    Those who weren’t around in the 80’s shall never know how happy we were, how everything was so colourful, so blissful… the feeling of waiting for the phone to call, the post to arrive, meeting friends at a local joint with no need to pencil a day or time, etc etc life was sooooo joyful. If only we could go back…

    Those of us who lived in the 80's are both blessed and cursed to have experienced the magic of such a emotionally charged musical era during our formative years. The bar was set so high we thought we'd have it forever only to realize years later what we had and never to go back. The era to me represents the quintessential meaning of saudade. Having lived in the 80s and what it was makes the current scene appear quite dismal and hopeless.

      I agree with the previous commments. Since I worked in music retail for 30 years since the mid-80's and learned how the entire machine worked, I came to a conclusion. The corporate ear and the listeners ears are different. Some artists, frankly, were just too good for radio. Their sound was atmospheric and sophisticated when programmers wanted simplicity. Image also played It's part. Some bands didn't get airplay or consideration because of how they looked. Prefab Sprout, I believe, to some looked ordinary and was marketed well. I could name several others as you likely can as well. This was unfortunate because that's how many artists were missed. Imagine how many more we would have missed had it not been for MTV and VH-1? Also for magazines like "Star Hits" which showed us the bands, pictures of say Great Britain, and interviews with them. A shout also goes to university radio who gave exposure to lesser known bands both US and abroad. Lastly the independent record stores for they were place to find the obscure and new MTV bands. The 90's had a nice surge of indie and international artists. I believe in response to Grunge. We from the 80's weren't all about doom, gloom, angst, and fear of tomorrow.

      ​@@littlenigeI agree. Spoiled and overwhelmed. Because with the thousands of CDs and cassettes I collected, I'm always finding something I had a bit of and now am fully appreciating thru an in-depth listen or rediscovery. Even totally missed some, because of an uneventful single or album at that time. Now decades later realizing they never disbanded and just weren't played or seen here kn the US much anymore. Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 is my latest. Prefab Sprout has been a constant.

      I'm 47 I remember some of the songs as I was very young but even in the Late 80s going to secondary School listening to Bryan Adams Bon Jovi you would still here to early 80s music at times, I remember Live Aid at Christmas just all thoses moments, then you got the early 90s with REM and the likes that I think was infulanced by the 80s music. Even their music videos were done in Black and white same with alot of early 90s it changed alot then to more modern pop and some new rock. I think the 90s pop music was not the same but was still good. But then after 2001 music started to go down hill with with Theses manifacture pop bands that only last a few years, which was awful, I've listed to bands that didn't last in the 90s that I thought were amazing and still better that thoses manifactured bands of the X factor.

    My love and I, we work well together
    But often we're apart
    Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah
    Till love breaks down, love breaks down
    Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
    The sweet September rain
    Rain on me like no other
    Until I drown, until I drown
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you
    When love breaks down
    The lies we tell
    They only serve to fool ourselves
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you
    When love breaks down, when love breaks down
    My love and I, we are boxing clever
    She'll never crowd me out
    Fall be free as old confetti
    And paint the town, paint the town
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurtin' you
    When love breaks down
    The lies we tell
    They only serve to fool ourselves
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurtin' you
    When love breaks down
    The lies we tell
    They only serve to fool ourselves
    When love breaks down
    The things you do
    To stop the truth from hurting you
    When love breaks down
    You join the wrecks
    Who leave their hearts for easy sex

I was lucky enough to see them play the Aston Villa Leisure Centre, a perfect size location for me. 2 or 3,000 if I remember correctly a few years later! I categorise their music and lyrics with others who I respect like Paul Heaton, Paul Weller and Mark Hollis from Talk Talk.

      I think many people mistake a "simpler" time to a "better" time.
      My 40s (2010s) have been the best time of my life and that includes going through a divorce and cancer! I fell 10 time more alive today than I did as a teen in the 80s. Must be a mental thing. I much prefer being grown up than being a child. Everything and everyone is clearer.

    This song brings back so many happy memories. I was fortunate to be in my teens and twenties. Thursday Friday and Saturday either out at clubs or working behind the bar. What an amazing bunch of people listening and commenting, no negatives, no nastiness only enjoyment and support. Thank you all of you. Stay safe.

      I disagree. I think he's a good songwriter (and a thoroughly nice bloke) but I hated his music then and now. While I think his lyrics were almost always brilliant, for me his music was too smooth, too produced and I dislike his musical brain (his chord choices and Americanisms). Different strokes etc.

    I've just read a few of people's comments and I truly wish I could turn back the clock for everyone who is going through some awful things in their lives. I too feel like a shadowman and the sun doesn't shine in my world anymore since I became so ill and my beautiful woman of my dreams walked away from me. I built my world around her and trusted her unconditionally and now I sit with my head in my hands and cry a lot with my ill health and loneliness and emptiness since she left me and I've never ever felt so lost and alone. It's amazing that when we were busy and younger in the 80's we were too busy living our lives and partying to truly listen to the lyrics of these beautiful 80's songs. Nowadays life has become so unhealthy and unhappy for a lot of people we sit and reflect what we had and what we've lost and god how it hurts. Even though I know my heart is broken and I can't smile anymore I hope life will get better for all you guys who have problems too! as i wouldn't want anyone to go through what I'm going through.

I truly wish that I could change the way you feel and I hope that your wife is now at peace from this awful disease that took her away. I'm sure that she will always dance in your heart and walk in your soul forever and a day. Please have a listen to my very special friend on you tube. His name is Charlie landsborough and very famous. He wrote 2 beautiful songs about very beautiful people who we lose in our lives. The first song is called if only? And the second song is called you're still around. The words to these songs are so very beautiful and meaningful and I hope that you find comfort in them as they will truly be songs that will tell the story how you truly feel about your wife? Anyway may God bless and guide and protect you and somehow give you the strength and ability to cope with the loss of your wife and may she always and forever RIP. All my respect to you my friend for you taking the time for your kind and reassuring words to me especially with all that you are going through too! Please take care my friend from John 👤

    From The Breakfast Club: "when you grown up your heart dies!". I just think that a heart of a teenager is strong passions, dreams, happyness, sadness and an aged heart will never forget those days.

      That film is truly fantastical; But when years go by, time wears down memories/standards and above all principles. and one also becomes grayer and wiser. I understand you, I just hope you understand me too.I can assure you that a heart does not die but becomes wiser, more mature, and more patient.

The world was all ahead of me. I bought this album on vinyl LP when it was new on recommendation from a friend. Thanks, Marshall, you were a nice bloke to know.
