    The backstory to this makes this even more powerful. Tribute to God. She was about to die and prayed to God and she lived, hence “Back to Life, Back to Reality” “however do you want me, however do you need me”, she was talking to God as she was being grateful and thanking him and telling him that she is his to use however he needs to.

    As a metal head in the 80's through now, I've always listened to all genres. As a musician of 37yrs, I found that you can find inspiration in anything. This song was everywhere when it was released, couldn't escape it. This song forced me to dig deeper into the British R&B scene and let me tell you, some gems were found. (i.e. Five Star, Junior, Mica Paris, Loose Ends, David Grant and of course, the well knowns Lisa Stansfield, Rick Astley, Neneh Cherry , Simply Red, Billy Ocean). Amazing time in British R&B.

    Guys you shouldn't miss M People for sure, with the wonderful Heather Small magnificent voice as lead singer. The best of the British R&B of the 90th scene, any song of them is a gem and an unforgettable vibe of the time. I would start with "Don't look any further" then "Heather Small - Proud", "Just For You", "one night in heaven", "moving on up", " A sight for sore eyes", "Renaissance", "Itchycoo Park", "Search for the hero" so many big hits. You cannot, not know them.

    In England in the late 80s we had a culture called Acid house which mainly resided in underground clubs warehouses. By the summer of 89 we had moved into big raves in farmer fields and this echoed through the fields as the sun rised . This track will always have a special place in my life . Such beautiful times

    This takes me back to happier times in the 80's, and the thing that strikes me most, regarding videos from that era, is the fact they always appear to be enjoying life, happy and natural, especially, you tend to notice a lot of times there is sunshine, but not the glaring uncomfortable kind, but that warmth of a hazy summer's day, when life was filled with endless possibilities, and then you get the slow approach to sunset, again, memories of warm summer evenings with friends, no hassles, no worries, no fears, just optimism and the joy of living - something I sadly find missing in society today. As I fast approach 59, I find myself more often looking back to those halcyon days of music-rich 80's, the club scene, the non-judgemental lifestyles and fashions, and how people just accepted things and each other for what they were. But then, that's what being young was all about.
