It is a metaphor for the analog to digital age ..and how we slowly traded our humanity souls for our little digital masters ...and here we are ...40 years later
This song is now officially 40 years old and having heard it randomly today in a Trader Joe's in LA I realize it more perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being in your 40s in the year 2024 than Mr. Kershaw could have ever imagined.
I randomly heard this song today in a truck stop coming home from work I almost didn't stop there but decided to anyway although they didn't have what I wanted the fact that I got to hear a small bit of this beloved classic definitely made the stop worth it this was a song I completely forgot about but love love love very much. Still rocking Nik Kershaw in 2024 baby.
Was reminded of this song while playing Song Pop this a.m. I really liked this song in Pretty In Pink. It was just one of those songs you sang while watching the movie for the zillionth time.
40 years huh, can it have been that long already? I suppose so. The world seemed so different then, but I was just a child and so very naieve about everything. Well at least I'm young enough to know that everything taught to me was a lie and I'm not too old to do something about it. Hahaha!
I’m not sure if Nik could have possibly known how this song allowed me to feel my emotions as a teen being abused almost daily. Over 40 years later it still allows me to release emotions related to complex PTSD suffered throughout my life. The recent healing merges with the memory of those who bullied and abused me and allows me to remember that those days are no longer present. It reminds me that I can show my emotion in a safe place…..finally without repercussion. It reminds me of my growth. It allows me to revisit my pain and appreciate that someone felt as desperate and lonely as myself but never gave up and kept fighting. I love this song so much.
When I discovered this song in the 90s, I was blown away that 80s music could be that "deep" and profound. As a grunge loving 90s music kid, we all thought 80s music was vapid and silly. Oh were we wrong....lol Now I know better...thank you Nik ❤
Haven’t heard this song since grade 1 or 2. Besides being emotional right now, this is a brilliant song, musically speaking. Amazing chord progressions. You can hear that craftsmanship of real musicians.

I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you've got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fiber My broken spirit is frozen to the core I don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? Wouldn't it be good to be on your side? The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care? You must be joking You don't know a thing about it You've got no problem I'd stay right there if I were you I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard I got it Stay out of my shoes If you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside The sweat is coming through each and every pore I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day?

Can we go back to the 80s? I was a kid in that era n i loved this song..this n old school duran duran. Beautiful free fun times 🎉 and this imspired my music thank u Nik
I remember a station in Houston, TX that used to play this a good deal in the late 80s and early 90s, and I just fell in love with it then and it's now a great 80s jam song for me. Excellent tune.
The 80s in my town were so much calmer. Life was easier. Expectations were obtainable and community based. Humanity is more connected than ever now yet it is the most lonely time in human history
Thank you for all your years of service to the music industry! This is still one of my favorite songs. How did you ever write/compose this masterpiece? I still don't want to be here 'no more. :-)
I loved this since I first heard it come out on the late night Video Rock show. This song is still perfect and the video still matches the vibe of the space visitor who absorbs and reflects the traumas of everyone he meets until it drives him to flee. I always hoped it meant he’s returned home at the end.
Time goes by. I was 30s then. Now I'm 70s. I learned 1 thing from this tune, there's no such thing as love, you all just feel sorry for each other. Poor bastards😉😉😉. Coming from a real alien waiting for the lift. ❤❤❤
me too, this is one of the strangest music video i ever saw in my whole life, im 55 years old and still without understanding thi video, and the song is a really good song,
I want that suit. Lowkey this is one of my favorite songs. Born too late to experience this when it was first out, but, not born too late to carry on the awesomeness of the track. (Born in 1989)

I’m 53 and still love this great 80’song never will get tired of this song ❤😊
Music of your youth... who could possibly blame you?
i'm 55 and agree. These we're the best songs and era we grew up in. 80s we're great.
J🎉p p @@cheeseandonions9558
Yep top 80"s mtv video😊
Good music to grow up with no doubt.
"I don't wanna be here no more.
I don't wanna be here no more."
As a kid who grew up in the 80s, I couldn't agree more.
Me and you both 👍.
Amen!
The nostalgia overload on this one is so great it's almost painful.
❤❤
it's cause you are REAL!
Lol...WTF is WRONG with you
Oh I agree!
It sure is. The nostalgia.
2024 people here? Or am I the last living person in my generation? Love the song so much…❤
Not the last 🙂
Im watching Pretty in Pink right now. They just played this.

There is a never better time than the 80s. So many memories. ❤
The 80's was pop culture heaven.
Time is what you MAKE it
can't remember. too blown away. but I sure remember nik kershaw

Heard this song yesterday while leaving Red Lobster. Reminds you of all the great music that helped make the 80s.
A super market (feel good in aisle 6) staple - heard it in Publix yesterday afternoon…

I’m 57 and have reverted back to when I was 18 years old right now! Luv this song
Me too.
I have too.
Same here😊
Same, I'm 59. Love it ❤❤
I'm 57 and I feel the same way
And just like that I'm a teenager again for five minutes.
Me 2 ✍🏻🎼❤️⏱
Love your comment ❤. Art made song, nowadays we have just most of the time pure crap!
Sign best of times 😭😭
Indeed......It feels good.
Yup. But it still feels so relevant!!?? Why is that?
When MTV was MTV!!!
Y'all know its about being in west Berlin.
❤
Those were the days, huh...
@@kmichellewalton4901I didn't know that at all. It sure adds a new dimension...
Hear hear

The 80's needed this song today!
The 80's have the best songs!! The English bands really made some great music. I love this song too.
When I discovered this song in the 90s, I was blown away that 80s music could be that "deep" and profound. As a grunge loving 90s music kid, we all thought 80s music was vapid and silly. Oh were we wrong....lol
Now I know better...thank you Nik ❤
I love this song and “Pretty In Pink.” Thank you, Nik for this! Part of me wishes I could freeze the ‘80s.
I’m 26 and this song defined a large portion of my childhood
My favorite song and video of the 1980's. Everytime I listen, I'm 15 again.
Wish i could go back the times were so simple and people actually met face to face...and i would have my mom still alive...RIP mom
I was 17 and a senior in high school. Wish i could go back. Best times of my life.
Love this classic. They sounded good at Live Aid too.
Brilliant! Overlooked classic. Never has video and music have meshed better. An awesome achievement!
still remember the feeling of this being brand new, and loving the crunchy guitars mixed in with new wave keyboards. brilliant song! i was 15 or 16
Music is the closest thing we have to a Time Machine.
Very well said!! ❤
Yes it is
Yep
This is the most profound thing I have read on the interwebz today. Thank you this is quite true when you think about it.
So good to hear this again. I was in my young 20s. MTV was new. In fact the whole world seemed new.
Haven’t heard this song since grade 1 or 2. Besides being emotional right now, this is a brilliant song, musically speaking. Amazing chord progressions. You can hear that craftsmanship of real musicians.

I feel like I was born in the wrong generation, 80s music just hits so different. I'd trade being a 90s kid again to be an 80s kid.
Song my head today. Helping friends with their issues and barely handling my own. But I will not trade places.
Broken Wings, New Girl Now and this. All time classics
I love this song and Nik Kershaw forever!
Najcudowniejsze lata 80s już nigdy nie wrócą, słucham do dzisiaj ❤🩹POLAND 2024❤🩹🥰😍🤩😘
Great song.❤
If the sax 🎷 player is reading these comments, then kudos 👏 to you. That solo at the very end was a masterpiece.
Conceptually, this video was very creative. They don’t put this kind of effort into making music videos anymore.
Yeah, like the suit. It showed bad stuff of everyone he looked at or passed. Like a psychic suit
This song resonated at age 13 and still hits at my heart for the truth in it. ✨
Dancing in clubs to the greatest 80s ❤️great time
One of the greatest videos ever made. An even better song.
that song helped get me through a rough time. Thanks, Nik for it. ah, the power of music!!
Gonna be 55 March 18th! Miss the fuck outa the 80’s!!! This song sums up how I feel about this hellish shit show if the country now🤯🤦🏼♀️
I'll be 55 June 30th! 🎉 I love being snatched back in time. ☺️💗🎵
Just turned 51. I often wish I could go back. The music was definitely better.

@@1amfree Hope your upcoming birthday is filled with fun, and happiness🎂🍧🙂
51 here and I agree. Take me back to the 80’s please ❤
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away...
RIP Peter Collins (Producer).
Wouldn’t it be good to go back the 80s again 🎶
Absolutely 💯 😊
I went through a horrible break up with some cyber bulling and this is one of my songs. We both love the 80s. We found each other again. True love. ❤
I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy
You don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder
Just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting
Even though I know I should
The cold is biting
Through each and every nerve and fiber
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't wanna be here no more
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day?
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?
The grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?
You must be joking
You don't know a thing about it
You've got no problem
I'd stay right there if I were you
I got it harder
You couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay out of my shoes
If you know what's good for you
The heat is stifling
Burning me up from the inside
The sweat is coming through each and every pore
I don't wanna be here no more
I don't wanna be here no more
I don't wanna be here no more
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day?
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?
The grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?
I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy
You don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder
Just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting
Even though I know I should
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be here no more
Thanks you!
😎❤️😎 thanks !!!
Takes me right back to grade 1 in 1985 in Paris, hit after hit on the radio, so glad I grew up in the 80s
Can we go back to the 80s? I was a kid in that era n i loved this song..this n old school duran duran. Beautiful free fun times 🎉 and this imspired my music thank u Nik
Love this song, both then and now!
NK was SO underrated
My neighbor introduced me to this song. Brilliant.
Still loving this song. Thanks Nik.
I loved this album. He should have been bigger
This song is such a nostalgic masterpiece of the 1980s.
Ahh the 80’s… we had the best music, coolest cars, and the prettiest women!
Home Depot plays this song on there loop. That's Awesome!!!!!
Awww...what a great song.
I was fourteen years old when this came out.
I remember a station in Houston, TX that used to play this a good deal in the late 80s and early 90s, and I just fell in love with it then and it's now a great 80s jam song for me. Excellent tune.
I had the white summer suit, haircut, white leather shoes no socks, damn the best of days
This song was the last 45rpm I ever purchased. 40 years ago. Whoa!
When a drive to my favourite destination, Prince Edward Island province in Canada I play it around 20 times or maybe more!!!!
There is a never better time than the 80s.
The 80s in my town were so much calmer. Life was easier. Expectations were obtainable and community based. Humanity is more connected than ever now yet it is the most lonely time in human history
2023.. rocking this going back to my youthfulness of the years of me..
One of the best songs of the 80's. Never gets old. Love it.
A staple from the 80’s and such a great song!! Also when videos had a story to them ❤❤❤and taste.
Thank you for all your years of service to the music industry! This is still one of my favorite songs. How did you ever write/compose this masterpiece? I still don't want to be here 'no more. :-)
I love this song♪
I don't y this makes me cry my uncle died and I don't know what to do
I'm so sorry 😞
Yeah dont listen too much, it's underlying sadness is not good for too long. Hope you are much better. :)
Love the video and of course the song. Great one.
I'm so happy to see my younger self . Nothing is like the 80s
This is such a damn good song
Perfect for all time
I loved this since I first heard it come out on the late night Video Rock show. This song is still perfect and the video still matches the vibe of the space visitor who absorbs and reflects the traumas of everyone he meets until it drives him to flee. I always hoped it meant he’s returned home at the end.
I am almost certain that the Ray Bradbury short stories, "The Martian" and "The Visitor" were the inspirations for this video.
Many thanks for posting this video, this song is one of my all time favorites!
Time goes by. I was 30s then.
Now I'm 70s. I learned 1 thing from this tune, there's no such thing as love, you all just feel sorry for each other. Poor bastards😉😉😉. Coming from a real alien waiting for the lift. ❤❤❤
me too, this is one of the strangest music video i ever saw in my whole life, im 55 years old and still without understanding thi video, and the song is a really good song,
Welcome to the 1980s. lol. I’ve seen some that were actually even weirder than this , from that time period!
Perhaps one of the best one hit wonders in all the 70's. Definitely ahead of its time. Too bad this artist kind of just faded away.
80's not the 70's
1984
1983/84
Oh I still love this song and video so much!❤❤❤ Where is Nik Kershaw?
Me too this is one of my favorite songs which can take me back to the 80’s
For some reason, I associate this song with playing Space Invaders
Back when the future was not what it turned out to be.
that solo is nuts
The chorus of the song was just so good. I always thought this was a sad song when I was 15 when this song first came out.
I just found my childhood again!
Love this song. Mr kershaw thanks for this awesome gem. From Nz
Perfectly 80’s.
Top 50 Best Songs Ever...💯
Should have been a top ten hit.
I want that suit.
Lowkey this is one of my favorite songs. Born too late to experience this when it was first out, but, not born too late to carry on the awesomeness of the track. (Born in 1989)
Wouldn't it be good...if Tik Tok, Twitter and Instagram just magically disappeared, never to be heard from again.
I would give it all away to go back to the old days when MTV played music videos.
fantastic song ❤
1984 the year my daughter was born. Absolutely 1984!!!
I used to play this song in my room when my mom would fuss at me for not doing the dishes or something. I thought I had it so bad, geez 🙄. Lol!
Memories back in the day
High School days 1983 to 1987. Times were better. Yes this makes me a teenager again.😊😊😊😊
Cette chanson me rend insomniaque. Du coup j'ai 15 ans depuis 38 ans dans mes rêves 😎
Great song
Loving our Britain of the past. Teach the kids guitar
timeless.
Long Live the 80s.
Pretty in Pink soundtrack, right? What memories this song brings back...
I was a year old when this song came out.
This song is in “Pretty in Pink” and I love that movie!! I love ❤️ this song so much!!😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
