    “I could’ve been someone, well so could anyone, you took my dreams from me, when I first found you. - I kept them with me babe.
    I put them with my own
    Can't make it all alone
    I've built my dreams around you”
    Truly one of the best but if lyricism I’ve ever heard. Really gets you down deep. As a man, as a husband, this line is the most meaningful of all and has me in tears every time.

      That’s how real love is. I sometimes wonder how men communicate with women in the younger generation because my generation(Genx) the men did some wonderful true love songs. You don’t really see it so much in music now. I could be wrong but I think men were more romantic back in the day.

      I think you’re right in the sense that the most popular music isn’t as romantic as it once was. There’s still great songs out there though and it doesn’t take much digging. It’s just not the stuff you hear all over the radio or TikTok I guess.

      You do realise that this was written by an English guy, not Shane... I love Shane (we had drinks a few times, pints of Martini, no ice), and this song, but this has to be the worst version that exists. He can hardly even mime the words , (TOTP's was mimed at this time) . Even Kirsty looks well out of it. Not the way I want to remember either the song, or the group...
