    2. I see the clip know and see how old they are in 2019 and ask myself where is the time?
    I hope you all unterstand what i mean? The time fly away so fast that i don´t know how much will us be left? I´m afraid that the time of life is to short when i see and hear so a beautifull song like this...

    Just beautiful. Brings back so many memories...... I so....so...miss the 80's. Makes my heart ache... I recall listening to this song blasting on my boom box in the 80's. Late nights in my bedroom. Also calling them old is just not classy at all. All that matters is that their talented and can perform like the professionals that they are. Kinda surreal that that the ballet dancer wasn't even born when this song song was originally released. Those of us that lived this song in real time, this a great tribute.

    This is a strange song.

Its one of those anthem songs that bespoke of a time and worked for so many people. So many mixed tapes no matter the genre would have this in it back in the day.

    I was in junior high when this came out. Oh god i miss those days, this song reminds me of the first girl I fell in love with.

    I've never heard a version of this song that I didn't absolutely love, but this Sirs, is pure artistry❣

    Toen ik deze versie hoorde, ben ik gelijk op zolder gaan zoeken in mijn oude vinyl collectie. Single gevonden. Met op de hoes allemaal handgeschreven teksten van mijn toenmalige geliefde. Zucht....
