      Perhaps a bit underrated, but I liked a lot of his songs. And Tina Turner appears to have appreciated him. If I remember correctly, she did a concert once with Howard Jones on the synthesizer and Phil Collins on drums. I really liked that.

      My childhood 1968-1986 sounded so magical, culminating in Howard Jones and his contemporaries. People roll their eyes, but true music genius has been ten times as rare ever since. Boomers disagree, GenX and beyond disagree, but I consider myself on the cusp of 2 generations, raised with Boomers for siblings and schooled with GenX. Right here in the middle was the Golden Age to me. And it was an honor and a pleasure to be raised by the Greatest Generation.

    This song and video as a child inspired me. A white English Girl from a low income family with an Indian Uncle from Kenya and racist Grandmother. The video and song made me want to make friends around the world. Now 48, I have travelled the world on oil industry ships and met hundreds of people from all over from Greenland to New Zealand and married an amazing human from the country they tried to make us hate in the 80's ( Russia/Ukraine/Soviet Union). Thank you Howard for inspiring me to see beyond the surface into the soul.

    Howard is a genius, to write music like this that some 40 years after it's release still stirs up emotions of nostalgia/euphoria/emotion all at the same time is mind blowing.
    An original pioneer and master of his craft.
    Howard thanks for a lifetime of magic.

      Everything was better in the 80s. The economy hadn’t yet gone down the drain, music and movies were unique and original, and even the ads had their own jingles (as opposed to copping 30 year old pop songs).

      @Deus Vult Yes, it sounds like a good life. If it were me, I think I'd use my time machine to go back to the 90s. I think the 90s were the perfect balance between technology and life. The internet has made life too easy, I think. But, in the 90s, the internet was used as a tool, as it was supposed to be, not as someone's whole life!

    Just want to simply say
    Won't let you slip away
    People want to talk about the future
    Don't want to linger on the past
    Just want to reach to the real you inside
    Forget cold glances and rejections
    Leave the things that separate
    Build on a trust that we can stand on
    Like to get to know you well
    Like to get to know you well
    Like to get to know you well
    So we can be one

    Opening the same door
    Leaving out a stubborn pride
    Seeing from another side
