My dad was tragically taken from me on the 30th of April 2020 in a car crash. He adored level 42, he has kept all his ticket stubs and book. He must of seen them over 50 times. The music is the only thing making me feel close to him.
I once read that the "clown" here represents the "problems/discussions" on a relationship, that are always there and if they're not faced, they can lead to an end... But at the end they did so 🙌
Yes i agree with you. i must have played the songs by Level 42 again anad again these few days. Because there is something about the group and the songs. 1980s generation music is surely the best.
My Mum loved Level 42 when I was a kid and because of her I was exposed to so much cool tracks from the 80s (I'm 43) into the 90's. She died five years ago and I'm looking back on these tracks and buying the best Of Albums as memories of our time together! This is going to be the next one! Recently purchased Tears For Fears and Depeche Mode. 😊
@Stargazer3131, you and I share a GREAT love for the mentioned bands, that being of course Level 42, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears and I'll add another...Pet Shop Boys! #80smusic #80skids #theeraofauthenticity
Absolutely, i always wanted a sony walkman i had a goodmans! 😂 flash forward to 2024 listening to this on a mobile phone with wireless headphones who'd have thought it 😂
Is it just me? When I hear certain songs, it takes me back to happy times in my life, can even smell how it was at that point. This phenomenon has to be the closest thing we have to time travel, I need it so badly it breaks my heart
I am in my 70's and when I here certain songs it takes me back to that time, even back to the 1950's. Without music in my opinion it would have been a very sad life.
Young men from 80's thinking about the future: "The future should be something wonderful"; Young men that was born in 80's and now are living in the nowaday: "Oh my God, how I did want with all my heart to back to the 80's!".
"Something About You" is a timeless pop classic that captivated audiences upon its debut in 1985 by the British band Level 42, featuring a remarkable fusion of synth-pop, jazz, and funk elements. Mark King, the lead singer, delivers soulful vocals while effortlessly showcasing his unparalleled skill with the bass guitar. The song's irresistible groove, catchy melodies, and heartfelt lyrics combine to create a euphonic masterpiece that has stood the test of time and continues to bewitch listeners worldwide to this day.
I cry whenever I hear this. I'm a 90's kid and both my parents were Level 42 fans so I heard this a lot as a kid. Reminds me of simpler and happier times
The older I get, the more amazed I get by the talent and maturity that artists such as this displayed as very young men. It makes me glad for them and sad for myself.
@@andymatthews7617 I can only speak from my own experience, but I have three kids, and none of them are moved by music as my friends and I were. The pop music they listen too, they like , but they are not as emotionally invested as previous generations. That’s how it seems..
Level 42 are not a band.they are a time travel machine transporting one to unimaginable places. The sounds they gave us ignited in us our sense of good . Brilliant
that was really well said. i remember being 8 or 9 years old listening to this back then thinking and knowing this song in particular was something very very special.
Genuinely didn’t know that. After the passing of Mark Hollis, that’s another part of my DNA lost to the gods. Thanks for the info, in a perverse sort of way. Bloody hell I’m getting old.
i am 47 ,,,,, nearly ...... these guys remind like it was yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please wake me up and let it be the 80s ................. and do it all again.. quality times ..... brilliant music x
If I close my eyes I’m a teenager again. 80’s was the best decade with the best music I’ve seen Level 42 several times over the years. If you’ve not seen them and get an opportunity to see them GO!!
The 70's was OFFICIALLY the best decade for music. The 80's had _some_ interesting bands but music had already been hijacked but accountants & packaged as a cynically produced product.
Hard to choose a bad song of Level 42. This one was the 1st one I ve Heard from them when I was a teen in France, that was it Level 42 have been in my life since then. Great band.
I remember, as a kid, listening to the lines that say "changing years they add to your confusion", and then feeling really scared about becoming an adult. Many decades have passed and I can say that my fears were at least in part justified.
É unânime que a década de 80 foi de ouro para a cultura mundial!! Incrível o poder e influência das obras primas produzidas naquela época onde nem se imaginava a tecnologia de hj!! Obrigado Deus obrigado anos 80
Ruim de envelhecer é que cada ano a década de 80 fica mais distante,como tinha músicas e bandas pra curtir que marcaram nossas vidas pra sempre, obrigado meu Deus por curtir essa maravilha
Uma das melhores músicas da década de 1980, e ver Mark King cantar e estourar aquele baixo com todas aquelas linhas legais enquanto canta. Como outros aqui notaram, não é uma tarefa fácil. E ele consegue isso sem esforço. Lembro-me de quando isso foi um sucesso. O sol brilhava muito mais forte naquela época.
Não nasci nos anos 80, descobri essa obra prima a 4 anos, desde então ouço ela todos os dias como se fosse a primeira vez! Qualidade que não vemos nos tempos atuais!
Wish I knew then that the guy I sat next to, when at Cowes high school on, the isle of Wight... Would go on to make such great songs like this and many others.. Still see Mark out and about, to this day..and have a laugh about life, back in the day. Nice bloke Mark King.
I saved up my pocket money, which was 50p a week in 1985, and went and bought this on 12''....me and my best mate Chris used to sing this and play our 'bass guitar' tennis rackets.....we were 13! Great times! I told Mark King this when I met him at a Football charity event at The Grosvenor hosted by David Beckham. Mark was brilliant and had all the time in the world to chat.....wasnt allowed to have a photo coz I was working....gutted! I LOVE LEVEL 42!!
I was born in 1986 and have been hearing this song my whole life. Finally woke up today and couldn't get it out of my head, it's like the first time I've ever really heard it. A very beautiful song
RIP Boon Gould, one of the most iconic songs of the 80s was "something about you". I saw Level 42 live at Wembley Arena in 1987, when this song came on the place was jumping. Why don't they make music like this anymore?
Q vontade d voltar no tempo, q saudade dos anos 80 e 90. Ouvir MÚSICAS como essa dessa banda maravilhosa LEVEL 42 nos reportam d uma maneira única. Meus parabéns e agradeço por talentos genuínos como esses 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was born in '82 but I vividly remember this being played regularly on the radio as I was growing up, and absolutely LOVING it (along with their other songs) They just seemed to have such a special sound to me... ❤
How how can it be that a love Carved out of caring fashioned by fate Could suffer so hard From the games played much too often But making mistakes is a part Of life's imperfections Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all (Oh drawn into the stream) (Of undefined illusion) (Those diamond dreams) (They can't disguise the truth) That there is something about you Baby so right I wouldn't be without you Baby tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things And a perfect dream of life Gone, fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love, it's not so wrong We're only human after all (Oh these changing years) (They add to your confusion) (Oh and you need to hear the time) (That told the truth) Because there's something about you (And now the way you are tonight) Baby so right I couldn't live without you (I couldn't live without you) Baby tonight! (Here tonight) Yeah (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) And now there's something about you (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Yeah Yeah And I couldn't live without you (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) To night
This is the song that made me fall in love with Level42 back in 1986... I was 12yo and then when i discovered their first albums i was astonished by their funky-fusion instrumental roots... they are my favourite all-time band and imho the most underrated talents in music history. Long live Level42
This is absolute class. From the arrangement to way it drifts elegantly from the start the end without really letting you know, you can just keep replaying as a continous soundtrack for the perfect day
Listening to this I remembered that when this was played on radio I was just a 7-8 years kid . Life was so simple and beautifull then . No worries , no time running away ... I miss those times!
Sinto uma mistura de nostalgia, tristeza e alegria ouvindo estas músicas felicidade em ter vivido um pouco dessa época em que éramos felizes e não sabíamos agora ficou só as lembranças de uma época que não volta mais
Raz náhodou mi sesternica pustila platňu a hneď som sa zamilovala do kapely Level 42.Úžasné presne ,výborný pán spevák ❤❤❤ a basgitarista. basgitarista.
Was it September or October 1985?…I’m not Googling to cheat😄. Incredibly evocative. I hadn’t heard of Level 42 until that point. When Running In The Family came out in 1987 I was all over the album.
This is an exceptionally well-produced song. Although it has a distinct 80's sound it's not a cheap quality production and has aged very well. I'm glad I was born in the last decade where actual talent, not shock factor and sex appeal, sold records and the results were so outstanding. Not everyone had the huge sales of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston but the standards were often equally as high. Until we can get back to focusing on the gems that lie within ordinary looking people we'll overlook the next Elton John's, Phil Collins and Level 42's who could write such great pieces of music with capturing lyrics. I feel very deprived looking at the Top 10 albums and singles nowadays.
En todo el maldito mundo ha proliferado la poca creatividad, calidad y sentido musical, osea nos vinimos abajo en saber llegar al alma y a los sentidos de manera cool ;)
No other music will come close to this amazing decade, by far the best musicwise and I feel so damn lucky to have lived thru those years, tons of good memories that forever will be part of Me ♥
I was born in 1970, so the early 80's were great years for me. I remember it like a soft-focus, sunlight drenched dream-like memory. All my senses & physicality were at 100%. I had an optimistic, playful, positive view of the world. It all seemed so much better and more fun then. This wonderful song was important to me then, and is important to me now. Oh, to be young again.
How, how can it be That a love carved out of caring Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard From the games played once too often But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all? Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams, they can't disguise the truth That there is something about you, baby, so right I wouldn't be without you, baby tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things and a perfect dream of life (gone) fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love And it's not so wrong, we're only human after all These changing years, they add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth That there is something about you, baby so right Don't want to be without you, baby tonight Because there's something about you, baby, so right I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight And that there's something about you, yeah And I couldn't be without you, tonight
I got into Level 42 whilst serving in the Army during the 80s, they’re one of or maybe even the most underrated British band, superb musicians in no matter which line up over the years. 🎼🎤🎸
Remember when this came out and didn't take that much notice at the time, but I am now catching up again with L42 and have watched this several times and realise what a clever video it is. Probably their best one. MK genius as ever.
Thats Cheri Lunghi, i fancied her so much in the manageress. As a tune, it makes me emotional. Long story, but my uncle who was my replacement father figure introduced me to level 42 and world machine. It has an extra meaning and significance.
Kkkk na minha epoca era louco por essa musica e principalmente pelo clipe e nunca achava não tinha net nem mtv e sempre que passa era de uma venda de coleções de cd era tipo Universe Colletion algo assim tinha dos anos 70,80,e.90 uma coleção de cds dessas épocas e tinha essa nossa foi a que mais me marcou por causa do clipe
This film clip is genius. Just utterly stunning. The song is of course amazing. But so many cool things going on. They don’t make em like this anymore. Utter genius
The 80s were a beautiful and incredible era, and experiencing it was a true privilege. Being immersed in the music scene during that time was truly memorable. It's difficult to pick a bad song from Level 42. This particular song was the first one I heard from them, and from that moment on, Level 42 became a significant part of my life. They truly are a great band.
My dad was tragically taken from me on the 30th of April 2020 in a car crash. He adored level 42, he has kept all his ticket stubs and book. He must of seen them over 50 times. The music is the only thing making me feel close to him.
you'll always have this music. It will never die. neither will the love you have for your father.
Uma ótima lembrança! Que os momentos mais doces e ternos confortem você!
sorry to hear that jamie music can soften it a wee bit be strong for your dad all the best

How did this not reach number 1 in the UK charts? What a fantastic song.
Yes but he's the only single of him they reached top 10 on Billboard that I see
..crap like Jive Bunny dominated the charts...
Lol you sound like Alan partridge.
Please don't say you prefer Jive Bunny!
How, how can it be
That a song crafted out of caring, fashioned by bass
Can chart so low?
The one thing I hate about getting older is that it takes me further and further away from the 80s, those wonderful teenage years
Times very very sadly missed 😢😢😢😢
Agreed
And Dyeing
Cant agree more I am 56 now loved the 80s great times great music.
Just stay in the moment the music keeps you there, its easy, i am the same approaching 60 but the music i like i like, i forget my age . nice post
Absolutely right
I once read that the "clown" here represents the "problems/discussions" on a relationship, that are always there and if they're not faced, they can lead to an end... But at the end they did so 🙌
Yep correct, I'm sure Mark had fun playing the clown when they filmed this. But damn, they all look so young back then, time is a real bitch.
Couldn’t agree more than a midget in bad Santa😮
I like that he sings about being "not so in love", but still remaining "tender together".
My three favourite songs of all time in no particular order… It’s my Life Talk Talk, Something about you Level 42 and Head over Heels
Tears for Fears
Good choices 👍
👍😎🎵🎶
On point baby😊😊😊
bud you forgot robert miles children 😀
Precisely! great choice! those 3 bands were epic!
It's this type of music that you can play over and over again. 80s generation music is the best
Ooooh yes my friend! 80 decade was marvelous fantastic and unforgettable about music fashion and more 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I agree👌
absolutely!!........
Compared to the rap crap 💩 music today…🤮
Yes i agree with you. i must have played the songs by Level 42 again anad again these few days. Because there is something about the group and the songs. 1980s generation music is surely the best.
I was a teenager when this was in the charts. I use to listen to this on my cassette recorder in my bedroom. 😂 80’s music is the best 👍🏻
I want the aliens to take me back and leave me there.
80's music best ever
Sin duda alguna amigo, saludos desde Ricaurte Colombia 🇨🇴🎼🍻👍
Saw this on Top of the pops, got ready and went out, that night I met my first real girlfriend, always reminds me of her!

I was seventeen in 1985 and if I could go back I would so without hesitation
not as good as being in late teens living in Manchester is early 90's.
I was eighteen! I miss that time of my life.
No decade will ever top the 80's!!!
True! Not even close!
Yes
Yess not even close...
70's was a bit better to be honest.
Not even the sixtys is better than the 80's.
39 years old and still sounds great ❤
Still a great live band too, King's voice has held up well and of course, his bass playing is still from another planet.
Agreed - I was a teenager when it came out and it was great then, but seems even better now!

RIP Boon Gould, one of the most iconic songs of the 80s was "something about you". I saw Level 42 live at Wembley Arena in 1987, when this song came on the place was jumping. Why don't they make music like this anymore?
Até hoje essa música mexe comigo ,adoro ,muito linda.
Parabéns 👏👏
Q vontade d voltar no tempo, q saudade dos anos 80 e 90.
Ouvir MÚSICAS como essa dessa banda maravilhosa LEVEL 42 nos reportam d uma maneira única.
Meus parabéns e agradeço por talentos genuínos como esses 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The 80s is & always will be the best decade
Passassem o tempo, essa música atravessa todas as fronteiras, é demais. Show de mais Brasil. Viva a música boa. Todos nós merecemos.
Viva a música boa👏👏👏👏💯
One of the greatest classic tracks that's forgotten by many people, who've obviously never had great taste for music.
I was born in '82 but I vividly remember this being played regularly on the radio as I was growing up, and absolutely LOVING it (along with their other songs) They just seemed to have such a special sound to me... ❤
Ça ne passe plus sur les ondes FM en France c'est pas grave heureusement qu'il y a youtube level 42 👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️ que de souvenirs ahlala ⭐
Si ! .. il faut écouter " NOSTALGIE ! "..
Mark King & the Level 42 band. Best ever from the 80's!
How how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much too often
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfections
Born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all
(Oh drawn into the stream)
(Of undefined illusion)
(Those diamond dreams)
(They can't disguise the truth)
That there is something about you
Baby so right
I wouldn't be without you
Baby tonight
If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things
And a perfect dream of life
Gone, fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love, it's not so wrong
We're only human after all
(Oh these changing years)
(They add to your confusion)
(Oh and you need to hear the time)
(That told the truth)
Because there's something about you
(And now the way you are tonight)
Baby so right
I couldn't live without you
(I couldn't live without you)
Baby tonight!
(Here tonight)
Yeah
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And now there's something about you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah Yeah
And I couldn't live without you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
To night
The essence of the 80s is this song and those synthesized choruses and arrangements.
Level 42 had some classic singles mid 80s "Leaving me now" "Lessons in love" and this gem "Something about you" classic 😎👍.
This is the song that made me fall in love with Level42 back in 1986... I was 12yo and then when i discovered their first albums i was astonished by their funky-fusion instrumental roots... they are my favourite all-time band and imho the most underrated talents in music history. Long live Level42
I..miei..più. ..bei...ricordi...Gio. ...sss....ciao...
This is absolute class. From the arrangement to way it drifts elegantly from the start the end without really letting you know, you can just keep replaying as a continous soundtrack for the perfect day
Listening to this I remembered that when this was played on radio I was just a 7-8 years kid . Life was so simple and beautifull then . No worries , no time running away ... I miss those times!
This song and the running in the family vinyl album was running hundreds of time on my Hi-fi in the eighties. I love the deep sound of Level 42
Whenever I hear level 42 it always takes me back to the 80s and being on the beach on a hot summers day.
Sinto uma mistura de nostalgia, tristeza e alegria ouvindo estas músicas felicidade em ter vivido um pouco dessa época em que éramos felizes e não sabíamos agora ficou só as lembranças de uma época que não volta mais
Son ,sonidos y letras muy profundas, se van con nosotros hasta el fin
Oh how I miss the 80's. Such good music around, spoilt for choice.
me2 😁
Not just the music, but the tv, the films, the innocence. My childhood...
i like 80s too
Me too
I could'nt agree more. The 80s was the best decade ever for music in my book.☺
Raz náhodou mi sesternica pustila platňu a hneď som sa zamilovala do kapely Level 42.Úžasné presne ,výborný pán spevák ❤❤❤ a basgitarista. basgitarista.
Essa música me faz lembrar de alguém que já não está mais neste mundo. ..E eu amava muito! Saudades eterna!
Iracema Martins de Almeida 😔
tras paz essa musica
I love the band Level 42. Reminds of good memory of youth! I was 22 years old at the time. Great band and great music! Oh yes!
M-Serge ALI I'm 22 and I absolutely love this song lol
Anna Brooks Haha. I've just turned 23 & I absolutely love Level 42. Tbh I love 80s music in general!
Como foi dito e eu concordo, que os anos 80 foram quando surgiram, na minha opinião as melhores bandas e musicas, inesquecíveis como esta.
Was it September or October 1985?…I’m not Googling to cheat😄. Incredibly evocative. I hadn’t heard of Level 42 until that point. When Running In The Family came out in 1987 I was all over the album.
The sound produced is lovely🎶🎶🎵🎵👍👍
This is an exceptionally well-produced song. Although it has a distinct 80's sound it's not a cheap quality production and has aged very well. I'm glad I was born in the last decade where actual talent, not shock factor and sex appeal, sold records and the results were so outstanding. Not everyone had the huge sales of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston but the standards were often equally as high.
Until we can get back to focusing on the gems that lie within ordinary looking people we'll overlook the next Elton John's, Phil Collins and Level 42's who could write such great pieces of music with capturing lyrics. I feel very deprived looking at the Top 10 albums and singles nowadays.
Completely agreed, rich in production values and not made in a bedroom which is why it stand up today unlike most of the trash now. Fantastic song.
Agreed. Well put.
Matthew Charlery-Smith everything is about so called "star quality" today...
En todo el maldito mundo ha proliferado la poca creatividad, calidad y sentido musical, osea nos vinimos abajo en saber llegar al alma y a los sentidos de manera cool ;)
Hate the fact that I have to agree with you on this. But at least we can all agree that this is a great song
No other music will come close to this amazing decade, by far the best musicwise and I feel so damn lucky to have lived thru those years, tons of good memories that forever will be part of Me ♥
Same here even at the age of 57. Become nostalgic when I get to hear the music of 80's. I wish there are time machines to travel bck to 80's .
The current year already has far better music. 80s are still good, but nowhere near as good what we have now. (Not talking about mainstream pop)
QUE PRIVILÉGIO TER CONTEMPLADO, NA MINHA ADOLESCÊNCIA, BANDAS TÃO EXCEPCIONAIS COMO ESSA. PURA NOSTALGIA 👏👏👏👏👏
I was born in 1970, so the early 80's were great years for me. I remember it like a soft-focus, sunlight drenched dream-like memory.
All my senses & physicality were at 100%. I had an optimistic, playful, positive view of the world. It all seemed so much better and more fun then.
This wonderful song was important to me then, and is important to me now.
Oh, to be young again.
É assim mesmo! Quando a gente é jovem tem uma visão romantizada do mundo. Tudo era tão fascinante! Eu sonhava com um mundo bem melhor. 😊
Esta música nunca pasará de moda, han pasado 34 años. Hermosa canción y muy buen grupo. 🇬🇧 🇨🇱❤️
así es, brother. Saludos, desde CARTAGENA - COLOMBIA
Con 18 años escuchando a Level 42, saludos de Perú
🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱!!!.
🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴!!!.
🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪!!!.
Toda vez que ouço essa música, parece que estou num sonho tão bom...
Verdade mesmo 👍🤔
Concordo com vc vivemos numa era de ouro e não sabíamos. Está música e linda.
@@adrianosales6966 linda
Verão de 85 foi mágico! Música boa, amigos legais, sem preocupações, etc.
Música que marcou minha adolescência. Estava começando a sair. Muito bom lembrar!
The power of music is quite incredible, it can take you back in time and you get to re-live the good memories.
Essa música faz parte da minha infância, minha mãe colocava o seu vinil , tempos de ouro ! Amo amo
Saturday night in listening to Level 42. What more could I ask?
Right there with you😂
How, how can it be
That a love carved out of caring
Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard
From the games played once too often
But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection
Born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all?
Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams, they can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you, baby, so right
I wouldn't be without you, baby tonight
If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things and a perfect dream of life (gone) fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love
And it's not so wrong, we're only human after all
These changing years, they add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth
That there is something about you, baby so right
Don't want to be without you, baby tonight
Because there's something about you, baby, so right
I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight
And that there's something about you, yeah
And I couldn't be without you, tonight
Thanks for saving me a click. Well done!
Thanks for lyrics
Thanks so much 👍
A huge hit in Brazil. Good memories. Wonderful music. 😭🇧🇷
Love this song, cracking video also
I got into Level 42 whilst serving in the Army during the 80s, they’re one of or maybe even the most underrated British band, superb musicians in no matter which line up over the years. 🎼🎤🎸
Played this track so many times as a teenager along with all the other level 42 stuff...(and still do) r.i.p. Boon.
Exactly the same story. Class.
Great band great songs great times very very sadly missed 😢😢😢😢
Remember when this came out and didn't take that much notice at the time, but I am now catching up again with L42 and have watched this several times and realise what a clever video it is. Probably their best one. MK genius as ever.
This was just a pop song when I was a kid... Now it's a whole lifetime of memories.....❤️
I was a DJ in my early years and i had a Level 42 Mega Mix of their songs I played as a "warm up" i was offered much money for iy, still have today
Yes I know exactly what you mean.....Bless................
Thats Cheri Lunghi, i fancied her so much in the manageress. As a tune, it makes me emotional. Long story, but my uncle who was my replacement father figure introduced me to level 42 and world machine. It has an extra meaning and significance.
Amazing song and video,Cherie Lunghi was the icing on the cake❤️
Alguém aqui se lembra dos comerciais da Som livre que passava essa e outras musicas?
Kkkk na minha epoca era louco por essa musica e principalmente pelo clipe e nunca achava não tinha net nem mtv e sempre que passa era de uma venda de coleções de cd era tipo Universe Colletion algo assim tinha dos anos 70,80,e.90 uma coleção de cds dessas épocas e tinha essa nossa foi a que mais me marcou por causa do clipe
As canções eram tão boas que mesmo passando rápido só um trechinho da música no comercial da som livre a gente não esquecia mais.
Era a coletânea best of the universe, passava na CNT Gazeta de Madrugada. Ficava acordado só pra ouvir rsrsrs
This film clip is genius. Just utterly stunning. The song is of course amazing. But so many cool things going on. They don’t make em like this anymore. Utter genius
yeah im looking for a video analysis in the comments! so creepy cool
Thanks for the comment! I cut it, Stuart Orme directed.
The divine Cherie Lunghi in the video - she is just SO gorgeous!
Amo demais level 42 , essa é uma das melhores músicas de todos os tempos , Fábio 5/05/2020
The ever best song and clip of the band. What a perfection, from instruments to vocals. All songs of Level42 are wonderful and timeless.💎
The 80s were a beautiful and incredible era, and experiencing it was a true privilege. Being immersed in the music scene during that time was truly memorable. It's difficult to pick a bad song from Level 42. This particular song was the first one I heard from them, and from that moment on, Level 42 became a significant part of my life. They truly are a great band.
I would listen to this probably for hours on repeat.
Nothing can make me this now.
Brings me to tears the 80s music and touch u so deeply
