    1983 was a very dark year in my life. I was in high school battling depression and drug abuse. It would be another 2 years to overcome my addictions, and nearly another 20 years to overcome the depression. This is an amazing song. Never got sick of it, still love it today.
    Today I have a wife and 2 kids, still clean and depression free. Last year on one of my trips, ( I drive a school bus) I had this playing on the bus radio, and I could hear 2 or 3 girls in the back singing along to this. Only goes to show, a great song will transcend time and generations.

      @@richardburdick9430 glad to hear it. I think a multitude of things can cause it. It seems in life when things are going well. They go well. When things go bad, they keep going bad. They say that as you get older you tend to become happier. They also say that 30s-40s can be a difficult time. Part of it may be explained through friendships drifting apart but being rekindled in 50s/60s. I guess when kids leave home and you have more free time?

    Back when I was 15, I cycled a 10 mile round trip to buy this masterpiece. On the last half mile, I turned a corner and a gust of wind blew the record bag, which was hanging on my handlebars, into the front wheel of my bike and broke my new purchase in half. I was obviously devastated. The following week, I found enough money to do the cycle trip again back to the shop, but this time I bought the 12" single, and was more careful getting it home! I still have that record today, with all my other records I bought in my youth and, believe me, they sound just as good today as they did back in the 80's. With a decent record deck they can actually sound alot better than the CD equivalent.

      And it's like that again now! It's full circle! LP's aren't going anywhere, vinyl is here to stay no matter how "advanced" or "so called advanced" technology gets! The redbook CD standard takes the "depth" and "soul" out of the music! And MP3 is even worse! Convenient as hell, but sonically uninteresting and dull! Thank god for the analog resurgence!

    Tony Hadley is so right. Part of the magic as a kid was saving up to buy a record, get it home and put it on the turn table. And just sit there and look inside, all the details. Today's generation I don't think 'get it' and to be fair that's no fault of theirs, it is just the way the industry has changed into streaming. Plus music is so plastic nowadays. Also, although I'm into hard rock and the Pistols, I always loved Span. I never ever told my mates, I would have been mocked so badly, but I got the chance to see them in 2015 and it was just magical for me. That this band was so influential also, part of the New Romantic genre with DD. As a very young boy these are memories I'll forever cherish. Buying 'Dynasty' and 'Pyromania' are the first record I ever got. Still have them too. I just wish the band did not go through all the legal fights, cos they reformed but again have split. Shit happens to the really great bands too much.

    I’m s nostalgia freak. When I hear this song I’m taken straight back to the summer of 1983, and my family was at a community picnic at a state park. My sister brought her mini-boom box and had this song recorded off the player, as people did back then (that was how we got our music then). And she played this song on the way home. Every time I hear this at the supermarket, on Sirius, whenever...I sing it. Loudly.

The had a new singer in 2018, but he was sacked by Gary. The boy himself heard the news from Martin on the tele. Steve was not pretty amused about all this.

    Spandau Ballet, my all time favorite band, I became a drummer around that time (1983) and when I saw John Kebble using the Simmons SDSV electronic drums I said I got to have one of those and guess what!
    I got one in white too, still have it today, 35 years and counting.

    Tony hadley: "yeah mate we used to buy records and look at all the writing on the cover and yeah it was good chat I'm not too nostalgic bout it tho"
    Tony Hadley fans: "looking at the liners of a freshly pressed vinyl was like a right of passage for the youth and that sense of belonging and kinship with these pertinent albums of history shaped and molded these generations more so than anything else happening at the time. Sometimes I pull out my first vinyl and weep for three days straight as I remember the joy and exuberance of my youthful attention poring over these works. The youth of today have nothing like this to hold them steadfast against the weather's of life, society and modern day slavery. It is no suprise to me that we struggle deeply with mental illness in these following generations. Vinyl records and the ritualistic means of consuming them is the only tried and test form of antidepressant. We need to go back to our roots as the human race and embrace vinyl once again"

      Yeah well you know, boomers be booming. Xers be x'ing. (i'm X but late, i only knew cassettes and cd's and then mp3s happened and well..i haven't bought a physical album in 20 years now)
      Older generations always want to think their generation and youth was best. It'll never change. Zoomers in 40 years will be like "look at this shit, not one single cellphone in the crowd, what a shame... people used to have to hold this physical thing in their hands to record their experiences of life, now it's all recorded straight from your retina in your memory bank and there's really something that's been lost when we lost that physical link to technology, younger generations will never know the thrill of going home and having to upload your shitty quality video on the internet to show everyone you'd been to that show., hell people dont even have to go to shows anymore, they can stream it directly from some android proxy as if they were physically there, the whole physical proximity, the thrill of experiencing something with others is lost, we really lived in the best time but now it's gone forever."
