I'm stuck in the 80s. I can't get out, please… don't get me out of here! (This syndrome happens to everyone who lived from 20 to 30 years of age in a certain era, we always think that ours is the best).
A true 80s classic. The two note synth after each verse makes me stop and listen every time I hear this song. Like a doorbell that asks me to open up and listen. Something important is coming next. Fantastic song.
Love this song! I used to drive on the 5 freeway on my way to work in Downtown L.A listening to KROQ. I would hit the clubs in Hollywood with my co-workers after work. SUCH GREAT MEMORIES, 80's AWESOME!
For me, in my late 20's, this music still evokes emotional feelings....I was in love with the music and what was happening then, for me. Still one of my favorites!
I also like B-Movie, Nowhere Girl and Heaven 17, Let Me Go! Best 80's Songs for me and this one always played it loud on my way to work in my 86 Trans Am. All the remixes had on cassette.
fantastic music and so sad to learn of Mark Hollis passing today. Talk Talk one of the most under rated bands ever. Very influential on other musicians.
80’s without Talk Talk ? No chance.. love them deep in my heart ❤️. There is something very special in this band. Sure people knows that. I call it unique. With all the respect to many bands from that era that I like too .
I still remember Mark Hollis back in 1984 claiming in an interview (cheek in tongue though) that his aim was to write songs which one would still listen to twenty-five years later. Now this one truly has passed the test of time, as well as many others he wrote.
I was 16 in 1982 when I first heard of Talk Talk probably because I was at college with the bass players younger brother, He took my 45 in single home and got his brother to sign it for me, Now here i am aged 53 and still listening to Talk Talk on an almost daily basis. So yes he succeeded.
Not appreciated enough in their day - a phenomenal band with many great songs. They helped me through a lot of shit. And years later, this still fucking rules.
My favourite of theirs is such a shame. That's the one I found last year. Carnt believe I grew up in the 80s and only song I,d herd of theirs wa it's my life.
Probably one of the best and most beautiful songs ever written. The synthesizer sequences are superb, and the vocals are great. The 12" version is far superior to the single which has a very short (and disappointing) ending. I've listened to this song many hundred's of times, and never get tired of it.
Been listening to this since -84 but haven't understood the lyrics until 2018. I am mesmerized by the sound of the voice more than the meaning of the words. The soundscape is magical. 'How much do you commit yourself?' Is not to himself but to his lover.
You are not kidding song after song and especially this dance tune. The whole club would crowd the dance floor with hardly any room to get down. ...but you made sure you had a space to show your dancing talent. Great memories. ...
Listen to the 'Colour of Spring' album. It has some of their best tunes on it...and for sheer 80s loud, Simple Minds - 'Sparkle in the Rain' album. I used to drive across London in my two-blue tone Mini with the dodgy heating and matchboxes protecting the uncovered ends of wires from touching other parts of the car, listening to Simple Minds and Echo & the Bunnymen at full tit from the 80s car stereo.
The 80s were quite the time to be alive in the west in many ways. I was a young kid then but I have a weird cultural echo of it in my memory, the way I suppose many people remember the zeitgeist of their childhood decade without many of the details, until comments like yours come along to fill them in.
70s didnt had this golden era of synthesizer and its music in composition with drums and guitar...only 80s cuz of electronic music even thought this type borned in late 70s and grew up after

I was stationed in the middle east; and it reminds me of the distance from home, in the states. Calling my wife, at strange hours. Amazing how comprehensive our minds are to remember all of it. Like a time stamp / I'll hear it, and I am back -so far away------------------
Puesss sí y no. Mejor llámale Reino Unido, para considerar tanto a los escoceses, norirlandeses y galeses. Y éso que, no me meto en decir el legado irlandés, jamaicano y demás en la música inglesa, no siempre reconocido
This is the Steve Thompson U.S extended remix -- one of the best ever. Never tire of this great record which peaked @ #1 for one week on the Billboard Dance chart in the first half of 1984. Great record enhanced by Thompson's flawless remix. Destined to fill any dance floor.
RIP Mark Hollis. This song is and will always be one of my favorites of all time. Thought I had virtually every version of this classic on vinyl. This with the stutter drum sequences and the hard ending are new to me. Never heard it. Song always makes me feel melancholy but I still listen to it all the time. I'm 53 now!!!
Fantastic song....I was lucky enough to see Talk Talk twice "back in the day" and they were awesome. First 3 albums were outstandingly good and after that I just couldn't get it.
