    This song makes me cry sometimes. I think it's the nostalgia, partly, but probably also has some old homesickness memories attached to it. I remember a road trip with my dad and my sister and I were missing our mom horribly and we were so young. I'm pretty sure we both started crying in the backseat because this song was playing and it made us miss our mom. But my dad would have this song playing regularly on one of his burned CDs while we were driving around in his truck too. This and "Doctor, Doctor" are my favorites. I'm 26 now and I'm grateful that I was exposed to such great music at a young age, and I'm still discovering more.

    "If You Were Here" was featured on the "16 Candles" soundtrack, and "InTo The Gap" is another good song by The Thompson Twins.

  • @rebelheartcr8599
    @rebelheartcr8599 Před 3 lety +1

    If I'm not mistaken the lead singer, Tom Bailey, wrote this song after an argument he had with Alannah Currie, the female band member who plays the percussions and the marimba. They were a couple. They later got married and in the late 80s/early 90s they moved to New Zealand, where Alannah is originally from. However, in the early 2000's they got divorced. This band has many other great songs and what I think it's really interesting in their sound is the instruments they incorporate such as the marimba, certain types of percussions accompanying the typical 80's pop/new wave sound.

I used to also dye it red like his too. Bleaching my hair white like Aimee's didn't come until I was grown because my mother wouldn't let me 😄

    The songs of the 80s always had a positive vibe. I was growing up in the early eighties and at the time you don't realize how great these songs are until you get older and you look back on them. I guess in retrospect you develop a newfound love for them.

    "Doctor Doctor" is also really good. Please do more Crowded House (but be sure to do the studio versions because much of what's on here live is just Neil Finn and you need to hear their beautiful harmonies. "Fall At Your Feet", "Better Be Home Soon", "World Where You Live."
