    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.

    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. 😊

    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

    Take me back to the 80’s when decades were actually individual and all had their own unique characteristics, their own styles, and sounds. Things were being discovered and invented, their was an air of optimism and hope as to what the future might hold. Now the future is here and the 2010’s are no different to what the 2000’s were like. People don’t talk to each other anymore and we live our lives through a screen on a computer or phone, too busy caring too much about what others think of us. We are told what to think, everyone looks the same and everything sounds the same. With the “music machine” churning out the same old crap rap, dance and r&b songs daily, auto tuned beyond recognition. Take me back to the good old days!

      Ah yes. North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Muslims were so much easier to categorize then. Hmm? We're talking about music? That is what I'm talking about. Well the 50s music put an emphasis on unknown fears and family, the 60s had more emphasis on ballads and making children, the 70s was all about dancing and throwing your cares away, the 80s had songs full of power sentiment, and the 90s discovered electro music and proceeded to make most of their songs sound the same. It's almost as if every decade of pop music had a political agenda for making countries seem stronger and boosting population against your enemies!
      Now that there are thousands of artists out there desperate for someone to give their music a listen, it's sooooo hard to find good music these days when you're too lazy to open your search bar.
      Get over yourself. The individualized styles of the singular decades you're talking about are only the surface level pop music the radio taught you. Even then if you took the time to search around you'd find hundreds of experimental music ahead of their time that older generations wouldn't give the time of day.
      P.S the early Beetles work sucked until their Japanese tour when they realized they actually had to practice and hone their craft, then they were great.

    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.

    The mid 80s, a golden golden era. If you know, you know…..you can’t explain it

    Reminds me of the days after school in the late 80s when we would go and choose a movie from the video library around the corner. They used to play a lot of Level 42 in the background there.

    One of the very best, most peculiarly British bands ever.

      Hi, I´m from 1962, and met my wife in 1986, pure nostalgia and good memories with this song.

    The essence of the 80s is this song and those synthesized choruses and arrangements.

    Transports me back to my teenage years and all the people i remember at the time . Memories of mates and girlfriends that you lost touch with . Long summer days and everything was carefree and easier . Take me back
