    I was at a lecture/presentation on Steve Winwood's work by a musicologist which was very good and during the Q & A a supposed expert in the audience referred sarcastically to the 80's as Winwood's "lounge singer" period. Forget the weird video and the stuffy clothes, the songs he wrote in the 80's were incredible - so good!. True they were a little more "pop hits" style than the classic improvisational Traffic work of the 60's and 70's - but you can be sure that all the elite talents from the 60's and 70's would have killed to be able to write and perform music as successful as Winwood did in the 80's. There's nothing wrong with commercial success, man! There are trashy, throwaway pop hits and there are classic pop hits and he turned out one great pop song after another in the 80's. Give him a ton of credit for his versatility and genius.

      Amen to this all!
      From what I remember Steve Winwood was all but wrapped up at this point. By his own admission he was going out with this album-all or nothing. He did all the instruments. Write, composed everything on Arc. The things kids held Kenny Kravitz or Prince up for being a genius 10 years later Here Steve Winwood shared stages and studios with legends and pioneered a lot of this type of music.
      You watch, Stranger Things will get to this song and it'll be the next Running Up That Hill that turns a whole new generation on to this Genius.
      Great memories of this song.

Given the high social tensions that affect many if not most countries these days, the 1980's seem like Paradise in retrospect; oh and pop/rock was MUCH BETTER back then as well, and my guess is that if you don't share or can't relate to that general feeling, you hadn't been born yet in the 1980's.

    I was in between jobs, broke, sent out countless resumes, had just left a bar, fired up a cigarette (was 1998), and this song came on the radio. Cranked it UP! Was such a POSITIVE shot in the arm. Really put the wind in my sails. Funny I remember all these years later....

    June 1981. I brought this record during a weekend at the seaside with friends.We never stopped listening to this incredible song. Two days after , I had my written exams for my two degrees, in Law and Political sciences. It went well but , coming back to my parents' home after the session , I had a very serious car accident which left me with my two legs broken. I thought afterwards that I was lucky because I was a survivor ! I spent 3 weeks in a wheelchair and , thereafter, one month and a half with a plaster on the left leg. I spent all summer long in re-education and working the .... 12 topics I had to take for my oral exams, end of September. And I made it ! Guess what ? When I was lacking energy , I was listening to this fabulous song . I was then telling to myself : " Man , while you see a chance take it !". Thanks Stevie, you will always stay in my heart !

      If you were born much earlier you would have started with Spencer Davis Group and Yardbirds then gone on to Traffic and Cream and might have avoided the Heavy Metal phase. Traffic knew how to play the silent pause as well as blast the amps at the same time. The later Heavy Metal bands were lost on this sophistication and simply filled the air with noise.
