Its a good song. Sorry to hear about that about your brother. I have a brother that I was very close with growing up but now he lives in another sate and we don't talk much.....Cant imagine if he died.
This song came out 2 years before I met my future wife. I have always and absolutely loved this song since day 1. Here it is now,after 30 years of marriage with my wife,the lyrics to this song have more meaning than ever before. Didn’t know it back then…but I sure know now. Happy 30 years my Love! Let’s keep it going!
"Mistakes are a part of lifes imperfections." My favorite verse in this song, It never gets old listening to this song. Such great memories I have of this song. Thank you level 42! -Steph
"Something About You", as sung by Level 42 in 1985, stands as a masterpiece that effortlessly intertwines exquisite music, poetic lyrics, and mesmerizing vocals into a harmonious symphony that continues to bewitch listeners today. The song's magnetic allure lies within its infectious melodies, which blend the sweetest strains of pop and funk, casting a spell on our hearts from the very first note. As the rhythm takes hold, it compels our bodies to sway in unison, surrendering to the undeniable charm that emanates from this timeless composition. Within the depths of "Something About You" lies a lyrical tapestry that unveils a tale of transcendent love. The words gracefully dance through the air, entwined with the singers' heartfelt delivery, creating an ethereal connection to our very souls. It tugs at our heartstrings, evoking a symphony of emotions - yearning, passion, and an undeniable sense of connection. The vocals, gentle and tender, caress our senses, while the harmonious blend of voices elevates this piece to a state of sheer musical perfection. As the decades pass, "Something About You" remains an eternal testament to the power of music to touch our souls and ignite a flame within that will never burn out.
I'm 15, and I just bought the 45 of this song at the mall, and I'm playing it over and over in my room. I'm 51, and I hear this come over the grocery store's muzak system. I'm rushing home to play this over and over on UA-cam. It never gets old.
I Love this song right here. Philippians 4:8 Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise, dwell on these things.
Is it so wrong....try singing this. It's right in my range, the voice arrangement on this is fantastic. I can't believe I'm still jamming this. I'm glad I am
I was 25 when this came out... i wanted a sign that my mom was with me and this came on the radio... i played this all the time and she wondered if I knew any other songs, I forgot about this song, so thanks mom for bringing a memory back and to remind me it's okay to human and make mistakes!
This song never fails to raise the hair on the back of my neck as it dives into that chorus. And that guitar break is one the great minutes of crazed romantic guitar anarchy of the last 30+ years.
Thank you for providing the lyrics! I have always loved this song - it lifts my spirits. But I was never sure of the words. Now I know and it adds meaning to my life. Cliché, I know. But true! 🥰
threre are many great songs... this is a song of love. the spirit feeds on the sincere yearnings and experiences of the soul. Truly moving and timeless.
So here is what I personally take from the beautiful lyrics in simple language. I think the song has a very good message: When we met I felt it was fate. Our romantic relationship was so loving. I was shocked that over the years we sometimes couldn't stop ourselves from manipulating and hurting each other. We naturally forgave each other because real love doesn't work like a romance novel. Real love is hard work. You are still the one for me baby. If for some reason we couldn't be together, no one could claim that we didn't experience the full range of emotions people feel in romantic relationships. Of course, our love has evolved from a dreamlike romance into one that emphasizes loyalty and commitment, which is natural after years of being together. Still, I know you are the one for me. I still wouldn't want to spend my nights with anyone else but you. Period.
Best friend and I a month ago went to the bar his brother works at. Were 38 years old and were the oldest in there. There was about 70 people in there and 60 of those were under 25. The DJ kept playing rap. When I requested classic rock he said he had 1 song Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" It came on and the place went crazy hollering and clapping. They all knew the lyrics by heart and sang along with it so loud it was louder than the DJ's sound system. Needless to say I was in complete shock.
My first real love, so bad it hurt hahaha! ' 85 I was a mere 23....no idea what I was doing....The One That Got Away.... that's ok, still great memories...managed to find some more good ones ;) and I'm still jamming this nearly 40 years later
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh 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 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 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 ( About the way you are... so right ) Baby so right I couldn't live without you ( I couldn't be without you here... tonight ) Baby tonight Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh And there is something about you, yeah and I couldn't live without you Tonight
I always love looking for songs i haven't heard in years and it's there you just have to hope the radio stations still have every song you can think of and can play it
I remember when this was released in the mid 80s and it has been my fav 80s love song since then! The lyrics are 🔥 fire!!! They don’t make songs like this anymore In my opinion! Solid gold here!!!! ❤️😎🤘
The lyrics are so genius. They make you go into deep thought. There's a reason this song is still popular. This band so unique and this song is just one of their greats. This is on my playlist and its one of my "getting ready to go out songs". How can you not love it? Love Level 42!!!
Angela Smith I agree completely. I don't think they ever will eather. It's really sad because you and I know that this is real music and kids need to listen to something besides that crap they play today.
Im here because I'm part of the one and only great Generation X, born in the 70s.... and this song brings back a lot of GREAT times and memories in the 80s when there was still real music, when life was more fun and simple...lots of love and life wasn't so political...song has a lot of meaning.
this song is so timeless. It's as though it was just released. does not sound like an 80s song. im a late 90s kid and this song surprisingly is an 80s song. Wow!
This song is my testimony to love gained and lost but never forgotten, and the memories of my experiences while stationed in Germany it was released, the year before I left after being there since late 1979, so I too thank you Ms. Jane for a beautiful journey in my mind and heart!
I love this song and this from someone who grew up on early Brit rock .. like the song "There's something about this song" that makes me listen to it over and over again ... it's heartbreaking because love doesn't last forever but it's hard to let go of those you've loved as well .. we're only human after all
I totally agree with you, I really feel bad for the kids of today and what they have to look forward to as they reminisce (just as we're doing now) about their music as youths. There is yet some good news in this, some of our youth of today is listening to 80's & 90's music and liking it BETTER than today's crap. So hopefully, long live 80's & 90's music!! Nostalgia is a powerful weapon..lol.
Music lover from way back & hearing this song in a truck stop in Georgetown, Ky. I stopped walking, closed my eyes & swayed to the tune, proceeded back to my truck & downloaded it putting on a loop listening to it all the way to northern Ohio back to Memphis. Here I am again.
David Harris I was also born in 76. This song right here is my favorite. Even my children know that lol . they're at a restaurant, here this song and call me to tell me "hey mom ur song is on"
Thank you su much for sharing that beautiful song, it take me many years before, when i was about 23 years old, now i m 48 and still listeting as i did for a first Time on the radio, tha program was calles "catch the words" on a morrocan radio called RTM, let me tell u that program helped me a lot to learn english a discover that song. Thank you one More Time for sharing.
I never get tired of hearing this song. It's just the most perfect song. The lyrics, the music, the vocals, everything is so right. There's just something about it..😉
Absolutely right!
I see what you did there with the last sentence of your comment you sly devil you 😉
Agreed
I listened to this more than 20 times a day
West End Girls by PSB hits me nearly the same for some reason. I like the tempo on this better, though, and there's the element of truth, as well.
God .... What a great time !...
Great song !
I'm so glad I lived in the 80s .
When America was without cell phones ... it was
Great !
Kids today , and tomorrow will never understand or have that again .
This was my brothers favorite song..he passed away in 1993, and today is his birthday..so happy 48th bday bro..love u so much, and miss your beautiful smile...your little bro, Scott
Sorry to hear about your bro dude....
Funkmentality thanks man :)
A. Scott Boddie I'm so sorry this is my favorite song to I listen to it all the time it doesn't matter how old or new the song is if it's a good song that's all that matters God bless you and your whole family and especially your brother I'm so sorry love Kimberly Kuda
So sorry 😐 for your loss !! It was my boyfriends favorite song also and he passed away May 24 this year.
Its a good song. Sorry to hear about that about your brother. I have a brother that I was very close with growing up but now he lives in another sate and we don't talk much.....Cant imagine if he died.

Who's listening in 2024?....Love this song. Never tire of it.
Still here, brings back too much.
👋 💃🕺🏻
I was listening to this song in 1957😊
Meeeee !!!!!
HERE!! 🎵🎶
I was a young twenty when this was released. I love the 80s and wish this lost generation could experience this decade.
Straight up. In my opinion the best love song written in our era.
An underrated song if ever there was one. Deep, vast and succinct. We're only human after all.
Word
Truth
It really is off the scale!!
The 80s turned out some of the best music ever
& let's not forget everythng that followed Post 90s is no longer fit to be in the category of 'Music'.
Just plain trash filled violence, lost & hate.
Great song
The best
indeed it did!!
No
I came up during this Era . Who ever put that together , put quite a bit of thought , and effort into it ✌️ .
This song is a classic . Never gets old. Awesome every time!
This song still gives me goosebumps. Just beautiful.
I agree
Me too

❤
Beautifully written and well put.
woke up randomly at 2am and had this song in my mind...its one of those types of songs
I'm 15, and I just bought the 45 of this song at the mall, and I'm playing it over and over in my room.
I'm 51, and I hear this come over the grocery store's muzak system. I'm rushing home to play this over and over on UA-cam.
It never gets old.
Absolute classic. Reminds me of Sunday bath night with Top 40 playing in the early 80's. And it still
f🤬king rocks!!!🤘🏽
Just heard this in the supermarket and I had to go ahead and punch it up ! Thanks for the memories
I Love this song right here.
Philippians 4:8
Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise, dwell on these things.
I could put this on repeat and never get tired of it. This is mine and my best friends song.
I don't tell anyone but mine too
Now have sex with the homies 😏
This is one of the songs that defined the 80's. Hearing it again brings back memories. Good times.
Is it so wrong....try singing this. It's right in my range, the voice arrangement on this is fantastic. I can't believe I'm still jamming this. I'm glad I am
something about this song is so uplifting...the beat the rhythm the way it sounds in your mind
I was 25 when this came out... i wanted a sign that my mom was with me and this came on the radio... i played this all the time and she wondered if I knew any other songs, I forgot about this song, so thanks mom for bringing a memory back and to remind me it's okay to human and make mistakes!
This song truly is a masterpiece.
How....how can it be that something about this song is so beautiful and sad at the same time??
I am a HUGE 80s music fan and I am not shamed to admit it! This song along with "Lessons In Love" are great songs!
lvl 42 NOTHING BUT THE BEST
This song never fails to raise the hair on the back of my neck as it dives into that chorus. And that guitar break is one the great minutes of crazed romantic guitar anarchy of the last 30+ years.
One of the greatest songs ever💯💯💯
I was only 6 and I remember this song
The chorus really hits hard in this song. In my opinion, the chorus (should) be the climax to every song while the verses are the build-ups.
This is just a great song.
Is it so wrong. To be human after all
Thank you for providing the lyrics! I have always loved this song - it lifts my spirits. But I was never sure of the words. Now I know and it adds meaning to my life. Cliché, I know. But true! 🥰
totally forgot about this song!!! and never realized how sweet the lyrics were!!!!
This song takes me back to my youth.... Those were really the wonder years❤️
The 80s songs will live on forever because they sing to our hearts! Thanks!!!!!!!
threre are many great songs... this is a song of love. the spirit feeds on the sincere yearnings and experiences of the soul. Truly moving and timeless.
So here is what I personally take from the beautiful lyrics in simple language. I think the song has a very good message:
When we met I felt it was fate. Our romantic relationship was so loving. I was shocked that over the years we sometimes couldn't stop ourselves from manipulating and hurting each other. We naturally forgave each other because real love doesn't work like a romance novel. Real love is hard work. You are still the one for me baby.

Of course, our love has evolved from a dreamlike romance into one that emphasizes loyalty and commitment, which is natural after years of being together. Still, I know you are the one for me. I still wouldn't want to spend my nights with anyone else but you. Period.
A perfect example of how incredible the music of the 80's was and will remain so always. Level 42 Rocks!

Ah... to be 16 again. God I miss the 80's!
Me 2.
sirtalis69 Hear, hear.
How are you doing today guys
Nintendo.....Vcrs....Garbage Pail Kids stickers with the rock hard bubblegum stick and changing channels with a pair of pliers ahhh the good ol' days
@@jran4095 I would gladly trade in all the technology today to go back if I could.
My first real love, so bad it hurt hahaha! ' 85 I was a mere 23....no idea what I was doing....The One That Got Away.... that's ok, still great memories...managed to find some more good ones ;) and I'm still jamming this nearly 40 years later
Intelligent lyrics and the great Mark King on vocals and bass!
Timeless classic. Top 100 all time, all genres included.
Even country?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
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
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
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
( About the way you are... so right )
Baby so right
I couldn't live without you
( I couldn't be without you here... tonight )
Baby tonight
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
And there is something about you, yeah
and I couldn't live without you
Tonight
Tivroc Saig awesomeness
Thank you so much, you writers are underappreciated.😁💯👍👊
Goat!
Thank you 💢
Long Live the 80's!
I AGREE
The backing vocals are just perfect on this track I love this song it is just awesome.
Great song. Brings me right back to my teenage years in the 80s.
I agree with u on that one. I listen to this all the time
How are you guys doing today
My mom and dad were born in the 80s and they introduced me to the music because i was born 2001 January 16
I. Love these sing
Does this not say what being in love... Is all about? Surely, the best yet! (don't call me Shirley.... 🤪!!!) Magic!! Great song-writing!!!
This song can make anyone fall in love
Dat guitar solo tho. People think I'm nuts when I say this is my favorite song, but I don't care.
It is a really good solo.
They're nuts.. it's my favorite song on earth
The best
Loved it just takes you nack
This guitar solo always reminded me of the solo in the song just the same way by Journey, the greatest band on the planet.
So many memories.. love it..
The good old days when we watched videos on MTV!!!!!!
🤗🤗🤗
I always love looking for songs i haven't heard in years and it's there you just have to hope the radio stations still have every song you can think of and can play it
Mark King: A good singer, but easily one of the BEST bass players alive! Facts!
🐰
I remember when this was released in the mid 80s and it has been my fav 80s love song since then! The lyrics are 🔥 fire!!! They don’t make songs like this anymore In my opinion! Solid
gold here!!!! ❤️😎🤘
I wanna go back to the 80's. Take me back.
Me too! Only now I'm old enough to appreciate the decade 💕
I’d love to live it again too ❤
The most perfect song, lyrics, the beat, rhythm and resembles to me personally. I never get tired of it. Music that will never age 🎉😊
So uniquely done, and so unlike anything else they did...An absolute stunner...
The lyrics are so genius. They make you go into deep thought. There's a reason this song is still popular. This band so unique and this song is just one of their greats. This is on my playlist and its one of my "getting ready to go out songs". How can you not love it? Love Level 42!!!
1985 what a year ..mission bay high school. San Diego, California
LOVE THIS SONG! IT'S BEEN IN MY HEAD FOR WEEKS!! BEAUTIFUL WORDS. Dedicated it to my girlfriend.
Finally found it after decades of hearing it being played in stores and gyms. I thought for so long I would never find it. mission accomplished.
Awe... My husband sent me this song this morning! We're married "36" years today. I love him so very much. We are each others ride&die❤
They sure don't make music like this anymore!! ^_^
Hi
The golden years I grow up with this music. The 80th
Check out the Ting Tings! (Well, a few years ago, but great "New New Wave!")
Angela Smith I agree completely. I don't think they ever will eather. It's really sad because you and I know that this is real music and kids need to listen to something besides that crap they play today.
they do to: ua-cam.com/video/smRthKUTeG8/v-deo.html
It says everything,but no one hears.the eternal flame of love ,still burns.
That base guitar is something else, wicked song, love listening to them x
Im here because I'm part of the one and only great Generation X, born in the 70s.... and this song brings back a lot of GREAT times and memories in the 80s when there was still real music, when life was more fun and simple...lots of love and life wasn't so political...song has a lot of meaning.
This song is so perfect. I can listen to this over and over all day. Thank you level 42 for your amazing music.
this song is so timeless. It's as though it was just released. does not sound like an 80s song. im a late 90s kid and this song surprisingly is an 80s song. Wow!
This song is my testimony to love gained and lost but never forgotten, and the memories of my experiences while stationed in Germany it was released, the year before I left after being there since late 1979, so I too thank you Ms. Jane for a beautiful journey in my mind and heart!
Audie Heard What a great memory. From one service member to another, thank you for your service.
I can relate brother. This came out just after I arrived in Berlin Brigade in 1985. Some of my life’s best memories and lost loves.
Wow you just kicked my ass.
Certain things can not ever be taken away. From you. Because it's ours and no one else's.
So sorry for your loss of your big brother.May GOD give you comfort in your grief.This is my all- time favorite song of the 80's decade!!!!
I love this song and this from someone who grew up on early Brit rock .. like the song "There's something about this song" that makes me listen to it over and over again ... it's heartbreaking because love doesn't last forever but it's hard to let go of those you've loved as well .. we're only human after all
Aug 2021 and still listening. The 80s in me will never die. Best decade ever for so, so many reasons. Music like this is just one of them.
Word
I totally agree with you, I really feel bad for the kids of today and what they have to look forward to as they reminisce (just as we're doing now) about their music as youths. There is yet some good news in this, some of our youth of today is listening to 80's & 90's music and liking it BETTER than today's crap. So hopefully, long live 80's & 90's music!! Nostalgia is a powerful weapon..lol.
Man! A kids these days comment combined with a minion icon! That's gotta be a new record on the level of sadness!
I can't believe myself, that I'm still listening to this ...and getting all teary eyed and shit. 🤣
who is here today 80s kid here 👍
🎉
Wow !!!! Excellent, pure sensation of 80's
One of the all time best songs….give me back the 80s……please.
Brilliant song, fabulous rhythm, great lyrics, all-time classic.
Decades listening to this immortal classic.
Classic mid-80's pop, well written, composed, sung and produced. Just great ear candy. Happy to hear it again.
These years music was so pure and clean ! Could listen over and over again 👍🏾
Why can't pop music be like this anymore?
Great tune!! Another 80$ classic

Perfect song. Great lyrics by Phil Gould. A celebration of being in love.
