    The 80's were a magical time... Especially to be a kid... The music really took on a specific sound that just embodies the decade so well... I miss it. If we only knew what was coming... Ugh

      Ohhhh, Jason. I couldn't agree with your comment more. The words just aren't there to describe the magnificence of the 1980s. Especially the music, the movies, even TV, it was just absolutely magical. And as you said, we had no idea. We just didn't know the gift we have been given as kids, that childhood was sooooo good.

      Hoy a mis 52 años y en este momento que leo tu comentario, me hiciste recordar mi niñez y pre-adolescencia , ¡¡ magia bro, sueños !!, les deseo a todos una Feliz Navidad y un año 2024 lleno de salud, amor, y bondad !!.😊

    Back in the 80s-This was mine and my boyfriend's song. Then, we got engaged. And it was still OUR song. We were so cool and at the time, it was a cool song. For years, we were like, "Yeah, our song is/was The Promise." Then, we got married, and we still proudly proclaimed The Promise as our song. And everyone was always like, "Awwww, how cuuuute!!" And then, Napoleon Dynamite. Thanks, Napoleon. You killed a great thing.
