    Ricky said on an interview that he failed as an 80's pop star. Little did he know that this song was considered as an anthem during the 80's here in the Philippines. Too young to have lived it but got to know this song from my parents. They always played this when I was a kid and got to hear it a few times from the radio. Good times :)

      @@lazyadobo5125 I hear you, and I can confirm that as an American listener who's a longtime Filipino music fan, learning about non-Filipino songs that achieved massive popularity only in the Philippines. The story goes that your radio stations were allowed greater freedom in terms of what to play. As a result, you were able to generate what's known as Philippine-only radio hits through the years. Often, a lot of these were album tracks or b-sides from current bands at the time, or sometimes, singles from either emerging bands or those that have recently disbanded (Seona Dancing broke up in '84, while "More To Lose" became a hit in '86.) In both instances, their popularity there is most likely completely unbeknownst to them, save for several acts who've performed there and rightfully embrace their popularity. But the thing to keep in mind is that "More To Lose" is actually just one of these songs generated by this phenomenon, and there's actually way too many to name, lol!
      Other examples of Philippine-only radio hits include: "Passenger Seat" by Stephen Speaks, "As Long As It Matters" by Gin Blossoms, "You" by The Carpenters, "Inspector Mills" by America, and "Deep" by Binocular. You can read more about it here:

      Eh... he's not a great actor... there's a reason he only makes a few hours of content every five years or so. He always basically plays himself, and he's always breaking, each scene takes so much longer because of him.

      Back in the 80's, there was a one particular radio station in Manila, Philippines that would play this song. New Wave was pretty popular back then and in order to make sure no other radio station would play this song..they titled it "Fade" so they'd never be able to get it. There was no Shazam back then and internet was way in its infancy. Ask anyone there about New Wave and if you say More to Lose..they'd know the song in instant.

    Oh, he was soooooooo cute!!! I love his voice! I love this song and the other one that I just heard through my son who was not alive in the 80s but loves 80s music! I am only happy that he went into comedy when the music thing didn't pan out as he wanted. I wished it had because I loved both songs and his voice is really good, but alas, we got to have him as a great comic and writer/producer. Afterlife is a great show that I highly recommend everyone watch! Hilarious and touching at the same time.

    We used to cry
    About the day when one of us might fall
    Weak and blindly into another's arms
    Demands are gained from jealousies
    Would flow like water drowning us
    But leaving us with just another
    Lover's false alarm
    And now it's over
    Both of us free
    But I feel colder
    A thousand tortured lives have fallen
    Wounded dying cut down by the
    Questions that we've sharpened
    Just to save our losing days
    We thought we'd nothing more to lose
    We'd tear our hearts with jagged truths
    And everything we'd hung to for so long
    Just slipped away
    And now it's over
    Both of us free
    And I feel colder
    I was tired of thinking that
    Our love can shine your thoughts
    Of our arrangements
    Were really not like mine
    I thought it over
    And it was plain to see the love you said
    You once needed
    Could just not come from me
    And now it's over
    Both of us free
    And I feel colder
    And now we're moving to new beginnings
    But as we move we looked once behind
    To see what we might find out
    Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings
    That lunge, tear and grasp
    At lost wanting minds
