    Awesome, thanks for this video and all the Videos of Reactions, especially Level 42. Also congrats on the format.
    I am 35, a bassist and a fellow countryman of the band.
    I've spent the last couple of years studying and learning their music, and the more I've heard, the more I've enjoyed. I hope Mark and Mike get a chance to check out your videos, I think they would be flattered. Please keep posting , Cheers

    Absolutely brilliant ! what a song. Your reactions convey the deep enjoyment & appreciation that I feel too for this song & many other Level 42 songs. An era of music that brings great pleasure & feel good sounds that stand the test of time & Tower over its competition of whatever generation.

      What a great comment! So precise in expressing the feelings Level 42's music can elicit from its supporters/fans.
      Thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts.

    Hi Brother. This is one of my All-Time Favourite Level 42 songs…. and…. wait for it.....also that of my 17-year-old son... (I'm 53). Yes, I played the albums of my youth, and the boy's love for the Band was instant… #ProudDad. Greetings from Durban, South Africa.

    I absolutely love Leaving Me Now...this is my 4th favourite L42 song. I love the final part of the song and that piano melody as the music fades away. Perfect

    Always loved a few of their songs, but hadn't listened to most of their work, now that you have highlighted how great their musicianship is, the arrangements and vocals, across all their songs, it's a new awakening. Great video.

    Listening to this song, a new favorite, wondering where our Mr. R³ is... I may forget the Alt-179 keyboard combination if we don't see him again soon... seriously, hoping you are okay!

      I just laughed reading your comment about the Alt-179!! I'm so touched to read your comment. I'm getting resettled here in the Philippines and will be uploading again soon. Hope to see you on an upcoming livestream. More importantly, I hope you are doing well. See you soon!

    Its nice to see someone love leaving me now as much as I do i heard it first in October 1990 and loved it ever since I've tried to listen to every level 42 version and I've heard a few over the years

    Gorgeous tune. There's really no good reason why it's not in my L42 Top 30, but so it goes. Love the story about your choreography.
    Anyone looking to stream/download this track should avoid the inferior 7" version, which has weird processing of every other snare hit and omits Mike's beautiful piano coda.

    • @acidmack1041
      @acidmack1041 2 роки тому

      Agree...the 7ich version cuts out the best part of the track. Although i read somewhere that the piano at the end is Wally, not Mike

      @@acidmack1041 If that's true about the piano, wow! I'm not even going to find out about, I'll just live with considering it.
