Ahead of its time? No. The problem is that the music we have now is so poor in comparison that the 80's and 90's tune sound so good. Don't get me wrong. Those decades were bloody awesome. Once the 2000s hit it was game over.

Always a punk and heavy metal fan but you can't help but love this timeless classic , reminds me so much so of clubbing in Nottingham in my more youthful days during the 80's and 90's
Sometimes it all comes together, the sound, the vibe, a new generation, the summer of love ‘89, the house rave scene kicking off, this is one of the anthems of that era, more than a great track, timeless
I was LUCKY enough to be part of this movement in the late 80s and play this track on some HUGE sound systems as a Toronto dj for great crowds back then.
@Tony Jaksn You're welcome...I was only three or four when it was released but I still remember it well... Used to be played at primary school discos...
Artists back then were way more in touch with their child-like self. They were playful / experimental / and radiated huge amounts of raw energy. Why do I keep coming back to this song? Simple... it's provides me with the nutrients I need to live my best life. UA-cam's algorithms also seem to be getting better at recognizing my musical taste... I guess it is a good life after all!
Yeah it has been proven today (2024) that in youth a midlife crisis is early triggered due to ‘the like button’ and ‘infinite doomscrolling’. If you would hear this end 80s begin 90s you would think humanity got backwards retarded.
Still a banger even now , considering it was released in 1988 and I've lost count of how many times I've danced to this back in the days of early rave 🔥👌🏻
I remember working away in London, in a building near St Pauls Cathedral, (fitting carpets) One Saturday afternoon me and the guy I was with went for a walk to a near by sandwich bar and saw a load of filming going on half way up a flight of stairs that ran at the side of the building, we stood and watched for a while then carried on our way, didn't think much of it. Then about a month later I saw this on tv, and realised it had been part of the video we stood and watched being made.
Hahaha! Small world! Guys...here we have an actually witness of the event back then! Ain't technology wonderful! Thanks mate for sharing this with us! Many regards from a guy in Greece, who grow up as a teenager, in the '80s, and was lucky enough to be "nourished" by these awesome melodies! Listening now, from the mouths of the actual witnesses, these kind of things, makes it even more thrilling! Cheers mate!
@@theonemesis5217 No, technology is NOT wonderful. It had given birth to the death of music as we know it. It has allowed all sorts of pond life that in a normal world wouldn't be allowed 500 miles anywhere NEAR a studio to splurge an unending stream of excrement in the name of art, entertainment and being 'themselves'! Every lousy cloud of acid rain has NO silver lining-unless its lead poisoning.
This was when House was starting be the phenomenon that still going 30 years later. Fucking incredible tune. Best time to be a teenager aside from the 60s. 🙏👍🙌👏😁
So it's Tuesday, it's 6pm I'm 50yrs old driving my daughter to football practice in Kilkenny Ireland. This comes on the radio and in an instant I'm 16, brand new to life, about to leave school (1989) and discover working and clubbing. Not had my first love/heartbreak, kiss, BJ or f**k yet I smile and feel a bit jealous of that young lad as he is going to have a GOOD time, a Good life indeed !!
Todays people dont have idea, how groundbreaking this song was for its time, DJ Kevin Saunderson and vocalist Paris Grey. opened the door for the 90s dance
I have so much love for the late 80s and early 90s. vibrant, great dance, hip hop, indie etc. happier, more innocent times. songs like this really conjure up those memories
This takes me back to a time, place and age I'd much rather be at right now. In my old bedroom with my C64 and my stereo with the twin cassette deck and high-speed dubbing, and a stack of cassettes full of songs taped off the radio ... Plus the Snooker table my mum brought me. I'd swap everything you can legally do as an adult to be a kid again.
To do it all again hey!!!!! Please don’t make me cry!!! A wrap of phet, lump of solid, weekend ahead of me, pint in my hand, world at my feet and chatting to the ladies. Wow!!!! They were the days. I don’t think though I could cope to do it all again. I struggled the first time around. Bless you and may you find yr peace. Much love and respect. ❤️❤️❤️
I taught my daughter's to dance to this when they were young teenagers, now here I am 62 and still the song gives me goosebumps,it's a feel good factor song.
I was about 13 when this came out…I remember listening to this on the radio whilst getting ready for school…46 now and I appreciate the song even more so now on a whole different level! Love it! 👍🏽🙏🏽💪🏽🙌🏽😁🥰x
The shell-suits that can be seen worn by an on-looker has thankfully not reappeared in fashion .... yet!! Yes.... I proudly owned and wore one back then!
Simply love the late 80s optimism of this track. We started the 1980s with 'Ghost Town' and ended it with 'Good Life' could any two songs sum up a decade of two halves so perfectly?
Ah yes, the glory days of 1989, when dance music crossed over to the pop charts in the UK, and three of the number ones that year were mixes of oldies from the fifties and sixties by Jive Bunny.
I just graduated high school and I rediscovered this song that was first played to me by my late mother as a child. THIS IS FOR YOU MAMA!!! I’m livin the Good Life!!! ❤❤
The golden age of dance tracks for me began to evolve in ‘87, advanced through ‘88 and peaked in ‘89. The early ‘90s generally became too fast and soulless. Being 22/23 in the late ‘80s was pretty fine and I’m still here to remember it all. Good.
Absolutely 💯 Mark. I fully concur. I'm not a House / Dance head, but this is truly marvellous club classic, beats the shit out of anything that passes as music today. I'd say this tune is 6 years ahead of it's time. Sounds like a 1993 tune. Full kudos to Inner City.
Same here - Club birthed in '85 ( London Hip / Roof Gardens / Heaven / Bromptons / Spats / Stallions and so on ) and danced through non stop till somewhere in 92. Had legs like steel...now like jelly. Found sooo many old tracks here - YT is a flippin time machine.
@@maxthelab8457 Proof Max, if ever needed, back in the Top 40 during the 80's, you had to sell up to 8,000 records to get into the Top 40, today, to get into the equivalent, only need to sell around 3,000!!! Says it all! Standard and quality is crap today, no wonder chart / mainstream music is gone to shit.
When we listen to this track it is as if we could really feel what millions have felt dancing on this, their hope, their new love, their desire, their sorrow, their loss, their memories
1988 - this song is awesome!
2024 - this song is awesome!
Yes 😢
Great music never dates.
Fully agree with you
👏🏻👏🏻
yes, yes!
Wish I could go back to these days.. We had it good. ❤
Compared to now we have it good yeh. It was still bad back then though.
This was peak house music - late 80s. Inner City were up there among the best of them
Bizony és ez volt az ami az USA afro négereihez a legjobban illő stílus volt!!
1988 - this song is awesome!
2020 - this song is awesome!
But only the Original
I don't get tired of listening to her 2020
Alex Correia has it been that long??😭😭.. where did the time go?.. remember dancing to this!💕
80s house
Why have we got to get old? Not fair
Anyone feel like we've gone backwards. This reminds me of better days!
Agreed, modern day life is shit
I still enjoy the new school shit though especially tech house.
I feel like we have progressed in society🤷♂️
Yep,big time.This song wouldn't be made now,wouldn't be allowed by Corporate.Its all singer/songwriter or bland R n B crap.Total control of music by the big boys.Bland nonsense.We were lucky in the 80's to have music like this.Inner City were like a breath of fresh air,that Detroit sound,fantastic.
You mean that music today is either some singer/songwriter or R n B bland nonsense?Yep,gone backwards.
A fantastic song that doesn't simply age. Inner City were definitely ahead of the times!
sono d'accordo gran basso,e senza autotune,inner city non ne aveva bisogno grande voce
I'm 52 now, but I still love it until today, and will ever love INNER CITY, the good old 1990ies, greetings from Switzerland ;-)
49 years old and I totally agree still great in 2024❤
Inner City rock's 🙂 cheers from Australia
If this track was re-released, I think it would be a hit ... as it is timeless.
mo p
Most definitely, music like this hardly exists these days.....like most people say on here “where’s the time machine”
Compared to today's shite this is timeless
u said it
Not sure of dates, but it was released as a remix in the 90s and it wasn't as good as this version.
They did a remaster in 2017
We had no idea how lucky we were, but we know it now.
i know..i feel so old but those were the best days
Still fantastic 2022, 55 this year, 21 when it came out and going to change the world.
Still feel I can when I listen to this gem.
👍
I'm more a Ride On Time / Gonna Make You Sweat / Real McCoy / Pump Up The Jam / Groove Is In The Heart / Rhythm Is A Dancer kind of old.

Haha love it manc United much love tony Liverpool ( utfts)
50yrs old an still loving it....
Thanks Inner City.This is the best house song in history for me
for me it was the best techno song.
Every time I hear this song, I feel a knot in my stomach. That wonderful 1988-89
This track feels great still today
The production and mixing of this song is absolutely amazing, ahead of time!
True, huge influence on later dance music of the 90s and 2000s
Kevin Saunderson in his prime.
Waaaay ahead of his time. Genius.

Yes, really a timeless and incredible house classic
32 years ago music was alive, and it was so much fun.
Damn right 😜🎉🎉
At that time I was 24 and my then girlfriend 21, this was 'our' song.
It was indeed Big Fun (1989).
One of the greatest 80's bands together with Soul to Soul, SOS Band etc
