When "Perfect Way" was a current hit, I bought the album (the cassette, actually) just for the radio hit and found that this was equal to or better than "Perfect Way". That doesn't happen too often.
the whole album is tremendous, i wouldn't say that any one song is better than the others... I'd be honored if some Scritti Politti fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN by the Dream Academy and MARY'S PRAYER by Danny Wilson on my channel in tribute to under-the-radar mid-80s classics. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Here is this for people who enjoy singing along. Like me. Now I know to love you Is not to know you Oh I got too near to you Oh, in the court of contempt I have to tell you One thing I'm certain I've been overtaken, girl Oh, by the need to be loved We don't have forever To find a reason How I lost the will to love you Out in the way of the world Maybe I could see you When this is over Maybe when our hearts are healed Oh what a day to behold There'll be a day, lovers away (You can) call me and mend a broken heart There'll be a time long after mine (He will) call you and mend a broken heart Not a lot to say now Except I miss you Not a lot to take your place Oh, in the heart of the boy Ooh a little knowledge Is so exciting You became a part of me Oh, and the world that we knew I guess it's a sickness That keeps me wanting Ate away the heart of me (heart of me) Oh, and the heart that I loved Still beyond believing In love forever Quite the brightest star, girl Oh, in the reason of sleep There'll be a day, lovers away (You can) call me and mend a broken heart There'll be a time long after mine (He will) call you and mend a broken heart Listen to her say Got a little radio Held to my body I can feel your back beat boy Moving a muscle of love Turn it up and press it I don't understand it I can feel your message boy Calling me over and out Here's a verse for nothing An introduction To the way the world will be Now we're apart and alone Mustn't be unhappy When you remember Lovers never lose each other Oh, such a lot to be learned
All their Songs are really SO NICE,SO AWSOME and like anybody,i don't understand why a GREAT BAND as SCRITTI POLITTI don't have no more views on the UA-cam COUNTER. It's completely crazy and incomprehensible ???
I remember when I first heard this at my best friend's house. The production is flawless, the opening bass guitar and that falsetto were on point 30 years ago!! a Classic!
it' s always a GREAT and BIGGER PLEASURE to listen to this SWEET and FANTASTIC WONDER ,each time ,SCRITTI POLITTI is for sure ONE OF GREATEST ROMANTIC BAND in this area...
Beautiful song ... the timing, the keyboards, etc. I have a crazy theory that Michael Jackson's works might have sounded something like this if the corporate Muzik Biz hadn't gotten a hold of him.
Suburban Dictionary Author hey I’m here after listening to some unreleased track trying to find the female singer for this cause it sounds like her on the mj tracks night line
Michael and the JACKSONS FIVE have influenced a lot of musicians and musical currents, all the specialists know it, it is not a secret for anyone even if one does not speak about it much in the world of music.
Get in line :))) I think it is the absolute sublime lyrics of Green matched with the more or less "call and response" vocal duo of Green and BJ... the song is beyond perfection. I listen to this almost daily.
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE and so terribly touting, the VOICES are amazingly accurate and quality. When I hear everything that happens on the airwaves today, I'm sorry but it's lousy and ridiculous next to it and 'a boring banality ... These compositions are BEWITCHING , they are SO BEAUTIFUL . For me, this is where the real MUSICAL GENIUS is, with original compositions of HIGH QUALITY that defy time without taking a wrinkle ... 1000 percent GENIE!
FANTASTIC SONG AND BALLAD of a very GREAT ROMANTIC BAND full of TALENT...Listen to and make your own opinion ,all BOYS and GIRLS on UA-cam .Am i right or wrong ?
Another Great Song From ???? 🤔 These ?? Iconic 80$ New wave.. Geniuses!!!!!!😉 On Another ... Plateau.........!!!!!✌️💗😊😁......... Stop Copying Them??? U New schoolers!!!!! U !!!! CAN'T MATCH UP!!!!! NOT EVEN???? CLOSE!!!!!!!......😉
Yes,they are GENIUSES and I find it a shame and sad for all those who love beautiful songs and beautiful music not to know them, I mean the "new generation", the one who appreciates unattractive variety songs and "songs "cloned that almost all look alike (in the middle of LA DANCE and RB) that it is distressing. Yes, it is really sad for them.
Surprised to see Adolph Green, Betty Comden, Leonard Bernstein as the writers of this song. They would be surprised, as would Green Gartside, David Gamson and Fred Maher!
as opposed to something like "you Give Me All I Need" Scorpions or a fine ditty like Urgent by Foreigner or Hot Blooded. or maybe you have never had a serious breakup.
released in the aspirational glossy 80s when Crockett and Tubbs ruled t.v. Cupid and Psyche is a wonderful album that has been a part of me for decades
This is my all time favorite Scritti Politti song. It's just so beautiful.
I'm totally agree with you,i'm often listenning to them,very often and not today's songs ???
I don't know anyone who really appreciates, Scritti, makes me feel like I'm alone
One my favorite ballads from the 80's. Green's velvet vocals over a dreamy tune. I never tire of listening to this.
best tune on that album - and one of the best tunes I've ever heard. Even now, 30+ years on, I still listen to this.

Stephen D'acy - I'll have some of what youre smokin thx
@@willritter4076 I listen to this album everyday. My favorite from it is Don't Work That Hard. That song is on another level! Haha.
Just the instrumental alone....sigh...
The "I guess it's a sickness" part never fails to make me cry.
Also, what a magnificent respect for back up vocals.
For me it’s “not a lot to say now, except I miss you” Gets me every time, even after all these years.
@@bengerman04 A man of taste 😘
@@ericjourdain892 Likewise my friend.
This song is so beautiful.
One of the most perfect pop songs ever. From a good Croesyceiliog boy.
Glittering, prismatic, perfect.
Yes ,really,they are so near Perfection,many of their songs are Musical Jewels of HIGH QUALITY.
ONE OF THE GREATEST TUNES EVER!💕
We want many ,many more views FROM YOUR PART ,BOYS and GIRLS ON UA-cam for THIS INCREDIBLE WONDER and MASTERPIECE...GO ON ! THANKS A LOT...
Gets me every single time!
tore up plenty of walkman cd players listening to this
This is something we ALL need, a fine track from a fine album!
And it's the case,here.
Best love song for me ..... some 25 years later ........ and it still makes me cry ....
Here is this for people who enjoy singing along. Like me.
Now I know to love you
Is not to know you
Oh I got too near to you
Oh, in the court of contempt
I have to tell you
One thing I'm certain
I've been overtaken, girl
Oh, by the need to be loved
We don't have forever
To find a reason
How I lost the will to love you
Out in the way of the world
Maybe I could see you
When this is over
Maybe when our hearts are healed
Oh what a day to behold
There'll be a day, lovers away
(You can) call me and mend a broken heart
There'll be a time long after mine
(He will) call you and mend a broken heart
Not a lot to say now
Except I miss you
Not a lot to take your place
Oh, in the heart of the boy
Ooh a little knowledge
Is so exciting
You became a part of me
Oh, and the world that we knew
I guess it's a sickness
That keeps me wanting
Ate away the heart of me (heart of me)
Oh, and the heart that I loved
Still beyond believing
In love forever
Quite the brightest star, girl
Oh, in the reason of sleep
There'll be a day, lovers away
(You can) call me and mend a broken heart
There'll be a time long after mine
(He will) call you and mend a broken heart
Listen to her say
Got a little radio
Held to my body
I can feel your back beat boy
Moving a muscle of love
Turn it up and press it
I don't understand it
I can feel your message boy
Calling me over and out
Here's a verse for nothing
An introduction
To the way the world will be
Now we're apart and alone
Mustn't be unhappy
When you remember
Lovers never lose each other
Oh, such a lot to be learned
Thanks, me!
Thanks Laura, you're a true Rose.
@@DylanFowler First, aww thanks! thats so nice of you! And Second, haha thanks lol
@@katsukibakugou9730 thank you

It was the GOOD SOUNDS and it's always the same thing TODAY ,it's become GREAT SOUNDS and MAGIC next to what we hear on the air now.
All their Songs are really SO NICE,SO AWSOME and like anybody,i don't understand why a GREAT BAND as SCRITTI POLITTI don't have no more views on the UA-cam COUNTER. It's completely crazy and incomprehensible ???
One of my best best records!! Up there with all my Prince album's!!!
Yes!
A real FAN of GOOD MUSIC.
I remember when I first heard this at my best friend's house. The production is flawless, the opening bass guitar and that falsetto were on point 30 years ago!! a Classic!
One of the best songs ever
I simply adore this track.
You are not alone,friend.
Got a little radio, held to my body...
Really digging this rare gem.

@@ScareofthelightBook Hmm, not sure about that. I like your investigative thinking, though!
Michael and the JACKSONS FIVE have influenced a lot of musicians and musical currents, all the specialists know it, it is not a secret for anyone even if one does not speak about it much in the world of music.
God, this so reminds me of the eighties and Mandy, my first wife.
Hey ho...
Nice songs,SWEET memories.To remember...
I will never not love song. How long has it been? Who cares? Just lovely.
What is it about this damn song that breaks my heart.
Russell Gordon me too!
Get in line :))) I think it is the absolute sublime lyrics of Green matched with the more or less "call and response" vocal duo of Green and BJ... the song is beyond perfection. I listen to this almost daily.
Me too Russell
Same here.
You and me, both. This one often brings on a tear or two, l'll not deny.
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE and so terribly touting, the VOICES are amazingly accurate and quality.

We all love it,it's really AWSOME and TIMELESS.

it's still so sweet...taking healing...
Best group ever
Like Dean Martin would say .... Bea-Utiful!
The MEMBERS OF RAT PACK have got GREAT TALENT and they had good judgment in their own area.
FANTASTIC SONG AND BALLAD of a very GREAT ROMANTIC BAND full of TALENT...Listen to and make your own opinion ,all BOYS and GIRLS on UA-cam .Am i right or wrong ?
I fell so hard for this song - you'd a thought it introduced me to good sex. Still love it today.
THANK YOU

2019?
Time passing by but BEST GOODIES SONGS never change .THE GOOD QUALITY REMAINS.
2021 almost 2022 😉
Sounds good now as it did then.
Surprised to see Adolph Green, Betty Comden, Leonard Bernstein as the writers of this song. They would be surprised, as would Green Gartside, David Gamson and Fred Maher!
I think his name is David Gamson.
Yes,Friend.
Backing vocals are bliss, otherwise great track.
How is the in the from the what’s is.
Insane, over polished not a song more a self-psycho analysis. Still.
It’s a song that keeps on giving. Even after all these years. Immaculate.
as opposed to something like "you Give Me All I Need" Scorpions or a fine ditty like Urgent by Foreigner or Hot Blooded. or maybe you have never had a serious breakup.

This is nice music..agree..?
