I will be 51 in June 6th this year. In the 80s you did not have to worry about jobs or money. If I am lucky I have another 20 or 30 yrs. Even the rich do not live to 100 yrs old.😅
When this song came out,, we had NO idea, that we would never be able to go back to the 80's again. So many fantastic memories fill my mind when i hear this song. The 80's were wonderful for me. I always get tears in my eyes whenever i hear this song. I would give anything to go back. Sit on the porch with my grandparents, have lunch with mom and just talk. Run and play with my dog. It was such a care free time for me filled with love. I am 62 and missing the world of the 80's.
This song brings many tears to my eyes. I miss the 80s so very much. My whole family was alive and well, I had no worries and just loving life. I'm 51 now and most of my family have passed on and this world is far different than it once was.
That's really sad to hear but just be thankful you had all those great experiences. You were THERE. So many weren't. May God bless you and restore what you had x10!
Jan 25th, 83 here. Kindergarten 1988-1989, 1st grade 1989-1990. Have two big hair 80s girl sisters, and one more sister 8 yrs older than me as well. I’m definitely an 80s child. Late gen X.
I only can wish! The greatest 10 yrs of my life! I went from a boy to a man I learned about love and broken hearts. Nothing will be like those years again
My mother and father danced to this song every night in my youth. They passed away a day apart from each other. They left me alone, but I listen to this song and I feel them close to me again
I use to dance to this with my x and its a long story won’t get into that but we remained friends becuz his two children and my two children became siblings even if they were not blood related. It’s 42 years later and my x has terminal cancer and I thank God for keeping us as family. The four kids can lean on each other! This song I play everyday just for good memories!
You're not alone. They taught you to love, so that when the day did come they departed this earth, you would never be alone. As long as you love someone, you are never alone.
Siga siendo la persona de la cual su esposa se enamoró y perseverando en el bien aún siendo todos imperfectos y le comparto mi testimonio que a la 2da Venida del Señor Jesucristo usted la verá aparecer tan joven y bello y Ella también lo verá así y su amor verdadero el Señor Jesucristo los bendecirá para que sigan Juntos por Siempre porque él mismo los unirá y con sus hijos . Eso se cumplirá y pasarán a los Mundos Eternos donde nuestro Padre Celestial vive y la Sociedad en Los Cielos es de Familias pero Celestiales y Eternas .
It makes me sad that my children didn't have the same magical childhood I did growing up in the 80's. Amazing music, playing outside with my friends all day, riding bikes all over the neighborhood, drinking water from the hose, Atari, break dancing on the corner, lol. The world was more innocent and much brighter than today.
Way older than most commentators here, but totally agree, the 80’s were so special and this song epitomises the very best. Clearly sung, beautiful lyrics, such joy.
Me too even after 40 years. This song will always remind me my Dad who was a sailor and bought me my first RTV Lloyd's Telefunken and inside was cassette with this song. Tato kocham Cie ❤
My first wife used to hold my newborn second son in her arms and swing around singing this song to my son. She has since passed and my son is now 35. This song brings me back yoo seeing her joy holding him and tears to my eyes.
I was just explaining to my fiancé (as I’m dancing and crying) the way my dad used to dance with my newborn daughter to this song. And then my niece. I told him this is the song I want to dance with my dad to at our wedding. Makes me tear up, remembering dancing with him as a little girl.
Amen, brother! And as everyday gets further from that time, I realize only we can truly say, we lived a life like non before. Or will again. It was the music!!!
this was one of my daughters favorite songs.She died in 1990 at age 17 and I miss her so...Cynthia this songs always reminds me of you as with numerous things...so bittersweet. so many memories. With tears streaming down my face I wish you Peace and hope to see you again !
+Brenda Mccullough Sorry to hear of your loss Brenda, your daughter died the same year I was born, such a long time ago but she's obviously still in your heart, I'm sure you will see her again. Keep well.
Im so sorry for your loss...this song reimds me of my mother who died in 1993. The song makes my heart smile and ache at the same time. may your angel daughter RIP!
At 62, I consider myself lucky to have lived through the 60's, 70s and 80s. The best time ever to be alive .... but I'm not done yet. TO BE CONTINUED :)
Not done here either. 67 and still have good health and more living to do and of course listening to these legendary classics. Music keeps you healthy.
I was 20 when this song came out. Back then I thought it was pretty good, but now I'm 55 and both the song and video bring tears to my eyes. They exude such positivity and really make me miss the 80s.
I was born in 83. It amazes me how 80s music is full of such unbridled optimism. They were positive the future was gonna be awesome. Not sure when it started but nihilism has firmly taken hold sometime since then.
Yeah I'm astonish. I heard all this music back in the 80s. Of course it though it was good. But now I feel there's such a positive and innocent feeling too them. Boy has the world become a cold place without us noticing it. We are screwed 😭
This is, by every measure, the most PERFECT light pop song ever. Words, music, playing, intonation, harmony and the hardest part of all: The FINISH. So few songs finish well that they have to do the fade out routine. Not this one. A true masterpiece in it's genre.
No way a dont want go back its only now a realise how good things were thanks for the memories its music like this that gives us a wake up call am 64 still got 40 years in me and its nice telling my girls how good things were in the 80s
I agree that the 80s was a great time to be alive, but I try to look at it without roast covered glasses. As a child in my 80s, every time I had a chance, I prayed to God that Russia would not start a nuclear war. Every single day,. We’re probably closer to nuclear war now than we were then with Russia but the Cold War was a scary time in the 80s
@@jessicadugan9184 The media made it more scary than it actually was. There has never been a threat without some sort of American involvement or American provocation. But regardless of the politics, news media didn't have a hold of people back then in the same way that it does today and that's partly why fewer people back then cared about that nonsense. Certainly as kids, we never had any of that propaganda thrown at us and I don't remember my parents or my friends parents ever being overly concerned about it
Yeah I'm astonish. I heard all this music back in the 80s. Of course it though it was good. But now I feel there's such a positive and innocent feeling too them. Boy has the world become a cold place without us noticing it. We are screwed 😭
1988, on vacation in Florida. This song was on every station in South Florida. I'd hear it twenty or thirty times a day and never got tired of hearing it. That holds true to this day.
I Miss the 80s when everything I touched turned to Gold. Now my family and many of my friends have passed on, but this track still makes me smile and feel happy.
Listening to 80s music brings me both great joy and a deep longing kind of pain. I really miss those precious years of my youth so much. How I wish I could experience it all again.
Don’t most people say that they miss the decade in which they grew up though? I am super there are! In 20 years from now, people will be writing about how it was wonderful to grow up in the 2000’s.
Why can't life be as good as this video is... It's like an explosion of pure joy. The 80s had a lot more joy in them... And I know I'm not the only person who feels that way... Miss ya, 80s. mwah!
+Josh Popichak He is right. When you hear this song it takes you back to your younger years and makes you remember the times when you had little to no stress and no worries as a child or young teenager. it allows you to live those days all over again and calms you down and puts you in a good mood. I'm sure the young kids now will think that of current songs as they get older.
+Josh Popichak You can make your life anything you want it, you just can't make it "80's good" If I could live a time over it would be the stretch from 1984-1989. Even people in their 50's would say that was a good time, an easier time. And music like this shows it. #timeless
+Stephen Conley SO TRUE, AND THE SAD REALITY OF IT ALL MANY KIDS TODAY CONCUR WITH THAT STATEMENT. MODERN TIMES SUCK, I WISH THAT WASNT THE CASE BUT IT IS
This was also my wife and I song. We played it at our wedding unfortunately we also played it at her funeral in February. I refuse to let it make me sad. All I see when I hear this is the beautiful face of my wife.
One of the best songs in the 80s. No doubt. I was 16 back then. Time flies. 51 now. Here's wishing everyone the best of health, peace & happiness always... ❤️ from 🇸🇬
The interesting thing is we still had the threat of nuclear war, but it's like everyone could see the end of the cold war in sight and were ready to celebrate!
and Ronald Reagan was President. A lot more trickled down than just economics. See the movie. I was moved to tears of nostalgia. This is a great song of joy, hope, love, unity and strength. Nuff said. Loved the 80’s.
This marvelous love song throws me back to the even much more marvelous eighties when (1988, when this song was released) I was 22 years old and when I was very deeply in love with my girlfriend witch I am still with fortunately. 'Those were the days my friend🤷🏻♂️'; I will néver forget the incredible, maybe the best music decade ever (way too much to mention), eighties. Whát a great time then; perhaps the best days of my life and I miss it too...
I was just going to have this play in the background, but a couple notes in and I reached over and cranked it up. It brought an instant smile to my face. Amazing how this was written for Whitney Houston, but Clive Davis rejected it saying it wasn't right for her. He was right. Then offered to Belinda Carlisle. Her producers liked it but she didn't. Hallelujah. Boy Meets Girl decided to record it and release it themselves. In my opinion, it would always be a better song when sung by a man with the woman as backing vocals. Plus, having the man and woman singing it together brings a lightness to it when the lyrics could easily suggest desperation. They were the perfect duo for this song. The video harkens to the late 80's with the fashion choices hinting at the 90's being just around the corner.
What were they like? They seemed lovely. She is gorgeous - she looks like Cindy Crawford here but with more spontaneity. I looked them up and today she is still very beautiful and he looks great too. Divorced but good friends still
27 males on a flight from Amsterdam to Manchester sang this and had possibly the best responce ever the whole flight was a joy we were bouncing to everyone on the flight a huge THANKYOU
Couldn't agree more... listening now, in 2019.. missing the 80's days...waiting for my husband to come home after driving a semi, with the impeding storms here in Ohio... CHERISH the memories, AND the music, for sure.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
So many memories of the 80s whenever I hear this song: high school, cutting classes with besties, bubblegum, heartbreak of a crush, winning and losing at sports, the clunky Sony Walkman & a shelf full of casette tapes, and above all, the feelings of being immortal and pleasantly stuck in an endless summer party. The subsequent decades just don't quite match up.
@Momentum Rules You bet!! In fact, since I had the misfortune of being a teenager in the 2010s--when mainstream music is almost nothing but autotune and machine noises and not using real instruments--I listen heavily to 1980s music as most of it has a unique "magical" and "stereotypical Disney" (this song is especially very Disney-esque) especially feel to it, with its potent synthesizers (like Van Halen's "Jump" and Laura Branigan's "Gloria", the latter of which I especially like the "explosive" synthesizer jabs), blazing distorted electric guitar (like in every 1980s hair metal song), and driving beats! (You can say that I am one of those youth in a generation that tends to indulge in and favor the decade 2-3 decades before the current one, as how there were youths who were a fan of the 1950s-1960s, back in the 1980s; just like there are youths who like 1980s today) Though I am glad that there are many artists today that are channeling the 1980s in their own music...In fact, a singer named Eddie Vantez released an album this week, of songs that sound like they came straight from Bon Jovi, RATT, Whitesnake, Journey, etc., only difference is that they were released this week! You should listen to Eddie Vantez!!
My husband died and this was our song when I miss him I go outside at night and listen to it while gazing at the stars and it makes me feel closer to him and one time I even seen a falling star ✨️🌟 ✨️
When you feel the breeze at your temple...know that it is his kiss. May it comfort you to know he is still there...and still in love with you. Until you and he are reunited, never to be separated again. Hold on, hold out, you are not now nor ever without him.
As a younger GenXer, I was glad that as a teenager I had this great music. There’s a sweetness and optimism to it that’s been totally lost. The 80’s had the best music!
George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam, fine songwriters who wrote a bunch of hits for others, primarily Whitney Houston, finally got a chance to record themselves in 1988 for RCA. Got this on on a cassette single (stores were phasing out 45's then), and later on CD. I was doing Country on WHPO back then, but saved this for later use on KBOA. While capturing a moment in time that no longer exists, the song is timeless.
Hats off @RJ McAllister ! Sad for me , sad for my friends, I lived in Romania at that time, and my country was part of "iron courtain", under the russian boots... I used to listen George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam at "Voice of America" and "Radio Free Europe" and cannot describe all those feelings, still alive nowadays ! Overwhelming sound , They will remain in my heart all of my life ,Bless You, Bless Shannon, Bless George,They means for me pure Adolescence, pure American Spirit which I dreamed of such a long time...
I'm 29 and this song gives me a memory of nostalgia that I've never experienced in my life. Maybe it was my father, maybe my mother, but I'm grateful for this song.
I have come back to this song again, because the two writers/singers perform with such natural joy. There is a chemistry between them that cannot be faked. The whole song is infused with joy. We don't have that kind of joy and happiness in our world right now and we desperately need it. I wish this song was a world I could slip into when I wanted to; I would probably never leave it.
I was 31. It was 1999. Traveling 120 miles to sit state nursing boards. I had this on cassette with a repeat button. Listened over and over and over again. The nursing test took two days. This song kept me calm throughout the test. If it wasn't for this song, I would have probably had panic attacks and overwhelming anxiety. I would have failed the test. And subsequently, throwing away 4 years of my life. This is why it's in my TOP 3 greatest songs of all time! I am forever grateful.
Russell Johnston ... Congrats on passing your boards (In 1999). Nursing can at times be a thankless career, as you well know, but thank you for what you do.
I also have a song connected to passing my nursing boards.Wgen I looked up my license(that was the way you would first find out if you passed,in Florida,your name and license would show up on the State professional healthcare provider online license lookup), and saw my name and license number,when I completely expected it to not be there,I was completely shocked and so happy. The next thing I did was play Cheap Trick surrender and hit replay about 5 times singing and dancing to it.Lol!
Here it is April 20, 2024 - woke up this morning and this song started playing in my head. Wow I haven’t heard it in years but I know it was there and “sent” to me for a reason. Magic ❤ Beautiful uplifting song and video😊 Thank you 🙏 Think I’ll play it one more time 😉
Aqui é 28/04/2024, último domingo do mês, estava procurando alguma coisa diferente no UA-cam, me deparei combessa música, eu ouço ela várias vezes numa live do DJ DURAN as vezes de sextas-feiras quando ele faz e aos domingos as 11:00 da manhã. Realmente é linda mas um pouco triste. São Paulo (interior)Brasil 😂😅😊😊🇧🇷
@@ImYourHuckleberry_29 sim Tabish29 é português, obrigada você também me trás boas vibrações. Boa noite e excelente semana que está começando. Abraços 😉 🤗🫠
Absolutely agree! You could have FUN dressing up & going out. Girls & guys BOTH. Great range of music to pick....mostly UPBEAT & FUN....and people were still NICE. Everything went down hill from the 80's. Sad.
An incredible song! It stirs my emotions and brings tears to my eyes. I’ve been divorced since 2020. She left me after 28 years for someone else. I was so heartbroken and devastated. But God brings beauty from the ashes. I’m healed now and long for someone to hold and love. So……..,”I’m Waiting For A Star To Fall”!
played this to my hubby in 1991 to get him to go out with me and we have been together and married since and 2 kids later and a granddaughter later we are still going strong so I'm so grateful for this song x
Yes, the West was a paradise on earth, but now it's in the past!!! Did you laugh at Russia???? Well, now you have all fallen into poverty as one, and it will only get worse in the West!!!
This song is indeed a Pop masterpiece. It's uplifting, has a beautiful melody, meaningful lyrics, a terrific chorus and is insanely catchy. Just doesn't get any better than that.
Actually thee best decade of music was the 1970s. More categories than ever! True new raw talent at it's finest. Real musicians and Real Singers. No computerized drum programming, no voice machines. The 1980s was the last decade of real music for the most part.
To me, this one reminds me of a time when I was in 9th grade. It was a time when nobody really judged me for being a person of European descent. I had classmates who were of African descent, most of the people on my school bus were of African descent, and about half of my high school band was caucasion, and the other half was of African descent. We all got along, for the most part. Nobody seemed to care. We were in school to learn, and we were in the band to kick the shit out of the other schools band. That is what we worried about.
I had just started college when this song was released. And had started seriously seeing my wife (girlfriend then), who was crazy about this song...I grew to love it. Sadly she left me for Heaven Christmas morning 2015. She chose wisely...too much lymphoma treatment and lupus, can't blame her. This song takes me back to just a country road drive hearing her beautiful voice as she sang every word (she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket...LOL...but it was beautiful to me!) Thankful for the time machine called youtube...
One of the best things about music is its ability to create connections between us that also last after us. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm also very glad that you can be brought back to the core of your love for each other, any time you want, just by listening.
Boy do I miss these times. I was 21 years old when this song was out. My life has always been difficult even then, but if I knew then what I know now...I would had taken a different road at that time in my life. Wish I could go back to this time.
Been there,done that. I was 21 also when this song came out. Brings back great memories (and some bad) from my college days back then. Still one of my favorites.
@@ILoveJesusChrist3 I get very emotional listening to the song because I had something happen in my life at the time that was very sad and it was somebody that I love very much and they had a horrible stroke and I thought I was going to marry this person
@@ILoveJesusChrist3 thank you. It was somebody that I was seeing thought I was going to marry had a little bit of a heart issue went in for surgery then a month later had a massive stroke and no longer speak and moved away never saw him again.
@@loreeone1 so sorry to hear this, that's so sad, I guess you couldn't have tracked him down? Sometimes it's hard to try and find someone 😞 again, I'm very sorry ❤️
@@ILoveJesusChrist3 I I tracked him down all right, but he was two hours away and unable able to speak and I did visit him once when he was 10 minutes away, but his family was very protective and didn’t want anyone around. I remember the day he died; I found out the newspaper, that was a gut punch
I think this song is more childish than others. I liked it when I was 10 too, in 2008 i'm afraid to say. You were born at a good time to enjoy this song.
@@blebhan8213 Nope,that songs about wanting your friends girlfriend. Not very positive & it's not as upbeat as this - more of a rock song.(which I prefer).
Waiting for the 80's come 'round again, will be touchin' heaven when it does, great horns, very classic 80's cut. Nothing better like a summer rain...cleansing of the soul.
There are still some of us teaching these young kids to love the 80’s well the music. We’re in our 40s but our 9 year old pulls up 80’s playlists and jams out with our cat 🐈
This era was more distinctive than subsequent decades in terms of dress, music, and culture. This song is great -- wish this duo had more chart-toppingish hits... Love their vocals.
2014 on a flight back from Amsterdam to Manchester after a old guys weekend we sang this 27 of us one the greatest moments in my life and a used to be on stage in musicals but this was so much more it was special one of those never going happen again moments
I believe it was intended for Belinda Carlisle. You can find her version on UA-cam. She wasn’t a fan of the song so she half assed it. It’s apparent in her version. The writers recorded it themselves & made magic.
I agree, I think sometimes its because we were younger then, but then again you see the world now and this certainly was a simpler time. Great memories.
Back in the day when we were all younger and things were simpler. Most of us wished we were older and now we wish we were younger. Even though none of us can go back in time the music can transport our mood by bringing a smile to our faces as we either sing or sway along.
I am 36, i remember hearing this on the streets of nyc circa 2005. What a bop! Glad the OGs gave us some fire pop! Also, Big ups to the producers that sampled this for a more modern generation. The sax solo? FIRE!

Please God send us all back to the '80s!!!
We've got our best people working on it... (Elon probably) book me a ticket too man. The elite era for pop culture.
Maybe there will be a wing of heaven we can go to where it's like an 80s theme park and we can live in a great replica.
And just a tiny bit further back for me.. like the 70's but I also missed the early 80s.
Amen!
nah too much diversity and equity. they just call it civil rights. we need to go further
When this song came out,, we had NO idea, that we would never be able to go back to the 80's again. So many fantastic memories fill my mind when i hear this song. The 80's were wonderful for me.

I feel like I didn’t truly appreciate it until it was gone for good. Best of times.
Make the most of the present, as it soon will be the past, then we’ll yearn for the present that became the past❤
Me too, Todd! 65 years old and wanting to go back to the 80’s so bad!
Me too miss the long summer’s no worries loved the 1980’s
I'm a little younger...53...But agree I miss the 80's as well. Greatest time of my life.
This song brings many tears to my eyes. I miss the 80s so very much. My whole family was alive and well, I had no worries and just loving life. I'm 51 now and most of my family have passed on and this world is far different than it once was.
That's really sad to hear but just be thankful you had all those great experiences. You were THERE. So many weren't. May God bless you and restore what you had x10!

Once you lived the 80s you stay there forever.

Love this
@ericdevries3974 it never left kid lol and people still blast 80's hits in their car ! all year round.. 80's and 90's are still the best
Exactly! My music downloads on my phone are all 80s music!
Well said.
My mother and father danced to this song every night in my youth. They passed away a day apart from each other. They left me alone, but I listen to this song and I feel them close to me again
That is terribly sad, but also kind of romantic. They just couldn’t live without each other.
that is sooooooooooooo sad!!!!! but I'm so glad that they are together watching over you.
I use to dance to this with my x and its a long story won’t get into that but we remained friends becuz his two children and my two children became siblings even if they were not blood related. It’s 42 years later and my x has terminal cancer and I thank God for keeping us as family. The four kids can lean on each other! This song I play everyday just for good memories!
You're not alone. They taught you to love, so that when the day did come they departed this earth, you would never be alone. As long as you love someone, you are never alone.
That I have loved but alone for a very long time now but I’d be good!

We experienced it. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Well said!!!!
Definitely agree !!!
Way older than most commentators here, but totally agree, the 80’s were so special and this song epitomises the very best. Clearly sung, beautiful lyrics, such joy.
Isn't it nice. Songs were meaningful back then.
This song is beautiful. Neither 1980s were good nor America was better during the 1980s. There was no President Obama during the 1980s
Well put.
Was no better times, ever we would go back if we could

The 80's will never leave us, they will stay in our hearts forever.
70s was even better.
@@themanftheworld8439 80s was best but 70s through 90s no doubt were the best of the best.
No the eighties were the absolute best!

So true!! Thank you for sharing!
I never ever thought that after 30 years I'll be crying when I hear this epic song!
Daniel from Beirut!
Me too even after 40 years. This song will always remind me my Dad who was a sailor and bought me my first RTV Lloyd's Telefunken and inside was cassette with this song. Tato kocham Cie ❤
My first wife used to hold my newborn second son in her arms and swing around singing this song to my son. She has since passed and my son is now 35. This song brings me back yoo seeing her joy holding him and tears to my eyes.
I was just explaining to my fiancé (as I’m dancing and crying) the way my dad used to dance with my newborn daughter to this song. And then my niece. I told him this is the song I want to dance with my dad to at our wedding. Makes me tear up, remembering dancing with him as a little girl.
Bless you
Sorry for your loss.💖
@@annaperkins8764 You''re making me tear up, Anna. A sweet message.
❤️❤️
This song is like the closing scene for entire 1980s. No other way to explain this masterpiece!!!!
nostagia ..
So very true! Never thought of it that way, but it does have that feel, especially when I look back.
I'm guessing you are from Minneapolis?😂😂
Brilliant !!!!!!!!! Total Closure as you say !!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly:)
Anthem of the 80’s, I was truly blessed to be there.
For sure friend. There are no words to describe the feeling of freedom and mystery around every corner
It was the best of times
IKR, and so was I.
I’m 39. This song honestly is so nostalgic to me. My parents playing it 🥹. I miss those days. Amazing how music can bring so much nostalgia.
Yep. Everything changes, but that song stays exactly the same as it was. I think a lot of people miss "those days" these days...
Born in 81. Experienced the 80s and 90s as a kid. You just had to be there.
Born in 82 so I feel you.
And how.
Born in 85 and I essentially grew up in three different decades.
82 🙋🏻♀️
born at the beginning of 81' miss those times.
Am 57 and the 80s were the best times there has never been such great times 😊
Amen, brother! And as everyday gets further from that time, I realize only we can truly say, we lived a life like non before. Or will again. It was the music!!!
I know what you mean, I'm 67 I enjoyed the 70s music and the groups but the 80s to me are on a higher level and I still sing along to the music 👌
I'm 58 and can't agree more no doubt about it we grew up with the greatest music of all times
True, 1980s weren't as bad as today(in March 2024). But, there were problems!
Ronald Reagan the cowboy film star was US President! Problem with US democracy
this was one of my daughters favorite songs.She died in 1990 at age 17 and I miss her so...Cynthia this songs always reminds me of you as with numerous things...so bittersweet. so many memories. With tears streaming down my face I wish you Peace and hope to see you again !

80s was the best decade to be a kid
i still am lol
At 62, I consider myself lucky to have lived through the 60's, 70s and 80s. The best time ever to be alive .... but I'm not done yet. TO BE CONTINUED :)
Couldn't agree more I'm 62 also life will never be like it was then.
You are lucky I hate social media and the internet it’s evil life was awesome without it
God saved the best for last
Not done here either. 67 and still have good health and more living to do and of course listening to these legendary classics. Music keeps you healthy.
Very OLD
I was 20 when this song came out. Back then I thought it was pretty good, but now I'm 55 and both the song and video bring tears to my eyes. They exude such positivity and really make me miss the 80s.
Hey Craig, let's get a DeLorean and go back! I'm 50 and I'm ready to go. We could go back and warn everyone about the crazy ass world we live in now!
I was born in 83. It amazes me how 80s music is full of such unbridled optimism. They were positive the future was gonna be awesome. Not sure when it started but nihilism has firmly taken hold sometime since then.
Now the younger generations get such optimism with songs like WAP! 😔@@fartknockerR17
You're not alone. Now days many of these great old classics bring me and my lady to tears--happy ones that is.
Yeah I'm astonish. I heard all this music back in the 80s. Of course it though it was good. But now I feel there's such a positive and innocent feeling too them. Boy has the world become a cold place without us noticing it. We are screwed 😭
This is the happiest and most nostalgic song ever. Never fails to brighten up my mood.
Was a crazy teen I love when this wonderful song came out. It's an inspiration.
I used to listen to this song all the time when I was going to school in my mind thinking about my boyfriend
Happy and nostalgic. That sums it up! I could dance to this song like no one’s watching!
This is, by every measure, the most PERFECT light pop song ever. Words, music, playing, intonation, harmony and the hardest part of all: The FINISH. So few songs finish well that they have to do the fade out routine. Not this one. A true masterpiece in it's genre.
It’s 2023 and the instrumentals still live rent free in my head.
And I'm still waiting on my Star to Fall..😊⭐🌍❤️
So...my mind went out for lunch years ago and never returned.

The greatest era ever !. No stress , no hassle , the best music , tv & films !. I miss it so much 😢
I agree that the 80s was a great time to be alive, but I try to look at it without roast covered glasses. As a child in my 80s, every time I had a chance, I prayed to God that Russia would not start a nuclear war. Every single day,. We’re probably closer to nuclear war now than we were then with Russia but the Cold War was a scary time in the 80s
@@jessicadugan9184 The media made it more scary than it actually was. There has never been a threat without some sort of American involvement or American provocation. But regardless of the politics, news media didn't have a hold of people back then in the same way that it does today and that's partly why fewer people back then cared about that nonsense. Certainly as kids, we never had any of that propaganda thrown at us and I don't remember my parents or my friends parents ever being overly concerned about it
Nah! You were obviously too young to have lived through the 1960s...
Amen!! 80’s. Lost my husband and best friend to cancer in 2020. We were both still listening to the 80’s 😢 I’m 65 now. Two wild hearts collided.
This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Agreed! Whenever I feel down I play this song, so uplifting and hopeful. I could listen to it every day of my life!
From this and other songs of the 80s, you can feel a huge hope, freedom, optimism. At that time the world had a chance.
Boy Meets Girl
Feeling like we missed the chance... 😢
Fun fact! The world did have a chance at the time! Now it doesn't!

1988, on vacation in Florida. This song was on every station in South Florida. I'd hear it twenty or thirty times a day and never got tired of hearing it. That holds true to this day.
And the exact same humans are still in Florida.
I was in south Florida in 1988, coral gables. Went every summer. This song was indeed on every station!
I Miss the 80s when everything I touched turned to Gold. Now my family and many of my friends have passed on, but this track still makes me smile and feel happy.
Memories of when the world was a better place. Glad to have grown up in the 80s/90s
Ditto.
The 80's were the best! I wish we could go back in time.
Me too!. I was born in 1982 and so glad no social media when I was at school.
Same here! I wouldn't want to grow up in the age we live in now, or even think of fathering a kid. Let's face it, the world has gone to pot :(

Wish i could had been a adult in the 80s

Don’t most people say that they miss the decade in which they grew up though? I am super there are! In 20 years from now, people will be writing about how it was wonderful to grow up in the 2000’s.

+Josh Popichak He is right. When you hear this song it takes you back to your younger years and makes you remember the times when you had little to no stress and no worries as a child or young teenager. it allows you to live those days all over again and calms you down and puts you in a good mood. I'm sure the young kids now will think that of current songs as they get older.
+Josh Popichak you are so right. miss the wonderfull 1980s!
+Josh Popichak it's what you make it
+Josh Popichak You can make your life anything you want it, you just can't make it "80's good" If I could live a time over it would be the stretch from 1984-1989. Even people in their 50's would say that was a good time, an easier time. And music like this shows it. #timeless
+Stephen Conley SO TRUE, AND THE SAD REALITY OF IT ALL MANY KIDS TODAY CONCUR WITH THAT STATEMENT. MODERN TIMES SUCK, I WISH THAT WASNT THE CASE BUT IT IS

Which would be a DeLorean, I hope, and another 80s icon 'Back to the Future' film/movie trilogy
and Ronald Reagan was President. A lot more trickled down than just economics. See the movie. I was moved to tears of nostalgia. This is a great song of joy, hope, love, unity and strength. Nuff said. Loved the 80’s.
I miss the 80's. It was a special time.
Same here, and my sentiments exactly.
It was the best
AMEN! or LIKEWISE!
This marvelous love song throws me back to the even much more marvelous eighties when (1988, when this song was released) I was 22 years old and when I was very deeply in love with my girlfriend witch I am still with fortunately. 'Those were the days my friend🤷🏻♂️'; I will néver forget the incredible, maybe the best music decade ever (way too much to mention), eighties. Whát a great time then; perhaps the best days of my life and I miss it too...
I was just going to have this play in the background, but a couple notes in and I reached over and cranked it up. It brought an instant smile to my face. Amazing how this was written for Whitney Houston, but Clive Davis rejected it saying it wasn't right for her. He was right. Then offered to Belinda Carlisle. Her producers liked it but she didn't. Hallelujah. Boy Meets Girl decided to record it and release it themselves. In my opinion, it would always be a better song when sung by a man with the woman as backing vocals. Plus, having the man and woman singing it together brings a lightness to it when the lyrics could easily suggest desperation. They were the perfect duo for this song.
The video harkens to the late 80's with the fashion choices hinting at the 90's being just around the corner.
My Dad was their accountant and I was obsessed with this CD in my childhood. GREAT PEOPLE

You described it perfectly, Beautiful.
Was my best decade ever. 80's always. Thank-you Amy!
i miss the 80's so much
Man, the music of the 80s was just pure joy....feeling nostalgic, those innocent days will never return, but we still have the memories and the music.
Couldn't agree more... listening now, in 2019.. missing the 80's days...waiting for my husband to come home after driving a semi, with the impeding storms here in Ohio... CHERISH the memories, AND the music, for sure.
I would go back in a heartbeat to this time period...
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.

hi Annemarie see that little photo of me there on the left? Just tap on it, and you're at my channel.
62 and healthy by the grace of God.
I can still enjoy this song, that brings a touch of sadness 💓
So many memories of the 80s whenever I hear this song: high school, cutting classes with besties, bubblegum, heartbreak of a crush, winning and losing at sports, the clunky Sony Walkman & a shelf full of casette tapes, and above all, the feelings of being immortal and pleasantly stuck in an endless summer party.
The subsequent decades just don't quite match up.
Same here. I feel you......
If you try hard enough.. Maybe they can.

I kissed my first girl at the public skating rink to this song.
Nobody cares.@@andymaciver1760
Eu também adoro essa música
What a great ballad. 80s were the best times to be young and alive.
Totally agree! 💯
@Momentum Rules You bet!! In fact, since I had the misfortune of being a teenager in the 2010s--when mainstream music is almost nothing but autotune and machine noises and not using real instruments--I listen heavily to 1980s music as most of it has a unique "magical" and "stereotypical Disney" (this song is especially very Disney-esque) especially feel to it, with its potent synthesizers (like Van Halen's "Jump" and Laura Branigan's "Gloria", the latter of which I especially like the "explosive" synthesizer jabs), blazing distorted electric guitar (like in every 1980s hair metal song), and driving beats! (You can say that I am one of those youth in a generation that tends to indulge in and favor the decade 2-3 decades before the current one, as how there were youths who were a fan of the 1950s-1960s, back in the 1980s; just like there are youths who like 1980s today)
Though I am glad that there are many artists today that are channeling the 1980s in their own music...In fact, a singer named Eddie Vantez released an album this week, of songs that sound like they came straight from Bon Jovi, RATT, Whitesnake, Journey, etc., only difference is that they were released this week! You should listen to Eddie Vantez!!
It's not really a ballad. Just a clean and pure 80's pop song.
Wow, such empathy. I'm guessing you weren't young and alive in Ethiopia in the 80s? Never mind, so long as you were ok, that's good.
@@markfox1545 Buzz off and take your nasty attitude elsewhere !

George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam, fine songwriters who wrote a bunch of hits for others, primarily Whitney Houston, finally got a chance to record themselves in 1988 for RCA. Got this on on a cassette single (stores were phasing out 45's then), and later on CD. I was doing Country on WHPO back then, but saved this for later use on KBOA. While capturing a moment in time that no longer exists, the song is timeless.
RJ McAllister Im glad to know that. thanks a lot
RJ McAllister yep, last 45 I ever bought was Rod Stewart Lost in You.
Hats off @RJ McAllister ! Sad for me , sad for my friends, I lived in Romania at that time, and my country was part of "iron courtain", under the russian boots...

Overwhelming sound , They will remain in my heart all of my life ,Bless You, Bless Shannon, Bless George,They means for me pure Adolescence, pure American Spirit which I dreamed of such a long time...
This song was originally written for Whitney and she turned it down. I'm glad this group got a chance to be in the spotlight.

7 years old when this came out. Sometimes I get sad realizing only a select few of us got to grow up in the 80’s. What a time. 😢
Memories ❤
I have come back to this song again, because the two writers/singers perform with such natural joy. There is a chemistry between them that cannot be faked. The whole song is infused with joy. We don't have that kind of joy and happiness in our world right now and we desperately need it. I wish this song was a world I could slip into when I wanted to; I would probably never leave it.
I was 31. It was 1999. Traveling 120 miles to sit state nursing boards. I had this on cassette with a repeat button. Listened over and over and over again. The nursing test took two days. This song kept me calm throughout the test. If it wasn't for this song, I would have probably had panic attacks and overwhelming anxiety. I would have failed the test. And subsequently, throwing away 4 years of my life. This is why it's in my TOP 3 greatest songs of all time! I am forever grateful.
@Jim Watson Time has no meaning or grip on the best things in life!
Russell Johnston ... Congrats on passing your boards (In 1999). Nursing can at times be a thankless career, as you well know, but thank you for what you do.
@Jim Watson 😢😢
Congrats!!!! My wife has been an RN for 29 years & my daughter graduates in the spring from nursing school. You guys kick ass!!!!!!!!
I also have a song connected to passing my nursing boards.Wgen I looked up my license(that was the way you would first find out if you passed,in Florida,your name and license would show up on the State professional healthcare provider online license lookup),
and saw my name and license number,when I completely expected it to not be there,I was completely shocked and so happy. The next thing I did was play Cheap Trick surrender and hit replay about 5 times singing and dancing to it.Lol!

Killer music, Miami Vice and Members Only jackets. It don't get better than that.
Absolutely agree! You could have FUN dressing up & going out. Girls & guys BOTH. Great range of music to pick....mostly UPBEAT & FUN....and people were still NICE. Everything went down hill from the 80's. Sad.
70s was the best music!
An incredible song! It stirs my emotions and brings tears to my eyes. I’ve been divorced since 2020. She left me after 28 years for someone else. I was so heartbroken and devastated. But God brings beauty from the ashes. I’m healed now and long for someone to hold and love. So……..,”I’m Waiting For A Star To Fall”!

Yes, the West was a paradise on earth, but now it's in the past!!! Did you laugh at Russia???? Well, now you have all fallen into poverty as one, and it will only get worse in the West!!!
Oh yeah; the 80’s were THE BEST
Absolute masterpiece 🥺👏
I don't know about it being a masterpiece but it is a great song. It is upbeat, fun, hopeful and has a great bridge. The video really helps sell it.
Hi I recommend an indie Song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
@@thomasluby1754 dull and forgettable
@@tuckerbugeater Yep, you really are.
This song is indeed a Pop masterpiece. It's uplifting, has a beautiful melody, meaningful lyrics, a terrific chorus and is insanely catchy. Just doesn't get any better than that.
No music in any era beats the 80s.. timeless 😍
🤩

The 60’s the 70’s and the 80’s was the best music ever produce in history music from those 3 decades will be around forever.
Actually thee best decade of music was the 1970s. More categories than ever! True new raw talent at it's finest. Real musicians and Real Singers. No computerized drum programming, no voice machines. The 1980s was the last decade of real music for the most part.
This was playing on the radio the night we drove to the hospital to deliver my baby…a girl. Nov/1988
I thought it was a perfect sentiment ❤👶🏻🥰
So that child now be 35 !
Congrats
Aaawww
Are u single
To me, this one reminds me of a time when I was in 9th grade. It was a time when nobody really judged me for being a person of European descent. I had classmates who were of African descent, most of the people on my school bus were of African descent, and about half of my high school band was caucasion, and the other half was of African descent. We all got along, for the most part. Nobody seemed to care. We were in school to learn, and we were in the band to kick the shit out of the other schools band. That is what we worried about.
I had just started college when this song was released. And had started seriously seeing my wife (girlfriend then), who was crazy about this song...I grew to love it. Sadly she left me for Heaven Christmas morning 2015. She chose wisely...too much lymphoma treatment and lupus, can't blame her. This song takes me back to just a country road drive hearing her beautiful voice as she sang every word (she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket...LOL...but it was beautiful to me!) Thankful for the time machine called youtube...
One of the best things about music is its ability to create connections between us that also last after us. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm also very glad that you can be brought back to the core of your love for each other, any time you want, just by listening.
Beautiful tribute. Thank you.
Thanks a lot. You just made a 26 year old soldier of 9 years who didn't even cry at the birth of his children, shed a tear.
Songs bring back memories. You will love your wife forever
Sorry for your loss
We don't look for old songs, we look for the memories they carry
Yes
So true. I hqve so many song memories from this era❤️
This is the best analogy I've ever heard on the subject.
@@tb8936 Strongly agree
Bester Kommentar👍👍
Boy do I miss these times. I was 21 years old when this song was out. My life has always been difficult even then, but if I knew then what I know now...I would had taken a different road at that time in my life. Wish I could go back to this time.
you are stronger for it today
Been there,done that. I was 21 also when this song came out. Brings back great memories (and some bad) from my college days back then. Still one of my favorites.
I can understand! Live for now..
me too :(
Kelly Weyerman Maybe... Or it might be just because I have a son to think about. He gives me my reason to live.
The emotions I get listening to this song is unexplainable but i know everyone who grew up in the 80's, know exactly how I feel 😔❤️
@@ILoveJesusChrist3 I get very emotional listening to the song because I had something happen in my life at the time that was very sad and it was somebody that I love very much and they had a horrible stroke and I thought I was going to marry this person
@@loreeone1 I'm so sorry ❤️
@@ILoveJesusChrist3 thank you. It was somebody that I was seeing thought I was going to marry had a little bit of a heart issue went in for surgery then a month later had a massive stroke and no longer speak and moved away never saw him again.
@@loreeone1 so sorry to hear this, that's so sad, I guess you couldn't have tracked him down? Sometimes it's hard to try and find someone 😞 again, I'm very sorry ❤️
@@ILoveJesusChrist3 I I tracked him down all right, but he was two hours away and unable able to speak and I did visit him once when he was 10 minutes away, but his family was very protective and didn’t want anyone around. I remember the day he died; I found out the newspaper, that was a gut punch
Absolutely love this song! Nothing beats the 80s...
Just pure perfection. Lowers my blood pressure and transports me to a time of much more gentility and grace.
I was born in 1978 and I absolutely love this song, the 80's is definitely the best decade of music.
good taste!
Universal Beckham same here 79 lol
77 here ...so lucky to have been a kid in the 80s!! Those were the best days ever!!
78 too. One of my favorites as a kid. I still love it!
I think this song is more childish than others. I liked it when I was 10 too, in 2008 i'm afraid to say. You were born at a good time to enjoy this song.
The way she looks at him at 3:37 is the look of love, fun, and happiness! Please take me back to the 80's!!
Am I the only one who just realized this is possibly the most upbeat, positive song about being in love with someone you can't have? Because yeah.
I think you might be right.
Hello, how are you?
Jesse's Girl?
@@blebhan8213 Nope,that songs about wanting your friends girlfriend. Not very positive & it's not as upbeat as this - more of a rock song.(which I prefer).
I'd Really Love To See You Tonight - England Dan and John Ford Coley
Makes me smile and sad at the same time. I miss the 80's😢
captured my emotions perfectly!
Yup
80's 4ever................!
I feel ya
@@realmichaud Three Men And A Little Lady Soundtrack
Waiting for the 80's come 'round again, will be touchin' heaven when it does, great horns, very classic 80's cut. Nothing better like a summer rain...cleansing of the soul.
Best decade of music
@@shastrishoon4109 Ain’t that the truth
80s Economy!
There are still some of us teaching these young kids to love the 80’s well the music. We’re in our 40s but our 9 year old pulls up 80’s playlists and jams out with our cat 🐈
@@laguna4life He's a cool kid, knows music. Rock on 9yrs dude.
This era was more distinctive than subsequent decades in terms of dress, music, and culture. This song is great -- wish this duo had more chart-toppingish hits... Love their vocals.
This is probably as close to a “perfect song” as you’re going to get. That sax is just incredible. Why do saxophones make songs so much better
Abdolutely the greatest love song❤
Now that's why I play an Alto Sax
That is a great sax.
It isn't an 80s pop song without a sax interlude in it somewhere!
Boy Meets Girl
I'm listening in June 2022. Heard it on my radio station and took awhile to learn who did it. It is a great song!
It was originally made for the one and only Whitney Houston, but was turned down by Arista. They wrote two of her other #1 hits though.
2014 on a flight back from Amsterdam to Manchester after a old guys weekend we sang this 27 of us one the greatest moments in my life and a used to be on stage in musicals but this was so much more it was special one of those never going happen again moments
I believe it was intended for Belinda Carlisle. You can find her version on UA-cam. She wasn’t a fan of the song so she half assed it. It’s apparent in her version. The writers recorded it themselves & made magic.

They offered this song to record producer Clive Davis for Whitney Houston. He declined. So they decided to sing it themselves! I’m so glad they did!
I have not heard this song in so long. Talk about bringing back memories.. Times were much simpler then.
Ah, see, we all feel so much of the same thing. A friendlier time we had then.
Lolz back in the day...
So true ...
I agree, I think sometimes its because we were younger then, but then again you see the world now and this certainly was a simpler time. Great memories.
Back in the day when we were all younger and things were simpler. Most of us wished we were older and now we wish we were younger. Even though none of us can go back in time the music can transport our mood by bringing a smile to our faces as we either sing or sway along.
I am 36, i remember hearing this on the streets of nyc circa 2005. What a bop! Glad the OGs gave us some fire pop! Also, Big ups to the producers that sampled this for a more modern generation. The sax solo? FIRE!
some songs just have that ability to cheer you up.
Oh yes this one definitely is one of it ;-)
Heard this in Tesco and instantly cheered me up
I Wish they would play More Music in stores like T. co's etc

Sukhbir Sekhon agreed!!! 😊
