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!

    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.

    Fun Fact: These two also wrote "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and "How Will I Know" for Whitney Houston. So if you think this is catchy, you're right. Shout out to the 80s! The best songwriting decade for pop music. So good they're still influencing artists today. ❤

    • @spudskie3907
      @spudskie3907 2 роки тому +85

      They were at a Whitney Houston concert and noticed a shooting star. This inspired this song. It was written for her, but she passed.
      I’m glad to see these two sing it, and it still sounds awesome today as it did back then.
      EDIT: Some people are confusing "passed" for "died". Whitney was not interested in singing this song, so she passed on it.

      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

      @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!!

    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.

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.

    Like happiness and love revolve around you
    Trying to catch your heart
    Is like trying to catch a star

    Waiting (however long)
    I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you)
    It's so hard waiting (don't be too long)
    Seems like waiting
    Makes me love you even more

    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 😂😅😊😊🇧🇷

      I heard this at a Wendy's yesterday after more than 25 years. It made me miss the 80s all over again. How I so wish I could go back again.

    When this song came out there was still so much life to discover while I'm feeling like we're quickly approaching the end of the road. Life has become way too fast to keep up 😢

      I know how you feel. This video just embodies the joy of youth and how carefree things were back then. We will always have those memories and watching music videos from back then just transports you back in time. Wonderful memories!!
