      Reminds me of someone special way back then too, although -sadly - our pathways went a different way to yours. I often wonder what she's doing now, although she was 12 years older than me! Congratulations. 👍🏻🥂

    These guys were such a real revelation and they were so far ahead for the 1980s as well. I just love Godlly & Creme. The very first time I heard them, it was in 1986 and I was only 18. I was sitting in a dark room with a close friend of mine who introduced me to smoking hash. It’s only a few months later that he had committed suicide at the age of 27. I Just fell in love with the song Under my Thumb. It was very psychedelic, for that time period, but it was surly more of a low key Soft Pop Rock music group from the New Wave trend. I always think of that friend of mine. May he Rest In Peace after 36 years. Thank you for this magnificent presentation. Johnny, Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦.

      But it rings so true for me. A long established relationship with an older woman had soured and she took me for granted. She spoke to me as if I was little more than dirt and still expected me to marry her. I kept saying to her that she didn't own me, but she didn't listen. This song described her intentions to the letter.
