    But my wife still has a love of 80s synth-pop and I took her to see Tom Bailey, among others, this past summer, and I will absolutely admit that the music has aged well.

      Funny……….. when this came out I didn’t pay too much attention because I was into more heavy music. But now that the time has passed and the music path was destroyed I have to admit that those kind of instrumentation are gone long ago.
      The humans are easily for being bored and somebody decided to change everything, now this is the RESULT.
      And nothing to do with that because the today’s society doesn’t have imagination, creativity to bring the golden decade back to life.
      I tried really hard to put my sons into the 80’s music, they learned a lot but………. they want to remain in the comfort modern music
      All of us are suffering in one way or the other.

    I suggest that he could look same as what we see here, 2023s only time since and now, would be great see that, rust haired coloration, with same jacket and all, where are the 2 others? Basist and Xylophonist?
    I was 15 in 85, we are lucky to have lived times far away behind the actual time today.
    Lot of changes!
    Thx to you Tom!
    Wonderfull voice and piano, and all, so wonderfull.

    I really prefer this original British version of this song.… They re-recorded it for the US, including gospel singers, possibly to justify having the different video etc.…. Most people seem to prefer that version, but for me this version just seems to groove better and sound more flowing… The American version to me seems to be a little bit too choppy and staccato, while this version seems to appeal to me more and just makes me feel better.…. For some reason if you call this song up on almost any streaming service you get the American version usually……. Anyway, love it!

    This old life seemed much too long
    Little point in going on
    I couldn't think of what to say
    Words just vanished in a haze
    I was feeling cold and tired
    Yeah, kinda sad and uninspired
    When it almost seemed too much
    I see your face and sense the grace
    And feel the magic in your touch
    Oh, lay your hands
    Lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands (woo hoo)
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands
    Back and forth across the sea
    I have chased so many dreams
    But I have never felt the grace
    That I have felt in your embrace
    I was tired and I was cold
    Yeah, with a hunger in my soul
    When it almost seemed too much
    I see your face and sense the grace
    And feel the magic of your touch
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Lay your hands, woo hoo
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands, oooh
    You know you make me feel so good
    Yeah, like I never ever thought I would
    You know you make me feel so strong
    And now our laughter just goes on and on (and on)
    So c'mon lay your hands on me
    'Cause close to you
    Is where I really wanna be
    And if it ever gets too much
    I see your face and sense the grace
    And feel the magic in our touch
    Oh, lay your hands
    Lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands (Woo hoo)
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands
    Ooh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands (Woo hoo)
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands
    Oh, lay your hands on me
    Oh, lay your hands
