    That guitar part and the off-beat timing make this song much harder than it seems. The Fixx is amazing. And yeah, who is listening in 2021?

      Alot of prog rock and alternative groups in the 1980s were known for having some of the best live performances. The original 80s style In my opinion came from the English alternative wave influenced by David bowie and pink floyd. Though the later 80s power ballads will always be cool

    I remember my girlfriend at the time bought me/us tickets to see The Fixx here in Toronto - I was ecstatic! It was around 1983 I think and I also believe that Flock of Seagulls performed too. What a concert and boy the early 80's produced some amazing new wave bands! I still look back sometimes and think that people around my age (61) got to experience awesome rock bands in the 70's followed by fantastic new wave and punk bands in the 80's. It was a great time to be alive! ❤
