Because you needed genuine talent back then - something that is still present today but diluted by the not-so-good artists who hide behind autotune & production tricks. Notice how songs had lots of different sections back then? 50% of today's output is just the same thing looped over & over. Jingles as opposed to songs.

With the tensions going on in the world. All the world leaders should be sent a copy of this inspirational record. The Message is in the Music. Robert from Manchester
I think those tensions are bad. I mean, if something is stretched too far, it sooner or later cracks. So they should loosen up those ties that bind them“

Especially those leaders who have enough weapons to impose their interests and resolve any dispute by force. Regards from Argentina.
No. The world leaders know exactly what they want and act accordingly. Reminders are acts of foolish futility. Indeed they are merely reserved for the artistic types.
Absolutely fantastic as some of other songs from the same team. Keep in mind, that was the time of great style which included fashion, presentation and synth pop. Analog synthesizers and other instruments added icing to the cake of wonderful and unforgettable lyrics and voices. Comparing to 2023 which is nothing less than a garbage, 80's are time to remember forever!! Even though I like Jazz, I will settle for Hates Jazz anytime. Thank you for such wonderful music, I miss you!!!
Great song! I wish there were more songs like this nowadays. I'd gotten used to that kind of music when I my father played almost every day. I am so grateful for this!

I liked this song at the time but was never a fan of "Shattered Dreams." A few years back, I found this CD at a thrift store for about 35 cents and listened to it just for the heck of it. I was blown away and really impressed. There could've been at least 2 more singles released off it, but since the album didn't sell well (it peaked at #56 in the US), I guess their record company decided not to bother with it.
Una de mis csnciones favoritas,La musica que se escucha hoy no tiene trascendencia ,Los 80 siempre sera recordada como la epoca dorada ,saludos desde Argentina.
I absolutely loved this song too just as much as Shattered Dreams. So crazy how i didn't get the deeper message to this song back in 1988. We teens of the 80s were so absorbed in the fun and greatness of the 80s we sometimes missed it behind the catchy tunes and dance melodies. God i miss the 80s
I purchased this album when it came out.. I was a fann of the band.. and still am.. I was in the Army at the time - 1989... Then I learned I was going to be deployed to IRAQ (gulf war)... I did not want to be a hero... But i was going to pull the trigger. That was my job. i had no questions about it.... i still like the song
Cada vez que escucho ésta maravillosa música confirmo más y más que a los 'musicos' actuales se les acabó la inspiración para escribir buenas letras y hacer arreglos como éstos...
Una anecdota, alla por 2018 saliendo de mi trabajo me llama un amigo para avisarme que JHJ estaba tocando en vivo en el barrio Bellavista en Santiago de Chile. Me dio la direccion y efectivamente estaban comenzando un show. El me pidio que le guardara un puesto porque venia en camino. Me resultaba increible que una tremenda banda, de este nivel estuviera tocando en un pub y no en un estadio. Suenan muy bien en vivo. Bueno, despues supe que el dueño del pub era argentino y muy amigo de la esposa de Clarck Datchler el vocalista que tambien es argentina y muy linda ademas. Clarck habla español bastante bien.
Oh, send me off to war With a gun in my hand But I won't pull the trigger Our destiny is here Beneath the red, white and blue So lead me to the slaughter Now don't be afraid Come and join the parade For the ultimate in sacrifice It's an old-fashioned story Of hope and of glory A ticket for taking a life I, I don't want to be a hero I don't want to die for you I don't want to be a hero Oh send me off to war In a far away land I never knew existed Subject me to the truth To the horror and pain Until my mind is twisted And what if I fail Will you put me in jail For a murder I will not commit?

I thought this was a romantic song as always, but it's really political! If you could hear clearly more than the chorus part it would be very refreshing on the radio with a positive political message amidst all the meaningless romantic shit songs out there. :-)

Brilliant! JHJ contributed to my fun teenage years late 80's and beyond. God bless you guys. Enjoyed Magnetized and now the new album in 2020. Don't stop the music is my favorite.
What do you mean this is an anti America song. Only this country gives you the right to say such outrageous things about it that’s why America is great.
Luved all this when we was growing up the the eightys......who would ever thought...here we are now..all there's years looking back....makes me feel so sad ..but happy ..that so many people didn't make to here on this journey..take care people the journey continues 😉🤪😋😊☕️
This era was the best
I just wish Johnny Hates Jazz had done more albums. Brilliant pop music with intelligent lyrics, great singing and musicianship.
They're still active and had an acclaimed album in 2013 and put another out in 2020

You’re not the only one man
1987 Life was great!! Truly grateful growing up as a kid back then. 2023. Blessed . Healthy and Fit. Thank you LIFE. Thank you..
What an incredible song when you listen to the lyrics. And even though this song came out years ago its message still holds true today.
"And what if I fail
Will you put me in jail
For a murder, I will not commit?"
I especially love that part of the lyrics, so powerful!
Before hearing that line, my brain always tell me before: " for a crime, i will not commit"
:@
The production of 80's pop was so much much better than the trash out there today.
Los tiempos, han cambiado el futbol la industria del cine en HOllYWOOD y tantas otras cosas.-----
So melodic with burst of energy. Brings back happy youth!
Johnny Hates Jazz one of favorite acts from the 80s - Classy 80s music they made, brilliant
I don't get tired of listening, that's music! In the past, songs were made with feelings that touched the soul and heart.
The feelings i get from music like this are just beautiful
This is still one of my all-time favorite cuts. Their music catalog is still so incredible after all of these beautiful years.😎😎😎

Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I won't pull the trigger
Our destiny is here
Beneath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter
Now don't be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
It's an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking a life
I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero
Oh send me off to war
In a far away land
I never knew existed
Subject me to the truth
To the horror and pain
Until my mind is twisted
And what if I fail
Will you put me in jail
For a murder I will not commit?
'Cause you don't understand
Till there's blood on your hands
That it's time to forget and forgive
I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero
And those who return
Come back only to learn
That they're hated by those who they love
'cos you're not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paid for in blood
I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero
