This song reminds me of better days, hanging at Venice Beach and going to a teen club in Santa Monica CA called 321. It was all about having fun... Then I got infected with a condition called adulthood and responsibility and life hasn't been the same since. But thank God I am still here to look back on the good old days.
What a fucking good production... Just perfect. Green and Arif... Come on, you guys... I forgot... This is over. Just pray guys... like Aretha Franklin...
I just learned about this song a few days ago. Im familiar with and love "Perfect Way" and "Boom, There She Was" but this has playing on my head ever since
Man do i LOVE this song! I think it's the bass. The vibe of the video was great too. When you were tripping watching 120 Minutes, this was pretty fuckin cool. I just love the ethereal voices thing.
@@JD-xo1jf There ya go!! Yeah, there are a few songs in the 80s i could point to that have some elements of this, but, this is still such a weird song. Very little like it. It has definite 80s sounds, but ... it's different,
@@JD-xo1jf What a great song you brought up though! :) The one i thought of, who i thought had a similar soul vibe was Terrance Trent Darby. Just that r & b feel.
Scritti Politti put out 2 of the greatest albums of the 80s... Provision in '88 was maybe even better than Cupid & Psych... I'd be honored if some Scritti Politti fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN by the Dream Academy and MARY'S PRAYER by Danny Wilson on my channel in tribute to under-the-radar mid-80s classics (and a Scritti Politti cover coming soon!). Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
Had this on 12 inch in 84. I was 19. Loved it, Now I'm nearly 59 and I still love it.
First heard this @ The Garage in NYC...84. Blew My Mind.
The 80’s were an amazing Time

@@Hot80s hmmm as if today's world is ok🤔🤔🤔🤔no give me the eighties back despite the cold war.even better than the shit of today😢

PERFECT
Perfect pop
Agreed I can't see how it could be any better. Perfect 80' pop anyway, in fact its way, way too good a track for pop music..
was thinking more funk? any more similar to this vibe? magic song
more than pop
Memories! Great record..
Still have the 12" mix.....but soooo good to hear this on this page.xx
Dope throwback!
Riding In my Suzuki Samurai bumping this in the mid 80's Summertime.
Still 🔥🔥🔥
Album Cupid And Psyche 85 One Of The Greatest Pop Albums Of The 1980s.
Didn't this come out in 84?
Yes it did.
Never gets played on any 80s radio station I know of.......
Green Gartside is a genius!
So is Arif Mardin
One of the greatest record producers EVER!!!!
An Arif Mardin Production!
Bought this album on castle when I was working in Ambleside in the Lakes in 85. Became a schizophrenic in my 30s. APT OR WHAT?
?????
RIP Aretha Fraklin

I never got why they sang about her....
1984 not 83
Oh let's forget I'm schizo! !!!
Used to think I was , but i'm in two minds about it now.
"Oh that's the gift of schizo."
