Wishful thinking - China Crisis

What can I say, it reminds me of the 80s.

Not saying the 80s were good -- feel JS is on a mission to remind us that they weren't

But, if you were a teen "back then", then which ever decade "back then" has fond memories. You are really being sentiment for being young and innocent, whichever decade it was.

This, so much.  As an 80's teenager, I didn't get into 'proper' music  ??? until the very late 80's and 90's.  Doesn't mean I don't have an awful lot of fondness for tunes that, if I heard them for the first time today, I might not like.

So, if we're still posting things, I do love this tune, Laura Branighan 'Self Control', shame she died so young.

Neil Young, Harvest moon. It;s not very punk or alternative, but it's nice, just nice. When me and my good lady have a session watching music vids on youtube, its a wonderful easy song to finish on. I like the simple easy video also, I gather the people in the audience are friends and family. -- again, nice !

Aaand also,, in the same scenario, Johnny Cash, Hurt. Amazing song, amazing video. Both full of pure emotion. I seem to remember hearing the sad irony that his wife in the video actually died before him, even though this was his final sign-off. I suppose some couples are just fated to always be together
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.
