I still think that 'Smalltown Boy', by Bronski Beat (I can't remember a single other song by them) is one of the finest songs of the 80's...

... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

Step on Happy Mondays. They twist my melon man 😆
Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again
With your lover turning away
Disappointment closing in
Like the walls... and you try...
You try to talk about love
And they put their arms around you
But you still feel all alone
Wonder why...

Jamiroquai-Deeper Underground. And man I really hate Jamiroquai
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

Great song, reminds me of a bad relationship I had in the 90's.   :'(

Another one I remembered, actually heard on the radio today: Come Back And Stay by Paul Young. Has some kind of an earworm quality!

OK... Howard Jones, 'Hide And Seek'.  Beautiful tune that takes me back to my lonely and awkward teenage years.

Can't usually be doing with Rihanna, but that is a terrific pop song, isn't it?

And just in case you fancy seeing a great cover version by a rock band, here's Manic Street Preachers...

So, something wrong with this version?

And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?
