China Crisis - Wishful Thinking

[@helensproston7312]

Great song ...takes me back to such happier times 💗....when mum and dad were still with us and we all knew how to have fun 💜

[@marcuskeulertz5852]

I remember, when one of my classmates borrowed me the CD "Flaunted Imperfection".Man I loved their New Wave sound flavored with some jazzy hooks embedded in a certain melancholy.

[@michael5089]

Yes. I miss mum and dad terribly.❤

[@sergioalmasy8722]

1984! A simple life - nothing complicated!

[@GlynJones-g4q]

My mother used to sing this making tea great times ,,😢

[@mariainesminia7737]

My brother's fave song from the 80s. He passed on 2 years ago. If I close my eyes, I can still see him dancing to this. 😥

1983 . 20! years old. Loved the song then and now. Life was in front of me. And now. All too easy to look back. Always look forward!

[@hughzapretti-boyden9187]

A stunningly beautiful & timeless song but sadly the voices have long gone. Thanks for the memories.👍

[@dodgy1954]

Saw them last week. Voices are in good shape… I would say a bad cold / throat on this occasion

[@mariacveneziano9858]

I just discovered this gem of a song! I lived through the 80’s never heard this in Australia!

[@janpur1417]

THIS IS A VERY FAMOUS SONG IN SRI LANKA WHERE ENGLISH IS THE SECOND LANGUAGE. SOUL ASYLUM.... TRY LISTENING TO PROMISES BROKEN....

[@jamespage4843]

You sing from your soul which makes all your songs beautiful😊

[@Blacklamass]

Yes lovely I can go back in time and remember exactly where I was when I first heard this, I’m 70 now and just wish I could go back to those days when everyday was so new and beautiful

[@MaritesCordova-m4e]

Never fades i love this song very much reminds me of my younger years

[@wahn10]

"I sat on the roof... and watched the day go by. I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands -- makes it all worthwhile." Evocative lyrics, eternally beautiful song. 💙

[@halfordslain7477]

Best 80s song.

[@Blondejam]

What a great gentle band! Brilliant music from a great band and a great time in my life...

[@CeeOlleab388]

Thank you for this - brought back memories of the 80's

[@RichardZumach]

Just beautiful to hear these eighties songs again seemed a more peaceful time !

[@davidhatton1966]

When music was at its best so miss the 80s. Hopefully one day I could go back and stay there forever 🙏

[@karlc2869]

KZbin is our time machine. Mainstream sucks now. I agree.

That’s why most of us are here… wishful thinking.

Absolute legends from my youth in the 1980’s and sounding as good today as they did back in the day.

[@garystephenson7142]

So good. Always loved this in the 80's. Thank you.

[@keithmooney299]

What a band! So many great hits and memories. Love them.

[@tronlady1]

They don’t make pop songs like this anymore 😢

[@karlc2869]

And also mainstream isn't like this anymore. BTW don't be sad anymore. KZbinr is our time machine. I do agree tho. I also hate today's crap. P.S. The glory years of mainstream music of all genres (rap included) are from January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1970 to December 31, 2003. January 1, 2004 - present mainstream music is trash. Heck, even '50s and '60s music is also better than today's crap. Again, I agree with your comment. Thanks, girl. Retro 4 life, girl. #RETRO4LIFE

[@maussie76]

So true😢😢

[@karlc2869]

@@maussie76 You spelled true wrong.

[@TowerThunder]

Mainstream sure isn't what it used to be. Everything is trash now. I'm glad I grew up listening to real tunes back in the day....

[@TowerThunder]

Indeed it is. Mainstream is garbage now. I'm glad I grew up with retro music of all genres - rap included - back in the day.

what can I say ...absolutely great and very very nice melody ☀

[@dude-fw7xt]

After more than 40 years, their music remains great, though their voices here sound like what we all are now - old and tired. Yes, time robs us of our youth, but that shouldn't stop us from feeling happy for all these great music that colored the most fabulous decade ever of our young lives.

@@Jolo25387 whereabouts in Hyde Park? Couldn't have been Speaker's Corner! Nor the Serpentine! Nor where us locals played rich arabs at football, lovely guys! They'd wear handmade suits, crocodile skin shoes & use the jackets for goalposts then buy us beers at Tyburn boozer. (Wasn't called the Tyburn Tree in those days I just can't remember what it was called) Great days!👍
