I didn't like the 80s. It kept feeling like it was falling just short all the time. Like the engine of a sports car that won't quite turn over. For me, things really took off in the early/mid-90s. The internet arrived. Computers _finally_ started living up to the promise they'd made 20 years before. Conservative politics in the Anglosphere was on the back burner and progressives were moving us forward again. The 80s were the prep to all that... but not that themselves.

[@brettthomas7038]

Better to shed a bittersweet tear, than to have blinked and missed the moment. Everything being relative, a life with no pain would be as unbalanced as a life with only joy. There would be no boundary to make a distinction by which time could be measured. Much like the contrast of day and night, one needs struggle and pain to appreciate ease and comfort. Nostalgia is simply the mind crafting a space for those memories to live again. Child's play for an imagination stifled by the 9 to 5 grind, we sometimes are better time-travelers than we give ourselves credit for.

[@edwardx4979]

This song captured our lives beautifully in the 80s - 90s. I was in highschool and like the theme of the movie, the thought of being caught between young and what the future holds was just so true. Even now, those moments still hang around and we're still trying to figure out how to live the rest of our lives...

That, my dears, is what I call music ! From someone in his 50's

[@JTDyer21]

Cause the 80s had the right balance of everything. A taste of technology but it wasn't over done. Family, hope, opportunity. Everything was in balance. That's why it was such a great time. Today everything is way way way out of balance. We choke on technology and family is now social media. It's out of balance. As a result everything is completely screwed up.

[@ttigerazer1462]

Every decade has its moments, but the 80s will always be the best for those of us that were fortunate to be able to experience it and wish we could go back.

I was in high school when this came out, perfect metaphor for being stuck between moving on with your life and at the same time not wanting to let go of your youth...having to say goodbye to the people that were the most important to you at the time and facing an unknown future...a lot to digest when your only 18...I miss that time...

[@teresaoutlaw178]

Same here. This music takes me back if only for a short time.

[@MsSparklesNGlitter]

The script of this movie was so brilliantly written, the days great movies depended on talented writers, actors and directors NOT special effects or CGI.

[@Engelbird]

Same. Was a junior in high school in 1985. Fun year for me.

[@landylala770]

Well said Bryan

[@erinbremer5490]

@@MsSparklesNGlitter The hype over some movies today confuses me. I’ll watch a movie that everyone is talking about and I am left feeling nothing, like there’s some part of the movie they forgot to put in. I walk away feeling like I missed something. Instead of having an impact on my emotions, it’s covered up with action and special effects. Unless, I’ve just become jaded as I’ve gotten older? 🤪🤯

What a time to be alive...I miss the 80's & 90's

[@Gerald-r6o]

the unique and glorious 80s, fortunate to have been part of it.

[@hubertclaveria6389]

The 80s was the best decade. Best songs, best artists/singers. And life back then was the BEST.

[@ianbreen1658]

Great song. Great movie. Entertainment and music hit it's zenith in the 80's. Glad I was a kid during this period.

[@dreamfunction4491]

Every time I hear this song it's almost as if I am hearing it for the very first time. It moves me in a way I simply can't describe well enough. It makes me feel very young and very old at the same time. Like I am watching someone's life pass before my eyes and sometimes I feel that life is my life. Wonderful music from a time that was so very different from today.

[@thomasneal7126]

could not have said it better myself.

[@eal8645]

I remember this from my high school days! What a wonderful time! Kids of today’s would have no idea how great to be proper youngsters!

[@wickedout2010]

One of the greatest 1980's movies of all time in my book. Loved this movie so much! Best times in my life as a teenager! Best memories to date! 1985 please come back to me!

[@RONALDO-ij6qu]

Agree 100% 1985 was an Extreme Memorable year for myself as well!

[@gregoryphillips3969]

Totally agree, didn't you believe at the time that it was perfectly cast? l could imagine those characters possibly being who they were in real life. Didn't Demi actually go on to have substance abuse issues and Rob Lowe because of his free and easy lifestyle with women had some real challenges early in his career. Just a few other things, not enough is made of the fact that 2 of the most beautiful women of the era Andie McDowell, and Demi Moore were cast in the same movie and neither one of them was a blond. With the beautiful music written by David Foster this movie was one for the ages.

[@desertrose1226]

@@gregoryphillips3969the blonde thing you mentioned-yes I noticed that..most “hot chicks” in movies of today are blonde. Most “sexy” reality show girls are also blonde. Maybe this is just in the UK though.

[@cm1133]

I was a senior in high school when this movie was released. I was struggling with knowing one chapter of my life was ending while another chapter was just beginning. This song reminds me of better days when my biggest worry was whether I’d get to see my girlfriend that day. This song reminds me of the time in my life when I was most happiest and when everyone I knew was still alive. Damn, I miss the 1980s. Hell, I miss my youth. I’ve seen this movie easily 50 times. I’ll watch it anytime it is being aired. This movie is the quintessential 1980s movie. This song conjures up unbelievable nostalgia.

[@gavinmaitland80]

...and yet it bombed when it was released didn't it? I was just a kid and I just wanted more fun brat pack movies.... I guess in hindsight it was a clever move having these characters grow up and move on instead of just repeating the same John Hughes formula over and over but, man.... I don't think people got it at the time.

[@jimflanary6150]

"...and when everyone I knew was still alive." A truly profound insight and statement. I am 67 years old and spent 31 years in the army and air force. A lot of the ones I knew and served with are no more thanks to war. Truly sad.

[@scottym9778]

@Jim Flanary thank you for your service and all your friends who made the ultimate sacrifice. I sometimes feel guilty because only by luck I wasn't sent to war. The luck being born in 66.

[@roningb]

This music, as many others from the 80's, has helped inspire the writings of a book I'm working on that takes you back to the 80's. A time before cell phones and social media. A time when being with friends was everything in the world and cruising the Blvd was a must on the weekends. I'm so thankful I was a teenager growing up in the 80's. Greatest decade ever!

Thirty-six years have passed by now. Still a great favourite of mine to play on my sax. Sadly a few of my school & college friends are now leaving this life.

Sorry about your friends but you need to know there still out there. Its heart breaking to lose people, but the good news is there alive beyond what understand in the mainstream. Always wanted to learn the saxophone just to play this song!
