I teach English in Spain. I was a teenager in Valencia when all this Brit Pop was on our radios all the time. This influenced me so much I studied English at university and... there you go, I've taught it for about 30 years. I bought this "single" when I was about 17 and I kept on listening to it enraptured. Long live the British Pop from the 80s!
@jesuscora4 жыл бұрын
Something similar happened to me, but in my case it was not only British Pop, but also all the British TV series that were broadcast in Spain in the 80s, that inspired me, along with my English teacher at secondary school, to study English and English literature at university. I taught English literature for 23 years until… well, that's a different story! :)

My wife is French and teaches it in the UK, having done so since 1997. She grew up in the eighties listening to a lot of music in English by British and American bands, writing the lyrics out as a way of helping to learn English. She still has some of the books she used to use for this, which is nice. I am proud of how hard she worked and the bravery of moving to the UK and being so successful in her chosen field.

I still can't believe that this didn't do better in the charts. It's an anthem and gives me goosebumps even now. And as a line in the song says, "...these were the best years of our lives." And believe me they were! Oh the memories. Thanks Martyn, Ian and Glenn.

This is the song that got me into Heaven 17 when I was just 18. They hadn't reached the masses at that time, until Temptation was released some months later. I was fixing my motorbike in my Dad's old shed and this came on the radio. I thought it was fabulous, went out and bought the 12" and subsequently bought loads of their records. They've done some really cool stuff both with H17 and the British Electric Foundation. This song really spoke to me.
