"I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough" A powerful sentance describing a situation that we have all experianced in our lives, delivered inside a musical masterpiece. Dealing with pain, disapointment and failure and keeping our perseverence is key in this life.

Song takes me back to '81. Girl I was friends with, and we spent time together, but it was never serious. I was crazy about her but never let it show. I remember the day she told me we couldn't see each other again, never had someone break up with me before when I never knew we were ever together.

Nineteen, in love and all dressed up I danced to "Just Ones" at the "Inn on the Park" discoteque in Toronto in the 80s. Underneath rotating electric stars and on a flashing glass floor this was the last dance. Time stood still and I remember thinking:" I will remember this moment for the rest of my life".

@@mikewebb7345 Right! It's actually titled: 'Against All Odds (Take a Look At Me Now)'. I'm assuming since the movie he wrote the song for was titled 'Against All Odds' he likely wanted to give the title song of the soundtrack a different name, hence the parentheses around the alternative title 😊
