[@ペンシルベニア]

I keep to myself What I might share with others But they don't seem to understand I open my mouth to rediscover That I don't have the words at my command Holding out for a world so much better But I'm a stranger in a stranger's land All my friends have sold out Couldn't handle the pressure Counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can Children say - children say We open our minds as one But one more day - slips away Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear my parents conversations Well I'm struck by the things they say It seems they traded the years for mere complications Who ever thought it could end this way They close the door but they can't lock it 'Cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before When the man in their pocket Counted the cost of their material gains Children say - come what may Be strong for the friends you've known But one fine day - (not) far away Will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say We open our minds as one As one more day slips away Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew what I was saying But did you know what it meant When you saw that look in my eye Did you know it was heaven sent Was it all a waking dream All that time we must have spent Well I guess it must have been Somehow that feeling came and went Children say - come what may Be strong for the friends you've known But one fine day - (not) far away Will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say We open our minds as one As one more day - slips away Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Children say - children say We thought it would never go As one more day - slips away Who ever thought we could be so lonely

Underrated tune from an Underrated band. Level 42 have always been cool. 👍

[@scottrayford871]

I'm a black man from America, and also a musician. I got first turned on to level 42 in the early 80's. But when I saw they're video for the first time, I didn't know that they were from England!! To me, it doesn't matter what nationality you are. If the music sounds good and you're grooving, f***k color and ethnicity. We all jamming! One of my favorite groups . Music is music. Mozart wrote and performed some of the most beautiful arrangements over 300 years ago that are still enjoyed to this day.

[@user-mg8pj8vl2g]

This comment deserves a reply in my book. Completely agree with all of your comments. And as a musician you need to go check out their back catalogue. There is is some very funky stuff to be enjoyed. I have seen them 3 or 4 times and I know they deserved to be bigger in the states than they were/are. Anyway Merry christmas to you and your family.

[@michaelwilson2340]

Here's further evidence of why a lot of 80's music is just outstanding.

[@davidboyce8683]

I miss the eighties, these were times of good music and optimism.

[@nfindc]

Mark and Mike looked like they were having a blast with this one. I can see how they were so close. Getting paid to play music with your best friend must be surreal.

[@HeIsRisen-wt8wj]

Filmed Nov 27, 1987 in Paris. 37 years ago. The video of the song was the first of Level 42's career not to feature the brothers Phil and Boon Gould, who had recently left the band. The girl - Barbara - is around 50 now!

[@JudyGurl]

Criminally underrated band.

[@MrAKbass]

Such a beautiful song, it hits me every time I hear it....and it's been doing that for 35 years now.

[@wwonka52]

It makes me feel 35, half my age, and want to run out and do what I used to do back then. lol

[@lonccoccala6861]

Same here since I heard it teh first time Level 42 u til now theyre on my play list...I was just a 80s kid back then but they grabbed like in a stone, in my brain and memories.

[@christiandavidberton]

Totally back to the 80's when i was young!! Level 42 ... love this music group❤

Level 42 at their best…..superb track👍🇮🇲🤘

[@JudyGurl]

Right?!

[@craigbeale8540]

I feel lucky to have grown up in the 80's, to relive my experiences through songs like this and remember exactly what i was doing when loading the cassette into the car stereo. To think this music still stands the test of time is incredible. Level 42 ❤

[@PocketProjects]

Absolutely beautiful song. A breath of fresh air then and now in these trying times.

[@Jondsmusic]

This is one of their many great songs that should have gotten a lot more radio and press appeal. It’s a deeper song than most will realize and quality is timeless!

[@davidrosato864]

I love the energy and happiness they express in this video. The melody is so good and I’ve always enjoyed the contrast between Mark and Mike’s voices.

[@georgewonson-ir4cr]

What a sound these guys had , one of the best bands ever and Mike still has a great solo career.

[@ingemarbroberg6822]

Level 42 one of the best group in history

[@duncancurtis5108]

No Mike Lindup. He'd already left in September.

[@SW-bv1me]

I saw level 42 live at Halloween They were fantastic. Mark Kings bass playing is incredible, and children say is definitely one of their best but most underrated songs.

[@Tamiaut]

This one is probably the most playful music video from level 42. Really love to see Mark King & Mike Lindup in this video.

[@mazzarouni5608]

A great song that will remain timeless

[@ViniciusdiCopa]

Gostaria muito de voltar aos Anos 80, apesar de não termos celulares nem Internet, éramos muito mais felizes !!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🙏🙏👊🏻😉.

[@boxstersjm69u]

Wow, I remember back in 86 listening to their album, very refreshing indeed.

[@ALEJANDRO-b9e]

I will never forget when I started being a DJ, this cassette was my first one. LEVEL 42 rules

A coworker turned me on to Level 42 back in 1987 when I lived in Belgium and I've loved their music since then

[@celsogomesdiasjr897]

Linha de contrabaixo sensacional!!! Viva aos anos 80!!!

[@eduardolincoln7575]

I remenber, the 80s this band was very popular so their music GOOD beat and vibe remind me funk , clidren say, my favorite one ! Thumbs up!

[@philliamproject8113]

So many brilliant songs by these Master Musicians, one of my faves!

[@thepub245]

Level 42's music has aged like a fine malt. There was a lot of great music about in 1987 but you would have thought this would have reached higher than 22 in the UK chart. Still, the song has stood and will stand the test of time.

Man I remember when I saw this great group in the NYC with my GF of the time, we waited in line to get in the club for over an hour to standing room only, but it was well worth it. What a performance! man I tell you they don't make music like this or bands like this anymore!

Mark is one of the best bass thumbing guitarists. Needless to say, their songs are classic from the 80s.

Oltre a Mark King (cantante e bassista, 1958) e Mike Lindup (tastierista, 1959), la 1^ formazione comprendeva i fratelli Gould: Boon (chitarrista, 1955-2019) e Phil (batterista, 1957)

[@TECKMASSE]

Great moment of music in my life in 1987 THX you friends !!!

[@tyronerodgers]

The girl in this video is probably in her mid to late 40s now, 15 to 20 years older than Mike and Mark were in this video. Time is unreal.

[@michaelselz3389]

Younger lol

[@sonnyalexander3872]

She looked about 12, so 12 + 33= 45, so you're correct. Mark was born in 1958, so he was only around 29 or 30!

[@JestersDeadUK]

Can gaurantee she's French too, no tracksuit or The North Face and doesn't look like she's stabbed anyone today... much happier without a TikToking mobile phone

[@kamenwatcher]

I wonder if she’s Mike Lindup’s daughter? There seems to be a slight resemblance

[@andrearadford8280]

I think it's his sister as he was only about 25 years old in this vid

Level42 also performed this song at Billboard Live Tokyo on September 4th. It's a beautiful song that makes me want to listen to it again and again. From Japan.

[@georgemathie8123]

Mark king and Mike lindup vocal harmonies make the classic level 42 songs such as this classic sound so fresh and timeless level 42 are in a special class of their own

[@bryanthill4155]

Is Barbara Mike's daughter? I've always wondered this. This song hits me so emotionally because of the masterful arrangement, virtuoso performance and meaningful lyrics. It seems that the 1980s was a once in a lifetime period of truly amazing music.

Gran tema, de un gran conjunto. Level 42, por suerte, tuvo cierto éxito en la Argentina, durante los 80 y los 90, aunque menor al que (a mi criterio) merecieron. Los pude disfrutar en un excelente recital que dieron aquí, en Buenos Aires, en 2016; ojalá, su visita se repita.

I feel bad for millennials and Gen z. They didn’t experience music before the corporatocracy. There was joy and sincerity in music that I mostly don’t hear anymore. Maybe once we dismantle our consumer slavery something like this can rise again.
