Modern English still sounds amazing at all these years. The lead singer's voice still sounds great.

[@alliemarie3539]

😍😍The song itself is timeless. But you guys make it sound even better all these years later. This song is like a fine wine for sure.

[@GdF420]

They did do a good job, but their original is waaaay superior imo

[@user-ij5jp5qh8o]

Fine wine for sure 😁

[@brunomichaels9497]

Absolutely fantastic! It really doesn't get much better than this. One of the best pop songs every.

[@michaelkeon3215]

One of my favorite songs when I was younger. Still rocks now!!!! I know every single lyric 🙂Edit: Im in the Philippines!!!!

[@davedawe2420]

We all get old, don't we. Cool, though, that these guys are still rocking out forty years later.

[@clivemortimore8203]

Back in the late 70s I was in the army in Colchester, Steve and Robbie lived close to the barracks I was in. I knew Steve from the record shop where he sold me too many punk records and Robbie form a jeans shop in town. Sadly after leaving the army I moved away and slowly contact was lost, well when your young you think you will always be mates, in my heart they are still mates despite not seeing them for over 40 years.

[@andyfield6854]

Id forgotten they originated from Colchester ,which record shop ? the one in balkerne passage springs to mind.

@@andyfield6854 I haven't been there for a long time, but hopefully I will be going their in a couple of months visiting a mate who now lives there.

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

This song is just such a great vibe... Like it is hard to hear it and just not instantly be in a good mood.

[@barnacles62]

I always loved the song, but since I met my wife 29 years ago, it's my favorite. Every time I hear it, it brings a flood of memories, from crazy things we did to hard times we had, to children to grandchildren to losses we suffered to a world of a wonderful life we have lived, and the promise of more tomorrows. I hadn't heard it for a long time, and when I did, I thought of her and had a tear go down my cheek, and I'm a 62-year-old construction worker. This song was written from experience, and a care for life.......

[@ZapperRS]

Great to see these guys are still active!

[@gabrielgarza6441]

My favorite 😍 song of all time!! I first heard this song in the movie “Valley Girl”” with the young Nikki Cage. 40 years later , this is still my favorite ❤️ song. 😊

[@samuelmaxwell245]

There is a whole new feeling that comes hearing you guys do this so many years later. Saying it's beautiful falls short of what I just felt

[@2HatCat]

The best song I never wrote. God I love this song.

[@MrRmrams]
