Great days now i am old married with kids thanks for the flashback. By the way the black guy in the video is called astro and the album version has himself doing some ragga at the end of this track which makes it much better than the radio version.

When I first became interested in UB40 (1988) I thought for sure that they were probably from Jamaica or some other Carribean Island and were Black; an innocent enough stereotype for me because I definitely knew a little about Bob Marley and this UB40 lead singer sounded like he had one of those island accents. They re-released this song in 1988 unbeknownst to me. It originally was released in 1983. I went many years without knowing when it was recorded. As far as learning about their nationality orgins that didn't didn't take long. The first time I saw a video of them performing one of their hit songs was also in 1988. My favorite song by them is Falling In Love With You (1993).

Having multi-culture members of bands like this was so normal; but, because the music hadn't come from Jamaica, or been written like an artist like Bob Marley, it did tend to be called White Reggae just to show it originated in Britain.

This song has deep content, which indicates that love and heartbreak are like a poison that intoxicates you and eats you inside and that only another "poison can cure you" This is the red red wine, which does not deceive me, it does not abandon me, it confuses my mind and lightens the pain of feeling a lack of love, and that is why wine is as valuable as a million dollars in my hands, wine does not abandon me, love does. Replace an obsessively loved object with another that generates dependency; in the end, both consume you if they end up being toxic. You can choose one evil over another, or both together if you can...
