😮to me it's an existential cry for help and hope in a world that constantly tries to forget u. It takes me back to my old hi school and that neighborhood. It had one dive bar country no less.

A pushpin to keep your place in Life. Two left feet (and both on the same ankle), and even I could move to this. ".... A good beat, and I can dance to it" fumbled into the mic by sooo many BANDSTAND alumni. Somewhere, DICK CLARK is smiling. The soundtrack of a lot of people in the 80s. Dark enough to make you dance, think, and feel all at the same time

[@caseylehl2503]

​@@hilltophouseIt really puts the proverbial "icing on the cake" in the song. "The trumpet solo in this version was played by Hague on the Emulator. According to Jacob, "it took about six hours to get the trumpet to sound genuine, purposely playing wrong notes to make it sound more 'jazz'".[14] I'm thinking maybe it's why none of their live versions have the trumpet in them.😒

For me, it's like the 80's lasted from about 1983 until 1993, musically speaking. Maybe my age has something to do with it, the phases of my life, but those years seem to go together as a set or have some common thread between them. Hall & Oates were tremendously popular in the 80's, but to me don't have an 80's sound at all. On the other hand Sting's "Fields of Gold" sounds totally 80's.
