When OMD was approached by John Hughes to suggest one of their songs for Pretty In Pink, they selected one called "Goddess of Love". Unfortunately the test audiences hated it, so they wrote If You Leave in less than 24 hours. It then went on to hit the top 5 in the US, Canada, and New Zealand.
@AnUnseenRuler3 жыл бұрын
Kinda right. The movie had a different ending which goddess of love was written for where Ducky ends up with Andi. The test audience hated the ending and so they reshot it and Blaine ended up with Andi. They needed a new song for the new ending and If You Leave was written and recorded in 24 hours.

Music ever evolves as life does, that’s why we love it. No One ever interprets the same song twice the same, (As like any form of art). But music and song actually give voice to our hurts, needs, longing, pain, as well as jubilation, excitement, wonderment, fear, lust, base urges. A song can be relayed in any voice, carried across borders, translated into any language unlike any other form of the other arts. I’ve always promised myself that I would never say, or start with the hint of the statement or implication of the words “Back in my day”. Life grows, changes, evolves and ever expands to something greater. You can’t do this while clinging on singly to the past, the present, or the future. You must be able to do all at once with Love, Patience, Acceptance And Hope. My God! I Love Music!
