When I heard this on Miami vice I got sad because I would’ve loved to live in a time where people were happy and lively and had great music and movies and had a cool culture now this life is messy and I always dream of living life back then. The music was pure and real too.

The 80s left a taste in my mind for music and lyrics that can never be replaced. Yes, a lot of Miami Vice episodes helped launch these songs into orbit. Back then, the television was our computer and cell phone. I remember when Friday Night Videos came on through the air and not cable, because we lived in the country. You were lucky to have a soda pop, and if you had some peanuts and a radio nearby you were in heaven. We had to drive to the mall, pretty far, to buy a cassette tape of your desire. Things are just so instant and fast now and it makes me want to go back. I remember the first time I heard Mike and the Mechanics, Silent Running, I was stone cold hooked. Funny how the instruments and lyrics are used by Phil Collins on his hits. Hope everyone is doing ok.

She actually called before she left the continent. Now she's on the other side of the planet living her dream. Sometimes, at sunset, just before the last limb of the sun disappears below the horizon, I sing a few lines from this song. When you rise over her land, take my love with you great Sol and give it to her. Let her know I'll be waiting here for so long. Par avion.

No, this is NEITHER the late great Mr. Paul Young NOR Mr. Paul Carrick!! It's actually a singer by the name of Mr. John Kirby who ONLY did this and "You Are the One" on their first studio album. There's one more song "A Call to Arms" from this album that's also NOT sung (lead) by either of the two Pauls. It's sung by Mr. Gene Stashuck (sp) instead.

Its funny. As a tween back in the 80's, I guess I didn't appreciate this song when I was first exposed to it on Miami Vice's Yankee Dollar episode. Decades later, rewatching that episode as a middle age person - I finally appreciated how beautiful this song was. Now it's one of my favorite 80's songs.

Venía en el bus y océano fm lo puso a sonar, hacia un montón q no lo escuchaba, aquéllos q fuimos adolescentes en los 80 sabemos lo q se siente cuando suena un temas como este. Adoro la mejor década los 80

I first heard this on KKSF - Smooth Jazz 103.7 in San Francisco, back when San Francisco was a lovely clean safe city...way back in the day. That was such a nice radio station. They had a Smooth Jazz event on Angel Island one day...that was such an nice day to take a ferry to the island and listen to Smooth Jazz all day. Happy people, happy music. Life was perfect that day....
