Holly Knight is the best songwriter ever. I still listen to her 1988 solo album to this day.

[@josemunoz8352]

Thank you for all the wonderful music

[@romanterry]

Thanks Holly for all the great songs you created... you're the best! Nothing but memories of how wild and crazy the 80's were and how much fun it was!

[@Francislution]

I love your music. You look so beautiful too. ❤️ Kisses from Spain. :)

[@longiscadenotas4890]

i am being very honest,..this song has to be one of the most under-rated 80's song, Holly thank you!!! gracias muchacha

[@lidarman2]

Holly Knight is the stealth pop Queen of the 80s. I doubt many know how many songs she wrote for others. She and Mutt Lang changed music.

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Heard this song today on my SiriusXM "80's" station. Was amazed at the diversity from the usual song list. Song is great of course (Holly Knight writing), but the band members are ultra top-notch. (so happens the guitar player is a friend of mine from 80's LA. Still kills it)

[@guyleblanc2781]

I SO AGREE with you !!!

[@Arcradia]

I Totally Agree

[@monksmom1]

@Nick Tangeman would love to see your play list

[@donnageorge2728]

Great song! I'm glad people are still listening.

[@martiat6310]

This song is like a forgotten dream. Haven't listened to it for decades. But its footprint was impressed somewhere deep in my soul. This week some radio station played it randomly and within seconds i got goosebumps and my mind alerted: "Wow!!! There was this great song too in the 80s!!!"...

[@erics1140]

Exact same thing happened to me!

[@bryanhayes1218]

I remember when I 1st seen the video on MTV.. in 1986 .. was at a friends house I was instantly captivated!

[@mr.myoozik7096]

This is one of the most 80's songs i've ever heard, and I love it!

[@muffs55mercury61]

This high power number did not become a huge radio hit (which I don't understand why not) but I recall heavy airplay on MTV. Sure left a lot of great memories. Aug., 1986.

[@reneechristopher2121]

I agree with you 💯%.

[@AlanTegel]

The lyrics, the beat, and the singing really do make this a timeless hit. It could come out now and probably hit into the top 40.

[@williamburns8616]

Holly Knight is the genius behind music that you could have never realized, she has created music for some of the top rated artists of all time, this was just her solo gig. Check out her music credits, she is an extraordinary song writer for the top names in the music business, possibly one of the best song writers of all times. Yes, the Device album,every song is great.

[@bullwinklejmoos]

Add to that her being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013.

Discovered this a couple of years ago...I am seriously way obsessed with their album that they did. Makes me sad they never took off. Every single song on that album is superb, When Paul can really let his vocals take off, nothing better man!! I am on a personal mission to introduce this to as many people as I can...and so far, everyone has LOVED it!!

[@kffive]

Even back in the day, we could not get radio station to play them. But it was JUST before the Grunge thing.

[@JorgeGaleano1987]

Well, I'm startin' to do the same thing, I discovered them 2 or 3 years ago... But I love them

Have you heard The Stabilizers? Check 'em out. Deserved better than they got.

[@kryw10]

It's my duty to remind people. And thank you to YOU!

[@sergiivakaliuk5498]

I listened this song when i was 9-10 y.o. on the bobines around 1999-2000 in Ukraine. Then we bought a new modern sound system which played discs and as a result bobines were thrown away. When I became adult I tried to find this song, using some tools online but it didn’t give any results, until i tried to hum in google app which immediately gave me 20-30% match to this song. So after 20 years of trying to find it and while living in my mind, i finally found this masterpiece in October 2023.

[@aborde4981]

I love this song! The whole album is beautiful

I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC, when I first heard this on early Monday morning, June 16, 1986. Very significant 😁

[@stanblack9650]

[@ivyhuntress6550]

This song makes me so happy. Notice how cool they look without even trying. I am very glad I came across this song and the entire album, that we are all so lucky enough to be blessed with.

[@reneechristopher2121]

I have never heard of this band but the song sounds great 👍👌.

[@kidwaryodproduction]

Am I the only one who think this song also have a vibe of Italo-Disco (On Synth sound and Electric Drum sound pattern) and Europe AOR sound. Always Paul Engemann look and voice. He's always looks like younger Sid Vicious (Wrestler) And Holly Knight in this vid easily can played as a villain in any Power Rangers series.

[@HendrikNBG]

One of the most underrated songs of the 80`s - I still listen to it in 2019 and I sounds still so GREAT !!!

[@SacredLuzt777]

Device was an underrated but amazing talented band. One thing they don't give credit to is the drummer. All 4 deserve recognition not just the 3 on the cover of the album.

[@hollyknightofficialyoutube8622]

Actually the drums were programmed by me, so thank you. The drummer in the video was hired to make them look real.

[@SacredLuzt777]

The drummer using the Simmons Electronic Drums and Holly Knight using a Fairlight CMI. In the 80'S having a Fairlight means that you are a musician with a lot of money, those machines cost $40,OOO in 1984.

[@masheltonjoe]

I was 13 when this came out... loved it then and still do today! I’m so happy the 80’s were my decade... sure do miss that time, especially the music! Thanks for posting!

[@falldownhard]

One song that I had COMPLETELY forgotten about and I pride myself on keeping my pop music memories, especially from when I was in my 20s. I LOVED this and it sounds awfully good 30+ years later too.

[@94cadillacfleetwood]

Liked this song when it dropped, but then forgot about it until I found it on one of those Living In Oblivion '80s compilation CDs back about 1996. That key change at 2:48 is killer!

[@CollectorChronicles]

Yep! Living in Oblivion albums led me to a lot of favorites! Many hours driving around listening to them.

[@rooh5825]

I remember this song, so long ago, they were playing it on a local radio station while we were at the county fair. Weird how songs bring back memories you had long forgotten.

[@mikesteelheart]

Device: "We'll take the most 1987 thing possible and raise you!"

[@DanieldeBavaria]

Paul Engemann really had some bangers in the 80's. This one is really great, but my favourite is "Push it to the limit".

[@mtyler1056]

Heard this on American Top 40 80's Edition and Rick Dees Countdown recently and I love it. Most underrated song of the 80's. I greup then and don't remember it getting airtime but it should have! The lead singer sounds like the guy who sang 'WIN IN THE END' on the TEEN WOLF movie 1985.

Yes! She wrote Never, which is still in my personal all-time top 40.

[@JohnLouisBishop84]

@Vavazelus She pushes all the right musical buttons for me more so than Diane Warren. I would be remiss if I didn't mention her co-writing credits on Animotion's "Obsession," Aerosmith's "Rag Doll" and Lou Gramm's "Just Between You and Me."

[@EphemeralProductions]

her stuff she's written for other artists is better than this, in my opinion. But most all that really impresses me and I agree, she is amazing songwriter!

Obsession, I Engineer by Obsession. Hands Tied, Warrior by Scandal. Never, There's The Girl by Heart, Invisible for Pat Benatar and tons more

I always thought Holly looked a lot like Ann Wilson (of Heart) in this video! I wonder what "Never" would have sounded like if Device had performed it.

If Device didn't record it, I'd be just as intrigued to hear a version by Holly's previous band, Spider. "Better Be Good to Me" and John Waite's "Change" originated with them.
