This is such an amazing song. Should have been an absolute 80's classic.

[@aliamjon2550]

Limahl should've been singing this song

[@MustardPrinter478]

It would be too good then.​@@aliamjon2550

These guys are actually legit musicians, super skilled

[@KingJin726]

Sadly, they got rid of Limahl so ppl would see them as legit musicians.

[@munsterbraum2792]

Nick Beggs is a damn good bassist

[@Javierblaszczyk]

I wonder why they expelled limahl

[@KingJin726]

@@Javierblaszczyk only bcoz they wanted to be taken as legitimately good musicians and they felt Limahl's pretty image would make them labeled as a "pop boy-band" like Duran Duran. So they felt it was best for the band to let him go.

One of the most bad ass bass lines in 80's pop history, such an original bass player

[@_Ben4810]

It remains a fantastically dark video, some incredible camera set-up's & imagery...A great song also, that Chapman stick baseline is a classic...👌

[@analogsynthplayer]

Stuart Neale, on keyboards, layered some incredible chords and melody lines that just made this song so incredible and awesome. The whole band is tight and love this album 🎹🎹🎹

[@phxgator]

I once had someone in the 90s randomly ask me if I was him - I have the same name, spelled the same except for the trailing silent 'e'...I was like "how did i not know Kajagoogoo's keyboardist's name was that close to mine?"

[@sunandsnowmusic]

[@mordaciousfilms]

This band ROCKS and I just only really got into them last year (beyond the "hits") when I started digging into their catalogue and became a fan of Nick Beggs, who honestly kills it on the bass. They're extraordinary musicians, even well beyond Limahl's involvement.

[@DerBomster]

The early 80s were a weird time... White Feathers was the first album I bought from my pocket money, and I was kind of devastated when Limahl left a few months later; at the age of 10 things like this are sort of devastating, aren't they? When the band released their first few singles about a year after that I didn't know what to do with them, because - as an 11-year-old - you kind of think that it's all about the lead singer. So, I was quite irritated (in a good way) to find that, no, *actually* the rest of the band are really good musicians by themselves. I've absolutely loved those first few singles (Lion's Mouth especially)! Nick is sort of one of the unsung heroes of the 80s.

[@SteveBello]

Still a damn good song!

[@Davidhjrick]

Great song. Should have been top 10

Música de nivel superior……grandes músicos! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Basseck]

First record I bought in my life (12'' maxi single), was 11 back then, early '84. Kajagoogoo were just a teen pop band but had so much musical quality. Listen to the rhythm during the verse and how the songs takes off when it comes to the chorus. The whole "Islands" album was great, too.

[@umbrellacorp.1037]

The intro of the 12" is outstanding.

[@kayleetejada6486]

I am pretty sure this music got pretty famous during the early 80s. Good music . Nick begg is the main leader of singing and he sings very good .

[@RocStarr913]

The band declined actually, likely because Limahl was a big part of why people liked their music in the beginning, but the music still had a following.

[@nthlns]

this whole album is sooo underrated, such a hidden gem

[@mickeyfinnfinn5449]

It was and still is a fantastic tune - I still blast it out of my hifi on 80s nights and it sounds fantastic ! I was fortunate to get a 12 " version on CD - to replace my original vinyl 12" version on the Island Album They never got the credit they deserved for this recording !

[@Lightblue2222]

This is really good. I appreciate this direction and understand why they kicked the old singer out.

[@ArtsyAustin]

My most favorite track from their Islands Album. I do wish they were more successful back then. They created timeless music with and without Limahl.

[@youngspit89]

Like them with limahl and like them without him... How was this band not bigger?

[@mattigrafikboi_gametwo]

Wrong Time. Great compositions not appreciated. Some years later they would be so great!!!

[@trevorwright9801]

Great

[@RocStarr913]

Probably because they didn’t find Beggs’s vocals as skilled and his personality as charismatic, the songs weren’t as catchy or as appealing lyrically to the young girls who had liked Limahl with them, and because that music was becoming less what people in Britain wanted to hear in general by then.

[@lewisner]

Too much competition

[@norus12xxx]

Moja ulubiona grupa z młodości - jak ja się w nich kochałam mając 14 lat 😁

[@kidwaryodproduction]

One of the underrated songs from Kajagoogoo. Very strong music and melody. And Nick Beggs was a very good singer with a unique singing style and bass playing. And don't talk about good music death this and that. There's many people who said like this, but on that time, abandoned Kajagoogoo after Limahl's gone (Then said how underrated they are) without realized that Kajagoogoo without Limahl was still going strong and better in music sound :) They deserved to live longer than split up after their 1985 album.
