It's honestly cool and impressive that a Rock singer from the 60s went completely synthpop in the 80s. Most artists, like Rolling Stones and Who, maintained some level of their sound, but him, Peter Gabriel, they just completely 180d and they're all the cooler for it.

[@michaelcallahan6527]

I was at a lecture/presentation on Steve Winwood's work by a musicologist which was very good and during the Q & A a supposed expert in the audience referred sarcastically to the 80's as Winwood's "lounge singer" period. Forget the weird video and the stuffy clothes, the songs he wrote in the 80's were incredible - so good!. True they were a little more "pop hits" style than the classic improvisational Traffic work of the 60's and 70's - but you can be sure that all the elite talents from the 60's and 70's would have killed to be able to write and perform music as successful as Winwood did in the 80's. There's nothing wrong with commercial success, man! There are trashy, throwaway pop hits and there are classic pop hits and he turned out one great pop song after another in the 80's. Give him a ton of credit for his versatility and genius.

[@terryhancockroc6560]

Amen to this all! From what I remember Steve Winwood was all but wrapped up at this point. By his own admission he was going out with this album-all or nothing. He did all the instruments. Write, composed everything on Arc. The things kids held Kenny Kravitz or Prince up for being a genius 10 years later Here Steve Winwood shared stages and studios with legends and pioneered a lot of this type of music. You watch, Stranger Things will get to this song and it'll be the next Running Up That Hill that turns a whole new generation on to this Genius. Great memories of this song. Love it!

[@armandocardona4478]

@@gwynnielsen5081 - I agree with what you just wrote in general terms but what I meant is that life was much simpler in the 1980's, much less affected or encumbered by intrusive technology and totally unaffected by social media of course; computers were just coming into general use but there were no iPhones, no Internet, no Facebook, no Twitter and no algorithms to foster division into opposing blocs and groups. Given the high social tensions that affect many if not most countries these days, the 1980's seem like Paradise in retrospect; oh and pop/rock was MUCH BETTER back then as well, and my guess is that if you don't share or can't relate to that general feeling, you hadn't been born yet in the 1980's.

If you were born much earlier you would have started with Spencer Davis Group and Yardbirds then gone on to Traffic and Cream and might have avoided the Heavy Metal phase. Traffic knew how to play the silent pause as well as blast the amps at the same time. The later Heavy Metal bands were lost on this sophistication and simply filled the air with noise.

[@adamv242]

RIP 1981. You were very good to many of us. Sorry I was only 8 years old.

[@Jaydoggy531]

Mr. Winwood, thank you for all of the music.

That's when no one can deceive you

[@goingtothestore]

Every once in a while I need to remind myself of Winwood’s greatness.

[@raydanielz9408]

All you special people with fond memories of your departed family members, may God bless you abundantly to leave such memories to your children 🙏.

I was in between jobs, broke, sent out countless resumes, had just left a bar, fired up a cigarette (was 1998), and this song came on the radio. Cranked it UP! Was such a POSITIVE shot in the arm. Really put the wind in my sails. Funny I remember all these years later....

[@mariobannister5816]

My friend loved this song

[@edwoll]

Who can craft so much melodic beauty inside 3 minutes and 55 seconds? Steve Winwood, that's who.

[@mikehibbett3301]

This was the music I listened to when I left my girlfriend and moved to a new life in the south downs of England. Almost 40 years later, it still brings back memories of those days.

[@eddiekay9019]

I think this is the best advice given. Take a chance.

[@jorgkuhnapfel8012]

One of my favourite songs! Love it!Released 43 years ago (?), tomorrow (Dec.30th) is my 61st birthday, together with my son who will be 21.

[@riofest8893]

The prelude is epic and..... his solo masterpiece. 💯❣

[@simonc61]

I saw my chance and took it a few months ago. After ten years single I've finally met my soul mate/twin flame 🙏☺️

[@themanftheworld8439]

How ? You are lucky.

[@Coneman3]

Tried my luck got rejected 😢

[@davidnikoloff3211]

Never regret, no matter what happens. The fact is many of us turned down the chance you took, and forty years later we look back and think about that choice.

[@lisamak7288]

I have ALWAYS loved this song. One of those songs you can't help but turn up and sing along. Never tire of it. Classic.

[@billymcduffie5317]

The first time I heard this song early 80s. 1 2 or 13 years old it;s timeless 😁

[@larrytasker7043]

Steve Winwood is a musical genius. Brilliant voice, great style, amazing range and wonderful songs. One of the best. The collaborations with other legends shows how good he was/is

[@ryantay9642]

The beginning of this song reminds me of a beautiful sunrise. It sounds so positive and hopeful. SW, one of the best ever!

[@Sincopare]

Ryan Tay I am amazed that so many people have the same feeling about this song and sunrise as I!

[@billybelcaro9585]

I read somewhere the intro was a mistake. The other music tracks were accidentally erased and only the organ solo remained and they went with that. Bob Ross would be proud! So I hope it's true :D

[@franciscocosta2422]

Me too! The Same feelings and when im going to work I remember this song

[@s.foostenveld29]

Yes!

[@ryantay9642]

Lol. I think my dad posted this on my account. I don' even know who this guy is, and my dad's super into this sort of music.

[@frankorusso]

Orazio docet: "Carpe diem"! 😉 Grazie sempre, egregio Steve Winwood!!! 👏👏👏 🙏🖖

[@Margie75]

Happy Birthday to Steve Winwood. Hope he has a wonderful day 🎊 🎁

[@MarcosBryant-lj8zi]

What do you admire most about Steve

[@capkarr]

This reminds me of the Twin Cities listening to KS95 and Sunny- while in cold cold March weather wishing for sunshine.

[@Casevillecountryboy]

[@kenthomas29]

Great poet and musician

[@anaibarangan4908]

This is my favorite Steve Windwood song.

[@aliciahite9532]

This song came out when I was in Army boot camp. I listened to this on deployments. It gave me hope I would be coming home soon. It's helped me through alot of dark times in my life. I never get tired of listening to it. ❤

[@TheGiantRobot]

Glad you made it!

[@catholicdad]

I thought you were going to say ". . . 'til I took an arrow to the knee."

[@andrewt.2850]

One of the greatest songs of the 80s.

[@nigelgoliath2839]
