An extremely underrated song

[@tastytom1]

Bloody brilliant! This fabulous song is ageless and reminds me of happy times in my life. They should have been huge…it’s criminal they weren’t.

[@SMSJ223]

Loved it back in1988! Love it even more now!! Sadly These times Are still not changing.

[@petercarrington948]

Songs are not like this now,sadly. Just a rhythm and bassline with vocals but no hooks or melody and forgotten in 5 minutes.

I went to see them in the Belfast Empire last Saturday night, 13th January 2024. It was my first time seeing them. They were brilliant. They should have been huge. Great song.

Travelling 500 miles from southern England in January 2025 to see them in Belfast, fantastic band.

How i loved this album... great inspiration,fabulous 80's times❤

[@chembleton]

I've commented this on other videos of this song, but for all this was BBC Radio 1's most played song in 1988, it only reached number 20 in the charts. That's criminal!!

Strangely this weekend I played this for a mate who was a local DJ in the 80s and he’s ever heard of it. I told him I believed I had read somewhere that it was the most played song on Radio 1 in 88 and strangely I’m trying to find it on the inter web

[@sarahyorkshirelassfuller7962]

😮underrated band

[@micheledesimone5126]

These rivers run too deep With schemes of men for days that lay ahead They sell their souls so cheap They breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread When did the boy become a man And lose his life to learn So much confusion to this plan These times are not changing Show me the love to keep us together Open up your hearts don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land This boy has learned to fail In times like these to cry seems so absurd His own life's crisis pales In the shadow of this truly dying world These are the games we played at school Our hands raised in despair With no exception to the rule These times are not changing Show me the love to keep us together Open up your hearts don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land Where is the love to keep us together Open up your hearts don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land Immortal song❤❤❤
