Lyrics:
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced, danced

And then the animated video for Take On Me by the band Aha .

Love this song!! So many memories of 1985 music. My wife and I had a Mother in Law apartment added to our daughters house on eight acres. Just the other day I was listening to this song when my six year old granddaughter came strolling in. She couldn't help but dance with "papa". Loved that moment as much as I did being 21 years old when this came out. Dancing kept me sane.

I saw them live twice in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. 1985 and 1986. In '85, the British band , The Outfield opened for them. Was such a good time.

[@user-fv1rs9wu3g]

A beautiful late-summer's eve in Pennsylvania in 1997. Right before I headed off to my freshman year at college. My buddy and I were out cruising in his dad's very roughly restored 4-speed '69 Corvette Stingray, with sidepipes burbling and targa tops removed. We rounded a hairpin corner at this one spot on a local rural road. He dropped a gear and that small block 350 bellowed through the valley literally just as the opening chords to this song came on the FM radio. We were on our way to a party to "meet chicks" (spoiler alert: we failed), but for the remainder of my days on this glorious earth that exact millisecond in time will instantly be reattained when I hear the opening chords to this song. Music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Every sensory perception is magically recreated and I'm suddenly a teenager again with the whole world as my oyster, if only for the brief 3 minutes. An era before I met the love of my life, now sadly gone, and before I became bitter and jaded. I'll never get tired of it nor wishing I could have that time back. Pro tip, kids: savor every moment and bite off big chews of life and never settle. As an odd coincidence, my soul-sucking corporate job for the last 15+ years is only about a mile from the old Exton, PA drive-in theater where this video was filmed back in 1985. And my unsatisfying marriage also originated within a few scant miles of the same location. Life is 'funny' like that sometimes...

I was born in the cold of 1986, so my childhood was in the 90s which, to be fair, was still populated by the echo of 80s music whilst trying to find its own voice. Im glad I was born when I was, because my mind was saturated with great music. Especially with my mother adding 50s 60s and 70s music to it as well. A great time to be born, but a sad one that the best days of music are well behind us. The modern world sometimes comes out with some gems, but they are few and far between for me 🤷‍♂️
