India, imagine songs of this caliber coming out every week, and you can visually see and hear the bands and music on MTV. That was the 1980s. Please let me go back to the 1980s!

80's you just had to be there, no explaining, best music decade ever

[@mogznwaz]

I was there and I concur. The 80s RULED!

[@tallthinkev]

No, nope, na, no way. The number one before this was Julio Igalesias, Begin the Beguine, and after Bucks Fizz and then Shaky! Don't, well do, forget other number one's in 1982 were by Tight Fit, Goombay Dance Band and Musical Youth! And don't start because I was there too!!

Hey Derek take me with you brother. The 2000s suck.

[@vegasbaby3669]

@Derek A - EXACTLY. I was born in the 70’s, and was a child of the 80’s. And you’re right, songs of this caliber were being released, what seemed to be weekly. For us 80’s kids, it was incredible. And at the same time, we took it for granted. We grew up with this being the norm, so we just naively assumed that’s how music will always be and sound. Then rap music came along and literally ruined everything. Fuck rap, fuck Beyoncé, Rhianna, Bieber, Gaga, Katy Perry, Rhizzo, Adele. None of you are the caliber of our wonderful 80’s artist (and 70’s, and 60’s).

There are two common interpretations of this song. 1. The first is, the woman used the guy to get out of a nowhere life and is now dropping him like a hot rock. 2. The man thinks he owns the woman because he is responsible for her living a new and better life. Thus, he is stalking her and trying to dominate her and control her. Personally, I think both interpretations are correct simultaneously. There are no heroes in this song, only villains.

That eighties sound...wow. Brings back memories; Spandau Ballet, OMD, etc...but this song made me think of the Information Society 'What's on your Mind' for that distinct sound. There was alot of experimentation with different sounds because of the advances in synthesizers and I think it fits plus it's a very 80's colorful video. Oh, and Spock contributes to the song with 'pure energy'.

Together in electric dreams by Giorgio moroder and phil oakey (The human league's lead singer). Its another great tune.

If you can believe Wikipedia: Phillip Oakey was inspired by the film "A Star Is Born" and decided to turn the song into a conflicting duet with one of the band's two teenage female vocalists. Oakey is also at pains to point out another misconception: that it is not a love song, but "a nasty song about sexual power politics." ... Wow, I didn't realize that the two females in the band, Susan and Joanne, were only 17 and 18 when the song was recorded and released, because they look like they're in their early to mid-20s. Obviously, the song is fiction and they are playing parts in the music video, but if the lyrics were true regarding "now five years later on you've got the world at your feet" and "the five years we have had have been such good times" ... that would make Susan around 12 or 13 when she was a waitress in a cocktail bar when Phillip, then 21 and now 26, discovered her. :-)

It's interesting watching someone's first reaction to a song you've known for decades. I never got the murder/suicide vibe that you did from this song. Since he says "Don't forget it's me who put you where you are now, and I can put you back down too." I always felt he was saying "you are only successful/important because I made you that way and if you end our relationship I will take it all away". The woman would lose whatever status he claims to have given her and he would lose her. I always saw the guy as trying to control her and her having outgrown him and their relationship. I feel like the whole song is that he's a spoiled rich guy having a temper tantrum("Don't you want me...I can't believe you won't see me...you better change your mind... you'll be sorry") and her reply is "Yeah I was a waitress but I was always gonna be something better. It's been fun, I still love you but I need to stand on my own now, for me. He just doesn't handle the rejection well. I've seen other commenters have different interpretations so I'll just end it like one of my favorite KZbinrs ends his posts. "It's just a thought.".

That's what I always thought as well. He saw her, made her a star, and then she got very popular and refused to see him anymore. She says she always knew she would become successful with or without him and she while she still loves him, it's time for her to be on her own. I always got manager/lover vibes. He's telling her that he can put her back as a cocktail waitress and take away all her success.

“They did they thang” How do u say that in English? Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

[@babygirl6789]

I wish more people could be open minded to music like you. Great video gurl

[@jenniferbrinegar198]

Omg I saw this and I loved this so much and I have to see your reaction totally was obsessed 😍

[@raymondmoore5476]

I think it was a matter of "I can't live with out you" story. Sadly, there are nuts out there that have this " If I can't have you, no one will" outlook and he falls into that category. Sometimes people grow apart. IF she used him or not, that's for you to determine for yourself. I just don't think so. Did her fame go to her head? Maybe. At the core of it, I just think while she still loves him it is not the kind that say I want to be with you but I love you as a person, a dear friend and for all you done for me and that is just not enough for him. He NEEDS her to love him as he loves her, at least in his mind. Again, "if I can't have you, no one will" comes into mind as his outlook. This is all of course, just my opinion of what the song is saying.

[@s1d299]

It feels like that to me too. I'm just going to point out that he never said anything about killing anybody, only that "we will both be sorry". That is a broad statement which could have different intents behind it. Still, it does give off an uneasy sense of foreboding, dot dot dot...

Or, he was expecting more than her, on a personal level. More of a I did All this for you, you should want me.

straight back there, sitting in front of the TV about ten years old. Enjoy India!

[@randalln.8886]

Good New Wave song❗️Thank you for the reaction. Also, Human and Keep Feeling Fascination are good as well from The Human League.

[@robertmckinnon7003]

No, he's abusive (emotionally) and controlling. She's taking back her life. At the couldn't just say it at the time. The subtext is clear.

[@scottrindal7859]

Great video India. I enjoy how you gently try to tease out the meaning of the lyrics. Also I love New Wave music. Hard now to realize now how strange synthesizers sounded back then. I hope you react to more like this. Especially the operatic "Vienna" by Ultravox or Spandau Ballet - "Gold" or ABC doing "The Look Of Love". Basically any of the hits.

[@bluemoon6625]

I loved watching your shocked expressions as you listened to this song. This was a MASSIVE hit when it was released in the UK, and was guaranteed to fill the dancefloor whenever it was played. I don't think the lyrics are meant to imply murderous intent by the jilted male lover, more that he will find a way to make her sorry, perhaps by sabotaging her career, even if it costs him his own in the process.

[@chemdah]

Good analysis. I used to listen to this as a kid and never really thought about it so much.

[@EzeePosseTV]

I love your reaction to this. I was 7 years old when this song was released, I remember MTV UK/Europe playing it a lot. Yes it is quite a deep song. My favorite Human League songs are Fascination and Open your heart. The male lead singer Philip Oakey went solo and released a song called "Together in Electric Dreams" in 1984-85 as the soundtrack to the movie "Electric Dreams" which was a romantic scifi comedy about a love triangle between a man, woman and a computer. Quite a good song and movie too. You should do a reaction to it, lol

[@fakshen1973]

A little known song from Human League that got radio airplay in England (maybe USA) is "The Lebanon". That's worth a listen. ALSO "Human" by the Human League... which was interestingly enough produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of Janet Jackson fame (Control).

[@the_realistic118]

I don't know why, but I'm feel very happy when I see your videos, you have great power!, you radiate positivity and happiness, please don't leave us, greetings from Mexico!!

[@STVG71]

Fascination needs to be reacted to. My favorite song by them.

[@MissMochaFrap17]

Something about this music video is so hauntingly gorgeous, especially those shots of Phil. This is one of my favorite MVs to watch time and time again!

[@richardnewall4109]

Hi from the UK! I was 19 when this song was first released and I remember it well. What I find interesting is that on the one hand this is an old song for me from my youth and although it's still good, it's part of pop music history. On the other hand, your reaction to listening to it for the first time revitalises it and gives it a new lease of life.

[@shaunpb2279]

just for your channel india loving your content sending are love from the uk

[@djbethell]

Love listening to these songs (from my youth) again through your ears.

[@trigger2225]

Hi India from England, I just love watching you watching these videos, your expressions are top draw 👍❤️ keep them coming

[@fredmila]

Gosh this brings back memories. I was working in the West End at the time this song was released; they were always playing it in the cocktail bars, parties etc. People in the design and music businesses tried to look like the band members.

[@chrisparkes2179]

I've always taken it that his career was on the slide when he met this girl. He saw she had star quality, used his experience to mentor and mould her and what influence he still had in the business to get her the breaks, then he basked in the reflected glory. He probably never gave a thought to what plans she had before they met and assumed she idolised him as much as he idolised himself. Now she's showing herself capable of going it alone and he is making the sort of desperate declarations that people who've become irrelevant make. He "loves her, can't be without her, can ruin her career", she'd "be nothing without" him, she owes him everything. All of which is him not wanting to let go of the second hand glory he gets from being with her. Nothing to do with her as a person, just the world she gives him access to. Then he gets the final kick in the teeth that she used him, sugar coated with the most unconvincing "I still love you" anyone could utter. All he can do is repeat his argument. He has nothing new to say.

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

The Human League are amazing. Saw them live 2 years ago and still brilliant.

[@DBS6567]

and great group btw, loads of great tunes

[@ryanje8147]

I remember this song from the early 80s. It was a huge hit. 👍👍

[@jessicamurk2063]

Such a great 80's song! I still love it 30 years later!
