Wouldn't it be good - Nik Kershaw

I’m 53 and still love this great 80’song never will get tired of this song ❤😊

Music of your youth... who could possibly blame you?

Indeed......It feels good.

[@jacquelineengel2464]

Yup. But it still feels so relevant!!?? Why is that?

[@jgn2112]

"I don't wanna be here no more. I don't wanna be here no more." As a kid who grew up in the 80s, I couldn't agree more.

[@lovelygirl10158]

There is a never better time than the 80s. So many memories. ❤

The 80's was pop culture heaven.

[@sonofagroove]

This song is now officially 40 years old and having heard it randomly today in a Trader Joe's in LA I realize it more perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being in your 40s in the year 2024 than Mr. Kershaw could have ever imagined.

[@dodge-jo4oc]

I randomly heard this song today in a truck stop coming home from work I almost didn't stop there but decided to anyway although they didn't have what I wanted the fact that I got to hear a small bit of this beloved classic definitely made the stop worth it this was a song I completely forgot about but love love love very much. Still rocking Nik Kershaw in 2024 baby.

[@blastomaticdisel6189]

Heard this song yesterday while leaving Red Lobster. Reminds you of all the great music that helped make the 80s.

[@naj70]

A super market (feel good in aisle 6) staple - heard it in Publix yesterday afternoon…

[@daisygrl72]

Was reminded of this song while playing Song Pop this a.m. I really liked this song in Pretty In Pink. It was just one of those songs you sang while watching the movie for the zillionth time.

[@windhammer1237]

40 years huh, can it have been that long already? I suppose so. The world seemed so different then, but I was just a child and so very naieve about everything. Well at least I'm young enough to know that everything taught to me was a lie and I'm not too old to do something about it. Hahaha!

[@WilliamLooper-lk3pg]

I'm pushin 60 and this song t as takes me back 2 tha good old days 80s

[@jennielott1458]

When I discovered this song in the 90s, I was blown away that 80s music could be that "deep" and profound. As a grunge loving 90s music kid, we all thought 80s music was vapid and silly. Oh were we wrong....lol Now I know better...thank you Nik ❤

[@nealnc07]

The 80's have the best songs!! The English bands really made some great music. I love this song too.

[@DJMetzler337]

I was born in ‘83 and am obsessed with this song. It literally gives me goosebumps. I love all the instruments used.

[@user-zp6rr7ry9h]

The 80's needed this song today!

[@erika8214]

I love this song and “Pretty In Pink.” Thank you, Nik for this! Part of me wishes I could freeze the ‘80s.

[@hiko73]

NK was SO underrated

[@henrilouisecarter2777]

The words really resonate with me when I'm severely depressed. I play it over and over.

[@terenceayer337]

This song will always be a part of my memories of younger days.....👍👍

[@GhostlyFilm]

I’m 26 and this song defined a large portion of my childhood

[@Melissa-jl7bw]

Gonna be 55 March 18th! Miss the fuck outa the 80’s!!! This song sums up how I feel about this hellish shit show if the country now🤯🤦🏼‍♀️

[@1amfree]

I'll be 55 June 30th! 🎉 I love being snatched back in time. ☺️💗🎵

Just turned 51. I often wish I could go back. The music was definitely better.

So good to hear this again. I was in my young 20s. MTV was new. In fact the whole world seemed new.

[@michaelmoore1386]

Love this classic. They sounded good at Live Aid too.

[@paulvazquez2879]

Listen to this song. It's sung in a two person perspective. One person wants to live in a different person's shoes and the other person is telling them that they don't want to be in their shoes cause that person wants out of their own shoes.

[@FINNEGANAGENNIF]

Brilliant! Overlooked classic. Never has video and music have meshed better. An awesome achievement!

[@keyventusjaguaraladejana3184]

One of the 80s songs of all time.

[@arielspalter7425]

Haven’t heard this song since grade 1 or 2. Besides being emotional right now, this is a brilliant song, musically speaking. Amazing chord progressions. You can hear that craftsmanship of real musicians.

I liked this song in the eighties but after listening to it again I realised what a sad song it really is 😢

[@DorkThink]

This song resonated at age 13 and still hits at my heart for the truth in it. ✨

that song helped get me through a rough time. Thanks, Nik for it. ah, the power of music!!

Classic 1980s love! Great song! 🎵 ❤

[@ethanporter1]

One of the greatest videos ever made. An even better song.

[@ancientofways]

Still loving this song. Thanks Nik.

[@MrDKStud]

I’m not sure if Nik could have possibly known how this song allowed me to feel my emotions as a teen being abused almost daily. Over 40 years later it still allows me to release emotions related to complex PTSD suffered throughout my life. The recent healing merges with the memory of those who bullied and abused me and allows me to remember that those days are no longer present. It reminds me that I can show my emotion in a safe place…..finally without repercussion. It reminds me of my growth. It allows me to revisit my pain and appreciate that someone felt as desperate and lonely as myself but never gave up and kept fighting. I love this song so much.

[@floridapmi]

I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you've got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fiber My broken spirit is frozen to the core I don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? Wouldn't it be good to be on your side? The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care? You must be joking You don't know a thing about it You've got no problem I'd stay right there if I were you I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard I got it Stay out of my shoes If you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside The sweat is coming through each and every pore I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? Ooh-ooh-ooh Wouldn't it be good to be on your side? The grass is always greener over there Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care? I got it bad You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you've got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should I don't want to be here no more I don't want to be here no more

This song has a lot of meaning. We need to see things from both sides.

[@stormphoenix14]

I loved this since I first heard it come out on the late night Video Rock show. This song is still perfect and the video still matches the vibe of the space visitor who absorbs and reflects the traumas of everyone he meets until it drives him to flee. I always hoped it meant he’s returned home at the end.

[@JC-UTube]

If the sax 🎷 player is reading these comments, then kudos 👏 to you. That solo at the very end was a masterpiece.

[@heatherkandrick1191]

A staple from the 80’s and such a great song!! Also when videos had a story to them ❤❤❤and taste.

[@buddrossi6451]

I remember a station in Houston, TX that used to play this a good deal in the late 80s and early 90s, and I just fell in love with it then and it's now a great 80s jam song for me. Excellent tune.
