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.

[@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!

[@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 ❤

[@levonpoe]

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

[@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.

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.
