Good song, too bad Wayne Wonder ruined it on his remake.

I know it's stupid, but when the song started playing, I thought it was the Thompson Twins, since it sounds so much like the original. I was wondering why the heck they were playing an 80s song on the show. But as they got to the chorus, I realized it was a remake. (My radio was on at a low tone level, so that's why I didn't realize that right away).

One thing I noticed - the song lacks the falsetto part near the end (in the original Thompson Twins version, Tom Bailey, during the chorus, was singing lines like "Hold me in your loving arms", "warm my cold and tired heart").

Too poppy, know what I mean. I liked it when I first saw the video then it got overplay like it is now on a bunch of 80s stations local, national, or satellite. I wanna hear Wayne Wonder's version but I better drink some water first....

Cute, kind of in the middle for me though from an overall standpoint of their songs though.

Great song, I love the production, the clean, crispy, delicate, elegant sound in the verses. Nice melody. Overall an 80s jam, my favorite by far from the TT.

I love this. "Lies" is still my favorite of theirs, but this is close.

One of my favorites by them. It makes me feel very nostalgic about that time period.

My favorite Thompson Twins song. I heard it as an 80s flashback on 101.9 the Mix and 100.3 when I was younger.
