blast from the past - LEVEL 42

Salam and good day,

I was browsing for songs to use in my critical thinking class when I stumbled across Level 42 - Something About You.... needless to say, I was immediately transported back to the 80s. I have forgotten how much I love this song...
No matter what others might say, I love the 80s... for me, it is the best decade for music with Level 42, Culture Club, George Michael, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, the Pet Shop Boys, Wham, Cindy Lauper, Maddonna, Johnny Hates Jazz, Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, Tina Turner, and rock bands like Van Halen who actually had an album titled 1984, and Bon Jovi's Slipperry When Wet, Def Leppard's Hysteria and Prince's Purple Rain ,to name a few.

and, this particular song is deeply moving and mellow and nostalgic. it magically transported me back to the 80s, rummaging record shops looking for the single, running to the common room to watch Top Of The Pops... and it still sounds so good.  Enjoy.
