This is one of those song's that I cannot get enough of, ("Suddenly Last Summer", by the Motels and "Breakout" by Swing out sister, being the other three). All three just have this haunting feel to them, that give me chills every time I listen to them.

headbang I love this song! I always say that 1983 was one of the greatest years for pop music.It's astonishing how many cool songs we had that year.

Killer bass line on this one.

Blanche: Oh, I do love the rain so! It reminds me of my first kiss.
Dorothy: Awww, your first kiss was in the rain...
Blanche: No, it was in the shower.

THAT'S one reason why it's a synth-classic! nod

Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur (RIP 1971-1996) & Michael Jackson (RIP 1958-2009)

2 men that had their lives taken away the moment they were speaking out AND rebelling against the dark side of the music industry once too often.

Spot on picks, my friend! These are 3 of my faves as well particularly the Motels song which even back then (I was 10!) struck me as wonderfully odd and special..especially the middle portion of the song. Video is sorta eerie as well.

From 1981-86 were golden years for music, especially during the summers.

Thanks, I guess it's about how they use the chords in these songs. "Suddenly, last summer"'s use of minor chords is just, NUTS!!, especially then ending...
