From the 1986 album, Sands of Time. This one didn't chart Hot 100 but peaked at #14 on the R&B chart. Of the four S.O.S. Band albums that Jam & Lewis worked on, this one was most heavily influenced by their sound. It's my favorite of those albums. Love the artwork, too. It reminds me of the Yes album covers.


Borrowed Love

Ok... that was painful to watch
Too much 80's cheese goin' on

Yeah, don't watch - just listen. It's like they thought they could soften all that pink and pastel by putting them in the middle of some concrete. Didn't work.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Can't listen to the song either, it's just way too 80's

Then get out my thread!

What could make me think that I could live on farmer's love?
Now I see that I could never live on farmer's love.

It is a alright song. never knew it had a video! WOW! Man I loved Even When you Sleep and The Finest..wish they had videos too.

I still think "Just The Way U Like It" side A suite was better...waves and birds and sands

What's this you speak of? I know (and love) the song, but what's the suite?

This what you're referring to?

RipHer2Shreds said:

The album.. "Just The Way U Like It" witht he black and gold sand cover.
1. No Ones Gonna Love You
2. Weekend Girl
3. Just The Way You Like It

Man the songs sway in2 eachother through sitars and winds and water like if you were on a beach passing through..its so so beutiful and all three songs are good.

And the video for Just The Way You Like it ..I NEVER SAW THAT

paisleypark4 said:

I like that album a lot, too. I think I just like Sands of Time more. You're right - those flow nicely together. The three best songs on there.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Borrowed Love is hot though. Did u like Nothing But The Best

paisleypark4 said:

I do. The intro drums remind me of a softer version of the Control intro.

It's no secret
How I feel about...you and me
Don't wanna lose the love I found
I'm not crazy
Maybe just in love
Be with me
I'm gonna give you...
Nothing but the best


Cute song. Not deep at all but the production is classic J&L.

Never cared for that one. Of their Jam and Lewis work, I mainly like "Just Be Good To Me", "Just The Way You Like It" and "For Your Love". I prefer their music before Jam and Lewis.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I don't know this one. It's on what album?

deja vu

Borrowed Love wasn't a bad song it was just too much like
the others. They had already run their course imo with just
be good to me. That's why i think people kind of just snooze
at it when you talk about it now. Even when you sleep and
No lies were the gems on this album. I actually felt Just the
way you like it was their best album.

I think a lot of people feel they'd run their course by this album, but I still love it. This wasn't my fave song on there (Even When You Sleep and The Finest are), but I like it. Don't care much for No Lies at all really. It's pretty repetitive and the rhythm guitar in the middle of the song is taken right from Take Your Time.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I gotta listen to that song again, I havent paid it much attention...but Rip, I have to give it to you I never listen to the second side of Just The Way You Like It, Break Up is aiight...but not enough to really get me in2 it. SAnds Of Time is the heat too. The weeks turn in2 months

LittleAmy said:

GOD I have to hear Nothin But The BEst when i get home now

RipHer2Shreds said:

That's true about no lies being a little repetitive but it sounds amazing.
It has more life than borrowed love. If you see S.O.S live now, they open the
show with a bang performing No Lies and Mary Davis saaangs the hell out of it.
It is their funkiest tune behind Take your time.

phunkdaddy said:

I saw them live last year and they did not perform that tune. Too bad. Maybe I would have liked it more live. That said, it was still a very good show. Mary still sounds excellent. It was a packed show, too! I had a good time.
