If they had any idea how much they touched my life. Helped me through some rough times through my teenage years into adulthood. Now my teenage boys are fans. My 14 year old son plays piano quite well. Shout out to all of Howard’s die hard fans. Where does the time go....❤️

I've looked a very long way down these comments without seeing a negative. And that I find is pretty rare. It is a very distinctively unusual song - brooding and grumbling verse with unpredictably inventive chord changes, that unexpectedly bursts seamlessly into one of the the most joyous and heartwarming extended hooks in pop history for the chorus.

@KaitainCPS 4 жыл бұрын

@@cinnamongirl7877 another great song I've added to my 'Pandemic Playlist' is the song Memories by Maroon 5. The lyrics are amazing and the melody is based on Johann Pachelbel's Canon & Guige in D who is listed in the song writing credits. The lyrics just about tears me up thinking of family and friends living and past.

Thank you for that recommendation Andrew. If it weren’t for music, I’d be lost.... not just during this pandemic but in my entire life. Please pull up Ah Ha’s “Take on Me”..... the solo acoustic version. It will take you back in time. That song used to be the big dance song but listening to this particular version.... it brings tears. I don’t know your taste in music but lately, I’ve been listening to a lot from the folk genre. If you’ve never listened to Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park, please watch. I don’t see how ANYONE could not enjoy it. I believe it was around 1981. I was the youngest of five siblings so I was taught well when it came to music. I can remember being around seven years old and just knowing that “The Sound of Silence” was very special. I still adore that era of music. Enjoy!!!!😉😉

Two great musicians and probably close friends! Such a warm welcome and what a surprise from the audience. You both still have the same expression and voice as you did years ago when you rocked my time; and you are still in the hearts of OUR NEW AGE TIME THX FOR ALL!!!

I don't know if it's just me but now that I have nearly reached 50 I find this version of this song just brilliant and the perfect way to escape back to the 80's with these 2 legends (Nik and Howard) playing nothing more than the guitar and piano. Don't make them like this anymore.

Thank you guys for that performance! I loved hearing this stripped and slowed down. It revealed a whole new song to me, even though I’m 50 and have been hearing it most of my life. What wonderful chords! Great arrangement!

Yes and it woulda been nice if the cameraman captured those chords on screen

Howard Jones being a true gentleman and artist playing a simple piano so Nik Kershaw shines.

This song came out when I was a few weeks old. Utter incredible as are a lot of 80’s songs. But this is just incredible. Love 80’s music (unlike the noise u hear today).

You know a song's good when it's stripped down like this and stays interesting. I've read the appreciative comments from those born in the 70s. I was born in the 50s and The Beatles were my teenage background and having a longer perspective and a pantheon of greats to compare I hold that Nik is up there with the greatest songwriters these shores have produced. Another solo UK tour please Nik (and a bit of Prog would be nice).
