Yep. The cliche that modern music is terrible is finally true. Most modern pop music is unlistenable trash and people put up with it because most of them have no idea what music is supposed to be like.

After I graduated high school, mid 1980s, my parents split up. I moved out into an apartment with a coworker (platonic female, she ended up having a different guy over every night - trainwreck). Newly diagnosed type-1 diabetic. Never had a girlfriend then. Working crap-tons of hours at 2 restaurants earning little more than minimum wage ($3.35/hr then) to pay for insulin, rent, car payment, and car insurance. Life was falling apart. I was driving home from my night job, depressed as hell, seriously considering ending it with and O.D. of insulin. This song came on the radio. Blared it, balled my eyes out, 35 years later here I am.

In case no one's commented on it yet, here's a little history of this hauntingly memorable song... Mick Hucknall, the singer and lyricist for Simply Red, wrote this song when he was 16 and living with his strict and sometimes abusive father. Hucknall's mother left him and his father when he was 3 years old and he spent a lifetime missing her. That's what the lyrics "strangled by the wishes of pater; hoping for the arms of mater" refer to. The rest of the song is a look back at his childhood from the perspective of an adult, realizing that he's been shaped by the past but can't go back and change it. Pretty complex thoughts and feelings for a 16 year old kid, and I don't think Hucknall matched it in any other song he wrote. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.

I wasn't ready to see my age group being generally disrespected by younger generation; being referred to as a "boomer" in internet comments is demeaning. I always thought I'd feel young into old age because I didn't indulge in bad habits for most of my life. Then a terrible tragedy happened --my son was shot and killed. About a year later I began to notice the political and social conflicts that are undeniable now. I wonder if this is how life has been in the past for everyone-- watching energy, health, optimism all fading away? Or is it different now, are we going through a different progression into this stage of life? is it because we can see a potentially dismal future for those who we'll be leaving behind? Sorry to hear that your situation is even more of a challenge. I hope you have respite from pain and worry. My heart goes out to you.

@@ramonaestrada601 Hi Ramona, so sorry for your loss, and he sounded like he was a cool grandad too. Last year I was babysitting my 3 grandkids aged between 9 and 12. I pulled out my 80s cds for them to listen to and my 11 year old grandaughter said "Music on discs? Nana, don't you know about Spotify?" But, the joke's on her - when I was going to get rid of my oldish hifi, she asked if she could have it as she'd bought herself some cds with her birthday money, lol. However, It must be very stressful for you being on your own in the midst of this pandemic. especially as you, like myself are at high risk due to age, etc. I'm very lucky that in UK, the government asked all 2.2 million people like myself who were high risk, to stay at home, and are being given help with basic weekly food parcels, and they also arranged for me to have access to priority online shopping for other essentials - with no minimum spend or delivery fees. I've watched a lot of US news on the virus, and other events unfolding, and it seems that trump has completely dismissed the serious of the virus, but, on BBC news, both the UK and US were part of a trial on Remdesavir as a potential drug, and now that the trial was successful, he's "purchased" almost the full amount available to the worldwide market for himself. A UK specialist who worked on it was interviewed and explained when countries collaborate, the success is shared between them, he was visibly upset at what's happened. trump obviously doesn't believe in sharing - but I guess we all knew that. Please stay safe Ramona, and all my very best, Karon xxx

Music my parents used to listen to that I hated I love now. I listen to The Rolling Stones, the Allman Bros, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd with a new appreciation. My dads gone now but listening to his favorite musicians brings me such great memories of him and living in the 80’s and 90’s. So blessed to have been raised during this time period.

OMG your comment about how much better older music like this is compared to more current popular music is 100% on target. The art of writing a moving song, writing powerful lyrics and giving a simple & emotional performance is so hard to find these days. The focus on technology and formula makes most contemporary music too predictable and monotonous. There are exceptions, yes, but the vastly greater richness, originality, honesty and depth of so much of the music from the 60's - '80's is undeniable. Thank you for your commitment to this music.

Back in 1986 I was sitting with my fiance when this song came on. Contemplated the issue of a wasted life trying to live up to another's expectations that didn't really match mine anymore all through the song. Stood up, told her goodbye, and left. I regretted how heartless it seemed, but never regretted the decision. It was still kinder than dragging her through a slow painful breakup or a miserable life. She deserved better than what we would have had with a man that didn't want to be there.

Mick wrote and performed this song when he was 17. Mick made two R&B hits when it had faded from Pop radio. "If you don't know me by now" and "You make me feel brand new". I think those two songs really got people thinking about how good R&B music is.
