There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

I am 62 and have tears in my eyes as I listen to this .... remembering back to a different time, a time of my youth. Everything back then was new and exciting. I had energy enough to light New York at night. Life was fun, going out was an experience, and life was full of promise. I was young, good looking, and ready to face the world. ............. I miss those days ............

I was eleven years old when this came out and as a black man of fifty one,I still love it. If a song connects with me I don’t care who it’s by or what colour the artist is or was. A great track is a great track if you feeling it,granted I like so genres more than others but still won’t stop me listening or appreciating good music from artists that are a outside my usual sphere. It’s what is so great about music,the discovery of a track or group that really grabs you,even if it’s not what you are expected to like.Peace and love my to all the music lovers,it will always see us through ❤️🙏🏾👊🏾

It was a friend who really touched my life and gave me the appreciation for humor. His legacy will always live on and every time I hear this song it brings me back to that day and the fact that life is truly short.

I was 9 when this song came out in 1982. I heard it in the grocery store today, and it certainly took me right back to the early ‘80s again. Life was so, so simple back then. I didn’t know it, but my career in computers was about to begin with a Commodore 64 in the wings. Roller rinks, arcades, bowling, hanging with friends in real life for hours till dark…and amazing music like this. I hope kids reading this can enjoy some of that spirit through this song. It’s not easy, but put down the phone and just enjoy the sights and sounds of life and the world around you…time flies!!

So, I was born under the harsh winter skies in December 1981 in Pocatello, ID of all places. This song has always had this strange primordial thing about it for me, as though I came into the world knowing it. It feels that deep down at the base of my brain this was one of the first pieces of recorded music my ears to notice of without any judgement, analysis, or whatnot--just that my ears took notice and has long been acknowledged in my head for some reason. Killer song nonetheless.

When I first got this sheet music my freshman year of high school, I took it to the high school band teacher and ask for help learning to play it (every possible sharp, the whole thing is played on black keys). The teacher took one look at the score, and handed it back to me and said (I KID YOU NOT) "Forget it, nobody can really play that!" It took me months, but I did it, mostly to prove Mr Ellington wrong! :)

As a black kid growing up in the projects I will never forget the October Monday morning in '94 where it was the day of one of my friends' funeral in the grocery store today, and it certainly took me right back to the early ‘80s again. . I had energy enough to light New York at night. This song was on my clock radio as I was waking up and I was just on my clock radio as I was waking up. It was a friend who really touched my life and gave me the appreciation for humor. His legacy will always live on and every time I hear this song it brings me back to that day and the fact that life is truly short. She'll turn 40 on Halloween.

1982 was part of the PEAK of modern civilization. Some would say 1976 till 2000 is the peak since that's POST-Vietnam but PRE-911. However, I would argue it's 1976 till 2014 since it's after Vietnam but a year before all the modern day political crap would begin. So I'm going with 1976 till 2014. However, I would argue that the 1980's is the BEST decade (the vast majority of things are near perfect, with few exceptions) and 1982 truly hits that sweet spot of paradise.
