My dad was tragically taken from me on the 30th of April 2020 in a car crash. He adored level 42, he has kept all his ticket stubs and book. He must of seen them over 50 times. The music is the only thing making me feel close to him.

What a masterpiece this song has travelled with me through the years I am 56 now but I still feel like that teenager listening to this

The music these guys made was pure class. Enjoying this masterpiece in 2024!

Sensacional!!!! Tem mais algum Brazuca por aqui?!!🇧🇷 Em março de 2023? Então estamos juntos na mesma nostalgia!! Curte aí!!

The one thing I hate about getting older is that it takes me further and further away from the 80s, those wonderful teenage years

I was a teenager when this was in the charts. I use to listen to this on my cassette recorder in my bedroom. 😂 80’s music is the best 👍🏻

Alguien la escucha en 2024, éramos felices en los 80, 90 ..

A truly brilliant 80s classic from the Isle of Wight's finest!! The Isle of Man had the Bee Gees and the Isle of Wight had these fine chaps!! 🙂🙂

How did this not reach number 1 in the UK charts? What a fantastic song.

It's this type of music that you can play over and over again. 80s generation music is the best

Level 42 was the first band I heard on a Walkman in 1985....and it blew me away! Classic tunes ❤.

I once read that the "clown" here represents the "problems/discussions" on a relationship, that are always there and if they're not faced, they can lead to an end... But at the end they did so 🙌

Beautiful and incredible times, being a teenager bang smack in the middle of the 80's was a privilege.

Is it just me? When I hear certain songs, it takes me back to happy times in my life, can even smell how it was at that point. This phenomenon has to be the closest thing we have to time travel, I need it so badly it breaks my heart

Level 42 are not a band.they are a time travel machine transporting one to unimaginable places. The sounds they gave us ignited in us our sense of good . Brilliant

One of the greatest popsongs ever written. Pure talent and skill.

The older I get, the more amazed I get by the talent and maturity that artists such as this displayed as very young men. It makes me glad for them and sad for myself.

No decade will ever top the 80's!!!

My Mum loved Level 42 when I was a kid and because of her I was exposed to so much cool tracks from the 80s (I'm 43) into the 90's. She died five years ago and I'm looking back on these tracks and buying the best Of Albums as memories of our time together! This is going to be the next one! Recently purchased Tears For Fears and Depeche Mode. 😊

The 80s is & always will be the best decade

Of all the 80s bands there is something about Level 42s music which makes me feel particularly nostalgic. Really takes me back

I cry whenever I hear this. I'm a 90's kid and both my parents were Level 42 fans so I heard this a lot as a kid. Reminds me of simpler and happier times

Forever Young in 2024 💯🎶🥳

The bass on this is so groovy, the structure of the song is perfect. I have been listening to it almost non stop for weeks

i am 47 ,,,,, nearly ...... these guys remind like it was yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please wake me up and let it be the 80s ................. and do it all again.. quality times ..... brilliant music x

How how can it be that a love Carved out of caring fashioned by fate Could suffer so hard From the games played much too often But making mistakes is a part Of life's imperfections Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all (Oh drawn into the stream) (Of undefined illusion) (Those diamond dreams) (They can't disguise the truth) That there is something about you Baby so right I wouldn't be without you Baby tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things And a perfect dream of life Gone, fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love, it's not so wrong We're only human after all (Oh these changing years) (They add to your confusion) (Oh and you need to hear the time) (That told the truth) Because there's something about you (And now the way you are tonight) Baby so right I couldn't live without you (I couldn't live without you) Baby tonight! (Here tonight) Yeah (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) And now there's something about you (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Yeah Yeah And I couldn't live without you (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) To night

Young men from 80's thinking about the future: "The future should be something wonderful"; Young men that was born in 80's and now are living in the nowaday: "Oh my God, how I did want with all my heart to back to the 80's!".

Mais alguém em 2024 ❤

I only have one thing to say - if you want to get back to that 80's feeling, Level 42 got your back! X)

R.I.P. Boon Gould......Thank you for all the wonderful music xx

Hard to choose a bad song of Level 42. This one was the 1st one I ve Heard from them when I was a teen in France, that was it Level 42 have been in my life since then. Great band.

Level 42 was and is still 1 of the Best 80’s music band!!! 👍👍👍👍 They made great hits, this 1 of them!! 🎸👍❤️

This is Level 42’s best song, the way its composed is brilliant

Lovely Cherie Lunghi, she's still beautiful today. RIP Boon, you were brilliant.

Uma das melhores músicas da década de 1980, e ver Mark King cantar e estourar aquele baixo com todas aquelas linhas legais enquanto canta. Como outros aqui notaram, não é uma tarefa fácil. E ele consegue isso sem esforço. Lembro-me de quando isso foi um sucesso. O sol brilhava muito mais forte naquela época.

I was born in 1986 and have been hearing this song my whole life. Finally woke up today and couldn't get it out of my head, it's like the first time I've ever really heard it. A very beautiful song

Mark King is absolutely mesmerizing. Unforgettable song of the 80s.....

Mark King's performance in this video is incredible. His reactions and expressions are terrific. The guy would make a great actor.

This was just a pop song when I was a kid... Now it's a whole lifetime of memories.....❤️

This is absolute class. From the arrangement to way it drifts elegantly from the start the end without really letting you know, you can just keep replaying as a continous soundtrack for the perfect day

I saved up my pocket money, which was 50p a week in 1985, and went and bought this on 12''....me and my best mate Chris used to sing this and play our 'bass guitar' tennis rackets.....we were 13! Great times! I told Mark King this when I met him at a Football charity event at The Grosvenor hosted by David Beckham. Mark was brilliant and had all the time in the world to chat.....wasnt allowed to have a photo coz I was working....gutted! I LOVE LEVEL 42!!

Wish I knew then that the guy I sat next to, when at Cowes high school on, the isle of Wight... Would go on to make such great songs like this and many others.. Still see Mark out and about, to this day..and have a laugh about life, back in the day. Nice bloke Mark King.

Grande Level 42 !!!! E viva os anos 80 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🤩😍

Os incríveis anos 80! Uma produção interminável de sucessos...

I would say the bass player made a significant contribution to making this song a legend.

I'm 53,...listening to these massive songs from the 80's reminds me of wonderful times, no Corona can erase!!

Q vontade d voltar no tempo, q saudade dos anos 80 e 90. Ouvir MÚSICAS como essa dessa banda maravilhosa LEVEL 42 nos reportam d uma maneira única. Meus parabéns e agradeço por talentos genuínos como esses 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If I close my eyes I’m a teenager again. 80’s was the best decade with the best music I’ve seen Level 42 several times over the years. If you’ve not seen them and get an opportunity to see them GO!!

1986 - this song is awesome! 2019 - this song is awesome!

*This song is TIMELESS, and still rocks in 2023 !*

Whenever I hear level 42 it always takes me back to the 80s and being on the beach on a hot summers day.

Ruim de envelhecer é que cada ano a década de 80 fica mais distante,como tinha músicas e bandas pra curtir que marcaram nossas vidas pra sempre, obrigado meu Deus por curtir essa maravilha

I was born in '82 but I vividly remember this being played regularly on the radio as I was growing up, and absolutely LOVING it (along with their other songs) They just seemed to have such a special sound to me... ❤

This is the song that made me fall in love with Level42 back in 1986... I was 12yo and then when i discovered their first albums i was astonished by their funky-fusion instrumental roots... they are my favourite all-time band and imho the most underrated talents in music history. Long live Level42

*Born in '72! The 80's and the 90's were the best two decades of my life and i'm sure in your minds, too!!* *Celebrate these decades!!!*

Someone in 2034, listening to this...🔥🙌

Because it´s something about you!!!!..... Best song of Level 42!!!..... I used to sing this song to my girlfriend!!.. Now is my wife!!

Man, Mark King should be actor in the 80s. His acting in this Clip is so good.

"Something About You" is a timeless pop classic that captivated audiences upon its debut in 1985 by the British band Level 42, featuring a remarkable fusion of synth-pop, jazz, and funk elements. Mark King, the lead singer, delivers soulful vocals while effortlessly showcasing his unparalleled skill with the bass guitar. The song's irresistible groove, catchy melodies, and heartfelt lyrics combine to create a euphonic masterpiece that has stood the test of time and continues to bewitch listeners worldwide to this day.

The essence of the 80s is this song and those synthesized choruses and arrangements.

Oh how I miss the 80's. Such good music around, spoilt for choice.

Mark King & the Level 42 band. Best ever from the 80's!

Transports me back to my teenage years and all the people i remember at the time . Memories of mates and girlfriends that you lost touch with . Long summer days and everything was carefree and easier . Take me back

The ever best song and clip of the band. What a perfection, from instruments to vocals. All songs of Level42 are wonderful and timeless.💎

É unânime que a década de 80 foi de ouro para a cultura mundial!! Incrível o poder e influência das obras primas produzidas naquela época onde nem se imaginava a tecnologia de hj!! Obrigado Deus obrigado anos 80

[Verse 1: Mark King] How, how can it be that a love Carved out of caring, fashioned by fate Could suffer so hard From the games played once too often? But making mistakes Is a part of life's imperfections Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all? [Pre-Chorus] Drawn into the stream Of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams They can't disguise the truth [Chorus] That there is something about you Baby so right I wouldn't be without you baby tonight [Verse 2: Mark King] If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things And a perfect dream of life Gone, fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love It's not so wrong We're only human after all [Pre-Chorus] These changing years They add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear The time that told the truth [Chorus] Because there's something about you Baby so right I couldn't be without you Baby tonight I know there's something about you Baby And I couldn't live without you Tonight

I was born in 82 I wish I was born in 62 so I could have enjoyed the 80’s

My three favourite songs of all time in no particular order… It’s my Life Talk Talk, Something about you Level 42 and Head over Heels Tears for Fears

How, how can it be That a love carved out of caring Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard From the games played once too often But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all? Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams, they can't disguise the truth That there is something about you, baby, so right I wouldn't be without you, baby tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things and a perfect dream of life (gone) fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love And it's not so wrong, we're only human after all These changing years, they add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth That there is something about you, baby so right Don't want to be without you, baby tonight Because there's something about you, baby, so right I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight And that there's something about you, yeah And I couldn't be without you, tonight

Remember when this came out and didn't take that much notice at the time, but I am now catching up again with L42 and have watched this several times and realise what a clever video it is. Probably their best one. MK genius as ever.

Hell yes.. what a jam still in 2024.. unforgetable music, sadly never to be repeated. Kids these days will just never understand what great music they missing out.. just listening to today's bubble gum music. Gone are days where we listened to music that meant something and never got stale. ❤

Listening to this I remembered that when this was played on radio I was just a 7-8 years kid . Life was so simple and beautifull then . No worries , no time running away ... I miss those times!

Esta música nunca pasará de moda, han pasado 34 años. Hermosa canción y muy buen grupo. 🇬🇧 🇨🇱❤️

No other music will come close to this amazing decade, by far the best musicwise and I feel so damn lucky to have lived thru those years, tons of good memories that forever will be part of Me ♥

39 years old and still sounds great ❤

Level 42 had some classic singles mid 80s "Leaving me now" "Lessons in love" and this gem "Something about you" classic 😎👍.

This film clip is genius. Just utterly stunning. The song is of course amazing. But so many cool things going on. They don’t make em like this anymore. Utter genius

RIP BOON GOULD !! YOU WERE PART OF A BRILLIANT BAND !! MAKING LOTS OF HITS IN HEAVEN!!! GODBLESS

its still sounds awesome after 38 years, way back from 1985!!

Como foi dito e eu concordo, que os anos 80 foram quando surgiram, na minha opinião as melhores bandas e musicas, inesquecíveis como esta.

"But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfections" is one of the truest lyrics i have ever heard.

Amazing song and video,Cherie Lunghi was the icing on the cake❤️

I wish I could go back because I don't know about anyone else but I don't like these days and living in these times, they seem like they were better days back then. Take me back!

Thats Cheri Lunghi, i fancied her so much in the manageress. As a tune, it makes me emotional. Long story, but my uncle who was my replacement father figure introduced me to level 42 and world machine. It has an extra meaning and significance.

RIP Boon Gould, one of the most iconic songs of the 80s was "something about you". I saw Level 42 live at Wembley Arena in 1987, when this song came on the place was jumping. Why don't they make music like this anymore?

Até hoje essa música mexe comigo ,adoro ,muito linda.

今もメチャクチャかっこいい

This song takes me back to the glorious 80s - what a decade ❤❤

I love the band Level 42. Reminds of good memory of youth! I was 22 years old at the time. Great band and great music! Oh yes!

I got to live at my nans house 1986 cause i was exspeld from school... my 17 yr old aunt was looking out for me... took me everywhere with her... my sound track in my mind is the 80s through and through... love you maureen 😙

Essa é mais uma pra ouvir na estrada e nos levar a outra dimensão

The sound produced is lovely🎶🎶🎵🎵👍👍

One of the greatest classic tracks that's forgotten by many people, who've obviously never had great taste for music.

Saturday night in listening to Level 42. What more could I ask?

tenho memórias mto boas com essa música,quando meus pais me buscavam na escola a noite e o rádio tocando as melhores…bons tempos q n voltam!

Only a tune like this - original, melodic, great vocals, with a captivating use of various instruments, can be considered an 80's tune.

That wandering bass of Mark King is freakin phenomenal

*_Há alguém aqui escutando essa música maravilhosa em 2023?_* 👏👏👏😍♥️😊👍👍👍👍👍

This has always been (and still is) one of my most favourite ever songs by Level 42... such a fantastic 80's band, I've been a massive fan of them and all their music right since the beginning. Mark King is an absolute awesome bassist, and I love the way his voice sounds, too!

Sinto uma mistura de nostalgia, tristeza e alegria ouvindo estas músicas felicidade em ter vivido um pouco dessa época em que éramos felizes e não sabíamos agora ficou só as lembranças de uma época que não volta mais
