I'm the same age as you and feel the same way. They're my favourite ever band and out of 9 times out of ten if I give them a listen, I have to play this track and think positively about the future - it's a kind of personal therapy for me! It's funny, I know every single track that they've done and love 98% of them but this has a special place for me in it's feel of wonderment.

Timeless and one of Level 42s greatest. Blew me away in 81 and couldn't stop playing it.
I was 14 in 1981. My oldest brother came home and played this record. I was fascinated by this song, and have always been since then. Fourty years ago that was. I missed my brother then and still miss him today. Being close to him, that's what I was looking for then and am still today. I lifelong yearning for being close to him. But I have understood that I will never get close to him as long as he and I live. This song reminds me so much of him, and of my yearning for being close to him. How I miss him.

Of all their brilliant songs, this one song stands out as a very rare gem, it somehow captures their unique blend of pin sharp funky instrumentals that works perfectly with the dreamy melody and lyrics. Not so typical of the genre and period, with many songs laced with sleaze and corny macho attitude headlining the charts. The early Level 42 were much more than Mark King thumping out typical bass signatures, more than the typical Brit Jazz funk riff going over the top. They were a cracking band of master craftsmen until their snap and crackle got very soggy after drinking too much commercial pop.

Great music from new bands like Level 42 helped many disillusioned early ‘80s teenagers dream about a better life than the pathetic realities and the few opportunities made available to us in that Thatcher and the ‘get on yer bike’ Michael Tebbit era. God help you if we’re a black school leaver with the dreaded police breathing down your neck and looking to pulverise you just for breathing! The hardcore institutionalised racism of the times was the reality that you simply shut up and put up with in your struggle to become an inspiration and a believable role model that many lost black kids were desperately seeking.
