    This song reminds me of my Dad. The first time I heard it, we were riding together, he says “oh, great song!” and turned it up. Now every time I hear it come on the radio, that’s what I do, turn it up. Miss you Dad 💜

    I was at a lecture/presentation on Steve Winwood's work by a musicologist which was very good and during the Q & A a supposed expert in the audience referred sarcastically to the 80's as Winwood's "lounge singer" period. Forget the weird video and the stuffy clothes, the songs he wrote in the 80's were incredible - so good!. True they were a little more "pop hits" style than the classic improvisational Traffic work of the 60's and 70's - but you can be sure that all the elite talents from the 60's and 70's would have killed to be able to write and perform music as successful as Winwood did in the 80's. There's nothing wrong with commercial success, man! There are trashy, throwaway pop hits and there are classic pop hits and he turned out one great pop song after another in the 80's. Give him a ton of credit for his versatility and genius.

    • @terryhancockroc6560
      @terryhancockroc6560 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Amen to this all!
      From what I remember Steve Winwood was all but wrapped up at this point. By his own admission he was going out with this album-all or nothing. He did all the instruments. Write, composed everything on Arc. The things kids held Kenny Kravitz or Prince up for being a genius 10 years later Here Steve Winwood shared stages and studios with legends and pioneered a lot of this type of music.
      You watch, Stranger Things will get to this song and it'll be the next Running Up That Hill that turns a whole new generation on to this Genius.
      Great memories of this song.
      Love it!

    June 1981. I brought this record during a weekend at the seaside with friends.We never stopped listening to this incredible song. Two days after , I had my written exams for my two degrees, in Law and Political sciences. It went well but , coming back to my parents' home after the session , I had a very serious car accident which left me with my two legs broken. I thought afterwards that I was lucky because I was a survivor ! I spent 3 weeks in a wheelchair and , thereafter, one month and a half with a plaster on the left leg. I spent all summer long in re-education and working the .... 12 topics I had to take for my oral exams, end of September. And I made it ! Guess what ? When I was lacking energy , I was listening to this fabulous song . I was then telling to myself : " Man , while you see a chance take it !". Thanks Stevie, you will always stay in my heart !

Given the high social tensions that affect many if not most countries these days, the 1980's seem like Paradise in retrospect; oh and pop/rock was MUCH BETTER back then as well, and my guess is that if you don't share or can't relate to that general feeling, you hadn't been born yet in the 1980's.

    This song reminds me of my ex wife and me when we first started out - there wasn't anything we couldn't do. We even went overseas when I was in the military. That's when our first child was conceived. We came back and the years went by and we just grew apart unfortunately. But this song always brings back the picture in my mind of the two of us and it hurts, but I still listen.

    I never cared for Steve Winwood's music (radio hits) during the 80's. I was too busy listening to heavy metal and hard rock. Then.....I found Traffic..... and some years later...... discovered Blind Faith and BOOM!!!! here I am. Yeah, you Can teach an old dog new tricks!! You're the man Steve, I just needed to hear where you had come from to see the light!

    • @wmarkfish
      @wmarkfish 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      If you were born much earlier you would have started with Spencer Davis Group and Yardbirds then gone on to Traffic and Cream and might have avoided the Heavy Metal phase. Traffic knew how to play the silent pause as well as blast the amps at the same time. The later Heavy Metal bands were lost on this sophistication and simply filled the air with noise.

    I attended Catholic grade school for a few years and the open overture reminds me of the church services I had to attend even though I wasn't catholic. The song came out at the same time I was graduating and moving on to high school. I will always associate that and the song's upbeat feelings with my youth. I can't stop feeling misty eye and nostalgic whenever I listen to it.

    Steve Winwood was such a teenage prodigy that by 1981, he was already a veteran of 17 years or so in the music business, with a deep and varied catalogue to his name. He had first appeared on the album chart in his own right, with a new studio recording, with a self-titled Island release in 1977. But it was on 10 January, 1981 that his solo career really took wing, with the UK chart debut of Arc Of A Diver.

    Great songs never date. Still sounds modern(whatever that means) Stevie Winwood's voice is golden. The opening chords hook you in and it never lets go. He has one the great Rock voices ever.

      For folks like myself, (guitar player, vocalist) SW leaves it all up for grabs, a nice keyboard rhythm section I must say.

      This song is extremely dated. I wouldn't think it possible without seeing it with my own eyes, but the video is even more dated.

      @@ekscalybur Dated? I don't hear that. Still stands up for me. Contemporary songs of the here and now are more so called dated if they don't stand up to scrutiny of quality rock performances. It's more than a decent song and Winwoods voice carries it off.
