    When I heard this on Miami vice I got sad because I would’ve loved to live in a time where people were happy and lively and had great music and movies and had a cool culture now this life is messy and I always dream of living life back then. The music was pure and real too.

    The 80s left a taste in my mind for music and lyrics that can never be replaced.
    Yes, a lot of Miami Vice episodes helped launch these songs into orbit.
    Back then, the television was our computer and cell phone.
    I remember when Friday Night Videos came on through the air and not cable, because we lived in the country.
    You were lucky to have a soda pop, and if you had some peanuts and a radio nearby you were in heaven.
    We had to drive to the mall, pretty far, to buy a cassette tape of your desire.
    Things are just so instant and fast now and it makes me want to go back.
    I remember the first time I heard Mike and the Mechanics, Silent Running, I was stone cold hooked.
    Funny how the instruments and lyrics are used by Phil Collins on his hits.
    Hope everyone is doing ok.

    This song takes me back to my first love from back in the day. She grew apart, I never did. In the end, I had to let go, but my heart never really did. I heard from her a few years later. She actually called before she left the continent. Now she's on the other side of the planet living her dream. Sometimes, at sunset, just before the last limb of the sun disappears below the horizon, I sing a few lines from this song. When you rise over her land, take my love with you great Sol and give it to her. Let her know I'll be waiting here for so long. Par avion.

    To see me through
    Another day in paradise
    But there's no reason, there's no rhyme
    Without you
    Here comes the night (night)
    Here comes the dreaming of you
    Breathing your love in me
    Here comes the night (night)
    Here comes the feeling I've been
    Waiting here for so long
    I've been waiting here for so long
    There's a time and there's a place
    When we can share the silver night
    Silent room
    In my bed an empty space
    'cause there's no other in my life
    Only you
    Here comes the night (night)
    Here comes the dreaming of you
    Breathing your love in me
    Here comes the night (night)
    Here comes the feeling I've been
    Waiting here for so long
    I've been waiting here for so long
    Here comes the night

    I first heard this on KKSF - Smooth Jazz 103.7 in San Francisco, back when San Francisco was a lovely clean safe city...way back in the day. That was such a nice radio station. They had a Smooth Jazz event on Angel Island one day...that was such an nice day to take a ferry to the island and listen to Smooth Jazz all day. Happy people, happy music. Life was perfect that day....

    When I hear this song, I picture a person who has lost the love of his/her life. Lying in bed allows time for reflection and the feeling of deep loss, maybe wishing that tonight will be the night the two are finally reunited either in dreams or in death. Too deep? Sorry, it's just what I believe.

      I hear you bro. This song was played by me I think over and over one night in 1989 when I was deeply troubled by life. It helped me calm down then and every time I hear this song, salt water wells in my eyes to quote Julian Lennon. Peace to you bro and all of you who were growing up in the 80s.

      +MiamiViceRocks1 I totally agree with you, except for some of the questionable fashion trends; i.e. mullets, jeri curls, spandex, excessively short shorts. Lol. Even as child I remember thinking WTF? But other than that, it was the greatest decade ever! And yes, 1984 was a landmark year. That's when we first got cable and if I wasn't watching my cartoons or other favorite shows (V, Miami Vice, The A-Team), it was all about MTV. I remember that year like it happened yesterday and I was only in first grade. If you ever happen to come across a time machine, please let me know. I'd give anything to go back and get out of this horrible decade/century.
