God .... What a great time !... Great song ! I'm so glad I lived in the 80s . When America was without cell phones ... it was Great ! Kids today , and tomorrow will never understand or have that again .
"Mistakes are a part of lifes imperfections." My favorite verse in this song, It never gets old listening to this song. Such great memories I have of this song. Thank you level 42! -Steph
I never get tired of hearing this song. It's just the most perfect song. The lyrics, the music, the vocals, everything is so right. There's just something about it..😉
This song came out 2 years before I met my future wife. I have always and absolutely loved this song since day 1. Here it is now,after 30 years of marriage with my wife,the lyrics to this song have more meaning than ever before. Didn’t know it back then…but I sure know now. Happy 30 years my Love! Let’s keep it going!
"Something About You", as sung by Level 42 in 1985, stands as a masterpiece that effortlessly intertwines exquisite music, poetic lyrics, and mesmerizing vocals into a harmonious symphony that continues to bewitch listeners today. The song's magnetic allure lies within its infectious melodies, which blend the sweetest strains of pop and funk, casting a spell on our hearts from the very first note. As the rhythm takes hold, it compels our bodies to sway in unison, surrendering to the undeniable charm that emanates from this timeless composition. Within the depths of "Something About You" lies a lyrical tapestry that unveils a tale of transcendent love. The words gracefully dance through the air, entwined with the singers' heartfelt delivery, creating an ethereal connection to our very souls. It tugs at our heartstrings, evoking a symphony of emotions - yearning, passion, and an undeniable sense of connection. The vocals, gentle and tender, caress our senses, while the harmonious blend of voices elevates this piece to a state of sheer musical perfection. As the decades pass, "Something About You" remains an eternal testament to the power of music to touch our souls and ignite a flame within that will never burn out.
I'm 15, and I just bought the 45 of this song at the mall, and I'm playing it over and over in my room. I'm 51, and I hear this come over the grocery store's muzak system. I'm rushing home to play this over and over on TH-cam. It never gets old.
I Love this song right here. Philippians 4:8 Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise, dwell on these things.
Best friend and I a month ago went to the bar his brother works at. Were 38 years old and were the oldest in there. There was about 70 people in there and 60 of those were under 25. The DJ kept playing rap. When I requested classic rock he said he had 1 song Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" It came on and the place went crazy hollering and clapping. They all knew the lyrics by heart and sang along with it so loud it was louder than the DJ's sound system. Needless to say I was in complete shock.
This was my brothers favorite song..he passed away in 1993, and today is his birthday..so happy 48th bday bro..love u so much, and miss your beautiful smile...your little bro, Scott
A. Scott Boddie I'm so sorry this is my favorite song to I listen to it all the time it doesn't matter how old or new the song is if it's a good song that's all that matters God bless you and your whole family and especially your brother I'm so sorry love Kimberly Kuda
Its a good song. Sorry to hear about that about your brother. I have a brother that I was very close with growing up but now he lives in another sate and we don't talk much.....Cant imagine if he died.
So here is what I personally take from the beautiful lyrics in simple language. I think the song has a very good message: When we met I felt it was fate. Our romantic relationship was so loving. I was shocked that over the years we sometimes couldn't stop ourselves from manipulating and hurting each other. We naturally forgave each other because real love doesn't work like a romance novel. Real love is hard work. You are still the one for me baby. If for some reason we couldn't be together, no one could claim that we didn't experience the full range of emotions people feel in romantic relationships. Of course, our love has evolved from a dreamlike romance into one that emphasizes loyalty and commitment, which is natural after years of being together. Still, I know you are the one for me. I still wouldn't want to spend my nights with anyone else but you. Period.
The lyrics are so genius. They make you go into deep thought. There's a reason this song is still popular. This band so unique and this song is just one of their greats. This is on my playlist and its one of my "getting ready to go out songs". How can you not love it? Love Level 42!!!
Thank you for providing the lyrics! I have always loved this song - it lifts my spirits. But I was never sure of the words. Now I know and it adds meaning to my life. Cliché, I know. But true! 🥰
Thank you su much for sharing that beautiful song, it take me many years before, when i was about 23 years old, now i m 48 and still listeting as i did for a first Time on the radio, tha program was calles "catch the words" on a morrocan radio called RTM, let me tell u that program helped me a lot to learn english a discover that song. Thank you one More Time for sharing.
I was 25 when this came out... i wanted a sign that my mom was with me and this came on the radio... i played this all the time and she wondered if I knew any other songs, I forgot about this song, so thanks mom for bringing a memory back and to remind me it's okay to human and make mistakes!
Is it so wrong....try singing this. It's right in my range, the voice arrangement on this is fantastic. I can't believe I'm still jamming this. I'm glad I am
Kiss hello. Kiss goodbye. Wait, anticipation of seeing you. I don't have that now and I miss that feeling a lot. That's why im here. One of the coolest love songs ever done.
This song reminds me of my boyfriend I miss him so much right now I wish he was here with me right now holding me in his arms keeping close to him I can't wait to see him again I love u Michael Richardson.😊☺🙂😘❤💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟💋
My first real love, so bad it hurt hahaha! ' 85 I was a mere 23....no idea what I was doing....The One That Got Away.... that's ok, still great memories...managed to find some more good ones ;) and I'm still jamming this nearly 40 years later
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh 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 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 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 ( About the way you are... so right ) Baby so right I couldn't live without you ( I couldn't be without you here... tonight ) Baby tonight Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh And there is something about you, yeah and I couldn't live without you Tonight
threre are many great songs... this is a song of love. the spirit feeds on the sincere yearnings and experiences of the soul. Truly moving and timeless.
This song never fails to raise the hair on the back of my neck as it dives into that chorus. And that guitar break is one the great minutes of crazed romantic guitar anarchy of the last 30+ years.
Excuse my french but f##### brilliant lyrics. Very symbolic of how love changes, people grow apart and realize that love has faded. Back in the 80s, hearing this song i never really got the subject meaning. The melody was all i heard but now as a person who has lived this idea many times over i finally see how true it is. This songwriter was def ahead of the game, much like jackson browne at 18 who was a phenomenal songwriter and worked with jd s and the eagles, he was writing far beyond what might have been expected for the time and you can easily see the poet inside the songwriter. Just amazing.😊 the 80s was such a magical time, full of fun and happiness. How quickly the world has changed. Now i want to relive my life in this music. It will never happen again.💔💔💔💔💔😊😊😊😊😊
I always love looking for songs i haven't heard in years and it's there you just have to hope the radio stations still have every song you can think of and can play it
Who's listening in 2024?....Love this song. Never tire of it.
Still here, brings back too much.
👋 💃🕺🏻
I was listening to this song in 1957😊
Meeeee !!!!!
HERE!! 🎵🎶
God .... What a great time !...
Great song !
I'm so glad I lived in the 80s .
When America was without cell phones ... it was
Great !
Kids today , and tomorrow will never understand or have that again .
This is one of the songs that defined the 80's. Hearing it again brings back memories. Good times.
"Mistakes are a part of lifes imperfections."
My favorite verse in this song, It never gets old listening to this song. Such great memories I have of this song. Thank you level 42! -Steph
I never get tired of hearing this song. It's just the most perfect song. The lyrics, the music, the vocals, everything is so right. There's just something about it..😉
Absolutely right!
I see what you did there with the last sentence of your comment you sly devil you 😉
Agreed
I listened to this more than 20 times a day
West End Girls by PSB hits me nearly the same for some reason. I like the tempo on this better, though, and there's the element of truth, as well.
This song came out 2 years before I met my future wife. I have always and absolutely loved this song since day 1. Here it is now,after 30 years of marriage with my wife,the lyrics to this song have more meaning than ever before. Didn’t know it back then…but I sure know now. Happy 30 years my Love! Let’s keep it going!
These years music was so pure and clean ! Could listen over and over again 👍🏾
who is here today 80s kid here 👍
Straight up. In my opinion the best love song written in our era.

Beautifully written and well put.
Why can't pop music be like this anymore?
I'm 15, and I just bought the 45 of this song at the mall, and I'm playing it over and over in my room.
I'm 51, and I hear this come over the grocery store's muzak system. I'm rushing home to play this over and over on TH-cam.
It never gets old.
Long Live the 80's!
I was a young twenty when this was released. I love the 80s and wish this lost generation could experience this decade.
This song is a classic . Never gets old. Awesome every time!
MTV played the absolute hell out if this song back in the day AND I never got tired of it.
The 80s turned out some of the best music ever
& let's not forget everythng that followed Post 90s is no longer fit to be in the category of 'Music'.
Just plain trash filled violence, lost & hate.
Great song
The best
indeed it did!!
No
An underrated song if ever there was one. Deep, vast and succinct. We're only human after all.
Word
Truth
I came up during this Era . Who ever put that together , put quite a bit of thought , and effort into it ✌️ .
I Love this song right here.
Philippians 4:8
Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise, dwell on these things.
How....how can it be that something about this song is so beautiful and sad at the same time??
This song truly is a masterpiece.

Absolute classic. Reminds me of Sunday bath night with Top 40 playing in the early 80's. And it still
f🤬king rocks!!!🤘🏽
something about this song is so uplifting...the beat the rhythm the way it sounds in your mind
Mark King: A good singer, but easily one of the BEST bass players alive! Facts!
🐰
I heard this on the radio , my special someone came to mind ( P.A.H❤🦉) when I fathomed out the lyrics!!
Level 42, were def one of the top UK bands of their times.
A perfect example of how incredible the music of the 80's was and will remain so always. Level 42 Rocks!
This song reminds me of my boyfriend I miss him so much right now I wish he was here with me right now holding me in his arms keeping close to him I can't wait to see him again I love u Michael Richardson.😊☺🙂😘❤💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟💋

Awe... My husband sent me this song this morning! We're married "36" years today. I love him so very much. We are each others ride&die❤
Very powerful song!
This song takes me back to my youth.... Those were really the wonder years❤️
This 80s . Those were the times. There are no more songs made like these.
This is one of my all time favorites, everything about this song just clicks!!!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
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
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
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
( About the way you are... so right )
Baby so right
I couldn't live without you
( I couldn't be without you here... tonight )
Baby tonight
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh, ooh ooh
And there is something about you, yeah
and I couldn't live without you
Tonight
Tivroc Saig awesomeness
Thank you so much, you writers are underappreciated.😁💯👍👊
Goat!
Thank you 💢
I wanna go back to the 80's. Take me back.
Me too! Only now I'm old enough to appreciate the decade 💕
I’d love to live it again too ❤
ABSOLUTELY LUV THIS SONG,LUV THE 80S.
Just heard this in the supermarket and I had to go ahead and punch it up ! Thanks for the memories
So uniquely done, and so unlike anything else they did...An absolute stunner...
threre are many great songs... this is a song of love. the spirit feeds on the sincere yearnings and experiences of the soul. Truly moving and timeless.
Thank God for new wave and los angeles in the 80s, the best of both worlds
One of the all time best songs….give me back the 80s……please.
This song never fails to raise the hair on the back of my neck as it dives into that chorus. And that guitar break is one the great minutes of crazed romantic guitar anarchy of the last 30+ years.
One of the greatest songs ever💯💯💯
I was only 6 and I remember this song
The chorus really hits hard in this song. In my opinion, the chorus (should) be the climax to every song while the verses are the build-ups.
This is just a great song.
Is it so wrong. To be human after all
Intelligent lyrics and the great Mark King on vocals and bass!

It is a really good solo.
They're nuts.. it's my favorite song on earth

This guitar solo always reminded me of the solo in the song just the same way by Journey, the greatest band on the planet.
