    I was in my young 20's when this came out. Oh my god Jennifer Connelly. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Now I'm 61. To the younger generation. You have no idea how fast life is once you responsibilities start. Make the best of your young years.

      Agreed. I'm 59 as well. The golden age of music, to me at least, fell in-between 1964 to 1989. A great 25 year period. The Beatles started it all. Early 90's grunge was the last really interesting genre of music, it's been a slow painful slide downward since then. But that is my opinion.

    The grammy they won for this version was well deserved. It's an incredibly beautiful song and I cannot believe it's 40 years old. I was in middle school when their hit Wishing ( I had a photograph) made its way onto the USA's airwaves and I've thanked the band ( in my heart and soul) every single day since then. Those of us who were blessed to be at the age when music was becoming just as influential to who we'd become as the hormones that were kicking in. My 80s musical taste comprised of the iconic sounds of New Wave, Punk, New Romantic, and Death Rock which all became part of my DNA.

    The bass player Frank Maudsley always played with a smile on his face. Good to see that in his mid-60's he's still a happy looking dude. I'm a year older than Paul Reynolds and I'm glad to see that it looks like he got through his addiction and mental health issues when he was in his early/mid-twenties. AFOS were one of my favourite new-wave bands in the very early 80's - man they were such and underrated band!

    The true beauty of this song was its staggering simplicity. It’s already a classic, no orchestra required.
    I’m so damn grateful I grew up during the 80’s. I got to see Star Wars as a kid and bought my first car in ‘86, all to the soundtrack of some of the best music ever recorded. It was so good, I learned how to build car stereo systems long before it became cool in the 90’s.
    It’s simply impossible to properly convey just how much fun they were to experience, now that we survived them. My first job was at McDonald’s, when the food tasted so much better than today. Marlboros were $1 a pack and smoking them was still cool. We still got side eye for smoking in school parking lot, which made it even cooler!
    Despite living thru all the dramatic change of the digital and internet ages, we ended up in some dark times. 😕

    Paul Reynolds is such an under appreciated and under rated guitarist. His riffs made those songs. This has always been a great song. Nice to see them back together.

      Listen to the Edge's guitar tone. He was definitely influenced by Paul Reynolds playing style and made a unique version of playing of his own. All musicians are influenced by someone. Honestly, it's the greatest form of flattery one can give.
