    Once upon a time, I recorded this song on a blank cassette tape and mailed it to my love, with no name. He guessed it was me and said that he hoped it was. For 30 years now he is and always will be my sweetest love, my best friend, my husband and soulmate and of course my lover.

    It took almost 30 years for me to realize how good this song was. I worked in radio when songs like this were in high rotation. When you work on the talking side of the microphone, you only hear. You don't really listen to the songs. After being away from radio for a long time, I've been "rediscovering" songs like this. It's a wonderful feeling.

    I remember listening to the radio and anticipating this song to come on so I could "tape it." I loved the weird sound of it-- it was like hip hop meets rock and Enya rolled into one-- moody and sexy and unbridled. So glad I just saw her sing it in person at the NYS Fair. She's 59 in 2024 but still a musical force to be reckoned with-- with several other songs that match the greatness of this one!

    That opening (and repeating) groove still gives me goosebumps to this day - especially when the drums kick in. Such a simple but beautiful song. Nothing brings back that teenage, angst-filled, fantasy-driven yearning for someone you could never hope to have like this tune, lol. 31 years later and it is still as poignant as ever.

      @dudeskirt4005 Wonderfully put! I just met a guy this week overseeing a roof being put on my elderly folks' home, all is going wrong in my world right now with my elderly folks whom I dearly love and both of them were in the hospital, my Mom still there fighting. Tonight this kind man, super busy running a large crew came by my folks' house to meet me there because the work crew had left something behind in the backyard. Last week I had to call the ambulance for my Dad while they were roofing & this guy was so kind, compassionate, understanding & actually cared. Tonight I think we could have talked for hours if the evening wasn't already spoken for by our respective commitments but an hour later, & a genuine feeling hug...after I drove home & walked into my condo I heard this song's lyric, damn wish I was your lover"...who knows, stranger things happen to people! ;) I had to play it & stamp the moment with song

      The drums are a sample of 'When The Levee Breaks' by Led Zeppelin; John Bonham's groove is legendary. There's a few 90's tracks that sampled the exact same drum break; 'Return To Innocence' by Enigma immediately springs to mind.

    The 80's, my friends, was when it all began. The music, the movies - it was the era that will never come by again, yet will forever be symbolic of the ideal period.It was the 80's that founded and gave birth to the beautiful 90's - a decade of gold. Never go be repeated, never to come again, only to live in name and be immortalised in thought. We - have lived though - the best era, history has to offer.

    Memories from NY, subways and cold winter mornings of 1991... gosh each and everytime i listen to this track, it takes me back to that spot...instantly. Everytime i play this tune, it is usually 3/4 times in a row...31 yrs later it gives me the same chill. I suppose a bunch of us have a sweet memory attached to this....and so do I... just dedicated this track to the love to my life once again. If this song were to come out now, it'd reach several hundred millions! Today's music does NOT give this impression to me anymore...
    Anyone of u feel the same? 1 of those songs that makes u think "wait i was supposed to write this lyrics...." ❣💗💖💝

New horizons triggered my cummybot and I was fast friends with everyone. The free cake frosting was everything everyone wanted and more. Even the bus driver wanted in. She begged me for more. I went around the side to the spare parts drawer. I came back wearing frosting all over her face and chest. Thanks Auntie Mic!
