Because you needed genuine talent back then - something that is still present today but diluted by the not-so-good artists who hide behind autotune & production tricks. Notice how songs had lots of different sections back then? 50% of today's output is just the same thing looped over & over. Jingles as opposed to songs.

Great song! I wish there were more songs like this nowadays. I'd gotten used to that kind of music when I my father played almost every day. I am so grateful for this!

Cada vez que escucho ésta maravillosa música confirmo más y más que a los 'musicos' actuales se les acabó la inspiración para escribir buenas letras y hacer arreglos como éstos...
J'étais dans ma salle de bain et j'ai commencé à fredonner cette chanson. Une mélodie toute droite sortie de ma mémoire d'adolescente. Je l'adore toujours autant 🎶🙏🎶
What do you mean this is an anti America song. Only this country gives you the right to say such outrageous things about it that’s why America is great.
I purchased this album when it came out.. I was a fann of the band.. and still am.. I was in the Army at the time - 1989... Then I learned I was going to be deployed to IRAQ (gulf war)... I did not want to be a hero... But i was going to pull the trigger. That was my job. i had no questions about it.... i still like the song
Absolutely fantastic as some of other songs from the same team. Keep in mind, that was the time of great style which included fashion, presentation and synth pop. Analog synthesizers and other instruments added icing to the cake of wonderful and unforgettable lyrics and voices. Comparing to 2023 which is nothing less than a garbage, 80's are time to remember forever!! Even though I like Jazz, I will settle for Hates Jazz anytime. Thank you for such wonderful music, I miss you!!!
Una de mis csnciones favoritas,La musica que se escucha hoy no tiene trascendencia ,Los 80 siempre sera recordada como la epoca dorada ,saludos desde Argentina.
Una anecdota, alla por 2018 saliendo de mi trabajo me llama un amigo para avisarme que JHJ estaba tocando en vivo en el barrio Bellavista en Santiago de Chile. Me dio la direccion y efectivamente estaban comenzando un show. El me pidio que le guardara un puesto porque venia en camino. Me resultaba increible que una tremenda banda, de este nivel estuviera tocando en un pub y no en un estadio. Suenan muy bien en vivo. Bueno, despues supe que el dueño del pub era argentino y muy amigo de la esposa de Clarck Datchler el vocalista que tambien es argentina y muy linda ademas. Clarck habla español bastante bien.
I absolutely loved this song too just as much as Shattered Dreams. So crazy how i didn't get the deeper message to this song back in 1988. We teens of the 80s were so absorbed in the fun and greatness of the 80s we sometimes missed it behind the catchy tunes and dance melodies. God i miss the 80s
Possibly the best anti-war song from a time when the UK wasn't at war. I know far too many school/college friends that will never return home from wars that few of them really understood.
The way they worked with the sound of the synthesizers, the super expansive and spatial acoustics they used, was unique, and they did it with all the instruments. I think that at that time they found a way, through sound mixing, to give soul and power to electronic instruments, so that they wouldn't sound like an empty, square can. In addition, there were the voices of the singers, which had to be special for this type of sound. Today, sadly, they do not use this type of arrangement, except for very independent and niche bands (Hurts and his spectacular "Wonderful Life" comes to mind). The good thing about all this is the identification with the 80s that we all find when listening to this type of sound. It is a true journey back in time to a happier and more sincere era.
I agree. Great bass sound. I don't think it's a Hofner bass we're hearing but it's got that low end thing will some lovely harmonics on the top end. Almost bassoon like overtones. Bi amped whist recording, or whatever, it's a superb bass sound.
Claro que no, Lo bueno es duradero. Los decada de los 80 fue para creacion y recreacion. Hoy... todo es .... para aburrirse y deprimirse. la música actual no trae mensajes buenos y positivos, la música actual s instiga con acusaciones y exageraciónes a las divisones.

They're still active and had an acclaimed album in 2013 and put another out in 2020

What an incredible song when you listen to the lyrics. And even though this song came out years ago its message still holds true today.
So melodic with burst of energy. Brings back happy youth!

This song id for young people. Please dont go to the war. Dont kill anybody dont be their héro do not die for him.
68yrs old and love this song, great beat...
Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I won't pull the trigger
Our destiny is here
Beneath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter
Now don't be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
It's an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking a life
I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero
Oh send me off to war
In a far away land
I never knew existed
Subject me to the truth
To the horror and pain
Until my mind is twisted
And what if I fail
Will you put me in jail
For a murder I will not commit?
'Cause you don't understand
Till there's blood on your hands
That it's time to forget and forgive
I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero
And those who return
Come back only to learn
That they're hated by those who they love
'cos you're not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paid for in blood
I, I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to die for you
I don't want to be a hero
I thought this was a romantic song as always, but it's really political! If you could hear clearly more than the chorus part it would be very refreshing on the radio with a positive political message amidst all the meaningless romantic shit songs out there. :-)
Thank you for the lyrics here!

Still a great and one of the most underpreciated songs with great lyrics.

The way they worked with the sound of the synthesizers, the super expansive and spatial acoustics they used, was unique, and they did it with all the instruments. I think that at that time they found a way, through sound mixing, to give soul and power to electronic instruments, so that they wouldn't sound like an empty, square can.
