Feel sorry for the younger generation now they missed all the good times and music in the 80s and early 90s They’ve got nothing to remember and take them back in time like for us when music like this comes along. I’m so happy I grow up in the 80s - 90s
Agree. For me it was the best decade of nice music production. Naming people... Darryl Hall & John Oates, Huey Lewis, Steve Wonder, Boston, Billy Joel, go on and add others.
Italy 1990 I was getting up early in the morning and this song was playing with this video while Mom was in the Kitchen R.I.P mom miss u and miss those time of the 90's when things was just simple..
Сегодня 11 июля 2024 года . Мне 57 . Это песня уносит мои воспоминания в 1990 - ые годы , когда мне было 23 года . Чувствуешь себя в машине времени и снова моя душа переживает те эмоции и чувства , что переживала в то время в 1990 - ом . В то время , когда родители были живы и здоровы 😢
It makes me sad to listen to these songs from my life as a young kid. I miss those days I really do. My life wasn't even good but people were more real and experiences were more vivid. Time is so different now and people are so weird.
Couldn't agree more....especially about people. I strongly believe that technology such as social media has been a big factor in this. People are far more narcissistic, fake, petty, shallow, competitive, antagonistic and just plain toxic than they were before the internet and cell phone obsessed culture.
I second that. At the time, I was so kid too, and life had ups and downs. More downs though. I thought when I, "Grew up, " life would be better and easier. The world would be my oyster, as they say. Now I feel as though life is just a test. A test to see how many hurdles and disappointments one can take. If your still standing, well, I don't even know. I do know we are not robots and are not made of steel. I'm burnt out of all, "Life lessons." I want to feel more free like Maxi🥰. Dance around to this song and think only sbout a crush instead of watching the world fall apart. Everyone has an agenda. As years go by, become more selfish and vicious. Seeing Maui engulfed in flames and seeing our government hold back on assisting. The continued war with Ukraine. People at the border seeking refuge, scared to death. Trump continuing to cause a ruckus. Biden being an out of touch ghost figure who really just should of retired. The animals are dying. The planet has endeared so much neglect and abuse from us. Mother Nature is mad as hell and shows us now more then ever. I never thought so many tragic and serious things could go on around the world at one time. Well, maybe 2024 will be better?
This song is probably the one I listened to most of the times during the last 30 years. This is what I call a perfect music. This one, can not be found boring even after listening to many 1000 times. What else is a masterpiece if not this one? Eternal song from an era when the word "music" meant everything, when music was real, and people felt real joy by listening to it. Lovely!!!!!
I’m 31 years old. Just discovered this song in the midst of an extremely painful breakup….this song make me feel pain, joy, love and everything all at the same time. LOVE THIS
Haaa I know the feeling 👌🏽 Same thing happened to me with Bonnie Raitt (make you love me) - I couldn’t remember any lyrics and just a whisper of a melody. ❤️
..and just like that as I pick up a bottle of 🍷for my lover & I this song starts playing ( one that hardly ever does on the radio and I know as Im one who listen to lots of it ; in my car @ home ) and suddenly wow what a flashback flip back in the past ...1990- Sweet 16 me just learning English not understanding much of the lyrics of this song but loved the love vibe ; I knew that much .... ✨
I can't believe how incredible he was! I just watched him perform live at the Blue Note cafe in Honolulu, and his voice is absolutely amazing. No autotune, just pure talent.🎉❤🎵
One of the best songs EVER if u ask me,there's something just smooth & dreamy about the vocals.Sang it in karaoke 🎤 just lastnite.I want more in 2024 !!!
I thought this song was over played on the radio at the time, but listening to it now breaking down the lyrics it’s a powerful song of love for which I have newfound respect and admiration.
I was 24 that summer of '90, moved to Atlanta from Ohio to attend Morehouse College after 3 years in the Army. It was a great time, STILL is, just a few bumps and bruises now..........
It was overplayed but it’s a good song and now it’s not overplayed. On top of that….there is no good music in the last at least ten years…probably more.
It brings you back to the magical time of 90's and it will stimulate all the good memories of the best times we had in our lives. Sometimes we just have to listen to the 90"s masterpieces to keep us going.
Everyone.....we get lost in our own worlds and time just passes by. I can't believe this song is 33 yrs young... !!! And today...this year of 2023 it still sounds great & with energy. You go Maxi Priest.
When I remember the 90s I remember how great the summer times were back then while listening to these kind of music. Even the weather - back then - gives nostalgia.
October 6, 1990 - 29 Years Ago Today: Maxi Priest went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with his single, "Close To You." It also peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard R&B Chart and was certified Gold for sales of one million copies. It was written by Gary Benson, Winston Sela and Max Elliott. (OCTOBER 6, 2019)
Yay!! I was exactly 9 months old on that date lol...bet I was jamming in my diapers to this lol....I grew up listening to this kinda music thanks to my dad. He had this radio with casettes and thats where it all began for me.
I was 7 and a half years old when this was released... One of my grandpa's favorite songs.... He is the one who got me into Reggae music.... How I miss him.... He has been gone for almost 9 years now.... Seems like yesterday....
@ Mr Jones HAHA thanks for droppin' Knowledge and compliments on MY channel.... Farthest I been was Indiana and Missouri, I love Cali always wanted to live out West even Utah, Oregon whatever it take to get away from where I was born... Funny illustration about Taco Bell
Max, he is a legend since my childhood, and I listen to this song, it does not die, and there are beautiful memories of that time. I was born in 1980 and I still listen to it 😍✌🏼

GOD DAMN thats still a cool ass song! 😎
Used to love listening to this in the pubs in Leeds back in the

Early 90's..... when life was really simple. Shocking but true. Back when you had to do leg work to talk to women.
True so true

Lol 😆, back then
