My dad was tragically taken from me on the 30th of April 2020 in a car crash. He adored level 42, he has kept all his ticket stubs and book. He must of seen them over 50 times. The music is the only thing making me feel close to him.
Yes i agree with you. i must have played the songs by Level 42 again anad again these few days. Because there is something about the group and the songs. 1980s generation music is surely the best.
"Something About You" is a timeless pop classic that captivated audiences upon its debut in 1985 by the British band Level 42, featuring a remarkable fusion of synth-pop, jazz, and funk elements. Mark King, the lead singer, delivers soulful vocals while effortlessly showcasing his unparalleled skill with the bass guitar. The song's irresistible groove, catchy melodies, and heartfelt lyrics combine to create a euphonic masterpiece that has stood the test of time and continues to bewitch listeners worldwide to this day.
Is it just me? When I hear certain songs, it takes me back to happy times in my life, can even smell how it was at that point. This phenomenon has to be the closest thing we have to time travel, I need it so badly it breaks my heart
I am in my 70's and when I here certain songs it takes me back to that time, even back to the 1950's. Without music in my opinion it would have been a very sad life.
I cry whenever I hear this. I'm a 90's kid and both my parents were Level 42 fans so I heard this a lot as a kid. Reminds me of simpler and happier times
Level 42 are not a band.they are a time travel machine transporting one to unimaginable places. The sounds they gave us ignited in us our sense of good . Brilliant
that was really well said. i remember being 8 or 9 years old listening to this back then thinking and knowing this song in particular was something very very special.
My Mum loved Level 42 when I was a kid and because of her I was exposed to so much cool tracks from the 80s (I'm 43) into the 90's. She died five years ago and I'm looking back on these tracks and buying the best Of Albums as memories of our time together! This is going to be the next one! Recently purchased Tears For Fears and Depeche Mode. 😊
@Stargazer3131, you and I share a GREAT love for the mentioned bands, that being of course Level 42, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears and I'll add another...Pet Shop Boys! #80smusic #80skids #theeraofauthenticity
The older I get, the more amazed I get by the talent and maturity that artists such as this displayed as very young men. It makes me glad for them and sad for myself.
@@andymatthews7617 I can only speak from my own experience, but I have three kids, and none of them are moved by music as my friends and I were. The pop music they listen too, they like , but they are not as emotionally invested as previous generations. That’s how it seems..
I once read that the "clown" here represents the "problems/discussions" on a relationship, that are always there and if they're not faced, they can lead to an end... But at the end they did so 🙌
Genuinely didn’t know that. After the passing of Mark Hollis, that’s another part of my DNA lost to the gods. Thanks for the info, in a perverse sort of way. Bloody hell I’m getting old.
i am 47 ,,,,, nearly ...... these guys remind like it was yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please wake me up and let it be the 80s ................. and do it all again.. quality times ..... brilliant music x
Young men from 80's thinking about the future: "The future should be something wonderful"; Young men that was born in 80's and now are living in the nowaday: "Oh my God, how I did want with all my heart to back to the 80's!".
[Verse 1: Mark King] How, how can it be that a love Carved out of caring, fashioned by fate Could suffer so hard From the games played once 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? [Pre-Chorus] Drawn into the stream Of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams They can't disguise the truth [Chorus] That there is something about you Baby so right I wouldn't be without you baby tonight [Verse 2: Mark King] 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 [Pre-Chorus] These changing years They add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear The time that told the truth [Chorus] Because there's something about you Baby so right I couldn't be without you Baby tonight I know there's something about you Baby And I couldn't live without you Tonight
É unânime que a década de 80 foi de ouro para a cultura mundial!! Incrível o poder e influência das obras primas produzidas naquela época onde nem se imaginava a tecnologia de hj!! Obrigado Deus obrigado anos 80
Ruim de envelhecer é que cada ano a década de 80 fica mais distante,como tinha músicas e bandas pra curtir que marcaram nossas vidas pra sempre, obrigado meu Deus por curtir essa maravilha
Uma das melhores músicas da década de 1980, e ver Mark King cantar e estourar aquele baixo com todas aquelas linhas legais enquanto canta. Como outros aqui notaram, não é uma tarefa fácil. E ele consegue isso sem esforço. Lembro-me de quando isso foi um sucesso. O sol brilhava muito mais forte naquela época.
Wish I knew then that the guy I sat next to, when at Cowes high school on, the isle of Wight... Would go on to make such great songs like this and many others.. Still see Mark out and about, to this day..and have a laugh about life, back in the day. Nice bloke Mark King.

I was born in 1986 and have been hearing this song my whole life. Finally woke up today and couldn't get it out of my head, it's like the first time I've ever really heard it. A very beautiful song
I saved up my pocket money, which was 50p a week in 1985, and went and bought this on 12''....me and my best mate Chris used to sing this and play our 'bass guitar' tennis rackets.....we were 13! Great times! I told Mark King this when I met him at a Football charity event at The Grosvenor hosted by David Beckham. Mark was brilliant and had all the time in the world to chat.....wasnt allowed to have a photo coz I was working....gutted! I LOVE LEVEL 42!!
This film clip is genius. Just utterly stunning. The song is of course amazing. But so many cool things going on. They don’t make em like this anymore. Utter genius
@@janinetaylor2366 You're so right! The world is so crazy! Everyday horror news, war in the ukraine, the flew named covid ... That's why i reduce to hear/see the daily news! I prefere music in this weird times! All good for you/family
Thats Cheri Lunghi, i fancied her so much in the manageress. As a tune, it makes me emotional. Long story, but my uncle who was my replacement father figure introduced me to level 42 and world machine. It has an extra meaning and significance.
RIP Boon Gould, one of the most iconic songs of the 80s was "something about you". I saw Level 42 live at Wembley Arena in 1987, when this song came on the place was jumping. Why don't they make music like this anymore?
The 80s were a beautiful and incredible era, and experiencing it was a true privilege. Being immersed in the music scene during that time was truly memorable. It's difficult to pick a bad song from Level 42. This particular song was the first one I heard from them, and from that moment on, Level 42 became a significant part of my life. They truly are a great band.
This is absolute class. From the arrangement to way it drifts elegantly from the start the end without really letting you know, you can just keep replaying as a continous soundtrack for the perfect day
Not just a great song: this video has so much artistic, cerebral and psychological appeal. Mark King is perfect as the clown getting us "drawn into the stream of undefined illusion"
This is an exceptionally well-produced song. Although it has a distinct 80's sound it's not a cheap quality production and has aged very well. I'm glad I was born in the last decade where actual talent, not shock factor and sex appeal, sold records and the results were so outstanding. Not everyone had the huge sales of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston but the standards were often equally as high. Until we can get back to focusing on the gems that lie within ordinary looking people we'll overlook the next Elton John's, Phil Collins and Level 42's who could write such great pieces of music with capturing lyrics. I feel very deprived looking at the Top 10 albums and singles nowadays.
En todo el maldito mundo ha proliferado la poca creatividad, calidad y sentido musical, osea nos vinimos abajo en saber llegar al alma y a los sentidos de manera cool ;)
Remember when this came out and didn't take that much notice at the time, but I am now catching up again with L42 and have watched this several times and realise what a clever video it is. Probably their best one. MK genius as ever.
This is the song that made me fall in love with Level42 back in 1986... I was 12yo and then when i discovered their first albums i was astonished by their funky-fusion instrumental roots... they are my favourite all-time band and imho the most underrated talents in music history. Long live Level42
I got to live at my nans house 1986 cause i was exspeld from school... my 17 yr old aunt was looking out for me... took me everywhere with her... my sound track in my mind is the 80s through and through... love you maureen 😙
Listening to this I remembered that when this was played on radio I was just a 7-8 years kid . Life was so simple and beautifull then . No worries , no time running away ... I miss those times!
I was born in '82 but I vividly remember this being played regularly on the radio as I was growing up, and absolutely LOVING it (along with their other songs) They just seemed to have such a special sound to me... ❤
Não nasci nos anos 80, descobri essa obra prima a 4 anos, desde então ouço ela todos os dias como se fosse a primeira vez! Qualidade que não vemos nos tempos atuais!
Transports me back to my teenage years and all the people i remember at the time . Memories of mates and girlfriends that you lost touch with . Long summer days and everything was carefree and easier . Take me back
Tengo 39ans cuando la escucho regreso a 1987 cuando ser feliZ no tenía precio amo está canción la comparto con mis hijos espero me comprendan 2020😭😭😭🙋🙋🙋🙋
No other music will come close to this amazing decade, by far the best musicwise and I feel so damn lucky to have lived thru those years, tons of good memories that forever will be part of Me ♥
Q vontade d voltar no tempo, q saudade dos anos 80 e 90. Ouvir MÚSICAS como essa dessa banda maravilhosa LEVEL 42 nos reportam d uma maneira única. Meus parabéns e agradeço por talentos genuínos como esses 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
39 years old and still sounds great ❤
Still a great live band too, King's voice has held up well and of course, his bass playing is still from another planet.
Agreed - I was a teenager when it came out and it was great then, but seems even better now!
My dad was tragically taken from me on the 30th of April 2020 in a car crash. He adored level 42, he has kept all his ticket stubs and book. He must of seen them over 50 times. The music is the only thing making me feel close to him.
you'll always have this music. It will never die. neither will the love you have for your father.
Uma ótima lembrança! Que os momentos mais doces e ternos confortem você!
sorry to hear that jamie music can soften it a wee bit be strong for your dad all the best

How did this not reach number 1 in the UK charts? What a fantastic song.
Yes but he's the only single of him they reached top 10 on Billboard that I see
..crap like Jive Bunny dominated the charts...
Lol you sound like Alan partridge.
Please don't say you prefer Jive Bunny!
How, how can it be
That a song crafted out of caring, fashioned by bass
Can chart so low?
It's this type of music that you can play over and over again. 80s generation music is the best
Ooooh yes my friend! 80 decade was marvelous fantastic and unforgettable about music fashion and more 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I agree👌
absolutely!!........
Compared to the rap crap 💩 music today…🤮
Yes i agree with you. i must have played the songs by Level 42 again anad again these few days. Because there is something about the group and the songs. 1980s generation music is surely the best.
I was a teenager when this was in the charts. I use to listen to this on my cassette recorder in my bedroom. 😂 80’s music is the best 👍🏻
I want the aliens to take me back and leave me there.
80's music best ever
Sin duda alguna amigo, saludos desde Ricaurte Colombia 🇨🇴🎼🍻👍
Saw this on Top of the pops, got ready and went out, that night I met my first real girlfriend, always reminds me of her!
No argument from me Rob the 80s where the best.

Beautiful and incredible times, being a teenager bang smack in the middle of the 80's was a privilege.
couldn'tagree more, happy days
I agree also the best time to grow up was early 80s. The music and memories will stay with me me forever.
I was seventeen in 1985 and if I could go back I would so without hesitation
not as good as being in late teens living in Manchester is early 90's.
I was eighteen! I miss that time of my life.
Is it just me? When I hear certain songs, it takes me back to happy times in my life, can even smell how it was at that point. This phenomenon has to be the closest thing we have to time travel, I need it so badly it breaks my heart
Des Barros well said bro
yep, some songs are like bookmarks in our timelife, you remember exactly where you were, friendships, etc.
If only we could go back Des I would pay absolutely anything great times sadly missed 😢
I am in my 70's and when I here certain songs it takes me back to that time, even back to the 1950's. Without music in my opinion it would have been a very sad life.
The music is the only thing that takes me back in time, I remember exactly what was happening with my life that time. I love this feeling.
The one thing I hate about getting older is that it takes me further and further away from the 80s, those wonderful teenage years
Times very very sadly missed 😢😢😢😢
Agreed
And Dyeing
Cant agree more I am 56 now loved the 80s great times great music.
Just stay in the moment the music keeps you there, its easy, i am the same approaching 60 but the music i like i like, i forget my age . nice post
Absolutely right
80s...the diamond era !!!
I cry whenever I hear this. I'm a 90's kid and both my parents were Level 42 fans so I heard this a lot as a kid. Reminds me of simpler and happier times
Holly Brown - You're so right...
Im on ur train bro!!
Holly Brown I agree. brilliant

Good choices 👍
Young men from 80's thinking about the future: "The future should be something wonderful";
Young men that was born in 80's and now are living in the nowaday: "Oh my God, how I did want with all my heart to back to the 80's!".
Mark King is absolutely mesmerizing. Unforgettable song of the 80s.....
Mark King's performance in this video is incredible. His reactions and expressions are terrific. The guy would make a great actor.
Saint Godards I've said that to myself on many occasions based on this video.
Being one of the greatest British bass-players isn't a bad occupation either!
winni223 He's top of my list, for sure. Followed by George Anderson. 😊

***** ***** I've another opinion on this. That is all.
This was just a pop song when I was a kid... Now it's a whole lifetime of memories.....❤️

Si ! .. il faut écouter " NOSTALGIE ! "..
[Verse 1: Mark King]
How, how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring, fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played once 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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
[Chorus]
That there is something about you
Baby so right
I wouldn't be without you baby tonight
[Verse 2: Mark King]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear
The time that told the truth
[Chorus]
Because there's something about you
Baby so right
I couldn't be without you
Baby tonight
I know there's something about you
Baby
And I couldn't live without you
Tonight
Gracias 😊
I would say the bass player made a significant contribution to making this song a legend.
I tend to agree with you.
I'm 53,...listening to these massive songs from the 80's reminds me of wonderful times, no Corona can erase!!

Definitely your so right

Rapaz, eu tb fico com aperto no coração. Emoções demais.
I'm 63 now, but yearn for those days, so sad we cant go back.
47 anos
Thats Cheri Lunghi, i fancied her so much in the manageress. As a tune, it makes me emotional. Long story, but my uncle who was my replacement father figure introduced me to level 42 and world machine. It has an extra meaning and significance.
Whenever I hear level 42 it always takes me back to the 80s and being on the beach on a hot summers day.
RIP Boon Gould, one of the most iconic songs of the 80s was "something about you". I saw Level 42 live at Wembley Arena in 1987, when this song came on the place was jumping. Why don't they make music like this anymore?
Oh how I miss the 80's. Such good music around, spoilt for choice.
me2 😁
Not just the music, but the tv, the films, the innocence. My childhood...
i like 80s too
Me too
I could'nt agree more. The 80s was the best decade ever for music in my book.☺
The 80s were a beautiful and incredible era, and experiencing it was a true privilege. Being immersed in the music scene during that time was truly memorable. It's difficult to pick a bad song from Level 42. This particular song was the first one I heard from them, and from that moment on, Level 42 became a significant part of my life. They truly are a great band.
This is absolute class. From the arrangement to way it drifts elegantly from the start the end without really letting you know, you can just keep replaying as a continous soundtrack for the perfect day
The essence of the 80s is this song and those synthesized choruses and arrangements.
The 80s simply perfected pop music. So glad I lived in that decade.
Not just a great song: this video has so much artistic, cerebral and psychological appeal. Mark King is perfect as the clown getting us "drawn into the stream of undefined illusion"
This is an exceptionally well-produced song. Although it has a distinct 80's sound it's not a cheap quality production and has aged very well. I'm glad I was born in the last decade where actual talent, not shock factor and sex appeal, sold records and the results were so outstanding. Not everyone had the huge sales of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston but the standards were often equally as high.
Until we can get back to focusing on the gems that lie within ordinary looking people we'll overlook the next Elton John's, Phil Collins and Level 42's who could write such great pieces of music with capturing lyrics. I feel very deprived looking at the Top 10 albums and singles nowadays.
Completely agreed, rich in production values and not made in a bedroom which is why it stand up today unlike most of the trash now. Fantastic song.
Agreed. Well put.
Matthew Charlery-Smith everything is about so called "star quality" today...
En todo el maldito mundo ha proliferado la poca creatividad, calidad y sentido musical, osea nos vinimos abajo en saber llegar al alma y a los sentidos de manera cool ;)
Hate the fact that I have to agree with you on this. But at least we can all agree that this is a great song
That wandering bass of Mark King is freakin phenomenal
Grande Level 42 !!!! E viva os anos 80 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🤩😍
something about you baby xxxx so right
Remember when this came out and didn't take that much notice at the time, but I am now catching up again with L42 and have watched this several times and realise what a clever video it is. Probably their best one. MK genius as ever.
Man, Mark King should be actor in the 80s. His acting in this Clip is so good.
What about Top Gun mate? But the song is actually AWESOME!
*This song is TIMELESS, and still rocks in 2024 !*
Your not wrong top quality
Brasil...love som...
PeckyThePigeon well, here’s one 24 year old that does. Quality track, in my opinion. :-)
So sorry to learn about your loss. Try and think about the precious memories you both had. You are never ever alone. Angela x
Agreed and always will Fella.
Great band. Level 42 beatiful song Something About you
This is the song that made me fall in love with Level42 back in 1986... I was 12yo and then when i discovered their first albums i was astonished by their funky-fusion instrumental roots... they are my favourite all-time band and imho the most underrated talents in music history. Long live Level42
I..miei..più. ..bei...ricordi...Gio. ...sss....ciao...
"But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfections" is one of the truest lyrics i have ever heard.
I got to live at my nans house 1986 cause i was exspeld from school... my 17 yr old aunt was looking out for me... took me everywhere with her... my sound track in my mind is the 80s through and through... love you maureen 😙
Love this tune
Someone in 2034, listening to this...🔥🙌
yes i am from 2034 good times yk mate
The song is infinitely good. The video is also fascinating.
I don't think we will ever get music like this ever again. It had a meaning back in the day
Something about this song !!!
Listening to this I remembered that when this was played on radio I was just a 7-8 years kid . Life was so simple and beautifull then . No worries , no time running away ... I miss those times!
I was born in '82 but I vividly remember this being played regularly on the radio as I was growing up, and absolutely LOVING it (along with their other songs) They just seemed to have such a special sound to me... ❤
Uma das músicas mais tocadas da história das rádios FMs , eu nunca canso de ouvir cada vez que eu ouço é como se fosse a primeira vez .
Adoro essa música
EU ESCUTO TODOS OS DIAS
Muito linda , época que músicas marcavam bons momentos das nossa vidas.
Não nasci nos anos 80, descobri essa obra prima a 4 anos, desde então ouço ela todos os dias como se fosse a primeira vez! Qualidade que não vemos nos tempos atuais!
É como uma viagem no tempo
I would listen to this probably for hours on repeat.
Nothing can make me this now.
Brings me to tears the 80s music and touch u so deeply
Transports me back to my teenage years and all the people i remember at the time . Memories of mates and girlfriends that you lost touch with . Long summer days and everything was carefree and easier . Take me back
1986 - this song is awesome!
2019 - this song is awesome!
2090 - this song is awesome!
2190 - this song is awesome! from the Mars base-camp
It's the year 3000 - this song is awesome!
1985
Tengo 39ans cuando la escucho regreso a 1987 cuando ser feliZ no tenía precio amo está canción la comparto con mis hijos espero me comprendan 2020😭😭😭🙋🙋🙋🙋
No other music will come close to this amazing decade, by far the best musicwise and I feel so damn lucky to have lived thru those years, tons of good memories that forever will be part of Me ♥
Same here even at the age of 57. Become nostalgic when I get to hear the music of 80's. I wish there are time machines to travel bck to 80's .
The current year already has far better music. 80s are still good, but nowhere near as good what we have now. (Not talking about mainstream pop)
The mid 80s, a golden golden era. If you know, you know…..you can’t explain it
This song brings me to another level. ❤❤
This song takes me back to the glorious 80s - what a decade ❤❤
Q vontade d voltar no tempo, q saudade dos anos 80 e 90.
Ouvir MÚSICAS como essa dessa banda maravilhosa LEVEL 42 nos reportam d uma maneira única.
Meus parabéns e agradeço por talentos genuínos como esses 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Bass master!!
