Level 42 |Something About You| - (Rate the Song)

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Ooh...
Ooh...
How - how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much 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

Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
I wouldn't be without you baby tonight

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

These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear the time
That told the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
Don't want to be without you
Baby tonight
Because there's something about you
Baby so right
I couldn't live without you
Baby tonight

Ooh...
Ooh...
And there's something about you
I couldn't live without you
Tonight

42/10. Running in the Family is a GOAT 80s album.

 

[Plissken]

This is just one of those 80's songs that really capture that "driving down a neon and fluorescent lit city or shoreline at night or during a bright day with a clear sky " vibe of the 80's that I love. This one, Head over Heels and Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears, Owner of a Lonely heart by Yes, Stepping Out by Joe Jackson, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, Private Eyes by Hall and Oates, When the Going Gets Tough, Caribbean Queen, and Get Outta My Dreams by Billy Ocean, Valerie, and Higher Love by Steve Winwood, Ride like the Wind by Christopher Cross, We Close Our Eyes by Go West, and a bunch of other greats.

Pretty much impossible to not give this one a 10. A sound as minty fresh today as it was the day it was released nearly four decades ago.

I agree.
