sunday rewind: level 42

Do you remember Level 42?  Sure you do.  I know you do.  They were a British pop band with a lead singer who played slap-bass.  Don't remember?  "Lessons in Love"  and "Something About You" were their two hits.  AH, now you're with me, aren't you?  

Here is "Lessons in Love," a great one for your '80s playlist.

And it doesn't get much better than this.  I cannot tell you how much I adore "Something About You" and have since the first time I heard it on the radio in 1985.  This song still makes me melt. The alliteration, the way he sings "million," and the sense of desperation.  Good music makes you feel.  It's not that music is supposed to make you feel good, it's that good music is supposed to make you feel.

I do love the first part of this song, so here are the lyrics for you. 

now
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?
