Was only 15 when this came out. Just trying to relive my youth in these troubling times. The 80's was a great era for music. The world was a very different place back then.

The best thing about INXS was that their live performances were just as good … or better than their studio recordings, and their music has aged beautifully through decades! ❤

[travislyon]

In my opinion, this is their best song

INXS played at my wife’s high-school leavers celebration in 1979, just before the Umina gig when they officially became INXS.

When I was 22, One of my best friends and I used to frequent a bar in Long Beach and playing this song on the jukebox was a ritual. That was in 94, the world has become an insanely different place. Tears of joy and sadness.
