Your tastes in 80s music are pretty narrow and quite pedestrian in the end, skopey. Sorry if you can't deal with that. sod off and go and listen to some courtney pine, flange. seriously.

You both have crude musical tastes so it doesn't surprise me you don't get it. take your kung-fu slippers off G and smell the 80s for what they were. Nothing to do with the 80s. It's about music having the power to bring one to spiritual epiphany. Now get back to your Troggs.

It's great, but the best tune of the 80s? Nah, not for me.
This would be a contender...

Not at all. I've loved it for years and find it incredibly moving and powerful. It's a funny song cos for two minutes you have no inkling of where it's heading and the glory to come. Not that I dislike the first part but at 2.17 something magical starts to happen and it's a real Moment. The song changes gears completely and suddenly it's stately and beautiful. It becomes a hymn of love and devotion. You can tell when a singer is really starting to feel it and Summer's excited little "hey! hey!" is one of those little moments where you know the singer is getting lost in the moment and riding that wave. When she sings "I do know how I survive..." I honestly get goosebumps and musically it builds expertly into something huge and ecstatic. Is she signing about a man? About God? We know what's being communicated here, you can really feel it in the same way you can feel some old gospel number and be moved by the sincerity of the sentiments. The moment when the choir kicks in is totally fucking earned. "hey! hey!". In a lesser songs hands it could sound silly and contrived but here it's genuinely transcendent. A moment of joy and release that we know has been coming but it still kicks our arse and leaves us head back and arms aloft.

The beginning of the record is perky, playful but gives no real hint of the power to come. We can disagree on when it begins to acquire that power, I would put it earlier with the introduction of that long verse, but we certainly agree on its joyous incantation...and yeah that little "hey..hey" is somehow key to it all.

Just been listening to the original of SOI and the little "hey...hey' is there as indeed is everything else. In some ways what Jones did was an editing job, shaping and tidying the messiness of the original, extracting its most compelling moments. But I think it's the conviction of Summer's vocal which really lifts it from the 'interesting' to something sublime and inspirational.
