I wasn't unhappy about anything - I just like the sad songs. A fair amount, now that I think about it. I wasn't unhappy about anything – I just like the sad songs.

(Another song I adore from the '80s was "Freedom" by George Michael which was mentioned in a <a href="http://popdose.com/chart-attack-10585/" rel="nofollow">previous Popdose post</a>. Now <i>that</i> had a killer chorus.)<br><br>And thanks for reminding me that Simon Phillips was the drummer of PhD. He is a stunningly good drummer. I once attended a drum clinic conducted by Simon when he was in Australia in 1988 drumming for Mick Jagger on Jagger's solo tour. A couple of years earlier, Simon had played on Pete Townshend's White City album, and he started the clinic by hopping on his drum kit and playing the opening track, "Give Blood" - in its entirety. It was awe-inspiring. Thanks for reminding me of one of my favourite singles from the '80s.

For me the jury is still out on likability, but I gotta ask: how much moping did you do during your bathroom guitar sessions? Like “DrCastrato” I wasn't familiar with this song, either.
