Nik Kershaw is the sort of performer that I disliked in the 1980's and 1990's but actually when you listen to this song in it's acoustic guise with an objective mind... it is somebody who wrote a catchy tune, has reasonably meaningful lyrics, he can sing and I presume that is him playing the guitar.  Actually I would be happy to have achieved any one of those things :)

  Never heard of this guy before - one of the great things about RP.
Your comment was likable, the song more so.

Actually, I thought it was Michelle Shocked until I checked. She has that vibrato voice too. A seven for me - quite liked it.

 
Michelle shocked, while a good singer, never had this depth to her voice,  and her tunes have always been ... Less complex. 
This is my first introduction to Basia Bulat, I am blown away.

What sort of venue allows flatulent mice entry? Harrumph! ;-)

 
To which do you object; The rodent or the flatulence?
HM. The rodent or the  flatulence - sounds like the name of a new York city punk band.
The flatulent rat - sounds like the name of a British pub.

Nice tune, but overplayed.
If deep cuts ain't on the table, i'd rather plastic fantastic lover, martha - or even volunteers.

So, a song about Snowden.  Geez, never thought a soviet defector (and spy) would be so glorified within the west.  Oh well, let's keep dancing towards the abyss...at least the music is good.

 
You are a Fox infotainment watcher, ain't ya?

Great album, I have played it hundreds of times! Fun facts, Alan Parsons produced this record, Dark Side the Moon (PF) and Ambrosia's 1st record. Amazing, you can actually hear Alan Parsons "effect" in all 3 records and of course every Alan Parsons record ever recorded:-).

Bill, have Rebecca add Ambrosias 1st record to the vault, it is such an amazing masterpiece!! 

 That would be nice, nice, very nice.

O M G  the Brexit !! one would think they were never capable of going it alone. It was not long ago that the UK 'stood out'
this song captures the panic the media is expressing 

 
How long ago was that, and by what means?

Who taught this woman how to pronounce the -r- in English? The more I heawwwww this, the more it annoys me.

 
I only heard anomalies with a few words  which ended with an 'r'.
Travel the South in America - or the Northeast, for that matter - you will hear different ways of pronounciation.
Or go to the U.K.,  where some accents add an 'r' at the end of words.
Really though, what day a care, huh? You either like the tune or not.

How about some composers just a little less mainstream?  I could stand some Smetana or Borodin, or the like. 

 
Now you're talkin'.

So many negatives? Lots of great singers are whiney. If you want perfect voices listen to Oprah!
Was a breath of fresh air when it was new. Great live band.

 
Oprah? ... I don't get it -  she has a very grating voice ...

There is an animated short film that uses this song; No dialogue, just this beautiful piece of music to illustrate the wonders of childhood, the disillusion of coming of age, horrors of war, meloncoloy of aging, sadness of loss.

I'd no idea J.M. was an economist! 

But seriously, leftist whining is so dumb and sad. It was the Democrats passing the environmental laws as well as giving the trial lawyers whatever they wanted, which is exactly why "we can't make it here anymore."

Not to mention NAFTA, a Clinton "accomplishment" LOL. Thankfully it is mostly the supporters of the Democrats who get exactly what they deserve.
