80s, 80s, 80s!
More tunes about adult concerns with darkly glamorous themes.
"I'm living in the forest of a dream"
When being sexy was all about hair in your eyes and wearing an off the shoulder oversized jumper sans pants.
Shonky dancing alert! The daggy Branigan shenanigans begin at the 1.48 minute mark.
I totally forgot this song existed, I don't reckon I've heard it since 1984. . . This tune is way better than I recall. The state of the art 80s pop production is fucking sensational. It's synth-y, it's funky, it's disco, it's rock... it's 1984 baby.
*Things I didn't know in 1984:
Self Control had Harold Faltermeyer on the synth.
The video was directed by William Friedkin.
Laura Branigan had no Italian heritage whatsoever which is surprising... we probably all assumed she was half Italian as she did a whole bunch of covers of Italian pop songs including this one.
