80s, 80s, 80s!
"I'm living in the forest of a dream"
When hair in your eyes was the sexiest thing you could do as well as wearing an off the shoulder oversized jumper. I totally forgot this song existed, I don't reckon I've heard it since 1984. More tunes about adult concerns with darkly glamorous themes. Shonky dancing alert from 1.48. 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.
We probably all assumed she was half Italian as she did a whole bunch of covers of Italian pop songs including this one but Branigan had no Italian heritage whatsoever which is surprising.
