Two soulfull songs by Tracy Chapman, these two worldwide hits are from her acclaimed debut which won a Grammy that year.

For some reason for many years I thought it was a Paul Macca song.

I don't know any other Tears For Fears tune apart from this and Mad World, but what a tune. An absolute belter. What, not even Shout or Sowing The Seeds Of Love?

I don't know any other Tears For Fears tune apart from this and Mad World, but what a tune. An absolute belter. "Songs From The Big Chair" was/still is a great, great album with songs like "Shout", "Head Over Heels" and of course the one you mentioned. @id1edreamer will agree. Here's some for my memory lane. How can you not include this song? (RIP Michael) and these songs I would like to share with our guigsysEstring. I always had a soft spot for Midge Ure (and his accent). Hope you're doing well, Midge.

not a ballad, but maybe the most 80s song ever?

How can you not include this song? (RIP Michael) INXS is great, I was about to include them, they have plenty of beautiful ballads:

30 years ago and this song sounds like it was recorded yesterday, this song won't age, perfect melody.
