The year 1987 was literally THE WORST year of my life (it was during my college years). Too long and complex to explain here but suffice to say that during that whole summer I was one step away from suicide (fortunately, I never considered taking it) and during that entire year I was within five steps of suicide.
(It does not help that the whole world thinks that that was a golden year in a golden decade--which both were not).
This song was one of only two things (along with a three-day family trip) that prevented that year from being an absolute total dead loss and is the only song from that year I can now listen to. Partially it is because, like you said, it is an upbeat and cheerful song. Partially it is because to me it actually sounds like a 1980s cover of a 1970s song (which is the music era I prefer to listen to).

@Mr.Quintin1959: We're about the same age. I know a lot of "our People" in the states anyway, didn't get it at that time, but I always really enjoyed a lot of the SOS catalogue, and thanks to CD and MP3 and streaming technologies, have never stopped playing it over the years, or had to deal with the ravages of time and replays on old vinyl. A lot of SOS songs were actually deeper and more melancholy than the music lets on, but still enjoyable. In that vein, I recommend listening to "Afterhours" and the both the vocal and instrumental versions of "Forever Blue."

( I even followed them both on Instagram and Facebook lol. ) I really don’t understand why they’re not bigger in popularity, they are soooo underrated. Even if I really wish that I was alive and an adult at this time ( 1987-1989 ), I still consider myself lucky to know about them. It’s nice to see that they are still active, too. If one day they make a concert in France ( more specifically in Paris), I will make sure to be there.
