Absolutely awesome! What talent! The Video is still ahead of its time! Aha made great use of some of the technology in this wonderful Video, with their great song and Video Take on me!
Many here are saying how underrated Costello is. This isn’t the case in the U.K. where it is pretty universally agreed he is amongst the strongest of songwriters. His ability with words and wordplay is foremost in this but his way with melody and harmonic structure is also highly regarded. So is this a transatlantic issue to do with a lack of recognition in the States?

ちょっぴり捻りの利いた独特の起伏あるメロディライン。英国物が好きな方には受けそう(^^)因みに映画「E.T」の挿入歌に使用されているとか。又、氷室京介さんもcoverしているそう♪

A great song, and a unique video.

Anyone else here because they were curious about what song Michael was singing in E.T.?
