Comparing Howard Jones to Elvis Costello is akin to comparing a 1978 rivera especial to TJ Swan. mortimer wrote:

Can't be Costello because the lyrics are way too lame. 

 Highest summits you can't reach, last puzzle pieces you can't fit, toes in the pool but no swimmy swimmy, water water everywhere and not a drop to drink, blah blah blah.

Never knew, this man did something unplugged. On German radio you only hear "What Is Love?"

Maybe it's the upcoming 20-year high school reunion, but his music just makes me sigh... I always loved him.

I rarely hear anything by Howard Jones anymore, but whenever I do, I fondly remember seeing him in an outdoor concert at Six Flags in the Dallas area in the mid-1980s. This is a nice version of one of his trademark songs!

Heh, "eventually". I take it you haven't heard the Killers or Belle & Sebastian yet? :)

I saw him play back in the late 90s, and he'd mellowed out the synth-ness of his songs, and they all benefited. Great version of this one.

Some said the intro sounds like Nightswimming. I think the intro sounds like the "Will & Grace" theme.

I prefer the original (as I remember it) version from the '80s. I think this is okay, though.

As usual, the messages in polar opposition never cease to amaze me! Some hate it, some love it. (Count me in with the latter.) I give it an 8.

holy shit. i had my first REAL kiss to this song (the radio version) on an amusement park ride in Niagara Falls. His name was Ron and he was a soccer player from Rhode Island. I never saw him again. It was the summer of 86. I need a moment.
