BOS "True" by Spandau Ballet.

You and Mike are both sappy.
bleeech.


that's how i feel, too. maybe it's just overexposure.


IMHO, compared to the cheezy power ballads and truly sappy MOR dreck of that decade ("I've Had the Time of My Life", anyone?) "True" really stands out and above as a piece of songwriting craft.

More REM, "Fall On Me" at the 10:56 mark.

NOT complaining this time.
