my mum always used to always play me the song as a little kid. as i grew up i realised it would have been her comfort song after splitting up with my dad... heartbreaking stuff, but i have very fond memories associated with it - dancing in the kitchen with her, singing along to it in the car etc. π«ΆπΎ

When I first heard this song, I was 14. I found it on a 7" record from the 80's, along with a Panasonic turntable, collecting dust in the basement. I hooked it up to the stereo, my mother came home, I put it on. I remember us dancing in the living room and although the song was upbeat, she was soon crying.
"This was our song; your father's and mine." He had passed the year before.
We had a mother-and-son-night-in that night I'll never forget. Popcorn, dancing, TV, gossip. Many stories of my dad were told. In the background VH1 was playing, that channel that only plays music from 30 years ago. By chance the music video to that song came on.
Sorry for the wall of text. The music video is by no means a masterpiece, it's just deeply personal for me.
I still miss you, mom.

This song is tied to so many memories of my dad; I think it may only have been playing so much because it was one of the only songs he had saved on his iTunes, lol. I remember dancing with him, standing on his feet, to this song in the evenings when he got home from work before he could even change out of his suit. I still love it.

Watching her close her eyes, singing, picturing a moment from her youth. Iβm emotional.
