25 Of My Favorite 80s Ballads

I love 80s ballads, and here are a few examples of why I do.
By: Caps 2.0
For my 25th article, I wanted to talk about one of my favorite types of song.
I enjoy ballads because they carry all sorts of emotions in them...Love, heartac
he, remorse and even happiness. I've felt all of those at one point or another.
The 80s has always been a favorite decade for me when it comes to music, and 80s
ballads have a certain something to them...A certain magic that connects with m
e on many levels.
Here are a few of my favorite ballads from my favorite decade. Some of them remi
nd me of my personal life, while others make me think in cinematic images, but I
love all of these.
1:
Let's start off with one of my favorite 80s dance groups, Expose, who slowed thi
ngs down with their 1988 smash "Seasons Change" from 1987's album "Exposure".

I first heard this song in 2000, which was a very uncertain year for me, as I've
talked about in several previous articles. I was 17 years old that year, turnin
g 18 on December 22nd of that year, and I was caught in this bizarre nexus betwe
en youth and adulthood, an area that lasted between 2000 and 2001. I didn't know
where things were going for me. I had assorted mental and emotional issues, I w
as having some monetary difficulties, I was arguing with teachers over being all
owed to act more like adults (meaning I wanted us to be able to curse and watch
R-rated movies without getting in trouble), friends were moving on...Things were
changing.
I heard this song and I could relate to it. It may seem to be a song about love
on the surface, but I heard it and what came to mind was how time was moving on
and moving too fast. Hell, I still have vivid nightmares about going back to sch
ool, but at the age I am now. Seasons have changed from those years, too, but it
's sometimes hard to believe that, though.
2:
The next song I would like to talk about is "Heart Of Stone" by Taylor Dayne fro
m her 1989 album "Can't Fight Fate".

This song has a great air of mystery to it. The instrumentation carries an emoti
on to it. One can imagine the rain falling on the ground as they walk down the s
treet, longing for comfort of some sort, but not really being able to find it.
Dayne carries that sentiment in this video, as we see her holding herself tightl
y while the curtain behind her is being blown by a fan as if it were the air bur
sting off the raindrops that fall to the ground.

There's a desperation to the song that, although I hesitate to say it, I find gr
eat. When I say "great", I don't mean I'm glad the song is this way. I mean that
Dayne's emoting carries a great sense of drama to it. Singers are like actors..
.Their job is to sell writing to an audience, and Dayne sells it like she's stra

ight off of Wall Street.

One of my favorite 80s ballads happens to be a cover. Although quite a few peopl
e performed it before her, from Sheena Easton to country singer Gary Morris, Bet
te Midler made the track her own. That song is "Wind Beneath My Wings".

This song does something to me, and the thing it does is remind me of my old fri
end "Bruce" (For more information on him, read my article "The Age Old Question"
). We both liked this song, alongside all sorts of other 80s songs. We had a gre
at bond. We would spend the weekends in our 11th and 12th grade years cruising a
round the county, always picking up used VHS tapes and music cassettes, taking t
ime to partake in pizza and milkshakes, just doing the things that friends do. H
e was by my side for a long time, but then he exited without saying goodbye.
As he said goodbye, another friend from my youth re-entered my life. His name is
"Chris", and we rekindled our friendship in late 2006. We caught up with each o
ther and reminisced about old times. We now talk regularly...Not as regularly as
we should, but we talk to each other a lot.
Friends are like that, and this song reflects the power of friendship, through g
ood and bad. That's why I love this song.
4:
The next track on my list is "Live To Tell" by Madonna.

This is another song that takes me back to my high school years. I was in despai
r at times. Being in a special education class can do that to you. I'm proud to
say that we were nowhere near as challenged as the mentally retarded, but we sti
ll had our own crosses to bear. There were regular fits of anger, both from me a
nd from others. It was difficult trying to go along with other people, and even
more difficult trying to be myself. My 80s fandom was accelerating in my high sc
hool years, but other students laughed at that, while the teachers just thought
it was cute. That was tough to deal with, but dealing with my thoughts towards o
ther students was even more difficult. I was thinking some horrific things, and
this was in the wake of Columbine, so it was doubly frightening. There were time
s when I didn't know if I was going to "live to tell" anything about my high sch
ool years, but here I am, almost a decade later, behind this computer and writin
g about things I love.
You know what they say: Every dark cloud has a silver lining.
5:
The next ballad I would like to talk about is one I've done at karaoke several t
imes. At karaoke, I've performed all sorts of songs from Guns 'N' Roses "Welcome
To The Jungle" to "Rumors" by Timex Social Club, but I've been willing to slow
things down, and this was a great example of that. The song I'm talking about is
"Just Once" as performed by James Ingram on Quincy Jones' 1981 album "The Dude"
.

I first heard this song on a James Ingram CD my Mom had (maybe my borrowing this

is what led to her stealing my old school funk CDs away, but that's beside the
point). Anyway, I liked this song when I first heard it. It had a great sense of
rhythm. A few years later, I started paying attention to the lyrics, and this s
ong was shattering. This is another song about desperation. You can hear it in t
he lyrics:
"Just once,
Can we figure out what we've been doing wrong?
Why the good times never last for long?
What are we doing wrong?
Just once,
Can we find a way to try and make things right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night?
I know we could break through it,
If we could just get to it just once".
This isn't just lyrics...It's the plea of a man who wants one last chance. Ingra
m takes the song on with everything he has in him, and comes out swinging all th
e way.
I love this song, and I have it in my YouTube favorites list, just like this nex
t track, performed first and best by the 1989 one-shot group Pandora's Box.
6:
The song is called "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", as performed on the album "
Original Sin".

I touched upon this in my article "Some Of My Fave 80s Women", and now I would l
ike to bring it back by talking about the woman who vocalized this one, Elaine C
aswell.

Caswell doesn't really get respect. She was the first one to perform this track,
and she did so stunningly. I hear her vocalizing and I imagine a woman standing
alone in the middle of a city. Her lover is walking away from her, and in a boo
ming voice, she's singing about their love and hate so loudly that traffic comes
to a halt, businessmen stop in their footsteps, and everything shuts down. Thes
e entities then get into the spirit and start joining her. That's what I get out
of Jim Steinman's production. Caswell's is a commanding voice, and she did this
track very well.
Let's detour for a bit and go beyond the 80s:
The song would later end up being covered, in separate versions, by Celine Dion
on her "Falling Into You" album and Meat Loaf alongside Marion Raven on the 3rd
"Bat Out Of Hell" album.

Out of these 2, I prefer Celine Dion's take on it. Her version isn't a song dema
nding attention...It's a song about secret remorse. It may not seem secret with
her loud singing, but I'm sure that all of us have screamed out our true feeling
s when no one else is around. It isn't something that should be done, due to the
draining it can do to you psychologically and even physically if you're that ri
p-roaring angry, but in private, at one point or another, we have all spoken lou
dly about our feelings, for better or for worse.

We now arrive at Meat Loaf and Marion Raven's version. When Meat Loaf is given t
he right material, he can still tear the fucker up. On the 3rd "Bat Out Of Hell"
, there's a raucous ball-buster of a tune called "If It Ain't Broke (Break It)"
that kicks all sorts of ass. Unfortunately, the 3rd "Bat Out Of Hell" album is a
lso host to his version of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now". He had been meaning
to record it for many years, but assorted difficulties too complicated to menti
on caused a delay in his version. When he finally performed it, I think his voic
e wasn't suited to a track like this. His voice is hard-edged and hence it needs
a hard track. This one, while dramatic, can often seem soft. I feel like the re
ason that they bought Marion Raven in was because they needed someone to make th
is version seem less weary by comparison.
It didn't really work, at least to me. Meat Loaf is straining here...You can fee
l his vocals getting worn like an old wrinkled suit. Give him something hard-edg
ed and he'll fuck things up good...Give him a ballad and he'll fuck things up ba
d.
To end this mini-discussion of the song, I would once again like to toast Elaine
Caswell. Her vocals bring in the right combination of minimalism and excitement
that a lot of Steinman's work requires. "Original Sin" turns 20 next year. Let'
s see a re-release of it!
Now let's loop back to the 80s with the 7th song on the list.
7:
I would like to discuss the song "Human Nature" by Michael Jackson.

I have made quite a few jokes about Jackson. Many of us have. It's a recurring t
heme on here. In the midst of all these jokes, though, it's sometimes easy for m
e to forget his singing abilities.
This is a song that takes me back to the Summer Of 1997. I had graduated the 8th
grade and I was off to high school after the Summer was over. In the midst of t
hat Summer, I visited the Jersey Shore with my family. I had purchased the "Thri
ller" album on CD shortly before the trip down there, and I played this song a l
ot on the journey.
The song
ve or to
be seen
n? Maybe

impacts me because it makes me wonder what human nature is. Is it to lo

hate or to simply exist? The song can be seen as a love song, or it can
as a look at what we can do and be as people. Is it pleasure? Is it pai
it's best to say that it is what it is.

Let's move on, shall we?

8:
The next song I would like to talk about is Honeymoon Suite's theme to the 1987
movie "Lethal Weapon".

This is one of my favorite examples of the power ballad. It only lasts for a lit
tle under 3 minutes, but within those minutes a question is raised. That questio
n? How dangerous can love be?

The opening lyrics sort it out:

"When you lose your love,
And it makes your life turn cold.
When it tears you apart,
Your heart and soul just can't go on.
Love's alive, it sets you free,
And when it's gone, it's plain to see,
How even love can become a lethal weapon".
When I hear this song, I think of stalkers. I think of those people who want a r
elationship to continue even though it's over on one end. That could also be app
lied to Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) as well.

It's difficult for Riggs to keep going on. He has lost his love, and he's always
trying to figure out a way to reunite with her. Begging for a drug dealer to sh
oot him and putting a gun in his mouth can be seen as him preparing to stalk his
deceased wife into the next world. She was everything to him.
When Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) tries calling Riggs on his bluff, Riggs puts
the gun to his face and you can hear the click-click. This leads Murtaugh to say
:
"You're not trying to draw a psycho pension! YOU REALLY ARE CRAZY!"
I know I go on about "Lethal Weapon" a lot, but it's like an all-purpose movie f
or me. Comedy, drama, action, music, some T&A, a lot of profanity...Isn't that r
eally what life is about?
Now let's get out of the visual and back to the aural with the next song on the
list.
9:
The track is "Come As You Are" by The Tubes from the ill-fated 1985 album "Love
Bomb".

This is another song of great complexity. At the same time, at least to my ears,
it's a love song and a song about wanting love to return. Sometimes you can be
so rhapsodically in love with someone that they become a part of you...They beco
me part of your life, your work, your writings, you as a person. When that perso
n walks away, they leave you with a sense of emptiness. Who lives with me now, o
ne might wonder. You've devoted so much of your life to this person and for them
to leave can do something to you that nothing else can. You want to move Heaven
and Earth to get back that person, but you usually end up on your knees. That's
the pressure that love can put you under, and that's why I feel this is a great
ballad. It's realistic to how so many people feel.
Similar sentiments can be expressed in the 10th song on this list.
10:
The song is "Everything" by Jody Watley off the 1989 album "Larger Than Life".

I love the production on this. It fits Watley's vocals quite well. This is a rel
axing song but with rather sad lyrics. When I hear it, I can imagine somebody wh
o is housebound, discomforted by what's happened in their personal life. I've se
en several relationships get ruined in my life, and I'm not talking about person
al ones here. I've been working at Wal-Mart for over 6 years, and I've seen a lo
t of broken relationships both inside and outside the store. I won't name names
or give details, but I can easily imagine them relating to a song like this.
It's a song about regret, and who hasn't had regrets that could be summed up in
lyrics like this:
"I was too blind to see,
When you belonged to me,
You were my everything.
Now I'd give anything,
To feel the love you bring,
You were my everything".
It's difficult to think about, but many relationships fade. No love lasts foreve
r. I mean, divorce rates have been climbing over the course of the past few deca
des, and that, combined with pre-mature deaths, can lead to distress on many lev
els.
It's a little heavy, but love itself can be so. They say that pain is a part of
life and that life isn't fair, but if you substitute the word "love" for "life",
then it could make sense as well.
Now it's time to go to 11, but not in a pop-rocking way.
11:
Now I would like to talk about the song "Forever Young" By Rod Stewart.

The song may not seem like a ballad, but the lyrics have a great dramatic impact
. The screenshot above, which came from a "Pop-Up Video" airing of the piece, di
stills the concept quite well.
It's a song that holds some personal significance for me. It was one of the last
songs I heard on the radio when a driver I had would drive me to work.
For monetary and personal reasons, I feel that learning to drive would be hard f
or me. As such, I have to rely on taxis to get to and from work. I was cool with
this driver for many years, but then something came about that pissed him off.
I don't know what it was that I had done to do so, but all of a sudden, he was a
ngry at me. This was an older guy who I sort of related to as a father figure. I
would tell him about things at work and in my life, and vice versa. Things went
flying out the window and all of a sudden, I was number one on his shit list.
I tried reasoning with him and making peace with him, but it never worked. A mis
take that worried a whole bunch of people tore things up between us once and for
all. He was insulting both me and my Mom, and I just said "fuck it". I now use
another cab company when he's driving.
It gets me to wondering what it means to be forever young. Does it mean to be an
gry or to be peaceful? Both are youthful emotions that can be carried into adult
hood, and while it may seem easy to do, it's difficult to reconcile the two.
I guess Rod was just trying to say "be calm"...That makes sense. It's what we al

l aspire to be, even if it doesn't always work.

Let's go to number 12.
12:
I was buying cassettes well into this decade, even as the format was on its' las
t legs. One of the albums I picked up was Living In A Box's self-titled album.

The song that stayed with me the most on this album was the track "So The Story
Goes". Not all ballads have to be slow. Some can be quite danceable, and this so
ng is a good example of that.
This song brings about a set of images to me. The images are of a man cruising t
hrough a big city. He's reminiscing about his lost love...He's remembering the p
laces they would hang out, but he's too uncertain about what to do next.
It's the chorus that has these thoughts come to mind:
"If it's love you want,
Let the feelings show.
Follow your heart,
So the story goes.
If there's time for us,
Baby, Heaven knows,
Love will return,
So the story goes.
I love you".
There's a sense of uncertainty to this song. Should
be? Sting once sang "If you love somebody, set them
out of this song. Sometimes it's best to let things
the way it has to be, but things may end up turning

I make a move or let things

free". I get the same thing
go. It may hurt, but that's
back in your favor someday.

One can only hope.

Let's move on to track 13.
13:
The next song I would like to talk about is "Woman In Chains" by Tears For Fears
and Oleta Adams.

This is another song I can relate to. When I say that, I mean that I can relate
to the nihilism of the song. It's ostensibly about a woman's struggle, but it ca
n be about anyone's struggle, really. When you work in retail, you can see the d
esperation first-hand.
I've been working at Wal-Mart for over 6 years now, and while I have had a few p
roblems with co-workers and managers, all in all, the store has helped me. It's
provided me with a steady job and helped me to learn skills that don't always co
me easy to people. I enjoy working there.
There are many who don't, though. They come in day after day and complain about
the store. It's par for the course, to be sure, but these guys take the annoyanc
e to its' outer limits. They never compliment the store...They always attack it

at every turn. The term "Wally World" is frequently used. I don't whether they m
ean that they think the place is wacky, or that they're about to snap and take e
verything with him, but when I hear them going on like this, I want to say "Hey,
you don't like working here? There's the door. Don't let it hit your ass on the
way out!". Why continue doing something when it's something you hate?
Okay, let's calm down and head to the movies for our next ballad.
14:
The next song I would like to talk about is "Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker a
nd Jennifer Warnes from the hit "An Officer And A Gentleman".

I first heard this song on an episode of "Alvin And The Chipmunks", where the Ch
ipmunks and Chipettes were working to preserve some wildlife. The metaphors beca
me illustrated as the groups performed this song outdoors.
I later heard the lyrics when I was older, and I really paid attention to it. Wh
at I got out of it was a tale of how love can inspire you. It doesn't matter wha
t happens in your life...If you have someone who loves you, then everything can
be okay. You can wake up, look at the world and feel relaxed. You'll say "Here I
am...What do you have?".
We should all be so lucky as to have inspiration like that in our lives.
The 15th song on my list also came from a movie soundtrack.
15:
The next ballad I would like to discuss is the song "For Your Eyes Only" by Shee
na Easton from the 1981 James Bond movie of the same name.

This is a song about a solid bond (forgive the pun). For some, love is about sex
, and for others, it's about companionship. This song combines those two sentime
nts and tosses in so many other elements that it's hard to list them all. The en
d result is a sweeping ballad about the glorious mix we call "love". I earlier m
ade reference to how life can be hard, and love can be, too, but when things are
clicking, both can be wonderful things.
Another thing I like about this song is how grandly it expresses the idea of acc
eptance. Everybody has felt that there's something wrong with them, and they hop
e for a welcome of any sort. This song is about that kind of welcome.
These lyrics remind me of those sentiments:
"For your eyes only,
Only for you.
You see what no one else can see,
Now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only,
Only for you,
The love I know you need in me,
The fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you".
Those are some of the most romantic lines I have ever heard in a song. Who hasn'

t wanted to feel that sense of acceptance on any level? This is a song that make
s you think...Is there someone out there for everyone? Maybe there is and maybe
there isn't, but a song like this can make you hope that someone will come along
to romance you and say "You're wonderful". We all need to hear things like that
.
Let's move on to number 16.
16:
This songs comes from a movie, too, but not the type you might expect. The song
is called "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its' Own", and it's performed by Kim Carnes an
d Jeffrey Osborne.

The song is about the distances that come about in love. Whether the separation
is physical or emotional, every romance has a sense of anxiety about it at one p
oint or another. Do I love this person? Is "'Til Death Do Us Part" a good idea?
Should I call a lawyer?
Every romance has its' difficulties...All you can do is make an effort to overco
me them. If you can do that, then God Bless you. If not, then hold on tight...Th
ings can get really tough really quick.
Many ballads come from dramas or action movies, but this one came from a comedy.
That comedy?
"Spaceballs"!

This song can be heard after Lone Starr and Barf (Bill Pullman and John Candy, r
espectively) have left the diner. Barf is complaining about his hunger, while Lo
ne Starr is thinking about his experience with Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). H
e's driving away and she's about to marry the dorky Prince Valium (Jim J. Bulloc
k) (And remember, everybody, dork is a slang term for penis!). There's a distanc
e for each one. Starr is distant from Vespa by way of his Winnebago, while Vespa
is distant from Valium by her love of Starr, which is stoked when she finds out
that he didn't take all the money he wanted.
They're able to reunite, but not all lovers can. That's the great thing about mo
vies...They allow us to imagine things the way we want them to be, and if we pla
y our cards right, our dreams can become reality. I dreamed of being a writer, a
nd that dream came true. What's you dream and has it come true? Do you think it
will?
Let's move on to track 17.
17:
This comes from an artist who you might not expect to do a ballad.
The lady is Samantha Fox and the ballad is "True Devotion".

In many of her songs, Fox promised to take her lover on a ride of turbo-charged
sexuality. From "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" to "I Wanna Have Some Fun", her M.
O was always to get her lover sexed-up. This song wasn't like that, though.

Instead, the song detailed love and not lust. Even the most charged of people ne
ed to take a break once in a while. When I hear this song, I can imagine Fox and
her lover on a picnic. Some iced tea and sandwiches, a blanket on the ground, t
alking about the joy they feel around each other...Something relaxing. Yeah, the
y can get to the raunchy stuff later, but for now, they're taking things easy. T
hat's something you should do in a relationship...Take time to relax. I think th
at's what dates are all about. You take your lover out to dinner or to a movie o
r both, and you share things...Laughs, tears, embraces.
I know I'll get something like that again someday, but it'll take a long time to
get there. Love doesn't come easy, though, does it?
There's another song I like that doesn't necessarily sound like a ballad, but it
impacts me the way a ballad would.
18:
The song is "Manchild" by Neneh Cherry.

For all I know, this article could also be called "My High School Playlist". Thi
s is another one of those songs that I often listened to in my 11th and 12th gra
de years. I found myself relating to these lyrics:
"Manchild,
Look at the state you're in.
Manchild,
Will you ever win?"
Sometimes in high school, one can
to drag like hours, and thoughts
ning this? I'll probably just end
this song...That was something I

feel a sense of hopelessness. The minutes seem

cross your mind like "What's the point of lear
up flipping burgers". That's what I got out of
could relate to.

I shared this with the school psychologist, but she never heard of the song. I d
on't think she understood what I was talking about. She did bring up a book call
ed "Manchild In The Promised Land", but I'm guessing that was just her frame of
reference.
It's strange...For example, I talked to her about "The Breakfast Club" and how t
hey all became friends, but she asked me "Do they remain friends?". The question
is never really answered in the movie, so maybe she was just putting me on the
spot, but in the end, she would talk with me about this movie, while the other t
eachers refused to play it in class, instead preferring the live-action version
of "The Adventures Of Rocky & Bullwinkle". As a Nerd much wiser than me once sai
d, "What were they thinking?".
We now come to number 19.
19:
I chose the song "These Dreams" by Heart.

Many people view this as a negative turning point for Heart, but I love this son
g. There's a great combination of hope and sadness to it.

This song is one that got a lot of airplay in my high school years, if only on m
y Walkman. I was dreaming way too much for the teachers. When I was supposed to
be writing down facts the teacher told us, instead I was writing ideas for 80s-r
elated entertainments. I would write lists of 80s movies and TV shows, and come
up with ideas on how to utilize them. In all my day-dreaming, I forgot to write
down the facts I was supposed to.
I was able to make it through the years, and I did see my dream of being a write
r come true as I write for this website. I'm learning new things every day with
this site, and the things I'm learning push me to dream further. That's what I g
ot out of this song.
Let's move on to number 20.
20:
This is a song that boosted me up in the months following my dad's death.
The song is "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.

I was thinking many things in the months following my dad's death...A lot of it
was tough. As detailed in my article "Don't Call Me A Poser", my dad bought a ca
ssette of Peter Gabriel's "So" shortly before his death.
I listened to it a lot and this song really stuck with me. My school years were
always tough, but there was something about this song that kept me going.
What makes it for me is Kate Bush's singing. She has a soothing tone about her t
o counter the tortured cries of Gabriel. I did have a decent amount of people on
my side...I just wish I could remember them. When Bush sang:
"When times get rough,
You can fall back on us.
Don't give up,
Please don't give up":
I thought that things can only get better (Oops...I think I'll save that song fo
r an upbeat 80s songs article).
80s music has really served as a lifesaver for me. Whenever I'm feeling down, an
80s song can cheer me up, even a ballad. Pretty much all the CDs I have are 80s
CDs or feature a significant amount of 80s music on them.
Some people have alcohol...Others have cocaine...I have the 80s, and it makes me
feel good without killing me, although many who saw the decade first-hand look
back and feel like they were killing taste and decorum. I disagree with that ass
essment, but that's just me.
Onward to number 21.
21:
This is a mid-tempo ballad with a soulful feel to it. The song is "Just To See H
er" by Smokey Robinson.

This song reminds me of many older women I've talked to throughout the years. No

, it hasn't been for romance...It's been to talk about the popular culture that
I like while they saw it first-hand. These are women I've worked with, and I've
always been able to find a bond with them. I've also talked to quite a few of th
ese women online, on message boards and places like that.
I eventually lose contact with them, though. No, I'm not chalking it up to Asper
gers'. What it is is that time just goes by way too fast, and people can be gone
just like that.
If you work in retail, then you tend to see more turn-overs than in a bakery. As
sociates come and go...And occasionally come again...And then end up going. I tr
y my best to procure leads on where these women have gone, but it's difficult. T
hankfully, I've been able to talk to a few of them on MySpace, but many of them
just fade away.
I can relate to Smokey's singing. This is a person who has known heartache and l
ove and still come out through all of it.
I plan on singing this at karaoke soon. I always like to shake things up.
Let's move on to number 22.
22:
This is a song I find very cinematic. The song is "I Still Believe" by Brenda K.
Starr.

This is a song I connect with my Summer 2000 trip to the Jersey Shore to visit s
ome family members who were on vacation there. I had a 5-cassette set of a Top 1
00 Of 1988 countdown, and I listened to all the songs on there and enjoyed them.
This track is the one that stuck with me the most, though.
Whenever I hear this song, I imagine a lonely person on the Jersey Shore. It's a
great time when the Summer is at its' peak, but in the Winter, it's desolation.
This person is pondering a Summer-long relationship that didn't work out. Still
, there's a hope that the two lovers might reunite.
Starr sings:
"If there's one spark of hope,
That's in my grasp,
I'll hold it with both hands.
It's worth the risk of burning,
To have a second chance".
It's that one spark that all of us have within ourselves that keeps us going. It
really makes me feel good...It may sound like the kind of a track that's suited
to those sentiments, but the great thing about music is that everybody gets som
ething different out of it. There are no finite terms...The mind is as open as a
canvas waiting to be worked on.
Art is life and life is art. We just need to do things as best we can, and with
any luck, the results will be great.
The next song is one I played a lot on my ways to and from school.
23:

The song is "Next To You" by Paula Abdul.

I've written about many 80s things throughout the years, but Abdul has always sl
ipped through the cracks. She was actually a major part of my high school experi
ence as well.
In the final few weeks before 11th Grade began, I purchased a bunch of used CDs
at Media Play, a now-defunct chain of stores that had a stunning array of entert
ainment of all sorts. I often return there in my dreams, and it's just as vivid
as it was all those years ago.
The vividness is spurred on by this song, released on the album "Forever Your Gi
rl".
I had to wake up at 5:30 AM in the morning to go over the bridge to get to schoo
l. I was often groggy, and I wanted to hear something soothing on the ride up. T
his song was very soothing.
They were less strict about CD players back then. If you wanted to bring one in
and listen to it in free period, then the teachers wouldn't say anything. It wou
ld often allow me a chance to listen to albums with explicit lyrics. If I couldn
't see R-rated movies in school, then I could at least listen to R-rated music.
When I hear this song, I think of the end of Summer. It mattered a lot to me in
my younger years, but as I work now, there's really no difference in seasons to
me. Not that I mind that, though...Work is a lot easier than school. I have a lo
t of people on my side at work. Even those who disagree with a lot of the things
I say think that I'm a great cart-pusher.
The only exception is this one assistant manager who I have many nicknames for,
but I have the store manager on my side. The assistant manager has to answer to
him, and I can always rely on the store manager to give me a boost. He understan
ds my issues and always compliments me on the job I do.
Let's leave work aside, though. "Next To You" is a warm and comforting track tha
t takes me to a place and time that was mine and mine alone (well, alongside the
driver). Between home and school, it was my territory, and Paula Abdul always h
ad a place on my CD player.
It's time to move to track 24.
24:
The song I would like to write about now is "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx
.

There's just something in this song that

things. She gave me her number again and

We had a great bond with each other, and I don't know if we'll ever get it back.

Marx's song is about longing for a past love...I'm longing to revive a friendsh
ip. There are some similiarities between the two. Both situations are open-ended
...The song didn't have a definitive conclusion. You wonder if they reunite...Th
e ideas are yours' to write about.
As for my situation, I just have this feeling that this friendship will come bac
k someday.
This leads me into the final track on the list.
25:
The song is "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles.

As this song ends my article, it also ended the 80s. It came out in 1989. Things
were changing, and many things that were popular in the 80s would end up becomi
ng objects of mockery by those who viewed them, listened to them, wore them and
even MADE them.
To me, the "Eternal Flame" is 80s pop culture. I go on YouTube and I notice that
many of the comments on 80s videos come from people who were born in the 80s, a
nd they almost unanimously speak in celebration of the decade's culture.
80s pop culture has come to be celebrated instead of vilified. Movies like "Fast
Times At Ridgemont High" and "Back To The Future" are part of the National Film
Registry. Shows like "Miami Vice" have seen their entirety released on DVD. The
music, once more, is still drawing in audiences after all these years.
We don't pay attention to the aesthetics...We go for the content, and the conten
t will always be there to entertain us, just like these 25 songs have.
This is my 25th article for the site, and I would like to thank everybody on thi
s site for being there. Every day I'm on here I learn something new. I've learne
d things on here of many sorts, from matters of pop culture to ideas on how to l
ive life.
This website has helped me to grow, and it's really been a boost to my feelings
about being a writer. I always try and write the best article I can. Sometimes I
win and sometimes I lose, but I always get something out of what is said to me.
Thanks to all of you who read my articles, and here's to the next 25.
So, with that, the floor is open for discussions:
What are your favorite 80s ballads? What are your feelings on ballads in general
? What would you have put on your list?

great article. I am a big fan of the 80s and love 80s music and despite that I d
idn't know many of these great songs. so thanks for introducing them to me.
Funky Guy Posted 6 years 2 months ago

Both in the 80's and now I only like two songs from your list, Heart's These Dre
ams and Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's duet on Don't Give Up.
Some of my favorite 80's ballads are:
Roger Daltrey - After the Fire (written by Pete Townshend)
Belinda Carsile - Circle in the Sand
Martika - Toy Soldiers
The Pretenders - Hymn to Her
Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street
Joy Division - Atmosphere
and
Crowded House - Don't Dream it's Over

Even though I was born in '79, I have always considered myself a child of the '8
0s. The pop culture and music that permeated that era is still very much alive a
nd well in my mind today. It's obvious that it's also alive and well in the hear
ts and minds of others, as we're starting to see the reanimation of those popula
r icons that ruled in that era. We've recently had the live action Transformers
movie. They're making a live-action G.I. Joe movie, and even He-Man and the Mast
ers of the Universe got a brief reincarnation a few years ago.
Any friend of the 1980's is a friend of mine!

Man, what happened to James Ingram and Jeffrey Osbourne?...
Great article!
dalmatianlover Posted 6 years 2 months ago
You beat me to it, Caps! I was going to make an article about power ballads, but
you beat me to it! This was a nice list, even though I'm not familiar with a ma
jority of the songs you listed.

"We don't pay attention to the aesthetics."
On the contrary, I think the aesthetic qualities of a lot of 80s music (and pop
culture in general) are what people are into. Just think of the Fairlight CMI sy
nthesizer.
-----What I had meant to say was that there are many who listen to and view 80s music
and all they see is big hair, outrageous clothing and lots of make-up, without
paying attention to the music itself. Perhaps "visuals" is the word I should've
gone with.
Thanks for all the feedback so far, guys. It's nice to know that my work is appr
eciated.
thabz Posted 6 years 2 months ago
Human Nature was one of my best songs (still is and it really takes me back) and
also I wasn't sure exactly what he singing about, but i guess that was beauty o
f it. Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting is a timeless classic!
One of my favourite 80s ballad had to be Taja Sevelle's 'Love Is Contagious'. Do
es anyone remember that one?
Hoju Koolander Posted 6 years 2 months ago
Happy 25th! I had to tread this one in two parts, but it made me realize I know
so little about 80's music, just the overdone stuff you hear on compilation albu
ms. It was cool to get a look into a few one hit wonder type artists.

Your comment on people at work who just complain all day has ben a pet peeve of
mine for my entire working life. I say make the best of your work experience, no
matter what it is. If you are unhappy then leave, But don't try to drag me down
with you. Even when I worked at Disneyland other employees would complain to me
and I would say, "You work at at Disneyland-what's there to complain about?"
StarSprinkles84 Posted 6 years 2 months ago
I thought I was the only one who loved Human Nature by Michael Jackson. Great ar
ticle :)

I agree with you on 'Eternal Flame'. That song is the sound of the 80s to me. I
remember hearing it a lot when I was really little. I guess my parents had the C
D. I get depressed whenever I hear it, because it's a link to the 80s that almos
t seems tangible but is merely ethereal.

Great article!! I would have put Kenny Loggins Meet Me Halfway from Over The Top
on there just because its a great love theme!!
RetroRickster923 Posted 6 years 2 months ago
Pretty good songs... =)
Kimber76 Posted 6 years 2 months ago
Great article! I always love reading your insights and personal experiences. I'm
in agreement for many on your list. The ballads of the late 80's always bring m
e back to Junior High, which was the best of times and the worst of times...firs
t loves, new friends, "boy-girl" parties, heartache, being ostracized, ugly-duck
ling syndrome...
Anyhow I digress. I had many many ballad mixed tapes, mainly for use at said boy
-girl parties, but I also found them a great source of comfort when I was feelin
g down. I'd have to say my favourite ballad of the 80's was another Expose song
called "Never Get Over You Getting Over Me." Just clicked with me somehow. "Righ
t Here Waiting" is right up there too.
Keep up with the great articles! :-)
Caps 2.0 Posted 6 years 2 months ago
I did make one mistake. Taylor Dayne's album "Can't Fight Fate" was released in
1989, but "Heart Of Stone" wasn't released as a single until 1990. I still class
ify "Heart Of Stone" as an 80s song, though, because it came from an album relea
sed in 1989.

By: Kevin Tilford
10. This Time I Know It's For Real (1989) by Donna Summer
The #1 song of 1989 spent 5 weeks at #1 during the year. Another song (WILD THIN
G by Tone Loc) actually spent 6 weeks at #1 in 1989, but its overall points base
d on its other chart positions during the year weren't enough to overtake the fo
rmer "Queen of Disco" for the year's top spot.
9. Tonight (1984) by Kool & The Gang
6 weeks at #1 in 1984, and it only finished #3 for the YEAR!
8. Stars On 45 Medley (1981) by Stars On 45
This is a pre-KT chart song that I'm estimating would've spent 6 weeks at #1 in
1981. The projected chart calculations for the Beatles' imitators disco medley w
ould place it here for the decade.
7. Cover Me (1984) by Bruce Springsteen
The "Boss" took this to #1 for 7 weeks in 1984. It resulted in the closest finis
h between the #1 & #2 songs of any year between 1981-1992 on the KT charts. The
best rock genre song of the decade.
6. Girls Just Want To Have Fun (1984) by Cyndi Lauper
It spent 7 weeks at #1 in 1984, making it the #1 song of the year. The song expl
oded for me on my chart after seeing the music video.
5. Everybody Have Fun Tonight (1986-1987) by Wang Chung
Spent a total of 7 weeks at #1; 5 weeks in 1986 and 2 weeks in 1987. Because of
the overlap in years, the points it earned were split between 2 years, & as a re
sult, the song didn't finish #1 for either year. It was #8 for 1986, and #33 for
1987.
4. West End Girls (1986) by Pet Shop Boys
8 weeks at #1 in 1986, & #1 for the year.
3. Billie Jean (1983) by Michael Jackson
#1 for 8 weeks on the "KT TOP 25" in 1983, & the #1 song of 1983. Michael Jackso
n finished 1-2 in 1983; BEAT IT was the #2 song of 1983. In fact, Michael Jackso
n held the #1 spot for 12 straight weeks in 1983. BILLIE JEAN ran for 8 straight
weeks, then was knocked out of #1 by BEAT IT, which held the top spot for the n

ext 4 weeks.
2. Another One Bites The Dust (1980) by Queen
I didn't have a weekly chart in 1980; however, I estimate that this song would'v
e spent either 9 or 10 weeks at #1. Estimated points for a song with that much t
ime at #1 would've placed it here, based on the other songs listed and their act
ual point totals.
1. Everything She Wants [45 Remix] (1985) by Wham!
Spent 10 weeks at #1 on the "KT TOP 25" during 1985. Obviously the #1 song of 19
85 as well as the 1980's.
This list was mostly compiled based on my strong interest in music and the music
charts. From late 1981 to 1992, I created my own weekly chart of current favori
te songs (it varied from 20 to 30 songs per week). I made up a point system to e
valuate each song based on weekly chart positions, peak position, and weeks spen
t on the chart; then at the end of the year, calculated each song's points and r
anked them based on total points earned. Two songs listed (ANOTHER ONE BITES THE
DUST and STARS ON 45 MEDLEY) were songs that were released before I began doing
a formal weekly chart. They are included here because even though I didn't have
a formal chart, I made a strong estimate of what sort of impact these two songs
would've had if I had a weekly chart during 1980 & 1981, & I'm confident that t
hese two songs would've finished in these positions for the 1980's. Call me "KT
Kasem". ;-)

By: Retronut
10. On The Loose by Saga
Synthesisers and power! This is my most favourite song from the 80's.
9. Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners
I have no idea whatever happened to these guys, but this was another of those on

8. Big Country by Big Country
Love 'em or hate 'em, no one can deny that Big Country was one of the consummate
80's bands.
7. The Final Countdown by Europe
The 80's were all about the synthesiser. This song is no exception. Europe used
it masterfully.
6. Saved By Zero by The Fixx
Listen carefully to the synth effects in this song. Nothing written today matche
s its creativity. I don't think was considered one of The Fixx's better works, b
ut it was one of my favourites.
5. Take On Me by A-Ha
I can't tell you how many guys I've heard try to scream out those lyrics. :P Thi
s is one of the essentials of 80's pop rock.
4. Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds
This song (along with Take On Me by A-Ha) represented the best of best when it c
ame to music in the 80's.
3. She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby
The 80's were all about one-hit wonders. This little gem is the best I've ever h
eard in the long succession of acts that exploded onto the scene only to end wit
h a small whine.
2. Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder
"Ain't nothin' ever gonna break-ah mah stride!" Probably one of the most sing-so
ngy hits of its day. Catchy and easy to sing along with. Anyone know whatever ha
ppened to this guy?
1. Heat of the Moment by Asia
What radio station was complete without this song? Asia was cross-genre for musi
c lovers, hitting on rock rhythms and a touch of pop.

Academia Rafael Leito

Como montar uma programao de treinamento
tenha disciplina
crie motivao pra estudar
tenha pacincia
= crie o hbito de tomar decises
(ningum aprende jogar xadrez jogando na internet, voce nao vai amadurecer, entend
er melhor a vida e jogar melhor o xadrez)
plano de longo prazo, um jogo difcil
Criar hbito de tomadas de decises
(treino de clculo, usar o tabuleiro)
Parte 1: Enxadrista at 1900.
Dominando os Fundamentos Bsicos - jogador nesse nvel no so capazes de refutar lies...
Estrutura de pees, debilidades.... rei em segurana...
Mais importante: Treinar a viso combinatria/aprender a calcular
- conhecer os finais bsicos = rei > pees
finais de torres bsicos Esqueleto do repertrio de abertura alguns do mais importncia s aberturas que aos clculos de variantes - nao necessrio ab
erturas, o clculo de variantes (exemplo com uma partida, decidir as linhas que vai jogar, observar as aberturas

no Fritz.... criar uma base no esqueleto de abertura - conhecer partidas modelo

s - no perder tempo exageradamente com aberturas)
Estudar livros de partidas clssicas > fundamental nessa fase entender a evoluo do j
ogo de xadrez > conhecer os campees mundiais > Leito acha obrigatrio conhecer a his
tria dos campees de xadrez >
ROTEIRO

Combinaes/clculo: 50% Leito diz que se (enciclopdia de combinaes, coleo Yusupov) m

o tempo fazer clculos com posies - livros de partidas - Zurich 53, algum livro de p
artidas, ver a integrao do clculo e estratgia >
livro de partidas 20% do tempo.
Finais: 15%
(exemplo com empate de bispo e peo)
conhecer posies de fortaleza nesse exemplo e finais de torres.
Aberturas: 15% livros do Watson > livros bsicos de aberturas >
Interessante escolher um jogador modelo >
PARTE 2: Enxadristas de 1900 - 2300
conhecer temas, profilxia, aprofundar os passos anteriores (1900), aberturas tero
um peso maior,
quais os objetivos do adversrio?
Saber sacrifcios posicionais...
Clculo deixa de ser viso combinatria, vira ganhos posicionais.
Conhecimentos de finais, ver posies tcnicas - poucas peas mas no so finais...
aprofundar o repertrio de abertura, comear a usar o computador
(chessbase)
jogador avanado, fazer uma base especfica pra cada abertura - comea a ver as posies m
ais interessantes, usar software de anlise - de 1900 no usar - no deixar o computad
or pensar por voc Incio das anlises independentes - jogadores mais fracos no conseguem discutir com o
livro...
ROTEIRO
40% combinaes clculos - entra mais complexos - perfect your chess, Volokitin; Dvore
tsky, Analitical Manual
20% Livros de partidas de meio jogo > Predecessores, Yusupov ...
Finais 20% Endg
ame Manual, Fundamental Chess Endings
Aberturas 20% - bases de dados, livros avanados (o problema aqui fizemos 110%)
Treinar viso combinatria diariamente - no se ganha partidas na abertura, esquea essa
ideia...
Depois de uma hora, bom dar um descano
Parte 3 - Enxadristas acima de 2300
hora pensar com a prpria cabea.
Criar coisa diferente aqui, estudar e ganhar o fruto de uma preparao terica > muito
s param de melhorar quando chegam nesse nvel...
porque continuam pensando da mesma forma, treinam da mesma maneira (como os pass
os anteriores).
Momento de fazer anlises da prpria cabea, no melhora sem criar novas ideias.
Objetivos: melhorar a compreenso do jogo.
Mais importante - criar anlises independentes - (refutar variantes) ....
Desenvolver o jogo posicional e tcnicas de finais. Endgame Strategy - Shereshevsk
y - partidas do Ulf Anderson, Magnus, Karpov...
Analisar posies crticas do repertrio...
Treinar tomada de decises complexas .

Analisar uma partida no chessbase, modo training e tentar ganhar como o jogador
original fez.
Feedback com o Houndini.
ROTEIRO
10% Viso combinatria (combinaes, pegar o livro do Informant... )
Clculo/partidas/tomadas de decises 35%.
Finais 15%
Aberturas 40%, analisar posies crticas... base de dado...
praticar exerccios fsicos
ler livros de xadrez por lazer
acompanhar torneios de elite
Analisar as prprias partidas.
(por questes de feedback, analisar partidas prprias invs de olhar as outras, pode s
ubstituir)
Chegar a 2300 qualquer jogador chega, a idade pra ser super-GM.
Voltar a forma, fazer exerccios de clculos.
