MayOldie but a goodie: Shattered dreams.

They say that you can take a person out of a place, but you can't take that place out of that person.
Well, I like to listen to different types of music. Nothing too posh or progressive. We all know that I love Paramore and Delta Goodrem, but apart from the singers being of the same gender and writing their own songs, the similarity ends there. I've recently discovered new artists that makes music that appeals to me, like Metric, Sia, Lupe Fiasco....I could name drop forever.
But ultimately, I'm still lame and daggy.
No, don't argue.
Anyone who gets all excited whenever they hear this song play on their iPod or on the radio (you know, on the daggy Mix or Gold) is lame and daggy.
Oh, by the way, have I mentioned that I'm daggy?
Johnny Hates Jazz release Shattered Dreams in 1987. It soon became a worldwide hit for the British group, reaching #5 and #2 in the UK and US respectively. Though they also had successes with subsequent releases, lead singer and songwriter Clark Datchler left the band shortly after. The remaining members tried to continue with a replacement, but soon disbanded.
I don't know why I like this song so much. I guess it's just a really good pop song, with lyrics that don't just talk about the same old falling in love with someone, or loving someone so much. It's about disappointment and let's face it, if ever there was gonna be a truthful song about relationships, disappointment must be mentioned somewhere in there.
There are two videos for this song, the original UK version, and the US version the accompanied the songs release there. I much prefer the original UK version, so it is that version that I will share with you.
PS: In case you were wondering, the band's name came from someone they knew who really did hate jazz.
