Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 58 - Howard Jones (Things Can Only Get Better)

The title for today's song is very apt...  Things can only get better, because they certainly can't get any worse.

Released in February 1985 as the first single from HoJo's Dream Into Action album, it peaked at number 6 on the UK Charts.

As with most Howard Jones songs, this one reminds me of a happier, less stressful time in my life, playing on the Commodore 64 in my bedroom while Howard Jones (and Nik Kershaw, and Level 42) would be played by my sister in the room next door.

I really wish I could go back in time and relive the 1980s all over again.  Family walks from Leigh-on-Sea to Southend, family game nights, playing Go For Broke and Game of Life on the kitchen table, seeing my friends daily, and of course playing on my C64, with the only thing to worry about being having to make sure my homework was in on time.
