SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:57 Min.
Recorded by The Thompson Twins, this track from their 1983’s Quick Step & Side Kick album is heard in the 1984 Molly Ringwald film, Sixteen Candles. Among other collections, the tune would subsequently resurface on 1998’s VH1: The Big 80’s – The Big Movies compilation album.
REVIEW:
As a New Wave pop equivalent of a cologne spritz, “If You Were Here” retains a timeless scent linking it to the mid-80s. The song’s subtle charm and slightly quirky sound makes it a decent catch for ‘80s New Wave/nostalgia pop and/or soundtrack playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
