When I was 7 old, I never really knew much about music but my dad took me to the dentist one day because I had to get a check up and this was playing in the wait room. This song is one of those very nostalgic items growing up to immigrant parents in the United States during the 80's. It was a charming little pop number with a great chorus and sparkly melody.
But after over 30 years of hearing this song, its lyrics standout the most, this obsession we have for power, to be conquerors to be dominant, yet all the misery and heartache that causes. Is it really worth it? Probably not.
As beautiful and well written of a song this is, underneath the charming melodies, it's also a painful one.
