I bought the 45 of the original version of this song, by Australian band Real Life, which came out in 1983. The song was re-released in 1989 and much later remixed in a number of incarnations by a latter day version of the band. The original is still the best. It captures both the edgy new wave pop sound of the time, with synths and electronic drums, as well as the very strong gothic flavor. I had never seen the video before. It's a fun medieval interpretation which hits on the gothic aspects. This is a great song for the introverted, unrequited teenage lover inside all of us.
