Back to the Eighties: The Flame


Original video located here. Accessed 26th December 2022

Song title: The Flame

Artist: Cheap Trick

Year: 1988

Why I like this song:

I know some people don't like this song. Some people disregard it has more Power balled Malarky. Some people feel it goes against the grain of what made Cheap Trick initially so interesting.

But in this case, the romantic side of me won out.

I will certainly admit that, for years, this is song did speak the hopeless romantic in me (emphasis on the word hopeless) and in to that end it certainly had quite a bit of staying power - which is more than can be said of other songs of the same era.
