I am 62 and have tears in my eyes as I listen to this .... remembering back to a different time, a time of my youth. Everything back then was new and exciting. I had energy enough to light New York at night. Life was fun, going out was an experience, and life was full of promise. I was young, good looking, and ready to face the world. ............. I miss those days ............

I was 9 when this song came out in 1982. I heard it in the grocery store today, and it certainly took me right back to the early ‘80s again. Life was so, so simple back then. I didn’t know it, but my career in computers was about to begin with a Commodore 64 in the wings. Roller rinks, arcades, bowling, hanging with friends in real life for hours till dark…and amazing music like this. I hope kids reading this can enjoy some of that spirit through this song. It’s not easy, but put down the phone and just enjoy the sights and sounds of life and the world around you…time flies!!

I did learn some Basic, & by year 2000 was an expert with Windows 2000/ Windows NT. But my career was in heavy engine work & electronic fuel injection. Computers? Not so much 🎼💜

A great track is a great track if you feeling it,granted I like so genres more than others but still won’t stop me listening or appreciating good music from artists that are a outside my usual sphere. It’s what is so great about music,the discovery of a track or group that really grabs you,even if it’s not what you are expected to like.Peace and love my to all the music lovers,it will always see us through ❤️🙏🏾👊🏾

1982 was part of the PEAK of modern civilization. Some would say 1976 till 2000 is the peak since that's POST-Vietnam but PRE-911. However, I would argue it's 1976 till 2014 since it's after Vietnam but a year before all the modern day political crap would begin. So I'm going with 1976 till 2014. However, I would argue that the 1980's is the BEST decade (the vast majority of things are near perfect, with few exceptions) and 1982 truly hits that sweet spot of paradise.

I kinda feel sorry for people who didn’t get to experience the 80s in person. So much nostalgia and coming of age (for some of us). I spent the 80s from age 10 to 20, so pretty much carefree and enjoying my time. These songs put me back in that headspace.

I had energy enough to light New York at night. Life was fun, going out was an experience, and life was full of promise. I was young, good looking, and ready to face the world. ............. I miss those days ............
In my case it was San Francisco.
Yes 69 now but can relate to what you are saying .from Yorkshire .England.
I remember clubbing until the club closed and then hanging out by the beach until the sun came up. I was living in Hawaii at the the time. What I wouldn't give to relive those days.
53, and absolutley understand, crying too
48. I think it was a better time for all of us. Today's world absolutely sucks.
I was 9 when this song came out in 1982. I heard it in the grocery store today, and it certainly took me right back to the early ‘80s again. Life was so, so simple back then. I didn’t know it, but my career in computers was about to begin with a Commodore 64 in the wings. Roller rinks, arcades, bowling, hanging with friends in real life for hours till dark…and amazing music like this. I hope kids reading this can enjoy some of that spirit through this song. It’s not easy, but put down the phone and just enjoy the sights and sounds of life and the world around you…time flies!!
You know, I got to go along with you. I too was 9 when this came out. It sure does bring back memories. Though mine was for the Atari computer and not the Commodore lol

I was 9 as well! Thanks for the memory lane trip with your comment. My older brother graduated to the commodore 64. I was still playing Qbert on my Atari and probably just retired my Merlin a few months prior. :)
🏆🏆 Best comment ever. Wow! I was 10, & lived every word of the life you describe. My dad was an engineer for texas instruments. He bought me a TI 99/4A microcomputer in 1983, the next year. I did learn some Basic, & by year 2000 was an expert with Windows 2000/ Windows NT. But my career was in heavy engine work & electronic fuel injection. Computers? Not so much 🎼💜
People ask if you're "still listening" insert year! OF COURSE WE ARE! WE Have taste. Great music is timeless x

It’s what is so great about music,the discovery of a track or group that really grabs you,even if it’s not what you are expected to like.Peace and love my to all the music lovers,it will always see us through ❤️🙏🏾👊🏾
Well said Neil. Check out his 1981 Jumping Jive record. I hope you like it if you never heard.
I was. A 3 year old little black kid when this song came out and the local Channel 12 iWYES) in New Orleans had a show called "Stepping Out" named after this song and this song was its theme music. That show was on in the 80s and 90s. It was a good show and every since I loved this song.I am 43 now and still love this song.

I miss these days. This song just reminds me of those good old days.
I will never forget the October Monday morning in '82 where it was the day of one of my friends' funeral. This song was on my clock radio as I was waking up and I was just so in tears. It was a friend who really touched my life and gave me the appreciation for humor. His legacy will always live on and every time I hear this song it brings me back to that day and the fact that life is truly short.
And your reunion in the future with your friend will be magnificent!! 💯

"We ....so tired of all the darkness in our lives..." 1982 was paradise compared to today
Yes! This song is just soooo awesome!
Amen.
1982 was part of the PEAK of modern civilization. Some would say 1976 till 2000 is the peak since that's POST-Vietnam but PRE-911. However, I would argue it's 1976 till 2014 since it's after Vietnam but a year before all the modern day political crap would begin. So I'm going with 1976 till 2014. However, I would argue that the 1980's is the BEST decade (the vast majority of things are near perfect, with few exceptions) and 1982 truly hits that sweet spot of paradise.

I know Joe Jackson was not thrilled about making a video for this song, but the result is so iconic. Very few have captured the vibe of the 1980s NYC high-life quite like this. Nostalgia to the nth degree

I lived in Manhattan through the eighties. Joe Jackson, XTC, The Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, etc were everywhere. The best of Eighties music.

First heard this song when it was released in 1982. I was 17 and everywhere this was on the radio. I simply fell in love with this song around the time I fell in love with a girl named Carol.
It's impossible to not completely love this song. Loved it as a kid, loved it as a teen, and I love it now. Timeless!

Joe Jackson and Level 42 are two of the best artists of the 80s, hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kinda feel sorry for people who didn’t get to experience the 80s in person. So much nostalgia and coming of age (for some of us). I spent the 80s from age 10 to 20, so pretty much carefree and enjoying my time. These songs put me back in that headspace.

Ps Joe Jackson came into the Marriott hotel I worked at in Golden, CO and asked to use our piano prior to his concert/what a fucking phenomenal moment🎶
I worked in a Soho bar in NYC in the early 2000's. All kinds of folk in the middle of it all. And musicians mixed with artists mixed with movie folk. A haven if equality, so to say. And everyone knew everyone's business, game or not. There was one customer that came in occasionally for lunch. Quite, unassuming and silently amiable. One of us. But the only one we never asked a name of..
Totally awesome wow

The melody of this song still sounds great 40+ years later!

There is something special about this song that is hard to describe. It's a feeling, a mood. Something between melancholy and happiness. Something that only this song is capable of.
La mélodie est d'enfer,il n'y a besoin de comprendre les paroles
This song alternates between a feeling of excitement and hopeful anticipation and a certain feeling of sadness and regret. It's as if the song is expressing a feeling of hope for the future tempered by a negativity of past events that could detail those plans. Story of my life right now.

Great song but no, the 80s was well on it's way and awash with fantastic tunes, this was lat 82/early 83 but it was typical of the great music about.

Oh ffs every fkn song is underrated.. The most overused word on KZhead.
Is.
Took my wife out in the town one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Played this song on our drive. Felt appropriate great song. Brought back the 80’s when I was a teenager. No way back then would I have envisioned todays world. What a crappy world we live in now.
Really so. Never thought it would become so creepy back then. If I had not God in my life, I would be desperate today. Have a good day!
Agree that this a crappy world compared to 80s standards but we have the magic of being able to instantly pull up our favorite songs and music videos on KZhead - at the snap of of the finger to take us back to simpler and better times. Let's not waste this life and make the most of it. It's the only life we'll ever have. Let's not squander it and embrace it! We don't get a do-over. I'm saying don't hold anything back while you're living. Go and get after it NOW! You won't get a second chance to realize your dreams.

"We are young but getting old before our time." Man, that really says it all. 1982 was some great hard times.
Very bad recession in the US. I was telling a friend how poor used to be different- although maybe coming back there. Poor Americans would often have duck tape holding their poc car together, they'd be wearing clothes the upper class hadn't worn in a decade, and would almost never be overweight, govt largess at the time wasn't enough for that.

Those eighties made me who i am now, they had a great impact on my life as a young adult and now at 60-year-old I still wonder why did everything went so fast once the fun in life began IT'S BITTER SWEET EMOTION when you look back at those days, and it still surprises me to witness how extreme things can change in one generation !!
That line basically sums up 2020. And 2021.

A lot of people saying this song takes them back to the Eighties. True enough, but it is so beautifully timeless that I can attach it to anything - past, present or future.
True.
A lot of us were rather young when we first heard this song.That is why it takes so many of us back to a simpler time, when we didn't have near the amount of BS to contend with like we do nowadays.

Raising a glass to you Joe! Creator of the 2 most seminal works in my teen years. "Steppin Out" and "Is She Really Going Out With Him". I can almost feel my hand on the boombox waiting for them to come on the radio so I could record them on a cassette.
Jackson spent a number of years living in New York City, which served as an inspiration for his 1982 song "Steppin' Out". In a 2018 interview, Jackson said "I don't like New York much these days. It's as if the city and I had a hot love affair and now we're just friends, but we still have to see each other to remain friends. Today I live in Berlin. The New York I knew in late '81 and '82 is gone."
