Giorgio Moroder & Limahl - Never Ending Story (Never Ending Story soundtrack) (1984)

It's never a bad time to hear this song. Fresh off the success of his band Kajagoogoo's "To Shy" somehow Limahl managed to write the most uplifting song the world has ever heard, and wouldn't you know it, synth bass!

Never Ending Story was just one of those movies that every kid rented multiple times. How many mystical set pieces and amazing characters did they manage to cram in this one movie, and one one budget. It's hard to believe that at one point in time, a large budget movie would also commission this song to be played in it's most triumphant moments. But that is all part of the joy in reminiscing over the 80s. it literally was a different era, with vastly different sensibilities. When you look back now, far removed from all pretentiousness, and long after the sales have dried up, you still have this nugget of distilled truth from a time long forgotten.

It's all in the music.
