✨This piece is still really good!
I kept watching this clip over and over, and I was surprised by the warm feeling that rose up inside me. It wasn’t because the melody was exceptionally outstanding or the technique was top-tier, but because of the authenticity of the moment. These people who created a massive hit in 1986 are now, many years later, still standing on stage with the same joy as back then. They’re not trying to look young, not forcing anything. They’re simply enjoying their own song.
What made me linger the longest was Valerie’s smile. It’s not a performance smile—it’s the smile of someone who knows she’s reliving a beautiful part of her memories. The song that once played on the radio almost every hour, that once made an entire generation dance, is now being performed again in an intimate space. I can clearly feel the continuity between past and present. Time has passed, but the joy remains intact.
Looking deeper, this video shows the power of things that seem old. Many people like it because it brings back memories of youth, but for me, it’s more than that. It reminds us that true joy doesn’t depend on the peak of a career. When they’ve stood at the top and then returned to a smaller stage, they still keep the fire. That’s rare and precious.
The lesson I take away is quite simple yet profound: hold on to the things that make you happy, even as time changes everything around you. Don’t let success or failure redefine your original joy. Nu Shooz aren’t trying to prove anything. They just sing and smile. And it’s precisely that simplicity that touches the most people.
Life will have its brilliant phases and its quieter ones. What matters is that when we look back, we can still smile at ourselves the way they are doing on that stage.

Until last week, men over 50 were entitled to a free PSA prostate cancer check. But the government has now decided to withdraw that right. I cannot for the life of me work out what their reasoning might be.
