The 1980s was a time of great music and new things and nothing was more great or new than ABC and their amazing album ‘The Lexicon of Love’.
The ‘Lexicon of Love’ is a truly magnificent album with some truly great songs on it. Including ‘Poison Arrow’ and ‘The Look of Love’, ‘Valentine’s Day’ and ‘4 ever 2 Together’ and this one ‘All Of My Heart’ it is a masterpiece. During 1982 when I was discovering music and getting to decide what I liked and what I didn’t this album came along and I fell in love with the drama of ABC from their big production numbers, Martin Fry’s fantastic vocal range and their amazing outfits!
The music of ABC was playing in the background of many of the parties and places I visited at that time and it was one of the first albums I bought on CD when we threw away our records and moved to the clarity and more dramatic sound of that medium.
This has to be my all time favourite ABC song and one that I still listen to today whenever I need to be reminded of the 1980s and the fabulous time I had. The idea of walking into the room with a broken heart like a souvenir is a brilliant one and one that always makes me smile…
Enjoy the song….
