Hottest 100 - Number 60

Sneaky Sound System was guest programming Rage this morning. I'm not a huge fan of their music, but bloody hell they had chosen a cracking set, with a whole swag of brilliant tunes from the 80s. They played the Psychedelic Furs' Love My Way and it stopped me in my tracks. I had forgotten what a heartbreakingly beautiful song this is. I found this acoustic version they've done recently. Listen to his voice. That man's done some living.
