@a_man_of_music3: "True" is a song by English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released in April 1983 as the title track and third single from their third studio album. It was written by the band's lead guitarist and principal songwriter Gary Kemp to express his feelings for Altered Images lead singer Clare Grogan. Kemp was influenced musically by songs of Marvin Gaye and Al Green he was listening to at the time, and lyrically by Green and the Beatles. "True" reached number one on the UK singles chart in April 1983 and made the top 10 in several other countries, including the US, where it became their first song to reach the Billboard Hot 100. In 1981, Spandau Ballet guitarist/songwriter Gary Kemp met Altered Images lead singer Clare Grogan and felt an "instant connection" in part due to their conversations about writers. For his birthday that year, she gave him a copy of the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, whom they had discussed. He intended the relationship to be platonic since he already had a girlfriend, but he was also competing for her attention with two other men: actor John Gordon Sinclair, who starred with her in Gregory's Girl, and artist David Band, who had designed cover art for Altered Images; he would later do so for Spandau Ballet with the single "Communication". #spandauballet #true #1983 #fyp #fypシ゚ #fypシ゚viral #music #musica #musique #musik #музыка #glazba #musiclover #musicvideo #trending #trendingsound #followback #teamwork #under100k #roadto100k

My mom met him and she was wearing a pin that her highschool bf made in shop class. It was a little brass bird like the one Spandau Ballet used on their album. He really liked it and asked about it so my mom took it off and gave it to him right in front of her bf 😂
