[1980-1984 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1982, #67
This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.
As much as the boy loves the girl, hard as he tries, they can never be together. Bridging these huge cultural differences is beyond the abilities of a young romantic, despite what he wants to believe.
The doomed couple are just no match for her strict Persian upbringing, and the tensions between their two countries.
The Shah dying, the hostage crisis, the Islamic Revolution... some things can't be overcome by love alone.
Iran is, truly, so far away.
