More childhood memories here, albeit somewhat less cool ones. The tape of Running In The Family was often on in the car, and I remember the song for that more than its actual chart appearance, although looking it up now I see it was Level 42's last Top 10 single, though they continued to have hits well into the 1990s.
Doubtless to the annoyance of fans of their earlier jazz-funk material, 'It's Over' finds the group at their most smoothly commercial, a ballad with the obligatory video filmed in a canyon. Obviously, deep emotional impact isn't on the agenda, although it's just about possible that they're aiming for an unemotive effect: that would at least make sense in terms of the lyrical content. I'd struggle to call this more than inoffensive, but it's well put together.
