As a Canadian who grew up in the 1980s listening to the music of that decade, naturally the first time I heard the song "Not in Love" was in its original form, as a 1983 single by Platinum Blonde. It was not a bad song and Platinum Blonde was not a bad group, but there was nothing outstanding to it. It was just another song about angst and failed love by a perhaps excessively Anglophile and angst-ridden New Wave pop group, an artifact of one of the first waves of CanCon pop music.
Then, in 2010, Toronto's Crystal Castles decided to cover the song, and released a version featuring the guest vocals of The Cure's Robert Smith.
Thus was exposed this song's good bones to the entire world.
