I haven't heard it on the radio since it was a hit, and I haven't seen "Footloose" since the '80s, but "I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man)" by Kenny Loggins is on my mind this morning. I haven't thought of that song in decades, but it's one of Loggins's somewhat underrated hits. Right from the intro, "I'm Free" conveys urgency and longing convincingly, builds to its chorus well, and has a respectable hook. Its dramatic structure is rooted firmly in 1984, and that's to its credit.
