This Is Mine

"This Is Mine" is a song by the British new wave and synth-pop band Heaven 17, released on 15 October 1984 as the second single from their third studio album, How Men Are (1984).

It would be the band's last Top 30 single until 1992's "Temptation (Brothers In Rhythm Remix)"[2] The accompanying music video for the track featured Gregory, Ware and Marsh plotting and robbing a bank.

On its release, DJ Mark Hollis, writing for the Daily Mirror, praised "This Is Mine" as the band's "best single so far" and noted the "brass sound is tremendous".

[3] Frank Edmonds of the Bury Free Press gave it a 9 out of 10 rating and wrote, "This is an excellent piece of catchy pop.

"[4] Paul Benbow of the Reading Evening Post described it as "brassy but a bit slow", and considered it a return to the sound of the band's 1981 debut album Penthouse and Pavement.
