ABC - Be Near Me

[crazyschoolboyDan]

Great Song !!! This song stands the test of time. Great video too!

[maudiska]

I forgot how great 80's hair was as was the music!

[kinga750]

To all the haters: The day you have the balls to rock one of these dude's haircuts is the day you can insult them.

[grumpyburnside]

Really great pop song, but the video takes everything that was awful about the '80's and puts it all together with a horrible result, in my opinion.

[darkgardenia]

@grumpyburnside ...I agree...Wonderful song, yet cheesy video...I heard Martin Fry purposely made the video silly to get back at the record company...The hot blonde chick and the bald guy were not musicians, but hired hands to give the video a silly affect...Just a rumor I heard...

[fussnot]

David yarritu(sp) and Eden were musicians. I thinik they only appeared on this one album though.

[ronin147800]

Martin Fry. What can you say..Awesome voice and great personailty. He sounds as good today as he did 30 years ago. What better compliment can I give the man than that.

[ihaveart]

Ok, we have the guy from the 6 flags ads, Matthew Brodrick, and Duran Duran.

[atrios28]

this video influenced a generation of directors and it's influence is still being felt, i should think near Neptune...

[sbolevent]

David Yarritu is pretty cool.

[jarlexel]

takes me back to 1985 where i was in

love for the first time and with 12 year old but i was 14

[jakeryan37]

just this one 80s song is better than anything out there today.80 vs todays shit lol 80s win

[savvybruce]

Kids would laugh today at this stuff. But for me, ABC defined the 80s. I still enjoy how much fun artists has at the time. It was all fun, weird, colorful, and experimental. Whether bands were gay or not, who cared? It was just fun music to listen to.

[fleischpudding]

yo man I care if bands be gay and dat shit, no man luvin while spittin mad rymes bro, rememba dat

[Kuahmel]

@savvybruce in this skinny jeans time we're in now, I doubt they would reject this.

[curlod]

hahaha

I think the fun of 80's music videos is the way that they made it very bizarre, love it

[MartianCause]

This song was awesome and the video the most bizarre ever!

80's madness and coolness rolled into one!

A "you had to be there" time, most definitely ;)

[thomasdr28]

HEY! It's Mr. Six from Six Flags before he got hooked on speed! :)

[kiyaputa]

1983 and 1984 seemed to produce these perfect songs like this. this song is different'

[LFTU2]

That song always takes me away

[kiyaputa]

avoid the look .. melody tricky here..captures 80's constant....

[80sJukeBox1]

Eeeeee gawd!!!! I meant, I've been a fan ever since!!!

[80sJukeBox1]

This was the first song I ever heard by ABC....I was a fan ever since! Great stuff ;-)

[endgammer]

The button on her hat @.21 reads

"punks are cool"

[riderm32]

Classic! Great tune! Feel good music! Hands-down, the 80's were the best. Sadly, music like this is gone forever!

ABC's best song in my opinion. Love it!

[leobaeza]

Bueno nada que decir..solo I love this song..because yo le cantaba a mi girlfriend me near ...que se parecia a mi niña

grande nunca olvidare esos momentos ni esta cancion..(i never forget this song and theses times)

[marthadaviss]

GREAT BAND GREAT SONG.

[PungiFungi]

Another reason why CD sales are down...not because of downloads and piracy...but because they don't make music like this anymore. Can anybody here name the current number 1 hit on the Billboard? I couldn't. Music nowadays is CRAP.

[ronago]

well said.

[LFTU2]

I really love your comment very well said I know every generation has different taste but music today has dropped the bar

[m4lover]

classic yeah!

[missteek08]

omg! love this song!

[rainsan]

WOw, can't believe this is one here. I love it!

[RioMan123]

This is the only song/vid of this type I ever had a special affinity for. It was so care free and sincere. I was in my twenties when it came out, and it brings back so many wonderful (and sometimes terrible) memories. Thank you for posting this.

[rickman125]

Man, I thought now one could out do Pantera for hardcore video performance, I guess I was wrong. One dark video, and depressing song. Just kidding. Love the song.

[robfergusonjr]

Ah yes ... Fall 1985 ... a unique time in 20th century music ... many 1980s songs are magical.

[j7609]

This song brings back bittersweet memories. The song itself is very sweet, I remember how surprised I was when I bought the 45 of this song, and the 'naughty' part the girl says on the B-Side, but hey, I was also around 14 years old, so it seemed shocking then. Anyway, wonderful upload - beautiful song and awesome video!

[agentrincon24]

Beautiful tune !

[hakalaha]

I love this song Thank You so much for putting it on here!
