[wozajericho]

Mark will be performing this song and other classic on June 10th 2011 at The Mercer restaurant London, for more details email warren@themercer.co.uk

[sunray1100]

This band were amazing. They should have been much bigger than they were. Mark Shaw was a poet with his lyrics. Great memories of the '80s through songs like this. Never knew there was even a video for this song. Went abroad for 3 years in 1989 after leaving school and didn't realise. This has to be my favourite ever song of Then Jerico. Supurb talent. Nothing matches it.

[Tottibytes]

People are far too quick to bag the 80's, mainly due to the loud colours and big hair with leg warmers... it's all too easy to forget that there was some extraordinarily good music around, I don't think this song would be that out of place even today.

[tcd23564]

Looks like he's giving the finger at the end

[marinac00]

@tcd23564 Mark Shaw could give me the finger any day of the week......

[jlebowskii]

Me too, I'm often stopped and told i am Mark Shaw then I have to tell them the truth....I am!

[StefanOlfen]

We had the best music ever in the 80's. Thanx to all the bands and artists for this great century of music...

[06carpers]

does anybody know where i can learn this for the guitar

[Gary280276]

All time classic why do they not make good Music that sounds as good now as it did then, what went wrong lol it's on me IPOD, MP3 never gets left behind, wish I was back in skool miss the whole lot these songs help to keep hold of the best times that we some times forget

[Donuts62]

Wow, this brings back some memories!

[speedyshell]

What a gorgeous song, I love Than Jericho.

[speedyshell]

Gorgeous and not just the song......

[marcokango]

This song holds a lot of memories for me just gets better every time i listen to it.very touching tune.I wish i had a time machine i would go straight back to the eighties and put it on hold.

[rainbowwitch666]

still a beautiful tune

[TheSteviemoore]

great voice, great band, great memories, great times, just bloody GREAT.

[arlecay]

Ha.... all time fav 80s rock ballad! Gotta love youtube :)

[mandtube1]

beautiful song, the lyrics r sooo meaningful 2 anyone thats ever loved/been in love, wanted 2 marry mark shaw in the 80's x

[truemansparks]

[wozajericho]

Mark will be singing this song live in London next month, and its still sounds as good now. The gig will be held at The Mercer restaurant threadneedle street. for more details warren@themercer.co.uk

[DIQSSS]

MARAVILHOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....­..........SEMPRE ACTUAL

[theBESTelvis]

[keithgy0]

God i feel old as i remember buying the album.

[bobafett90210]

I forgot about this song - I think I used it on countless mixtapes to my High School girlfriend...

[GeorgiaGaaraPanda]

fantastic track and a gorgeous bloke to boot!!

[jesubono]

Great Mullet xD

[sarahkins1]

still the most gorgeous man ever

[miniotis43]

after all these years this song still makes me cry, classic

[miniotis43]

wow.....

[Rainbowwitch66]

80's songs rule

[vicentelputoamo]

TEMAZO DEL REMEMBER DE LOS 80'.

[lins74]

Absolutely fab! I love it. Bring back the 80s. XX

[SusanBluechild]

Love this song, highly underrated band, shame they didn't have more success, loved his voice.

[claihui]

Definitely underrated....they have many great songs and still remember em after 20 yrs...

[Kaptin88]

What a great track, one of their best. I can listen to this song repeatedly, and never get bored. Brings back a lot of 80s memories for me....I agree, Sugar Box should have made it onto a film soundtrack... Thanks TJ for making my day!!

[jobynane]

i can't get tired listening to this song over and over again. a lovely song.

[drummerkevmusic]

SUPERB, SUPERB, SUPERB,,

[Colg1234]

This track should have made it in America for Then Jerico. Rather than blame Mark for their failure to make it, the blame should be with their management. This could have made a great track for a film soundtrack then I think it would have made number 1.

[SaffronSugar]

Mark was blamed? That sucks. I met him after playing a solo gig in Covent Garden in '93 (or was it 94) and he was very lovely and cool. He sang very well and better than with Then Jerico, I thought

[Tricksterize]

AMAZING song.....has anybody heard Mark's solo album after Then Jerico split up? Was it in the vein of Then Jerico?

[netdolman]

OH, remember loving this song years back! Saw them live - back in the day!

[luvzgb]

How can anyone be THIS good looking???!!?

[06carpers]

@luvzgb i'm the doulble of mark and my name is mark to!!

[luvzgb]

@06carpers Hmmmm.... I guess I'll have to take your word for it :)

[wendyxmarie]

Wasn't he beautiful? Gosh!...no wonder he was my hunk of the 80s (along with Peter Cox).

[MrsDistoney]

I loved Then Jericho when they first came out. Their album was awesome but I only had it on cassette when it all got tangled up. I must see if I can get it on CD.

[TheAuntyT]

me too, first....the sound of music, i had on cassette and played it sooo much it broke and cant get it on cd anywhere :-(

[hertha1997]

the album is called 'Big Area', ASIN: B00004RKIQ, try some online shops

[divinereef]

oh my god ,,, i am a teenager again ,, wonder would he play any gigs in dub ,,,

[snapshotsid]

I've ben saying this was a great song since 1989!!!!!!!!

[fonzemccool]

awesome voice, awesome song

[wozajericho]

He's playing this live in a few weeks in London fri 25th sept at the mercer restaurant for those near by..

[NottinghamEngland]

arrrrgh I read your message 1 day too late. I would have traveled to see him too. I don't suppose you know any other gigs he's playing? Thanks

[wozajericho]

there is another gig planned for fri 27th nov at the mercer restaurant in London

[NottinghamEngland]

Thanks for letting me know! I'll try and be there :)

[wozajericho]

What a cracker and the b-side "the happening" is just as good...

[Mrunknownartist1]

Great posting. Got 12" vinyl, i'll have to dig it out.

[moakleydakota]

whats a suga box?

[IanSRut]

Man, this a great song. Thanks for posting it.

[driscoll126]

[1pingfasily]

sofiomccade

Thanks for the update ,lol !

[marcokango]

A very lovely song this song was mIne and the missus song when we got together.Good memories .

[1pingfasily]

Bought this on 45rpm when it came out, ....written by Paul McCartney i believe!  Love it!

[316calum]

nope was not written by paul mcCartney was written by shaw/downes/taylor/stainthorpe­/wren

[undomiel100]

Can't believe after all these years this video is out there! It brings back some memories! Mark was always a ride!

[MrHandsomeDan]

I would get naked to this song

[LReiCarlo]

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!!! Where did these days go so fast...

[wozajericho]

Heard this live on friday and it still makes the hairs stand up..

[snapshotsid]

I want all the guitars!

[marinac00]

First...The Sound of Music and The Big Area were f**king great albums. This song and The Motive are fab and I agree soooo much with the posting about Darkest Hour...brilliant.

Any chance anyone could hook me up with a date with Mark Shaw...I'd still shag him now...

[theBESTelvis]

DIRTY SLAG marinac00  lol

[grundy32]

This along with The Motive and Big area are my all time fav songs by Then Jerico...shame marks ego ruined wot could have been one of the best bands of the 80's.But we still love him wot was not to be bigheaded about lol......top band

[snapshotsid]

Fucking great song! More comments please.

[sadbaby01]

anyone know the chords for this? google aint helping me!

[langduran]

cant believe i have found this song after all this time !!

my ALL time fave song from 80s...

thanks for video..

[fmobfmob]

The cd's First and Big Area are still one of my favourite album of the 80's. Personally the song Darkest Hour is sooooo beautiful. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[wozajericho]

it's a timeless classic !!! The b-side was called The happening and was also great.. love it!!!!

[tcjaat]

had this album on cassette about 15 + yrs ago cant find it on limewire, but it was great then....what happened to them...did they start "aha"?

[driscoll126]

whats a cassette????

[maria2506821]

i absolutely love this song .......dont you want me back now!!!!!

[snapshotsid]

Yes I do maria, if you were jacque and I was whoever! Anyhow the fact you love this song is good enough! And jacque's history. You're not a bloke in drag are you - this is a weird place!

[Larsoti]

Please don't be confused...

Today is 2009 and that was '90...

It is a success that we are talking about this song 20 y. later...

[mikekaraoke]

no it was 89 its a 80s song not 90s

[snapshotsid]

Never mind theBESTelvis man, Tommy Reilly won the Orange Unsigned Act. Here's a youngster who everyone thinks is the new Tom Waits but he sounds like a fly sliding down a razor blade using his balls for brakes. So, we're in for another few years of utter shite on the new "2009" music scene as shown by Lily (aren't I fat and untalented) Allen on that very show with her new single - THE CRAP!

[SnakeMcPlisken]

Best description of that shite I've heard yet. I cringe anytime he goes:

"ah want you tae gimme a phone.

You've got a phone

How dae you no turn it oan"

ARG!

[snapshotsid]

Jesus, it is 20 years ago! Music's so much better now of course. We have a Take That reunion, cowell, walsh and cry me a river cole. We have Lloyd Webber. We have The Arctict Monkeys (remember them?) Razorlite (remember them?) Orange unsigned act (Remember that?) Lily Allen, daughter of Keith "Vindaloo" Allen and err, err ........

[theBESTelvis]

ye...its mostly a load of wank now,

then jerico where brilliant...should have stayed together, i reckon they'd have been as big as U2.

THIS TUNE IS AWESOME, 5 EASY.....

[curvalecce]

Second best ever Jerico song (after 'Muscle Deep'), which is saying quite a lot.

It's a real shame about the video, because they could have done something really beautiful with a song like this...

[doodah80s]

Even if some think the video is a bit cheesy...Mark can totally pull of cheesy!! He can dance around in a tutu with pink ribbons in his hair and still look horny as hell to women!! (sorry guys) (not a scene I ever wish to see however!)remember this is 20 years ago! Mark has a great voice, no-one can take that away from him, his fans adore him...love you always sweety.xx

[snapshotsid]

It's all about a girl who I love very much. Trouble is, it's way gone. But I still love her very much.

[snapshotsid]

Looks like death in a way. Th scarlet red and he's a good lookin bloke in a sort of being tied to a post and shot by archers way. The song is just fantastic.

[snapshotsid]

Video's not bad!

[DavidGYoung]

Great song.

Terrible video.

I mean, a dove! Cliché, cliché, cliché.

[CaffeineKing]

One of my favourite songs over the years - thanks for posting (nice to see the video).

[snapshotsid]

It's only a song or a band Best elvis - leave it at a few sarky comments man!

[snapshotsid]

Hang on, it was the Joshua Tree wasn't it? Or maybe the cedar tree, or even the tree in my back garden. Anyhow Bono's a c***t and his band suck these days.

[theBESTelvis]

lol. YES...Bono is a TIT !!!

[snapshotsid]

Actually, the dick is TWO TITS! One for each of his massive egos. So, in fact, he's a double Egotit. Which must be a first in the history of rock 'n' roll.

[theBESTelvis]

lol lol

[snapshotsid]

Is that the best you can do? Juvenile text speak? Am listening to the song again cause at least that has something to say. Are you a man or a woman by the way - or somewhere inbetween! Thank you very muchhhhh...

[snapshotsid]

Absolutely brilliant.

[NeilThompson30]

Great band. Second album has some great songs. Shaw was a great frontman.

[theBESTelvis]

one of my alltime faves songs,

they should have been as big as U2 these guys.

shame mark shaw blew it all coz hes a fookin knob.

there 1st 2 albums were brilliant and so was shaws solo album. what a great shame there gone

[snapshotsid]

Bigger than U2! Mark Shaw was a knob, but he's not as bigger knob as that bozo Bono - the self-proclaimed saviour of the world.

[theBESTelvis]

true...bono is a tool.  but hes also a great singer and frontman to an awesome band.

[snapshotsid]

You mean Bono is a fool I presume. - or a tool for the Lord perhaps? They may have been awesome around The Jericho Tree but they're crap now.

[conolo55]

brilliant song! is that andriy voronin playing the keyboard/piano?

[tafftich]

gutted when they split,just got into them with the awesome big area album-what could of been eh for a band with awesome talent!! gutted i never got to see them in concert!!

[Dannybhoy1969]
