This is such a beautiful little song. So 80's, all dreamy and dripping with optomism. It makes me sad that the 80's version of me would be so very disappointed with the way things have turned out.
Problem is today the mainstream stuff is pretty abysmal. That said there are some gems out in indie land. If you like this check out VNV Nation - Empires is a brilliant album. Ok its not quite the same genre but very good modern electronica and there is plenty more out there just if you know where to look. I used to subscribe to sideline magazine and that had some great bands highlighted in there that you'd never hear of otherwise.
@GTtiOC I've found a few songs of course but they just don't do as much for me like the old stuff does there is just something better about those years of music making.. Out of an entire decade you shouldn't stop finding good music all that happens when I go 50s-90s it just never ends, nothing but beautiful sounds one after the other I don't even need to search.. People will turn away from something that mostly has crap just like a store
Ok, someone help? I remember as a kid in the 80's there was an advert on Tv for a Lager...think it was McEwans?? it was like a setting from Mad Max and they rolled a huge metal ball at the screens you were watching it on? (that typical 80's thing that had 50 tv's showing one picture) anyway, was this song the music from that ad?
@Gip68 No you're speaking from a spoiled time.. It was so much better to be a teen in the 80s even I know that being a teen in the 90s which was probobly a bit better than today kids are the worst they have ever been by fact.. People were A LOT nicer back in the 70s 80s
I was born in 1982, I love the 80's music it has so much of great volume to it, the music that they have out 2day it's not like it was years ago. The 80's was fun I wish it came back around again!!!
I'm a 26 year old man and I love 80's music it means nothing and makes me feel no different things exactly like the music from now. I was born in the 80's and wish i was born in the now
more than any other song ever, this makes me feel euphoric, like it's running straight through my blood. i've never heard a song that can make me want to close my eyes and just let it flow through the empty space like this one does, or remind me so much of clear blue running water
What a great version of this classic tune. Flock of seaguls where huge here in the 80s, must admit never heard of daft punk? I thought the spice girls rules the 90s in terms of popularity?
@missjacko1 true spice girls were populer but you should here daft punk thre techno songs are amazing and if you want you should listen to interstella 5555 by them as well.
I'm a 14 year old girl and love 80's music, it means something and makes you feel different things, unlike the music from now. I really wish I was a teen in the 80's instead of now.
@MyMissPolly I guess it's like when my parents used to tell me that the 80s isn't a patch on the 60s & I wished I was a kid in the 60s... although I do agree with your views on the 2010s... the world is slowly sleepwalking into the abyss
@andeegreen In that case its about "whats better than the other" which can ruin any music but music isn't a competition this isn't sports.. like "my time is better neh neh" But I just think all 50s-90s was real music no matter how boring it was those people had real individual talent they didn't all sounds too much alike... It was all better than any of todays crap, the 2000s is truely a shit decade(for people too).. I feel sorry for teens who only listen to new music
@weirdscience85 Couldn't agree more - about the music, but especially the people!!! The hoards of unruly wannabe gangsters out there getting away with ridiculous behaviour and showing little or no respect to anyone they come across are themselves too wrapped up in cotton wool. Send them to do work experience (as a teaboy even) in an active warzone! Send them penniless to one of the poorest countries and tell them to make their own way back! Oh, I feel a rant coming on, so I'll stop there.
@MyMissPolly Yes Miss Polly the music (well some of it) was better, it,s great that you like this stuff. I like some of todays music but it seems so artificial now.
I was born in 1968 so was a teen in the 80's.Great time for music.Unlike now which seems to be mainly cover versions of old songs or rappers rehashing old songs while talking bollocks over them.
@MyMissPolly You are a bright and sensitive young lady. I was 8 years old when this song came out. You are right, I wouldn't trade growing up in the 80's with any other decade! It was a time of wonder and new styles of music, and new technology was something so revolutionary and amazing!
@MyMissPolly I'm very happy to read this about 80's music. i'm 46 and I'm tryng to listen to, the few, good music from this period of emptyness. Love 80's music and I'm tryng to make my 2 daughters choose which music listen to. I've a lot of records and cd and dvd, and I like they can find their own opinion about the good and the bed music. By, Love and peace
back in '84 when i was a senior in high school, i used to go out in the back yard of our house and get super high and listen to this. i miss those days of feeling free and doing anything i wanted to do and getting away with it. my parents used to go bowling and won a gift of a bowling ball filled with jack daniels. i used to drink it all the time and replace it with dr pepper. ah the good ol days of being a deliquent
@bigdsears That sounds familiar I still do all of that at 26 years old with all my 80s music.. I don't see why you still don't... You must have bad children then.. it was probobly a lot better doing it in '84 tho
i have fond memories of the 80s but come on they werent that perfect. we had thatcher for a start! the miners strikes, 3,000,000 people on the dole, the toxteth and brixton riots, the troubles/ira. it wasnt all great believe me! having said that, i`d go back in a shot, if only to wear the blue eyeliner and mascara again and a rah rah skirt lol!!!
oh and the current flock of seagulls are`nt even a flock. how can you have a flock of seagulls without paul reynolds????
In the eightie's they were producing music for live....now the produce something you can listen too for a short term of time and after that noone remebers them anymore.
Saw this band on Guam back in 84 in a club. I think the gig was added, becuase they where on there way to Australia and stopped in Guam for some reason. And no one scheduled Guam on their tour who where playing arenas. The place was packed beyond capacity so I had to order enough LI ice teas for the whole concert all at the same time. Even though most of us military types where into hard rock. We where grateful someone took the time to play at are little outpost in the ocean.
Ah the 80's....bring them back. Those were the days when the phrase "sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me" existed. Now everyone is a cry-baby victim of easily hurt feelings. When did people become so pathetically lame?
@ladybab, of course, but you know what suprises me ? That I'm bored listening to today's music after a couple of weeks but I always like to go back to listen to the music from the 1960's or 70's
@chessinfantry, I know there is but today's music gets me bored after a few days of listening. Music from the 60 or 70's- never. It never gets me bored.
Hey, dweebs, stop moaning about how music has got worse and how the '80s were so bad. They're both equally good/bad, you're just kidding yourselves or not making the effort to find the good stuff.
@tpmableful fair comment. but if you not like this music.. then fuck off and not listen!!!! let us who do like it .. enjoy it for what it is.... good music..
@SuperRawwrrr We have a lot of great music today! Better than the 2000s, anyway. Justin Bieber type stuff is awful, though, but that's only popular in the States and with YOUNG kids. Like, some great music in the way of The script, Tinie Tempah, Deadmau5. Ehm, '80s were AMAZING though. I wasn't even alive then, yet still addicted to Gary Numen and DePeche Mode....
They got their name from a stranglers song called toiler on the sea.They nearly backed Hugh Cornwell on American solo tour but could not get visa on time.
@aedificamus - I agree with you about the best music ever in the 80s (I was born in the 80s). However I feel music started to die around 1995 then come 2000-2001 it was truly dead and buried.
@SuperRawwrrr also look up after the fire-der kommisar, thomas dolby-blinded me with science, psychedelic furs-love my way, the smiths-how soon is now, new order-blue monday; true faith and your silent face. if you love the 80's like i think you do, then no more gaga or beiber, i am handing you on a platter just a smidge of the best. give me your email address and i will share with you what my era was like. in high school we were 'NEW WAVE', rolled up pants, makeup, colored hair,
@SuperRawwrrr Just by that comment I am willing to send you via send space the best of the 80's as I have all of it and you need to catch up on what so exciting, what a time it was..... all fresh and new sound especially in 1982 onward. check these out: Ultravox-reap the wild wind, tears for fears-pale shelter, talk talk-living in another world and also its my life, roxy music-take a chance on me; more thsn this; same old scene, then Bryan ferry-dont stop the dance, thompson twins-doctor doctor
Now we are talking, MUSIC, I so miss the 80's, and that was my time. As like you all stated I would love to go back as well. The music of today s just not music. It's just my thought on this. Lets all enjoy the song. discophyllis@gmail.com
Women were better in the Eighties! They made for better photographs - now toothpicks, manly women, and carpenter's dreams seemingly get hailed as attractive??? But beyond the looks I feel women of today are so full of lies. Could it be the piss poor music of today that has brought this about? Could it be that mankind took a wrong turn and didn't carry on what the Eighties brought? The Eighties was all about authentic originality - nowadays many live on some abstruse calling. I live Eighties!!!
Brings back memories..... 80's music is forever with me. My iPod is purely 80's music only. All of them are remixes and 12" versions. They are the "hard to find" versions,,,.... the "For DJ's use only". Go 80's.......
Anyone who wishes they were a teen in the 80s think again! No jobs out there, minimum wage was about $3.50- 4, no computers in our homes- & all the things that go with that... like youtube-, no cell phones, we went into the gas station to pay for gas, parents insurance paid to put the kids in "rehab'" etc. etc. etc. I was a teen in the 80s & I can attest, as anyone else who was there, that the 80s were a great time for music-- & thats IT!!! Thanks for the post! Good music~~~
@nsideimscreaming there are no jobs now either, and it doesn't matter that minimum wage was $3.50 then because there is inflation now so things were a lot cheaper back then
@nsideimscreaming No jobs out there NOW!!!!. True that we have more technology today, but if you never had the technology, you dont miss it. Perhaps there is some technological improvement that will be discovered in 2025, that we will think we could never do without, but we are doing without it today. BTW there were cell phones in the 1980s, but they were the size of a brick and cost 50 cents per call
I have to disagree my friend. The 80's were superior in every way that I can think of. I was a teen then and teens in general where happier because they actually held conversations with each other. No need to text because we actually physically talked!
Didn't need the internet because we played outside and got fresh air and sunshine! Remember those things?
@yesh3 ---bullshit, yesh. My family didn't have shit, but the music of the 80s kept me alive and semi-sane. And Top 40 played everything then...Hall & Oates, Blondie, MJ, Madonna, Bon Jovi, The Cars, Prince, GnR, Def Leppard, the list goes on. Its the 2000s that suck, bro. You need money today to keep your McMansion heated and your SUV. Also no Amber alerts, no terror threat levels, no Sex Offender Lists, no Octomoms, no Lilos, no Farcebook, no texting, no political correctness. Fuck the 2000s.
not just great music but great time...born in 1965 and i think i have lived through the best music decades...until now that is!!

Yip, the beat on this is a complete plot, like alot of recent music and ... most popular music. 4/4 time.
I guess the thing about early '80s music is that lots of odd stuff became popular. Today it has to be pre-pack.
Internet should promote more variety, except experiments by record producers have been destroyed by free download.

@hungryherbie, 60's, 70's and 80's were the best times for music. In the 1990's something began to break down.

Hey, dweebs, stop moaning about how music has got worse and how the '80s were so bad. They're both equally good/bad, you're just kidding yourselves or not making the effort to find the good stuff.

@SuperRawwrrr We have a lot of great music today! Better than the 2000s, anyway. Justin Bieber type stuff is awful, though, but that's only popular in the States and with YOUNG kids. Like, some great music in the way of The script, Tinie Tempah, Deadmau5. Ehm, '80s were AMAZING though. I wasn't even alive then, yet still addicted to Gary Numen and DePeche Mode....

@aedificamus - I agree with you about the best music ever in the 80s (I was born in the 80s). However I feel music started to die around 1995 then come 2000-2001 it was truly dead and buried.

@SuperRawwrrr Just by that comment I am willing to send you via send space the best of the 80's as I have all of it and you need to catch up on what so exciting, what a time it was..... all fresh and new sound especially in 1982 onward. check these out: Ultravox-reap the wild wind, tears for fears-pale shelter, talk talk-living in another world and also its my life, roxy music-take a chance on me; more thsn this; same old scene, then Bryan ferry-dont stop the dance, thompson twins-doctor doctor

Now we are talking, MUSIC, I so miss the 80's, and that was my time. As like you all stated I would love to go back as well. The music of today s just not music. It's just my thought on this. Lets all enjoy the song. discophyllis@gmail.com

Women were better in the Eighties! They made for better photographs - now toothpicks, manly women, and carpenter's dreams seemingly get hailed as attractive??? But beyond the looks I feel women of today are so full of lies. Could it be the piss poor music of today that has brought this about? Could it be that mankind took a wrong turn and didn't carry on what the Eighties brought? The Eighties was all about authentic originality - nowadays many live on some abstruse calling. I live Eighties!!!

Brings back memories..... 80's music is forever with me. My iPod is purely 80's music only. All of them are remixes and 12" versions. They are the "hard to find" versions,,,.... the "For DJ's use only". Go 80's.......

Anyone who wishes they were a teen in the 80s think again! No jobs out there, minimum wage was about $3.50- 4, no computers in our homes- & all the things that go with that... like youtube-, no cell phones, we went into the gas station to pay for gas, parents insurance paid to put the kids in "rehab'" etc. etc. etc. I was a teen in the 80s & I can attest, as anyone else who was there, that the 80s were a great time for music-- & thats IT!!! Thanks for the post! Good music~~~
nsideimscreaming 1 year ago 4
@nsideimscreaming there are no jobs now either, and it doesn't matter that minimum wage was $3.50 then because there is inflation now so things were a lot cheaper back then
starsweet4 1 year ago
@nsideimscreaming No jobs out there NOW!!!!. True that we have more technology today, but if you never had the technology, you dont miss it. Perhaps there is some technological improvement that will be discovered in 2025, that we will think we could never do without, but we are doing without it today. BTW there were cell phones in the 1980s, but they were the size of a brick and cost 50 cents per call

I have to disagree my friend. The 80's were superior in every way that I can think of. I was a teen then and teens in general where happier because they actually held conversations with each other. No need to text because we actually physically talked!
Didn't need the internet because we played outside and got fresh air and sunshine! Remember those things?
Give me the 80's and I'm happy.

@yesh3 ---bullshit, yesh. My family didn't have shit, but the music of the 80s kept me alive and semi-sane. And Top 40 played everything then...Hall & Oates, Blondie, MJ, Madonna, Bon Jovi, The Cars, Prince, GnR, Def Leppard, the list goes on. Its the 2000s that suck, bro. You need money today to keep your McMansion heated and your SUV. Also no Amber alerts, no terror threat levels, no Sex Offender Lists, no Octomoms, no Lilos, no Farcebook, no texting, no political correctness. Fuck the 2000s.
