This song just sends shivers through the spine! I find it one of their most under-rated hits, definitely the best one I ever heard, like Thin Red Line and Some Day right after on their top 3 of all-time.
you guys are totally right about how bad the music is these days. music was definately better and much more positive back in the 80's. this song is awesome!! when you go camping or cottaging in northern ontario, canada, this is all you hear........good friggin music
I can't remember if this song was somewhat related to the movie Yougn Guns? The setting of the video sure does make it look that way. Anyway, great memories... I was 17 and full of hopes.
Reminds of the good days I spent in Toronto from 1981 to 1994 as a student. Live in Singapore now. Loved canadian music then and still do. By the way, the tall guy in the hat walking around was my room mate..he went to U of T and I went to York. Now this guy is a huge musician in Nepal. Just search for Robin Tamang to find music videos featuring him and his songs. He is not native indian :)
first concert I ever saw was this tour @the Halifax Metro Center ...one of my favorite childhood memories....even had a tour shirt....hahha....I hope I see them again some day....
Agreed about the positive tone of the 80's, so different than now. Hope we are out of this slump in a few years. It probably will take a bit of time, because with music being so horribly crappy these days, I think people have actually stopped listening to the music only looking at the tits, abs or butt. I am serious about this, the difference between then and now music is like day and night. God, I love this song!! (In my heart, I believe, someday the sun will shine, you shall be free!)
Wow, what a band, and what a song...sure takes me back. I agree with moon and trav (two posters on the top) -- music from the 80's just had a message and evokes memories in a way that no music from today can do.
Wow -- this song still gives me chills (even all these years later). Definitely one of their best. No, sorry...it IS their best song EVER. Amazing song...thanks for the memories...
Ever notice the perhaps "accidental" prolife lyric in this song? I never noticed it before. "Oh, Love gives Life, and Life is Love" - almost Catholic like as a succinct phrase summing up Catholic teaching on sexuality (pro-creative & pro-unitive- Love linked to Life) & the Ideal Life. Amazing - if just a coincedence.
Definitely a coincedence. This song and video is about native american/first nations people and their struggle with the take over of their lands, and the lies the white people bestowed upon them. Not a sexual prolife meaning, certainly not catholic, but rather the struggle of a nation of people, to be strong and overcome the wrongs that they have endured.
This song sparked a boycott of local radio station three hours after it was aired because 'outraged parents were offended by this song.' Basically cleared up in my dad's laymen terms 'Women who had nothing better to do decided this song was offensive to their religious beliefs,picked up their bibles,donned their Quaker Sunday Best Clothes and Marched Protesting the line 'We are in bondage' claiming it meant we are in sexual bondage.'
This album "Diamond Sun" just didn't get the commercial success it deserved--maybe some tunes just "too deep" for the "radio gods?" Songs with meaning...and "I'm Still Searching" so passionately rocks--fully expected it to make a climb on the charts, but I've heard it play on the radio only once at the time...it just didn't get the success and exposure it deserved--thought it was one of the best albums from that year...often excellent music just doesn't get commercial success-this definitely one
@chelle9503 hey chelle, i lived in aurora when glass tiger played at aurora high. live in los angeles now. it's nice to see a comment from someone from my home town. thx for posting :-) just yesterday i was telling a friend about this video as we were driving back to la from yosemite nat'l park.
Wow...absolute classic. This is one of the first records that I was allowed to buy as a young boy; I looked forward to it for weeks, and Glass Tiger remained one of my most favourite bands throughout the 80's...thanks for the memories!
music seemed to positive in the 80s, everything now is about how bad of a thug you are, how much of a sl#t you are...pretty lame, im sure it will come back again, people will get tired of the garbage.

I've always love these guys although I haven't been to any of their concerts. They will have a free concert with gate admission at the PNE on the 23rd, if any of you guys are in driving distance to Vancouver, BC :).
I saw Glass Tiger on this tour for the 2nd time in June 1988 at The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. In November 1986, I saw them when they opened for Journey on the Raised on Radio tour in Hampton. They put on a good show both times. Did anybody else see these 2 tours. I like to hear from you if you did.
Great memories; Haven't heard GT in quite a while. I remember buying the cassettes for a friend of mine for his b-day and he ripped it open in two seconds. Yes, cassettes, it was back in the 80's so don't be poking fun! :p
very good video.. it explain well the meaning of the song. someone have the video of 'someday' please? i've been searching it as one of my best memory of 80
Actually I never reffered to anyone as Indian Even those from India. I say Native as it refers to the first of the land. O Canada! Our home and Native Land. The Early U.S. Settlers and Western Frontiersmen Reinforced The faux pas. Generally.
Um, sorry to correct you, but 4 out of the 5 original members (Sam, Michael, Al & Wayne) were born and bred in Canada. Only Alan is originally from Scotland.
How do I know? DUH, I have met them all back in the late 80's at a Junos party!
um ....they are not a Canadian Band ,they are all from Scotland.Just setting the facts straight. :O) Oh ps they did hit it big in Canada,but they are all scottish lads, ever hear any of there songs with the bagpipes playing! ok peace.
Do you consider the fact that as the years went by things were better merchandised advertised times had changed the messages were different people and fans in general were different as well the way people looked at music was different
Nevermind was so overlooked as to what it was and would be nothing without the styles predecessors
Record Sales?
oh Yeah Kurdt would have really consider that as victory in expression
this is not a plausible comparison or arguement really
This is 1988, right ? Amazing the impact The Joshua Tree (1987) had on music. This stripped down, back to basics, socially conscious Glass Tiger is so
"Joshua Tree" is overrated. Hindsight is 20/20, but at the time - 1987 - JT (and U2 in general) was totally overshadowed by, for example, INXS' "Kick".
As I said, hindsight is 20/20. But let's take 1987 and compare albums. INXS' "Kick" sold more copies, had a higher chart position, and had more hit singles.
Oh I agree 100%. It's a very important album in rock history. I was just saying that, back in 1987, it wasn't seen as the big huge deal it eventually became. It took time. It wasn't the instant cultural shock that "Nevermind" by Nirvana was.
Right. G'n'R and Nirvana produced instant change. The influence of Joshua Tree is evident over time but not at the time. I should also mention George Michael's "Faith" also outsold JT that year. In fact it was the #1 album of 1987.
Who the hell could hit dislike!!!!

Do you consider the fact that as the years went by things were better merchandised advertised times had changed the messages were different people and fans in general were different as well the way people looked at music was different
Nevermind was so overlooked as to what it was and would be nothing without the styles predecessors
Record Sales?
oh Yeah Kurdt would have really consider that as victory in expression
this is not a plausible comparison or arguement really

This is 1988, right ? Amazing the impact The Joshua Tree (1987) had on music. This stripped down, back to basics, socially conscious Glass Tiger is so
"Joshua Tree".

"Joshua Tree" is overrated. Hindsight is 20/20, but at the time - 1987 - JT (and U2 in general) was totally overshadowed by, for example, INXS' "Kick".

No friggin way dude. U2´s Joshua Tree was the biggest friggin thing to hit rock since Bob Dylan.

As I said, hindsight is 20/20. But let's take 1987 and compare albums. INXS' "Kick" sold more copies, had a higher chart position, and had more hit singles.

Joshua Tree was the first "indie" shot heard around the world. You can see how their socially conscious,
"wearing-their-hearts-on-their-sleeves" demeanor started to influence bands worldwide (ie:Glass Tiger, Midnight Oil, Tragically Hip, etc).

Oh I agree 100%. It's a very important album in rock history. I was just saying that, back in 1987, it wasn't seen as the big huge deal it eventually became. It took time. It wasn't the instant cultural shock that "Nevermind" by Nirvana was.
marc80s 4 years ago
True. "Appetite for Destruction" and later on, "Nevermind" blew the lid right off the rock world.

Right. G'n'R and Nirvana produced instant change. The influence of Joshua Tree is evident over time but not at the time. I should also mention George Michael's "Faith" also outsold JT that year. In fact it was the #1 album of 1987.
