I love the 80s ideas of the future: lots of neon, glowing geometrical objects, and very long synthesizer chords. Who knew the actual future would be so lame?
@kinglouie1968 You make a very good point. It seems like there was a certain optimism present in the 80's regarding the future that you just can't find anywhere today. From my point of view, as somewhat of a pessimist, the future for this world appears very bleak and dreadful. Let's face it, overpopulation may be the most threatening factor to our survival. And I agree with you 100% regarding the lameness of today. The present is very lame and I think the future holds more of the same.
The 80's view of the future was like the 50's; misguided and ignorant, flashy and silly.
I think the present and future are unbelievably exciting. I can't understand how its even possible to think for one second that the world isn't exciting and interesting. There is no explanation besides ignoring literally everything in the world.
We've never known, seen, been able to do or feel so much.
Canada and Toronto especially was a hotbed for New Wave bands. CFNY 102.1 THE BEST radio station back in the day. Not sure why but we really accepted new music. I miss those days!
@Johnnywhamo: Amen Johnny! I grew up in Buffalo and it was great to know that when you got tired of the same dreary commercial gruel played on the American stations, you could always turn to CFNY for something good, new, and interesting. I remember hearing these guys, Strange Advance, the Payolas, a Scottish band called The Waterboys (and a weird Irish band called U2) first on CFNY.
Thanks for the post - lots of great memories. Wish I could buy you one of those great Canadian beers. Cheers!
@Johnnywhamo i think it's our british influence, and let's face it the Brits are the champs for music, punk, new wave, electronica......amazing house dj's.....maybe it's that we smoke a different strand of weed than Americans? maybe....
For those those that are interested, the Spoons just released a new album "Static In Transmisssion", it came out last week. They are also currently working on the video for the first single "You LIght Up" . The albums is fantasic and you can pic it up at most record stores.
THE SPOONS was the first concert I saw during my h/s days in the 80s. That night, Sandy was the first one to ever make me consider marriage as a teenager. She's STILL beautifully timeless.
I just LOVED this when it first came out. Back then there were no laptops, no midi, no cells. Looking at this now, well... if we need proof of time travel, then VOILA! :) Thanks for posting this.
Wow, this really takes me back... this is proof that good music really does stand the test of time. The entire album was a masterpiece, used to play it all the time growing up. Wish i still had the vinyl... ah well, perhaps it's time to do some mp3 hunting ;) Thanks for the flashback...
Yeah that was a good song, i too also thought they were British at one time, until i also learned they were Canadians, and from close to Toronto too, i guess you there is right with a girl not getting away with being modest, but then that was the early 80s, that was probably the style then i think
I was in grade 8 when this song came out and I loved it instantly. I remember assuming they were British. I was into Joy Division, Bauhaus, Simple Minds, The Jam. I was blown away when I found out they were Canadian. It just made me love them more.
This is when music videos were made to enhance the story, rather than disguise the fact that the performer, not musician, has no actual talent, like those popular ones today.
A transplant to the Prairies from Hamilton, I miss listening to the Sunday retro show on 102.1 The Edge, also miss "The Ongoing History Of New Music" show too.
I have always loved this song, it reminds me of so much during my pre-teen and teen years, great memories, CYO camp, summers at the Beach and Hutch's, Ice cream at Stoney Creek Dairy, Wild Water Works, Canada's Wonderland, Hamilton International Airshow, Festival of Friends, Your Festival, Prudhome's Landing, WOW, What great memories!
I remember going to the Spoons concert in Toronto; what a great show; they all seemed a little nervous on stage for the 1st few songs what with beach balls flying around the audience.My buddies the next day said they saw it too; as City tv simualcast the visual along with CHUM-FM doing the audio for this concert. City`s Much-music finally brought out the DVD of the Toronto concert along with a Montreal show on the same disc and you can see the difference as the band matured over the years
Why would they do a " digital re-master"? The song sounds great the way it was recorded back then....don't mess with it!! I will never understand why people want to take original recordings and update them!?! These songs are part of a period in music history and should be left alone and heard the way the artist recorded them.
"you want to educate our young".....true, but only so much that they can read manuels and operate machines like good little mindless robots!,(Metropolis!!-1925), so i say study far beyond what they dictate!
@psilva99 ..because oldies rules no compare from new crappy justin bieber , pussy cat dolls, gaga etc..this was real music for the ears..i was born in 1981 when this song was on..still plays on much more retro i enjoy it i dont mind paying 5 bucks every month for this channel.
Before I got access to youtube years ago, it was hard to watch this video because it was never played so the only way I could watch it is on those rare 80s specials.
Misheard lyrics and all when I was a kid, I still love this song.
I spent years attempting finding the album this song (Nova heart) was a track on (arias and symphonies) during the eighties. Thank you so very much for taking the time to upload it here. Stephen Wayne Reno Monday, July 19, 2010
Dear Youtube friends -- I've got a song on my mind and can't remember the name or band. It was typically played on the CFNY/edge 102 retro sundays. The lyrics had something about "out of sight, out of mind' or 'don't walk on by'. I'm not sure if I'm mixing up two songs up but I'm sure this will ring a bell for someone out there. My bet, if you like The Spoons you know and like this song. Thanx.
Thanks for posting this obscure gem! I forgot about many songs/bands from my past and I'm really appreciative to find them by pure chance. If it weren't for kind uploaders who enjoy old school music, I'd be lost and miss out on great but forgotten music. Gotta go, 'Romantic Traffic' is next. :)
Sandy Horne was an extremely beautiful girl, she was like a cross between Carrie Fisher and Bjork. Many a concert we guys would fight our way to the stage to just gaze in awe at this little hot gal, to have a real good gander at her look at Spoons- Romantic Traffic all her looks aside she was a great Bass player too,I saw some pics of her from 2007 and she still gorgeous
Beg to differ, there's no way you could miss the very early 80's sound of this track. The drum machine and guitar tone (two words: chorus pedal) date this track. The guitar and bass playing are far better than the computer assisted work you hear on most of today's tracks. And finally, the actual songwriting is too good to pass for a "something new". Nobody remembers how to write good melodies and good hooks anymore. :(
I remember one day back in the 80's I stumbled into her dressing room, there she was my fantasy putting on make-up and I found her stunning then, even 5 feet away from her. When I finally got the nerve to say something, her phone rang and I think it was her boyfriend at the time....and so that was that!
Today though it's another freaking story. she does'nt even resemble herself anymore, it's as if she let herself go on purpose...maybe she met too many "dicks"!!
I heard an extended version on the radio when I was driving home from work yesterday. It's a beautiful song. Very ethereal yet at the same time catchy and memorable.
She travels with another women mostly across Canada, doing events and workshops teaching about First Nations in Canada,she's second nation. I saw her today.
Couldn't agree with you more, "Sandy" was always cute, but ever more beautiful as a brunette. One of the favourites songs. They don't make great music like this anymore.80's music rock baby!
This has to be one of my favourite songs ever. Hands down! I mean I've head plenty of beautiful music in my life but here is something speical about this. It takes you somewhere........almost mystical. hard to explain without sounding flaky/corny and that's ok too.
This is great-vaguely remember one of the music papers here n the UK mentioning this band-other than that-never heard anything by them-thx for posting!!
song is indeed excellent. i think the video couldve been more nostalgic, new wave-ish and romantically edged. cross between russell mulcahy duran duran video and the eurhythmics "here comes the rain again" video.
I have not seen this video in over 25 years. Remember the song perfectly, but I forgot how interesting the video was. Very very early 80's. I wonder why she's wearing a Victorian dress though?
a good friend of mine who's born n 1980 and I got me on to this...told her that i heard this music long time ago...she introduced this to me but a dub mix of...this music will remain in our heart, makes me cry actually:-(
Video is kinda dorky, but also striking for some reason. A true early 80s classic and one of the best. Probably the most evocative song of my early years.
Met my loving wife of 26 years ejoying this tune. Our kids have since married and gratuated college. It has been a good run. The architects of the world will soon see their NWO come apart but we rest in the Nova Heart of Absalom Jesus. Thanks for sharing this song via the silver Spoons.
A genuine 80's staple classic. The music industry today is so brutal, bands like this now would never get anywhere. Thank god for the simpler old days.
Boy - the guys take that Flock Of Seagulls dance to a whole new level. I bought this album in the .29 cent bin at Aron's in Hollywood years ago. One of the few good twenty-nine cent'rs. The opening instrumental track on the record is great. You could tell these guys (and girls) were really creative musicians trying to fit in the pop/new wave 80s.
a true golden oldie...cfny 102.1, the new music on citytv. old and fat now. cool then though! great song. one of my friends used to play the spoons all the time on our dorm floor at uni. had a big crush on the bass player (can't remember her name at the moment).
oh but now you would be old like me and sentimental about your lost years when you hear songs like this and resentful towards little tarts wearing tights and bad accessories b/c they think it is ironic... sigh
I am from Mexico and I was in Edmonton 30 years ago and I went to a Spoons concert. Since then I have this song in my mind. Thanks for this video...

Couldn't agree with you more, "Sandy" was always cute, but ever more beautiful as a brunette. One of the favourites songs. They don't make great music like this anymore.80's music rock baby!

very underated canadian band; thax for posting.

The 80's rock, I love this song and the feeling I get from the music, very soothing and takes me back to my youthful days

I agree with lovekisslaugh. Takes me back to being 16 and New Wave was King. Deep meaning and excellent synth.

This has to be one of my favourite songs ever. Hands down! I mean I've head plenty of beautiful music in my life but here is something speical about this. It takes you somewhere........almost mystical. hard to explain without sounding flaky/corny and that's ok too.

In a world of black fingernails which seems to be the trend nowadays, Sandy's white ones are truly sexy. Great forgotten song too.

"Arias and symphonies"> One my faves from this era!!! Also one of the best New Wave albums ever!

The song is excellent; and I dig the video concept. Abstract, yet beautiful!!!!
Neptuneman07 3 years ago 2
song is indeed excellent. i think the video couldve been more nostalgic, new wave-ish and romantically edged. cross between russell mulcahy duran duran video and the eurhythmics "here comes the rain again" video.

I have not seen this video in over 25 years. Remember the song perfectly, but I forgot how interesting the video was. Very very early 80's. I wonder why she's wearing a Victorian dress though?

a good friend of mine who's born n 1980 and I got me on to this...told her that i heard this music long time ago...she introduced this to me but a dub mix of...this music will remain in our heart, makes me cry actually:-(

Video is kinda dorky, but also striking for some reason. A true early 80s classic and one of the best. Probably the most evocative song of my early years.

A different tilt to the New Wave movement, and a really cool one.

First saw Spoons back in the early 80's when they opened for Boy George [SF Warfield Theater].
Bought their Arias / Symphonies album after that and have loved them since.

Met my loving wife of 26 years ejoying this tune. Our kids have since married and gratuated college. It has been a good run. The architects of the world will soon see their NWO come apart but we rest in the Nova Heart of Absalom Jesus. Thanks for sharing this song via the silver Spoons.

A genuine 80's staple classic. The music industry today is so brutal, bands like this now would never get anywhere. Thank god for the simpler old days.

Boy - the guys take that Flock Of Seagulls dance to a whole new level. I bought this album in the .29 cent bin at Aron's in Hollywood years ago. One of the few good twenty-nine cent'rs. The opening instrumental track on the record is great. You could tell these guys (and girls) were really creative musicians trying to fit in the pop/new wave 80s.

a true golden oldie...cfny 102.1, the new music on citytv. old and fat now. cool then though! great song. one of my friends used to play the spoons all the time on our dorm floor at uni. had a big crush on the bass player (can't remember her name at the moment).
