  • Always loved this song, Good work on the video remix.

  • Tune..... Love this song

  • Nice clip to go with a good song....Peace

  • Zwaar onderschatte band. De best band uit de tachtiger jaren. Vooral de laatste cd's zijn geweldig ( o.a. Laughing Stock en Spirit of Eden)

  • Respond to this video... awesome song... awesome video... great work

  • Like a lot of people I have always thought these guys are totally underated. However when you read the comments on here about each song they did you soon realise they are not, and i`m glad that i`m not alone in owning quality music such as this.

  • this song was nice but too personalself | after it he started to keep away from music word....why? It was so sad? his voice was and he is great yet I'm sure ...It's only question to give to you and its some hot colors ! anew life ...come back talk!

  • please come back Talk Talk!!!!

  • still one of my favorite tunes

  • the current music scene is missing somthing like this. the music of today needs some new pioneers before it totally crumbles.

  • its about time mark hollis/talk talk were in the music hall of fame.

  • Unglaublich...Soundtrack einer glücklichen Kindheit...ColourOfSpring war mein allererstes Album, hab ich mir mit fast 9 Jahren gekauft, das Geld war vom Vater geschnorrt....bis heute das best gehütete Stück Vinyl, wird selbst nach über 20 Jahren noch bei jedem Hören ein bisschen besser...THX for postin these masterpieces!!!!

  • nicely done. almost forgot about this track. thanks for the memories.

  • 80's forever

  • beautiful and haunting,influence Bon Iver.

  • Mark Hollis genius!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful, harrowing, life affirming.....come back Mark Hollis, we need you now more than ever.

  • A work of genius. love this song to bits.

  • The best band of the 80's.

    Such a shame Mark is not around Today.

    5th of April 1986 seems so long ago now.

  • @copeyattamsworth such a shame... no pun intended.,..

  • ...uwielbiam TALK TALK 8)

  • nádhera dá se poslouchat pořád až mrazí

  • Comment removed

  • listened/watched this again for the first time in what seems like YEARS. still just as powerful as when I last viewed it.

  • Ein Song für die Ewigkeit !!!!!

  • beautyful song!!!!!!!

  • This song and the video seem to fit so well together. thanks for sharing.

  • Masterpiece

  • a pure heroin song . listen to the works its all about drugs

  • Simplicity at its best. No huge noises. Love to close my eyes to it.

  • This is one of the most beautifull songs ever made,i like it adore it and they have to play this when i'm leaving this world !!! Steven

  • Very beautiful. I love the sunrise right at my favorite moment in the song where the bass comes in.

  • Oh man, beautiful.. gives me the shivers every time.

    'I buy prejudice for my health' great line

    TY Mr Hollis

  • No1 song Talk Talk fantastik

  • fantastic song

  • Mark Hollis excelent!!!!!!!!! TALK TALK please back

  • on the majority of music videos on youtube, there is almost always an argument on how bad a song is. i find the fact there is hardly any of that about this song a testament to how beautiful and powerful it is. its been said many times before- i think talk talk are one of the most underated bands of all time

  • Completely agree... please I urge you, if you haven't already, to check out the wonders of

    David Sylvian too...

  • Words fail me how great this clip is and what a fantastic job you did, terminus, at 1)finding this Kovacs clip; and 2) synching it up with the song perfectly.

    So, 2 questions for you: 1) which episode of the Ernie Kovacs show is this from and what was the original audio to it?

    2) Did you edit and/or speed up/slow down any part of the video?

    As for the song, what can one say: it's simply gorgeous...I had always liked Talk Talk from the get-go...but "Spirit of Eden" made me a fanatic.

  • Beautiful job! I think that somehow Ernie would have approved of your re-mix or audio and video.

  • Thanks! Now if I can convince everyone of the same thing with the Neanderthal Man Nairobi Trio videos I put up, then all would be good! Thanks for writing!

  • I have to say the visuals fit.

    This track is, to me, absolutely stunning. I can almost hope that if I were tumbled with smack, this song could reach me.

    Spirit. How long?

    That's the essence of the song. My soul is talking to your soul.

    Spirit.

    Masterpiece.

  • ...((d[-_-]b))...a pleasure to my ears!

  • Such an inspired mix of visuals to music...this has to be one of my favourite pieces of music of all time...Mark sings with such passion and the moment the organ comes in at 2:48 gets me every time!

  • I love this video.

  • Les, I think they are the most under-rated band ever.

    I've been following music closely for 30 years and have thousands of albums to listen to. Talk Talk are always the band I return to and this track is possibly their best ever. Sheer genius!

  • i prefer New Grass, but this is also divine. Mark Hollis is God.

  • could this be one of the most under-rated bands of all time ?

  • you cant get away with this these days music that means something

  • Those where the days...when there was music!!

    So sweet. What a great voice. Lovely music!

  • This song touches the soul - awesome!!!

  • ...just heaven, I recon....

  • someone told me that bon jovi are better than talk talk,of course i told em to politley p..s off and talk to me when they understand music,i get hate mail from you tube bon jovi fans haha,oh yes its mr buster cheers people,

  • Yeah, very clever ,but what's it got to do with the song?

  • nothing, really. It is more I had the footage, and thought the music that was originally with it was kind of really bad/boring, so I tried it with different music for a different effect. Just an experiment, that is all!

  • I like it.Thanks.

  • timeless. Mark Hollis is a pioneer and a genious

  • So was Ernie Kovacs.

  • hello here again,cant get too much of good music,this song is so timeless like a nice dream,does that make sense

  • i agree mr or miss buster? talk talk were a fantastic group and this is one of their best tunes it is sublime. a soulful song beautifully sang.

  • its a sound dream...on of the best ever

  • always loved talk talk,and depeche mode two great bands,better than any of todays shit,sorry for swearing

  • on eof the best songs ever made! .. if your children ask u .. "hey what is music" then play this also

  • One of my all-time favorite videos. Your editing is amazing. I love the way the sunrise kicks in with the bass, the transposition of the faces, the watery retreat at the end. I knew nothing about Ernie Kovacs before this. Never would have guessed you cobbled all this together from a skit on a televised comedy show. The long, smooth sweep to the skyline, the glazed looks on everyone but the blinking bum...like the song, they twist the heart. Great job.

  • goose bumps.....,that sums it up.....

  • Indeed--they were VERY under-rated in my estimation--in an era of now of "Boybands" etc. with very a very similar,safe format--(though not dismissing some of the genuinely lovely stuff!!)---this is something altogether different-- However,I'm pretty much one for emotive music as opposed to that dire "Birdie Song" ilk--lol!--and this has so much more appeal for me,being that much more "mature" in every way!

    Gorgeous--moody--lovely!!

    K xxx

  • Such A nice Song. :D

  • These guys went through such an amazing transition. Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are albums that everybody needs to hear.

  • I agree but please don't forget ' The Colour of Spring' I see it more as a trilogy.

  • Greatest song ever....Does anybody knows if this song is available on dvd?

  • you can get a greatest hit dvd,rare but theres some around,try e bay or rare music sites,hope this helps

  • Hello cloudbuster,

    Thank you for your answer.

    greetings tibswim.

  • no problem mate,happy new year

  • spirit of eden...

  • Haunting - beautiful - classic - also listen to "I don't believe in you" - even better - what a guitar riff!!!

  • If you like this track have a listen to JOHN COPE by Talk Talk as well . Another transmission of genius from this great band .

  • Impresionante, asombroso como se pueden transmitir sentimientos en una canción, con una guitarra, las imágenes son tristes, que mal que no entiendo el ingles, pero me llegan igual

  • spirit of eden, laughing stock, & the colour of spring...unparalled genius...who could pick one?

  • Do not view/hear this song in and of itself - hear it as it should be, as part of *the* greatest album ever made, SPIRIT OF EDEN

  • Lots of noise that goes to difference place in my body and mind. Its a really inner-journey. Sometimes scary, sometimes sadness, sometimes happiness and hopefulness. All the way from the beginning to the end is a journey in feelings and emotion from the music and the powerful voice.

  • Did you know the song or the group before you saw this?

  • I dont see the video of non of the songs before, but I know the song and the group sins early or middle of the 80's, when I was a teenager. My favorite song is "Such a Shame" and it still my favorite!;) Other group I like is; Tears for Fears (who also has a couple of songs with much emotion in it) and Simple Minds (so Depeche Mode, U2, Eurythmics and so on).

  • impressive video, Spirit Of Eden is also one of my favorite albums of all time (whereas I Believe In You is probably the weakest song on it).

  • I'm hoping you mean that all the other songs are even greater, because IMO this is a wonderful song.

  • Yes, other song are better than this. I like "Such a shame" as the best song ever. And the album "Its my life" is the best, and the album "The Colour of Spring" is the next best. I cant tell witch song is the best after "Such a shame"... Id like so many songs from this group and its one of my best favorite, and should wish they could make a come-back.

    So what I mention about what I wrote, I could say the same about all songs written by Talk Talk. ;)

  • Wonderful video...there's a lot of symbolism to it with the song. I love how the 'crippled world' is shown with beggars and prostitutes waiting nearby....the "A time to sell yourself" with the fruit cart was icing on the cake. And every time people's faces are shown it's like they are thinking 'spirit' and 'how long?' Amazing.

  • A very gripping tune.. watching this, i felt haunted and as if I was privy to something very important revelations

  • spirit of eden and laughing stock(two last talk talk album) are masterpieces in modern music!!

  • From the Album - Spirit of Eden. Probably one of my all time favourite albums.  A must for real music fans and not for the faint hearted.

  • Yes, truly a masterpiece album, never have I head so much dynamics in subtlety if that makes sense.

    This video dub to the music is genius, absolutely fantastic.

  • very well done, very . . . film noir - in a way that I think Kovacs would have apreciated.

  • there are no words to descrive this....i just...don`t know...

  • quality...and to think i didn't listen to them the first time around (.) do y'know if any of the band still do live gigs?

  • Sadly, they do not, though Paul and Lee are rumored to be working on a new 'O'Rang album. Get all the news on Talk Talk from the leading fan site, Within Without (just Google it).

  • Amazing mash up!! Thanks.

  • amazing vocals...can only sit back and enjoy ;-)

  • like it... wish i could find the video of i don't believe in you

  • sweet!

  • isn't there a song by talk talk called "I don't believe you"? Is it available here?

    I find that one superb!

    80's fan

  • I think you are thinking of Icehouse..."Don't Believe Anymore"...either that or the lyrics to DCD's

    "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove"

  • yes, that is from their third album "The Colour Of Spring," this is from their fourth album "Spirit of Eden"

  • thanks for your reply. Is "I don't believe you" available at You tube? still haven't found it here.

    :-(

    80's fan

  • wish i could see for what its worth i love both those songs my fav talk talk songs but i love all there stuff

  • Fits like a glove.

  • Superb!

  • Wonderful.

  • Really deep

  • Very kind words! This and my version of Nights In White Satin are my favorites. It's like they were written for each other, though decades apart.

  • I've saved this amazing video. I wish everyone could see this!! THANK-YOU! ERIC 5 stars

  • This song is mood-altering.

  • Brilliant, those are some interesting camera angles and shots for that early on, well cut and edited as well as fantastic music choice.

  • Love the video....Captures the mood of what is probably my favourite song ever...

  • Better than the official version. Nice association. Thanks mr Kovacs
