Clio - Faces (1985)

[kinmanyuen]

after listening about 2000 times... I still can't enough of it!

[g23rock]

Been in love with this since the first time I heard it. When she starts 'ooooooooo'ing I feel like crying.

(it also mixes with the Pure Trance version of The KLF - What Time Is Love for anyone wanting to try something a bit different!)

[umwatlol]

The Electric Youth cover is too clean and very bland.

[GrandMasterGuess]

I found a new song.....*Add to favorites*

[yrag3891]

just can't get enough of it

[Mamalittles]

I'm addicted!



[thesparkxz]

well i suppose i outha thank electric youth then.. this one's amazing

[djavale]

Io???Clio!!Bellissimo disco!!!

[1970wideboy]

einer der besten italo-disco songs ever !!!

[fognadicalcutta]

Inutile resistere... la melodia è ipnotica nella sua bellezza...ti prende e non ti molla più..

[kinmanyuen]

the overlapping short synhesizer chords + the dynamic bass in the chorus + voice makes it very ambient, so are the drums

[MyidolGwen]

I love this song. There's something so unique about it.

[maccagrabme]

@MyidolGwen Yeh, better than the new version.

[nexxuzmex]

COOL :)

[KippinCollars]

Lyrics?

[325iaddict]

I finally decided to click on this because YouTube kept on presenting this one to me, to the right. and lucky boy I am I did so! WHAT a beauty, this track... I have countless italo disco CDs but on no one this song was ever recorded... a real shame!

[MultiTBL]

..and full of details. Really, really well done, congratulations! The vocals are timeless and so beautiful, not too often heard in italo disco. Not many songs strikes me like love at first sight, maybe 1 out of 100. This one is one out of a million!!! Just bought the 12" vinyl single on ebay. Thanks for uploading!

[MultiTBL]

Being addicted to italoDisco since 2004, i discovered this amazing tune just a few days ago here on youtube! WOW! This tune is sooo perfect in every aspect: You can hear the analogue circuits of the synthesizers, the programming work of the sequences is awesome and full of deta

[tungt88]

Just listened to this and it goes right near the top of my favorite Italo Disco songs; I love the song construction/production, really really well done!

[WindBlade97]

Clio's pretty hot if u see a pic of her

[1970wideboy]

italo disco at it's best - love this song so much :-)

[alexalin]

trage sus lu' '10

[DetroitLove4U]

An Impressve find - the 80's years later is throwing out great music that I've never heard!!

[deldawn]

So that where Adamski got the break from!

[MediaHoax]

Still the best of all the Italotracks I know !

Very good sound.

[Huelva]

Gosh, where was this flawless piece of Italo hidden all my life?

[electronicexposure]

omg billiant.

[friscosound]

All'epoca non ebbe un grande riscontro radiofonico.Peccato.

[tinyninjakris]

effin awesome i like the electric youth version as well. why dont they make music like this anymore??

[kemicon]

Awesome. love the Electric Youth version too!

[kinmanyuen]

track is so addictive. They got everything right in this production.

[pornswordtobacco]

Music!

[32KOFDATA]

Found an image of the EP "Eyes" and the name is written "Cleo"

hmmm why?

[AlexTheIV]

Wake up in the morning, snort a line of rainbow glitter and get down to this song. The rest of the day will be spent thanking yourself.

[wbmx1981]

cool track!

[MyidolGwen]

It's like I walked into a 1980s Wonderland! With legwarmers on!

[NewWaveFan1]

rad

[ColumRogers]

I just discovered this song via Electric Youth's coverand it is love at first sight. x

[SKOTP69]

YES!

[alvi2000]

amazing.. what great song.. first heard the cover by electric youth.. the original has a great vibe.. loveit

[Trayleen]

Is it some drug in it? I can't stop listening to this, and it's been a year since I discovered the song...

[craptrap]

This is easily the most amazing song I've stumbled upon by coincidence. Like ever!

[MrGaryGlobal]

Wow! Didn't know this song before discovering it on here. What a great track! Beautiful classic Italo and great melody and synths.

[rak1able]

fajne 

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Sooooooo B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L :-)

[epernay74]

Is it just me, or is the intro very very similar to "Killer" by Seal?

[kinmanyuen]

@epernay74

no, it pre-dates George Michaels track.

[epernay74]

@kinmanyuen

Sorry, I was trying to point out that Seal, or whoever wrote "Killer", seems to have taken the intro from this and played around with it....this song would only have been 6 years old when Killer was released.

[ThePellerhead]

@epernay74 yeah i know what you mean, bit similar alirhgt

[QDIGS04]

imo, this could probably be the best song ever made

[13101988andoni]

oh man!!!, since i started with the eighties songs at 2005 (2007 youtube) i keep finding songs!! just unbelievable how many songs in one decade!! my channel is already so fat of eighies songs its gonaa blow! hehe! THANK YOUUUUU!!!

[DJEclipseNiagara]

This song makes me want to go back to the '80s.

[fognadicalcutta]

Effettivamente i 230 pollici in su sono giustificati : arrangiamento superbo, ottima programmazione synth/scelta sonora, e poi la voce è sensualissima (ma non da gattamorta), molto "eurostyle"... Come al solito dovrò andare alle varie fiere del disco e passare ore e ore alla ricerca di questo pezzo (le più belle ore della mia vita !). Il ritornello poi "ti prende", sinuoso e felino.. : musica irripetibile altro che Amy Winehouse... CHAPEAU ai compositori ! ;-)

[FabioRussoNapoli]

Straordinario brano. Che vede anche la mia partecipazione.

[fognadicalcutta]

@FabioRussoNapoli : ...onore e gloria imperitura a te, Maestro. Lode, Lode e ancora Lode...mi/ci hai fatto sognare con gioielli musicali come questo. CHAPEAU

[FabioRussoNapoli]

@fognadicalcutta

Grazieper gli immeritati complimenti. Lieto ti piaccia.

[WASIV]

I would like this song if the word 'faces' wasnt being pronounced w/ 3 syllables!

[1970wideboy]

Eines meiner Lieblingslieder der 80'er - einfach grandios :-)



[idro85]

come mai nessun commento italiano su questa bellissima canzone.Io adoro l'italo Dance in particolare quella melodica :questa è in testa alla mia classifica!! Mi fa tornare indietro a quei bellissimi anni 80. Bravissima Clio!! Che peccato non apprezzare più questa musica . Un collezionista sfegatato degli anni 80 Ciao a tutti quelli che hanno la mia stessa passione!!!!!!

[dany8056]

@idro85

Hai ragione..gli anni '80 sono indimenticabili.Sono i miei anni

[dorkici]

wowwwwwwwwwww

[kinmanyuen]

I think the background synthchords have been dubbed 3 times, with half beat delay added and lowered volume. It creates a very nice overlapping echoey blend. Also used in the chorus leadsynth. That's why it's hard to pick out the tunes ;)

[kinmanyuen]

played it hundreds of times and still the magic touch is there!

super chorus tune

[SynthWho]

I've had this on repeat all day. Don't know what it is, but this song is so charming and rich. :)

[funkfreak1503]

this song always reminds me of new years :D

[Jap1485]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY....... I Founded This Record!!!!!!

I'm Looked For This SUPER TRACK 25 Years!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING

[hiandino]

Awesome!!!

[czechivan]

super beautiful song

[AnimalsRightToDance]

I 've been so crazy about 80ies Pop the last year that i decided to make my own 80ies style Pop song and give it for free. I am calling all the 80ies freaks to musically connect with me with:

"I like to treat you bad " by ARTD

[36Lisaw]

the electric youth re-make is awsome too :)

[AnimalsRightToDance]

@36Lisaw I agree. i have them both in a playlist but i let them play both. None of them bores me. it must be the groove!

[TheItalodancers]

Elegant & Brilliant.

One of the best Italo's

[kinmanyuen]

the vocal is simply timeless

[bluepuppydan]

The analogue keyboards running through out this gem is what makes this song so captivating, not to mention the beautiful italian accent. To be listened to on a I-pod with the best headphones or in a European Nightclub at 3am in the morning - 1986.

[1970wideboy]

Hammer Nummer! Absolut top! Ich will die 80'er zurück

[MrRikard1994]

It´s one of the best Italo Disco songs i have ever heard.

MrRikard1994

[MrRikard1994]

It´s one of the best Italo Disco songs i have ever heard.

[movietransfer]

Immaculate Stylish track - detail and balance in production - i love this style its pure art

[kinmanyuen]

this track is hard to replicate, many overdub and mixing work.

[obaida6]

top top top top top top

[Soundtrack1000]

melodic 

[theduelist78]

forza italo disco!!!!

[wizzracket]

aha! its not til the ending part that this track tops the electric youth version ^^ up till that id say their as good as each other

[starkweather444]

I've watched this video like 30 times since i discovered it a month ago.

[fognadicalcutta]

@starkweather444 :  ...is already a drug for me.. I enjoy every time !

[fcoeldredge]

This song is so...'85...it's wonderful!!

Thank you!

[babumoshaibabumoshai]

awesome... so this is the original by ceo ... and the one by electric youth must be a cover or remake... am i right??

[kinmanyuen]

@babumoshaibabumoshai

yup!

[mozmozman]

one of my all time best italodisco ...amazing sound

[djmusicjac]

beautiful synth, new wave. I love the sound, nice melody. I will add this tune to my 1980s italo nouveau new wave collection, 5 stars

[kinmanyuen]

awesome synth / multy dubbing work, concidering this was made with mid-range/budget equipment. The guy was only 20 years old.

I like the synthbass with the dynamic flanger effect.

[Vinylized]

This is an incredibly stunning track, considering the year that it was released.

[Tomaldinho9]

just listened to both. I like this more.

[jackpiratable]

super melodie!sound optzecist-de discoteca!in 1985 aveam 14 ani!...ce vremuri!...

[4l12]

Mais comme ça butte grave !

[vaglan72]

VERY GOOD ITALODISCO SONG

[Aleksandar1210]

Thanks for upload this song !

[Crossing3084]

i like this one better

[LucaBrasi2010]

the beat iz something else it feels like iv heard the chorus before on tv just cant think of it or might be a similar chorus or a advert ????

[kinmanyuen]

played it 1000 times, still love it!

[Edvinas1995]

Best Song !!!

[CazK88]

Where can I find the lyrics to this song? They arent anywhere online!

[juanricardog]

@CazK88 I WANT THE LYRICS TOO. AIN'T ANYWHERE

[omgitalo]

Awesome, one of my favorite italo disco songs.

[tockyn]

hey, could you help, im know ennglish, but not my language, so what she says in the part : faces, you see a lot of people "got your faces"?....,

[kinmanyuen]

or "till you won't tan your face no more"

[dacia1410]

Bellaaaaaaaa

[123xxrobertx]

Memories of older times are back with the one; nice & touching song;)

[MediaHoax]

Ooh, I never walk on the sign 'till we can find a way to love. Ooh, we'll never walk on the signs if you won't touch your face no more...

[Pommit]

@MediaHoax - Isn't it 'Never walk on the sand..."?

[MediaHoax]

@Pommit Could be sand, yes. Could also be sign or sight or science.

It's not stable. "Walk on the sand" sounds like "work on the science" at 3:04.

Sometimes it could be WALK on the sign/sand/science or WORK on the sign/sand/science

It's a bit vague hahaha.

Also Faces is written like this on the cover: F.ace.S why??

It's defenitely one of the best italodisco tracks I have ever heard; ...full of codes and darker meanings or not.

[kinmanyuen]

@MediaHoax

I think this:

ooooh, we'll never walk on the sun till' we can find a way to love.

oooohooh, we'll never walk on the sun till' you won't touch your face no more..

[MediaHoax]

@kinmanyuen That's also very possible indeed.

Do you have an idea what it could mean?

[kinmanyuen]

@MediaHoax

I think "stop flirting with people(faces), see older "faces"(someone close to you).

You'll never settle for true love (walking on the sun) untill you stop flirting around."

[Pommit]

@MediaHoax - Walk on the science wouldn't really make any sense at all given the rest of the lyrics. What would it have to do with science or even a sign? I know a lot of italo disco lyrics are very poor in translation, but they are not usually nonsense. "We never walk on the sand, till we can't find the way to love". I suspect you might be looking it a bit too much. This sort of stuff is never profound in terms of lyrics.

[stkthree03]

Ooh, I never walk on the sand 'till we can find a way to love. Ooh, I never walk on the sand 'till you won't hide your face no more...

[TrajkovskiNet]

THANK YOU! simply perfect. If you were near I would buy you beer just for uploading this diamond.

[endlessgreg]

I may be wrong but the track seems to be running a bit too fast... sounds slightly off compared to the versions of it I've heard in the past.

[kinmanyuen]

This song keeps placing my mind to the sunny mediteranian sea and breeze.

[rikmills]

yum-yum-yum LOVE this track.

[DiscoSource]

beautiful!

[rensdenobel]

Touches a very nice string. Thanks for uploading, awesome track. Enjoying every second of it.

[TerryNutkins80]

Let's be honest, much of Italo disco hasn't aged well. However, this still sounds fantastic.

[mystrtube]

@TerryNutkins80: i don't think at all that '80 disco hasn't aged well, certain in that among thousand productions you have to make a selection. But in most of the cases it's sufficient that you accelerate the song at need.

[kinmanyuen]

Ge-Wel-Dig!!!

Supernummer!
