@robelinda2 Certainly is mine too, although Models' related, it's hard to go past Hold On or King Of Kings. First time I have realised that there is a video clip for this song.
@80sOldSkool Yeah i didnt know there was a video either! I bought this song on 7" single back in 1989 after hearing it on Triple M late one saturday night, always loved it since.
I never quite understood why they let James join The Models i thought they were polars apart.and the Models didnt need him. However I guess it worked and some great music was made, however I dont think of him as part of The Models still.
I've got the original release of this song on vinyl... hadn't ever seen the video till now. (i should rip it & upload i guess) Great post. Great song.
James i first saw u at the Palais St. Kilda 1980 supporting Gary Numan. This song confirms for me that u had the best voice in Australian Music. You were the soundtrack of my late teens and u have left a hole in my heart."one fine day all gods children will be one." RIP.
This track is SO SO beautiful. It reminds me a lot of mid to late 80s OMD actually.
On tracks like this and Hold On when James has a very emotional message, it really touches me. SO beautiful, Love You james *** I hope you are at peace +
Richard Fydler replayed his interview with James from a few years ago and James said songs from this album weren't quite finished. You can hear that here. It's not as polished as "Out of Sight Out of Mind". Someone should re-do this album and release it as it should have at the time. There's a nice song under there somewhere.
I have spent time today looking back over my Models - James Freud music and memorbelia. The Models and James was one of my fav's. How quick we forget just how much Aussie music- Aussie artist leave a footprint on our lifes. I remember Countdown and spending all money I had on buying these albums and pics and seeing them live. A great Aussie talent lost. Deepest sympathy and thoughts to all that were close to him. 'I Hear Motion' I will play and more in memory today...
I made this video and another for james - so sad - so talented- so kind - so sensitive - and the best and hardest working musician - all the love to sal and the boys x
Hi too all who read this he was,is a great man brilliant mind and sole some of the most ground braking song writer's in Australian music ,80,90s Barbados -modern girl,two cabs to the toucan,Out of Mind, Out of Sight, are in the 80s hall of fame...
make no mistakes about this man with his looks moves and charisma will always be unmarketable brilliant , the hard knocks were never taken lightly
I don't understand why James. Something must have been really bad in your life for you to do this and leave your family behind without you. So sad mate. You will be missed.
OZ could do with another James Freud. The guy had it going on....he and Sean Kelly were perfect foils...if only they stayed away from the Uncle Dugs they may have made a fortune!
My favourite James Freud song.

So sad you had to go like that. Especially for your boys & wife.
Loved the Models. Still have their records on vinyl.I remember seeing them with David Bowie at the Sydney Showground.
James' sons obviously have his talent & amazing looks. Hope they & their band do well despite this terrible loss.

Ode to James Freud.... RIP to a man who added to my wonderful wayward existence in the 1980s!
This is not 'One Fine Day'... what a shame he couldn't see any other option.
