  • This song is quite old, most likely 27 years old, the video is that old, as well as the recording in itself is not the best. 

  • For some reason the sound quality here is not very good. I actually find it more difficult to enjoy the song because of that.

  • Back in September, I had a dream that I visited my old neighbors who live in Kingston, Massachusetts and this song played throughout the visit during my dream.

  • Great performance by Sheena Easton. Great lyrics and music too.

  • Good song from the day...but WHAT is with the video games??? I laughed so hard when she pushes one across the floor and then shoves it over the balcony....funny.

  • @chadrr01 hahahaah, this is the period when we did not have that many video game systems, most people got coins and used to go to arcades to play...so, the dude here is not with any console but was just "another" guy who like the guys today are into video games. Like me now. hahahah

  • she is so sizzling hot!!!!!!!!!!

  • ¡¡¡¡DEFENDER!!!....¡¡¡NOOOO!!!

    

  • old songs are the best ever! swear! :">

  • Absolutely perfect!

  • flawless

  • Beautiful woman with an amazing voice.

  • Great song!! Some dweeb would ignore a beautiful woman like this for a video game??? I think not, stupid video.

  • Great. I Love This Song. Though there were new pop song in this time, I Still appreciate this kind of music, and i love it.

  • When you come back around, after painting the town, you'll see i'm almost over you. Brilliant lyrics

  • I Love this song.. Sheena is Awesome!!! How could anybody not like this song, I think that music today has lost all of it's heart and soul!!!!

  • he ignored her so he could play defender. I knew this guy

  • What a voice....

  • I love you Sheena but if that was my Defender game that you tossed. You would meet the same fate. Sorry but just being real!!

  • I love Sheena Easton. How I am going I wish singer today could sing a ballad and dance music. With the shit that they play today I don't see a singer ever touching Sheena Easton ever.

  • came here to compare, but regine eat this song.. sorry sheena like your song..

  • unbelievable! i love it.

    thank you.

  • BEWARE, I LIVE!!!

  • Is this a Jim Steinman song? I can't seem to find the answer. But the chorus melody definitely has a Steinmanesque vibe and not to mention the video.

  • Sheena hit #25 in Billboard, 3-10-84. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Is Sheena still livin' here in the US?

  • Defender & Sinistar....Legendary!!

  • Sheena knows how to express emotion in her soft songs like this one. The tune starts off gloomy, then her voice and the song's beat build up more hope towards the end. A beautiful song to listen to whenever you think about a loved one that you no longer see.

  • She's singing through my heart for my X back in 1991 who I allowed back in my life almost 2 years ago to have me upside down and broken hearted again ... I told him from day one 2 yrs ago he would break me he promised he wouldn't but lied .this time not to other women but an addiction he has. Really sad. God please help him before it's too late .

  • awww, I love her voice..this song is so sad though :(

  • Help me get over u please, let's talk. I d0'nt know what had happened between us.. I wanna hear it straight from u, talk to me!! :'(

  • Oh man, this was like one of my favourites of Sheena's. I used to think she was singing this about us. LOL

    She's my rock.

  • Oh man, this was like one of my favourites of Sheena's. I used to think she was singing this about us. LOL

  • I was brought up listening to Sheena Easton, and I've just came across this song again.

    Don't know why I ever stopped listening to it.

    It's beautiful!

    <3

  • i like this song,.naka relate sa past ko,.

  • i like this song,.

  • I will forever love this song.

  • Phantastic song.... Sheena Easton and her beautiful voice.....

  • One of the greatest songs of all times!

  • Rememberin' 80's

  • Please, have a look at her spanish version of this song. It was excellent. The adapted lyrics translation (not textual), Her phonetics, her pperformance and feeling were unforgettable. One of the very few english spoken persons that sing perfectly in spanish.

  • BEAUTIFUL

  • one of my favorites !! love her voice

  • Sheena Easton + beautiful ballad + "Defender" arcade game = huh?

  • whats with the video games?.....lol

  • What an angelic voice, and the looks to go with it!

  • She looks like a Gay-boy. I love her!

  • classic. love it.

  • Love this song. Got me through a few breakups.

  • Sheena Easton was so HOT HOT in the 80's her music and her style and i want those video games ; )

  • ill never be over her.

  • Maybe she was after all the quarters.

  • She obviously didn't want him to beat her high score...

  • This song is so hauntingly beautiful. It is heart wrenching. I love this song. Sheena Easton can sing anything.

  • i love this song. reminds me of my exx from 15yrs ago. he was my 1st love and he broke my heart every chance he got. i got married 9yrs ago to someone else. but never stopped think of him. and last year he married. and i see she is know the one in place. but i can say i almost over you.

  • i think he left her for the videogame ...

  • she's very pretty and has a great voice..

    love Sheena Easton song. . . so inspirational

  • This song was released when my wife ended our 11 year marriage. It gave me hope. I re married and it lasted twenty years. R. I. P. Karen. Love you... Miss you

  • @Angelofkaren1 .... you are one of the lucky ones ... not giving up on love.... so glad that you had a great life with karen. RIP Karen. Love goes on forever....

  • i like sheena easton

  • Pretty, pretty song. And she was a hottie.

  • I love this song.

  • Comment removed

  • this video taught me that when a girl gets a boyfriend, he moves his arcade machine into her house.

    apparently

  • Now I know who destroyed my first car all the way back in the 80's when I went to the movies to see "Back to the future" I parked it right under that apartment building and I found that video game machine crashed on the top of my car , at that time I thought was something that crashed there from the future.. you guilty Sheena..

  • Damn she's strong! Lifting that big video game machine over a railing is quite a feat for such a petite girl.

  • Dedicated to my ex! 

  • BEWARE, I LIVE. I HUNGER. RUN. RUN.  RUN.

  • your sexy andi want to bone your

  • the director who made this video was probally a teenager

  • I didn't know that Sheena could play piano! THAT ROCKS!

  • @kja427 Now why would say that the director of this music vid was a teenager?

  • how could anyone not like this song, I guess they like the crap that is playing on the radio today. What a shame some people don't know good music when they here it.

  • Back then, a singer would do hard-hitting dance/pop but was still able to perform a completely ez-listening-station ballad like this.....I dare say that art has been lost in the new millenium....thanks Sheena for this gorgeous song!

  • "Yeah, Sheena is so beautiful, Sheena has such a beautiful voice, shes so wonderful"

    Is it just me, or did anyone catch the psycho bitch shoving a 250lb coin-up machine off a three story balcony?!!

    Man, some of you women are so delusional its downright scary!!

  • This is nothing new, men finding video games more interesting than women, then the women destroy the men's video games

    /watch?v=Gf9IQ6Te6ss

    now, man has porn... what is a woman to do?

  • That's not a real Defender it's a mock up with a Defender Marquee

    It is a real Sinistar though.

  • Now Im almost over you I've almost shook these blues so when you come back around after painting the town you'll see im almost over you... time heals all wounds they say and I should know coz it seems like forever, but im letting you go. --classic, love this song

  • BEWARE! I HUNGER!

    RUN COWARD!

  • Excelente video , uno de los que quedaran grabados a fuego en nuestros corazones, saludos ..

  • sheena is very pretty love the song very pretty

  • over defener but apparently not Sinistar

  • . . . feel sorry for the saddos who are concerned about some stupid video game when Sheena's pouring her heart out - LOL !

  • this song is fantastic!!! thank u..

  • whats on video game?

  • Damn, I love that song!

  • enough with the video game already.. LOL

  • She sure showed him!!! Girl is dangerous around video games!

  • Another videogame widow.

    She hits all the notes perfectly, though. Hot Scottish babe!

    Freaky freaky video....WTF is up with the dude in the reflection wearing fatigues??? Does he have some kind of Galaxia fantasy life going on???!

  • my favorite song

  • WTF Sheena. Why did you throw Defender off the balcony. What did that game do

    to u.

  • Die Frau hat echt saugeile Balladen. Danke Sheena. Ich spiele selber Klavier und leite teilweise eine Freikirche im modernen Popsound.

    Die Lieder sind echte Anbetungshymnen, ich singe/münze sie halt für/auf meinen Jesus.

    Wie geil...die Lieder...feeling pur

  • you for a while i had someone that done me bad and i really held to this guy then finally one day i finally got over him but part of me will always love him because he is the father f \of my boys but my i have a whole much better now thank u jeff i have some who do doeslove me now

  • Beautifully sung .... Beautifully written perfect song !! T I M E L E S S.

  • You go girl.

  • R.I.P. VideoGame/Arcade. :'(

  • I love this song. One of my favorite songs from Sheena Easton and one of my favorite love songs.

    Never seen the video until now. I agree with y'all. That videogame did NOTHING to her! lol

    Someone needs to make a literal video of this.

  • Hit #4 AC, #25 pop in the us (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless

  • I want her hair, she has great style! Incredible voice!!

  • pls. help me to get over you.''

  • John leave me alone

  • been singing this song for quite sometime now... pero yon, hanggang kanta lang...

    but now im able to utter these words na - "after 8 long years i finally have to let you go, and I'm getting there"... :)

  • Thought of this song, after a comment a high school friend made... Loved this song in high school. Loved her too!

  • my god!!! she was so damn beautiful

  • Bar this woman from GAME ARCADES, y'all!!!!!!!!!!!

  • worth watching just for the sinistar game, and the defender cabinet.. although it wasn't a working defender game...yeah, both of those games are very frustrating!

  • Why would she do that... it was a perfectly good arcade game

  • Lila McCann remade it for her 1st album. As good a version as Sheena's. Sheena made #25 in Billboard.

  • This is a lovely song!!

  • I think this beautiful song is a soundtrack for a movie anybody know what?

  • I don't think "Almost over you" is/was part of any movie soundtrack as far as I know. The song was released as the follow-up single to "Telefone" back in 1983 not 1984.

  • I see, then what does the arcade game have to do with the song? I thought it was a soundtrack because back in the 80's the arcade games were pretty famous and there were a lot of movies about them.

  • The arcade game has nothing to do with the song. Since like you said the arcade games were famous in the 80s I guessed the director of the video just incorporated the game into the music video. In this case, Sheena's ex-boyfriend loves to play the arcade games, but they had split up and the game reminds Sheena of him, she decided to throw the game out of the balcony. LOL : )

  • I see. Nice interpretation wouldn't have guessed it :-p

  • "Run, coward!"

  • i love the song!! and sheena easton too...

  • 1984! old school

  • Comment removed

  • Sheena was always a hot Babe!  Great Voice!

  • Comment removed

  • Sheena Easton was one of my first crushes I had when I was a kid.... wow she is gorgeous!!

  • Wow -- beautiful song. Old favorite of mine.

  • Georgous song , gorgeous Sheena , bad set design. And you wonder how a bad director can screw up a good song ? I get the fact that she's in an apartment that her and her ex shared....but placing video games in the background with Sheena in a stuning formal gown in full make up ? Incohesive imagery. Bottom line director ....music videos are a visual medium jackass !

  • Man I forgot how fucking HOT SHEENA was!!!!

  • This song..wow...if you listen to the lyrics...

  • The song is good but seeing Sinistar in this video makes it even better for some reason

  • Love this song

  • great, great, great song!

  • Beautiful singer, beautiful song, beautifully sang.... LUV this song! Thanks for posting, OP!

  • So, is this a theme song for all the World of Warcraft widows?

  • man she was so damn beautiful.

  • lol, i thought that was a little.... unusual, too. haha i mean, good lawd, how much does she bench??

  • How dare she destory that videogame

  • Okay Sheena, I understand you're heart-broken, but do you really have to destroy that video game?! Just for that, I'm not letting you play my XBOX!

  • Right? LOL!
