BOULEVARD - Far From Over

[Whoozinga]

Awwww my first real love. We were 18 when this song came out. Such amazing memories, I loved this song, thank you for posting , I might never have heard it again!

[fjislander]

I remember the 80's. I have such great memories from this song.

3 persone non capiscono un CAZZO di musica

[jaworskij]

3:19 - those clouds look odd. I'm aware of chemtrails and the H.A.A.R.P program. Are they not natural? This video is from 1987/88/89.

[nlguy64]

What a great song.You can never beat the music from the 80's.The garbage that is played now is just that GARBAGE !!!!!!!!! Now in the word can anyone call it music.

[blvdbassguy]

I am Randall Burgess the bass player for the band and my son Rio is now a firefighter too.

Great times and great players, would love to play with them all again sometime

[gwwayner]

@blvdbassguy ; I remember a quote; 'Most people lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song unsung.' There is a dearth of musical talent like this today with the phony choreographed and Autotuned productions they call music. How lucky you are to have 'sung the song'! This tune always brings a little ache to my heart and a tear to the eye. - Wayne :)

[carnalite117]

Wow, what a great song.

[ceternyum]

Que rolazaaaaaaaaaaaaa loco...!!!!!!!!! no conocía esta banda...!!! sinceramente que rolaza...!!!!!!!!!!!1

[wolfie0509]

great tune..it's been ages since I heard this gem on the radio. It gets decent rotation on my Ipod though ;-)

[CTeves97]

3 people=shot OMG 71,215 NIICE!!!

[juanmiguel900]

I'm 17 years old and love the melodic rock and aor of 80's.

[SFN1989]

[stonedcoldkitty]

i still remember this tune when i went to montreal..and came home to winnipeg...gosh i sure miss them days

[dulcemusik71]

I love this song from the first time I heard back when I was in Highschool, I just wish my daughter could play the saxophone like that.

[Lucicsux]

who are the 3 idiots that thumb'd this song down???? Justin Beiber is down the hall...morons! Great song...great band.........Cheers

[MrF1alonso]

this is really fun to listen to., i loved the 80's,

[human20freedom]

tonio-nio-nio-nio..paaame s alli graamoula...tonionionio

[souldiver365]

My God ! I haven´t heard that one in 20 years. Brings back great emotions.

[dashedm]

Truly love this song, after all these year....from 1:23 to 1:48 I still am note certain of the lyrics got most...missing something though

Remember the silent smiles, feelings beneath these eyes

Two young lovers running wild, it’s far from reality

Hoping ........

Together we realized that we were two open eyes, it’s far from reality

any ideas

[0746lauralynn]

i just loved this song !!!

[7unitedray]

Hey Kurdtss, Do you have any different One to One stuff.  They had alot more than just 2 songs. Great songs, thanks man.

[misschristine3451]

Wow I was 15 when this was released - bring back the 80's!!!

[koffus]

Another fantastic song! Their first album is absolutely amazing. This is one of the best songs. Thanks for this video, kurdtss!! Your videos are great!

[ClassicRockVw]

Fantastic Song!!!!!!!!!Hard-Aor Forever!!!!!!

[Nick13AOR]

Twilight is my all time favourite Boulevard song, but this is a close second!......

[snowman0636]

Who are these guys lol not to bad of a song sounds like 80's lol !

[komodoman]

Great song from good fun times, most of today's rock is total crap and seriously depressing compared to '80s AOR songsmiths...

[SFN1989]

fucking awesome!!! it's my favourite song!!! "far from over" forever :D:D

[pkfireflies]

So cool

[ROBERTVANJOVI]

Super mega genial!!

100000000000000 d 1000000000000!!

[fjislander]

Good Times at the University of Lethbridge 1988

[cncdaddy]

@fjislander I moved to Lethy in 1990 !!!! Wut a great city !!

[BayBeBoomer]

I have the cassettes of the band, can't find the CD's anywhere. Big fan of the band. Does anyone know what ever happened to David Forbes the lead singer?

[stuib0]

He is an EMT in Washington State. He LOVES it when we pull this up at trainings

[EvAnA876]

dave is a firefighter now and works with my mom haha, this is way too cool.

[MrBlaster72]

They should get back together and do something cool...these guys ROCK!!!!

[Intoxilyzer5000]

@EvAnA876 Maybe out of his four day week he could teach the new Generation good music. ?

[thecapn27]

Crank it Shannon!

[blaststunter]

[teawanga]

excellent!!! thanks for postings, keep the dreams alive!!

[TheTrueFortress]

Blvd. kicks ass. A cover band performing at an Oakville (Ontario, Canada) street party in the 80s played 'Never GIve Up', and I was like, Whoa! This is a GREAT song! Found out it was a cover of a tune from ... Blvd. Bought the album and its follow-up. Thankfully, I now own both on CD.

Listening to this band, you can't help but feel a little better about life on this planet called Earth.

[greymilton]

Cheers from Burlington!

[bubbabubba20042004]

wow, had totally forgotten this song, thanks for posting

[cmharriks]

I loved the 80's. We got to enjoy such great tunes like this, and others from bands like FM, Frozen Ghost, Haywire, etc..

Thanks for sharing!

[inmotion68]

the sax on this track is phenomenal

[jgerhard]

Really cool song! Too bad, most people don't know that this is only a cover version. The tune was originally composed and performed by the german band "Moonique". You can find this and other songs of them somewhere around here on YouTube. Check them out. To me they're even better...

[petebarz]

Great Band!!! For those looking for there albums my wife was great enough to find me a copy on ebay this morning and there is a few left. Either to bid on or there is a store selling a few copies buy now for $2.63 and $3.50 shipping good luck .

[sweatingfretboards]

this is a great classic

[deeej86]

WOW, AMAZING!!!

[otinanaire]

Now that's what AOR is all about!!! Masterpiece!!!

[ah19741]

what's AOR?

[deeej86]

adult oriented rock, it's a direction with in the rock genre and was originally focused on adults, all though I'm sure it's a bit more complicated than my explanation ;)

[JRoca79]

@ah19741 Adult Orient Rock.. is like a melody- dramatic - rock.. catchy tunes..

[RockerTN]

Good song,nice feeling

[Melodiker]

Really nice music,but the Sax sucks.....*g*

I hate Saxophones..........grrrrrrr

[ah19741]

the sax enhanced it. I played sax in band in junior high and high school, I know how cool it is. The keyboard enhanced it, too, didn't kill rock like some claimed. Check out Van Halen Jump!

[michael269]

I love AOR

[hazenade]

Wow! What memories this invokes....thanks for posting! I saw these guys waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80's and still have the LP!

[ah19741]

Do you or anybody have the CD for their greatest hits? It's been discontinued in CD stores and at amazon and e-bay, so I was wondering if I could buy it off of one of you guys. I'm in Coquitlam, a suburb of Vanocuver where this was filmed at Jericho Beach where I've been windsurfing! My name's Andrew, and phone # is 778-217-0444 PST. One of you could ship it to me if necessary. Thanks, and have a good day!

[ah19741]

Excellent video! I agree w tothatextent,

80's music was awesome! This is not cheese, but there was other cheese back then, like Corey Hart! Our parents think 50's and 60's were the best (They're 63 and 65, I'm 33), younger ones think 90's and 200's, us 30 and 40 yr olds know 70's and 80's were best! Sound back then w guitar, keyboard, etc, the feelings it created, was indescribable! Keyboard enhanced rock, didn't kill it! (Check out Van Halen's Jump or Journey's Don't Stop Believing!)

[lunabert]

Here's the original: it's Moonique and "Far from over"..........watch this on youtube!

[toongirl65]

OMG I love this song!

[ah19741]

I'd like to know where this was filmed. Does someone know? It's not Rocky Point Park in Port Moody in suburban Vancouver, nor is the shot of the city Vancouver. It might be Seattle, cuz that's where David Forbes is from. Anyone know, or can tell me how to find out?

[AnimeFroggi]

its georgian bay, ontario if i'm not mistaken

[Oceanspell]

Its actually the pier next to the Jericho Sailing Centre in Vancouver. I know that pier and beach very well as I live 5 minutes away and walk my dog there all the time. The pier and the coastal mountains in the background are an an exact match.

[AnimeFroggi]

okies! it looks really similar though, thanks for clearing that up :)

[ah19741]

How can it be there? The mountains rise from the ocean, and the city skyline, it's obviously vancouver! Someone answered that for me, was Jericho Beach where I've had windsurfing lessons! Ontario?!

[gregkihn]

Hey everyone,

while we're waiting for Blvd. "crazy life" check out FM dreamgirl - another lost Canadian hit from 1988. It's finally up. Anyone remember?

[ah19741]

Are you saying blvd crazylife video will be coming out soon? I can't find dream on and lead me on videos, that sucks! their CD has been discontinued. These guys were awesome, yet they fade into oblivion, and don't make it into rock hall of fame while Beatles do? Journey, triumph, Haywire, Loverboy, Ramones, manfred mann, AC/Dc, April Wine, Glass Tiger, Bryan Adams, to name a few, all deserve it much more than Beatles, same w blvd! 80's rocked!

[tothatextent]

Thank God for 80's cheese. Best music ever. Why do so many people think that if music isn't depressing and morbid then it automatically sucks? Why is it so bad to best happy? Like....fuck!?

[sample00]

went to high school with the drummer, Randall Stoll. He was a big time RUSH fan and could play damn near everyone of RUSH's songs.

His brother was a helluva a bass player. they teamed up with a guy by the name of Rene and did a RUSH cover band in school. They were awesome!

Randall went on to play with KD Lang, Tom Cochrane and a host of other great players and bands

[AceroySangre]

Great 80s style "Hard Rock". Death to the 90s i must say XD!!

[pit1710]

And nobody knows who has written this song! Only a few. You made it real cool. Twenty years ago.

And it hurts.

[ummolupa]

Yeah, only the moon knows the truth. Well Spoken Pit1710. This is not the Original. This Song has been composed by another Band...

[pit1710]

Hello ummolupa,

some say: those who now the truth don´t advertise it. It seems, you are going to advertise nothing. What do you know?

[tickertape82]

This rocks! So smooth! It sums up how I feel about someone.

[alexeimontero21]

the best hard aor !!! hard aors join me!! saludos de peru.

[Pixiegirl121]

This guy had a really good voice. Super pop music innocence...1988. Gorgeous location, Jericho Beach Pier in Vancouver!

[blackdawg99]

If you like these guys (which I agree) you have to check out Roman Grey. One of the best melodic canadian groups out of the 80's. Very hard to find cd called Edge of the Shadow, yet they came out with 4-5 hits of that album, Check it out, it'll set you back like boulevard does!!!

[greekshark]

Maybe the Canadian aor school is the best around.I love this band,this song,this video..It gives you a sense of liberty,like a sweet breeze blowing through your hair while you're drivin' your car.POSITIVE FEELINGS 100%!!!

[Steffmannen]

Does anybody know what happened to these guys?

Did they just disappear or did they form new bands I should know of.

They are absolutely fenomenal!

[monkeywrenchrio]

i do, long story short the bass player, Randall Burgess, left the band after touring for this album, which had plenty of first album success, for family reasons and then Blvd put out a second album but it flopped and that was it for Blvd. im not sure what happened to most of them but the bass player is living in the states doing other things but from what i hear is getting back into things, he has a myspace, if your interested look him up of leave me a comment and ill find him url.

[Jmartin7447]

I'm Dave Forbes's Cousin 3 times removed (we're actually much closer than that might sound.) He is currently a Fire Fighter in North West Washington, he Is Married to Karen Forbes, and has two daughters (Nicole and Amy), and I believe two grand children. message me if you have any more questions about Him!

[dlmc00]

Since you're a cousin of Dave's, would you happen to know whatever became of Mark Holden, the sax player? What has he been doing since Boulevard broke up 18 years ago? Is he currently playing with a band?

[Melodiker]

Great Canadian AOR Band ! Nice Melodies and a fine voice !

[mwmhong]

I spent quite some time trying to track down the band/album for another song by BLVD, "Dream on"

"Dream on Dream on, never be afraid, it's just a moment away."

That song and 'Far from Over' are two of my all-time favourites. I finally found out the artist after so many years, bought the album off e-bay. Kept wondering why I can't find these songs and I heard it all the time when I was younger.

[DonovanYaciuk]

My god - I'd completely forgotten about this song!!!! This takes me back! Thanks so much for posting all this great Can Con!!!!

[whistledog]

I need to correct myself. I thought "Crazy Life" went Top 40, but it didn't. Here's all the hits they had :)

1988 - Never Give Up [CAN #23]

1988 - Far From Over [CAN #26]

1988 - Dream On [CAN #31]

1990 - Lead Me On [CAN #21]

1990 - Crazy Life [CAN #47]

[kurdtss]

Thank you, I did not realize that.

[whistledog]

Blvd had a 2nd album in 1990 called "Into the Street" that featured two Top 40 hits with "Crazy Life" and "Lead Me On"
