I am in my 40's ,and I remember going into a real old time Head shop/Record store in NY ,and seeing my first Furs LP. I grabbed it for shits ,and I still feel that this singer is a very powerful Vocalist .His voice is Haunting ,and timeless. These were very young kids doing their thing. I am not saying this band is timeless , but some of their material may be. They certainly have more soul than the Jonas Bros.
The music of the 80s took us to a new place in music, the changes were so different from the sound of the mellow 70s and disco era, some of these new wave bands who still play live because THEY ARE IN DEMAND!! Id go back in a minute, God help the music industry, it will never be the same ..Come on people throw away your cds and go buy back your record player!!
80s sounds were so sweet, across the board ... there was such a variety as well. I miss high school and growing up in the 80s. I think it's kind of cool to go on utube everyonce in a while and download a song. Sometimes it takes me back to a memory etched in my mind. All the high school ones are full of fun and rocking out. We used to wash down vicodin with wiskey and smoke johnson grass chase tail all night. Nowadays I still rock, but dont really like todays music choice
I regret not being fully into the 80's new English invasion. I was resistant, I loved my Stones Who Genesis King Crimson ect.ect..much much more at the time. Closed Mind. I listend some, had no choice back then, but thanks to First Wave on Sirius...I love it and seen the light!!! So my musical likes have expanded of course. Furs, smith, church, simple minds and JOhnny Marr..lol! Quite brilliant!
This song is dedicated to my soulmate & true love Kimberly.....with you there is only Heaven........God does everything with purpose. He created you, a beautiful angel, without wings only to make you stay with me forever. I LOVE YOU my little angel..
Great song by a great band....just saw them play at HOB Anaheim and it was a great show. Also check out the song "In my Head." Not very well know like Heaven, hearbreak beat, love my way or ghost in you.....but stellar nontheless!
Just say " the Psychedelic furs" at the knitting factory here in reno about 2 hours ago. " Damn, they still totally rock", I haven't felt that good for a long time. God, I miss the 80's!
To know EXACTLY how to go to HEAVEN when you die, please click on my name and view the video "HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN" on the right side. If anyone thinks that you will go to heaven simply based on being a good person, or doing good works, don't be deceived, for no good work will take you to heaven when you die. You can, without a doubt know for certain your eternal destination and God has made it so simple. Please watch to hear the most important information you will ever learn in your life!
@MumbleSlam Guess you missed where I mentioned that today's 'pop' product doesn't compare to yesterday's or today's alternative stuff......but heavy-handed production has been with us since before the "Motown sound" of the mid-sixities. Some people love the rough and ready sound of "Talk Talk Talk" while others prefer the lush, polished production of Midnight to Midnight. Does the fact that M to M produced the only top 40 single of their career, mean that album sucked? Mmm, I don't think so
Snow Patrol? Seriously? You know, if you just come out of the closet I'm sure mom and dad will still like you and not be ashamed about you. I bet you like a lot of those machine enhanced voices or those lip-syncing singers of today don't you?
@peterdaniel66 The Furs were an alternative act and the current pop icons you mention are very much mainstream, though I tend to agree that their output is comparatively disposable. Listen to: The National, Digitalism, Hadouken!, The Helio Sequence, The Airborne Toxic Avengers, All That Remains, Attack Attack, The Bravery, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol, Midival Punditz, Radiohead, Rock Kills Kid, Snow Patrol, Vampire Weekend....and on and on. IMO, the spectrum is still varied and interesting.
@tommyluvstraci Yeah, Mirror Moves was the end of their classic run. I still liked their stuff after this, but their first four albums were brilliant, my favorite being Talk Talk Talk. 1988's single All That Money Wants was a nice return to form. Heaven was actually the first video I saw of the Furs back in '84 and they've been one of my favorite bands ever since.
Yeah, I became burned out on a lot of the sixties stuff through incredibly heavy-handed FM rotation many years ago, but ya gotta give props to that era in terms of the enormous range of relatively original experimentation that was going on.....and as someone who's Dad loved Guy Lombardo, my pity for generation X'ers only goes so far. ;)
@72258todd Great response, I can't argue with any of it. Having checked your profile, I find I was wrong to assume you were a 'youth' as it were, which was why I said that thing about the eighties. Anyway, your stance on the snootiness of old to young is good, refreshing, and by me applauded. I salute you, sir!
I love this song, particularly the guitar solo at 1:35. Interesting video, too. With all that spinning I'm thinking there was probably some amount of vomiting going on between takes. And the rain is a nice touch. I just hope their guitars weren't plugged in.
Used to love watching NightFlight on USA in the early 80's. They would show cool movies like Breaking Glass and Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains.
Why all the mentions for Bieber,shouldnt be in the same sentence as these guys or any other noted groups,sadly for us music like this has disappeared off the production line for good leaving us with the sewage that is infesting our ears daily!
Saw the Furs in Dallas in 1987 at Bronco Bowl. I managed to get Richard Butler & John Ashton to autograph my Midnite to Midnite cassette label. I really miss those days.
I'm waiting for another British Invasion of the 80's. I was in my late 20's and early 30's during the 80's and it was a fun and exciting time--believe me, I lived it!
I was 18 years old when this came out and had just moved to a big city out west, all new to me. It was an exciting and flashy time when people had alot less worries. This beautiful music really tastes like that time to me. Videos were new and exciting back then.
All the "music was so much better in my youth" comments are old-fart stereotypical because your parents probably said exactly the same thing. Yes the eighties generation produced a great deal of stand-out music, but those who claim that everything coming out now is crap, either haven't looked hard enough, or have indeed, crossed the old-fart threshold.
@72258todd i think kids are much more open minded on music than any time in my life. and i agree with you. i love iamx, chris corner's band in germany and robots in disguise in england. both have unique music. and now you only have to buy the songs you like which means you can buy more types of music. i think the 80s fit in this generation well. foreign bands especailly often sound like they walked off mtv in the 80s. and i think that is cool
@72258todd We had exactly the same thing, but the worst thing is it has never stopped. The constant obsession with the Sixties has been going on without pause for forty years. The fact that your generation have a connection to the Eighties helps our older generation appreciate, and connect to, the new 80's-influenced artists. But imagine going through an adolescence with old disillusioned hippies as parents...you should pity Generation X!
@72258todd I highly doubt that Brittany Spears and Snoop Dog crap as well as Fifty cents will be nearly as long lived as this will be. There is a certain craft.. a caring and professional attitude as well as a different way of doing things that simply does not exist today. Individualism flourished back then while today, its all about who can shock you with language and nudity and violence. Im 44 and I love lots of good music from every decade, its just harder to find the quality stuff today..
@72258todd The large majority of anything mainstream or on the radio is COMPLETE garbage. And I don't think I've crossed the "old-fart threshold" since I'm not even 25 years old. Majority of my favorite
albums/bands come from past eras. Does that mean there is no good music, fuck no, but there sure was a lot better quality of music in the past. Because, in the past, before producers could make you "sound good" in the studio, musicians/singers used to have to have a thing called "talent."
@MumbleSlam The majority of mainstream music throughout all of time has been complete garbage. It's made that way to appeal to a large group who don't want to think or feel too much from music. It's not generational and it's not due to technology. This isn't the kind of music that got a lot of play in the 80's. It was the same crappy pop that plays now. Ever hear of Tiffany? Debbie Gibson?
@cthulhusmom That's true, I never said that most of it wasn't, but I guarantee you if you listen to the oldies station, which plays songs that are/were mainstream, nearly every single song outlasts and outshines ANYthing played on the radio today. It is a progressive dissolution of quality over time. So, yeah, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany sucked, but not as bad as Miley, The Jonas Bros, etc.
@MumbleSlam There's not much to say except .....bummer for you being born 25 years too late. You're swimming upstream no matter how hard you try.........but I admire you for it.
@MumbleSlam My 21 year old son not to long ago got angry at me when I told him a lot of today's music was crap, so I got out my album collection and let him look though it as I told him most of the albums I bought as they came out. His response to me after looking at my collection was, "Wow dad it's no wonder you think most of today's music is crap." Your comment reminded of that. Thanks
@72258todd I would agree that you have to look hard, very hard, to find anything produced these days that is original good "music" and not just an amalgamation of attitude, noise, and full-throttle marketing.
Yes, born in 63 and was in my twenties in the eighties. The music was the best till 84. Then Madonna began the downward trend that we are still experiencing today. A few good bands from the UK are around today, but lately we are fed mostly crap.
@GinaCary interesting comment, i was born in 67 and I feel the same way at times... after 83/84 music begun to lack in quality and excitement factor. There is good music out there but music companies are only interested in what they think sounds like "money in the bank". Also, I think there are a lot more bands out there today than back in the 80's to choose from, the problem is finding the music as radio is dead and MTV is just trash.
@TheCriticEye Why does MTV still have the M at the beginning? I checked their lineup last night and they dont have any music videos at all. Its got shows like When I was 17, Made, True Life, Disaster Date, That '70s Show and some crap called Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant. I remember when MTV first hit the scene and all the I want My MTV commercials, Randee Of The Redwoods, Alan Hunter, Nina Blackwood, and I remember seeing Thriller for the first time. Man, music and television in general sucks.
@TheCriticEye Psychedelic Furs were one of the influences on The Killers. And The Killers are awesome...so, some good stuff still going on....but only on the Indie scene.
@JeanLouisBarrault Yes, while the Killers and other indie groups sound pretty good, I think good stuff can also be found in other genres, one has to know where to look though.
@Capnsensible80 This was before them . They were at the peak in 1981-82 ,and these were very young Lads!. At this time there was a yearning to move away from the Classic Rock,Disco ,70's nudnicks. and try to move in a totally different direction. .It did lead to some corny Cul-de-sacs,but it also opened up new avenues for experimentation.
@GinaCary You just gotta know where to look. Good Old War, Yukon Blonde, Fleet Foxes, Cast Spells, Maps & Atlases...all amazing bands that im sure even someone in their 50s could enjoy
@GinaCary I disagree. I see the downward spiral beginning with Britney Spears in 1995. Very good music came out in the early to mid 90's. Smashing Pumpkins? Nirvana? And these groups were heavily influenced by great 80's bands like the Psychedelic Furs and the Replacements. Maybe you don't like Pearl Jam or the Smashing Pumpkins, but these were quality groups. Things really fell off a cliff not in the mid 80's, but in the mid 90's and have yet to recover. Just my opinion.
Now this was the time of experimenting with music and fashion!!!!What the hell happened to the 90's and 2000'ds is unreal to me! glad i got to experience it!!!!!Really the coolest music ever! So Many Memories!!!!!!!!! These people nowdays have no idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
@MsBuffy1972 I saw the Furs in Glasgow on Friday 29th October - I almost cried when they did this and did all the Butler actions - what a saddo! I hadn't seen them since 1987 on Midnight to Midnight tour.
It was the bast time I've had this year in clothes!!!!!!!!!
@Lonegan63- I agree with you 100%. The 80's ARE unbeatable!!!!! So much heart, brilliance, imagination, the cool factor, I could go on and on and on!!!!!
I remember when I was 16 and I stayed up till 4 in the morning with my finger waiting on the record button, so I could put this video on my Furs' VHS tape.
I recorded all their videos so I could watch them anytime I wanted, and now, years later, youtube exists.
I am a photographer, and I totally plan on recreating this video with photography! Its one of the best videos, one I have always had in the back of my mind!
"One of the greatest bands...Richard Butler; a beautiful man, inside and out -- and the only voice I can hear when I'm writing lyrics. You give me chilliest chills and smiles for miles... I'll never forget the rain the night we met. LOVE YOU RB!!!

Funny, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool metalhead, yet there's always been something to these guy's songs that hook me in. I have to say that I don't like the extra heavy keyboards in this mix of this song, though.
is the whole of the heart and heaven don't tear you apart yeah heaven is the whole of the heart and heaven don't tear you apart there's a song on the air with a love-you-line and a face in a glass and it looks like mine and i'm standing on ice when i say that i don't hear planes and i scream at the fools wanna jump my train and heaven is the whole of the heart and heaven don't tear you apart yeah heaven is the whole of the heart and heaven don't tear you apart yeah heaven ah heaven yeah heaven
heaven is the whole of the heart and heaven don't tear you apart yeah heaven is the whole of the heart and heaven don't tear you apart there's too many kings wanna tear you down and a world at the window gone underground there's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine and a clock on the wall and it counts my time and heaven
I went to high school in 81 thru 84 and college 85 thru 89, so I'm definitely a 80's fan. I love this song and all 80's music, really brings back memories.
Thank god I was born in 82 and I grew up watching Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, The Cure and many other stars on MTV not in 2000 watching Justin Biber, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Soulja Boy, and many other laxatives on youtube.
E @jac012100 Seriously Can u think out of thE box mmmmm I guess not cause u are a low IQ american mmm ok just keep posting preset answers that is exactly y. Ur country will dddddddiiiiiiiiiieeeeee u guys r superficial and anybody takes advantage of u
I'm glad some people in your generation can appreciate this. It saddens me when I look around and see what the kids today have for music and culture... just that rap and dance music garbage. I wish I wasn't so damn old, but then again I'm glad I was a teen in the 1980s and I got to live this firsthand.
@djsuperstarla82 I was born in 72 so right around 82 I was lucky enough to be getting this kind of music as mainstream. In 86, it all fell apart. Today I don't see anything creative, artistic, or clever about the RnB and autotune in the radio now
@djsuperstarla82 ur right thats why music from urbyne and moonlight ora is soo dope they are bringingback that 80, s music the real music not that garbage that mtv and bet pumps throug the air waves non stop.
@djsuperstarla82 Thank god I was born in '63 and was in my 20's during the 80's. Other than the constant threat of nuclear anhilation, the music and parties were awesome.
@djsuperstarla82 i left the US for about 18 months, returning in mid-1983. (I was not able to listen to music while gone). When I left near the end of 1981, everything was what we now call "classic rock" -- Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Boston, Styx, Journey, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Eagles, etc. When I got back, and could listen to music again, everything was 80s music. I couldn't stand it at the time, but now I really like it. I don't think I will ever like 99% of what's been coming out since 2000.
@djsuperstarla82 Dude, just because people like me are born later doesn't mean we listen to the crap from our time. There are a whole buttload of us with taste. I know you weren't trying to offend but I just thought I should address your slightly condescending comment.
I am in my 40's ,and I remember going into a real old time Head shop/Record store in NY ,and seeing my first Furs LP. I grabbed it for shits ,and I still feel that this singer is a very powerful Vocalist .His voice is Haunting ,and timeless. These were very young kids doing their thing.

Im 44 and I love lots of good music from every decade, its just harder to find the quality stuff today..

@72258todd The large majority of anything mainstream or on the radio is COMPLETE garbage. And I don't think I've crossed the "old-fart threshold" since I'm not even 25 years old. Majority of my favorite
albums/bands come from past eras. Does that mean there is no good music, fuck no, but there sure was a lot better quality of music in the past. Because, in the past, before producers could make you "sound good" in the studio, musicians/singers used to have to have a thing called "talent."

@MumbleSlam The majority of mainstream music throughout all of time has been complete garbage. It's made that way to appeal to a large group who don't want to think or feel too much from music. It's not generational and it's not due to technology. This isn't the kind of music that got a lot of play in the 80's. It was the same crappy pop that plays now. Ever hear of Tiffany? Debbie Gibson?
cthulhusmom 9 months ago
@cthulhusmom That's true, I never said that most of it wasn't, but I guarantee you if you listen to the oldies station, which plays songs that are/were mainstream, nearly every single song outlasts and outshines ANYthing played on the radio today. It is a progressive dissolution of quality over time. So, yeah, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany sucked, but not as bad as Miley, The Jonas Bros, etc.

@MumbleSlam My 21 year old son not to long ago got angry at me when I told him a lot of today's music was crap, so I got out my album collection and let him look though it as I told him most of the albums I bought as they came out. His response to me after looking at my collection was, "Wow dad it's no wonder you think most of today's music is crap." Your comment reminded of that. Thanks

Yes, born in 63 and was in my twenties in the eighties. The music was the best till 84. Then Madonna began the downward trend that we are still experiencing today. A few good bands from the UK are around today, but lately we are fed mostly crap.
GinaCary 1 year ago 13
@GinaCary interesting comment, i was born in 67 and I feel the same way at times... after 83/84 music begun to lack in quality and excitement factor. There is good music out there but music companies are only interested in what they think sounds like "money in the bank". Also, I think there are a lot more bands out there today than back in the 80's to choose from, the problem is finding the music as radio is dead and MTV is just trash.

@TheCriticEye Why does MTV still have the M at the beginning? I checked their lineup last night and they dont have any music videos at all. Its got shows like When I was 17, Made, True Life, Disaster Date, That '70s Show and some crap called Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant. I remember when MTV first hit the scene and all the I want My MTV commercials, Randee Of The Redwoods, Alan Hunter, Nina Blackwood, and I remember seeing Thriller for the first time. Man, music and television in general sucks.

It wasn't lacking in the mid-80s per se, it was just underground again. Bands like Dinosaur Jr, the Pixies and Sonic Youth were all going strong.

@Capnsensible80 This was before them . They were at the peak in 1981-82 ,and these were very young Lads!. At this time there was a yearning to move away from the Classic Rock,Disco ,70's nudnicks. and try to move in a totally different direction. .It did lead to some corny Cul-de-sacs,but it also opened up new avenues for experimentation.

@GinaCary I disagree. I see the downward spiral beginning with Britney Spears in 1995. Very good music came out in the early to mid 90's. Smashing Pumpkins? Nirvana? And these groups were heavily influenced by great 80's bands like the Psychedelic Furs and the Replacements. Maybe you don't like Pearl Jam or the Smashing Pumpkins, but these were quality groups. Things really fell off a cliff not in the mid 80's, but in the mid 90's and have yet to recover. Just my opinion.

these classsic 80's bands knew how to capture your attention in their performance. They had such natural creative spark and charisma.

@djsuperstarla82 i left the US for about 18 months, returning in mid-1983. (I was not able to listen to music while gone). When I left near the end of 1981, everything was what we now call "classic rock" -- Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Boston, Styx, Journey, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Eagles, etc. When I got back, and could listen to music again, everything was 80s music. I couldn't stand it at the time, but now I really like it. I don't think I will ever like 99% of what's been coming out since 2000.
