  • Yeah I love the other video much better, but I always loved this song since I saw the 1986 movie 'Modern Girls", 8Os music was perfect!

  • Ice House

  • Quite possibly the best voice, hair and drop dead gorgeous!!!! I love Iva Davies:)

  • @totally80slady i could not agree more! he is really cute!!

  • NO OFFENCE, but I know know why they made an alternate video, because this idea for a music vid sucked, sorry, but I prefer the alternate version, makes a lot more sense : )

  • I used to think this was David Bowie when i was a kid...he actually still sounds like him now :-)

    Love this song...always have.

  • Way under-rated band. These guys are really good.

  • @yakfitguy I totally agree.

  • I remember the first time a heard this song, somewhere in the 80s. I remember thinking it was David Bowie. It kinda reminded me of "This Is Not America".

  • True, life has no promises, just journeys....

  • What's he got one of those poles up his arse?

  • GRANDE PERFORMANCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a vocal performance for the ages; range, emotion, restraint; it's all there.

  • Maravilhosa essa música. Os anos 80 foi a melhor época!!

  • Holy Mullet!

  • David Bowies Brother

  • Me encanta esta cancion, lindo video ...

  • fervent new wave love song...

  • Great voice in a great song!!1I am lucky because I was young at the 80s and I used to listen to all these classic songs!!!

  • this singer dances,, sings and acts what a one man gangie

  • @mywifeforever Composer, Iva Davis & Robert Kretschmer wrote this song, plus Icehouse wrote 100 others, Iva is also a Sydney Conservatorium trained musician & composer, is also an accomplished Oboe player, see "Man of Colours" here on YT a song dedicated to his father an artist, a video in which his wife a ballerina dances also.

  • @webaroos His mother Dorothy was the artist

  • Mullets; the hair fashion disaster of the 80's

  • MULLETS; the hair fashion disaster of the 80's

  • uuufffffff

  • Muitas saudades!

  • simply superb moment in Icehouse 's career,, i have collected all of the icehouse cds now and have a new best of icehouse cd ,' White Heat' personally signed by Iva,, Bless

  • I'm 18 but I would happily wear a Icehouse shirt,music before i was born was REAL MUSIC,Jethro Tull,Peter Gabrielle,Midnight Oil,Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Iron Maiden,Metallica.

    Now days its all fucking button pressing that is "pop" music, only Real music is Rock/Metal and associated genres.

    FUCK RAP

  • @Stag2506 I wish that you were my child...

  • Going through my account erasing videos that I no longer want. So happy to come across this video again. Such an incredible sound that can never be reproduced. I honestly don't understand how anyone can dislike this song. I also really miss the 80,s.

  • This song is very Barry Bissell.

  • 80s music was and still is the best!..the crap we gotta listen to these days does my head in!

  • What a Mullet. Still the main fashion for Western Sydney Caucasians and Queanbeyen residents.

  • the eighties shall live forever and ever!!!

  • what the hell of a song? just deep!!

  • sem comentarios, demais linda musica......

  • this song is genius imo. A classic.

  • Great song......

  • 31 people were dropped on their heads a babies, or their mother smoked and drank while they were in the womb.

  • Absolutely brilliant song; from a time when musical talent was at its best.

  • Nananana Nananana! No Promises

  • Back when music was considered a form of art.

  • @numase1  Wow, we are blessed by the presence of one of the great minds of our age.

    Tool.

  • I loved this song forever what great memory, reminds me of growing up and listening to Wsnd (the Notre dame university radio station). I may not of slept much but sure did smile to here a great song.

  • voice reminds me of david bowie

  • GREAT SONG !!! GREAT AREA !!! 80ies never die !

  • 25 years later...it is still amazing, and brings me back.

  • AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND THIS SONG STILL GETS MEEEEE!!

  • i can feel.....it...still in 2011

  • absolutely my fav icey song

  • why is he standing on molecules

  • 80's music was the best! Rock on Icehouse!

  • Que bande por DIOS!

  • When I listen to this song and watch this video, it makes me realize that we are all walking on thin ice. Even the ground below us is moving. Nothing in life is "stable". We are forever changing. There are no promises in life. If you've had it good, bless yourself as lucky and hope it continues. I certainly hope and wish for the best in life but this song re-confirms that you can't make "sense" of life when there is "no sense at all".

  • Nota 10. Aliás..nota 1000!!! grande sucesso de Icehouse!!! valeu!!!

  • Love the song since then. Similar to David Bowie - This is not America. The theme song in Falcon & The Snowman Movie

  • @dannyM7M I so agree with you! i never thought of that till I read your comment! Great food for thought!

  • What a TRUE GREAT CLASSIC 80s song!

  • One of my favorite songs of all time. It just rings true in my ears. Love hearing it when it is played....

  • احبك مووووت okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkk

  • Muito boa! Viajo nessas músicas dos anos 80 :)

  • saudades , não tem idade , linda canção

  • Never seen this video till now. Thanks for the upload.

  • Pure class, music that will last forever.

  • God these people could make music! One of the very best Rock bands of ANY decade...

  • magic & glam

  • Iva did a better job at been Bowie, than Bowie himself.

    Either that or a cross between Bryan Ferry and Bowie.

  • @ynnebbenny : Definitely a Ferry/Bowie. He did an album of covers called Berlin that, IMHO, is his best work. He covers Talking Heads, Bowie, Roxy, Lou Reed, and on-and-on.

  • si supieran lo que es sentir con esta canción!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Playing my Cerwin Vega home speakers, with the LP record, this song carries great sounding bass.

  • bei diesem tollen song vermisse ich direkt die 80ziger........ ( Heul ).wunderbare´´s lied............

  • Recently heard this song on the radio for the first time in years. Such a great song from such a great Australian band. Never realized how much Iva Davies sounds like David Bowie.

  • This is a different video from the UK release (which had Iva driving an opent topped sports car to a lighthouse). Remember watching it in Baggito's Bar in Aloa back around '86 or '87. AHHH, nostalgia!!!

  • todays um you know youth cant um create you know music um like this um music which um like really was sort of MUSIC , LONG LIVE THE OLD STUFF!

  • One of Australia's finest bands. Please Please APPLE do it for us

  • Don't make promises that you can't keep!! 

  • 29 dislikes. hmm either from 13 year old kids and Wall st Bankers. Much the same depth in meaning to thier fun filled lives.

  • @Nevawake - how could anyone dislike this song. Gives me chills everytime. still.

  • @bunataj

    31 Def Leppard fans apparently don't like this. Ignoramuses.

  • Great song! One question: Is he a proton or an electron?

  • God only knows how you can not totally love this song

  • Tempos bons acompanhados de ótimas musicas.

  • linda musica

  • Why, why, why are their songs not on itunes?!?!!!! Please someone, put Icehouse into the digital music download world so we can live in happiness! I need them on my ipod! <3

  • @JMSS143 MP3ify.com is your best solution there. It's the best way to convert these videos to mp3 format.

  • EVERYONE ASKS THE SAME QUESTION - IS THIS DAVID BOWIE?

    I TELL THEM NOPS........

  • 1 of the best songs of the early 80's

    I saw them live @ a San Pedro Beach Scene 1984.

    Shared a stage w/ Andy Taylor Belinda Carlisl, El Debarge, Art of Noise,Missing Persons plus free 1 of my most fondest child hood memories. I love Crazy Electric Blue n this song is featured in the mid 80's awesome occult classic "Modern Girls" a club movie about 3 hot women a night on the town great movie great soundtrack. He has the sexiest male mullet ever and Suzie Quartro wins female.

  • One of the best sounds of 80's! Good!

  • Ich liebe dieses Lied. Da werden Erinnerungen wach......

  • I always end up naked after listening to the voice of Iva...damn it

  • david bowie...

  • Loved this song playing through my 300 watt Yamaha amp with Klipschorn speakers back in the 80's. This song filling up all the rooms was bliss!

  • @ciance

    Brilliant idea. I can only imagine how awsome it sounded.

  • This captures the innocence of the 80s!!

  • @80s2Heart The 80's were the best! Another great Australian Band from the 80's there are sooo many great Aussie Bands!!!!!!!!! I agree totally!!!!!!! I am not a valley girl:) Just brings back great memories for sure:)

  • I don´t know why but he reminds me a little of David Bowie in the 70´s, great song!!

  • Touring Oz as a new romantic act in the 80's - now that took guts! These guys are class.

  • brilliant

  • Hey, don't knock the mullet. Iva rocked it so well! And this is an awesome song! When did music AND hairstyles become so bland and boring/ Today, some idiot can throw on some jeans and a beanie and walk onto the set of a music video. Very sad : (

  • luv this song

  • Anos 80 sem dúvida os melhores, isto é musica

  • Seriously amazing and cosmically moving song, and all you idiots can do is comment on his mullet. Who cares ! It was the hairstyle of the time.

  • It is a world class mullett. 

  • "Life in my mullet, turning 'round and 'round;

    making some sense

    WHERE THERE'S NO MULLETS AT ALL..."

  • They played this song on a movie called House of the Rising Sun...because of that movie I will forever equate this song with hot, short-haired brunette females...who are really undercover cops

  • Let's forget about his haircut...it's their fashion that time..let's just listen to the music!

  • Love this song....

  • So,...you don't like his haircut. Me neither.But why can't you display some class and compliment his music? Oh,...I know why,....'cause you have no class. Just some idiots that have displayed their ignorance and stupidity to the masses.

  • Yeah, it's some kind of Super-Mullet, made from the parts of Lesser Mullets.

  • veryyyyyyyyyyyyy good muito boa

  • muy "80" este sound track suena en una película, alguien sabe el nombre de la película?

  • Can't get enough 'No Promises'.

    How long do you reckon Iva worked on that arm to be able to just hang there for so long? : D

    Lets build a time machine back to the 80s!

  • Einfach Geil. Dieser Sound ist einfach Zeitlos.

    Das kann man noch in 100 Jahren höhren!

  • Cant get enough of this classic track.

  • Isto sim è uma musica !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Excelente!!

  • Una perfecta armonia, cuando realmente los musicos "tocaban" sus instrumentos y no como hoy que programan computadoras. Este track me transporta a la sutileza de la musica perfecta para volar.

  • i always thought David Bowie sung this..LOL

  • @nick4alex I know. He really sounds like him, huh? I thought that at the time, too.

  • @icbr

    hehehehe....so glad someone agrees with me....but its a top song anyway :-)

  • @nick4alex

  • Okay, "out david bowied" is SO true! I never connected the two before; but that is amazingly accurate. LOVE IT!!!!

  • Now why isn't this on iTunes? This is epic. :D

  • When David Bowie was "out david bowied"!

  • @77roadhog hahaha that's a good observation, considering Bowie has his roots in Glam Rock , but Iva Davies was always New Wave.

  • 27 CHILDMOLESTERS!

  • fucking shiet

  • para viajar en el tiempo...no se necesita ninguna maquina ...solo buena musica..excelente....

  • AWESOOME music. I remember buying the very first Icehouse album becuase of the album cover. I'm so glad I bought that first album because they put out so many great songs later on.
