The Melbourne Commonwealth games (2006) organisers played this song during a night time light show on the Yarra (at Birrarung Mar). Just spectacular. That is when I fell in love with this song.
this gem of a song just gives me chills.....it's fuh nom uh nullllll!!!! lol and no, all you 16 year old Ke$ha fans, that's not how you spell phenomenal....but anywho............
Thank you for this song when my son was a baby singing this was the only way to get him to sleep, I think it had to do with the way the words ran together so nicely.
Wow i think i remember this from the 80s but no matter it is very nice to hear now hehe i got my head phones on wide ass open blasting this thru- my last good brain cell hehe maybe that little fucker will sprout and make a few more hehehe if any thing can work on this will very southing toe tappoin like tears for fears and big county an so many more thanks for placing this on here. some one needs to make new web site to share videos cuz this site was sold an not it 's place for fuckin adds
i love bein able to look up 80's songs and they are all on here wi/the darned videos too. wish I had this as a teen, but never too late to enjoy this !
Iv spent the last couple of hours listening to HQ uploads of my fave songs of the 80s. Thanks to you all for the uploads. Il only type that once n it just happens its here
Used to have everything the Church did on cassette-tapes...some stupid person stole them from my car and I've trying to rebuild the collection on CD ever since. You shoulda heard some of the other albums...God, it was great to listen to!
Still a really cool song guys, I remember when 2 of my friends Colin and Jay helped engineer it at 301,they where raving about it then,and I think Ivan played fairlight keyboard it still sends shivers up and down my spine! Pete from GALLEY SLAVES
Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."
one of the few times I have a suggested lineup on the right side of the page which is what I like. So I didn't just save the video in fav but bookmarked the page itself.
I was reading something unrelated online that had a line that ended "under the milky way"...and this song bolted back to my memory...I searched for and found it here...and I've found that it still does what it did to me back in the eighties...I listen to it and I simultaneously feel like soaring high on an updraft in the clear blue sky, running along arms outstretched in the surf of a lonely beach, bathing under a shaded forest waterfall and weeping in an open flower-rich field...It's amazing...
Listened to this great song and the Crocodiles album on cassette while driving on the Texas coastline with my girlfriend in the fall many years ago ~2006. Stormy weather of course. What a great memory..
I've heard this song described in many ways in the decades since its release -- but to the one who wrote this song as 'amazing'... well put and accurate. It's certainly a rare song and one that has yet to be matched.
@J0freak Are you serious? The music today is fantastic. It has never been more accessible to people who want to make it, and it's never been easier to get ahold of due to the internet. Before you believe today has no good music, look beneath the radio. Do blog searches. Check the album of the year lists on blogs or websites that specialize in the kind of music you like. I recommend The Silent Ballet; they have a lot of great contemporary classical, post-rock and electronic music. Check it out.
""Lyrically, it captures a feeling of sweet uncertainty. I've set up a very vague world, once you enter it you populate it with your own details. It doesn't mean anything, but that doesn't mean it means nothing.""- comment on the song by its author. quoted from adelaidenow online
@73mandala Cabaret Voltaire were British... but you got most of the rest correct... Australia was going through a musical peak during the 70's and 80's... the world didn't notice the bulk of great stuff... it only got the samples (INXS, AC/DC, Men At Work, Air Supply, etc, etc ... okay, I'm starting to run out of breath.)
They really are aptly named. Their music is so spiritual. Is it my imagination or did they play the East Village the Summer of 88? Whether or not I actually saw them live in NY or Boston I feel as if I have. To those of us who choose to listen and love them they give us the gift of a moment or a memory with them. This song is so sacred.
This song reminds me of when I had just got my license, my first car, gas was .99 cents a gallon and I had all the time in the world with my friends to go anywhere and do anything we wanted to....
Why is it that most younger people want someone to kill themselves, if that other person happens to disagree with their likes? I love this music.. Unquestioned. But I, as a more matured listener, have noticed younger persons wishing ill health or even death to others that don't agree with their thinking. Kinda scary!...
@hydromorph1965 Its the internet you can say whatever you want, so the whole seriousness of saying that person should kill themselves wears off as you do not know them, you cannot see them and nothing happens towards you when you say it. From that, the whole big deal of saying something like "They should kill themselves" becomes nothing more than a new way of saying you disagree with another persons view. It could be bad, it could be good, but that is what it is now.
@curtisdooley Yea, I know what the Internet is! lol! I'm not that old! I appreciate your time in explaining that 'ever wanting to know why' expression to me. And, I have learned from it! Tks! It just seems disturbing to me as an "older schooler' to hear something like that. I guess it's because I am 'old school'! lol! I don't know. It just seems a bit harsh to me. But, now I understand. Tks, Curtis. Shawn
@curtisdooley Hey Curtis! BTW, I'm glad that you like 'old school' alternative. As we elderly called it! You have great taste in music! Keep listening! C'ya! Shawn
I fell for this song when it came out 1988...I loved driving to it...It would and still does give me goose bumps. It also descibed a crazy relationship I was trying to deal with in my early 20's now 47...where has the time gone. Kids enjoy your youth because one day you'll wake up and find yourself old , the years roll faster with every year...
Brilliant as always. Saw them many times in Canberra when I was a bit younger, in the early eighties before they hit it big, at least in Oz. Steve is a great bloke, fantastic band

I do love this song... Fav memory. Coming out of the Valley in 1988 about 3am from a 3 day wedding in Mexico with my Brother. Our old '78 Bonneville didn't have a radio so we had a Boom box sitting between us in the front seat listening to a comp tape. This was song number 1, 7 and 13 on the A side. I miss you Bro...
@GaleasAg1 Yes I can hear a resemblance in their voices. Both great singers. To me they both have great voices but not in the traditional cookie cutter American Idol style. They have a uniqueness that so many artists lack.
Back in the 1980s/early 1990s, I was into The Smithereens, The Plimsouls, X, The Ramones, and Screaming Trees. The Church, The Cure, Echo and The Bunnymen, and Peter Murphy were just about the only synth-type artists/bands I listened to. This song is pure genius -- pure light.
This a really great song that my YT buddy UC turned me on to. He was on ships that docked in Australia. I do agree that the best songs were from the "80's. It was marvelous to sit home and listen to music on my 4 pounding Pioneer speakers.
You heard people say- "it will never be found", "it ain't true", "it just can't be".
I'm here to tell you these People are wrong- I found it. Using Google Earth -
I found God's Watermarks of the REAL Garden of Eden. Look at my Channel and see the short Video I made of it. I didn't point all of it out either- there are many things still hid for you to find. There is even a picture of God- come see!
@TheWaynelds I feel like there's too much treble. Compare the sound quality with this one /watch?v=-Q6nKP10j4s which I think sounds better but unfortunately doesn't have the video.
@MrJohnkb que cagado justo estaba viendo la pelicula y cuando la escuche la busque y veo este comentario! No mames pinches conecciones universales! D : :D
its a shame us aussies were so far away from the rest of the world in the 80s we had/have so much world class talent.. these guys are as good as it gets.
We're orbiting a star with deleted hydrogen levels so without so understand there's a fake religious blood sacrifice planned for old (Physical) snake-gods (Rev 19-18) by deluded Illuminati sellouts ruling the world & although you can't stop-it you don't have to give them your soul within their fcucking paradise devil-heaven as reactive-cyanide armour piercing rounds kill ANYTHING that's ET seeking to eat you while a simple cyanide compound in a water pistol in the face up close fcuks them up...
I was working night shift at Walmart and was on my 2am lunch break. So I took my lunch and went out in my topless Jeep, listening to the radio. Then this song came on as I looked up to the stars. It was just me and my old Jeep under the milkey way that night.
One of the stalwart songs in my life; I may not hear it for a really long time...when I DO hear it, it is such a comfort and fits my soul like a glove. Love it...old friend.
@flightoneleader Your name is flightblabla? And the song lyric in question is about aviation?? ...eehmm...I think I smell a cosmic clue . Now it must be cloud curtain/curtain of cloud. I don't wanna go, so lower the clouds, then my plane can't land. Fly me elsewhere. This was probably written in the mid 80s? '86ish? They looked pretty weathered and wasted in the video, a far cry from the hipsters they were, or Steve was, 5 years earlier. Could it be chemicals as well as aviation, as in flying?
@mistersmith6000 Lyrics originated March 19, 1986, - yes, flight was involved. Memphis = a lament. Halley's Comet contributed --- "The actual, original lyric (not the one shown here) was "I lowered the curtain down in Memphis, I lowered the curtain down, alright."
I still have the cassette, great song, 1988,1989, better time period for me, i was 30 then, now i feel old and dont care for most of todays music.

This a really great song that my YT buddy UC turned me on to. He was on ships that docked in Australia. I do agree that the best songs were from the "80's. It was marvelous to sit home and listen to music on my 4 pounding Pioneer speakers.

You heard people say- "it will never be found", "it ain't true", "it just can't be".
I'm here to tell you these People are wrong- I found it. Using Google Earth -
I found God's Watermarks of the REAL Garden of Eden. Look at my Channel and see the short Video I made of it. I didn't point all of it out either- there are many things still hid for you to find. There is even a picture of God- come see!

@TheWaynelds I feel like there's too much treble. Compare the sound quality with this one /watch?v=-Q6nKP10j4s which I think sounds better but unfortunately doesn't have the video.

I was working night shift at Walmart and was on my 2am lunch break. So I took my lunch and went out in my topless Jeep, listening to the radio. Then this song came on as I looked up to the stars. It was just me and my old Jeep under the milkey way that night.

One of the stalwart songs in my life; I may not hear it for a really long time...when I DO hear it, it is such a comfort and fits my soul like a glove. Love it...old friend.

@flightoneleader Your name is flightblabla? And the song lyric in question is about aviation?? ...eehmm...I think I smell a cosmic clue . Now it must be cloud curtain/curtain of cloud. I don't wanna go, so lower the clouds, then my plane can't land. Fly me elsewhere. This was probably written in the mid 80s? '86ish? They looked pretty weathered and wasted in the video, a far cry from the hipsters they were, or Steve was, 5 years earlier. Could it be chemicals as well as aviation, as in flying?

@mistersmith6000 Lyrics originated March 19, 1986, - yes, flight was involved. Memphis = a lament. Halley's Comet contributed --- "The actual, original lyric (not the one shown here) was "I lowered the curtain down in Memphis, I lowered the curtain down, alright."
