somtehing that always strikes me about the guys in Go West was (and yea I know this is a video and they are "acting" maybe??) they seemed to be having a ball making these videos and singing their songs. If you are in a band and love your music and enjoy presenting it then man you have got it all !!!
i remember this song from the 80,s when i was 13 and it was a great song, saw them at sheffield in dec 2011 and they were just as good, top gig loved it
love videos like this when everyone appears to be having fun. What ever happened to that? Now it's ugly expensive cars, wanna-be thugs throwing money around and half naked women.
I remember being a young lass watching this video and being SO jealous of the black lady pampering the lead singer. Give me a break though, I was 19! Think of Justin Beiber fans now! Same thing back then kiddies!
You got to Admit The 80's was the best time to be young, and even now the youth of today can be seen enjoying the 80's. Don't look down look up at the greatest decade.
@hawks922 I graduated 1987 and remember this song and era all too well. I miss the styles of clothing. It was simple and fun. No cell phones, no internet (at least world wide web), hip hop rap wasn't totally mainstream, cars were simpler and no too computerized as they are now. Unfortunately Ronald Reagan was President then.
The youth of today "don't look down" at there parents anymore when little gems like this is featured on there computer games, No GAGA NO BEIBER AND ANNOYING RINGTONES 80s was best.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I've only ever heard one of Go West's songs 'Call Me'(that's gonna stay my favourite because I link that to my memories with GTA Vice City) but I like this song and vid, it's cheery.
asda play a larger selection of 80's forgotten gems, love this song bought it as a single had call me on the b side ! i know im old was 10 at the time i can be forgiven.
Peter john Vettese on keys. This guy is probably, along with Trevor Horn, single handedly responsible for the iconic synth sound of the eighties which people like Nik Kershaw emulated. Interestingly, these two guys have their musical origins in Prog Rock. If the kids knew that at the time they'd be like: "Eeeeeewwhhh, hippies" :-D

i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the 80s !!!!!!!
seriously i am so thankful everyday that i could live at least a couple of years in that amazing amazing decade, i remember from the mid80s onwards , all the light bright and shiny pop melodies of the day that were pretty much a reflections of the times / zeitgeist and all of that.. it was pretty much paradise
how sweet the memories the laughter the music the hair and neon the carefree eighties.........so fun i wanna open a club that takes it back there to the eighties a time warp of fun and music.and happy flourescence....sigh i wanna go to a go west concert now .....at least ill know all the words
I,myself dnt like club music ,It is so fucking horrible ,but this which is not really club music ,even though U can dance 2 it is so gr8 n wht makes it so gr8 is tht U have musicians who actually play music ,not some DJ who remixes,samplesnloops a songs n presto 1 2 3 ,he or she claims 2 have made a song n then have some singer sing 2 it ,tht,s just total bullshit 2 me!!!!!
Go West was one of the bands that flared VERY brightly at the beginning.
It may be 25 years old and my ^$^$ cassette player may be in need of replacement, but I STILL have the cassette of *Go West*.
*We Close Our Eyes*, *Call Me*, and *Don't Look Down* were near perfect examples of the power and enthusiasm of '80s pop music. And, really, they still are.
The 80s are the new sixties or so i've heard and i was lucky enough to be a teenager in the mid eighties when body warmers and skate boards were cool.and listening to this groovy track at breakfast on the radio when it broke the charts.god i want a time machine.
Luv Luv Luv this song prob my fave one ever. Why don't they make music like this anymore with people who can actually sing love this man's voice it's fab x Time for a come back GO WEST x x
@Lynsey328 They've been back for about 10 years! They released an album in 2008 called 'futurenow' and this year (their 25th Anniversary) are in the process of releasing a 3 EP album called 3D - the first EP was released in April......They're also touring a lot in the UK this year and doing summer 80s festivals as well....busy boys this year indeed!
to bartendertodd theres many a great old song my kids are constantly amazed when i sing there new releases which are covers of songs from my era any way enjoy all music never close youre mind and ears to anything its all good emotions,.,.
Peter Cox and Richard Drummie have both got gorgeous bodies which they show off to good effect in this video in their white vests. Fantastic song! love it I still have the album, one of the best pop groups ever!
Just come back from Rhodes and they were playing this at the poolside!! I had totally forgotten how good Go West were, Cant get this song out of my head now!! Arrrrr memories
@Bluemeitz ' sound of like an Americanized version of Wham' ............yer ok and GnR sounded like a Englandized version of Led Zep, behave will you.
This band is entirely way too underrated. Pick up Crashes and Bangs. It's mostly remixes of their stuff up to about 1985. This song is on there but it's remixed.
I heard this song playing over the music system in the Safeway grocery store a few months back. I literally thought it was a new dance song. I wrote down the the chorus(don't look down), and youtube'd it, only to discover it's a song twenty five years old! Wow, this song really holds up . I listen to new club music all the time, and I thought this was a new release! I kid you not.
This song would kill at a club I bet. I love the chorus, and Go West makes it effortless to keep a song pumpin from start to finish. I miss the days when music and bands wrote with true emotion behind their lyrics. Where are the songs like "Don't Stop Believing" "Broken Wings" " Waiting for a Grl Like You"
HI Cheffy84, yes, this song WOULD absolutley fill the dance floor! As a matter of fact I just heard a new dance tune that sounds very similar to this, but was not able to get it's name or group performing.
omg i know exactly how you feel. this is one of those songs they play in the grocery story. sick as hell. i believe it sooooo much that these dudes dont get the respect they deserve. smh. i love their music
@Mowac I hear good music all the time in the grocery stores and I get down and boogie in the aisles too. Yes Most of them 1960's through 1980's. No rap is allowed to be played thank goodness. I hate rap/hip hop. Whoever created that and cell phones are a disgrace. I hate cell phone drivers who text and cause accidents.
I have that video on my mp3. Love it!. I won't listen to today's garbage. No way. No Stefani Germanotta for me (Lady Gaga). I agree with her politics but her as a person nah! Madonna the same way. I liked Madonna's style back in the 80's but she copied people and acted as though she originated the fashions. NOT!
@bartendertodd I remember this song back in August 1987 after I finished school. Music then was much better and MTV was better too. I miss those days. It makes me think of when I went to Hawaii because they played this song alot on the radio when I was there.
Hi James007magic......Go West having been back together touring and recording since 2001. In April 2010, they are embarking on their 25th Anniversary Tour in the UK, whilst Peter Cox is also currently doing lead vocals for Manfred Mann's Earth Band......busy boys indeed!
Probably neither. It's been recorded from a recording of a recording etc....
I just looked at Youtube Vid that is older than this (Substitute by Clout) that is older than this (1978) yet looks like it was shot yesterday. Probably done from an original tape.
I always thought that GoWest,Living In a Box,Steve Winwood,Prefab Sprout and specially Def Leppard were American but to my great surpise they're British , what happened to Great Britian's great talent ? why do we have to suffer X Factor, Big Brother kind of talentless wanna be promoting crap in the name of search for the talent ? 80s were simply the best, its such a shame i was just a todler when this song came out but listening to it now brings a tear in my eyes
peter cox and richard drummie, are so HOT!!! wish i could have married one of them! or both dont think that would have worked out, ahh dreams :) haha, amazing band, love them and the 80's!
The guy playing drums on this vid without question Tony Beard. MagpieTed is right about Graham Broad on the 1st album but he didn't do any of the Video or TV work with the band. Beard did 'The Tube' 85' then toured the first album, recorded the 2nd and then left for L.A.(Hall and Oates world tour) At that point Jimmy Copely took over for the 2nd album tour. 3 great British drummers. Beard was always my favourite though
fantastic 80's tune, reminds me of school trips and me and my mates trying to snog girls in our class on the back of the coach! 13 year old sex cases!
looks like it is Jimmy Copley on drums. Very fast shots of everybody though. His hair is lighter but I think it his him. He is also on Tears For Fears' live video in California
I havent heard this since I was 12 or 13. Unlike the gangsta rap I abandoned this kind of music for, this STILL sounds good to me even though I'm all grown up.
Okay, I'll say it - that lead singer is the most beautiful man - I don't care if it is 20 years later. Current husband is sweet, current husband is a darling love, but ooh ooh ooh if this man walked in my door... Where oh where could I have met that guy 20 years ago???
Late guitarist Alan Murphy was a brilliant talent who added something very unique to the band. This song appeared on both their first and second albums; this is the reworked 2nd album version.
Peter Cox's voice is in the same league as Daryl Hall's, and when these kids had Alan Murphy in the band - it was an extremely powerful, soulful combination - which contrasted beautifully against the computer backing tracks: sadly, they went a little too computer as time went by ... and the genius of Alan Murphy R.I.P.
somtehing that always strikes me about the guys in Go West was (and yea I know this is a video and they are "acting" maybe??) they seemed to be having a ball making these videos and singing their songs. If you are in a band and love your music and enjoy presenting it then man you have got it all !!!

I just looked at Youtube Vid that is older than this (Substitute by Clout) that is older than this (1978) yet looks like it was shot yesterday. Probably done from an original tape.

Awesome tune, I have a greatest hits cd of theirs and, well, what can I say. It's the greatest. I love "king of Wishful Thinking" too.

I always thought that GoWest,Living In a Box,Steve Winwood,Prefab Sprout and specially Def Leppard were American but to my great surpise they're British , what happened to Great Britian's great talent ? why do we have to suffer X Factor, Big Brother kind of talentless wanna be promoting crap in the name of search for the talent ? 80s were simply the best, its such a shame i was just a todler when this song came out but listening to it now brings a tear in my eyes

The guy playing drums on this vid without question Tony Beard. MagpieTed is right about Graham Broad on the 1st album but he didn't do any of the Video or TV work with the band. Beard did 'The Tube' 85' then toured the first album, recorded the 2nd and then left for L.A.(Hall and Oates world tour) At that point Jimmy Copely took over for the 2nd album tour. 3 great British drummers. Beard was always my favourite though

fantastic 80's tune, reminds me of school trips and me and my mates trying to snog girls in our class on the back of the coach! 13 year old sex cases!

Graham Broad played the drums on this track, and the rest of Go West's debut album.

I wanna know who's drumming here too.
2:18 middle eight is just one of those prime 80's rockin' moments.
You can NOT beat this for adrenaline pumping inspirational music. Nothing is as overblown and hi-nrg! :-) (even if this isn't really hi-nrg)

looks like it is Jimmy Copley on drums. Very fast shots of everybody though. His hair is lighter but I think it his him. He is also on Tears For Fears' live video in California

I havent heard this since I was 12 or 13. Unlike the gangsta rap I abandoned this kind of music for, this STILL sounds good to me even though I'm all grown up.

Okay, I'll say it - that lead singer is the most beautiful man - I don't care if it is 20 years later. Current husband is sweet, current husband is a darling love, but ooh ooh ooh if this man walked in my door... Where oh where could I have met that guy 20 years ago???

Late guitarist Alan Murphy was a brilliant talent who added something very unique to the band. This song appeared on both their first and second albums; this is the reworked 2nd album version.

Peter Cox's voice is in the same league as Daryl Hall's, and when these kids had Alan Murphy in the band - it was an extremely powerful, soulful combination - which contrasted beautifully against the computer backing tracks: sadly, they went a little too computer as time went by ... and the genius of Alan Murphy R.I.P.
Still, VERY talented guys.
