  • Reminds me of an old girlfriend. Can you say coo coo bird!

  • ASIA, like many bands of the '70's and '80's is the best quality and style of music ever. Thus, it is copied over and over and most recently by tween age 'artists'(what a joke!). More importantly, if you are posting a comment pro or con, lay off the drugs and booze and proof read your response whether positive or negative, can't believe how dumb most of you sound....would like our kids to think we went to school and did ok???.....make our generation proud will ya'?

  • Asia should have kept it at one album. This song ain't bad thoug!

  • tippy, never thought i would hear that from someone your age! yes, the eighties rocked! full of imagination, magical movies, and special people...

  • used to love this song, still have the record. ah the 80s...:)

  • @elsavonrothstein shut up

  • you older folks are lucky im 15 so imagine the type of fuckin era i have to grow up in id do anything to be able to grow up in the 80s

  • it was an awesome time tippy...you had to be there. The best decade for music. In my opinion

  • これはくるね

  • 最高

  • I think this was more of a rip off of the movie titled "SHE" not Indian Jones.

  • dont cry now that i've fondled you....

  • theme song of the catholic church?

  • ああ、なつかしい

  • I couldn't stand ASIA growing up in the 80's but now that I'm old...They are great! What was I thinking. ELP as well.

  • You know, I like Asia and this song..but even for the year this video came out...it's really hard to watch...really.....bad

  • yeah, love them, but this video doesn't show their great acting chops, huh? I think they could have done better if they were given better...

  • I honestly think having the song play to a turned-on lava lamp would have been less campy than this video

  • you gotta admit though, Geoff Downes looks like he's enjoying the acting and I think he did a swell job...honestly, they could have had a much better video, but that woman has my eyes... it was wierd to see that (except my right eye looks like the pupil leaked out a little underneath)!

  • Except for the girl

  • I do too Gal. I may havewposted to much lately. Why the hate I love the 60's 70's and 80's my ears hurt so much with 00 gens. I made my peace thank you.

  • I think that their videos from the previous album (Heat of the Moment and Only Time Will Tell) far more intelligent than this expensive Indiana Jones ripoff. Anyway, the song rocks!

  • this song kicks major ass!

    LOVE IT!

  • Super nice song!

  • geoff downes really looked like his own clichee during the 80s

  • cancion del 83, tambien la oi en radios limenas

  • Asia is still incredible live...this song is awesome!

  • What a great band and song.. Thanks for posting long live the 80's...

  • I love these videos with a story and Ending!

    And of course, the great music of Asia.

    Thanks for posting, lexusrxyodachewie.

    Rolón.

  • ASIA brings back great memories of the 80's, when I arrived at the fleet, in the U.S. Navy.

  • whatever you say, Iceman

  • I had the Asia, Asia tape in my walkman and wore it OUT! Then MTV hits and I was a happy camper because they were on ALL the time...

  • I start to listen to Asia when i was 4 years old!! this remember my dead father. Thanks for putting this clip in the site man!

  • My god i remember this song and, i hear it now and here influences of Marillion ( intro ) Flock of Seagulls and some of the vocals are REO Speedwagonish.

  • Funny how all the 70's prog rockers went power pop in the 80's

  • it's disgraceful isn't it and they weren't even good at it either.

  • Though this vid doesn't matched the music in a great way, but i still thrilled of this supergroup as with this stuff don't cry they can bring a lot of the spirit of the 80's come to life!! Please try to displace the vid with the bring me to life lineage2 vid. It so much more match this great music!!!

  • Comment removed

  • God, I remember when this video 1st came out! There was hype leading up to it on MTV...."Don't touch that dial, coming up, the debut of ASIA's new video!!!, bla bla bla" I like that song & the video is cool because it has a Indian Jones/Romancing the Stone thing going on in it. Although I wonder if this guy is stalking the girl, seeing as how she kicks him off a cliff in the end, hahaha! Take a hint buddy. She don't want you!

  • Absolutely, bloody hilarious!

  • i just heard this song today at waterfest, i got mitch's guitar pick =D

  • ps it doesn't mean i don't like the song because i do..

  • this video makes absolutely no sense....its just a bunch of images that have nothing to do with the lyrics wtf???

  • sanaconda23, if you look at the original album covers you will find that Asia was very much into the pyramids and mythical realm. i agree the pics do not match the words.  remember videos were something new back then.

  • Does it really mean that much to you what happens in the video?

  • since i do a lot of crying this song really hits home.

  • WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

  • dlucas7787-you got that right.WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

  • I like your black pres post

  • dlucas could you put that into a sentence. does it have anything to do w/me being elusive?

  • Asia is always underrated..John Wetton was a great voice..Geoff Downes an amazing writer/musician.I like their less known stuff.."in my own time" is amazing

  • May ♥love♥ be with you,

  • Man I use to love this song when I was little.

  • I want a signed 8 X 10 glossy of the chick in this vid

  • my dad used to sing this to me when i was a baby and when i cried

  • makes me think of my honey my love ally ohh ally my love

  • I did the same with my Night Ranger tape, same year. I think the album name was "Still Rock in America", or at least that was one of the tracks. I forgot all about this Asia song until I saw it on VH1 Classic, and then, after not hearing it for 24 years, I could sing along with it. Song will stick in your head big time if you don't watch out. Cheers.

  • Love Asia; Wore the tape out on my old walkman in 82-HAHA!

  • all their songs would get u movin !!

  • Wetton/Downes has to be one of the most underrated songwriting duos in rock history.

  • I just got back from the show tonight at the Gibson in California. They played the Buggles AND King Crimson. They were great. So was YES. Awesome show.

  • Totally tried to see them last Thursday.

    Asia was wicked, loved King Crimson, but Yes got rained out. :(

  • hah my name is asia :)

  • This is a pop song, albeit a good one. Would not have been out of place in the 70's.

  • Asia created a new genre of music....Progressive Pop. They were the first! Don't miss them in concert this summer with Yes in the states. Asia reunited in 2006 and are better now than ever! Don't miss them!

  • To me, this will always be known as the Honey-Lamb Song.

  • Bubble gum pop...but of the highest order (Steve Howe, Carl Palmer!)

  • This is pop rock - not gram rock or hair metal - is there a debate?

  • Such a rocking song!! Just rocking it hard...ASIA!! They made Mtv.

    That video was beyond anything before. I personally wish the trend was to get back to 80s style videos...be cool.

    Freakin ASIA...thats how you rock it. WITH REAL INSTURMENTS!!

  • Yea, the late 80's glam rock was much worse, but the late 70's so called "arena" rock was only marginally better. I'd rather listen to the late 70's stuff though.

    Either way, I still stand by my argument about early 80's music. For better or worse, it's the same general style that carried over to today.

  • Look how drastic music changed from the mid 70's to early 80's. Not sure music changed that drastically from the early eighties to what we have now. There were small changes such as grunge, hair bands, rap, etc... but none of them had that same long lasting impact. I'd call those "small" changes nothing more than fads.

  • Looks like Indiana Johns

  • Not gonna list the music from the early eighties (1979 to 1984) that was good, but I can surely say history will prove you wrong when it comes to remembering music from this generation.

    It was creative. It broke the mold of typical arena rock like Foreigner, Boston, Journey, but in a good way.

    Many pop acts today look back on the early 80's (even 60's) while skipping most of those late 70's acts as inspiration.

    Not saying the late 70's were bad. I'm simply saying rock became uncreative

  • and the acts you listed were the overly hyped pop crap. You can list that type of stuff from every generation of music. You failed to list the overall variety of solid music acts.

    Trust me, they play this 80's weekend thing on one of the radio stations in south florida. Almost everywhere I go, people have this station playing.

    I can almost guarantee the oldie stations will pick up more of the early 80's acts than the late 70's rock in the next 10 years.

  • Back in the day, MTV's policy required that songs had to be good but the videos had to suck. So groups had to do stupid videos in order to get air time.

  • Actually you are probably right about it being more 1984 than 1983. You obviously seem to have good taste in music for the most part so list a few albums and groups from that period that you would recommend.

  • Excellent song!

  • I guess it depends on what you like but I am a fan of rock and roll and melody and 1983-4 was not good overall. Unless of course you like Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Footloose, Irene Cara, Tina Turner, etc. which I do not. As I said before, there was some great stuff out but Mtv, Radio, SOlid Gold and American Bandstand was totally wall to wall with that mid 80s pop mush that I do not prefer. By 1984 or 1985 the shit storm of bad music had just about completely took over.

  • what a fucking great song

  • That's the damn truth, pal!

  • this band is cool i like geofry downes out of all of them...

    this vbid reminds me of raiders of the lost art meets return of the jedi meets asia...you would never see that sort of video these days...

    d

  • There was alot of bad stuff that was getting big at this time and this and a few others were lights in the darkness. Asia, Def Leppard, Tony Carey, and Men At Work was some of the better stuff at this time. Mtv played this one alot I remember.

  • Right there wit u xwing...back when MTV was MTV...With VJs...Love the 80s

  • I love Asia, I still have the rummage sale 1982 casette with their 1st songs..LOVE IT

  • this is prog at its best with vocals. I dont consider it pop. Nobody makes classic music  like this in 2009.

  • Barely remember this. But ya, those days when MTV was actually MTV and not Soap opera garbage TV were pretty sweet.

  • FREAKIN SWEET BEGINNING

  • muito bom o som dessa banda de rock progressivo de boa qualidade sonora asia e uma aula de rock progressivo

  • Me encanta Asia, gran tema, muy nostálgico.

  • Asia's best album, and my favorite song by them. Videos like this remind me of how good MTV used to be before it went to crap.

  • No doubt! I was thinking the same thing.

  • Esta agrupación fue una de las mejores de los años 80. Grandiosos sonidos.

  • Prog Rock??

  • Prog rockers writing pop.....Wetton's got one heck of a voice still....

  • Prog, 1983 style!!!!

  • great video, still not sure what it means

  • It's a very nice song. I remember several years ago when I was younger.....

  • I can visualize a tankfull of manatees writing their songs.

  • Another memory of High School. I think of Sheri L, K. LVRHS, Class of 1987!! 22 years later,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • This is one of my three favorite albums, and the first rock concert that i went to see, memories

  • ああ、わが青春の日々よ

  • asia is soooo awesome

  • i luv the eighties

  • yep,i saw em in buxton last night,tremendous.

  • Saw them LIVE on Satruday. Original line-up. AMAZING!

  • hahaha my name is asia

  • Alpha is so underrated album...

  • aplha is such an underrated album/alpha is so underrated

  • remember we were young-so wild-so free-best time in life-don´t cry!

  • YES!This song i great:)

  • this video was played constantly on Mtv back in the 80's.

  • all time fav...

  • Simple the best group of the 80's

  • this should be played more on the radio, instead of the same 20 songs they play from this GREAT era in music!

  • God I remember this.Christ Am I gettin old?? LOL!!!

  • i know how you feel ! long live the 80's tho, they rocked !

  • Remember "Raiders of The Lost Ark" was a big hit when this was made!!

  • Who cares about the video... They were Radio Stars (and still are)... listen to the music and lyrics, that's what is all about...

  • I still don't understand people who constantly knock a great song. Just lay back & enjoy!!!

  • heck yeah ! thats what im saying !!! peace !

  • AWESOME instumentals, vocals & lyrics ! they should attach the music/vocals from the song then to a new video now

  • This was state of the art then. Awesome song.

  • the music videos are alot better in this area of the 1980's alot of them didnit have big budgets to do there video or alot time to make the video.sure some of the 80's may not perfect.micheal jackson had a huge budget to do thriller.wont some of the todays artist spend 600 or 650 on a music video and see what it looks like.

  • Great fuckin song... summer of '83... 15..

  • This was my all time favorite video back when I was a kid.

  • Mine too

  • I can think of about 10,000 other videos that were worse than this one dude. I actually liked this video back in the 80's, which is why I looked it up to watch it in the first place. I certainly don't look videos up on youtube to listen to the "awsome sound quality."

  • wow everybody has to take the word gay offensively...jeez who cares gay is jus sayin he doesnt like it stop ur bitching

  • Avantasian007 Your Just I was born in 69, WHILE YOU WHERE IN YOUR DIAPERS i WAS PARTYING GETTING LAID AND DRIVING...

  • "Gay" is the wrong word to use:(

  • welcome to the 80's.

  • This video rocks in every single way. Yes, it is screaming: I was made in eighties !!! But, who cares? Asia rulezzz

  • supergroup!

  • i love this song! it's perfect 80s (:

  • this was/is a great band/song/music ! the video may not be all that cool but it doesnt matter cause the song jams ! besides, todays music is gay & it sucks !

  • John Wetton's vocals were lush, powerful and melodically gorgeous. Downes keyboards were magical as well. Beyond that Howe was fine and Carl Palmer was fine but not special. Downes and Wetton made Asia work.

  • Most of the early 80s stuff do look a bit dated, but the videos were cool because it featured the members of the group.

  • looks like an average early 80s video, great song, most videos were cheesy back then.

  • i would have loved to been in a band in the 80s and made a dumb ass video. would have been a rite laugh. i would have been shit faced drunk. i think you would need to b

  • the video was just bloody awfull, but the song has stood up rather well over time.

  • The production hasn't stood up well over time, but this band's musical arrangements remain beautifully interesting to me. And sigh...this video and song just remind me of the preciousness of what is lost in music today. I remember this used to be on MTV all the time!

  • i am only 21 years old... but i still like the 80's and 90's songs.. they are way cooll!!!!

  • I checked my collection and didn't have this one so I just downloaded it. Back to 80's YAY!

  • classic

  • Hey youtubers, if you liked this vid check out Torture-Jacksons and Union of the Snake-Duran Duran. Also 80s, similair vid themes.

  • I remember this when growing up.

    MTV was certainly different back then.

    and I wonder if they were inspired by the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark when they were making this video?

  • Ya, me too. I thought this was Indiana Jones. I cried when he he died.

  • Why can't the bands of today listen to songs like this and try their best to compete!!

  • Problem is, the bands of today don't try to compete with songs like this cause they know damn well they don't hold a fucking candle to this kind of good music! So instead, they do crappy remakes of these classic songs, thinking people will actually give a shit and go out & buy their albums! The only thing they do successfully is prove how much they actually SUCK! Fall Out Boy doing a lousy remake of Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' is a good example of this!

  • VERY MELODIC! BRILLIANT!

  • To me.........this song WAS the 80's.

  • I don't know about Asia being a prog rock group but this song is pure pop.

  • they even popped up steve's slide guitar ! awesome song tho

  • omg Geoff Downes with a headband??? LOL :-P

  • Yes nut here and a Sophomore in high school in South Jersey in Spring of '83....... The Boys kicked ass.....

  • Amazing song! Geoff Downes also played with the Buggles. Video Killed the Radio Star.

  • UNA DE SUS MEJORES

  • i'm 34 & have listened to asia since i was 8!

    great prog supergroup!

    even better live!

    UK prog lives on!!!!

  • I am 43 years old so this song brings back many memories of the 80's for me. Great song!

  • But still, there's a few of us who keep the spirit of that time :)))!!!

  • ive got this song on the vinyl album alpha

  • x( everything for live in 80's...

    Great epoch, I think that live in the classic musicals

    Viva Asia!

    [my English is bad, sorry]

  • Is this just a rip off of indiana jones trilogy? Really! I mean Really! how does "Dont Cry" relate to indiana jones?

  • this is one of those heart wrenching songs you remeber from when you were a kid in the 80s, man i miss my members only jacket cruising in our trans ams and fieros, ah the women were so hot, not tattoed muffin tops that waddle down the street like today, they may have been party girls for the most part but deep down they were good girls and made great wives and mothers, thank God I married a 80s girl, and she can still pack a pair of levis

  • You forgot the "parachute pants" and "Mocasion boots." I'm glad i grew up when I did and not in todays times....

  • no i didnt forget them but hated to wear the pants, too damn slick lol

  • This was and is a memory inducer

  • I was born at the end of 80's, and I regret cuz i wasn't born 15 years earlier :( ... I missed all the god stuff before they disappeared. Now there's only crap, and bigger crap:(

  • I know how you feel deusns. I wish I lived through the 70's and 80's. I was born in 91 so like you missed out on the cool stuff.

    Look at the crap we have now... emo, emo more emo... rap, hip hop and more hip hop.

  • Are you seriously saying in the 80's there was no hip-hop--or that it's a totally new thing at the moment?

  • i was born in 66 and you guys are right , to grow up in the late seventies early eighties was pretty special

  • This band holds so many memories for me, from my first g/f Lisa to my solo trip to England at 16 to see my best friend who moved out there. Man how I miss the 80's they semed so much simpler then.

    Thanks for the post!

  • To me...this song WAS the 80's!

  • Amen! This was one of the songs that symbolized the glory days of MTV, which sadly has now transformed into a festering gob of reality TV bullshit!

    This is some KICK ASS audio btw! I'm watching this clip and listening to it in surround sound right now! I'm in 80's heaven again!!! :) THANK YOU, lexus!

  • I LOVED MTV in the 80's. The 80's to me was rock's attempt to over come it's hangover from disco. There were so many great bands back then and so many different styles. Now all there is is reality crap on MTV...a bunch of disfunctional idiots.

  • I like that i can come here to catch the videos for Asia's songs, plus alot of the other bands from the 80's. Also would love to know who the blonde is in this video WOW!!!

  • I bet she doesn't look like that anymore though......
