Yeah. Great stuff. Back within the decade between 1976 to 1985 that had the greatest music melodies in human history. It seems like so much music today is made with the 'wish' that it could be as close to the human spirit as music like this. When I hear a good song today, I tend to hear elements of melody from songs in that decade repeated in bits and pieces.
my two friends and I were 19-22 when this came out and we'd blast it every night from our alphabet city apartment balcony thinking we were so lucky and happy to be alive!
I have always loved this song . Much of my life has been spent alone by choice and so I watch everyone else . Mostly its very entertaining but sometimes loanly . I was born in 1974 so I have seen a lot of things come and go and heard a lot of songs I come back to this from time to time for no reason known to me .
The vid makes me smirk now, but back then I was in love for the first time. MTV had just started, and was playing virtually only three vids: Motels, A Flock of Seagulls' "And I Ran", and Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy". He had told me that we were only a summer thing, so I cried to the Motels for a month. Doesn't matter now (we've been married 25 years), but at the time, the only things that mattered were his eyes, and the Motels' line, "We lied about each other's strengths..." That's staying power.
I have to say that I LOVE the comments posted about this song. Great song, great singer, no doubt. I am 43 now and I loved the 80's music because it was so EVERYTHING. Everything was allowed, pop music, love ballads, hairbands/metalbands, the Springsteen type of middle America, the English Pop Music Scene, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Solo Artists (from the 70's groups they were in ) like Robert Plant, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Lionel Ritchie, etc. etc. The 80's ruled.
inudude15, you said it very well. There is indeed a "haunting elegance" to this song. Your words are carefully and wisely chosen. I respect your intelligent comment. You said "somber", I would have even added the actual word "sad" to my comments. Thankyou.
There's such a somber beauty to this song, even if you don't like eighties music, or rock, etc you have to like this song. It's almost haunting in its elegance.
I remember when this was on the radio a lot in '82-'83, and it stood apart from other songs because it was just so fucking...classy. I didn't see this video at the time, but it captures the mood of the song perfectly.
In 1982, THIS tune was always the most haunting to me. That synth work puts a chill in me, even to this very day. They don't make them like this anymore, which is a pity. Thanks for the memories, guys!
lol hey man i remember the last half of the sixties,seventenies,eighties AND the ninties...im antique...lol...but this song is true too...yeeahhh eighties was my favorite decade...
no doubt one of the great woman vocalist , belongs on anyones top ten list she has left her fingerprints and has provivedwho enjoy her musdic owe martha huge thank
one of my fave female vocalist this and dont tell me the time music i treasure as much as lennon mcartney jagger richards etc thank you martha
@Ribelin2000 REALLY?!!! Thank GOD! I am a musician and two of my buddies who are musicina's said that she left the band for cancer treatment and then died. Why have I not heard her on the radio anymore? I will look her up!! God! What a woman!!!
OK...I know that I am going to sound dumb, and whatever it is, I love this song, but what EXACTLY is the lyric: Is it; "only the lonely get blamed" or "only the lonely can play..." or "or-and I don't really think it is this-"only the lonely can pay..." Sorry to be such a doof, but I really want to know!
@MrChiliman2 They were magical times...But as lots have said..We had less but more so to speak..Take every advantage of what you have now and years later you will look back and think "man those times were good"..
I was a Dj in the late 70s early 80s...Very heady days...Music , clothes ..the world changining as it does...Live each day as the best...
The 80's was a magical time not much different from today except that people had better music and actually went to see their friends instead of posting on their facebook.
@MrChiliman2 Don't be jealous because of the music. Be jealous because we actually had fun. There weren't as many fences, malls, laws. We actually did things. We didn't have internet and youtube so we partied hard and had fights and burned things, and blew things up. And people were healthier, not as fat and not as lazy. Ufortunately, everyone got old, except me. They all had kids, and "grew up". Twats.
It was awesome being a teen in the 80's. We had the best movies, movies, everything. Times were just different in general with the way folks were etc. Lot simpler back then.
I know that my favorite music is not anybody else's favorite music but we all have a commonality in our musical tastes, that's why music clubs/bars are so popular. but what about the nostalgic music of not new, of not popular, of Avant-garde, or pushing the norm. We need to make a collection of shared favorites that we can collectively add to and expect responses to to make a better utopian society. Hey that reminds me of has anybody heard of Todd Rungren's Utopia?
I could see Gwen Stefani remaking this song but noone could ever duplicate this original I love the Motels and always will. Martha Davis was a great vocalist. Big up 80's.
This song remInds me of my sister! First time i heard it she sang it! Shes a singer, mostly sings jon bon jovi but she rocked when she sang this! lOVE THIS SONG!
@TheFallToRise We didn't think so back then and couldn't wait for the 90's to see what the future held. And then it went to hell quickly. So yes! It was more than a privilege... it was an honor to come from the MTV video age. Movies like Back To The Future didn't hurt either.
Heard this on the radio last night...and forgot who sang it!...Was killing me finding it, but finally "Google" helped me out!.....LOL...Thanks for the Vid!
I believe the word is "Sultry". Martha was such a gorgeous woman, her voice and her looks harken back to a time when ladies had class and dignity. She is breathtaking in this video.

This song is awesome I remember watching my brother playing pop warner football back in the day Burbank Vikings he was a starter and a hard hitter I never saw him on the bench only he was injured and that was rarley!
I've learned through time that it is not so much the sound of this song as it is the mood of it that moves my soul and makes me love it so much. I could sit in the most crowded room in the world and be blissfully happily playing this over and over in my mind in the corner lonely by myself. I think we've forgotten the beauty of being alone for a moment. Love is such a lonely game in the end anyway, nobody hates admitting losing is all.
Previous to "Grand Theft Auto" Vive City", I knew this song when a buddy and myself snuck into an AMC theater, and this tune was played. Excellent tune; really sticks to the gut.
The Saxophone solo reminds me of Sade who I saw in concert recently in Seattle. Love the sax in music...it adds a touch of class! A shout out to all the single ladies out there! Only the Lonely can play : (
Summer, 1982... I was 24 yrs old and had been half-way around the world (Europe), and always thought i'd see the other half someday...but 30 years later I ain't been outside Texas....but i still got this song.
@rowdymax1 this really struck me as I read it.... amazing how music always stays in the same place in your heart no matter how many years have passed? I bet you'll get to see the other half of the world :)
@vernavoo I meant "Vice City" not "Vive City". I agree that certain music is timeless; some songs remind you of people, some others remind you of moments.
I've loved this song since it first came out. The video is really nice too. And I love her hat! I just miss good music like this. The 80's was the last decade of good music all generations could listen to and enjoy together. Good memories.
@bearmassaro I totally agree with you. This was probably the greatest summer of my life and this song just added to it. It was a song that I waited up to hear. I was only 13 and had no idea of romance, but it still moved me.The other one was hearts, but I can't recall the guy's name now. Terrible video, but again a message, Hearts can change, etc.
@CBBCrazyBublegumBoom To be honest, there's something unstable with my mind. I use the internet to vent rage at various moments of my life. I can't even recall what I said to you, but I'm sure it was as angry and bizarre as my other messages.
Why does this matter? I can't even say I feel anything right now. I'm not even aware of where my life is going, but people online will pay attention to my comments. I'm sorry.
@Pharenheitz It's difficult being honest with one's own mental capacity; hope things improve for you, since no one should live life in constant unhappy and terminal positions.
@XfuckyouX24:: NICE!!! That is Awesome. I am 43 year old Mother of 3 & I like a lot of my daughter's hip hop music, & Vise Versa...They like songs from back when I was a teenager...Back in the 80's..Seems like yesterday. LOL
@XfuckyouX24 This song is timeless!!!! I was only 14 when this song came out...LOL....younger maybe. Boy those were great times. I hope your teen years are as much fun as those.........
@drewwilson1888 Check out Top Gun's Take my Breath away video; that's another classic from my teens years that I will never forget, and they wore it out, all day all night...LOL
@drewwilson1888 yeah, with her two toned hair...way, way, way , way way before her time. Now everyone is doing it, but, back then, she was the only one, then noone for years....at least not mainstream like....
@SirBrackalot Terri Nunn got that hot two-tone hair look from Blondie's Deborah Harry , who sports it on the covers of both the Plastic Letters and Parallel Lines albums (1978). Just saying.
@crapple009 I like Terri Nunn though, even if her early 1980's hair color was inspired by Deborah Harry:-). She loses originality points, but little else.
I was 14 years (1982) when I heard this song and brings back many memories of a girl I fell in love in panama in a U.S. air base, I remember till now

@rowdymax1 this really struck me as I read it.... amazing how music always stays in the same place in your heart no matter how many years have passed? I bet you'll get to see the other half of the world :)

@vernavoo I meant "Vice City" not "Vive City". I agree that certain music is timeless; some songs remind you of people, some others remind you of moments.

I've loved this song since it first came out. The video is really nice too. And I love her hat! I just miss good music like this. The 80's was the last decade of good music all generations could listen to and enjoy together. Good memories.

@bearmassaro I totally agree with you. This was probably the greatest summer of my life and this song just added to it. It was a song that I waited up to hear. I was only 13 and had no idea of romance, but it still moved me.The other one was hearts, but I can't recall the guy's name now. Terrible video, but again a message, Hearts can change, etc.

@vaboxrboy "Hearts" was by Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane fame. Hope that helps. :)

Love 80's music..nothing compares to it. Music for the last 15 yrs or so doesn't have the same kind of soul, heart or meaning. Kinda sad...

@CBBCrazyBublegumBoom To be honest, there's something unstable with my mind. I use the internet to vent rage at various moments of my life. I can't even recall what I said to you, but I'm sure it was as angry and bizarre as my other messages.
Why does this matter? I can't even say I feel anything right now. I'm not even aware of where my life is going, but people online will pay attention to my comments. I'm sorry.

@Pharenheitz It's difficult being honest with one's own mental capacity; hope things improve for you, since no one should live life in constant unhappy and terminal positions.

@SirBrackalot Terri Nunn got that hot two-tone hair look from Blondie's Deborah Harry , who sports it on the covers of both the Plastic Letters and Parallel Lines albums (1978). Just saying.

@crapple009 I like Terri Nunn though, even if her early 1980's hair color was inspired by Deborah Harry:-). She loses originality points, but little else.
