I wouldn't say music is shit today, just bland and nondescript...My Parents were shocked or kind of fascinated by the music I listened to in the late 70's early 80's..Now I'm their age they were then and I can honestly when I hear today's music I'm just mehh!
This song just puts me right into that time I was dating this cute blonde. She had that typical 80s look to her and which I could just stare at her all day :)
I used to listen to this song over and over on a k7 back in 86,87,88,89,90 now I still blast my car stereo with a cd or Zune I love this song will always love it! I remember Loula my love my woman,Holl Holl and Q4....
@scarletboy9 Say that but music of today is shit period & that's a fact! Don't blame Simon Cowell maybe Simon is good after all at least it's music, if we have to put up with the likes of Eminem, the wanna be 80's rapper & all other shit copied from the 80's, all i can say is come on Simon bring back the music coz today's stuff is shit & has all be done before.
I loved Allison so much back in the day. It really is a shame that she didn't go futher because of her suburban-houswife looks. Unfortunately, it was the beginning of the MTV era and she just didn't fit the mold, even though she had the chops.
@two9ertango nothing to do with her looks, went to see her this year and I could not have asked for more, she was amazing!!!!! nothing to do with cover and book! get a grip of yourself, when the light is out what do you hear!!!!!
@shmeegoe I don't believe I made my point clearly: Yes, she IS an amazing talent, should have been a star, but because she didn't fit the cookie-cutter look of that time, the record companies didn't know how to promote her. Just look at this video again - she is kept in the background or in shadows as much as possible. Not that I am comparing Carnie Wilson's talent to Allison's, but the same thing was done to Carnie: dim lighting and shoved to the back of the other two in every video.
If these two both got together again doing the new romantics, the youth of today wouldn't know what hit them & Yazoo would be number 1 in a week, today's music sucks the youth of today need to listen to the 80's & forget today's crap.
LadyDoo, It was tough for me to forget her and it took a while, but I made it. I have to admit we did have some good ole times and the music is something I love to listen to cause it just puts me in this trance and it nice:)
DIAMOND.........I remember my first girl as well. She had the perfect new wave/80s chick look. Blonde, blue eyes, cute and had that short hair on the sides and long on top if you know what I mean. The 80s were great times and I will never forget the times and the songs that came out with it.
@jakclutch I had my first "serious" boyfriend in 1984 (we where both in the mature age of 14 ;.-)) and he "learned" me to listen to all this good music. Depeche Mode became my favorites, but I loved it all. And him *sigh*. But he broke up with me and I felt heartbroken for a while and said to every one that I never would fall in love again. Yeah, sure I kept that promise!
When this song was in the charts I was with my first serious girlfriend, 1983 I think. What memories. But we just drifted apart and shit, how Ive regreted it ever since. What a mug I was. If only............................................
@DIAMONDGEEZER64 dont beat yourself up too bad im sure it was all for the best, after all think of all the people you would never have met had you have stayed with her since 1983.
My sister is a ringer for Alison Moyet facially but if whenever we tell her that she gets the hump thinking we mean shes a fat bitch!!! - Not that Alison is a bloater these days....
@jpmcarmo : yeah total vince clarke. And that's partly why anything post vince that depeche did I sort of cringe at.... but they had some decent stuff after vince.
This was, and up until the present time will be one of my favorite songs, even though its from the 80's. When i heard this song over the radio station/s, it stuck with me, and i love the melodies. For me, i find it awesome...
Vince Clarke is a legend. I agree, the early 80s was so original. Fresh electro sounds, new wave. If this track was produced today it couldn't hold the same originality as back then. The early 80s, good times for fresh new music.
Vince Clarke invented a new kind of music, first with Depèche Mode and then with Yazoo, after 2 albums Yazoo stopped, but DM kept it going, Erasure found another different kind of pop, but looking back... no one have ever been able to make the same kind of music as DM or Yazoo... think that is why they have been in a league of their own all the time :))
Almost 30 years on and still a cracking number. Great counter melody, had to get the original vinyl out of the attic and play it - miles better than on CD
For ever ´80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Esos años fueron únicos y nunca más volverán. Pero queda esa música que el tiempo no podrá borrar de nuestra juventud
Lol!! Me too!! Back in the 80s a friend of mine and I had a huge fight about this, and of course he won. It blew me away that the singer is female (at first). I thought it was a voice like Fergal Sharkey's: very ambiguous. But it's a great song, and I love Moyet.
Are we taking the piss out of Dave and Annie at the beginning - Vince with the Lennon glasses and Ali with red hair ... I could be wrong - just a thought!
being gay does not give you exclusivity on having feelings, i think you need to understand that someone's sexual preferences are not something that should EVER matter
