@ThePioneer66 I remember seeing it in 1988, as it was a minor hit in Australia but didn't video-tape it at the time. Since the record company doesn't have the courtesy to reply, your best bet would be to try and find out who directed it and see if he will put it up instead. Good luck with your search - I'm sure everyone on here wants to see the clip. :)
@Blacksquareable they're still going today and are directors for a UK based organisation Earth Love Fund, which supports British artists and musicians whose focus is concern for ecological matters. :)
I remember seeing the video to this years ago. It was very colourful. The images of the animals were colour washed,if you will. The colours swirl around fading one animal into another.I had never seen anything like it. It would all still be relevant, and more poignant than ever these days with all the interest in environmental issues.Greenpeace or such like, should do a remix with Sting or someone for a fundraiser.This video would blows their minds.Must see the video though! LETS GO!
@lefthandedjim I've written to A&M asking them to release the video onto YouTube, and they haven't responded to me. Also tried to contact Vic Coppersmith-Heaven and Kenny Young as well, but no luck. :-(
I've started a group on Facebook called The Kenny Young Appreciation Society dedicated to his music, in which this song gets a bit of a look-in. Check it out when you can.
We have done a cover of this song on our channel using a guitar, bass and two girl singers. Have a listen and feel free to leave comments if you wish.
Hey 99thDimension I would be really rapt if you could find the original version of this video and post it onto YouTube. I've written to Vic Coppersmith-Heaven and A&M Records to see if they will but so far not received a reply from them.
Coool. Nice to know that someone managed to get a song by these guys on here. I love them. My brother and I want to start doing covers of them, could you get the song "Time" on here by any chance?
What a suprise to find this song here :) Great stills too! I have partially the video to this song together with an interview recorded about 20 years ago in the UK. I'll dig it out as it's worth the post. Been into these guys ever since! Listning to a montage of their stuff too as I'm writing this! Thanks for your post and thank you Gentlemen Without Weapons for such a great project you undertook, never forgotten! Let Eons Roll By :)
99 you I praise you for your care, compassion common sense and apparent overwhelming sense of humanity. A fine Canadian and human being you are. I feel grateful for having somehow crossed your path. A hyprocrite I am indeed I want to live in tent and live on the land but want a place to plug in this damn computer. What should one do?
and they opened the door were there were all fat and happy had the same long spoons tied to there hands and the man said to god very confused i dont understand and god smiled at him and said simply that man worrys about himself before any one else as you can see if we love one another aned dont worry about just our self we all can be fat and happy and be at peace with eachother we will be in heaven
let you goverments control more than they do now and it will happen to a point the weapons the love thats up to man to over come his selfishness, A man ask god what was th difference between heaven and hell so god showed him two doors and says behind this door is hell and heard all of this moaning opens the door and men had bowls of food heaping but had realy long spoons tied to there hand they were starving he said to god thats horriable and then god showed him door 2 were he heard laughing
They played this song to death for a few glorious months and then I never heard it again. I thought I was the only person who liked this song!!!
