Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now

[iBernard]

I'll NEVER forget the Gay Parade in NYC in 1985 (ok, was it 1988?) when there was a moment of silence, a sea of SILENCE = DEATH signs and as the moment of silence ended, they started to play this song. I just remembered I cried and cried and cried (and I was alone in a vast throng of mostly gay guys) and I photographed the speakers from which the song was emanating. I called Pete & Lucille (from a pay phone!) and just had to say hi to them. Yeah, I cried. And I really miss Peter the First.

[dezziibabii1223]

This song gives me such a great feeling :)

[Rentaghost76]

Sodomites are on a one way ticket to hell, sorry if that upsets you godless libtards. Great song though.

[Dannysam37]

did someone say Tom Bailey was gay?

[timmhg]

Who are those pandas?

[lordofthemanor67]

Classic song, but why spoil it by showing a couple of fudge packers.

[Blakeleeify]

@lordofthemanor67 "Fudge packers" as you say, are people too Just so you know the people who perform this song are gay so before you say anymore ignorant comments ask yourself if you're just being ignorant unless you like to be viewed as a ignorant piece...then be my guest.

[lordofthemanor67]

@Blakeleeify That still doesn't condone shoving your cock up someones arse.

[yuionanodesuyo]

@Blakeleeify nope... no

[Mooeybubs]

@Blakeleeify Tom Bailey isn't gay, nothing against gay people but please keep your facts STRAIGHT...

[amedadamm]

A classic being crushed by punks thinking they are so cool

[FrizzlDizzlJellyBaby]

im only here because of my parents lol

[nmelectronics1]

This is one of my favourites of all time. So, so brilliant.

[ronofontario]

It's been a long time since i heard this song... I'm showing my age...

[chettmansberger]

@HighFlyingRaven

Sea kelp. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant to type, "seek help". Anger mangement counceling is free for those who can't afford it. Just Google it in your area. Soon, please, for your benefit.

[Mitsi2002]

Is there no more love....

[CMLAFLAMME]

Run away! Nice work guys, love this song.

[kneeyou]

[TheBambibasher]

This song is part of the soundtrack of my life! I'd forgotten the artist so its been lost to me for some time now. I won't be forgetting this great song again! This song made my incredible wife fall in love with me. Sorry for getting gooy but its sincere. Thanks for sharing and helping me to find it again. Gonna make her love me all over again....LOL TY!!!!!

[NrichD]

@HighFlyingRaven lol yep,

[chettmansberger]

Is there anyone out there who agrees that Raven would benefit from some Anger Management Counseling? That is one seriously angry, hurting boy out there. Thumbs up if you agree.

[chettmansberger]

@HighFlyingRaven

Dear Raven,

Perhaps it's simply the carefully chosen and very well edited video that it is, showing loving affection between two human beings. Or... perhaps it's just that you're not capable of comprehending that concept, and should crawl back into your ice cube try in the freezer, from where you must have been born.

[Sharoney]

45 people don't like hugs.

[Hambugenable]

80s and 90s has the best songs ever<3

Musics nowadays isn't that good.

[tallnlean9]

@craigathonian - your metabolism will catch up with you, too.

[Adaman89]

Songs the best BUT WHY are there two dudes holdin each other the whole video.. Faggots.

[coodoo17]

I KNOW THAT FEEL BRO

[patriasuevia]

When I was 14 my class went to London by bus. It was a 18 hours ride and I only had two cd's to listen to: one was "Best of 1984" and this song was on it. So every time I hear this song it reminds me on that awesome journey.

[kypersonality]

One looks about 4 feet tall and the other 5 foot tall!!

[NurseChrisie]

I seriously love this song but I also have no clue as to the video?  Very confusing!

[juniebird80s]

This song is just so amazing!! Always loved this one!! Thompson Twins sure put out some excellent songs!! This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was! Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself!! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ☺♥

[Discoboy504]

I love this song AND this video...It looks like those two really love holding each other.

[loversnothaters96]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[jonibajen]

[pogsboo]

@nayair So I guess you are gay looking at small kids and getting a Hard on???? fucking freak....

[socceroo2]

cunt

[bradsommers1961]

These two Nancy boys apparently can't figure out that one of them needs to turn around before they can let "the lovin' start." We should pity them, not hurl invective at them.

[fabesify]

video is ahhh, i dunno....but the quality is superb!

[TerrisaVenus]

What a HOT vid.

[FUDGERSZ]

its touching; really. =-] 80S ruLeEeeeE!

[k8fearsnoart]

mega dazza7 def. has it right!

love it!!!

[lmt61251]

Great song, but all one can do is marvel at the video. Interestingly odd, which I guess says something about me. I've always liked David Lynch's work.

[munsterite]

was this filmed on the grounds of a retard asylum?

[hayleesweetpea]

@munsterite that made me laugh hahahhahaha

[MegaDazza7]

great song.. the video is to be accepted by us all mature people.

[chaplino]

What a beautiful song, but as for the video what can I say? Very disturbing indeed

[stonecannonable]

wish i was born in the 80's

[xoio]

I was lucky to have had my teens in the 80's -40years old now..

So i got to experience the best of music, 80's pop was very creative, merging musicianship with electronica.

Then through my 20's (90's) i witnessed the birth of all the forms of Electronic & Dance music we still have today, Trance, Drum & Bass, Ambient, House .. etc etc. The 00's have been stale.

Being a child during the 70's i can relate to the fuzzy nostalgic sound of Boards of Canada etc..

I think i am very fortunate... :-)

[Demonman26]

Got such a boner right now...

[spazman1976]

It's bomb.

[TheTreehaus]

There is a lot more to the video than we know, save the negative comments.

[tehbackmaskr]

this song just makes me think of a bunch of coked out 80's men with their collars popped up sitting around in a dance club too emotional to ask a girl to dance, even though they want to.

[roddster69]

to all you racists homophobes....GROW UP!

[16moneybags]

Great song-Horrible video!

[tehbackmaskr]

the media has us all brainwashed....

love is now a sign of weakness and/or homosexuality....

long live the elders of zion!

[loveyousomucho94]

<3 this song is an all time favorite ((:

[sukamugen]

THIS SONG, reminds me of running an empty los angeles trying to get rid of the lonliness under the sunset

[ddddanmark]

GREAT hug and song :o))

[rainerius]

I hug other guys if I am in the mood for a fencing match

[Dazlee0010]

Great 1984 song.

[vmelkon]

There was a heart at 1:59 and even before that too, I think at 1:10

[gentlebrit]

rock on!!

[ElCLASICO1137]

there not gay there just happy together

[dogmeatpal]

It's not gay ... unless you're both gay

[hitchiker2007]

its cool to hug ppl reguardless of which genders it is.

[nathanredd]

@mikee1999 its not gay until someone see's it.

(joking of course)

but youre absolutely correct. and in many cultures, embrace is a show of respect

[paintedladi]

They are not hugging.... looks more like slow dancing. :-D

[TheArchAngel90650]

I have a picture of Alex and Albert pin to my wall an image of you and me laughing it all look at our lives now the time has told the first one to laugh, well cry into dawn stay with me this song is wrong Albert you say I'm a dreamer but I say that we are two of a kind Alex hold me hold my heart, stay with me walk my part

[dwctek]

Ok, well, there is NOTHING WRONG with two guys hugging. However, there comes a point when one has to say, "OVERKILL"

[Algo922]

love this song soo much...

[grmlineMUE]

I hob a Buidl

an meina Wand festgmacht :)

[greenapple0608]

Lets all hug!!

[DinosaurPsycho]

This is the most stupidest video on you tube im pretty sure.. Good song tho.. I cant believe its still on youtube.. after 3 years, and its gay

[geodaddy1978]

@NrichD

Most stupidest? 'like um omg, i mean like come on, for real omg'.  New Speak at it's finest. For those who have a clue, remember this post and remember '1984'. Ponder 20 years from now . . . Mindless gromets like this clown will be turning you over to the thought police.

[NrichD]

...Yeahh.. !! Stupidest.. ! It's sorta like your word "um" not in the Concise Oxford but u know what i mean.. and the thought police can suck my dick.lolidge.

[Tapion058]

Well said Mikee

[QuantumProphet]

@mikee1999 yep, wake up people, dont be so judgemental at this expression of gay love :D

[LeCutter]

@mikee1999 It's not gay...unless you get a stiffie.

[MoosicandCritters]

@LeCutter ROTFLMAO!!! True!!
