"True" is the title track from Spandau Ballet's 1983 album True, originally recorded at Compass Point Studios, Bahamas. It was composed by group leader, Gary Kemp, and is a six-minute (in its original album version) slow pop-ballad love song that in part pays tribute to the Motown artist Marvin Gaye and the sound he helped to establish.[1] The song was recorded before Gaye's murder a year later.
Miss the 80's with their simplicity. Nowadays we have more communication, more technique, more what? We have less time, less love, less real friendship, less communication.
@happytaco I'm not sad. I only said I miss this simplicity. In the past, you could as a child meet your friends simply by ringing the bell. Nowadays parents would say: Don't the parents of your friend buy him a mobile phone? You need to do more nowadays to get friends. And people are more money and security-oriented. So don't begin with your psycho-shit like : You are sad. I never said that technology beat love. It never will and could. Technology of today couldn't even save data for 10 years
Walter et moi nous sommes aimés sur cette chanson... 1985 ? Je ne m'en souviens plus. Je me rappelle de la rue Mauconseil, du quartier Montorgueil, son sourire, son accent... et moi totalement chavirée. Où est passé cet amour ? pourquoi ne nous sommes nous plus aimés au point de nous détester 22 ans après ? Tu resteras un de mes plus beaux souvenirs et un amant exceptionnel.
que hermosa cancion me transporta al pasado a tiempos mejores..a solteria a juventud y noches de pasion con una persona que marco mi vida...hace muchooo valdra la pena recordarlo...? ..ohhhh
@dhaizlie18 gay or not what I'm after is the song quality. It's a rarity you find this kind of quality nowadays, you'll be like finding needle in a haystack.
@islandsnowgirl: This song is about truth in colours -- purple and orange specifically. The ecclesiastical purple and the pagan orange symbolize the mystical symbiosis in marriage between heathen and Christian traditions.
It was a really sad time to discover the development of the music industry when the eighties faded into the nineteen nineties so also did the music era of wonder hits.
What I really love about the new wave / Romantic bands of the 80's is that they dressed so nice; the videos were simple and classy. It is clear today that "music artists" have to have crazy, distracting videos to hide their lack of talent.
Ayeeeeee, im only 15 and I think this is a marvellous song. Reminds me of the oldies my dad played at home. Fantastic. I hope this song will go on forever((:
im know to be a bit of a hard nut to my mates, but hahahaha, u know what??? (between us yeh???) I fooking like this tune!! spandau ballet legends mate.
@IronPump89 , sorry dude that's PM Dawn that did a rap song sampling the song true,& in their music video at the end you can see tony singing with the rappers
Tony's voice and eyes still have the same mesmerizing effect as in 1985. The man is gorgeous! Loved Spandau Ballet as a teenager, still love them now. Sigh. Judging from the recent video clips, they still sound incredible.
Beautiful song. Tony has the most powerful and amazing voice. I'm finally reading Gary Kemp's book and it gave me goosepumps reading his feelings when creating this song. Oh, those day. Of course my generation, who really lived that era, thinks this is the best decade musicwise. Indeed. <3
