80 sThe Spoons Nova Heart Rare 80s Video

[captgrant]

The best band to come out of Burlington, ON.

[ramboram03]

This use to play a lot on much music in the 90s , at night during those retro flashbacks they use to do. Though the song is old as I am , it really reminds me of high school . The spoons were an extremely talented group, Canadian musicians are very talented and ironically lots of theirs songs dont go beyond Canada eventhough they could have been International hits. This is one of those songs. Proud to be Canadian!

[MrNotbadyou]

I've always loved this song and video, but I've always found it kind of trippy. In a good way of course.

[ronofontario]

Wow, It;s been along time since i heard this song. Thanx for the great memories and video. Cheers

[Inthemix80s]

[transfobby]

the sweetest and the best canadian band of the era

[Dannymusic1999]

Time Machine please!

[DirkWWSox]

this song is so creative and reflective of the cutting edge of the 80s...pure genius in their work of each instrument

[hurleyhappy1169]

the 80s music is the best!!!

[otishaywater]

most asshole crticts think that majority of the bands in the 80's were disposable and lame, but i love them.

[jimdrum66]

Ahhhh...Spoons. I LOVE THIS BAND!! I think Arias & Symphonies was one of the best albums of the 80's, and there sure were a lot of great albums! This band was really special, no question.

I also loved Kissing the Pink, especially NAKED. Amazing album.

[teawanga]

I agree another great band

cheers

[gutter5niper]

This is my all-time favorite song.

[ajmacnab]

I loved the Spoons back in the '80's. I think I saw them live 4 times maybe 5. The songs are original but kinda the lyrics are so obscure especially in hindsight that one understands why they had such a hard time breaking out of the Canadian market and going international. They also weren't able to break out of that "'80's sound". Having said that...they are still fun to listen to!

[rsp196607]

THIS SONG IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LULABY.

[markuseb]

Really?? Hmmm I should try singing that to my 10mos old son!

[baggetaway]

great band from canada's 80's, had great versatility, both with the synths. and guitars, shameful break-up still waiting for the "Bridges over Borders" and "talk Back"cd release...any info. help please send. ps. the female is hot in this band.

[wibuh]

that synthesizer ROCKS!

[Jinger67]

80's from Canada !!!! Love it

[beagleheadfred]

Very 'Ultravox' like great stuff saw them live twice great band shame Sandy was such a snob!

[12gaAutomatic]

I love this song...:)

[bridgewoman]

Boys and girls, was at the parkdale craft concert and was deeply moved by the 80 flashback, never been tighter, always fun, loved the parking lock scene. S

[OlymPigs2010]

I could never make out the lyrics in this song's chorus,I always thought it said "I'll sleep in your overalls" - instead of "I'll sleep in your nova heart" - and frankly I think my interpretation still sounds a lot more sensible!

[cuteguyfromcanada]

LOL, that's funny. Nova heart means a luminous

heart that is warm and comfortable. Which is good to sleep in, knowing that you are being loved.

[findingcharlotte]

timeless..song and band

[waugsqueke]

I would have married Sandy in a heart beat! Even more beautiful in person. What a great tune.

[cuteguyfromcanada]

Too bad she's a snob!

[83056]

What do you mean, did Sandy snub you? oooooh! how Whitney Huston. :)

[goboats]

thanks so much for posting this ,lived in toronto in the 80s and this was a fav tune from a band from burlington just ten miles from me,romantic time

[humuluslupulus]

Awesome song and these people are the nicest, sweetest bunch ever. And yes, Sandy is extremely short and very very pretty :).

[transfobby]

Yes, they were. I met them once backstage lost among all of this Vancouver snots, really nice and polite, including me. I was actually standoffish with one of them.

[matdech]

St joes morrow park(1986)....anyone?

[Mulyanis77]

Great band. i was SOOOO in love with the bass player!

[Jim4575]

Another great Canadian band. Great song too .!

[djmodernroq]

One of my all time favorite songs! It's definitely on my 80's dj set. Great post and great gemm!

[djdrew77]

yeesss my fav 80's tune... and theyre canadian :-)

[matdech]

One of the many great Canadian songs of this genre

[spacecake01]

80s lovers, take it from someone who was glued 2 Mtv since 1983 while it was still pure. This video is the epitome of the 80s-- mmm... discovered this song on a P2P a year ago in a (Redanka) remixed version & fell in love w/ it! :-d

[7beers]

The Spoons used to open for the Lovin' Spoonful.

[TVShowLover]

i saw these guys a few years ago the girl plays a wikid bass wooooooooooooooooooooooo

[yuqiinchefaa]

I sure remember this song when I was a teen. There were such cool tunes from Canada in those days.

[spoons2me]

One of the most sophisticated songs ever written. Doesn't conform to any cliche, industry formula! Too bad they don't write songs like this anymore...

[spacecake01]

too right!

[djdrew77]

what a great song.... definatley my favorite 80's canadian song

[poesha]

This got a lot of air play in Milwaukee on college radio. Those were the days...

[groovedigger00]

In Los Angeles they did play it on the radio in the 80's, but not in the rest of the country I don't think.

[jsbx5]

Did they play it on KROQ??

[groovedigger00]

Yes KROQ did play it, and they showed the video on this afternoon program called MV3 ... don't know if it aired outside of Los Angeles, it was sort of a new wave American Bandstand.

[jsbx5]

I just heard this song recently. I don't think it got any air play here in the States back in the day sadly..I love this tune! So cool that this video is posted...thanks so much!

[martialmonk]

I think I requested and succeeded once in getting a Detroit station to play it around 1982, but only after I was exposed to it via CKLW-AM from across the river in Windsor. I am very thankful for those Canadian content laws that meant they had to play Rough Trade, Payolas, et al. We border folk benefitted.

[knobchock]

heh he. loved this song back in the day. all i remember from the video after all this time is the swing, the dress, the fingernails and the ballet shoe. thanks for posting it.
