When I first heard this, I was lying on the hood of my old Chevy. My gaze was fixed upon the night sky (I was watching a meteor shower). The night was crystal-clear and every star seemed as though it was singing this to me. Fantastic tune -- great band -- then and now!
@CSHADOW69 It WAS yesterday. Time is like a vapor. I yearn for the old days. That often happens when one turns fifty or over. The '80s weren't the best years for me, but, the 2000s are completely nowhere.
One of the few artists that landed on the wombatster's "Essential Eighties" more than once. The strong backbeat and sincopated guitar riffs may have been too much for the average music listener in the eighties. These guys were ahead of their time. Their music is even more relevant today than it was when originally released. A giant raspberry to the idiot that cut off this song before it was allowed to end.
this track from the React album is the best, was recorded during a sound check at a concert venue, several of the tracks on that album were recorded like that, very cool
The Fixx "Saved by Zero" in High Quality Audio this band and this music will live forever in music history. I alway's like'd -One thing lead's to another.
@ariesscorpiorising Not arguing that it's not a cool video; it most certainly is. However, AS POSTED ON YOUTUBE, the audio quality of virtually every upload is simply awful. The last time I saw the official video with decent audio was on late night show called Night Tracks more than a quarter century ago.
I would seriously LOVE to see the the video with the kind of audio that tickler1 uploaded here AND have the audio and video in perfect sync. It's hard to pull off.

"Saved By Zero" is one fantastic tune! Toyota had great taste to use a version of this in their ad campaign in 2008. Great song, great ads!
Bravo, The Fixx!

Too bad that the "official" version of this video has awful audio. BUT... audio is more important to a music lover, so thank you, Tikler1!

@MEMO377 The audio does sound better than the VEVO version, but this doesn't sound like it is in stereo.
Sounds mono to me.
