[MrWati25]

This volume shit just ruined my experience.

[TheSatellitesister]

I love this song. I was able to see Maxi in concert back in 91. I was young, fresh out of school and hanging with my friends during a war-free summer. Beautifully peaceful.

[Nik3AllSt4r]

i heard on the jennifer aniston sports illustrated spoof she was hot in that

[sandro1153]

Who has less than 30 years ... sorry about that lost on the essence of music ... not what you call music played on the radio today with not a quality or content nor the same sentiment of pornography are just riffs, things that lead to violence, power, and have ... just that ...

[sandro1153]

Quem tem menos de 30 anos... sinto muito pelo que perdeu sobre a essencia da musica... não o que se chamam de musicas tocadas hoje nas radios sem nem uma qualidade nem mesmo conteudo nem tão pouco sentimento contido são apenas refrões pornografias, coisas que induzem a violencia, o poder e o ter...apenas isso...

[naditsia]

And damnnn he was rocking  his glasses 20 years ago !

[naditsia]

when the hell are people gonna make MUSIC again and not BULLSHIT .... only few artist now know what music is

[MrsMerlinSantana26]

Happy Birthday Max Alfred Elliot aka Maxi Priest. Your music will forever be timeless

[Heroduothecomedian]

[marasi36]

@christinamilian91 JUST ENJOY!

[musiqtube1]

which video version do you like better? this one or the one with the white background? it's so hard to choose cause i like both.

[n3vwinter]

Ah finally, I've been finding this for 3 weeks straight.

[briSAYShey]

idk how i know this song because im a 90's baby nd i just started singing it one day.... my dad was like how do you know this song?

[BrownBear725]

@briSAYShey,

like one of my my most recent exgirlfriend, you were probly conceived to this song. happened to hear it on the radio while driving your car somewhere, to class, to work maybe.

[kuzy03UM]

Oh wow I remember how I played and played this song, not too many years ago ;)

Still Love it.

[Indieotto]

This song reminds me of the times Brazil(where I am born)'s MTV was beginning to be broadcasted. It used to show every music style video without any distinction. You could watch this one toghether whit C&C Music Factory, Pixies, Billy Idol, The Stone Roses, Mudhoney, Dee Lite, The House of Love, etc., with no reality show shit between them or pushing them to late nigth broadcast.....SSSIIIIIGGGHHHHH­H, how I miss those years...!

[LukoP09]

This song reminds me of a girl in high school that I wanted to make sexy time with

[30032003ful]

помню 20 мтв 20 лет назад беззаботная юность куда все делось ?

[shonda87]

I'm a late 80s baby, so I wasn't old enough to really know music from the 80s and early 90s...but thank goodness my mom exposed me to it all! I love this song (found myself singing it in a store and had no clue how I even knew the words, but I knew it was from my childhood lol)!!! And thanks to youtube, I now know how the artist looks (never would've guessed it)...but I think I love him lol.

[sanuka]

it reminds me of the streets of rage soundtrack heheh

[deanohunter88]

@sanuka badman!!! spent many years playing S.O.R - 

[BrownBear725]

@sanuka,

absolutely! I love that game (still got it). The early 90s was all about beaches, tropical like music and bright colors. streets of rage added the element of fighting.

Hey, do you remember Kaoma's 'Lambada"? good song.

[aleribeiro33]

I absolutly agree. This song reminds me an age that doesn't come back anymore. I was 18 years old when i've heard this song for the first time and that's the age when walking gets too boring when you learn how to fly. And I'm still flying...

[jrewjrew]

I jus love tha 90's!!!& hate tha late00's 06-

[paye1876]

luv this tune

"I Just wanna be close to you And do all the things you want me to I just wanna be close to you And show you the way I feel"

[TamorangiR]

OMG Yes love da ole skool soundz...this was our jam back n da day - omg im 30 now - and still love dis jam - miss da early 90s jams - so long ago lol!!!

[ivybx]

1990 WAS ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!!

[yankessnperu]

80's & 90's were the BEST YEARS of Music......for anybody who have been around the 80's would agree....From House Music to Slow Jams...Music was Music....

[21brooksy]

I grew up in the 90's but im only just starting to appreciate the music culture movies that were made then, i knew it was good then but i didnt know it was this good. Wish i could have over again nowadays ;-(

[1UpGamers]

Oh GOD are you right...

[tekenareuben]

YES MAXI PRIEST

[GrailcodeDotNet]

1990 ... best year ever.

[zevadav]

The sound on the video goes in and out. It takes from the song.

Zeva

[BuckFutterd]

I remember this song back in 1990, it's hard to imagine it's been 20 years. When I listen to songs or see shows from this time period, I get misty eyed. Because it's time you can't get back, you wish you could have done this or done that but it's not possible. This song is a window into a time of your life that's gone. They don't make videos like this anymore do they.

[Crusin08]

@BuckFutterd

And thats the real truth! Make your life what you can while you can. Let's see what the next 20 years brings.

[queenienicole]

@BuckFutterd My thoughts 100% ...I agree word -for-word for my own reasons. I still choke up....

[gunnerglory]

@BuckFutterd So so true, I feel you big time on this. Other videos (almost magical in a sense) like this, that really typify that era for me is the video for Tears For Fears - Sowing the Seeds of love, Madonna - Dear Jessie and Michael Jackson - Leave me Alone

[1dadais]

@BuckFutterd thats for damn sure

[ROCKETDEJATULLOCH]

@BuckFutterd omg finally it is so true i loke it even though i was born 1997 i still think that its great to get it fom a person who seen it come out and grow into a song! wow ur words were deep.... thnx

[vandrossfan]

@BuckFutterd So true time just passes you by and so many great memories a time when music was kicking and we had more respect for each other what is this world coming to.

[lockenjr]

@BuckFutterd no bro I am from those years and no infact this was about the last of that era right here that 81-91 mtv...

[lockenjr]

@BuckFutterd do they even make videos anymore i dont keep up. seriously...

[BrownBear725]

@BuckFutterd

I was at my girlfriends parents house the other day just killing some time and we got to chatting about "old" 80s and 90s songs (Kaoma's 'Lamboda', some gloria estefan, sting 'shape of my heart'...etc) and I pulled this song on my laptop up so my girlfriend and I could jam out to a song we both love. After hearing the chorus, my girlfriend's mom told us my girlfriend was conceived to this song! Im 25 and she's 20 going on 21.

[aleribeiro33]

@BuckFutterd

I absolutly agree. I was 18 years old at 1990 when I've heard this song for the first time and its reminds me an age that won't come back anymore and I miss it so much. And reminds me the age when walking gets too boring when you learn how to fly...and I'm still flying...

[verydiversetastes]

@BuckFutterd You are SO right! Memories are often tied to music for me too!

[jadaboomboy]

@BuckFutterd  u are right

[naseem1986]

Badru masa and laila masi were having affair at clifton. i see from my own eyes in 1986.naseem was with me too.

[robphilll]

[SeanW113]
