[Gothiczartan]

[Scrappy965]

I have this album on vinyl...never knew they had a video. Love it!

[Darksydde]

I cannot believe what I am seeing....I LOVE VITAMIN Z.......I HAVE THE ORIGINAL ALBUM OF RITES OF PASSAGE that cannot be found today and also....it was never made on CD......thank you for posting this............

[mattblackcutdown666]

nice trousers Geoff. maybe you could wear them a little higher...

[marie71061]

great song ! I only heard this song on a local video station out of Boston V66. Its great to see it again!

[scottsummers2372]

i was in high school when it became a hit here in the philippines it brings back good memories, are they still together?

[fitzpatrickgf]

I never knew Christopher Walken was the lead singer in this band!! I THINK WE NEE MORE COW BELL!.

[Biopharmer]

I've loved this song for a long time, but never seen the video. This video has an amazing narrative. It tells a story in a very simple and elegant way. There's that whole love triangle going on. The girl is very pretty too. I almost wish I could see what happened next.

[luna030369]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[tinaarevalo]

[amperro]

I heard this song when I was in summer camp.

[ProfessorNeuwave]

Great post man.  Not many people remember this one.

[wkndsquire]

Apple FINALLY made this available for download. Thank you for posting.

[SoundDeva5]

We had sooooo much variety of new music, new sounds, new styles in the 80's...I had heard this song & knew the band in the 80's, but didn't realize who it was...I rediscovered The Colour Field and The Three O'clock, thanks!

[perpetual61]

How did I Miss this back in the 80's ? I'm glad I discovered it I say better late than ever.

[tiddlywinksboy]

yeah, I discovered this in 85 or 86 I think when the HUGE 10 ft. satellite dish was popular. In Tennessee I had access to Much Music and the world. Friends would come over and marvel . Later we would go to Record Bar in Florence, AL and request the songs.....no luck of course!

[Dashland13]

OMG! I can't believe I am seeing this! I bought their album in the 80's. I never got to see the video back then. THANKS

[iluvrey4ever]

@giguchan that's not exactly racist but not exactly kind either........

[IamWill70]

[IamWill70]

love to sing this at every karaoke nights hahahaha

[Karlos323]

Temazo que no pasa de moda!!

[jcel25]

[jondominguez12]

DUDE!!!!!I LOVE THIS SONG>>>>> PROUD TO BE BORN ON 1989!!!! the 80,s s the best!!!!

[Lemieux91]

OMG!!! I love this song! It's been much too long since I've heard let alone have seen the video! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! for posting this!!

[Phathippoe619]

The lead singer remind me of Tear for Fear's Lead singer x)

[dgkXigloo]

This song really takes me back. Reminds me of a girl i knew back in the day......you know the rest.

[lollyreratio]

I've been searching for this song forever!!! I'm glad you posted it!

[JordanVANNA]

Can someone please post "Wipe Your Tears" by Vitamin Z ??? It was on the Howling 3 soundtrack! I cannot find it anywhere

[jyossof]

OMG!!!! I can still remember the first time I saw this video!!!!! I had such a crush on Geoff, Thanks for the memories.

[rlburns666]

I'm no 80s hater. I still really like a lot of stuff from this era, but these mullet farming, mousse abusing Tears For Fears wannabes go a long way toward justifying 80s hatred!

[Supersweetguy]

@rlburns666 Dude, just enjoy the music. Its the music that matters.

[rlburns666]

Come on! I'm no 80s hater. There was plenty of great stuff from that decade even in synth pop. But these mousse abusing, mullet farming Tears For Fears wannabes go a long way toward justifying 80s hatred!

[1234567366781]

 one of the great song of 80's era........

[shallowfl]

LOVED THIS VIDEO AND ALBUM TO DEATH IN THE 80's!!!

[animalnannymom]

[yetihunter888]

[myorangeplanet]

OMG... one of my absolute favorites... I can't believe I found it! Thanks for posting!!!

[ObiWanGuacamoli]

[mypierre9]

[gerrygarganera]

the 80s wave

[marie71061]

fantastic song! only heard this song on a local station back in 1985, great to see this video ,

[BrownEyesBlueYentL]

hahaha! this is one of the very few songs I liked when MTV was just starting

[darreninxs]

ohhhhh god do I yet have to interface with you morons - most bands in the 80's were pure genus - 90's sucked - nirnavanna sucked, stone temple pilots sucked, red hot chilli f---- peppers sucked, - my band didn't get signed in the 90's becuase were were not grunge - I'm coming back with attitude and an overwhelming in your face as f---- you - you stupid f----- losers

[drnrg31]

@darreninxs I agree that Nirvana sucked, but STP and Red Hot Chili Peppers were and still are great. They werte more catchy than most of those angsty grunge bnads. They weren't even grunge. They were rock. ANyway, if you love this kinda music, it's always been around. You just gotta look for it.

[jsbx5]

Wow..was not expecting a full on 80's vs. 90's debate....well as the person who posted this video first..I have to agree...I thought music really lost a lot of variety in the 90's, and has continued that sad trend ever since. But music is all very subjective utlimately, as you will see by a few negative comments here on my post...whatcha gonna do?

[giffeym]

@jsbx5 While pop music lost a lot of vitality in the 90's, country music sounded more and more like 80's pop as singer-songwriters were very popular at that time, and this type of yearning, romantic musis came to the fore. Now, I find I have to listen mostly to oldies or search out my favorite artists who don't fit genres on independent labels. I think this single would struggle to find an audience today, though admittedly, it was not a big chart success in it's day.

[Supersweetguy]

@jsbx5 Does image really matters when you're making a music video? That were MTV got it wrong.

[PippiClaremont]

@darreninxs Please don't take this wrong, but I must say publicly: I FUCKIN LOVE YOU!!! Your staunch devotion to the most incredible era of music, and your blantant disdain for this heinous music hodge-podge has made my year! For real! Take care, buddy!

[darreninxs]

wintersgrace - and yet you thought that teen spirit by nervannnaaashitface was original - they copied Gene Loves Jezebel from the 80's - you're an idiot everyone from the grunge scene is a f---- idiot - the only 2 good songs fronthe 90's were Happy from NED's atomic dustbin and great pets from porno for pyro's - the 80's were full of good music and ideas you stupid f--------

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@darreninxs : I admit that the stampede of Nirvana wannabes that came in their wake were bad, Nirvana themselves were a great band, one of the bright spots in the 90s. They were the Beatles of their generation, for better or worse. To even compare them to pre-fabricated, over synthesized disposable pop such as this only shows you might not know what you're talking about when it comes to music. As it is, I wouldn't believe a word you said if your tongue was notarized.

[wintersgrace]

Gawd, this is some awful shit.,

[chichiboypumpi]

ahhh the 80's silly clothes and hairstyle but the greatest music, poetry

unlike today's "getting hitched" garbage

[clhough]

Thank you for posting this. Vitamin Z was my absolute favorite band in HS. I appreciate the trip down memory lane.

[paulsynth]

Great song! I remember this was a big hit back then

David Rhodes the guitarist now works with Peter Gabriel

[sammacleod]

[wolfgangman98]

[456japan]

abso-bloody-lutely mate!you took the words out me mouth

[alaine515]

one of the best song of the 80's!

[pagliux]

The best song of Vitanin Z is "Burn for you".

[bauer444]

[bagsak66]

[starshineub40]

Oh wow how amazing is this? Used to hang out with Vitamin Z when they supported Midge Ure on his solo tour back in 85. Loved them then - never seen this clip though!

[rands214]

I love the 80s!

[Georgielivy]

The lead singer is my uncle !!!! lol :P

[cholnics99]

@Georgielivy - how is he? it's been years since I last hear him sing? Does he still write music?

[Georgielivy]

@cholnics99 -well he is now actually the manajor of the arctic monkeys !! and he just turned 50, (my dad and him are twins) at his 50th he got his band together and performed some old songs !! but i don't think he writes music anymore :(

[AvaGacser]

OMG, I am so happy to see this video again! I have this single on a 45. I'm dating myself, aren't I? I remember being totally obsessed with this song and played it over and over again... this and A-ha's "Take On Me."

[nakedgun17]

Wow! Thanks for the 80's flashflood of memories... This song helped us score with the ladies! Who still owns parachute-pants?... not me 8}

[JTXmusic]

the bass player is john taylor and the singer is christopher walken hahah GREAT BAND THOUGH! love this song and everytime that i see u

[NastyNateBand1]

OMG HaHaHaHaHa it's true! Love it though.

[kakeyte]

wow- awesome to rediscover this

[jsbx5]

Glad you found it!

[FashionedUp]

It's great to see this one again! In 1983, I used to have a crush on that lead singer-Cute!!

I love those awesome British bands from the past. Excellent!

[someonespecialtx]

I have always loved this song .. wow brings back some great memories for me.

I had it on tape years ago. Glad to find it again here. Thank you for posting!

[corgi4u]

Great song. I actually have this on a 45 with a picture sleeve. Still remember all the words too! Thanx much for posting.

[madethcc]

thanks for this...its been years now..happy memories indeed

[09LoveUTube]

Great song. Being a fan of so many types of mus, so happy it lead me to the Arctic Monkey as well. Amazing how everything old is new again. :)

[zilam98]

my music ministry mates had a great time singing to this song while having their fellowship at a beach. too bad i was working on the day and time they went to the beach, so i wasnt able to go with them. *sigh

[jimbailey69]

I had forgotten this song, and I now remember why.

[101decemberbaby101]

My uncle's in this video :p x

[prettygcm]

i remember francis m. used to sing this song

[bma473]

I love this song in the 80s. My good young memories in Manila.

[giffeym]

I was in my early 20's when this song came out, but as a gay man in Michigan, my sexual experience was nil. I fell in love with the lead singer, and now as a middle aged man, the lyrics have even more poignant meaning now. One of my all time favorites and I thought lost to me forever.

[dogkelp]

I'm a straight man in Illinois and my sexual experience is nil too. I'm 20. I'm not bicurious, so don't take this as a flirt. I just wanted to let you know it's not always a matter of orientation.

[giffeym]

Really well said. I was just using my own experience, did not intend this to be taken as a put down to anybody. I'm sorry if it was taken that way.

[princessjo86]

I especiall like the remix version of this song. Too bad I can't find the maxi single

anymore. What a great song.

[tubero2569]

I remembered this song.The Man from Manila "Francis Magalona" sung this in "That's Entertainment".(German Moreno Show).

[kaydt70]

thanks for uploading, this is one of my fave songs from the 80's...

[Randthor80]

I fell off the boat while singing this song. I really liked it so much.

[misscami71]

omg this song so reminds me of when my friend got dumped by her boyfriend in HS .. this song so sums it up.. I think she killed her 45 playing over and over..

[jsbx5]

Ya know..this song still rings true as a kid and as an adult sadly...I can't believe I have over 59,000 hits now..

[scidriver]

I might stand alone but this was a very sappy ass song, although the music was ok "you're under my skin and you know darn well" why not "damn well"? yuck! "Everytime I see you" was a much better song.

[oboogie71]

I have been obsessed with/looking for this video forever! I loved Vitamin Z from the moment I heard this song when I was 13 years old. So glad to have found it. Ta!

[balloydspiritsoul]

I really love this song and video ! To all 80s freaks like me out there, here is a hell of a question I want to be answered : WHY IS THE 80s VERY, VERY, VERY GREAT? Please answer me

[alanpogi69]

Because it's the 80's, that's why it's great.

[Apache8GW]

I loved this song!!

[ajs41]

Great song. First heard this on 80s retro CD.

[erikaalbury]

OMG this WAS my favorite song growing up - 15 years later i can just understand the full "under text". Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[jsbx5]

you're very welcome...glad ya found it!

[arnick2]

An absolutely EPIC song from THE most under appreciated band of the 80's & 90's!!! They were robbed of their just due - but all of their music will always be #1 with me. Any live videos of them out there??? One of the great regrets is not seeing them perform live - heard they toured with Tears for Fears - it must have been SPECTACULAR!

[jsbx5]

I would have loved to have seen that show too..such a drag I missed that also..

[jorbin124]

aahh..I would be so glad to be in England and 15 yrs old again

[faq4u]

Does This guy sing the "Fireman Sam" theme?

[firehehe]

Wow! I forgot all about this track. Wasnt their first album produced by the same guy that produced Tears For Fears - The Hurting?

[TheLost80s]

Also this song got a good bit of rotation on Nick Rocks on nickelodeon. I think it used to come on around 5 about the funny show " You cant do that on television came on". It was from Canada and also Alanis Morrisette used to appear on that show when she was a kid. Wow! Time flies!

[jsbx5]

time does fly right? Just seems like yesterday as a kid, stayin' up late to record these videos..glad I could bring it back for ya

[TheLost80s]

Their CD is selling for 55 right now on Ebay but past CDs have reached well over 200 and they are usually from Japan. One day I hope to add this to my wifes CD collection but not at 200.00. Great band, great song and great memories!

[Kamka1396]

Any idea where I can download this song. It reminds me of being 17... Love it

[Cooper1970]

After Hurricane Andrew I lost a lot of music! Nothing I could do about it; thank goodness for computers and Youtube!

[Cooper1970]

One of my favorites! Thanks for posting. Great song, I cannot find it on I-Tunes and I threw out the record years ago.

[jsbx5]

Aah...threw out the record?? I still have all my records from back in the day! Glad you got to see this again!

[ImInLove101]

my dad really really loves this song and he's only know it for about a year. he likes the oldies.

[Fornax2008]

oldies...it seems like yesterday when this ones comes out...well i guess you're right 23 years is really a great amount of time...

[giallokiller]

Does anyone have their video for Circus Ring?

[1stofthegangtodie]

the vocalist of this band is now the manager of arctic monkeys, great

[steeltown98]

the guy on the steiny....DAVID RHODES with hair!!! he plays for Peter Gabriel now...clean headed...

[jrbsupra]

In 1985 I was in military school in New Jersey, our floor officer, a senior , played this song super loud. Although he was a mean bastard he had different taste in music than the rest of the bon jovi listening zombie cadets.

[brutube57]

Yeh, found that out just after I posted the question! but thanks anyway BristolBaggie, who'd have thought it eh? I'm so glad he's still in the business.

[brutube57]

They were the support act for Midge Ure when I first saw them and I have to say they stole the show, did have the album at one time but no idea where it is now. Great band and songs - where are they now, anyone know?

[BristolBaggie]

I think Geoff their lead singer is now the manager of the Artic Monkeys if that helps

[bohuntr]

Still one of my favorite video's and songs. I should have gotten the album when it was available.

[seattlesoygirl]

You are awsome for finding and posting this. This is a long time favorite.

[jsbx5]

hah..hey, thanks...when I saw that it wasn't up...I put it up immediately! I'm really glad too because I've heard from people all over the world, which has been a really cool, totally unexpected experience.

[Latas33007]

Oh my GOD this was my HUGE break up song from 1988... ouch! But.... I LOVE this song!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

[jsbx5]

Wow..who broke up with whom? You're welcome..glad you found it.

[Latas33007]

heehee.... depends on which time we are talking about. The ex and I broke up a few times. ;) I also found the song on limewire. Teenage memories!!! :)

[Dardicuzz]

Could someone please post the song "Angela" from the Rite of Passage album, if you have it. Been aching to hear that song again.

[CC007]

I recently was going through a bunch of old 45's at my mom's place, and came across my original copy of this single(w/picture sleeve!) in MINT condition. Great great song, brings back some cool memories.

[jaimen10]

buenaaaaa cancion a los tiempos ,nada como los 80´s

[A1441]

Oh my god! I can't believe I'd find this music video on YouTube today. This is one of the very first songs I searched on this site more than two years ago, but I couldn't find it. After hearing it over the radio an hour ago, I decided to search for it again. Wow, thanks a lot for the upload! Added to my list of favorites.

[jsbx5]

really glad I could help you see it again. I'm still amazed at how many people have seen this and still remember this song and video so fondly. Really good times back then.

[Batboi66]

Wow...

Big fan, great song, great lyrics, total under rated band. Thanks for posting.

I can't hear this w/out sheding a tear.

[gbaby696969]

This is one awesome song! I have this one & "everytime that i see you " on an old video. I have there old CD and it's awesome! Love the mood they set!

[peppermintgarage]

This is a great song. :)

Whatever happened to Vitamin Z?

[chameleonday]

Nice to hear English singers that don't try to hide their accent.

[Batboi66]

Ever hear the Smiths? Morrissey doesn't hide his accent either :-)

[chameleonday]

Oh yes Morrissey, and also Billy Bragg.

[pjaug26]

i love this song...

[a22266]

I'm still DYING to see the video for 'Everytime That I See You', I saw just the very ending (15-30 seconds) of it 2 times back in 1985! I can't believe how unlucky I was! It was my girlfriend & I's song at the time!

[vigi2a3]

the eighties may have meant big hair and atrocious fashion, but the music was really great. god, got such a kick singing along to this song... buhning flime!

[guanoboy]

Wow...Big Vitamin Z fan and I have never seen this video. Thanks for posting it. They also did the soundtrack for one of the Howling III...very strange! Someone above mentioned Alone Again Or, another great band...I've got some of their tracks...ah...the 80's!

[hummingfrog]

Wow, YouTube is just magic! I have occasionally thought about this video, which I remembered from the 80's, and wanted to see it again. Now, some 20 odd years later, here it is!

The song is nice, but what I really remembered was the girl, who I thought at the time was one of the most stunningly beautiful women I had ever seen. I was curious to see if I would still think so.

Yep, I still do! :-)

[koreanmine]

new wave 80's ...the best !!! wat wud music be like without it

[tubtattoo]

Great to see this video- hadn't seen it before. It took me until 2005 to track down a copy of 'Sharp Stone Rain' on CD- still one of my favourite albums (especially 'Run for Our Lives'). Thanks

[xxxghanimaxxx]

Yup. Great sounds in the 80's...
