To morrisonAV, Thank You so much for posting this video. I haven't seen this video since the early 1980s since it was played on MTV, and to be honest, i like this song & video more than "Melt With You".Thanks again!!
Why the hell is Marilyn Manson stuck in the playlist with all these 80's tunes? Okay, so like everybody else and their grandmother, he remade some old songs. Pretty sad when your best songs are ones someone else wrote for you.
This song has an epic proportion,I don"t get why it did not fare better on the charts...But the charts are not always relevant as for the quality of certain song..
the 80's are the best time for music!!!! and videos. i feel sorry for people who are growing up to music with the likes of gaga bieber rihanna beyonce or whatever she calls herself. i hated pop music in the 90's andthe millenium i still hate it today.!!! if 2012 doesnt happen ill be very disappointed!!!
I like the music video of this better than I Melt WIth You which seems to be just shot on studio informally. This music video looks to be very well choreographed and has a lot of kids as extras.

@y3k23k You can't judge it by today's standards. Videos were a new concept, bands often had little to no creative control and had to do what music execs told them, and everyone was trying their hardest to come up with something new. If you can't get past the video, just close your eyes or minimize the screen.
The album art was part and parcel with these guys. Great memories with this band. Unfortunately this video doesn't age well. It looks like they had to borrow clothes from Boy George in this one.
never mind "melt with you" it got and still gets way overplayed., This was a far better track, and got just about ignored on american radio, thank you for posting. Brings back memories of hearing this song at Vinyl Fetish on melrose in the 80's
It's 1986, Junior @ Lake Brantley High, dating this uber hot surfer, (can't remember his name for the life of me?) He called me "Betty" cuz not only was I cool, BUT, I was a fantastic skateboarder. Wonder what happened to him?
Just tried to find this song on iTunes. Interestingly, the original single isn't on there, but the video is.
This is the only ME video I remember seeing on MTV. I didn't see Melt With You until years after it was a hit. I used to think Robbie looked a bit like Bowie at the time this came out. Does anyone else see that?
This band was horribly underrated. Even their signature hit song wasn't even that much of a hit, I think it was top 80 in America and twenty in the british indie rock charts or something like that.
@chapmanstickman in Los Angeles, they used to play "Ink & Paper" quite a bit on the radio, as well as on local music video programs, but that song didn't even enter the charts anywhere in the world that I'm aware of! I'm especially surprised that they never appeared on the main UK pop chart ever!
This was in 1984 or something?

I'm pretty sure every time Robbie sings "Stretch your hands across the sea", it's the exact same shot.
