yea i like all types of music,was in into metal rock as a kid growing up in 80s when this was around/fresh,and iv never forgot it. i think this one the greatest songs ever.idk what it is... its lil hypnotic.belinda sells it beautifully.
@sayjimwoo Yes and half of it was remover by photo retouching. She was very heavy at the time because she was taking one of her longest breaks from using cocaine. I think she is one of the most beautiful women who recorded in the 80's. i just adore her!
Twenty-five years after this masterpiece was released, I still get chills whenever I hear this song. I can't think of many songs released in the 80's that are so deep, soulful, and honest. Thank-you for sharing this.
@pjr500 Thank you ... it depends on the moment, as "Rock Stars" tend to be quite complicated.:) Sometimes, I love him truly and deeply, and other times, he drives me to distraction. I am currently in the latter --LOL!! Oh well...
I've just been to see the Here & Now tour on which Belinda sings 5 songs - I'm 41 so she really was my first true crush and oh boy, she is as stunning now as she was in the 80's. She owned the place, full of fun, fab tunes and of course a true beauty in every sense.
i love music like this....nowadays....you see female artist dressing in their undies...to sell their music.....which is sad...even when they dont have to dress like that....
Please activate the option for mobile phones, so that this song is also available on mobile phones and especially on tablet PCs (Youtube: "My uploaded videos - Edit - Broadcasting and Sharing Options - Syndication – Yes, make this video available on mobile phones and TV … - Save Changes").
Not her best single-'I Plead Insanity' is pretty much the same lyrically but so much better. But of course, beats the shit out of the women 'singers' of today & Bel wasn't even one of the top 80s girls, but still miles better than what was the follow in the 90s & now!
This is such a great song its hard to say what i feel inside from it but Belinda Carlisle is such a beautiful voice in this decade... Also very attractive if i may say so my self
Magical & timeless songs such as this just prove that the 80's produced some of the finest, most most euphoric inducing music of all time! For much of the music that came out back then had this natural authenticity, real depth, this sublime sense of wonder & this much better, more vibrant sound that still resonates! Just like this wonderfully uplifting tune! God bless the 80's, in all its undiminished Glory & Vibrancy, & God bless Belinda Carlisle for bringing us mesmerizing songs like this!
I'm currently reading Belinda's autobiography LIPS UNSEALED... very interesting read. When you think of the trajectory of her career it's almost mind-boggling... from punk rock to power pop with the Go-Go's to sophisticated adult-contemporary pop songs like this one... and her most recent album is made up of French chansons. I read a negative review that once said that Belinda put no feeling into her singing. I couldn't disagree more... I think she gave this song the treatment it needed.
One of my favorite songs of the 80s; makes me think back to when I was 10 years old, got my own radio for Christmas, and discovered Top 40 music circa 1987/88!
Wow, this song has been stuck in my ALLL day at work so when I got home I decided to look it up on good ol' YouTube and here it is!!! Lol. I love Belinda's voice, and love 80's music as well. She had such good stuff out.
And lilemalik you are right, this - and the 90's - was when music was music. Nowaday's it's just....bleh, I can't stand it. And it doesn't matter what age you are. I'm 20 and I listen to mostly 90's music!
to danbb, at the time Diane was a HUGE fan of the Go Go's and of Belinda's first solo record, so being friends with him, she bugged the living hell out of Rick Nowells to let her write something for Belinda's 2nd record, she specifically wrote "I Get Weak" and "World Without You" tailored for Belinda's voice. and still to this day considers this song to be one of her favorite recordings and one that solidified her as a go-to songwriter in the pop industry.
I didn't even actively listen to music like this in the '80's. I was a metal head. But, I had girlfriends that liked it and I'd never admit to it back then but good music is just good music. I'm a musician and everyone in my family is also and I know good music when I hear it. This song brings back some cool memories. Belinda was and is a great talent. Pretty too.
The song itself is good, but Belinda Carlisle doesn't do it justice, she sings out of tune on the recording, so I hate to think how bad it sounded when she sang it live. Diane Warren is one of the greatest songwriters of all time; she should've given this song to someone who could sing it in tune.
@mastmedia You're making it sound like I'm an American Idol fan, which I am not at all. My point was, there were singers around AT THE TIME who could have done a much better job WITHOUT voice enhancement. Examples of singers with powerful voices who could sing in tune from that era: Paul Stanley (KISS), Michael Bolton, Joseph Williams (Toto). So I agree that auto-tuned modern music is worse that this, but when I think of the "great" singers of the 80s, Belinda Carlisle is not one of them.
@danbb1984 Belinda's raspy voice a la Stevie Nicks/Janis Joplin is one of the reasons I like the song so much. It's what makes it stand out in a sea of ballads that are meticulously harmonized.
Belinda may not be considered "great" by some standards but, in the minds of many, she truly is memorable. Something that can't be said for most artist in this era.
The fact she didn't have to get naked to do it, speaks volumes in my book.
When she hungrily growls "I Get Weak" - that's it for me.
@danbb1984 If the Homecoming Queen was into to hard rock, Belinda would reign.
She's the naughty girl-next-store drapped in a Victorian veil. No one comes close to wearing the mantel.
Her voice is like the sound of innocence after a summer of love. 'Mad About You', 'Circle in the Sand', 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' just wouldn't be the same if sung by another artist.
It's like watching a hot girl taking a cool drink of water. Nothing compares.
@danbb1984 i kinda agree with you actually.. i just re-listened to fergie's (stacy ferguson's) version of this when she was on kids incorporated and i think she sounds a lot better than belinda!
@lilemalik Someone who appreciates real music,i was 14 when this was released in 1988,Belinda Carlisle languished on my bedroom wall alongside a few others i could name.
music is still music, in 2020 we will think of the millions of songs produced between 2000 and 2010 and we will have nostalgia and memories and will say that "those were the years" and won't believe how much great music there was and will probably criticize the "less-music" of 2020. I wouldn't know were to begin: Moby - Lift Me Up, Linkin Park - What I've Done, Muse - Uprising, Gnarls Barkley - Crazy, Keane - Everybody's Changing, Dido - White Flag, Bob Sinclar - Love Generation...
This is one bad arse song.

You didn't have to have the ideal voice, you just had to be able to sing. That's why I loved this time in music.
I can't stand shows today like 'American Idol' where everyone tries to emulate distinct voice and sound of those who've come before.
