The Assembly - Never Never

[panzerpbr]

i'm an old school New Waver... i've always liked this song. always been i big fan of Vince Clark and all of his projects. and now after all these years getting to watch the video is really cool!

[thesodofturf]

I don't understand the imagery of the Travellers...?

[dfarmbrough]

Great song, but bugger off VEVO adverts!

[Paintheshed]

Written by Vice Clarke or Erasure, Yazoo and Depeche Mode fame.

[feargal75]

years and years after I always love Feargal Sharkey's so special voice !!!!!!

[Dataraperclub]

The song and its performers are great. In a manner of honors, we made a cover version of it, at the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of Mute Records. The initial track was transposed a tone higher to better suit a female voice. You can check the result out on Dataraperclub if you desire !

[SuperAlanyoung]

Never did happen to me,over 15 year`s have past and no nookie,this song is a fucking curse

[DVDMattR]

forgot all about this song. happy i found it :)

[jazzhonda38]

Filmed at Upminster Windmill if anyone's interested...

[TransformedMan]

Who is that other guy in the suit?!!!

[junkmayle]

@TransformedMan

Just the bloke who wrote the song - Vince Clark

[jazzhonda38]

@TransformedMan

The other two are Vince, and Eric Radcliffe the producer

[TransformedMan]

@jazzhonda38 Thanks Jazz! I couldn't place him and its been sooooooo long since I've seen a pic of him. 

[lilchrissy08976]

this song makes me cry for some reason when i sing along i cry

[fschd1]

I love this song Vince is best

[adobePC]

Wow! I have not heard this since about 1986. I never knew who sang it. Thanks for posting it.

[rouguy1972]

Beautiful !!!

[gazzagoeson]

Vince Clarke has got to be the ultimate in underestimated talent. So much success with what appears to be so little effort, and yet every one around him becomes famous! Vince, you must want it this way? If not, then its about time you pointed out to all concerned that the success comes from you.

[gazzagoeson]

It never happens to most of us but we go with what we've got and hope for the best.! The ones we like do a runner and the ones we dont like stick to us like glue. Oh for an explanation of the female mind....

[erasure43]

Loads of memories, just beautiful!!!, Love this to bits

[lilchrissy08976]

Best somg but its so sad and whats the word im looking for???

[ClusterTruck]

[piedrada]

Another hidden gem from the greatest decade of music!

[slipknot00010]

[chubbylegend]

Vince Clarke=synth legend

Feargal Sharkey=corporate sellout and enemy of pirates the world over.

Go Figure

[speedinginmyporsche]

Grow a pair like Morrissey

[easterangel1]

Thanks for posting, brings back lots of memories and it really did happen x

[allyplumb]

Shame this never project went beyond a one off single, maybe it worked out for the best that way for both artists in the end as a year later both  had bigger success as a solo act and Erasure..

[0gargleblaster]

Holy crap Vince Clarke and Feargal Sharkey!

[groovedigger00]

Feargal Sharkey!

[lilrabbitcuz]

vice city stories i felt just like this cause i was alone and every one around me had simeone but now i got that special someone and is not letting go

[eiffe]

Ａｗｅｓｏｍｅ　ｎｅｖｅｒ　ｈａｐｐｅｎｓ　ｔｏ　ｍｅ！

[Ashley19721]

Stephen Luscombe was the guy in Blancmange, another great group

[paloriggs]

i bet it does

[tweedy127]

Wasn't Vince Clarke also in Blancmange?

[paloriggs]

no. he was in the grateful dead tho

[MsFireball3000]

Vince Clarke!!!! Legend!!!

[TheJaking87]

I think Vince Clarke will go down in the record books for being a member of four different bands during the eighties:

Depeche Mode; Yazoo; Assembly and Erasure.

[ErwinDass]

Assembly was a project which included Vince Clark

[stacey19841]

Heard this a long long time ago on a rave tape. My father always said it was the Undertones but after catching a bit on the radio i went in search and found a group ive never heard of.....

[blumphy]

Yes a very unique voice indeed. I remember the documentry in the late 80's that explained that whenever recording in the studio, Fergal would have someone(Usually a dwarf) squeezing his testicles but he could never replicate the sound live on stage and thus his career suffered due to it.

[sjeweettoggg]

that sounds like bullshit man....

[deelight65]

Loved this song when i first heard it and went out and bought the 7" vinyl, and i still have it to this day... fergal had a very Unique voice,

[shorerydr10]

im sure this about the machine language, right?

[ZIPPYZUBE]

IT NEVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!

[rootylookin]

I knew this song when I was about five or six, but never thought anything of it. 26 years later, being 30, single and surrounded by happily married friends and women that aren't interested in me, this song suddenly speaks to me. It's like 'wow, I'm not alone in my thoughts.' Someone has written a song about it. Thank you, it's basically my life right now.

[yararu]

you make me sad. :( Keep your chin up.

[CarelessWhisper10]

@rootylookin "it happened to me" but i wish it didnt..it left me with pain ..

"when you have nobody nobody can hurt you"

[hippyable]

@rootylookin Come To Me!!!!! I am here for YOU!!!!

[iamspeed]

@hippyable fuck it no the best thing he can do is kill himself,apart from that go on these dating sites and find some fat desprate woman with a few kids to different dads whos game for anyone.Are you one of them?

[hippyable]

@iamspeed what are you implying? I don't even know what you are talking about.

[hippyable]

@iamspeed I am a fat person either female or male it doesn't matter. who do you think you are. why don't you reply to me I'm not fuckin' desperate as you portray me to be. Good-Bye!

[GileadKid]

@iamspeed Bit harsh, fella.

[iamspeed]

@GileadKid i was wrong i apologise to hippyable,i was a little drunk.

[GileadKid]

@rootylookin So a year later, any luck yet?

[russ7510]

Another vince clarke classic

[Bobban]

[neondad]

thats how life is or maybe just feels sometimes  top song quite touching

[rugeross]

[klimpermann]

"Love is just a door that´s locked and there´s no key" :´(

I hope I find the key someday!!!

[RheingoldxxL]

I still love the sound of Vince Clarke ... *hhhm*

[RalphSea]

What I have been through, definitely the song for me at my funeral. It sums up my life.

[Dutchotto08]

BEST SONG EVER!!!! Heard it the first time on grand thft auto vice city stories. lol!!!!

[rwbk1]

So did I XD

Emotion 98.3

(A)

[prisonnersdilemma]

ME TOO!!!

[criddlemadz]

SO DID I!!! :)

[MecudoYconunPitote]

@Dutchotto08 Me too I first heard it on gta Vice city stories.

[gus911hot]

@MecudoYconunPitote me too great song

[ZeR03214]

@Dutchotto08

me too. (:

[BlackSkyThunder]

@Dutchotto08 I don´t know if it is the best song in history but one of the most romantic and emotional lyrics for sure... It is a song about so many love adventures you wanted to have but they were impossible for so many reasons. In my opinion, it is only possible to understand the whole meaning of this song when you are in your loneliness looking through your window, for example.

[lilchrissy08976]

@Dutchotto08 ikr



[MrGod32]

@Dutchotto08  same

[groomlake95]

@Dutchotto08 a lot of songs got more fame because of gta

[kevcar08]

everything vince touches turns to gold. he is a modern musical genius.

[onathanj]

So true!

[yorkshireknave]

Wow, Amaaaaayzing..!! I was messing about on Wikipedia (like you do), when I somehow came on to ´The Assembly - Never never´. I knew instantly "I know that song". Played it on here, and after what? 25 years, I could still sing it word for word. What memories, what a song. Thankyou.

[cake5000]

This by far one of my favorite songs!

[JuicyPiePoker]

Story of my life.

[blueshadow66]

Me neither Mutant ! It's my anthem ! :o(

[mutantking88]

[idruinn]

I love this song, it remembers the woman i love above all things of this world.

For you my darling with love!

[Swifkanator]

it never happens to me either

[LuxClassical]

Big song

[viperpack]

wats this song about and whats it mean???

[mistofoles]

It's a guy lamenting about a failed/unreciprocated love and the fact that nothing fortitious ever happens to him, just to other, lucky people

[JNblok61]

Good song!

VICE CITY STORIES!

[fleshnbone187]

Vice City Stories.

[regordravgis]

Nice one.. Fergal Sharkey.. also check out You little thief.. great song!

[80sking678]

80s forever

[stefan197123]

i dont like gey it by song isw greate

[arita2006]

excellent song. It sounds like Vince wrote it for Yazoo - did Alison Moyet ever get to sing this song? I'd love to have heard this with her voice - it would have made a great follow up to Yazoo's swansong, Nobody's Diary.

[u414336]

Loved this in 1983, Vince Clarke was / is a brilliant song writer with Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure, Assembly and other stuff too.

[jesslin72]

Great song. The best Vince done.

[born2live]

yes =]

[pyrettablaze67]

I had this song on a Survival Sampler cassette that was eaten by the tape player many years ago...so happy to hear it again! What a lovely high tenor voice!

[Kullis]

the voice

[felinasatanico]

Beautiful, sad song... thank you for posting.

[FMan905]

Fantastic. Clarkie is one of the most influential musicians of our time.

[mimi01973]

vince the best thanks

[howcomeyoudontca]

Vince was so great to find Feargal Sharkey as vocal

it's an emotional synth ballad

[jpiekars]

Thank you for posting this; I've never seen this before. I love DM, Yazoo, and Erasure, but seeing this helps confirm the importance of Eric Radcliffe on early Vince work.
