  • I have to say that I miss the music that I used to listen to in the 80's like Ultravox...I agree that music will never be quite as good... back then you could understand the lyrics. These days half of the time I wonder what they are screamin'!!! Do songs have any meaning to them anymore?

  • @BestMuscAvailable : Respekt , man sieht es gibt auch junge Menschen die wissen was gute Musik ist.

  • gute musik, was soll ich sagen, ich bin 16 und mir gefällt das iwie :D

  • @BestMusicAvailable Welche Art von Musik hörst du?

  • Many thanks jjbit for the posting. I could not agree more with the comments here!

    Ultravox were one of my favourites in the '80s-and Hymn is one of their best songs!

  • I'm 22 now, i listen to 80s music like ultravox at years... and that kind of good music will never came back again!

  • I quite like Muse but aren't they just Ultravox Jr.?

  • Nothing against Ultravox: Edguy rules! ;) Epic cover

  • great, perfect, timeless classic. brings me back lots of nice memories. thanx jjbit for sharing this masterpiece.

  • don't do it, lads; it's a trap. 

  • ik,heb,zolang,voor,noppes,gety­pt,niet,dom,word,je,geleerd,ko­eiekop,maar,lelyk,dan

  • today's song are crap. the 80's and 90's was so wonderful. brings back memories when listening to these songs. wished these days could return.

  • roobko i downloaded... uuh bought xD that lunatica album just for that song but the other songs are crap and ofcourse the original is the one and only ;)

  • I think that Lunatica (new) version is better :/

  • Epic

    

  • Epic Ultravox! 80's Forever!

  • ultravox, the best music from the 80's. shame they stopped making music like this...

  • fantastic song from Midge!!!!!

  • warren's smile at 1:06 is soooooo very nice. btu then his smile is always nice. love you a lot the mighty warren cann at the drums.

  • Nice song.

    That evil green-eyed dude looks very solid and impresive. Usually I care little about how I look, but after watching him I got a sudden strong wish to change my haircut at very least. :)

  • @erikauskas78 its an actor called oliver tobias, quite the heartthrob in his day

  • his face like he was criminal person...he really wanted to be criminal and now he realised that dream in video..hahaha.

  • cover from edguy is waaaaay better...

  • love this video. love the song says a lot . heck i just flat love ultravox. have since 1982. been mates with the boys since that tiem too. love you guys specially "the might warren cann at the drums".

  • This song is FU*KING amazing ! love it so much <3

  • Me recuerda un viaje una semana de locura con mis amigos a Cullera en 1984, con 16 añitos. Han pasado 26 años, ¡qué barbaridad!

  • I am surprised this song hasn't been used for some kind of campaign.

    It would make a great theme song to the 2012 Olympics etc.

  • best 70's song everrr

  • @Yrvyne

    It's a hit single from 1982 not the 70s!

  • @EdZimmerman oooops, anyway, it still is great ;)

  • Its supposed to be all about doing a deal with the devil and the devil wanting pay back! People do this kind of thing all the time.

  • @dali366

    Yes and it never pays off to deal with the devil.

    When you deal with him, you do not change him, he changes you.

  • @VannevarBush Yes very true. Excellent song mind!

  • @dali366

    Yeah, I really love the music of Ultravox.

    You should look for "Ultravox - Astradyne" ..very good instrumental track from the vienna album.

  • @VannevarBush Agree. Tracks frm the Vienna album and singles frm that 1980/81 period have a poss hint of early inspired electro, glam gothrock synthstyle ; ) Vienna being a gd example. Ultravox usually wrote varied pertinant and moody music bt were labled as apop/rock band that used synths. If they had stuck to an original electro, 'glamgoth' format they wod have been more successfull! The album Quartet went very prog rock : ( Just my opinion lol

  • try it same song from edguy

  • Hum ! i know a certain British band of today who took a big inspiration here musically with this mix of proggy and new wave. And yes of course, Midge Ure was playing keyboards and guitars and singing....I wonder where i saw recently another guy doing exactly that !!! Who know that guy whose first name begins with an "m". Ultravox rule !

  • @carl13220 i take it his surname begins with "B" =)

  • de muziek is ontstaan in t jaar dat ik ben geboren en toch blijft t machtig zelfs coldplay probeert n n cover op te maken ;-)

  • ♥♫♥ einfach nur genial ♥♫♥

  • Fantastic !!!

  • Auf Thomas !

  • My alltime favourite from the 80's - I just love it!!!

  • Da merkt man mal, dass die Leute früher noch wussten, wie man Musik zu machen hat. Heute gibt es nur noch wenige gute Gruppen/Sänger.

    Stattdessen darf ich mir anhören, wie Lady Geisteskrank aus dem Radio ihren bassstarken Abfall trötet :/

  • Love Ultravox! We will remeber ....you will be with us forever ....

  • We have MUSIC! You have GAGA and all this shit!

  • I have the limited edition PURPLE VINYL EXTRA .........that came as a bonus with the double album.....BRILLIANCE.....

  • so reminds of my first love..xxx

  • Was habe ich ein Glück, die 80-er erlebt zu haben.

    So tolle Musik, absoluter Klassiker bis heute!!!

  • It's just me or the guy who give the contract to midge ure is incredibly similar to Damien in The Omen 3?

  • @ryudragon86 oh, I'm sure my sister mentioned that at the the time too, is it possible it may be the same chap?

  • Leute passt auf ein neuer Virus ist unterwegs"!!!!!!!

    HYUMN ;)

    ZU Geil diese Lied

  • I just love that song.... heard it the first time when i was about 8 years and i just loved it directly....

  • OMG! This is MUSIC!!

  • im so happy they are back together :D ULTRAVOX are awesome one most best band ever

  • This might not be the ultimate Ultravox tune according to people in the world but it is definitely is mine and I did not discovered either the tune or the band , it was fellows at the music school. We were at a gas station , and they ejected one tape and put in this one, no gas was put into the car and no bills were payed, just 30 minutes of music playing while occupying a slot at the gas station, the world can wait we rule . :)

    this was the 1980 while pros still ruled the music industy.

  • Союз нерушимый,

    Республик свободных..

  • skeletons from my closet:D

  • 52 under 20y saw this video.

  • Can't and didn't fault the music, but have to be the most boring band I ever saw!

  • Have a look under h ttp://ultravox.npage.de

  • what a nice world these times back in the 80´s

  • It beats me how this powerful and lyrically brilliant song never got to number 1 and yet Vienna did , i guess its a case of fasion

  • @DaveyBoyEssexUK Vienna never did get to number 1, despite being the top selling single of 1981. It was kept off the top slot by Shuddupyaface! I agree Hymn was a better song than Vienna.

  • @jdb47games Yes your right Vienna got to no 2 I think Hynm got to No 11

  • If you posted this it means that you love ultravox.I wish I could meet you.Don't have many friends who know of ultravox. Thank's for posting....VERY MUCH!!

  • YAY I remember this song i love to see in whit my sis.

    We talk this clip in and out and its fantastic. And the music is so greate 80's rule.

  • I would gladly trade in my hex-core PC for a Commodore-64 if I could go back to 1982!

  • Awersome!!

  • Fantastic song

  • The Sound of the real 80's!!!!

  • yes.............

  • this song gets stuck in your head. which is not a bad thing if a picture of midge is stuck there with it.

  • lol he lifted the lyrics from a Ronald Raygun speech about shafting thatcher with a nuke - if youre under 30 you may be wondering about raygun and thatcher

  • I am a living dead since 1990. Best times in life are gone.

  • this was music back in the day. not the pop crab you can't either stomach or can't understand. love midge's voice

  • " fall from grace ",

    They never did in my book.

    Until this genre of music returns to the forefront , todays youth has not

    heard a decent note or song.

  • What a song! Best of the eighties!

  • wundervoll

  • muchas gracias por subir este video y por la explicación,por cierto jjbit el cantante es Midge Ure

    un abrazo

  • Definately Ultravox is a lot better than all this so called music that the Chavs listen to these days

  • das schöne lied kam heute morgen auf RBB!!!

  • I'm 24y old and only one thing i can say, the now day's music and the future one will never be that good as the old things :)...

  • @killerheretic Agreed! I was lucky enough to have lived during the period of time I consider to have been the best on earth! The 1960's, 70's & 80's! Love, optimism and knowing that laws weren't necessary to control everyone's behavior, because people used to be so much more civil, kind and decent to each other in those days- I feel bad for the young folks that will never know the wonderful music, excitement ,creativity and life of the best of the 20th century.

    Blessed 'Be

    Your Pal,

  • @killerheretic

    hmmmm...... it depends on the kind of music you listen to, this synthesizer-stuff from the 80's can be stressing, too ;-)

  • @yvi12345

    yeah, it can :), but most of the songs are ok form the 80's :D

  • @killerheretic I´m 26, i think it 10 years ago... a few songs of nowadays can be compared

  • @killerheretic

    you are right

  • @killerheretic and i am only 19 years old, and i agree with you :)

  • @killerheretic im 22 and i agree im allways listening to 80s stuff ultravox is awsome

  • One of the best songs ever ... and one of the most often covered too ... i dont have to mention midge`s voice do i ? ;-)

  • This song is very similar to the Russian anthem, no?

  • Seen these in Liverpool in 81 .......... 3 encores .... crowd wouldnt let them leave...... they blew the lid off the royal court........ PRICELESS

  • embraving song

  • The best :)

  • @BIGINSF I also thing so

  • Awesome song, but I prefer Edguy's cover.

  • Incredible song, although I prefer the Lunatica version this does epitomize the very essence of 80's pop.

  • 2:22 who is this ?

    is this Billy Currie ?

    Ultravox - Hymn = Top 3 of my 80s favourites !!

  • Very good.

  • DBSTF - Kingdom<3

  • Notice how back in the 80s, music video was a half-way decent artform : production values, a plot, structure. These days it's just a bunch of girls in bikinis dancing by the pool. Or a band onstage. It's more proof to me that popular music as an art form has gone backwards, not forwards, over the last 25 years.

  • @bunniesonprozac Well spoken! Exactly my opinion as well... :)

  • mmmh i love it! it give many good covers

    D-Block & S-Te-Fan - Kingdom (Hardstyle)

    Dan Jam Project - Hymn (HandsUp)

    The Stunned Guys - Hymn (Hardcore)

    ;)

  • TEMAZO!!

    Bailando a la luna de Valencia!

  • I'm 12 and adore Ultravox, saw them in Bristol (Return to Eden II) in April, absolutely amazing.

  • I love Ultravox, and at the age of 13, Still do!

  • epic tune.

  • Thanks för yesterday guys! So great to hear this live and sing along with. Had waited26 for that moment.

  • That's what I call the authentic 80's sound.This is,probably,the best song of the 80's,but noone would ever subscribe to that statement.Prove me wrong,fellows!

  • @Abbyssalom It is one of the greatest son of the 80! Totaly agree with you.

  • Ah man... it's just a perfect song. Even the remix by Caballero sounds good. Rare

  • Being a teen in the 80's was the greatest. So much great music. What happened? Music went to s*it in the mid 90's and after.

  • @BIGINSF You got that right....amen!

  • Woran erkennt man gute Songs??? In den er immer und immer wieder gecovert wird. ;P Und dieser wurde echt oft gecovert, da kann man ja nur SUPER zu sagen! *löl*

  • ...and a very handsome devil he is, too. Is that Sam Neill?

  • Such a brilliant song. Kind of makes me wish I was born 20-25 years earlier xD

  • they're part of my unless otherwise life

  • Lovely song! Lovely video!

    Check out this hymn which is totally different!

    Rawley Taylor's interpretations of the thoughts of a Baker in a village in Gotland...
