Hard to believe that this music is 30 YEARS OLD! I'm 20 and a 90's kid (if I'm on this page jamming out, I promise there's hope for my generation!) but I find something about this particular musical era to be just plain magical. I so wish I could've got to experience the 80's...I'm definitely jealous of you all!
These are far and away the best comments I've ever seen on a YouTube video. No bullshut politics and prejudices; just good vibes and bittersweet realness, like this song. I love you people!!
In about 1982, the local, hip FM station broadcast live from one of the few nightclubs in the rural area I grew up in. One night I was up, listening to the live broadcast and I grabbed my cousin's cassette recorder and recorded this song as it was being sent out live and I listened to the recording over and over, yet I didn't know who sang the song or it's title. I found out 3 yrs ago that Peter Godwin sang this song titled Images of Heaven. Thank you Mr Godwin. The arragement deserves a Gmy
What was the deal with synth pop records always having that extra instrumental verse and chorus at the top of the song? Seems like EVERYBODY did that.
When I was trying to get over an ex I started listening to my parent their cd's. This was on one of those collection CD's. Really hard to find they said, apparently it is (to dl that is). Glad I found it though ;D
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG BEYOND BELIEF. I could not remember the name of this song for years and last year I finally remembered it. Its one of my favorite 80s songs. My favorite memories of my life are when I think back to being a teenager and in my twenties during this time. Thank you to whoever posted this
I remember this so well.Does any body remember the Holy City Zoo in Birmingham.Andy Grays club.By the way,i had the Rum Runner sign when it closed in Braod street.Ive still got bits of it in a bag. (;o)
I LOVED this song growing up!!! It was rare so a real treat whenever I got to hear it!! I used to think it said Gimme just a little!!!!!(Not...Images of heaven!!!)LOL
I finally got to see this video about 10 years ago on a program called The Alternative which aired on Sat. nights around 2 AM..............I loved this song back in the 80's !!
When midi based synthesizers with programmable memory hit the scene, New Wave was born. It was at times very bizarre, but it was the last era of truly creative music in the commercial arena.
It's sad that today, synthesizers are mostly just samplers pretending to be other instruments instead of devices creating new, unique and original sounds like back in the hey day of New Wave music.
@mnbme Actually, this track was produced in 1981, and MIDI equipped synthesizers were not commercially available until late 1983/early 1984. If anything, MIDI (along with the DX7) was the DEATH of New Wave and creative synthesis in popular music.
@lightpolite The first step towards the computerization of synthesizers was recallable programs. It mad sounds easily reproducible and performance more viable and reproducible. The second step was computer control, ala MIDI.
The DX7 sucked (because FM synthesis lacks life), but the computerization of synthesizers and midi brought us Depeche Mode, Ultravox and some of the finest New Wave artists and was the birth or creative synthesis. Samplers were the death of that era.
Actually, the reason the DX7 sucked was because it was so complicated to program, coupled with the user interface. It was difficult to figure out how to create new sounds, so most people ended up using the pre-programmed patches that came with the synth, or on one of the various memory cartridges you could buy. That's why in the mid 80's, practically every record had that exact same synth bass and "electric piano" sounds, both of which stunk.
@Kohntarkosz Yes, but can you imagine this song without the synth bass and "electric piano" sounds? That's part of what makes this song so endearing to us 80's kids is because of that distinctive 1980's sound. Take it away and it would lack that joyful, sweet, happy and innocent sound.
LOVE this era, and I totally agree w/ Baldoki and foodhipster! Other faves not included in americandannyboy1's list are SpandauBallet, Ultravox, Psycadelic Furs, and the list can go on forever. Pretty innocent times, with music being just that...good music and crazy 'new romantic dancing, not all the crap that's out there now. Scantily clad women, pelvic-grinding, gangsta-garbage. Bring back the 80's!!!! Any thoughts on DuranDuran's latest release?
I have many friends going back to that time in the UK, Ireland, Europe and yes we listened to much of the same music from The Cure to ACDC to many others! I teach in England in the summers and I teach with so many teachers from all over the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The ones over 30 and 40 listened to much of the same music as I did from that era of the 80s. I know there were bands of there that did not make it to the USA of course but many did! Why are you being so divisive?
I miss this era. The USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well as much of Europe, listened to the same music in English! MTV was great then too. MTV lost in starting around 1990 and never recovered especially after 1992 to 1995. Very innocent. It was a time when we were allowed to be just kids!
@americandannyboy1 I disagree, the U.S. has never been up to date with world music. In the 80's MTV in the U.S. only played Rap and Rock & Roll. Those two types of musics were the mainstream, and very few British or European artists received any air-play in the U.S. Radio had the same format as well. No one has heard of Cliff Richard or Robbie Williams in the U.S.............
@ScooterYamaha Not really, when MTV first launced there were no US traditional Rock artists with readily available music videos. So MTV had to utilize available videos, such as those British artists already had. That's why Billboard's top 20 was radically different in 1982 than it was in 1980. MTV launched New Wave in the US, and was responsible for the subsequent pop culture of the 1980's. Also Robbie Williams is hardly older than me, and I was a kid in the 80's

@turbot1187 WLIR a new wave/alternative station was first to play new wave in N.Y. in 1980. They were cutting edge., they would play the clash, joan jett, ect. then in mid 1982 they went all alternative., but MVT was also there. I will never forget seeing the Pys. furs playing love my way on MTV all you hear in the backround was this amazing new sound. That xylophone beat through the whole song.
@ScooterYamaha That's not true. I grew up in the NY area and the British New Wave was very popular! There were two stations back in the 80's. One from Long Island, the other in New Jersey that played only New Wave Modern Rock like Peter Goodwin, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, the Cure, Eurasia, Dead or Alive, Flock of Seagulls, New Order among others. MTV in the USA didn't really play rap until the early 90s. The 80's had so much of the New Wave with Pop rock during the day and metal all night.
The best sound, I dig the post apocalyptic theme and sound. The Fixx made a career out of this kind of sound/vibe. Gladly, there was no apocalypse in 2000. :-)
What a fukin tune man. I grew up in that era. I was 20 then and now I just run this music to my videos of me playing hockey back in the 80s love it man. New Wave Rocked. De pech mode the cure the fix the cure was unreal
Nice to hear this again, though it sucks that the original video keeps getting lifted off of Youtube because of the freakin' copyright issues. That really sucks.
I first heard this song when I was 10, in 1982. My mother was a big fan of it. Every time it came on the radio, she ran into my room, grabbed me by the hand, and had me listen too. I liked it! Then we never heard it again after that. Until now! Since then my taste in music has changed a lot. I am now 38. Thanks for posting! :)
this song reminds of all the house parties I went to during the 80's. I was in my teens and it was an awesome time to be a teenager. Some of the best memories are from this era.
If anyone here liked Images Of Heaven, Emotional Disguise, Baby's In The Mountains, any of my 80's tracks, well I'm trying to get Universal to reissue them all. To "persuade" them I'm looking to Find My Fans and bring them together on my Peter Godwin Facebook fanpage (PeterGodwinFans). So please join me- and spread the word!! Thanks! :)) ♥
I've been searching after this song ever since spring of 2009 after i heard it in a YouTube vid, but no description of which song it was, And today I found it !!!!!!!!!!!!
...Im so glad xD
Thank you so much for uploading !!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES EVER
yep, "New Wave" was applied to anything that didn't fit in the "Rock", "Disco" and "R&B" catogories. However, I tended to favor anything the reviewers and critics threw in this catogory!
This was (IS) an excellent tune!!!! Also check out Bill Nelson's "Flaming Desire" released around the same time. Brings back alot of good 82-83 downtown N.Y.C memories!!!!
@pilatso hell yea... going to astor place at 300 am to get my mohawk fixed up and then to washington square park to hang with the skaters and my old punk crew...the village was the place to be back then.. GREAT TIMES GREAT TUNES
@thesmogmankills OMG...i remember Astor place...and remember the record store on St. Marks place ? Good times at washington square park, no worries, not a care...wish i could go back in time.
@pilatso i spent manyyyy years hanging out down at the record store on st marks and trash de vaudeville and star magic and every store on 8th street and then moved on to hangin on st marks..damm good old days i miss them wish i could go back to those days also
80's new wave rocks, I remember this song while playing Atari and all the girls where dancing to this in the background.Innocent times for me,the good old days.
@wasupbish I agree. Man I was 15 in 1982 and I hate to say this but being 15 at that time was some of the best days of my life. It was great. That era from about 1981 to 1985 was an amazing time for music and to be a teen. The video games were primitive compared to todays but in some ways I'd say it was the golden age of video gaming.
@sellyoursol sounds to me you are about my age. My niece is 20 and she of course was not around in those days but she loves the music of that era a lot. She likes current stuff but she says that the music today pales in comparison to that of the early '80s and this is coming from a young person who knows what's current and popular. Something to be said about our era.
@gretscher Well put!! Speaking of 20 year olds,i remember on an early episode of Malcolm In The Middle way back in 2000,the oldest sibling,Francis,had the radio on and it was playing 80s new wave music like this and changes the channel in frustration by snarling out "RRRNNNG! I'M SICK OF THIS 80S CRAP!!!" What the fuck does that Asshole know about 80s music?! 80S MUSIC RULES!!!
@gretscher i was the same age and when u heard a certain group like flock of seagulls.adam ant,peter godwin,abc etc... u knew right away who they were no questions asked.now everbody sounds the same.
@BikerDad49 aah another New Yorker .... I remember when this came out on WLIR cranking it up and listening to the Barry ravioli"s show on there and he always played this song and i cant even remember how many weeks this song was the scream of the week damm music kicked ass back then

Wow. Loved this song.
New Wave? I don't think so. No one really knew what new wave was anyhow. LOL!

yep, "New Wave" was applied to anything that didn't fit in the "Rock", "Disco" and "R&B" catogories. However, I tended to favor anything the reviewers and critics threw in this catogory!

This reminds me of the New York club scene in the early eighties. Three HO's and an eight-ball! That was the time!

80's new wave rocks, I remember this song while playing Atari and all the girls where dancing to this in the background.Innocent times for me,the good old days.

@wasupbish I agree. Man I was 15 in 1982 and I hate to say this but being 15 at that time was some of the best days of my life. It was great. That era from about 1981 to 1985 was an amazing time for music and to be a teen. The video games were primitive compared to todays but in some ways I'd say it was the golden age of video gaming.

@sellyoursol sounds to me you are about my age. My niece is 20 and she of course was not around in those days but she loves the music of that era a lot. She likes current stuff but she says that the music today pales in comparison to that of the early '80s and this is coming from a young person who knows what's current and popular. Something to be said about our era.

@gretscher Well put!! Speaking of 20 year olds,i remember on an early episode of Malcolm In The Middle way back in 2000,the oldest sibling,Francis,had the radio on and it was playing 80s new wave music like this and changes the channel in frustration by snarling out "RRRNNNG! I'M SICK OF THIS 80S CRAP!!!" What the fuck does that Asshole know about 80s music?! 80S MUSIC RULES!!!
