  • Fantastic voice and fab quiff,

  • One of my fav 80s videos...it has that eerie feel and look to it...kind of like "Here Comes the Rain Again" by the Eurythmics!

  • Wow, I grew up in the 80's and remember this song. Had totally forgotten about it till I heard it on the radio the other day so I looked it up. Funny, I never saw him as "handsome" back then but I definitely see it now. I also never realized back then how some times his voice sounds a little like Robert Palmer's and his facial expressions, especially in the beginning (0:25-0:50ish) when he looks down contemplatively and then up again while singing are very much the way Palmer sang.

  • Hap Birthday Paul....thank you for sharing your one of a kind voice with us

  • @codeguyqb64  because the people responsible who pick talent now a days don't know a thing about music.

  • Great video and awesome song.. The quality of the video was perfect for me i like my 80s videos with a hit of vhs quality to them.. gives the video more of that watching in the 80s feelings.

  • This is the video I remember! Thanks for posting. :D

  • Thumbs up if you still listen to your mixtapes from the 80s!

  • Love it !!!

  • One of my favorite songs from the 80's. Brings back lots of memories of lost loves.

  • 80's please come back and stay god do i miss this era kicked ass

  • I know I had his poster on MY bedroom wall back in the 80s and YES I would have loved to bear his children!!!!!!  LOL

  • Who is singing background vocals? Great song and video.

  • GREAT SONG

  • THE 80'S WAS A PERIOD OF FUZZY OPTIMISIM....ALMOST GLEEFUL AND AT THE SAME TIME MELONCHOLY HORSESHIT....

  • I really liked Paul Young, but as a vocalist myself, I was always a little concerned about that slight "choked" sound. Not sure if he just used it as an effect or if it was his technique. Is he still performing?

  • Très bon ça !!!

  • the 80s are the best memories of my life !

  • I was fortunate enough to be able to see Paul in concert when I was fifteen. My father was a DJ and brought me to see him. It was a great show and a great memory made for my father and me. Even though Paul was older than my father I still thought he was handsome and a great performer. I am sorry for his early passing. RIP Paul.

  • PINO PALLDINO YOU ARE A MYTH

  • the best video version for this song. period. it captures the mood and aura of this timeless classic. what an emotional song by PY. you can sense the passion and pain in his voice, the seaside wind and location is simply perfect. this is what a power ballad should sound and look like folks! the mighty 80's gone but it will never be forgotton....

  • ...Sonic Alchemy...

  • thanks for sharing this video agreed with all you stated in description..he is an awesome entertainer so much talent live shows are amazing check his live shows from the 80s pure showmanship <3 me some Paul and yes would have loved to gear his children sorry wayne lol.........

  • I wish I took notice for him back then. This song was always one of my favs now I am gonna get to know him more. GRHS

  • I loved Paul way back when and still do!!!:)

  • @anaquarian1..... I gave you a thumbs up strictly for the word "malamutes" LOL

  • Is it just nostalgia on my part or do these 80's tunes just beat the Hell out of most of the "music" produced since then?

  • Gothic R & B. Very cool.

  • This is my favorite video of the 1980's.

  • THE MAN ROCKS SAVING ANIMALS GOOD LOOKS AND ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF ALL TIME AND EVER ........

  • Cool video. Awesome upload. Thanks.

  • VIDEO ONE W/RICHARD BLADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow remember that show good old days!

  • @jasonbear72 RADIO ONE W/RICHARD BLADE is on satelite if you need a fix.

  • This song reminds me of a long lost love, from 1990, who she herself, reminded me of the 80's since she had a lot of cool early 80's mixtapes and she was the same age I was, growing up thru the 80's as a teen. Anyone I meet these days doesn't seem to compare to her, and this tears away at me, now I know what old people feel when they remember the events and music of their youth. We are becoming those old people now, slowly. We never thought it would ever happen. I want to go back.

  • @GrailcodeDotNet thank you for your words, I myself can relate to your words, I didn't grow up through the 80's, I was only a baby when this song came out , but I remember my sister listening to it, she died at a very young age, but your words summarized it all, we all have some one we yearn for, and this song really hits the heart, and you are so right we all seem to understand older people more and more as time demolishes us

  • Love the 80's, especially this song. Thanks for posting.

  • Thank god someone posted this version of the video. It is the one I remember from my childhood and have only seen the version where he and his girlfriend are breaking up and she is dancing etc. etc.....thanks for posting. It reminds me of better days when my life wasn't what seems to be one disapointing bummer after another.

  • Takes me back to a better time, at least in my life.

  • This song is deep! Full of soul. Oh, how I miss Paul Young.

    I've hurt myself once again, trying to sound like the female singer during her solo. Ouch.

  • wonderfull

    

  • I was a teen in the 80's and I always loved this song, but I never really paid much attention to what he looked like. I didn't know what I was missing. He kind of reminds me of Johnny Depp.

  • I forgot about this song. Thank you You Tube!

  • I've never seen this version of the song before, thanks for sharing. It looks like it was shot at Gunwalloe Church Cove in Cornwall (I know it well). Loved Paul Young in the 80s, seeing him in concert was quite the thrill for a 17 year old :-)

  • Thank you for this serene and calmer version of this video.

  • Paul did at least three different videos for this wonderful song. This one is easily my favourite.

  • @Babyhowdy233 Do you think after filming the second version and the record company said to make a third. I could see him throwing his hands up in the air being being like...come on guys....really?

  • @thegreatbungholio21

    I'll wager a bet that is exactly what Paul did!

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • Super pesma

  • I had forgotten how great this song was :)

  • @captainfantastic209 He put alot into his songs! Still love to hear him sing! :)

  • one of my fave,80s song,when it came out i had just lost someone i love,it was so fitting at that moment...paul young where are are you....

  • love this voice. why doesn't music like this still get made:? and those haunting vocals by the women are mesmerizing.

  • @codeguyqb64 They sound like sirens luring sailors to their doom in the deep blue sea.

  • Weird, this man should have been bigger more famous, he had a fantastic voice

  • This guy.... what a voice!

  • Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!

  • een van de songs die je nooit vergeet die altijd in je blijven ..bij je blijven

  • loved this song loved the video loved Paul......

  • loved this song loved the video loved Paul......

  • I miss the MTV days...I remember when they first aired...They use to show this video many times...Love this song!!

  • Brings back the good times when things didn't matter so much.

  • OMG! one of the best videos and sings of 80's!

  • Paul is so stinking sexy!!!!

  • I like the seaside video version of this song best.

  • It's timeless and send chills up me every time that I hear it.

  • i luv this song......i luv u always bryan...

  • I like this version more than the other. It is darker and captures the pain of the song....the loneliness...

  • Gr8 song. 1 of my favs. (Y)

  • This is the only version of the video I saw on American MTV (I realize there was at least one other). The wailing woman in the veil is both incredibly silly and extraordinarily haunting all at once (burned into my brain), which I think sums up the wonder of the 1980s. :-)

  • There is only one life to live, dont waste it on the wrong person

  • @14energy hard to do when you love some one, i been waiting now for over 25 years, and i love her to this day........................ ya sad

  • @jimmylee23 Last of the true gentlemen. I know it hurts and it never goes away.

  • @Allanlegacy43

    Exactly.

    This song isn't (just) about "missin' your booty," or something equally blatant and lazy in thought (however true in sentiment).

  • WHERE was he when filming this? The beaches of Dover? The rock of Gibraltar? I know he's a Brit (or possibly Welsh?)

    This video stayed in my mind because the beaches looked cold, and with no sand, like I imagined England to be.

  • I dedicate this to my mother Willie Pearl Jones.We had so much fun when this came out.Mom...please come back and stay for good this time.I Love You,Daniel

  • Wow, remember this song as a very impressionable 18 year old at the time. Now that I am 46 with a lot of years under the bridge is is even more poignant. Amazing that Mike and the Mechanics had 2 such incredible vocalists as Paul Young and Paul Carrack.

  • @joendeb640 Actually, a different Paul Young was with Mike and the Mechanics.

  • @joendeb640

    That was a different Paul Young to this gentleman. Paul Young from Mike & The Mechanics is sadly gone now, died from cancer.

  • Underrated singer. Thanks for posting.

  • One of the most underrated singers of all time. One of his best songs.

  • His best song for sure.

  • Awesome. The memories.

  • This song I will always love listening to. When it came out, it kind of marked the beginning of my infatuation with those cute English pop musicians. Ahhhh, the 80's, I miss your music!

  • Comment removed

  • I remember this video as being more colorful and him standing on the edge of a cliff. Is there another one? God, it's gorgeous in any case. The female vocal is amazing too. I'm so in awe that I found it after all these years. Thank you, GL

  • I always thought this song had a wonderful, "haunting" sound to it. Perfect video for it. Amazing vocals by Paul as usual.

  • 1986...

  • The girl singing by the sea is sort of reminiscent of a sirens song.

  • I thought there was a video version of this song next to the sea ... with funny coloration ... thanks for posting.

  • Anyone know why Paul made 3 different videos for this song?

  • @lurch321 It was de rigueur for the day when this came out to have more than one video for a song. I recall that Yes had 8 versions of a hit song they had out at one time. As for this video, it's my favorite one for this song since it's the most haunting.

  • @wildturkey1960 This is my fav version too!

  • @lurch321 I think that it fits the song to a 'T'. But, that's just my not so humble opinion...

    :)

  • He looks so young,,, and his voice is still great.

  • this is the version of the video that i grew up looking at and love

  • It was this video that made me fall in love with Paul Young. I must have been 11 or 12 at the time. This was pre Johnny Depp... Actually, he may be the reason I went ape for Johnny, Johnny reminded me of a younger Paul. lol This has remained one of my all time favorite songs to this day. Thank you so much for posting this video.

  • this song reminds me of my highschool sweetheart, after we broke up my mom said to me 'if you love someone set them free, if they dont come back set them on fire

  • @CollectorOfMusic ROFLMAAAAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @CollectorOfMusic I went through the same thing. She dump me, leaving me brokenheart for many years. I saw her many years later, she was pregmnant, had a three year old daughter, and a bad marriage! Her stepfather tought I wasn't good enough for her. I am glad he thought that way, I am better off with my lovely wife of 22 years. Thenk you God!

  • @CollectorOfMusic Your mom is a very wise woman!

  • @CollectorOfMusic Your mom is a very wise woman...set them on fire...LOL!!

  • @CollectorOfMusic hahahahahah I like that.

  • @CollectorOfMusic

    HAHA! 

  • @CollectorOfMusic lol "if they dont come back set them on fire"

    ahahahahah on fire!

  • @CollectorOfMusic He he he... your Mom has a great sense of humor. ;) That is an example of true 'Mother wit'. Bravo, Lancer

  • Nostalgie ...

    Et la nostalgie ça pique...

  • i've known this song since I was a child, never gets me bored. He got top with the one ... really the early 80's masterpiece ;

  • Spikadelic hair! Come back and stay for good this time!

  • Dave Porter and I used to like this video. he is long gone, but not this memory. Virginia Beach 1983

  • Normandy for ever ...

  • I had the worst crush on him when I was 7, after I saw him on tv...when this song came out.

    It still makes me feel weird, lol.

    He's a year younger than my Mom, lol and she's a young Mom!

  • these days singers yell and scream alot of gibberish nobody can understand. its nice to go back and hear somebody who can really sing for a change. it would be great if the kids singing now would listen to paul and learn something!

  • @dwhall0963

    Couldn't agree more!

  • i was away from the love of my live for 24 years and finally were back for good this time.Joao Mauricio,te amo muito meu amor.beijos

  • @KungfuTravis is my sons screen name,my name is Anesia.sorry for that travis

  • one of the best songs ever!!!!!!

  • I had a HUGE Paul Young poster behind my bedroom door. I had a big crush on him back in the day. My Grandma visited one time and used my room to stay in and it scared the wits outta her haha. But afterward she said "what a NICE LOOKING young fellow". Good eye Grandma!. Paul was YUMMY with a spoon back then!

  • Don't worry your friend will come back....@alcaholicdemon

  • this is the song I considered this to be Paul Young's "breakthrough" song in the United States...even though it peaked at #22 on the Hot 100 chart in April of 1984 it was still (to me) one of the most memorable songs of 1984 and much congrats to Paul for going all the way to #1 in the summer of 85 with "Everytime You Go Away"

  • great hair :P

  • keep on drinking, I mean dreaming that he will be back and stay this time, jajajajajaja

  • wow..i see the real emotions in his face! Great song!!!!

  • good song... and it takes some guts to walk in the wind with that mullet.

  • ha ha i liked that !

  • I use to dig this song back in the day. Its one of those songs that you totally forget about for years and then when you hear it again it just knocks you nostalgic for a good moment.

  • my man has been missing for 15 years,i listen to this song every nite and pray for his return.

  • @alcaholicdemon1 this song has been pretty well done. It keep me believing in love and keeps me waiting for better times to come .

  • @alcaholicdemon1 cuz hes died

  • love, Love, LOVE this song! A great classic!! : )

  • this video is exactly how it was when it was released. supposed to look that way with little tinges of color etc. i love this song. the other video where he plays the stalker, now that was weird. great song.

  • @mollygirlmn You're right, I remember when this video was first shown on Friday Night Videos. It was released as a no glasses needed 3D video. I did look pretty cool. Better on TV

  • mollygirlmn, agreed! Paul Young could stalk me if he so wishes any day ! ha ha really good video I loved him in the 1908s.

  • This song was no.1 in Germany^^

  • I love Paul Young, this video is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

    Jessie.

  • YES HE IS GOOD!!!!

  • classic.. one of my favorites from the 80s

  • YES!!!!

  • CHEAH!!

  • this version was often used in vh-1 classic as a u.s. version

  • I still love him...

  • 'Hmmmmm....'guess his hands got cold at the end there.

    ~D.B.

  • Was this filmed at the Isle of Wight? Beautiful country Britain.

  • this is my theme song,i been waiting on my lover for nearly 16 years,i guess he never will come back.i cant get over him

  • the 50's i heard were great,music i mean....the 60's were amazing musically......the 70's speak volumes about the amazing talent in the music industry then.....but the 80"s.....what is it that made this decade the most incredible,the most vibrant exqusite music of all...simply an amazing time for music and the people who were young then

  • I grew up with lately 80's music...whole 80s were awesome and astounding for me. It's been remarkable times, btw.. but paradoxically always loved songs released in 1st half of this great decade. I think that today's stuff is often not to compare with those years..music has become more artificial and commercialized now.Sometimes I wish I lived in 80s again

  • the great songs ARE ALL IN THE 80`s no CUESTIONS!

  • Ain't that the truth!!

  • yeah its true

  • Amazing I never heard this song before a year ago (2009), but since has become one of my fave songs. Love it!

  • I love it!!! Thanks paul!!!

  • wonderful ! love his voice

  • UNFORGETTABLE !!!

    WONDERFUL !!!

  • I wish guys nowadays looked like Paul Young and the lovely Ben from The Cars, or Richard from Mr Mister.....they had such a great style which the guys today do not have....it's all about being ''hard'' these days......

  • Yes, one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The female backing vocals remind of a different song from the 70's.. One i can't recall right now..

  • The chorus sings: DID YOU WRITE THE BOOK OF LOVE and EGO AND YOU LOST.

  • Nope...EGO, ENVY, LUST...

  • @lancer89032 oh Ok thats what they are saying

  • i was in high school back in 1983 in costa rica

  • Wow... Where was I in 1983? I missed this song but sure found it now. How great is this song and video. I am speechless.

  • I only heard this song once when it first came out,I liked it.Thanks for posting.

  • this song is far better than the other one where he is in the flat.....it's more haunting and that girl looks scarey in that veil!! what a song....!!!!!

  • GeneralLee1956 states that this was ripped from a tape. IIRC, this was just as grainy when it was shown on MTV. I think that is how it was made to look.

  • @wildturkey1960,

    I was curious about that. Thanks.

    As an aside, what does IIRC mean? Haven't been able to appreciate abbreviations...

  • IIRC...

    If

    I

    Remember

    Correctly.

  • Okay.

    Thanks.

  • Hey, no problem. I had to ask about that myself when I first saw it.

  • Definitely a great tune. Paul always had a very distinct voice and seemed to sing with such passion. One of my favorite tunes of the 80's. Long live the 80's...

  • i looooooooooooooove him!!!

  • wow for me the 80s are a mind set. i cant go on. i was in my 20s. what a great time.

  • @johhhhhh63

    The eighties were a fantastic era indeed!

  • Great song!!

  • It's nice to grow up in a pop culture that had these songs. I wonder what memories would bring the songs of late.

  • temazo!!!..(translate: a Big Song)

  • I wish could GO BACK..to the 80z....and Stay For Good!..LOL...LOVE THIS SONG!...back when music was waaaay better!

  • VICE CITY STORIES! i remember my cousin playin this i u se to hate the song
