One of the better songs from the 80's!

Great song to listen to when your excercising or driving down the road...

[SPORTMAT0Z0IDE]

SOY HOMOFOBIKO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[basherman69]

By the way, I love the song.

[basherman69]

I agree with the rant regarding WB being so possessive over the rights of their decades old music. I tried to upload a 11year old Christina Aguilera video onto my Facebook wall, and I got flagged for copyright violation. Yet. only a few months earlier, I uploaded Tamia's "Stranger in My House" successfully.

Damn corporations are getting too greedy over old music. Screw them all! Their New World Order is going down!

[andresanderson306]

my sisters and my brothers!!!!!!!!

[andresanderson306]

words get so easily broken

[ricanariel]

i love 80s progresive music

[grandmastercroft]

love the ps to warner music

[donnydcyclops]

good song.

[kakumah]

I like his voice.

[DaveyJonesesLocka]

I'm straight and I love this song. So what?

[Diamondlovebaby]

Thank God I was old enough to appreciate the 80's live!

[LilKittyFreak101]

Wonderful Song!!

[RishaJay]

They need to use thoes "CHAINS OF LOVE" and lock him up!

[velveetaslingshot]

Oh man do I miss those days.....

[ABCLakey2012]

loved this song! Wow, takes me back. Thanks for sharing and keep hunting down those videos.

[london19657]

Amen to the WBros comment. Anyhoo, in response to crap video comment, yes, it is crap. I'm 48... back in the good old days, a video was something to distract your eyes while you enjoyed the song. Close your eyes and listen again. Beautiful music.oxoxoooxox

[iw6bnd]

i like erasure and depeche mode,fantastic

[clinschen]

why do gay people have the best music to offer?



[delcarmengh]

i love this song..

[elfowp]

I love the song AND THE VIDEO!

[fortylove64]

didn't Andy also have a hand in YAZ....Upstairs at Eric's is an amazing album

[KjunMermaid]

Who cares what sexual orientation anybody is in regards to this music? Jeez! I am a str8 woman & have no desire to know if any band member is str8 or gay!! Their MUSIC is the topic & it is FABULOUS!!! Give 'em a break!~ I don't give a crap what their desires are! It is between them & their maker! Stop bullying the world when it isn't even the topic! Erasure ROX!!!! :D

[Fu7ur3Pr00f]

@KjunMermaid The fact that Erasure is gay is kind of important. I mean this song, listen to the lyrics, it's litterally about...being gay!!! "Looking out for others, our sisters and our brothers", who do you think he's referring to? And when he refers to the Chains of Love (as in the song title), he's saying "Together we'll break these chains of love", meaning that society has forbidden their love, acceptance, and public displays of affection.

[KjunMermaid]

@Fu7ur3Pr00f ....again, I love the MUSIC....it's not as sexually explicit & disgusting as the crap the media shove down our throats when we turn on the TV!!! Jeez! If "stars" cannot keep their clothes on, I'm not gonna pay to see the movie...I'm by NO means a prude either, I just don't need smut in my face. These guys sing & play nice music, I don't read into the lyrics for hidden messages either. Stop stressing yourself, it's up to God Almighty to judge us all.

[saddlesablazin]

@Fu7ur3Pr00f

Great point. I just wanted to point out that only Andy is gay. Vince is not. It's kinda cool how Vince was totally cool with Andy expressing a lot of these views back when it meant they would sell less records. He did it because it's the right thing to do.

[cjs0071]

Great song!

[Ultra80s]

"Gay."

Yeah? Well, you bobbed your head to the tune.  Don't kid yourself. This is good music and you know it.

[fire482]

this was very popular when i came out. lots of memories at G.D.I. on the river in Memphis, Tn.

[drinkingsand]

Great video, thanks for putting it back up for us, submitter!

[0bag]

what song of erasure is the best.!!

(please tellme 5) :D

[herkamp]

@0bag 1- stop 2-chorus 3- drama 4- always 5- star ...but there´s more than 5 good songs. Check the CD named "Pop! - The best of Erasure" ( or some like this..I don´t remember tre exactly name)

[0bag]

@herkamp Thaanks.!

[0bag]

@herkamp Thankss.!

[margotclaudine]

I love PS fuck you Warner Music Group! Great video/song. Thx for posting!

[MiGrandeCazzo]

sweet casio!!!

[Marmoo73]

Saw Erasure in Thetford Forest (UK) last night

Superb performance

This stuff will live for ever!

[ButtersLongfellow]

@Marmoo73 luckylucky you



[bristowboy20]

I sure do like some weird songs... lol

[iheartsupernatural]

thank u for adding this video! i love it!!!!!

[behappy3373]

At the beginning I didn't liked this band at all. Today, is one of my favorites. I guess because I miss the music from the 80's lol!

[LoneTinaja]

As we know,the scourge of AIDS was the

inspiration for this song. We shouldn't

forget that AIDS is still ravaging many

regions in sub-Sahara Africa.

[chipdrusano]

I could hear Lykke Li doing a cover on this!

[toniv77]

@audreybradley No if you, or anyone else, wants this song, you can BUY it!!!

Or better yet, buy the whole "The Innocents" album and you get lots of great songs! :-)

[mortygirly]

@toniv77 i did; on cassette and cd. neither came with video

[hojofan]

Erasure is amazing. I've always loved Andy Bell's voice. Thanks for uploading this! A thmbs up and faved! Peace2U, Alex

[merlin17022008]

einfach wunderbar und zeitlos schön

[DynoMite09]

lead singer looks like the guy from Summer Heights HIgh

[kregger]

agreed

[Doteatsurpants]

A big fuck you to WMG :D

[kingb74]

love the 80s

[MrNighthawkie]

@kingb74 who doesn't?

[vintagegirl1922]

I REMEMBER THOSE YEARS

[illinoy]

yeah!!!!!!

[PSMsoldier]

Damn, this song brings back memories.

[lightningbuster]

Jeez how 80's can you get?

[chassidy0789]

I was pregnant with my daughter when this song  came out and i loved it

[thegrammarfairy]

And suddenly at 2:05 he's wearing a copacabana / cancan / pinata / male figure skater outfit.

If I hadn't lived through it myself, I wouldn't believe we actually lived through the 80s not realizing how gay this stuff was.

[thegrammarfairy]

Otis, I'm grateful for the posting, and your tags are priceless.

[dnewhope777]

This song was in my head for some reason, so I had to come look it up and give it a listen.

[thewordthatpierces]

I remember the first time I saw this about 10yrs ago on VH1 Classic, and I thought it was super cheesy, but you know what, I NEVER forgot it. :D Love Erasure. :D

God Bless ~Amy

[risefm]

Rocking the Casio and Robot Unicorn Attack. If you feel the need to say anything else then face punch yourself with a hammer.

[zeddblue]

really bad audio quality.

[PhysStud2006]

This song puts me in such a "feel good" mood.

[jki9275]

Way ahead of their time. Still LOVE Erasure.

[ashtrayheart73]

ERASURE BEST BAND OF THE 80'S YAYYYYYYYYYY

[2710Pocahontas]

@ashtrayheart73 Don't forget about 'Tears for Fears'!

[ashtrayheart73]

@2710Pocahontas i like them too but i think erasure best band of 80's i still play them most days ;D

[thewordthatpierces]

@2710Pocahontas Anyone who forgets Tears for Fears must have gotten amnesia. ;P

God Bless ~Amy

[bluemeanie81]

wow this brings me back!! i was only 6 when this song came out but i remember thinking it was the best thing ever. still do!

[JohnnyLovely2]

LOL THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS LOOK AT HIS BUTT LOL !!!

[tuminator30]

sums up the 80's.Great song

[chipdrusano]

UbiSoft should use this song for its Just Dance franchise for Wii.

[levisguy53]

dude sounds like a chick

[sbonner002]

I'm obsessed with this song and 'Respect'. Wish I could time warp back to the 80s!!

[sbonner002]

I'm obsessed with this song!!

[wkjewell]

great music...STILL!

[gcool18]

Yes thank God for Erasure. I agree. Plus if he had stayed with Depeche Mode all their albums after Speak & Spell wouldn't have been ask dark in tone.

[neosandy]

THANK YOU OTIS!!! YOU ROCK!!!

[PATRI1967]

amo esta canción... la bailaba en la mejor y más felíz época de mi vida... año 1989

[spiff2268]

Not only is this song great but the album it's from, "The Innocents", is one of those rare albums where EVERY song is great.

[ebonpaladin]

@spiff2268 gonna go eBay that, good lookin out.

[ebonpaladin]

This is one of my favorite songs of that decade...never knew who sang it. Good stuff.

[chipdrusano]

It would be cool if The Ting Tings did a cover on this.

[Laura4817]

Love these songs but their videos are terrible.

[neosandy]

@Laura4817

video killed the radio star :-)

[snidelywhiplash]

@Laura4817 You know, for 1987 this was actually a GREAT video.

[stetion]

i do believe it's may 1988 !! :)

[aeram87]

@Laura4817 And so are their album covers... But yeah, I guess my favorite is and always be "A Little Respect"

[thewordthatpierces]

@Laura4817 True! But you know what's funny? This video was my first exposure to Erasure. :D And I never forgot them 10yrs later and I started listening to more of their music b/c of it, it might be bad, but iy stuck in my brain for 10yrs! :D

[TOADMAN233]

Hi, I agree to some extent but it was the 80s that i was made. The video is a lot bit aged. Back then it was probably cooler

[electronippon]

2012 Chains of Love

[damien19735]

Andy Bell's voice is one of the best in the business...even live. Thank God Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode and Erasure was formed. 2 genius bands instead of one...will always love Erasure...

[80sgirlathart]

@damien19735 i agree. ithis song rocks!!! anyone that doesnt like this song.......doesnt belong on this page!

[xpansion2012]

@damien19735 Clarke's work with Yazoo between the two is genius as well and really set the stage for Erasure and others to follow.

[damien19735]

@xpansion2012 I like anything that Clarke touches, but I still think Erasure is best. :) Thanks for the reply!

[thewordthatpierces]

@damien19735 Indeed!!!!! Love Erasure and Andy's voice!!! :D

[damien19735]

@thewordthatpierces I know right? I love Andy's voice, he totally sings to the heavens! I love Vince Clarke's work as well. Thanks for the reply. :)

[whimsicalocean]

@damien19735 and Yaz too

[dmode007]

@damien19735 you forgot yazoo, awesome band too :(

[NARCOLEPTICpediphile]

hahaha fucking groovey god damnit

p.s. i was concieved to erasure at least thats what my pops told me hahahahah how bad ass is that shit ....

and some how i got into them with out him showing me them and he laughed cuz it was strange that i would like them cuz i grew up a punk rocker kid

[deliriousweare]

@NARCOLEPTICpediphile damned.... besides erasure I like punk rock, too ;) I think we can stand this paradoxon. It's just great music.

[JonMcElectro]

The Synth Vince's using in the Video is a,"Casio CZ 101."

[LadyMacalla]

what a beautiful way to be woken up to this morning on the radio............I LOVE ERASURE WITH MY HEART............XXXXXXXXX

[Star042181]

thanks so much for uploading! =D

[deliriousweare]

its so fascinating to re-discover this old stuff here. I guess, erasure will become my new old favourite...

[Wesleech]

wow can you not love that "UP!" high vocal?

[Wesleech]

how can you not like this song? i dont understand...

[sailormn1]

good for you. i am always searching for them. Today was first time i ever saw the video for stop.

[talus007]

Wild video concept...sort of Peter Pan meets Hellraiser.

[jase7474]

Always liked Erasure. :)

[suggestedusername]

catchy little tune. too bad most erasure songs suck dick.

[blainebill39]

@suggestedusername

That's rather amusing because I as well as Andy Bell of Erasure

might just take that as a compliment!

Cheers!
