  • Muzak..........For those who worked retail

  • great song..even now sounds great

  • Nice to see again, thank you.

  • This song helps me! Life is not a rush - enjoy it - have hope and faith... Thanks for the tears of refreshment!

  • Thank you very much for uploading this.

  • Basia Trzetrzelewska is grea, very talented singer. I wish to play or sing a song with her.

    By the way I have the same name like her son - Mikołaj.

    Greetings to all fans all over the world from me, from Poland. :)

  • nice video, great song

  • Katy Perry...Eat Your Heart Out!

  • Nice, thanks

  • Nice little adult contemporary blast from the past. This song always reminds me of walking around shopping malls with my mom, when I was 9. I always thought it had a very tasty, but wallpaperish, kinda vibe to it.

  • darn..i've been watching VH1 Classic for 2-3 years and only yesterday i saw this singer! =// And thought it's my duty to have a look in the internet to find out what a woman has such a wonderful voice! :O

  • Her voice has such a flawless european tone. She should have been bigger in the states. The music is first rate.

  • @gtrwarriordon She is noted for possessing a wide vocal range, approximately three octaves that span from contralto to soprano tessituras, as well as her singular jazz-influenced stylings and multi-layered harmonies. In 1989 her second album, London Warsaw New York, sold almost two million units including more than one million in the U.S. and featured another Top 30 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, "Cruising for Bruising".

  • @gtrwarriordon London Warsaw and New York also included Stevie Wonder's "Until You Come Back to Me" and "Baby You're Mine", and became top Contemporary Jazz Album of the year beating grammy award winner Quincy Jones.She withdrew from the recording industry in 1998 citing the death of her mother. She retook her career only in the past couple of years. She's still amazing, I look forward to hearing more from her.

  • @seriouslyinsanediva I hope she's still playing with Danny and Peter White. I always wondered why she faded away. I hope to hear more from her also.

  • What an unappreciated talent Basia was/is.

    Would've loved to've heard her record with less electronic gadgetry and more with acoustic instruments.

    Gorgeous voice.

  • that piano part is best

  • What a great memory of when we were young. Thank you.

  • This is as perfect and flawless a music video can be! And there's nothing '80's about it whatsoever. It's timeless, and the performance, framing, editing and execution is just terrific! And Basia looks glorious!

  • @JimmBailey thanks man....yes

  • @JimmBailey I have to disagree with ya on this one..yes, timeless music, awesome voice, but the video is definitely late 80's early 90's..check out the man dancing w/ the broom!

  • 3:15 The original sexy sax man!!

  • Comment removed

  • Not concerned where she's from, but I love her music. Her and Swing Out SIster preceded themselves. If they were producing albums of this soulful jazz now, they'd be of epic proportions.

  • still remember hearing this song for the first time...nearly drove off the road...absolutely blows me away

  • awesome voice

  • Basia`s voice, music and the soul of the woman transcend mere "country". Her voice touches the soul! She is a gift from God!

  • Does anyone know the name of the guitarist in this video?

  • my autistic daughter loves this song and so do i i dedicate this song to her CHRISTINA LIVE LONG IN CHRIST LOVE MOMMY

  • Oh God I miss this song. It was smooth, sweet, completely mellow

  • I START TO PRACTICE THIS SONG HAHAHA,,IM MALE BUT IM COMFIDENT TO SING THIS,,,

  • One of the classiest songs ever recorded.....unfortunately the days when good music like this ruled the airwaves are nothing but a long-lost memory now.

  • Thanks for this! I love Basia. Haven't listened to her in a long time. I need to get my cds out.

  • Simply awesome!!!

  • 'a time when MTV played videos'

    I thought that was just in my dream!

  • @Sharmilka Could you imagine MTV playing this now!!!!! The staff there would probably make fun of it and call it easy listening!!!! As a matter of fact, MTV, which stands for MUSIC Television, doesn't even really play MUSIC as much as it used to

  • Basia has been recording and touring again in recent years, first with a reformed Matt Bianco group (that's the name of the group -- there is no person named Matt Bianco) and as a "solo" act with a band. The Matt Bianco album is highly recommended for Basia fans. I've seen her in concert a couple times over the past few years, in a small venue where I could sit about 10 feet away from her (literally). She still has a great voice!

  • Oh my.... Basia was my teenage soundtrack, especially the Time and Tide album. She was drop dead gorgeous!! Amazing voice, thanks for uploading this gem!

  • Got this LP lately and I love it. It is quality music and this track Time & Tide is a fantastic song. Sounds like a Stevie Wonder song! She is a great singer. I got the first Matt Bianco LP and then stumbled upon the first Basia LP. Music today is so bad compared to this! I feel sorry for the kids listening to crap!

  • Sing it Basia :) Wore her albums out.

  • 240p never sounded so good.

  • I Looooove this song !!

    Even when it wasn't popular !

  • Rebecca Black has gotten so much better!!!!

  • classic are forever!... :D

  • Basia never gets old at both her songs and looks.

  • What a voice !! probably the best young female singer of her time, her backup vocals alone are stunning (she sings them too).

    Perfect pitch & control with a touch of Gypsie add Eastern-Soul to her amazing, versatile voice, she has her own truly original style & class.

    Her band was absolutely first class too.

    Thank you POLAND for giving us one of the best singers of all time. :)

    BTW: Did she ever do any of her albums in Polish ?? I know she sings a few lines in the song "Reward".

  • @SuperStig23 She has one song on her new album called "Amelki Smiech" and she sings a couple lines in Polish in her song "Copernicus." There might be more. I'm not sure.

  • @ilonka311

    Thanks for the info

    She sounds so sexy singing in Polish :)

    Even though I can't speak a word of Polish

    ( except for some old yiddish curse words) but I know that's not real Polish

  • Just an all time favorite. Love Basia, and have for many years. <3

  • Kate Perry and Taylor Swift cannot reach her nothing, absolutely nothing!!. The greatness of Basia is that she is not from USA, She's from Poland. She's still has talent to show the new ones how their brains are empty in music!!

  • @juanunderground Millions of people are from Poland...hundreds of millions are "not from the USA". There's absolutely no logic in your remark. "Greatness" comes from an individual, not whatever country where they happen to have been born.

    Basia IS great....because of Basia.

    Poland is a wonderful country and her citizens have many reasons to be proud, in my opinion, but to say that she has "greatness" simply by virtue of her birth in a certain geographic location is nonsense.

  • @juanunderground jesus christ, you're a moron. yes, she's talented. no, she doesn't prove anything other than that.

    also, she doesn't write her own music. dumb fuck.

  • thanks so much for sharing!!!

  • she hits some notes

  • when i see her ... i see my mother singing God THank you for giving her to us now that she's with you up there hope that she still guides us in our lives .... I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

  • There's only one word for Basia.....INCREDIBLE, perhaps the best singer of all time. And the arrangements, backup singers, instrumentalists, mixing, EVERYTHING is just outstanding. I LOVE THIS AMAZING SINGER.

  • Along with Shania Twain's "From This Moment", this song and Shania's song are perfect wedding songs.

  • what kind of sax they using

  • @bandued

    the dude is playing an alto sax........he's got a great sound.

  • @saxysoundsoul thanku

  • Its an alto sax..........

  • a top 10 for me. really show the thumbs up!

  • @gymbag123 ur deffinetly right

  • Esta Ruca es de Texas. Ella canto en nuestra graduation pero no sabia cantar en ese tiempo no valiya madre!

  • @daytfl638890 Im one of them! lol

  • the next time I get married, this will be "our song". BEAUTIFUL

  • @kimmer0804 , This was my Wedding Song! Yes it is BEAUTIFUL!

  • better than the miley sirus shit

  • The name Basia comes from Latin roots- Basia is Bad!!!!!!! This girl is awsome!

  • The comment regarding where they are playing is incorrect. Basia Bulat is playing at Atlanta Variety playhouse, NOT Basia Trzetrzelewska as featured in this video.

  • For some reason, this song has stuck to me for over 20 years!! I love it!!

  • Basia hit #26 in Billboard, 10-29-88. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • Wow! Basia! I love Basia!

  • Basia !! what a voice, what a great band, her backup vocals (with herself) are

    beyond belief, the vocal harmonies still give me chills, the arrangements & sound mix are all top notch, The touch of Gypsy in her soul shines through like a Diamond she is one of the most underrated singers or her generation, Like Julia Fordham also a real gem, they never reached the fame they really deserved. Kudos to the top notch studio players tha created a magical sound that never overpowered the vocals.

  • psshh im not cryin man ='") tears of joy...

  • psshh im not cryin man ='") tears of joy...

  • Thank you! Very underrated female vocalist. She's one of my long time favorites.

  • Nothin but good memories associated to anything that Basia sings....she's wonderful!!!!!

  • I love this song!! she has a beautiful voice!!!!!

  • Not sure what it is but this song always gave me hope, ever since I was in high school I listened to this.

  • When MTV was worth watching.

  • Is that Andrew Ridgely on guitar? I love Basia...what a voice plus great tunes and lyrics...check out Rosie Vela...produced by Donald Fagen...Geoff

  • i love this song by basia it makes me relax

  • BASIA, I LOVE YOU FOREVER /  SIEMPRE TE QUERRé

  • Aw man remember watching that on the MTV before going to high school.

  • Ha! A bit of the 80s that I'm not embarrassed to look back on! I saw a clip of this video on TV and immediately fell in love...I had to run to write down her name and eventually bought the cassette. (This was just when CDs were coming in and were pricy...)

  • Super ! Nasza Polska Basia !

  • Still gives me goose bumps after all this time! Wonder why we don't see more of Danny White (piano), especially that they are a couple (or at least were) & that they both come from Matt Bianco.

  • So many wonderful memories tied to this song & cd...

    "We got time, oh baby there is no rush -- going a be a better day for us"

    "Our Love will always stay as good as new"

    Dreams <3

  • nice but those glass omg.

  • omg 2:11 in those glasse...wtf

  • thank you! Throwback time!

  • Thank You. I've tried finding this everywhere. One of the best videos VH1 ever showed. Incredible song and singer, even with the effects.

  • Thank you for sharing !!

  • classic!

  • My lss

  • Basia rules, I first listened to her in '87 and have loved everything she has released since :)

  • Going to see her in concert here in Las Vegas on Sept 23rd.  I can't wait. This lady rules!

  • thank you thank you thank you

  • thank you thank you thank you

  • thank you thank you thank you

  • Love this song. Thanks for posting it! Good memories.

  • If memory serves, she was singing phonetically. On "New Day for You", her accent was rather apparent.

    In high school, we found it amusing to respond to mispronounced names with "It's Basia". The things that entertained us. Good Lord.

  • Poles get everywhere.

  • @jellis4465 any problem united conndom?

  • @jellis4465 The best machine-techs I ever had the privilege of working with.

  • Comment removed

  • she's beautiful polish musician. i'd tried her 1st and 2nd only, but when i tried 1st and right after i felt that she was great singer!!

  • OH GOD!! I remember this tune when it came out of nowhere back in 1986/87?

    My wife at the time loved her. I must admit when we got the album I too like it. MTV was cool then, music was better produced and written, the singers were real and looked naturally elegant. The musicians were spot on..oh well at least you guys have lady gaga today.

  • wszyscy wielcy artysci to Polacy . Beatles tez byli Polakami. Pawel Makarski, Grzegorz Harasiewicz, Rysiek Gwiazga i Janusz Lenowicz to prawdziwe imiona i nazwiska chlopcow z Kobylnicy w pomorskim

  • Jezu, jakie to piękne! Aż mi wstyd, że uważając się za kogoś, kto uwielbia muzykę, słucham pani Basi dopiero po tym kiedy wczoraj usłyszałam jej piękny "A Gift" w X-Factor... :-( Ale obiecuję szybciutko nadrobić zaległości.:-))

  • I'd forgotten how good she was,nice too here it again

  • She's great! I loved her then and I love her now! And you're right about MTV--they suck ass now. If I wanted to see people in rehab, I'd have paid attention the last time I was in rehab ;)

  • She's great! I loved her then and I love her now! And you're right about MTV--they suck ass now

  • She needs to make a comeback!!!

  • I was in BookPeople in Austin, ca. what, 1986?, and this song came on on the store's system. I went wild. Instantly bought it. And I have to say, this video doesn't make me sick. And the key change is not gratuitous. Fine album. I am glad to have also gotten it on CD.

  • the song was lively ....its perfect...and basia sings very well in this song .ilove hearing her voice...

    .... its nice...

  • OOH Shit...She sung this song!!!? Outstanding

  • If I recall MTV didn't play Basia's videos.This was more VH1 territory.

  • why does this song touch me heart? it gives me hope... it is beautiful lyrically and musically, it makes me feel strong... thanks you Basia

  • One of my favs from the 80's!!!

  • One of my favourite songs from Basia. Beautiful singing.

  • powinniśmy być dumni ! oby więcej takich osobowości jak Basia robiło karierę światową .

  • Super dziewczyna , super utwór...

  • Love basia

  • Another song from the 80's illustrating that this time was the height of Western civilization. Even the bad songs were great (admit it, Rick Astley is talented and his music is quality - he just got overplayed at the time).

  • @BifMcAwesome I always say that. We have been devolving into madness and barbarism since 2001. I miss the world before the evil NWO agenda took over and the world fell into this terrible rabbit hole.

  • Thanks

  • Thank you. That was a nice trip down memory lane....

  • I miss 1988.

  • @limboslam Me too

  • Dude, don't mispronounce her name or she'll rip your head off!

  • @lulumontenegro You may want to seek some professional help, friend. Or else just fuck off, as it seems you are simply a sad internet troll just seeking some attention.... sorry about the mother issues...just go away and leave the rest of us alone...

  • @tdelamont That's funny you would say that, seems as if you need it more than I do bitch

  • @sew1835 is what you can't get. (:

  • One of my favorites from Basia!! Too bad she has not recorded lately. She has a great voice and such a marked projection! Simply a great video!

  • classic......

  • 1228basia What a gorgeous voice she has. Basia is my nickname...I never appreciated it when I was younger, but now it's endearing to me

  • My wife sent this song to me many years ago when we first met. We were rather far apart as to where each of us was living. The message from was to hold on and we would be together one day. She was right!

  • ona ma wspaniały głos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ‹(•¿•)› WINNING ‹(•¿•)›

  • Nasza Basia !!!! Niech żyje Polska !!!

  • Where have I been?

    This is brilliant, almost a female type Robert Palmer, if you see what I mean.

    I've got to get a DVD.

    Does anyone know when this was laid down and by whom?

    Thanks for this BasiaFan90, whoever you are.

  • @dekay4099 This is from the the album Time and Tide from 1987, I believe Basia and Danny White, her keyboardist, produced it. If you're going to buy any albums from her I would also pick up The Sweetest Illusion, very good!

  • OMG!!! THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!

  • Awesome !!

  • great song !!

  • Baddest bitch in the game<3

  • Named my daughter after her and she has to spel her name all the time! Just like Basia

  • Love Basia, thanks for posting this

    sNEaKY ☼

  • thank you dot for this song, its incredible

  • So Good so great to hear this song!

  • To me she sounds very much like ABBA - might be the accent or female harmonies .....

  • i'm a girl, but basia is my woman! (in a non-lesbian way!) i love her voice! i heard this at the mall and i was like, "omg i gotta listen to her cd!"

  • Such a Beautiful song. Such a horrible video. I want a do over!

  • she's slutty

  • For dudes who don't know how to spell her name -

    Trzetrzelewska - Tche-che-lev-ska.

    I know, Polish is difficult... even for Poles xD.

  • How that guy got "Basie" out of "Basia" is beyond me. I suppose the failed educational systems of the world are to blame.

  • Niestety takich głosów w Polsce teraz nie ma, zamiast śpiewu jest pic medialny

    pozdrawiam

  • Niestety takich głosów w Polsce teraz nie ma, zamiast śpiewu jest pic medialny

  • I also learned how to pronounce her name in this vid and I also used to call her the way that guy did hahaha!

  • @Minan3 That's cool. Now try to pronounce her last name. LOL :-)

  • @ILBREN7 lol I already tried and not on wikipedia, because they screw up information all the time on that website, her middle name could be longer XD

  • fuck yeah memories of me as a kid my mother driving places listening to Basia when i didnt even like music..Bump

  • @JunkWaffel33

    hahaha

    dont really like hearing her music

    til now

  • @JunkWaffel33

    I know how you feel... I remember my mom listening to this on the way to school!! when I saw the name and title of the song, I had to listen to it in memorey of her

  • This song is like her career: an almost. Almost good, almost memorable,...but not quite. She sings well enough when she is just singing. But her pleasant voice fails when she tries to mimic soulful bluesy notes.

    Funny video, because this song falls miserably short of being good enough to bring teens off the street and make a club crowd cheer and jump. LOL.

  • classis!

  • Man I grew up listening to Basia! My dad played her alot when I was a kid

  • @Eseercam my mom played her music a lot too when i was little ^_^

  • @kutchieMik I'm surprise no one's done any cover's of her songs or Diddy or some other rapper hasn't sampled one either.

  • @Eseercam oh wow that IS true

  • @Eseercam =awesome

  • @Eseercam Same here what a trip!

  • Just wanted to share a time when MTV played videos.

    EXACTLY!!! and a time when real singers can sing without a need for auto-tuning and synchronizers !!
