One of the greatest power ballads ever.There are several songs of the same title,but this is the biz.Sensationally better than anything FGTH produced before.Simply the best.Million thanks sodaspops for uploading this gem
Ah memories! 1984 - I was 11 and the very first vestiges of a 'change' in my physical make up became apparent - the end of childhood and the start of another phase. You grew up quickly in the north of England back in those days - you had to, life was rough but people had more community then than now. Thanks for destroying our culture Blair!
High fashion, class and great voices. The 80's !!! I am so happy to have been there and experienced what only could described as the decade of total AWESOMENESS
A great live performance from Holly Johnson who sings with such emotion and conviction. A superb ballad, beautiful lyrics, great production. Timeless. Frankie Goes to Hollywood at their very best.
This is ,,maybe not the greatest love song....but almost...awesome...it really doesnt matter if youre gay or straight,,,everyone has reason to live ,, this is one.. = D
BEST LOVE SONG EVER.....WAS MY WEDDING SONG...AND IF THE SINGER IS GAY ...WHO CARES HE IS A FUCKING SEXY GAY GUY...BABY YOU CAN SING TO ME ANYTIME...I LOVE FGTH!!!!!
what an amazing song sexuality does not matter this is 2010 for god sake, a beautiful song is a beautiful song there third number 1 on the trot, the same as the other liverpool band gerry and the pacemakers go ead lads
to snootyboss it was paul rutherford my mate also peter gill (drums) and mark otoole (bass) and brian nash (guitar) just so u know and as we all know holly lead vocal
What a great song. I think we all thought it would continue, with Relax and Two tribes being such amazing hits before and then this following. Regards the miming, TOTP was mimed for years. Find Nick Haywood? Haircut 100 and you'll see him fluff it up. Thanks for posting. I remember trying to emulate mike rutherford's dancing and looking like a pratt instead... still dance like poo now
The music, movies, and clothes of the 1980s may have been awesome, but the politics were awful and set the course for the disaster we are in now. We certainly didn't get into this overmight, so it's unfair to expect Obama to get us out of it overnight.
Even when he is miming....it is a damn powerful performance....Great one! We all know how a good singer he is...but look at his CHARISMA!!!! sO STRONG!!!!
rr so sorry 2 hear bout ur sis trish, i was a teen when this came out aswell it was my fav song at the time, gives me shivers listenin 2 it, luv it still luv steph x
@trishfraser1973 sorry for your loss songs always remind you of good time to as well as sad times awsome song am now 48 this like yesterday how time passes you buy but still remember friend kev uk
who gives a shit if any body is gay? Only losers, rednecks, poor shit kickers and guys with big time insecurities pay atention that sort of thing. This band is great and that's all i care when i am listening to this cool song
I really don't know. But what difference would it make if they where?. It's pointless since most of us don;t have the pleasure of knowing them in person. Some of us will never get close to them, not even by 10 meters. So it's futile to wonder if they are or arent gay to begin with. The only thing that matters to me is that i will always consider them among the greatest and i respect their work.
While that's nice but who cares if you were...lots of great singers are gay who gives a shit it's there music you like not who they go to bed with... i love heavy metal and i am not gay and lots of singer's have been said to be gay there too but that won't make me stop listing to their music
WHOA!! At least a good person who doesn't think, like me, that listening to a nice song or watching a great film as Brokeback Mountain makes you instantly gay...Let's try all to respect everyone & be open-minded! Bye ;-)
One of my favourite songs, and if we were to discard artists because of their sexuality, whether they be in music, film, writing, and many other fields, we would be losing some of this world's greatest treasures, past and present. If you work in the arts, you are going to meet many gay people. It's a fact of life. If you are comfortable enough to accept that, then you are a notch above most of the rest of this world. Live and let live - we are all human beings, on the same journey together.
