The Fixx - Red Skies (Original 1982 Version)

I love this version of the song.

I like these guys, they didn't have any songs that I would call annoying.

good music.i finished high school in 1989,i have a collection on here that takes me back to a good place.

such a great song
reminds me of being in middle school
and yes, the bass is great.

As a bassist, one of my favorite songs for bass. A very simple but authoritative bass part. Like a lot of 80s songs, the bass is in the front of the mix, and you can savor the nuances of the notes.

To the song as a whole is very evocative of the cold war and the Reagan era. The melody has a Soviet quality to it, "Volga Boatmen" sort of severity.

Are you familier with Zuma? he has videos on YT of himself playing 80's MTV era bass lines. Check out his breakdown of Girls On Film (midnight version) by Duran Duran or the mind twisting Too Shy by Kajagoogoo.

Awesome tune

This is a great song , no air play.
