The lyrics are so so appropriate as to what is needed now. Rise up for Freedom, hope, peace, happiness and Spirituality. Love it - can’t wait to shed all the war, corruption and oppression in the world. Bye bye Turdo! Thank God 🙏🏼 NCSWIC - WWG1WGA
Canada was on fire musically in the 80's. Parachute club I would have to say was really ahead of their time. Strange Advance right up there too. Gowan, Rough Trade, The Box, Corey Hart, Rush, Men Without Hats, Toronto, Aldo Nova, David Wilcox, Prism, Alana Myles, April Wine, Platinum Blonde, The Spoons, Martha and the Muffins, The Pursuit of Happiness, Crash Test Dummies, and many more.
Hey I was gay growing up in Toronto in the eighties and this was my anthem...unfortunately I was later involved in a shooting at a Loblaws that caused 17 casualties...i am still in prison...
The lead singer and writer was Margo Davidson .She was adopted .She was born in Simcoe Ontario Canada. She formed the group .She was born in 1959..I knew since 5 years old..Her and I and 20 other children were molested in a home town church .The song Fire.is about Her and John Oates. THEY were in Love but Because of the church. Margo was lesbien. That's why she commented suicide. ❤Love You Margo❤See ya With Jesus...coming to get YOU ❤
Margo Davidson was God's gift to us for a short time. Her and 20 of Us children were molested in a home town church in 1967. That's why she was lesbien and committed suicide. 3 have committed suicide..❤❤❤
times have gotten a lot worse after watching this video
Great bass playing
Now it’s full of our New Canadians
LORRIANE SEGATO GOT THE ORDER OF CANADA! YES!!!
Great singing 👌
This video looks like it smells of K
Iconic video from my youth.
I never liked this group they seemed like a bunch of gays and lesbians and was begging of a pride parade
Closed minded much?

I thought this was corny. How wrong I was. Theme for 2025
Yessss this album was one of my fav "women's music". I called it, girls who spit music!
Flimed in my hometown, Toronto, Canada. Me and my brother were 80s kids.
Fantastic song that still stands the passage of time.
My "wife" says ths song is about gay power 😂 I'm loaded......
Blast from the past. I did not remember how that video (and the song) IS GOOD.
There is a reason this is attractive right here right now…luv it. Just waiting for the rise up now…

Now we have Beiber, Weekend, and Flake. Yay.
Had I heard it back then, I would've liked it. I mean, I like it right now, but I'd never heard this song in my life until 5 mins ago.
Rise up
Tick Tock
Here we are together searching for a dream
I prefer the original
Hello who is here in 2024
Finaly now is the time they were taking about parachute club so good

I only recognize the ending part...
Back when there were still White people in Toronto...
THE MOST POWERFUL SONG ON THE PLANET!!!
One of the best 80s song. Toronto Canada all the way.
I call this the revaluation song.
WHO 'S HERE IN 2024 with the crazy transgender craziness and all?&???
Heard this on the Moose in Bancroft . Have not listened to this song in years. Still a great fresh sound.
Absolutely - womens time has come ❤❤❤👏👏🫶🫶👍💗💝
If I can't win, I won't play. I am totally alone in this world. The song that comes up is Rise Up. The Parachute Club.
