58 years old, takes me back to Great Yarmouth Art college sharing a house with 5 girls from the fashion course, such great memories and still listen to it.😘
51 this year and heard this on the radio this week at 4;30 In the morning while traveling down the M1 and thought... Why is't this played more🙂guess I'm getting old😅
In communist Romania, a Yazoo tape was passed from one teen to another like a magical artifact. And it was magic: we felt that, despite of the Iron Curtain and Cold War and dictatorship, we were dancing in synch with the western youth. The parties were great, so was the music. We felt connected and part of a vibrant world. Music made us happy.
Thank god I grew up in the 80s and studied as a nurse in Chelmsford great night clubs my favourite was dukes .. what happened to the days gone so quick hugs to every New Romantic lol
Indeed, those apparently simple layers are his genius to my eyes/ears. Hear also New Life, Just Can’t Get Enough and Dreaming of Me. I mean Depeche Mode are great but what they would have become together with Vince…
56 and looking to retiment but it feels like yesterday evening I listened to this fantastic music with my friends. Now the sweet girls we dated have all changed to bitter hogs and I wish I had known that time went so fast. Anyone feels the same or only me?
This is real music. The 80's music was so diverse, rich and powerful. Something as simple as this song has brought tears to my eyes. To be born at the right time to experience the 60's/ 70's / 80's and 90's music is so special.
My dad, a 70s/80s kid said quote: “the reason that music was so good in the 60s-90s was because everyone was afraid of America and Russia roping everyone into a nuclear war so they wanted to make music like it was their last”
@@msmacker13 If only that were true...Get your calculator out. I was 23 in May 1983 when this song was released, now I'm 61. 2 generations have passed since its release. The biggest difference is that in those days to have a song to play, we had to buy a record or a tape, at great expense (relative to costs now). CDs came out only 6 months before this song (1st release of a CD was on Oct 1, 1982), so they were not yet mainstream. The bottom line is that music was expensive back then. The only other way to hear it was on the radio, TV, or at a bar or disco. More than just years have passed, but 2 generations of technology (records to CDs to online music). In the whole of world history, the 40 years from the 1980's to 2020's is probably the biggest leap forward. Back in 1983 we had to go home to make a phone call, or use a public phone booth. If I had a choice and could go back to the 80s, I would. I don't know what I did with my time back then, but now most of it is spent in front of my computer, in the cyber world.
Increíble que estos 2 no se pescaban.., muchas canciones las hicieron por separado. El pelao vincent mandaba a Alison a las entrevistas sola mientras el componía... aun así formaron un gran grupo como el agua y el aceite con canciones espectaculares como esta....
Heard this for the first time on Boom Radio last night and so glad I did. Been stuck in my head since. Really appreciating Yazoo more than I did before. 🙌
Interesting how I only recently discovered Yazoo, suddenly stricken with the can't - get - enough virus. 66 and missed the best part. Can I ever be forgiven? Sigh
Vince Clarke is amazing he started Depeche Mode and he went to Yazoo followed by Erasure why isn't he recognized as one of the greatest innovators on the keyboards of all time? Then you have the beautiful and talented Alison Moyet who wrote half the damn songs and has a voice to which Adele owes everything.
As kids my parents would play this in the car. Those were the days. I dont like many of todays artists but Adelle is one of the new superstars. No diubt about it. Love her music.
For sure, she had plenty of competition from other female vocalists of her time such as Annie Lennox, Laura Brannigan, Steve Nicks and many more and she still shone thru!.
@@stanbeattie4852 The same has been said about youth and music in the 80s, 90s, 2000, etc, etc, etc. Complainers like you, have fed me up for several decades.
I remember walking down Oxford St and just glancing into a doorway….there she was, Alison Moyet ❤…. I did a double take with a shocked smile on my face. I got a a beautiful coy smile back. I’ll never forget that moment.
So glad, and privileged to have been clubbing in the 80s/90s, what an era. Growing up with bands such as Sex Pistols, Joy Division (New Order), Depeche Mode, Tubeway Army (and the GOD Gary Numan), Human League, Vision, The Smiths, The Cure, The Cult, OMD, Men Without Hats, Cocteau Twins, Visage, Sisters Of Mercy, Stone Roses, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen...... ahhhh this list can go on! Thank God for a great era of music.
Alison is fantastic, but lets give Vince Clark his due...one of the greatest song-writers of his generation. Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure! What a legacy.
Forever grateful for my father (born in 69’) sharing 80’s music with my sister and I. Wish I could go back in time and re live this era first hand. Song is a banger !
John Bond yep I don’t know where the years have gone , I’m now 59 , loved her then , love her now , I loved the 80s best music , best rally cars , it’s a shame I can’t go back in time.
I was a teenager in the 80th and grew up with this fantastic music. I still listen to this songs now and I'm always thinking of this great time in my life.
Fabulous music. New wave was one amazing thing to happen during the end of the 70's and all 80's. I recall all that fantastic time and still listen Yazoo, Erasure, Blondie, Bronski Beat, Talking Heads, Alphaville, AHA, Sommerville, Camouflage, Cutting Crew, INXS, Talk Talk ... oh my, the list is so long.
Alison - the voice, and so powerful it is, and she looks so amazing. Vince - a true genius, such a cool guy. We were blessed to have them. What a legacy!!
I personally know Alison and her family. We lived in the same town, Basildon in Essex. She didn’t need a gimmicky Simon Cowell type show to portray her talents. In fact, electronic music wasn’t the path she ever intended to take. Unlike Adele, she built her career on just being a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, a young girl working in a local factory whose voice was and still is mesmerising. Started her singing career busking in Basildon town square. She happened to be in the same school as Vince Clark which is how that show got on the road. They were mates, as were all the Depeche mode members. Vince Clarke, in my opinion, would not have had anywhere near the success he has achieved without her. He chose Andy Bell as a replacement to form Erasure. Listen to the similarities in their voices. Coincidence? What do you think?
@@undisputed1291 Yeah, I wouldn't describe her voice as masculine. It's deep, sure, but unmistakably feminine, powerful, and soulful. Incredible talent.
Upstairs at Eric's is a superb album all round, they brought that album out at the same time as Depeche Mode, Visage, Ultravox, Simple Minds, Big Country, Duran Duran, U2, and countless other bands and it topped the chart 🤔 Enough said v❤
Alison's voice is so amazing. Even now I am at awe of how amazing her voice was then and still one of the best. The music, beautiful voice, was a pure magic for great songs and this is one more of those incredible songs that brought happiness, but then sadness, breakups and moments when this song was bitter sweet, yet always beautiful to hear regardless.
When you listen to these songs in your 50s it's so much better. You really listen and it brings you back to the loves and times with your mates, some gone some still here 🥰
19.11.2024 Ten rodzaj muzyki lat osiemdziesiątych ma wyjątkową charyzmę. Dla mnie, podobnie jak dla wielu osób, których dzieciństwo miało miejsce w tych latach, budzi to miłe wspomnienia, których mamy nadzieję nigdy nie zapomnieć 😊Pozdro dla wszystkich,którzy przyjdą tu po mnie
Good music is a good support. It can take you to another time. In art, the canvas is called the "support" - upon that you lay down your base and then your colours. Shine through and have a blessed and magical Christmas, Miguel. MERRY CHRISTMAS, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I saw Yazoo at Sonar Festival in Barcelona in 2008. This was the first song they played. Total chills from first to last note. They practically played every single song they ever released. A night to remember....
I understand why you are saying this (and I agree), but I can tell you, lots of people at the time this came out, didn't think that synthpop was 'real music'. Musicians are making real music today also :-)
Only for the old, today´s music is good too, there are good musicians. You must search. You´re not searching? You don´t find. When you only listen to charts you´re not in music... This was the same in the 80ies!
There's an elegance and style in a lot of these 1980s videos that is completely missing in today's offerings. Look at ABC, Thompson Twins, UltraVox... 71 years old and still listening...
Vince Clark does not get enough credit for his craft , he is one of the 80s era's greatest influences . With the passing of Andy Fletcher it would be great to see Alan Wilder and Vince Clarke team up with Martin Gore an Dave Gahan to do a good old 80s style tribute ...
Takes me back to a happier time when my parents were alive and I was close to my brother and sister. RIP Mom and Dad. Despite trying, I haven’t spoken to my siblings for over twenty years. Love the ones you are with.
A beautiful song, wonderful lyrics, stands the test of time. I actually remember this when it came out, thought it was great, it really takes me back. Kudos to both Alison Moyet and Vince Clark, because her voice is just so magnificent, to Vince, ye gods, the melodies, it's instantly recognisable, a thing of beauty,. It's impossible nowadays to imagine how, just groundbreaking this was, this actually happened. Can you imagine a world without this song? It would be rather a more bland world. Thank you, Alison and Vince.
Such an amazing song. Amazing in the 80s, still a beautiful song today. Saw their reunion tour in 2008 and they started with this song. So many people cheering, tears running down their faces. And Alison Moyet is so underrated it's criminal.
Vincent is absolutely one of the most under rated producers as a synth pioneer, he deserves much more credit for inspiring the late 80s techno producers and Detroit techno producers, and inspiring a lot of 80s synth groups ❤️🙌🏻 love Yazoo 😀
Long before Adele and Duffy, there was Alison Moyet...What powerful vocals! What a beautiful voice!
Adele looks a lot like Alison Moyet and her voice too.
I personally prefer Alison over both of them
Can’t stand that Adele stuff, Alison is miles better, better music 👌💙☮️
@@sootyyidette5557 me too sooty ☝️
@@loramatildak5200 not now I saw her on a talk show in us other day, she’s been under the knife, In every way possible 🎃
Absolutely one of the most underrated female singers ever!
Stupid.......She was highly rated everywhere.
For sure!
AGREED
Why? who on earth doesn't rate Alison Moyets voice 🤣
:)
57 years old....this still gives me goosebumps. Quite possibly the best female voice I've ever heard. Whose still listening in 2024.
51 me too
58 years old, takes me back to Great Yarmouth Art college sharing a house with 5 girls from the fashion course, such great memories and still listen to it.😘

Why Yazoo and not a bigger star like Michael Jackson ?
And now you have capitalist freedom loving Tate banging your women ;)
Cuz Yazoo is so much better!
Теперь диктатуры нет?
@@seankenneally3483i don't remember having asked you
The pair of them just look so cute, so young.
Great track by the way
What a life! Thanks to these two.
My most favourite band from when they started til this day
I'm amazed how many great groups Vince Clarke was a part of. Depeche Mode, Erasure and Yazoo. Everything he touched was gold.
What about "the assembly" In-between Yazoo and erasure???
Probably the most underrated influential artist of the 80s.
IS...He IS gold.
Agreed
IMHO - and it's just that - DM not as good after Vince Clarke left. Still good, but different and the tunes not quite as sharp.
Jesus! I was 63 in December. This only seems like yesterday. 40 years gone in the blink of a song.
yup
Well said!
I was 60 just gone, 10th November, know exactly what you mean. 👍👍
Free bus pass soon
Happy Happy B Day 🎁
Thank god I grew up in the 80s and studied as a nurse in Chelmsford great night clubs my favourite was dukes .. what happened to the days gone so quick hugs to every New Romantic lol
Hugs to you and thanks for being a nurse, amazing times so far away now ❤
Si meravigliosi e indimenticabile tempi bellissimi
@andrewprice-e8z ye gods I used to go to Dukes on a Thursday night lol
Possibly one of the best synth tracks ever, this is such a multilayered masterpiece, bravo.
Indeed, those apparently simple layers are his genius to my eyes/ears. Hear also New Life, Just Can’t Get Enough and Dreaming of Me. I mean Depeche Mode are great but what they would have become together with Vince…
I'm proud and thankful for being a teenager in the 1980's.
Me too
My mom is too
💚
@Ulisses Zeitune: I was 7 in a half when this song charted, I am proud to have grown up in the 1980's.
Me three😊
Best female voice in my opinion
I'm always torn between Alison Moyet and Annie Lennox. But on looks will stick with Kim Wilde
@@grahamcheesman2252 never heard of Liz Frazier then
@@monty1864 no I certainly haven't
Without any doubt ,the best female popular singer ever!!!!!
@@darrencross7482 Totally, so under rated :/
Alison is a singer whose very first note has your heart leaping and the hairs on the back of your neck standing up. A voice of commanding beauty. ❤
She was called ‘The voice’ for a very good reason…..
Her voice!!!! She is without a doubt one of the best singers from the 80's
One of the best singers and songs of the 80's
Without a doubt. So distinctive and pure
Of all time!
Ever ❤
Wunderbar
Vince Clarke is a musical immortal ,where as Alison Moyet's voice is so underrated its criminal
Greatest Synth pop duo...they both nailed it...and Vince answered Alisons advertisement,he really got the best out of Alison....Pure talent
Alison's voice is so underrated. I'm 64 now and this takes me back to the 80s!❤
:)
Why how cultured you are! Insisting that most other people don't rate Alison Moyet's voice you know one of the most popular vocalists of all time.
@@MrRorySteel Lighten up, man. Jeezus.
She has an incredible voice!
@@lucyfur3 Underrated comment 🤣
56 and looking to retiment but it feels like yesterday evening I listened to this fantastic music with my friends. Now the sweet girls we dated have all changed to bitter hogs and I wish I had known that time went so fast. Anyone feels the same or only me?
Faces, Rum Runner, The Barn, Liberty's, Happy days
Bit harsh on the description of the ladies from yesteryear, but I hear ya😢
What did you do to those sweet ladies to turn them into ‘bitter hogs’, I wonder?
It was the fusion of Alison's warm bluesy soulful voice against Vince's icy cold synth melodies that made Yazoo unique and Unforgettable.
This is real music.
The 80's music was so diverse, rich and powerful.
Something as simple as this song has brought tears to my eyes.
To be born at the right time to experience the 60's/ 70's / 80's and 90's music is so special.
Such a beautiful song, I would go in my room and play this song on repeat
My dad, a 70s/80s kid said quote: “the reason that music was so good in the 60s-90s was because everyone was afraid of America and Russia roping everyone into a nuclear war so they wanted to make music like it was their last”
The best
Yeh I was born in 77, so got to experience the 80s. Best time of my life
70's and 80's ! That was life ....
We were so lucky to be young people
in the 80s all this great music
You still not young?

Claro Alison aqui sempre neste 🛡️ em proteger deste Corruptos #
Couldn't have said it any better.
I agree... unbelievable '80s....
Mr Clarke, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure then Electronic, good CV 🎉
Yazoo + Erasure = my teens!
Increíble que estos 2 no se pescaban.., muchas canciones las hicieron por separado. El pelao vincent mandaba a Alison a las entrevistas sola mientras el componía... aun así formaron un gran grupo como el agua y el aceite con canciones espectaculares como esta....
one of my all time favorite songs. Alison Moyet has one of the most powerful and poignant voices I ever heard.

I’m 63 and its right up there with the best.
Listen to “Only you” by Yaz, equally great

We were all born sometime.
Heard this for the first time on Boom Radio last night and so glad I did. Been stuck in my head since. Really appreciating Yazoo more than I did before. 🙌
Amazing that ABBA came back with such a fitting song!!! Thank you all !!
A criminally underrated vocalist.

Then you have the beautiful and talented Alison Moyet who wrote half the damn songs and has a voice to which Adele owes everything.
absolutely right!
@@TheBruteOne were they a couple?
I instantly thought Alison when I saw and heard Adele. I guess I’m not the only one.
As kids my parents would play this in the car. Those were the days.
I dont like many of todays artists but Adelle is one of the new superstars. No diubt about it. Love her music.
I agree. Alison's voice is a one off, and Vince was in three incredible bands as a songwriter and keyboard player. Ridiculous talent.
I can't believe I've been listening to this for over 30 years...and I still love it
timeless
So true...she is awesome. Love her thru the years...still listening to her in June 2022...timeless..cheers to Ms. Alison Moyet!
Tenho no meu celular sempre ouço amo muito essa música 🥰
Me too!!
40 years today :)
Alison Moyet : the most unique voice in music history.
certainly one of them
Adle owes her $$$$$
Not every voice is unique in terms of tone and style. So many sound remarkably similar, especially today. Moyet is instantly recognisable.
@S T I'm not talking about her accent.
David UK Exactly
Alison Moyet hat die beste Stimme ever, da kann keine Adele u.s.w mithalten.
Next time there’s a bond film, let’s get Alison, on the theme tune.
Tbh she puts many of todays female vocalists to shame the power and range she can achieve is incredible.
And all without mumbling her words.
Agreed
For sure, she had plenty of competition from other female vocalists of her time such as Annie Lennox, Laura Brannigan, Steve Nicks and many more and she still shone thru!.
She is just amazing , Love! her voice
it irks me that now singers don't have to have great voices to be recording artists
Alison has an incredible voice, instantly recognisable, she's pure authentic in her talent.
:)
Agree
Take me bk to the 80s....please...miss everything about it
You can have the best of the 80s today

Hear! Hear!
I worked in London in 88 my dad was desk security at Mute records, i met Erasure, Alison, Vince, many more, happy days
You nailed it!!!
Add Ultravox. Never underestimate Ultravox.
Allison Moyet is a very underrated singer in my humble opinion.
plane7 , yes she has a powerful voice, gorgeous as well btw
Hell yes
True
Axl Rose is too.
lot of competition in that time
Alison is fantastic, but lets give Vince Clark his due...one of the greatest song-writers of his generation. Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure! What a legacy.
I just can't get enough.
Her voice is alot stronger now that she is in her 60s than it was in her 30s
Yazoo's masterpiece.
A master piece! Takes me be back to the greatest decade of all...the 80s👏 what a previledge to be a teenager then👌
The great 80's decade came to a crashing halt in 1985. Stock , Aitken and Waterman came along.
@@sunnygovan7 I've always said 1987 when KROQ played Nirvana and looking bad and feeling bad came back in style, but maybe you're right.

Vince Clarke , der genialste Künstler überhaupt ,Gründer von Depeche Mode,Yazoo und Erasure.
He is my favorite artist
It's November 2023 and this song is still so poignant, it's a whole book, not just a page in your diary.
Two of the most talented artists of the 80s
Crying. Remembering my youth. Upstairs at Eric's was one of my first albums

Ye they're very similar, a masculine woman and a feminine man...had the same voice!
Should have had a Collab would have been epic
@@undisputed1291 she's not masculine, she's just got a warm Deep voice, maybe better for soul music than for pop, but, anyway, a superb One.
@@undisputed1291 Yeah, I wouldn't describe her voice as masculine. It's deep, sure, but unmistakably feminine, powerful, and soulful. Incredible talent.

God how great was it to live as a teenager in the 80s , I hate what music as become now 😒 forever an 80s child
Couldn't agree more, unfortunately not just the music is bad now. This world is so dodgy but this country is not good
When you listen to these songs in your 50s it's so much better. You really listen and it brings you back to the loves and times with your mates, some gone some still here 🥰

wow! That would have been very, very cool!
This, kids, is real music....
I understand why you are saying this (and I agree), but I can tell you, lots of people at the time this came out, didn't think that synthpop was 'real music'. Musicians are making real music today also :-)
Each generation has its own music.
Only for the old, today´s music is good too, there are good musicians.
You must search. You´re not searching? You don´t find.
When you only listen to charts you´re not in music... This was the same in the 80ies!

All the comments , But you are the one that is dead right
Wonderful voice from miss Moyet , pure genius from Vince Clarke
Vince Clarke gets overlooked as Alison's voice was so unique. Every hit had a killer intro and synth hooks all he way through....
Love this. Takes me back. Alison Moyet _ one of THE voices of that decade.
Both complimented each other’s talents superbly.
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful voices on this planet
Probably the greatest female voice of the 80s and the song well its fabulous! Matt the Siouxsie fan .
There's an elegance and style in a lot of these 1980s videos that is completely missing in today's offerings. Look at ABC, Thompson Twins, UltraVox... 71 years old and still listening...
something about this track is timeless...can't stop playing..
Beautiful song beautiful vocals beautiful woman
Vince Clark does not get enough credit for his craft , he is one of the 80s era's greatest influences . With the passing of Andy Fletcher it would be great to see Alan Wilder and Vince Clarke team up with Martin Gore an Dave Gahan to do a good old 80s style tribute ...
Beautiful - the music, Moyet's voice, the lyrics. We've had a fantastic time in the 80ies.
one of the best songs from the period , alisons voice is incredible , so much texture , vince clarke is a musical genius
Alison Moyet ~ a voice beyond explanation! WOW!
Alison Moyet had the best and most powerful voice in the 1970’s. One of my favourite singers then and now. ❤
1980's
One of the greatest breakup songs ever recoded.
Alison Moyet hat so eine wunderschöne und kraftvolle Stimme ❤
Got to admit at 62 still think this a classic that will out live both of us...?thank you for your content and soul.
I am 66, and my skin crawled as I listened to this this evening. I Loved this then, and I sure Love it Now. Bring Back Great Memories. ❤️❤️❤️
Her voice is just unique.
Takes me back to a happier time when my parents were alive and I was close to my brother and sister. RIP Mom and Dad. Despite trying, I haven’t spoken to my siblings for over twenty years. Love the ones you are with.
sorry to hear that. in a similar boat myself. thank god for youtube though.
I feel for you!!!
Make that contact mate
Try again 😚
A beautiful song, wonderful lyrics, stands the test of time. I actually remember this when it came out, thought it was great, it really takes me back. Kudos to both Alison Moyet and Vince Clark, because her voice is just so magnificent, to Vince, ye gods, the melodies, it's instantly recognisable, a thing of beauty,. It's impossible nowadays to imagine how, just groundbreaking this was, this actually happened. Can you imagine a world without this song? It would be rather a more bland world. Thank you, Alison and Vince.
She has the most amazing voice.
This lady could sing a song to cheer anyone up thanks Al
Such an amazing song. Amazing in the 80s, still a beautiful song today. Saw their reunion tour in 2008 and they started with this song. So many people cheering, tears running down their faces. And Alison Moyet is so underrated it's criminal.
Vincent is absolutely one of the most under rated producers as a synth pioneer, he deserves much more credit for inspiring the late 80s techno producers and Detroit techno producers, and inspiring a lot of 80s synth groups ❤️🙌🏻 love Yazoo 😀
his wallet is oke,
Only heard this song for the first time last week and I have it, literally, on loop and cannot stop listening. Simply awesome ❤
One of the best songs ever has been written. Nobody can sigh better than Alison.
Little did I know the late 80s were the defining moments of my life I ache for those days back ….life was so simple enjoyable never to be forgotten x
