"No time is a good time for goodbyes." Sara's lyrics carry profound meaning, and every time I listen, I find myself falling into a whirlpool of memories, reminiscing about the beautiful moments that have passed. Whether it's people we'll never see again, things that have changed, or opportunities that will never come again, there is a sense of melancholy and loss. Listening to this song alone in the deep night, I am filled with a myriad of emotions. It could be regret for the youth that slipped away or dissatisfaction with the past. More than anything, it is a realization of our own powerlessness. Throughout life, we never truly possess anything, and the people and things that pass through our years become a part of our wisdom, shaping our perspectives on the world. The only thing we can do is to experience this world, allowing every endeavor to become a form of experience, whether it's positive or negative.
29 Nov 2023 Great poetic touch there I say. All songs, whether chart-busters or not, will resonate with someone, somewhere, some point in time even if late in the discovery. That's just the way the cards fall in "the grand carpet of life" as Rod Stewart would remark. "....realization of our own powerlessness" in the vast, infinite continuum of space and time - ok, that one hits home hard. Where humanity is headed in today's tumultuous times is very much the moral conundrum of our age. Optimism is increasingly in scarce supply. Thank you for this opportunity of reflection.
How beautiful! Your choice of words is unlike anything I've read outside of a really good book. Thank you for leaving your comment. It made me take pause.
The 80's was a wonderful and unique decade......... and one of best decades of music,in my opinion, MTV, came into full force.... we got to see the music/message.
I always listen to 80s music in the car. My son who is a Gen Z told me that Gen X is the best because we had the best music. You know it means something when your 15 year old tells you your generation is cool!
@@user-Scappy I would say that there was lots of good music in the 90s. There was, however, A LOT more in the 80s. If I tried to make a list of my favorite 500 songs, I wonder what percentage would come from the 80s? 50 to 60% maybe?
I remember hearing this song as a kid when riding in the car with my mom. For some reason, whenever this song came on, everybody stopped talking. I still remember staring out the window, just relaxing to the music. Words can't describe how much I miss those days.
The music really grabs ahold of you, especially that chord change at "No time is a good time for goodbye." It is a brief key change, but it works so well in this song!
This song is apart of the soundtrack to a generation, Generation-X. I love it. This is song is an absolute timeless classic. I'm old enough to remember when this song was new. I used to crank up the volume on my boom box when ever this song came on the radio. Thank you.
I was stuck on duty one weekend in 1986 at Great Lakes Naval Base thinking about a girl I had just met and wanting to see her again. As I stood looking out of my barracks window at a gloomy, rainy Chicago day, this song came on the radio and it's been stuck in my heart ever since. The girl? I married her! 30 years this past June... :)
Didn't know until recently he's the vocalist on Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." He joined what was then Jefferson Starship shortly afterwards.
I hope some day i can listen to this without tears😢 my whole life my parents sang this to me. Rest easy mom and dad🤍 thank you for the name. Edit: I was born in 82. THANK ALL OF YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE❤️
Big love to you. It’s a beautiful name. Every time they played this song at my high school dances I would find my friend Sara and slow dance with her. She and I never dated but 30 years later there is a place in my heart that will never stop loving her.
I was 16 in 1986 when Sara topped the charts. It was the follow-up to We built this city. It still brings tears to my eyes just like it did back then. Amazing what music can do even when years go by.
Love that harmonica transition to the dreamy synth beat. A real unique opening hook. A great song no matter what era. It doesn't hurt to have Rebecca De Mornay in the video too.
A beautiful video I remember almost perfectly, but hadn't seen in decades. The black and white dustbowl sadness, spunk of De Mornay, music, and Mickey Thomas' powerful tenor optimally came together. When he pulled back his high notes around 4:25 in singing for the final time "storms, are brewing in your eyes" it was pop perfection, followed by a rousing finish.. They did this one just right.
I was 15 years old. From the first note and first lyric, a storm brewed in me. One of the most beautiful songs ever sang or recorded, and as eloquent a way to Express loss as has ever been uttered. "No time is a good time...."
@@kellyb1597 Lol! Funny you say that, girl. I work in a footwear store. A couple weeks back a young woman visited our store that was mentally challenged, but completely in the moment. She immediately asked my name. I told her Ted, and I asked her name. He friend said she never asks for anyone's name. Her name is Sarah. 😃 I said, "nice to meet you Sarah. One of my favorite songs ever is by a group named Jefferson Starship. It's called "Sarah", and I asked, "did they name that song after you"? 🤣 She blushed and said, "noooo". I told her, "I don't know, girl. The song is all about a special girl. I think they named it after you". She beamed all the way out of the door. They're both about 21. Surprisingly, neither of them know who Jefferson is, much less have ever heard the song. But her friend assured her they'd listen to it the minute they hit the car. I bet you when she heard it, she wished it was written in honor of her. 😉
I can’t stop listening to this song. It immediately takes me back to the 80’s. This song is bittersweet because we’re all older now and so much time has passed but the memories that go through your mind as you’re listening to this song makes you smile.
It's amazing how a piece of music will instantly trigger memories isnt it? I loved living my teenage years in the 80s, those were magical, joyous times, and as long as we have the music our memories will never fade...
It was either 85 or 86. I was at my first school dance in the gym. I was in 7th grade. I'll never forget being in a loose crowd of kids, awkward and nervous, looking around not knowing how to dance or what to do. This was the song that was playing. The school was torn down roughly 20 years ago. Such innocent times, now long gone.
The video has a lot of symbolism. He lost his mother in a tornado, and now he's having trouble letting his girlfriend Sara go, who took off on the same dirt road as his mother when she left. Very sad and very touching. I love this song and the video!
because things had meaning back then and today no one cares about anything or anyone it was more to life then yes people had troubles but it was so much more to life it had meaning and in todays world all we hear is black lives matter more killings more white on white and black on black crime trump is running for office against bills wife shit is a joke now days but its more serious then ever and people dont understand or have a understanding to what meaning is no one value's meaning in todays world like back then (sorry but not sorry
I remember hearing my Aunt singing along to this song in the 80's like it was yesterday. Such a great time to grow up in was the 80's. Out of nowhere this song came back to me when my Aunt was dying of cancer just this year. I was in Hospice with her when I decided I would play this song next to her. Even though she was comatose I was hoping somehow should could hear this song and it would bring her to a happy place where she wouldn't feel any pain for a few minutes. I played "Sara" for her and a few hours later she passed away with her family at her bedside. We love you Aunt Roe! Thankyou Starship for this beautiful song.
Look up synthwave. Bands and artists like The Midnight, At 1980, and Ollie Wride are great examples. You'll find many more artists that are heavily inspired by this style of music. Some with a more modern flare.
Never Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr No Smart Damn Smart phone,,,,,,, Only Pleasure to buy A Album in Shop with pleasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My wife's name is Sarah. I have referenced at least once a week that "no time is a good time" or "storms are brewing in your eyes" for the past 20 years. Thanks Starship for giving me the tools I need to low level entertain/annoy her.
My first wife passed away in 2014 and this song pulled on my heart for months. The excruciating pain mixed with this beautiful song was a daily recipe for tears.
I’m grateful I grew up in the 70’s. I had splendid freedom. No technology, no watch, no keys, no money- be home before dark. And we listened to such a diverse mix of music. My parents exposed me to jazz, blues, classical…. From Ella to Jimmy.
Mini tidbit as to why this song is incredibly powerful to me: I had my last sleepover with my cousins, kind of marking the end of that era of fun. I knew it was going to be the last one too. I got in the car with my parents, and as we left down their little country road, the radio started playing this song. This song will forever be that marking in my life for me. I can never hear this song without seeing the sun setting over the cornfields (it was a nice extended sleepover at least!) as we went down the road back to home and entering a new era of my life. God I love this song.
This song fits every situation. Meeting someone, getting involved, great traveling song, missing someone, someone learning about you. Timeless and always soothing.
Born in '74 I was almost 6 at the start of the 80's and 16 when it ended. Best days of my life musically. So many memories linked to 80's songs now that when I hear songs from the best era, the 80's they come flooding back. I swear I have a memory for almost every 80's song. Love the 80's so much that I feel sorry for kids born past the late 80's... they'll never know just how good it was.
you are so right. I was born in '73 and I also have a memory attached to every song. I am truly happy that I was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s listening to such great music. if I could go back I would. best time of my life. Thank you 80s!
I’m only 20 years old but I can say we’ve all had a “Sara” in our lives, especially me recently and it hurts us all. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I use this song to fuel my workouts cause of how powerful it is to me.
@James ouch! I’m surprised you didn’t find a proxy, or surrogate, Sara, in hopes of replacing her. Many men only get 1; and cry that they can’t find another. If you only knew how lucky you are that you don’t get another Sara. Some men have a pattern of hooking up with a string of Sara’s. These men never grow up. They’re always chasing that next high, like a drug. Sara’s are addictive but deadly. They’re not loyal. They never stay. They’re abusive and destructive. They rip your heart out and feed it to you. They mess with your head. Of course they’re fun and they fuck your brains out. That’s how they get you hooked. But then they pick fights and leave you. I’d rather have a boring, stable woman any time. They’re loyal. They stay. They take care of you when you’re sick. They ignore your bad moods. They won’t fuck your brains out, but they make love to you so tenderly that you remember why you fell in love with them, and still love them after years and years of being with them
You won’t truly understand “Sara” until you’ve met the true love of your life, and you’ve been with her for years and years, through good and bad, thick and thin. Sara is not “the one”. That’s the whole point of this song. Saras always leave. Saras are a hurricane. When they cum, they’re wet and wild, but when they leave, your home is wrecked, and they take the car with them.
This song represents the happiest time in my life. I had the best childhood a kid could want. Two loving parents and not a care in the world. We didn't have a lot, but we did have a roof over our heads. You don't really think about things like money or material things as a kid. You know you have less than others, but you just live life. Being a younger brother or sister, you get to play with their toys and wear their clothes they grew out of
I doubt that Sir Winston Churchill ever stated what it says in the message prior to this message. I as well agree that I didn't and I doubt most kids state many things of money. That I fear is simply an adult preoccupation. It matters little since be you a billionaire or a bum on the street we all toss this mortal toil in time.
TH-cam is my time machine!!! I can always go back and reminisce on some good times by listening to all my favorite 80s music!! I miss the 80sss!!! I wish I can go back!
My feelings exactly. TH-cam can take you back to whatever time you love most. For me it was the 80's. I can watch the videos I watched as a teenager, leave the here and now behind, and go back for a fleeting moment to relive those wonderful memories. Amazing!!
I was in UK in 1986, as young language student, when prince Adrew and Sarah were getting married. Radiostations were playing this song nonstop. I was sending postcards home, with special stamps, picture of Sarah on those stamps. This song takes me straight back to that year, smell of sea, days on the beach, days full of possibilities
This song let’s you drift back in time, and remember someone you loved long ago but left your life. In the 80’s, we knew what love meant and let it show on our sleeves.
I was born yr 2006, and im very blessed that this song and any other masterpiece on that era was so golden, happy that I still discover this song again❤️💝
My Dad used to love Starship. He has been gone now for eleven years. We were best friends and I could talk to him about anything. I miss him so much and dream about him at night sometimes. I love you Dad!!
It was great being a teen in the 80's (Going to geek out a moment) My band teacher was awesome. We played this song in Jr High, then in high school went on to play other great 80's music like Bon Jovi, Journey, Foreigner, my favorite was the Top Gun Soundtrack. Life long memories attached to each one every time I hear them.
This is a great song about hopes for a relationship that never panned out. The lyricist misses the person but knows things have to end. The "dream won't come true."
For me, the 80s were a time of hope and innocence. Cartoons had morals and would teach you things. Music was about love and hope. Movie's were inspiring and original. People were kinder and more polite. There was this feeling that the world was changing and becoming better. Now, everything is a fucking mess. People think they're entitled to disrespect others and do and say whatever they want to anyone. Cartoons are mindless garbage. movies are recycled garbage, stolen from others. Music isn't music. Just women getting naked and people using lyrics or instrumentals from other past songs and call it "sampling". Television is just Kardashian garbage and reality TV. Everything is twisted social commentary. And violence is everywhere..sad
@@craigedwards2940 Yeah, I've watched many videos from the 70s, including news clips. The thing about the 70s is that at least the news was confrontational and honest. I watched a news segment on TH-cam from ABC in New York City from 1977 about the blackout they were having. They were honest in the news about what people were doing that was bad. It showed videos of people looting and rioting. Now, the news tries to justify the actions of certain demographics and demonize others based on race, gender and political views. It's so bad that you can't trust most news organizations. CNN is by far the worst.
+Joe Blow I love 80s songs. I suspect my mom listened to it as I was in her womb, as well as when I was a toddler. That's why I feel like the songs are so nostalgic. I would go crazy for Toto "I'll be Over You" and "Forever Young"
My sister and I don't talk much. This song almost never plays on the radio, but this has been my song my whole life. I was born in 1990 and my name is Sara. This song played on the radio 2 nights in a row. It made my sister reach out to me to make sure I was OK. I love this song.
This great Starship song was on the air all over Northern California as a Bay Area Sound of the 1980s when I lived there. These members were the last iteration of the band with a more mature sound fitting for the age of the group at that time. To me, it's one of the more underrated Starship songs but it stands the test of time. Still sounds great in 2023.
Essa música eu conheci no LP Lembranças 4 de 1991. Um amigo do meu pai emprestou o disco pra meu pai gravar uma fita junto com o LP love Light Hits. Eu morava em São Paulo no edifício Ralph Center.
@@thec.i.a994 Definitely. Everytime I look at the video I cry uncontrollably. It is a mirror image of my life. Mother leaves me & then wife. Not a happy song at all!
BACK IN 1985, MY MOM WAS JUST STARTING TO BECOME ILL. IN 3 YEARS SHE WOULD DIE. WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT, SHE WOULD STOP WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND WITH GREAT INTENSITY LISTEN TO THIS SONG. EACH TIME SHE WOULD CRY. AS HER SON, I WAS VERY PROTECTIVE AND THIS BROKE MY HEART. SHE ALWAYS FELT THE SONG WAS ABOUT HER. HER "NAME" WAS SARA.....
I'm so sorry.. My mother was around then and she loved this song.. She was a smoker for 40 something years, and in 2015 she was diagnosed with lung cancer and it was way to late.. I can't listen to this song as it brings tears..

Whether it's people we'll never see again, things that have changed, or opportunities that will never come again, there is a sense of melancholy and loss.

Same with the song from Johnny Hates Jazz called Shattered Dreams.
Well said
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Exactly
Me too I sometimes cry in my sleep remembering my lost youth
Africa by Toto is another one of those weird mysterious bittersweet painful nostalgia songs. What is it about them that makes us feel that way?
@@CJPLA This music stirs our emotions. That is a good thing!
Yes; so well put. Overwhelmingly painful, bittersweet, poignant nostalgia. I want to go back and know then what I know now.
Even the intro alone sends shivers down my spine. There is always something magical in 80's songs
Yes it just takes me back. It's a beautiful song. I'm not sure if Sara left him or what happens to her but his emotions was so deep for her
Absolutely I love the 80s
That's true, same😁
The 80's was a wonderful and unique decade......... and one of best decades of music,in my opinion, MTV, came into full force.... we got to see the music/message.
One of the biggest tear jerker's of all time.
We can live in the 80s forever with these songs!
Verdade 😂😂❤😊😅
And Movies please ❤
I never left the 80s!
80's music will never die. You'll never hear music like this ever again.
So TRUE!
I agree with you 100%.No way that you will ever hear music with some special feelings like that was in 80's no way!
💯 % agree how wish I could go back there
No time is a good time...
É verdade...

My Teen says the same! 80's music were original, had purpose and meaning. There was a song for every emotion we felt.
Mickey's voice is so unbelievably underrated! What a singer!! Love the 80's great HS memories
One of Mickey's best vocals!!!
81 Million people would disagree with you. Check the VEIWS!!!!
Loved mickeys vocals in Elvin bishops fooled around and fell in love! Great song from my day!
Yes Minnie I agree.
國中時第一次聽到這首歌時被前奏旋律深深吸引，但隨著搬了幾次家，那時存下零用錢買的錄音帶已不見，再次聽到時我已53歲了，趕緊找出歌名並儲存下來，我想念這曲風的年代。
Felicidades amigo

80s forever. Best period of our lives.

Damn' these 80's Ballad's really get you where it hurts ,with nostalgia and emotion..

Nostalgia is a hellava drug
@@novaleptis3599 That is what music is supposed to be and certainly lacking in most music today.

Only the 80s could mix that frolicking, flowing synth sound with a nice pop rock beat.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Awesome 80s.

Makes me homesick for a time that's gone forever 😔

So very sorry
I was 16 in 1986 when Sara topped the charts. It was the follow-up to We built this city. It still brings tears to my eyes just like it did back then. Amazing what music can do even when years go by.
I was 26 and I was in a Disco in Puerto Vallarta,Mex.plaing the Starship songs with my band...One of the best Spring Breakes ever...!
back then young and old knew the top 10/top 20 hits (*newly released) were gonna be good!
i was 21 in 1986 and it was like yesterday....😔
@Rotten Ronnie Same here... 1986 was a good time to be a kid that's back when music worth listening to was still being made!
@John Bender I was 10 as well (my birthday's in December so I only turn at the end of the year). Great track.
The 80s were the best days ever❤
U know it
I agree with you
Com certeza
The best days of life were in the 80’s. This song brings back so many great memories…
OMG! Totally the best times are the 80’s! No comparison!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Agreed!
Def!!!!!!
Musica linda
yassssssss
I agree Jeff. All these years later and I still can't get this song out of my head as one of the great 80's ballads.
Love that harmonica transition to the dreamy synth beat. A real unique opening hook. A great song no matter what era. It doesn't hurt to have Rebecca De Mornay in the video too.
If Sara hadn't left him, we would never have gotten this gem of a song.
Damn right...love this song...
Definitely
Ever Heard the song carrie
Thank you Sarah. For screwing it all up, for a great music hit we can all enjoy listening to forever now.
Agreed 👍
A beautiful video I remember almost perfectly, but hadn't seen in decades. The black and white dustbowl sadness, spunk of De Mornay, music, and Mickey Thomas' powerful tenor optimally came together. When he pulled back his high notes around 4:25 in singing for the final time "storms, are brewing in your eyes" it was pop perfection, followed by a rousing finish.. They did this one just right.
The opening chords are enough to draw anyone in.
Oh how I wish to have been alive in the 80s.
I was alive then, but didn’t realize how precious it was. Things weren’t perfect, but they were very special. It was amazing.
I was 15 years old. From the first note and first lyric, a storm brewed in me. One of the most beautiful songs ever sang or recorded, and as eloquent a way to Express loss as has ever been uttered.
"No time is a good time...."
Music just isn’t the same today. When I first heard this song I was in 2nd grade and oh I wished my name was Sara.
These were real musicians that made music from the heart and spirit!!! Today's music is about the money!!!

My fave teacher played this all the time in art class. Probably why my fave teacher!
Me too takes me back to the year 86,87,88 wow good memories....I which to return to those times
I the same yay I'm in my 40's now but I was a kid in the 80's . I miss 80's music.
It was either 85 or 86. I was at my first school dance in the gym. I was in 7th grade. I'll never forget being in a loose crowd of kids, awkward and nervous, looking around not knowing how to dance or what to do. This was the song that was playing. The school was torn down roughly 20 years ago. Such innocent times, now long gone.
Anyone else thinks having perfect heath and being in the 80s for eternity would be heaven ?
seria fabuloso y sobre todo si vives con el amor de tu vida.
Cool. Just wake me up before you go go.
Sim
yes go vegan
I'd happily go back.
This video is a real work of art showing what life was like growing up in the Oklahoma dust bowl combined with a great love story
I take it that way of life has gone forever, friend?
The video has a lot of symbolism. He lost his mother in a tornado, and now he's having trouble letting his girlfriend Sara go, who took off on the same dirt road as his mother when she left. Very sad and very touching. I love this song and the video!
Thanx for the video description
why do most 80's songs has a story behind it ? really makes that decade historical genre for us 30's something and above
because things had meaning back then and today no one cares about anything or anyone it was more to life then yes people had troubles but it was so much more to life it had meaning and in todays world all we hear is black lives matter more killings more white on white and black on black crime trump is running for office against bills wife shit is a joke now days but its more serious then ever and people dont understand or have a understanding to what meaning is no one value's meaning in todays world like back then (sorry but not sorry
Those songs with a story behind it are still remembered today...thats why. Will anyone remember OOOPS I did it again in 30 yrs?
Jamie Wurdinger I've always loved this song.
Pure Nostalgia for me
80s music will never fade away!
You're so right. I talk to young teenagers who love 80s music
Facts.
@@ILC-eo6vk bye bye Sara 😂😂😂😂
Hello big ass tornado 😂 😂 😂 😂
And hurricane Ian.
Nope it won't.
Every generation loves its music, but the 80's is a special generation of music.
TRUTH. 80’s just hits different. Timeless & carefree sound. And I appreciate all the decades.
Her telling me that mind is magical and I can't believe I need a ride home?😁

I remember hearing my Aunt singing along to this song in the 80's like it was yesterday. Such a great time to grow up in was the 80's. Out of nowhere this song came back to me when my Aunt was dying of cancer just this year. I was in Hospice with her when I decided I would play this song next to her. Even though she was comatose I was hoping somehow should could hear this song and it would bring her to a happy place where she wouldn't feel any pain for a few minutes. I played "Sara" for her and a few hours later she passed away with her family at her bedside. We love you Aunt Roe! Thankyou Starship for this beautiful song.
TheRaidaz18 😢stay strong
This video takes me back to the 80s, sitting on the living room floor eating a pb&j watching MTV. What I wouldn’t give to go back for just one day..
Absolutely right 👍♥️
This particular song takes me back to 1986, driving down Virginia Beach Blvd in Virginia Beach with my first girlfriend…
I am afraid if I went back for a day I would never come !
Magical 80s music, an era that can never be replicated.
💯‼️
100% pure faxx!!
Songs in the 80s captured your heart on 1st hear.
Look up synthwave. Bands and artists like The Midnight, At 1980, and Ollie Wride are great examples. You'll find many more artists that are heavily inspired by this style of music. Some with a more modern flare.
Never Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr No Smart Damn Smart phone,,,,,,, Only Pleasure to buy A Album in Shop with pleasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My wife's name is Sarah. I have referenced at least once a week that "no time is a good time" or "storms are brewing in your eyes" for the past 20 years. Thanks Starship for giving me the tools I need to low level entertain/annoy her.
Kyle H Thank you for clarifying those lyrics.
I have been singing “ Storms are the wind your eyes” my whole life lol
Yes Kyle as of right now I'm annoying my Sarah with the same tactic
Deep down, she loves it!
you are lucky guy👍
That's actually funny! Lol.
My first wife passed away in 2014 and this song pulled on my heart for months. The excruciating pain mixed with this beautiful song was a daily recipe for tears.
😢
So sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss...
I'm so sorry
I know that feeling 😢
I’m grateful I grew up in the 70’s. I had splendid freedom. No technology, no watch, no keys, no money- be home before dark. And we listened to such a diverse mix of music. My parents exposed me to jazz, blues, classical…. From Ella to Jimmy.
No AIDS.
You just described my childhood to a tee. I thought it was just me.
Me too, child in the 70s, high school in the 80s.
This song is a timeless classic. I will always have this song in my heart as a kid back then and today as a man.
2023 STILL LISTEN
Lol😆
Well said
Hundreds of songs from the 80s are timeless classics. Songs that never made it to #1 are timeless classics.
Eres una princesa
We might not all know the name but Mickey Thomas has one of the most unique & beautiful voices in all of rock !
Yes! I dont think he's been given the credit due for those beautiful vocals.
Mickey Thomas and Gracie Slick both rock legends
Fooled Around and Fell in Love with Elvin Bishop is so crazy good
Yeah look how long he been around he was a core member of Jefferson Starship
@@LemonTree9280 my first 45! Elvin Bishops guitar solo on that song aint bad either...classic and still damn good after all these years.
Mini tidbit as to why this song is incredibly powerful to me: I had my last sleepover with my cousins, kind of marking the end of that era of fun. I knew it was going to be the last one too. I got in the car with my parents, and as we left down their little country road, the radio started playing this song. This song will forever be that marking in my life for me. I can never hear this song without seeing the sun setting over the cornfields (it was a nice extended sleepover at least!) as we went down the road back to home and entering a new era of my life.
God I love this song.
That’s such a sweet story ❤
This song fits every situation. Meeting someone, getting involved, great traveling song, missing someone, someone learning about you. Timeless and always soothing.
wow ...This Song is over 30 Years Old and still beautifull!!! Classic pop Songs from the 80's are the best! miss Those days
Yeah me too :)))
***** buena musica jessica
I know and that give me good feelings
40 now 😩
Born in '74 I was almost 6 at the start of the 80's and 16 when it ended. Best days of my life musically. So many memories linked to 80's songs now that when I hear songs from the best era, the 80's they come flooding back. I swear I have a memory for almost every 80's song. Love the 80's so much that I feel sorry for kids born past the late 80's... they'll never know just how good it was.
so true
you are so right. I was born in '73 and I also have a memory attached to every song. I am truly happy that I was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s listening to such great music. if I could go back I would. best time of my life. Thank you 80s!
1974 too! It definitely was the best years at that age for music.
Same here.....we caught tell 80's and are still quite young!! Great rime to be born!
I agree; born in 1977 and playing with my Jem doll and waking up every Saturday morning to watch cartoons were the best of my childhood.
지금 서울의 홍대에서 사람들 사이를 걸으며 이 음악을 듣는다~!! 기분이 너무 좋다.
명곡은 시대와 장소를 초월한다~!! ❤
You have good taste in music love the 80s hits
Vos estudiaste en ECI

와ㅡ오래전 곡인데..
좋으셨겠어요.
Song in my college days!!! 😳😲😳🤩😍🥰🥳👍
I love this song. It takes me back in time when I was a kid.
Yes. It's such a great tune. Takes me back to happier times..
Nakia. Love From. Puerto Rico.. Take. care. Lady. 💝💝💝🌸
Yeah me too same generation - 80's kids.
So true.. takes me back to my high school yrs..
oh my god me too i wish i could go back
I’m only 20 years old but I can say we’ve all had a “Sara” in our lives, especially me recently and it hurts us all. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I use this song to fuel my workouts cause of how powerful it is to me.
I'm 19 and I've experienced it recently too. Music is a powerful tool that can both heal and hurt at the same time. Keep your head up👍
Youll get over it. The fact that theres a Sarah in every movie, every class ive ever been in...youll find another one. Not me. But another one.
@James ouch! I’m surprised you didn’t find a proxy, or surrogate, Sara, in hopes of replacing her. Many men only get 1; and cry that they can’t find another. If you only knew how lucky you are that you don’t get another Sara. Some men have a pattern of hooking up with a string of Sara’s. These men never grow up. They’re always chasing that next high, like a drug. Sara’s are addictive but deadly. They’re not loyal. They never stay. They’re abusive and destructive. They rip your heart out and feed it to you. They mess with your head. Of course they’re fun and they fuck your brains out. That’s how they get you hooked. But then they pick fights and leave you. I’d rather have a boring, stable woman any time. They’re loyal. They stay. They take care of you when you’re sick. They ignore your bad moods. They won’t fuck your brains out, but they make love to you so tenderly that you remember why you fell in love with them, and still love them after years and years of being with them
You won’t truly understand “Sara” until you’ve met the true love of your life, and you’ve been with her for years and years, through good and bad, thick and thin. Sara is not “the one”. That’s the whole point of this song. Saras always leave. Saras are a hurricane. When they cum, they’re wet and wild, but when they leave, your home is wrecked, and they take the car with them.
I hope you will find another one. There are good people out there.
This song represents the happiest time in my life. I had the best childhood a kid could want. Two loving parents and not a care in the world. We didn't have a lot, but we did have a roof over our heads. You don't really think about things like money or material things as a kid. You know you have less than others, but you just live life. Being a younger brother or sister, you get to play with their toys and wear their clothes they grew out of
I doubt that Sir Winston Churchill ever stated what it says in the message prior to this message.
I as well agree that I didn't and I doubt most kids state many things of money. That I fear is simply an adult preoccupation. It matters little since be you a billionaire or a bum on the street we all toss this mortal toil in time.
Linda
Sorry

Surplus Sean...Your upbringing sounds very much like mine !!!!
すごい歌唱力だな～
中学生の頃よく聴いてたけど、本物の名曲は何十年たっても色褪せないですね。
Oh man I love this song!! The 80's were my favorite!!! no other Decade can beat it!!
The 1970s looked better thinking of architecture and cars.
The 90s does say hello
So true, love the 80’s, love to take a trip back to my teens now & then 😀😀👍
I agree!
Gus W one thing I can certainly say they really f***** up this country in the last 20-plus years
TH-cam is my time machine!!! I can always go back and reminisce on some good times by listening to all my favorite 80s music!! I miss the 80sss!!! I wish I can go back!
We KNEW it was OVER THE TOP even then!!!
Absolutely!
I am determined to be the 1st to go back in time to the 80s 💙💙💙❣❣❣🙏🙏🙏
My feelings exactly. TH-cam can take you back to whatever time you love most. For me it was the 80's. I can watch the videos I watched as a teenager, leave the here and now behind, and go back for a fleeting moment to relive those wonderful memories. Amazing!!
Mine too. I hear songs & the memories start playing like a movie in my head, mostly good times & others that were sad. I DO miss the 80's
Man those truly were the good days. Time really flies 😢
The best
🥹
I was in UK in 1986, as young language student, when prince Adrew and Sarah were getting married. Radiostations were playing this song nonstop. I was sending postcards home, with special stamps, picture of Sarah on those stamps. This song takes me straight back to that year, smell of sea, days on the beach, days full of possibilities
This dude can outright sing..What a beautiful song. Send chills up and down my spine.
80's The best years😍
Yes indeed
So true girl 🥰🥰🥰
O yes!
最高な時代だった。excellent time.
Without question
This song let’s you drift back in time, and remember someone you loved long ago but left your life. In the 80’s, we knew what love meant and let it show on our sleeves.
PDA you mean lol and lots of it 🤓
What a Voice the lead singer has.
49 million views and counting. im a 80’s guy and those were the best music years. in my opinion
Jesse James, ln my opinion. 80s songs are best.
Yeah I noticed all those views too except now 4 months later it's 54 million
Damn good “opinion “.
It's a fact.
I was born yr 2006, and im very blessed that this song and any other masterpiece on that era was so golden, happy that I still discover this song again❤️💝
80s music is the best of the best
Ernie L true!
It's as close to Heaven as I can get.
I could'nt aggree more! :)
Pop AND !!! rock of the 80's. I was in my late teens when it started and late 20's when the 80's ended. Such a great era in music.
ReneeNme
My Dad used to love Starship. He has been gone now for eleven years. We were best friends and I could talk to him about anything. I miss him so much and dream about him at night sometimes. I love you Dad!!
Keep your head up. Your dad is still there.
I talk to them in my dreams
❤❤❤✌✌✌🤟🤟🤟
Be strong!!!!!
life really goes by so fast... these songs always warms our heart...
Leigh Hamilton. Stay strong sweetheart . It`s a s tho sumth`in or SOMEONE!! is play`in a SIK ASS COSMIC JOKE!!! on humanity.
One of the best rock songs of all time ,flawless
This music takes my mind places i haven't been in so long ...the 80's represent the best of all time .
It was great being a teen in the 80's (Going to geek out a moment) My band teacher was awesome. We played this song in Jr High, then in high school went on to play other great 80's music like Bon Jovi, Journey, Foreigner, my favorite was the Top Gun Soundtrack. Life long memories attached to each one every time I hear them.
the power music
Definitely one of the most beautiful songs from the 80s....
greg philbeck male make me crying so much, I don't know why...maybe I miss my family
@@TheLULUTOMAS yeah, it brings tears to my eyes too about missing family.
I may not know you personally, but if you’re listening to this song you’re cool AF. Much love my fellow humans.
Very cool
Right back atcha, sir! Keep on Truckin!
Amen 🙏 to that!! 😊
Right back atcha pal!!👍
Thank you enjoy! Ditto!
Some songs never die.
Nothing brings us back to the past like music. I love this song from 1985.
Such diamonds when we rediscover just how good they are.
Temaso !!!!
Exactly!!!!!

@@modsbeck hello big ass tornado 😂😂😂😂
Bye bye Sara 😂😂😂😂
The time pass and I keep coming back here... Some songs are unforgettable
May wanna check into that issue with a mental health professional. ;)
When I was little, my Mom had a friend named Sara and I would sing this to her 😆 Sweet, lovely memories.
Ohh my name is Sarah 🤪
Amo esse nome que meus pais me deram .. Sarah❤
Sarah was the wife of Abraham the father of the Hebrew Nation.
This is a great song about hopes for a relationship that never panned out. The lyricist misses the person but knows things have to end. The "dream won't come true."
80s the best music forever
Armando Rangales
Amen!

MISS THE 80'S BIG TIME. BEST ERA OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN! THIS SONG TAKES ME BACK FOR SURE!
It’s crazy how you can go 20 years without hearing a song and still know every word when you hear it again😍
Yeah.
Ain t it great.
One of my favorite songs❤
This song is a bitter sweet symphony for me because the 80's never come back again....but I will always be an 80's girl!
For me, the 80s were a time of hope and innocence. Cartoons had morals and would teach you things. Music was about love and hope. Movie's were inspiring and original. People were kinder and more polite. There was this feeling that the world was changing and becoming better. Now, everything is a fucking mess. People think they're entitled to disrespect others and do and say whatever they want to anyone. Cartoons are mindless garbage. movies are recycled garbage, stolen from others. Music isn't music. Just women getting naked and people using lyrics or instrumentals from other past songs and call it "sampling". Television is just Kardashian garbage and reality TV. Everything is twisted social commentary. And violence is everywhere..sad
Same 😞
🤩👍🤠🇧🇷
@@alexandernelson647 Spot on. The violence aspect was pretty similar in the 70's, but apart from that you're right.
@@craigedwards2940 Yeah, I've watched many videos from the 70s, including news clips. The thing about the 70s is that at least the news was confrontational and honest. I watched a news segment on TH-cam from ABC in New York City from 1977 about the blackout they were having. They were honest in the news about what people were doing that was bad. It showed videos of people looting and rioting. Now, the news tries to justify the actions of certain demographics and demonize others based on race, gender and political views. It's so bad that you can't trust most news organizations. CNN is by far the worst.
This song sounds much more sad than it did as a kid. I really hear the pain in it now
when you lost someone special, they get more special with time
It was sad then too.
WOW..........Anyone listening this song 2024?? The 80´= FOREVER !!!!
Me!
2025, 2026, 2027...
You know it 👍😃
Me.. my cats name is Cera.. was just singing it to her lol she was walking away from me
Everyone is. I heard this yesterday in a supermarket and it brought me here. Haven’t heard it in ages, I could listen to it on repeat!
Theses tracks never die
masterpiece. I remember hearing this growing up. It stayed on my mind for many decades now, just heard it again here in 2023. Well crafted music.
It is my first time listening and I have no regrets
Goodness I miss the 80's. I want to live in 1986 forever.
same year...
+Joe Blow I'd like to hold in' 86'----man it was a great year for me too
+Joe Blow I love 80s songs. I suspect my mom listened to it as I was in her womb, as well as when I was a toddler. That's why I feel like the songs are so nostalgic. I would go crazy for Toto "I'll be Over You" and "Forever Young"
+Joe Blow Don't be sad that it's over; be glad because it happened.
ADD ME...I MIGHT EVEN STEP BACK TO 1970..THRU THE 80'S
Still listening 2019!
Yes my friend;-)
Still listening in 2019 and loving this song!
The woman in this video looks like Rebecca Demonay.
Yes the woman in the video does look like Rebecca De Mornay.🤔😊
City by the bay and I am still listening in 2019
After almost 40 years, I keep coming back to this song.
My sister and I don't talk much. This song almost never plays on the radio, but this has been my song my whole life. I was born in 1990 and my name is Sara. This song played on the radio 2 nights in a row. It made my sister reach out to me to make sure I was OK. I love this song.
Are you guys still in contact with one another?
Not too much. We had a good week or two that we talked and then now we don't.
Well Sara,no time is a good time for goodbye
Awesome share Sara. . I hope the best for you and your sister
@@suntzu7691 you're so sweet. Thank you
This great Starship song was on the air all over Northern California as a Bay Area Sound of the 1980s when I lived there. These members were the last iteration of the band with a more mature sound fitting for the age of the group at that time. To me, it's one of the more underrated Starship songs but it stands the test of time. Still sounds great in 2023.
Awesome song can never die
2023 and still sara
認同❤❤美酒越陳越香
Es triste
Essa música eu conheci no LP Lembranças 4 de 1991.
Um amigo do meu pai emprestou o disco pra meu pai gravar uma fita junto com o LP love Light Hits.
Eu morava em São Paulo no edifício Ralph Center.
No words, they'll never be another music scene like the 70s and 80s. Man do I miss those days
Arpegiated bassline!... love it!... man can Mickey Thomas sing!!!
I so agree...the best for music ever..
No other like the 70s and 80s❤
80s man, focus
Same here some of the best times of my life
im listening to this with a heavy heart, this just brings a lot of memories
Back when music was timeless. Back when it was an art.
That's why it was exciting when a new song, a new video came out. Today, all that's out there is crap.
This is why the 80s Music will always be Amazing 😁
I think it's hard to watch
,,,,,,,
Ah actually i always hear this on radio and imma kinda like of it
Amen on that
@@thec.i.a994 Definitely. Everytime I look at the video I cry uncontrollably. It is a mirror image of my life. Mother leaves me & then wife. Not a happy song at all!
One of those songs that really brings back the 80's.
One of the best from that group
Rebecca DeMornay was absolutely adorable in this video. Big props to her acting skills.
She was so hot in her days back then, Oh the memories!
Thanks. I knew she looked familiar but couldn’t nail the name down. Gorgeous woman.
She once shacked up with another musician, Leonard Cohen.
@@Crunkboy415 I don't know anyone who hasn't made a number of bad decisions... Even you.
Indeed. Few were as hot as Rebecca DeMornay in the early/mid 80s.
The music from the 80s has a Mystical, Magical quality 💕
my gf recommended it to me, and I fell in love with it:)
AquaStar yu
It makes me wanna cry
AquaStar :it was a magical time
Exactly! Perfect description. The 80s was whimsical!
BACK IN 1985, MY MOM WAS JUST STARTING TO BECOME ILL. IN 3 YEARS SHE WOULD DIE. WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT, SHE WOULD STOP WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND WITH GREAT INTENSITY LISTEN TO THIS SONG. EACH TIME SHE WOULD CRY. AS HER SON, I WAS VERY PROTECTIVE AND THIS BROKE MY HEART. SHE ALWAYS FELT THE SONG WAS ABOUT HER. HER "NAME" WAS SARA.....
I'm sorry that you went thru that pain. I hope things get better.
I'm so sorry.. My mother was around then and she loved this song.. She was a smoker for 40 something years, and in 2015 she was diagnosed with lung cancer and it was way to late.. I can't listen to this song as it brings tears..
Thats sad x
I'm sorry!I lost my childhood sweetheart Sarah in 2017 she was 40 by a bad car accident. 😭
My Condolences...Prayers for Strength
Hurricane Sara may be heading to Florida, and this song popped up in my head!
Same here. Storms are brewing
