Good days in70s building dens applescrumping building go carts going home after a hotsummers day not bothering or a care in the world All changed my lost touch with school chums all grown up kids of my own time stops for no one
I cant claim that this was part of my youth. I am 37 years old now but. Have only come across 3 ajohnny Hates Jazz songs in my time as a band keyboardist (2008-22). We play old/classic songs from the 60s tp 90s although we also have modern ones like Maroon 5. The script, U2. But my exposure to bands made me love classic songs like this. Evwn my cover songs on my youtube channels are mostky classics.
My Dad always said "Son, enjoy your youth and don't be in a hurry to grow up, because you will look back and wish that you had appreciated your younger years".
@@redfullpack I'm 54 now and never had kids, but I always told my niece and nephew the same thing when they were growing up. I'd see the same baffled look on their faces that I probably gave my dad. When you're young, you can't wait to turn 16 so you can drive, and then it's 21 so you can drink. But now, 34 years later, I look back and wonder, "Where did all the time go?"
I wish I could I miss my wife her being here to see our granddaughter growing up. I miss my babies being young. I miss my dad. Your youth goes by so fast
Today is October 1st, 2024 12:04 a.m. and I am listening to this 'lost' gem. I'll be 46 by the month's end. And I'm thinking I wish that I could've turned back the clock and revisit my childhood days . I recalled this song over the radio. Its true life was much simpler and in my view better then. I missed the 80s! Who's with me?
I cried a lot listening to this song years ago realizing I cant turn back the clock. We all miss our youth. Im turning 60 this Jan2022. Age Is just a number when your heart remains the same. Take care of your body cuz you only have one. Take care of your spirit if not you will be destroyed by the enemy. Stay strong and hopeful.💜💜💜🥰
I am still in my 30's but I wish if I could go back to my 20's.. Age is just a number but memories are remaining the same.. What we have done and what we have said are remaining forever.. So fill your heart and soul with the best and always take your time for others..
Best musical Era of all times!!! The number of artists and many new styles sounding even up to date!!! I'm not saying there aren't other great artists in other times,but the 80's was the golden musical Era,no doubt about it!!!
To think Clark hit the jackpot did it with a gem like this no one knew any age in 87 thinking these lyrics in the 80s we didn't know at time or anyone for that matter that it certainly means now aging all these years later scary and what they mean now or over time history crazy.He would then even years before that he wanted To Turn Back The Clock to the 70s even 60s or so on
Would give anything to turn back the clock... My Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa would all still be alive.. and I would be a kid again back in the 80's... I HATE modern times... :(
I'm with you there. I was a kid in the 80s. So far in just 21 years from 2000 until now I lost 3 grandparents, my mother and the aunt that I was close to plus an uncle. I'd love to go back to that time.
@@randallcox2238 Death was around Waaaaaay before the 1980`s!!! DeATH began. well... u know. The 80`s were fun tho. I sorta miss MAX HEADROOM & the INDIANA JONES` movies.
I’ve just turned 70. Loved the sixties, seventies and eighties. So many wonderful memories. We take our younger years for granted, yet they were so precious. Be great to go back even for a day!
DITTO my friend ! I just turned 78 in April. I tried to live and love all I could in the 60's. I was drafted and never knew if I'd come back. I loved everywhere and with everyone I could ! I wanted to experience as much life as I could. In 1977, I met the love of my life. We were together for 40 years until they passed away in 2017. If I could turn back the clock, I'd do it in an instant ! It was the BEST part of my life.
I wish I could go back two years when my husband was still alive. I really miss him. We were married for 40 years and I thank God for that. It was a very good marriage. We got it right the first time. I am 63.
i miss u lot dad , who died this year feb 23,2023 at the age of 63.... if i bring could back the clock to remind him how much we love him my papa, to remind him always that health is more important so we can spend more longer together with his family.
I'm 47 this year. I was a kid in the 80's., about the same age as the boys in the video. I miss it terribly. I actually felt as if my eyes were open, and I saw and sensed everything so clearly. Today it's a blur wrapped up in tech and information overload from every angle. A simple life, one in which we moved and did things. A life where we had try harder but the rewards were sweeter. This song makes me cry. I wish I could go back, my dad and grandparents would still be here too x
I was already a grown adult in 1987, was 30, but when 30, you feel you can still conquer the world had no kids at the time, remember that husband died that year in July of 1987, can't believe it has been 35 years now. Being 66 now in 2022 wish I can turn back the clock.
I’m 55 years old the 80s were amazing there’ll never be another decade like it . We never had much but what we had we appreciated. Look at today it’s garbage same as the music. So glad I grew up when I did .
So with you Rob, we never had much but we went out and had fun playing football or whatever else was happening. You don't see kids playing much cos on phones or computers.
The 1980's was like a fairy tale compared to today. At least we have good sentimental music like this to reflect back on a better time . The best time to be a teen or young adult.
B Rollins- I miss the music and some of the fashions, but I grew up as a teen in the '80s. I don't feel the same nostalgia as apparently everyone else. I had a rough time growing up then, with some really painful memories. I'm much more fond of the '90s. I don't think the '80s were as great as everyone says.
@@Sentinel66able Indeed, It was not as great as people make it out to be, though a lot of people who do say they think it was the best were only kids at the time. As an adult I can see I found it to be awful and glad when it was over, the fall of the Berlin War and the end of the Cold War! The only thing I truly enjoyed from the eighties was the music and even then there were some stinkers.
Ugh, time flies by so fast when you're young and having fun. In a heartbeat, it's gone forever. Summary of those who lived their wonderful youth in the 80's. Cheers to you all fellow Gen Xers. ❤❤❤❤
Si veloz, mi padre me lo advertía.......y no quiero rendirme a mantener mis sentimientos aunque el tiempo y las experiencias te van limando ..... En qué momento se separan los amigos también.......a veces parece imperceptible.
I enjoyed reading all the comments here.. It let's me know I'm not alone in my feelings and longing for the 80's. Just like all of you.. Cheers everyone!
Wonderful song always fresh in my mind looking back at my young age when life is less stress and worry -free just listening to good music. I hope I have time machine to turn back time and be kid again...
I keep seeing these comments but as a teen ager in the 80s all I remember is endless pairs of headphones on the bus, mates not going out because they were playing Atari, it wasn't that different then essentially except the music was far better
Vinny Itallo. I don`t get how the internet & a cellphone has become a "HINDRANCE"!!!! to many. & I was 20(b.1963)in `83 so I came thru the 70`s & 80`s & beyond.
Such a beautiful song. The older you get, the harder this song hits. I miss the 80s so much, wish I could go back to those days. If only I had a DeLorean time machine. Where's Doc Brown when you need him.
It's so bittersweet ❤😢 Especially now the future seems bleak with all the insanity going on. I am so grateful that at least I have my beautiful 80s memories. Even the 90s were great compared to 2024. Wish you happy days despite.
I'm 55 and I can really tell that we are the blessed generation where we witnessed & heard the golden era of music.. immortal, timeless and epic songs mostly comes from underrated bands. But nevertheless I still appreciate the fact that most people after our genre still loved & appreciate the energy of the 80s!!
When you listen the whole album, you realize this is probably one of the best records produced in the 80s. Better than anything produced by Collins or TFF at that time, which by itself says a lot. Funny that at the time it was released, it was smashed to the ground. Only time proved and revealed all these gems. Even us did not realize how good this was then. Thankfully to become wiser is never to be too late.
I am 56. In my teenage life I don't have internet, smartphones.sony PS 1. But I have cassette, magazine, radio,and go to movies and hangout with my friend ever weekend ☺️.☺️✌️
Those were the good days with no electronics. All of that has really hurt the kids that live in this generation. So sad that everyone looks for validation in on social media.
This song hit me hard realizing how time flies so fast and you cannot turn back all the times youve missed and end up regretting for the things you never did.
@@ruibento9840 It just goes to show that even if you grew up in the same country in the 80's, you might have completely different childhoods. Mine was pretty much like the video. Playing out and riding my bike with my friends till late, watching the Top 20 at Saturdays and watching Shattered Dreams enter the charts, watching Knight Rider on Sundays, and then grab my bike and jump off ramps with my friends, pretending to be riding KITT turbo boosting over the bad guys... 😎
Another fantastic 80s band I enjoyed back when I was 27 now 63 the song is so much more relevant and hits home a lot harder ..."I'd go back if I could"
I grew up in the 80s. Decent pubs and night clubs, superb music, affordable beer😁🍺 I've had my times, no regrets. Wish I could turn back the clock for this generation, iPhone and I Instagram, zero hr contracts, extortionate rents/house prices, we've let it all go down the pan for the next generation. 😔
Yes. It is an era where simple things mean a lot. We cherish the times we spend with friends, unlike today where kids are spending most of their times on gadgets and not playing and socializing outdoors
I wish fones hadn’t been invented. People don’t talk anymore there faces are in their fones constantly. Wish I could turn back the clock as Johnny would say ❤
Best time of my life is when I am with my mom, dad and siblings, friends, school days and 80's songs (remember the Duran Duran vs. Spandau Ballet? Wham, OMD, Pet Shop Boys, Johnny Hates Jazz, AHA, Tears for Fears, Electric Dreams, The Promise, Sahara Nights, Ghost in You, Peter Cetera, Eurythmics, Phil Collins, David Bowie and a lot more) really wish we could turn back the clock. I'm 59 now and still listening to the New Wave music☺️
I would not skip the 70s, it has real gems too. And also funny, hilarious music to make you smile. I wasn't even born yet but I often listen to 70s music.
ZanduckTV2 It makes me feel sad. I miss my childhood my own hometown in Connecticut! My old schools my old friends. Playing outside and smelling tbe brownies that mom would make! Those were the days!!!!!
I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them ... Who knew the 80's were gonna be the best decade! Miss it so much 🥹
Back then, I subconsciously didn't took the 80's for granted. But I felt a big stab in my heart when I graduated from college in '87 and the last remaining moments of the 80's on December 31 1989.😢😢😢😢
A 90s baby here appreciating songs made before I was born. From love songs to slow rock to 80s new wave hits. What would it be like to live in the 80s era.
+newtassi no one said you can't live like it's the 80s, just pretend it's 1986 and as soon as 2019/1989 comes around instead of 2020/1990 go back to 1980 😂
Takes me back to my teenage years the best days of my life! Without this soundtrack life would have been so boring but with music like this it was amazing, god bless the music of the 80's!
Another day is ended And I still can't sleep Remembering my yesterdays I begin to weep If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when life was so much better Lying here in silence Picture in my hand Of a boy I still resemble But I no longer understand And as the tears run freely How I realize they were the best years of my life I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to stop Back to the days when life was so much better You might say it's just a case of giving up No But without these memories where is the love Where is the love If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when life was so much better Why can't I turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days Oh no no I remember when Life was so good I'd go back if I could Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day Don't let the memories slip away I wouldn't change a single day Don't let the memories slip away
Just had a vivid dream of an old flame that never went out, and this song played while we were dancing in a supermarket full of people. Still miss you Eva, after 24 years....
Recently turned 50, my mother is sick in hospital I truly hope she gets better,going through an emotional time,wish I could turn back the clock to happier times🙂
Your comment made me cry... I am 52 and lost my father not long ago. We spent so much time together and he taught me so many things when I was a kid and in my youth. I also miss him terribly. Life in this world is a weird experience, so wonderful but also so much pain in various forms. I truly miss the 1980s...
@@robert4you Hello thanks for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your dad I understand. I lost mine over 25 years ago. He treated me kind of mean when I was a kid but before he passed he said he was sorry for that I told him it was ok and I loved him he was a good dad.
OMG wasn't the 80s music just fab...what a truly fantastic time to be a teenager...Im 56yrs old and still look back with a wide grin on my face...great times indeed!
I think when this song was released in 1988, most of us 80s kids knew it was instantly our official anthem to the end of a great era. Oh how I miss the 80s!
New Romantic, one of the wonderful styles of the 80s. Thank you Johnny Hates Jazz for this wonderful and dreamy music. Oh yes... and please turn the clock back to the 80s, when there was really beautiful music
I’m 33 years old (born on November 24, 1989). A few years back, I tried to come back to the Navy in hopes of becoming a seafaring Aviator, but the life I had as an enlisted Aircraft Electrician wasn’t the same anymore as I tried to become a Naval Officer. Now, I’m still trying to go Army for flight, instead. Lost my home a few months ago and am now living with grandparents at another town. They were furious about me having a lot of stuff (a trait I got from my birth mother, impulsive buying). To take my mind off of these past few days, I found myself listening to this song on loop. While doing so, I reminisce about my childhood up until now. I remember the people I shouldn’t have disrespected and hurt, the ones I befriended (who eventually turn out to be toxic), and, most painful of all, episodes of abuse from elders within my birth family. Indeed, if I could go back in time to correct a good number of wrongs, I would. But, I can’t turn back the clock and have to do my best to make the most of now and the future
Same here my friend... What we can only do now is to move forward and live life to the fullest.. I hope you succeed to your next goal either big or small.. peace! ✌️
When you're in your 40's and still around the same towns you lived in throughout your life, you see so many changes, and people who once walked the same roads and streets are no longer there, new structures being put up every year, you sit and think quietly to yoursrlf.. "I wish that i could turn back the clock"
Oh the joys of being a child in the 70s and 80s.... No computers,mobiles not really a care in the world. Out playing allday and night apart from going home for some grub.... A very emotive and look back at yesteryear.
Oh! I wish I could "Turn back the Clock" to the '70s & '80s and live in that time zone forever where the Music was the Best and the People were so Friendly and Accommodating.
I really wish if i could turn back the clock, just to enjoy the happiness i had growing up as a teen in 80's. Amazing era to grow up with wonderful music like this❤❤❤❤
If we can only turn back the clock to the 80s
Before WOKE
@@welshhibby Yeah, it's pretty amazing how toxic Woke is, especially when you compare it to the energy of the 80's.
Anyone still listening to this beautiful piece of music in Jan 2024? Beautiful 80's

Music has the power to transport you back to a happier time. They don't write songs like this anymore.

Perfect song for those of us who grew up in the 80’s. I was 7 in ‘80 and 16 in ‘89. Best memories ever.
I was born in 1970. 80s were fantastics. I miss those years a lot.
This song debuted in 1987 and I was 19 y/o.
The A Team, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy...playing out after school and no mobile phones! Oh for just one more day.

I'm probably the only one teenager in the world who listens to this kind of songs every day and I think it's beautiful
You don't believe me. You can't comprehend it. But your teenagehood will go by so fast. Soon you'll look back and go "where did the time go"
Not a teenager anymore, but I grew up in the late 90's/early 2000's and I always come back to 80's music. It's just the best!

So with you Rob, we never had much but we went out and had fun playing football or whatever else was happening. You don't see kids playing much cos on phones or computers.
Same as that…👍🙏🇬🇧..
I’m listening to this song in 2023 & it brings me back to my teenage years when the world was less complicated. I miss the good old days.
No Internet, mobile phones etc to distract from great music!
Me too
Quite the contrary, there was no TH-cam back during the 80s. Only cassettes
Wish the clock could be turned back to the early 80s! 🙏
The 1980's was like a fairy tale compared to today. At least we have good sentimental music like this to reflect back on a better time . The best time to be a teen or young adult.
So very true.
Agreed!
70s were better
B Rollins- I miss the music and some of the fashions, but I grew up as a teen in the '80s. I don't feel the same nostalgia as apparently everyone else. I had a rough time growing up then, with some really painful memories. I'm much more fond of the '90s. I don't think the '80s were as great as everyone says.
@@Sentinel66able Indeed, It was not as great as people make it out to be, though a lot of people who do say they think it was the best were only kids at the time. As an adult I can see I found it to be awful and glad when it was over, the fall of the Berlin War and the end of the Cold War! The only thing I truly enjoyed from the eighties was the music and even then there were some stinkers.
Turn back the clock to the 80's please. Anybody whants to come with me?! Hop on to my time machine.
I am with you!!!!
Take me back to 1986 and I'm not going out. 😂
Ugh, time flies by so fast when you're young and having fun. In a heartbeat, it's gone forever. Summary of those who lived their wonderful youth in the 80's. Cheers to you all fellow Gen Xers. ❤❤❤❤
Coincido absolutamente con vos. Saludos desde Argentina.
Si veloz, mi padre me lo advertía.......y no quiero rendirme a mantener mis sentimientos aunque el tiempo y las experiencias te van limando ..... En qué momento se separan los amigos también.......a veces parece imperceptible.
one of the most underrated songs in history.
Absolutely agree 😊
And bands 😊
Looks like a clip from Stranger Things 😂😂
I enjoyed reading all the comments here.. It let's me know I'm not alone in my feelings and longing for the 80's. Just like all of you.. Cheers everyone!
🥂
im here.
My favorite ere Scott shall we go halves and buy A Delorean and go back lol
Wonderful song always fresh in my mind looking back at my young age when life is less stress and worry -free just listening to good music. I hope I have time machine to turn back time and be kid again...
Nice one Scott 👍👍
Please take me back to the good 80s. We were much happier back then, even without a cell phone and the internet. Today's music has no soul or feeling.
I keep seeing these comments but as a teen ager in the 80s all I remember is endless pairs of headphones on the bus, mates not going out because they were playing Atari, it wasn't that different then essentially except the music was far better
when you wax nostalgia, you gloss over the negatives of that time. i miss a lot of things as a teen of the 80s but it wasn't a perfect time for me.
Vinny Itallo. I don`t get how the internet & a cellphone has become a "HINDRANCE"!!!! to many. & I was 20(b.1963)in `83 so I came thru the 70`s & 80`s & beyond.
That's true
That's right - we were happier. Nobody is happy now in 2020/2021. Nobody.
Such a beautiful song. The older you get, the harder this song hits. I miss the 80s so much, wish I could go back to those days. If only I had a DeLorean time machine. Where's Doc Brown when you need him.
It's so bittersweet ❤😢 Especially now the future seems bleak with all the insanity going on. I am so grateful that at least I have my beautiful 80s memories. Even the 90s were great compared to 2024. Wish you happy days despite.
I'm 55 and I can really tell that we are the blessed generation where we witnessed & heard the golden era of music.. immortal, timeless and epic songs mostly comes from underrated bands. But nevertheless I still appreciate the fact that most people after our genre still loved & appreciate the energy of the 80s!!
When you listen the whole album, you realize this is probably one of the best records produced in the 80s. Better than anything produced by Collins or TFF at that time, which by itself says a lot. Funny that at the time it was released, it was smashed to the ground. Only time proved and revealed all these gems. Even us did not realize how good this was then. Thankfully to become wiser is never to be too late.
I am 56. In my teenage life I don't have internet, smartphones.sony PS 1.
But I have cassette, magazine, radio,and go to movies and hangout with my friend ever weekend ☺️.☺️✌️
Those were the good days with no electronics. All of that has really hurt the kids that live in this generation. So sad that everyone looks for validation in on social media.
This song hit me hard realizing how time flies so fast and you cannot turn back all the times youve missed and end up regretting for the things you never did.
I never did this with them my childhood was mostly in Portugal
My mom wouldn't even let me go outside until she would come from work
@@ruibento9840 It just goes to show that even if you grew up in the same country in the 80's, you might have completely different childhoods. Mine was pretty much like the video. Playing out and riding my bike with my friends till late, watching the Top 20 at Saturdays and watching Shattered Dreams enter the charts, watching Knight Rider on Sundays, and then grab my bike and jump off ramps with my friends, pretending to be riding KITT turbo boosting over the bad guys... 😎
I either regret things I didn't do or things that I did do, but I would not change them because they made me into the man I am today.
Thanks for this Comment. I made choices and said untrue words that negatively affected me.
If I could back the clock to the 80's...
We might not be able to turn back the clock but we can listen to this song, close our eyes and think of the past.
Another fantastic 80s band I enjoyed back when I was 27 now 63 the song is so much more relevant and hits home a lot harder ..."I'd go back if I could"
I grew up in the 80s. Decent pubs and night clubs, superb music, affordable beer😁🍺 I've had my times, no regrets. Wish I could turn back the clock for this generation, iPhone and I
Instagram, zero hr contracts, extortionate rents/house prices, we've let it all go down the pan for the next generation. 😔
well said, countrys gone to dogs sadly
I miss those happy years.... RIP mom and dad, I miss you 😢❤
I’m now 63 I wish I could turn Back the clock 😢
Another great band from the 80's
One of my fav bands of the 80s they still sound great n look good 🎶👍💗,
The pure music. Simple heart touching videos. No cell phones people living life. Real musicians real hardworking people. 80s was an amazing decade
So true!
Yes. It is an era where simple things mean a lot. We cherish the times we spend with friends, unlike today where kids are spending most of their times on gadgets and not playing and socializing outdoors
I wish fones hadn’t been invented. People don’t talk anymore there faces are in their fones constantly. Wish I could turn back the clock as Johnny would say ❤
Echoing similar thoughts...
Yes what happy days they where
THIS SONG TRIGGERS BACK THE INNOCENCE IN US..
long gone
I’m still listening! 55years old but it feels like yesterday.
😢
Yeh . great stuff
Ed Sheeran IS complete tripe
@@robbiehamilton4993 please shoot me
@@robbiehamilton4993 true..nothing but a whingeing snowflake.
Best time of my life is when I am with my mom, dad and siblings, friends, school days and 80's songs (remember the Duran Duran vs. Spandau Ballet? Wham, OMD, Pet Shop Boys, Johnny Hates Jazz, AHA, Tears for Fears, Electric Dreams, The Promise, Sahara Nights, Ghost in You, Peter Cetera, Eurythmics, Phil Collins, David Bowie and a lot more) really wish we could turn back the clock. I'm 59 now and still listening to the New Wave music☺️
The 60s and 80s are the 2 BEST Decades for Music!
I would not skip the 70s, it has real gems too. And also funny, hilarious music to make you smile. I wasn't even born yet but I often listen to 70s music.
The 80s music will always live with me. It never rests. It is full of ballads that bring such life to a miserable existence.
This song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.
this song makes me happy too. to have been there when these songs came out.
ditto
ZanduckTV2
It makes me feel sad. I miss my childhood my own hometown in Connecticut! My old schools my old friends. Playing outside and smelling tbe brownies that mom would make! Those were the days!!!!!
This too shall pass
I feel the same way.... Wish we really could turn back the time....
I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them ... Who knew the 80's were gonna be the best decade! Miss it so much 🥹
Back then, I subconsciously didn't took the 80's for granted. But I felt a big stab in my heart when I graduated from college in '87 and the last remaining moments of the 80's on December 31 1989.😢😢😢😢
I cried watching this. 2019. So much has happened. If i could just go back in time when life was simple and good.
Same here God bless us all
no can do..anly foreworth(3030) sorry
It makes me cry every time I listen to it
Having same feelings 😭😭😭
totally agree , simplicity is good!
A 90s baby here appreciating songs made before I was born. From love songs to slow rock to 80s new wave hits. What would it be like to live in the 80s era.
I was born in 1970. 80s were magical years, life was simple, innocent in some ways. I wish I could back to the 80s. Amazing decade!!!
Just can’t beat the 80s! I feel privileged being able to spend my teenage years in that era.
So innocent
Me too
Totally agree! We were privileged. No doubt about that!
GOD HOW I WISH I COULD TURN BACK THE CLOCK TO 1980, & LIVE IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
Que época, todo era maravilloso. Pero se p erdio sin darnos cuenta....
You are not alone.... I try to bring it forward
Me too 🙏
Me to!!!!
🕰
I am 52 years old and I remember this song with a lot of nostalgia. The 80s are unforgettable for me.
1 m 5o yrs old remember this and lot of ameican bands an solo artists.
Innocent time
I am also 52 years old and I was in high school when I listened to this song❤
If only we could go back to the 80’s 🎉
Got tears in my eyes now, lived thru the 80's era... would do anything
to go back to that time....TURN BACK THE CLOCK .....
I would too.
Definitely. I became a teenager in '81. Best years of my life! X
I know how you feel. I'm very nostalgic now.
Me to its crap today
Memories never die!!!
This song really makes you look back on your life and smile, and sometimes cry.
One of the great songs of the 80s.
bellissima canzone
Damn i miss the 80's so hard! They were the best days of my life!! :-)
+david g Yeah, me too. 80's were absolutly the best. Wish i had a timemachine just to return there forever.
+musiclover17293 EVER AND EVER
+musiclover17293 this song sounds more relevant to you know then than it did before 😊
+TheAstronomyFloyd You're right !!!! .... I wish we could still be in the 80's . Best decade for pop music and for living .
+newtassi no one said you can't live like it's the 80s, just pretend it's 1986 and as soon as 2019/1989 comes around instead of 2020/1990 go back to 1980 😂
Takes me back to my teenage years the best days of my life! Without this soundtrack life would have been so boring but with music like this it was amazing, god bless the music of the 80's!
Great memories. Nothing like growing up in the 80s. 2023 and still listening 💖💖💖💖💖
@Eugene hi
@Eugene I'm doing great how about you?
@Eugene you first buddy
@Eugene India
@Eugene so does my son
Another day is ended
And I still can't sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Lying here in silence
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realize they were the best years of my life
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
You might say it's just a case of giving up
No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Why can't I turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no
I remember when
Life was so good
I'd go back if I could
Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
Thanks for lyric💕💕💕💕
❤
I wake up every day wishing it was the '80s again. Life was so easy and enjoyable then.
Was every single day sunshine and rainbows? That's not what I hear from my parents.
I hate to wake up every single days now :(
I fully agree. People were more sociable. Nowadays, everyone is in a hurry.
just look for one of those funfair fortune telling machines, pull the plug and make a wish.
@@aerdeics992 That's so sad. Some of us would like to meet up for a coffee and laugh for a few minutes.
Just had a vivid dream of an old flame that never went out, and this song played while we were dancing in a supermarket full of people.
Still miss you Eva, after 24 years....
How I wish I can turn the clock back to the 60's & 80's
2024 now and I'm 77yrs old, how wr all miss those good years when we were young, I wish we could turn back time when everything was so simple 😢😢
im 14 now and my dad is the reason im off rap and listening to this. This is what good music is right here. Lets just say the 80's will always win!
Recently turned 50, my mother is sick in hospital I truly hope she gets better,going through an emotional time,wish I could turn back the clock to happier times🙂
THIS SONG IS VERY TOUCHING .WE ALL HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES. I WISH I CAN TURN BACK THE CLOCK TO SEE MY MOM AGAIN I MISS HER TERRIBLY.
Your comment made me cry... I am 52 and lost my father not long ago. We spent so much time together and he taught me so many things when I was a kid and in my youth. I also miss him terribly. Life in this world is a weird experience, so wonderful but also so much pain in various forms. I truly miss the 1980s...
@@robert4you Hello thanks for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your dad I understand. I lost mine over 25 years ago. He treated me kind of mean when I was a kid but before he passed he said he was sorry for that I told him it was ok and I loved him he was a good dad.
Maybe it's because I was child back then and simply unaware of my surroundings but America sure did seem like a much better country back then.
OMG wasn't the 80s music just fab...what a truly fantastic time to be a teenager...Im 56yrs old and still look back with a wide grin on my face...great times indeed!
54 years old brother !!! 80's was the absolute best !!!
@@gener8423 Agreed 👍
36 and battling with cancer. I should've confessed to the love of my life when I was in my 20s.
The 80's where the time when people had hearts for writing the best emotional heart touching most wonderful music ever in time....
I get so nostalgic when I hear 80s music. Then I get depressed because I’m getting old. 😩
How old are you?
you're old after 65. live your life man!
Yes Anthony,all of us are getting old.I was born in '87 and i adore the 80's music.
Me too

I think when this song was released in 1988, most of us 80s kids knew it was instantly our official anthem to the end of a great era. Oh how I miss the 80s!
New Romantic, one of the wonderful styles of the 80s. Thank you Johnny Hates Jazz for this wonderful and dreamy music. Oh yes... and please turn the clock back to the 80s, when there was really beautiful music
I myself am an 80s kid. I'm 51 and let me tell you, the music from that time is wonderful. I miss those times so much. Time to turn back the clock.
Thank you, 80s decade, that you ever existed. The music is marvellous.
PROUD TO BE AN 80'S GIRL ! ! !
80s boy
Certainly the best and most beautiful ones ❤
💯 agree with you😊😊
I’m 33 years old (born on November 24, 1989).
A few years back, I tried to come back to the Navy in hopes of becoming a seafaring Aviator, but the life I had as an enlisted Aircraft Electrician wasn’t the same anymore as I tried to become a Naval Officer.
Now, I’m still trying to go Army for flight, instead.
Lost my home a few months ago and am now living with grandparents at another town. They were furious about me having a lot of stuff (a trait I got from my birth mother, impulsive buying).
To take my mind off of these past few days, I found myself listening to this song on loop. While doing so, I reminisce about my childhood up until now. I remember the people I shouldn’t have disrespected and hurt, the ones I befriended (who eventually turn out to be toxic), and, most painful of all, episodes of abuse from elders within my birth family.
Indeed, if I could go back in time to correct a good number of wrongs, I would. But, I can’t turn back the clock and have to do my best to make the most of now and the future
Same here my friend... What we can only do now is to move forward and live life to the fullest.. I hope you succeed to your next goal either big or small.. peace! ✌️
the 80` s: no smartphones, no social media, no bullshit.........just hanging out with friends and have a good time..........turn back the clock !

No drugs
What a blessing it has been to have lived through the 80s... the golden era of English Pop.
When you're in your 40's and still around the same towns you lived in throughout your life, you see so many changes, and people who once walked the same roads and streets are no longer there, new structures being put up every year, you sit and think quietly to yoursrlf.. "I wish that i could turn back the clock"
I feel like that im in mid 40s now..i look around and everyone has moved on or died..
I wanna cry..
@@antonnyo3694 I did....and do sometimes😞
@@bringthepayne7561 - brings back tons of memories when I younger. Priceless.
Very hard...I'm back in the town I grew up in...but yes nice to be home.
I am very happy now as a grandad, but I still hunger for the very happy days I had in the 80's, they seemed far more innocent and simple.
The 80s were in the Goldilocks zone, not to hot ,not to cold, "JUST RIGHT" life was so much better back then.
Oh the joys of being a child in the 70s and 80s....
No computers,mobiles not really a care in the world.
Out playing allday and night apart from going home for some grub....
A very emotive and look back at yesteryear.
I Agee
Not worrying about getting'likes' on FB, we'd go months n months without taking a photo, was definitely a better, simpler time.
I also agree..late 70's/80s meeting friends, going to gigs and parties all arranged by word of mouth or meeting up at various nights out...
We were so fortunate, was just saying this tonight.
80s. good music, good videos, good life
My heart breaks over and over again every time I listen to this song simply because I miss the best years of my life back in the 80’s.❤️😢

Omg johny hates jazz such a beautiful song the lyrics just every thing about the 80s I truly wish I could turn back the clock lol
Oh! I wish I could "Turn back the Clock" to the '70s & '80s and live in that time zone forever where the Music was the Best and the People were so Friendly and Accommodating.
you have pretty much said what i have been saying and wanting to do all along imagine if it were possible hmm
All of us!!! For sure!
