The song is saying that *not* breaking your stride is a bad thing, because you'll miss out on life. It is not an anthem celebrating refusing to 'slow down.' In fact, the song might even be subtly arguing that you did break your stride (stop the rush of life) in order to listen to it. Stride broken.
@@Cumslut720 They also had bad music, but why bother remembering it now? Same will happen with the 2000s and the 2010s. In the long run, only the best of the best will remain.
This song made me so happy in the 80's. I was around 16 and in love with a beautiful girl...hearing it now takes me back to those wonderful times, being free and careless
For those of you wondering, the Key signature of this recording is F+25% major at a metronomic velocity of 108 beats per minute. Which means you need to retune your synthesizer about 25% up from base and play in F.
There's NO WAY you don't whistle, sing along or dance when this song comes on.. Also, chorus feels like a back rub on the spot you cannot reach. Insane. 10/10.
Was in college at age 39 when this came out. Got my BA , then onto an M.Div. and onto life in faith. Took me a while, but now I am 70, and though a bit slower, my stride is not yet broken. Theme song of my life.
Patricia, the math doesn't add up since this song was out in early '84, but at our age who's counting? I'm not going to break anyone's stride or slow anyone down that was in college at age 39. You go gurl!
this was my mom’s favorite song, when i used to put it, she used to dance in all the house, and i was like amazed about how she felt alive when she sang it and dance it, now it’s a memory which lives in my mind, she passed away one month ago and i feel like i’m dying withouth her
If either of mh parents died I would go through anything to bring them back, which is why I feel so sorry for you and what are going through must be bad. But cheer up, atleast you remember her which is more than what some people can say.
I was a counselor at a residential treatment center for kids and showed them this song as a motivational tool. They loved it so much and asked me to play it for them every shift thereafter. It’s amazing how music can be healing and inspiring. We must always seek the message in the music and the music in the message. This song has it all.
I've always liked this song since it came out in 1984. In 1997, the Denver Broncos payed tribute to their running back Terrell Davis with video clips of him running over defenders with this song playing on the video en route to the Superbowl. Great memories! 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍😊😊👍😊😊😊😊
If you listen to the lyrics, the song's about this guy having a dream about sailing to China and encountering his friend, who's racing to the Laundromat.

I came here because of my dad, he used to hear this song when he was happy. This December 25th will be the 12th anniversary of his death. I miss you singing this song, dad.

ight, fixed. I kinda feel dumb, but i was writing that comment at late night and my brain (which isn't even that efficient to begin with) was partly off xD

Except it IS deep and complex. The chorus is completely deceptive, written totally from the perspective of the person the narrator is being broken up with by. The verses are just Matthew Wilder staring at this asshole who obviously didn't make their true feelings clear from the beginning going, "This is how they see what they're doing. As some kind of escapist vacation where my feelings mean nothing. What a load of bullshit!" It's genius.

I'm class of 1987 and the 80's were some of the best years of my life! Life held so much promise back then despite all the problems that were around. Wonderful memories growing up with family and friends. I wish I could go back and do it all again but sadly those days will never return. Thank you for uploading this great song.
@@abigailrogers6354 Don’t feel sad. The technology available to your generation these days is incredible. I would’ve loved to have had something as simple as a mobile phone as it would’ve made my life so much easier but I’ve got no regrets. I wouldn’t trade my childhood and teenage years for anything. It was a very special time for me and I consider myself fortunate to have grown up during the 70’s and 80’s. You would’ve loved it. Take care and stay safe with this nasty virus going around.
My mom always tell me the same thing, every time she speaks about how good the 80's were, you can see the emotion in her eyes, indescriptible, definitely it was an amazing time to be alive
Btw for all those people who don’t know what serotonin it is a substance released by your body that makes you sleep. It often found in certain meats as well

I used this song for my posing routine for Mr. Kentucky Body building age over 39. I was forty years old and placed 5. That was 39 years ago in Louisville, KY at the Gult House Hotel in 1982. I am 78.5 years old and still going strong.
I do have to laugh because that verse stuck out to me too. I keep in touch with an old boyfriend from back in high school days he's married and has been for a couple decades but we still touch base once in awhile, we don't talk too much because he's married, but it's nice to stay in touch with someone from your past, even though when we were just kids we broke up, we had a miscarriage, we didn't end up getting married. Who is a bit on the wild side, he was straight laced. BUT I told him recently I thought it was important that we stay friends for the rest of our lives,..He agreed.🎉❤
After having this song stuck in my head, for the last few months, decided to listen to it. This song, among others, is now helping me understand that life "doesn't stop". I've been through hell, from being a victim of bullying, that lasted 12 years, to ending up in hospital, on more than one occasion, with 2019 being the most recent due to a severe health issue, I've pushed through the bad situations, no matter how painful they've been. Even though I have to contend with depression, and multiple forms of anxiety, the meaning of this song is always going to push me to keep on moving. I failed the same course of study 4 times, due to mental health and life, and physical health, and even though I failed it that many times, I'm still going to go back to finish it, to achieve my dreams. I'm only 27, and grew up listening to songs from the 70's and 80's, and this helps to keep me inspired, among other songs
Bro bullying is no fun I know that too so I understand what you have gone through and I want you to know that you should never give up on them and if you ever wanted to give up come listen to this song and read all the replies you will soon get from other people. I believe in you and your dreams :)
@@erikmladek yeah, I don't intend to quit my studies. I'm not studying ATM, since I want my health to be a bit better, but I do intend to go back next year. I haven't been known to quit. Hell, I have 2 of the best friends I never asked for, and they know that I won't stop when times are tough
Keep on moving man. When life gives you shit, punch it in the face no matter how much you suffer. As long as you punch it in the face, you pull out on top.
Everyone here isn't taking me seriously like it's a VERY serious thing right now and few hundred people have died and they are making jokes around here.
Going sleep after school so we could go to the roller rink at night, with my strap on skates and doing my best to keep up on 5 yr old legs when it was the "men only" 5 minutes, with this playing in the background. Here, have mine :)
Personally I feel like this is a very popular song which I’ve always known, but I don’t think that’s the case from what I see in the comments, so this is very weird.

@@Megatraum504 Tell me about it. Some songs just hit right for everyone, no matter their age or music style.
Except it IS deep and complex. The chorus is completely deceptive, written totally from the perspective of the person the narrator is being broken up with by. The verses are just Matthew Wilder staring at this asshole who obviously didn't make their true feelings clear from the beginning going, "This is how they see what they're doing. As some kind of escapist vacation where my feelings mean nothing. What a load of bullshit!" It's genius.
@@zorantaylor3190 what I love is how it ends up being him singing the chorus. He ended up being influenced by this woman
Never want another girl like you
I have to say

MY THIRD BEST SONG OF THE 80S. NO comparison at all. Superb hit all time fave
What about the 2nd and 1st
It's biologically impossible to be sad while listening to this song
Heard this on the radio tonight and I just had to smile. Had a real shit day too
True 👍 ✔ 👍 ✔
Correct.
nostalgia maybe
@@chillkid572 more likely be the rhythm of the song
Love this! The harmony keeps on moving, then the dude literally says "I've got to keep on moving". 80s kids got the best music 🥲
Ya they were the lucky ones
yah, makes me jealous 🫤
Indeed we did
And kids 90s too 😢
We did!!!
This song is and always will be a vibe. 😍
🤘
Nobody is gonna break my stride when this is playing
@@TantalumPolytope right 💯
Yeah!!!
Yes it is..I Love it!
I discovered this song on a That's What I Call Music album back in the 80s. I've been listening ever since.
Matthew Wilder: "Nobody gonna slow me down"
Me: Sets speed to 0.75
Matthew Wilder: "O..h.. N..o..."
Omfg that is so underrated
Lol
That's it folks. Pack it in
I laughed really hard when I read this
Spat out my coffee 🤘
It cured my depression.
like you ever had one edge lord
@@oreosvks lol how is that edgy are you 5?
Don’t gate keep depression you might not know what other people experience. 🗿👀
Lol like you ever had depression
I consider this a happy song, too.

“Is that the reason why your r’r’runing so fast?”
I remember the reason I won dodgeball for my team was because I kept dodging and made one of the players cross the line good times
Listening to this, I felt the bittersweet sense of nostalgia, back when I was living my childhood in New York. I miss those days..
Makes me think of the man I almost married in Dallas. He said this was me dead out!

I'm class of 1987 and the 80's were some of the best years of my life! Life held so much promise back then despite all the problems that were around. Wonderful memories growing up with family and friends. I wish I could go back and do it all again but sadly those days will never return. Thank you for uploading this great song.
Not just my parents are saying it now people on the internet are too, great! ●_● btw I mean no hate just trying to make a joke.
Makes me sad to be a part of the generation I am. I've always wished to live back in those days.
@@abigailrogers6354 Don’t feel sad. The technology available to your generation these days is incredible. I would’ve loved to have had something as simple as a mobile phone as it would’ve made my life so much easier but I’ve got no regrets. I wouldn’t trade my childhood and teenage years for anything. It was a very special time for me and I consider myself fortunate to have grown up during the 70’s and 80’s. You would’ve loved it. Take care and stay safe with this nasty virus going around.
The 80's were one of the best years
My mom always tell me the same thing, every time she speaks about how good the 80's were, you can see the emotion in her eyes, indescriptible, definitely it was an amazing time to be alive
thank you Matthew Wilder for creating this iconic dog song.
Such a happy and upbeat song. I love it.
@ThePoeticGoddess The rythm and melody sounds extremely happy and upbeat though
@@TantalumPolytopeIt's a bit melancholic, though.
this song:
me: mm serotonin
babey bee periodt
100%
This song was used in a Spanish seretonin pills ad 💀💀
@@alvaro-ho5do link..??
Btw for all those people who don’t know what serotonin it is a substance released by your body that makes you sleep. It often found in certain meats as well
This song literally saved my life several times
You're amazing, Matthew Wilder ❤
It's saving mine right now!😊
❤❤❤💥👠🕊
This is 2025 energy 💯.. Thanks Matthew💚🤩🙏💎
Songs incredibly addictive his voice is amazing he's very artistic outstanding an amazing influence on so many

HAHAHA I thought this was funny and I took time out of my day to laugh at this! What would I have done with myself if I didn't stop to read this funny and original joke! For a second, I didn't get it, because it said 'yes', and once i got it it was so wacky!! I can't stop laughing!!! Also my mom said to get off my phone because I'm at my dad's funeral, but I can't!

@@kylevanity thats deep bro 😔✊
oft unterschätzt, für mich einer der grössten Hits aller Zeiten.
I used this song for my posing routine for Mr. Kentucky Body building age over 39. I was forty years old and placed 5. That was 39 years ago in Louisville, KY at the Gult House Hotel in 1982. I am 78.5 years old and still going strong.
Dang. 1982, that is very impressive!
😁😁😎
Proud to hear it, Ismael! I know exactly where you mean in Louisville, and I hope you're doing well today. Don't let COVID get you man, keep strong!
Stay strong keep going man

Heard this on the radio today, june 18, 2024, missed most of it, thats why im here on youtube to listen again.
I'm in an 80's tribute Band , we are learining this , it's a song that epitomisesthe 80s sound.
And tropical sound
Great song choice!
That is awesome.
Its very inspiring
"You look at me and you see your past, is that the reason your running so fast?" Very powerful line.
Edit: Mom I'm famous!
I do have to laugh because that verse stuck out to me too.
I keep in touch with an old boyfriend from back in high school days he's married and has been for a couple decades but we still touch base once in awhile, we don't talk too much because he's married, but it's nice to stay in touch with someone from your past, even though when we were just kids we broke up, we had a miscarriage, we didn't end up getting married. Who is a bit on the wild side, he was straight laced. BUT I told him recently I thought it was important that we stay friends for the rest of our lives,..He agreed.🎉❤

After having this song stuck in my head, for the last few months, decided to listen to it.
This song, among others, is now helping me understand that life "doesn't stop". I've been through hell, from being a victim of bullying, that lasted 12 years, to ending up in hospital, on more than one occasion, with 2019 being the most recent due to a severe health issue, I've pushed through the bad situations, no matter how painful they've been. Even though I have to contend with depression, and multiple forms of anxiety, the meaning of this song is always going to push me to keep on moving. I failed the same course of study 4 times, due to mental health and life, and physical health, and even though I failed it that many times, I'm still going to go back to finish it, to achieve my dreams. I'm only 27, and grew up listening to songs from the 70's and 80's, and this helps to keep me inspired, among other songs
Bro bullying is no fun I know that too so I understand what you have gone through and I want you to know that you should never give up on them and if you ever wanted to give up come listen to this song and read all the replies you will soon get from other people. I believe in you and your dreams :)
@@erikmladek yeah, I don't intend to quit my studies. I'm not studying ATM, since I want my health to be a bit better, but I do intend to go back next year. I haven't been known to quit. Hell, I have 2 of the best friends I never asked for, and they know that I won't stop when times are tough
Keep on moving man. When life gives you shit, punch it in the face no matter how much you suffer. As long as you punch it in the face, you pull out on top.
Staind - So Far Away
That song is for you
You have determination, and I admire that. You've inspired me. I pray you will realize your dream.

Everyone here isn't taking me seriously like it's a VERY serious thing right now and few hundred people have died and they are making jokes around here.

Abby Baby it’s not racist but ok
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
this song gives me nostalgia that I don't have
Going sleep after school so we could go to the roller rink at night, with my strap on skates and doing my best to keep up on 5 yr old legs when it was the "men only" 5 minutes, with this playing in the background.
Here, have mine :)
Personally I feel like this is a very popular song which I’ve always known, but I don’t think that’s the case from what I see in the comments, so this is very weird.
Welcome to the fake nostalgia gang
First reaction: hahahahaha
Second reaction: that’s a fair point
Tbh same
