I was a kid. My dad took the family to Pizza Hut for the first time I was very excited. Best fountain soda Pepsi I've ever had. This song played while we ate our pizza. It was perfect! Shortly thereafter he died in a car accident. This song rings in my head on the regular. God bless. Hits the heart every time.
Sorry for your lost sincerely... I was young also when I lost my father, shortly after Highschool 😢 but just to here songs from my youth brings back a calming mood to me this song is one of them
I discovered MTV back in 1983 at a air force in Florida when i flew back from Europe after being stationed there 7 years, no internet back then, AFN; American forces network radio & tv, snail mail, etc... how things have changed, just saying 🌎😂😊😊
Fall of 1983, I had just started my junior year in college and this song was constantly on the radio. That was one of the best times of my life and "Promises" ALWAYS makes me feel 20 again.
So many 80s songs, like this and so many others had a special feel,a beat an emotion they drive in you that NO OTHER DECADE OR GENERATION CAN REPLICATE! Fkn 80s rule!
The 1980's was the only time period, other than the mid to late 1960's, where the music is inextricably linked to the youth of its day. The music of both era's was fresh, original and unique, it represented its respective youth counterculture.
@@Kyouko1269 I was a child to preteen during that time, and, being an American, it was quite a remarkable musical and cultural experience and exchange. I'm sure a good amount of British (and Irish, Scottish, and Australian) artists loved America, for its strong love and support of their output. In The '80s, The U.S. and England truly felt like "kissing cousins". We still do, actually.
I love this song and this group. All I get is broken promises. I can relate. I don't listen to people anymore. I trust in God. He keeps his promises. God bless you always.
I had just started first grade. Lol, I am 44 now. This easily is in my top 5 80’s songs of all time. My love for 80’s music, especially New Wave, started in Elementary School.
This classic 80's song really carried the 70's disco style of Chic just as David Bowie's Let's Dance did and many other New Wave acts in the early 1980s if you really listen to the rythm. And I think that's really cool! Because even though original disco wasn't embraced in the 80's, the truth is a lot of the great 80s music evolved new amazing dance sounds from the original disco styles of the 70s and especially with Chic's style. Nile Rodgers even collaborated with David Bowie in Let's Dance and Duran Duran with Notorious.
O Ren Ishii New Wave is a genre of music that came about in the late 1970s and was the leading music of the 1980s. It’s most essential instrument is the synthesizer which was a new phenomenon at the time.
I agree..Madonna tried to keep it going but did not catch on.Even Donna Summer the queen of disco tried hard to keep disco going in the early 80s.By the way I like disco.It just came to a dead stop around 1980
Fall of 83’ I was a junior in High School…….This was hands down THE BEST decade ever…….1980 I was in Middle School, and in 1989 I was getting out of the service 🇺🇸😊
I heard this song while at the supermarket, and a flood of memories about the 80s came to me. I got back home and started searching for ABC - Be Near Me, Human League - Only Human, Kajagoogoo - Too Shy, Big Country - In a Big Country, Duran Duran - New Moon on Monday, Billy Idol - Rebel Yell, Art of Noise - Beat Box, Japan - The Art of Party, The Clash - Rock the Casbah, Wang Chung - To Live and Die in LA, Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax. Too many great songs to list! Man, I miss the 80s!!!
One year into my 22 yr Army career. Working 16 hr days, and music sustained me on both radio and MTV. 80's were great. 90's were great. 2000's were great. 2010's were great. 2020's? Let's hope.
@philaman1972 absolutely right! I think my best mix tape had Depeche Mode, INXS, Adam Ant, When in Rome, The Human League, Pet Shop Boy’s man too many to count...remember the cassette tapes that came out for recording songs that had enough tape to record like, geez man, like 30 plus songs on each side... turn it over and like 30 more song songs on that side... I remember rewinding those thick tape cassettes, it took like 5 minutes to like rewind the thing!!!
_Transported back to the 80s..._ 🕞🕝 *This song has successfully taken me back to 1983!* Naked Eyes on the radio, Rubick's Cubes, Videotapes, M&Ms (without the ugly blue ones), and my Walkman! {I wish.} 😞 Thanks for posting this great video!
3 years since you posted this. I just ran across it. Cool song , sad story, my condolences even now. 😢 God Bless you and your family. We'll all be together in THE KINGDOM. Keep jamming...
This song is still my jam today! It sounds in my head like it did at 13 when I first heard it. I played it so much love the guitars in it. Remember my mother thinking that it had a Paul McCartney sound. She starting listening to it.
Never had a doubt In the beginning Never a doubt Trusted too true In the beginning I loved you right through Arm in arm we laughed like kids At all the silly things we did You made me promises promises Knowing I'd believe Promises promises You knew you'd never keep Second time around I'm still believing words that you said You said you'd always be here "In love forever" Still repeats in my head You can't finish what you start If this is love it breaks my heart You made me promises promises You knew you'd never keep Promises promises Why do I believe Arm in arm we laughed like kids At all the silly things we did You can't finish what you start If this is love it breaks my heart You made me promises promises You knew you'd never keep Promises promises Why do I believe All of your promises You knew you'd never keep Promises promises Why do I believe Promises Promises Promises Promises Promises
This song was playing in a grocery store and had me humming along. Went & looked it up, watched the video, and had a blast from the past from the 80s! Lots of memories!
I was living in columbus georgia when this song came out then I was 13 years old in 1984 now I'm 53 wow it's already been 40 years wow 2 generations my word time flies thanks naked eyes 👀 for the memories.
Fall of 83 was so cool, with this and other songs playing all the time. New license, and had just bought my first car at 15, with a decent stereo system, and my folks were out of town for a month!
I used to listen to this time and time again, In a burger bar I worked at in the city of Bath - their home town. Still have the cassette somewhere, it needs an airing !!
Wow!!! Unreal they are from Bath, England? So love learning EVERYTHING about Bath, England! Have for over 30 years. Great Band. Love their music. Another great piece of information and SIGNS
They were both (I think), also involved with Tears for Fears before they hit the "big time". I believe the Tears for Fears duo (also from Bath), live in America now.
Such a Slick concept Song!!!!! I wish the World Leaders could take the Beauty of these stellar Tracks and make it a Better World!!! The world deserves Peace and so do the People!!!! The Music brings people together!!!!!!
Amen to that, yes! I'd be all for it. Let's get Olivia Newton-John on board with this great idea concept, and she'll see that it gets out there, worldwide at that ... promise you on this 👍🙂👍
We Should NOT BREAK Our Promises We Like to Keep Our Promises and Keep our Word and Do It. Just Like God Loves To Keep His Promise and Do His Word He Promises Those That Believe in Him and Follow and Obey him and Love Him Will go to Heaven and have Eternal Life. Just As God Keeps His Promise and Fulfills His Promise and does What he Promises We Should do the Same By Doing His Word to Keep Our Promises to him too. Good Song. 👍 🙂

Yes, it was! I truly miss the good ole days when MTV and VH1 ACTUALLY played videos.
Still Awesomeeee 80s! Forever and always
An instant trip back to the 80's.
Heard this song while playing GTA 5. Amazing song from the 80s.
I'm , police , please pull over ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣💯
Fax same
God, I MISS THE 80's. the movies, fashion and of course, THE MUSIC.
Everything started for me in the 80s..
And the west wasn't swamped with 3rd world hordes.
Para mí está canción es excelente la escuché en lima en 1983 cuando tenía 15 años
That song needs to be played to politicians all over the world 24/7.
Politicians are a totally broken aspect of mankind - World Leaders take Note!!!!!!!!
😂😂
Most Def
No lies detected
No kidding😊
An all-time great record 👏🏿 👌🏾 👍🏾. Another ultimate 80s hit!
Graduated high school in 84 n this song was out shortly after school liked those mellow songs from the eighties ooopps going down memory lane
85 and this one of those hidden gems
Peaked at number 3 in 1983 actually.
Wow never thought when this song came out I would be watching/listening almost some 40yrs later through a phone 📱 def one of my favs from the 80s
It's really weird going back and seeing what all these bands looked like in real life. I only had 2 or 3 channels and no MTV back in the day
@@paul6925 we had it ruff but was a better time 🤝🏽
so did I ....40 years later.. flashback from the manila club scene.. with the best looking women in manila..
Chicago- My thoughts exactly! Was just watching Aimee Mann ‘Til Tuesday Voices Carry. loved that song. still moves me

One of the best 80's songs ever
Fall of 1983, I had just started my junior year in college and this song was constantly on the radio. That was one of the best times of my life and "Promises" ALWAYS makes me feel 20 again.
Same here. I was living the time of my life.
It make me feel 7 or 6 years old. Horrible time here in Perú, but good music in the fucking radio.
AMEN TO THAT. There are millions of us who could say the same thing...
Totally. I, too, was a college freshman in 1983. It brings back memories of me as an 18 year old.
@@doyleperkins4916 I was an 18 year old college frosh Fall '83 as well, Kent State Univ. Pop boy to the max and this gem was front and center.
I remember hearing this song as a kid in 1983 maybe. I loved it so much. Still do. So cool ❤
Naked Eyes 1983 Nostalgia big 80 MTV
One of the best 80's songs that I will never get tired of listening to!
Unfortunately no-one knows this song in Britain because it wasn't a hit here, despite the band being from the UK.
* '80s *to
Me too.
You know it man.
Which year did this come out?
80's music and the MTV era. Where did the good times go?
I built a time machine!!!
I don't know, but the 80's had some of the best music!
Money and politics got involved, MTV forgot their roots :( i miss those days
Time goes by too fast, enjoy your life...
I love 80s and i was born in 80 .
☆LONG LIVE THE 80'S☆
The Big 80s !
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This song! Brings backs so many memories--love the sound.
So many 80s songs, like this and so many others had a special feel,a beat an emotion they drive in you that NO OTHER DECADE OR GENERATION CAN REPLICATE! Fkn 80s rule!
This song embodies and exemplifies all the qualities that the new romantic genre and sound was about.
The 1980's was the only time period, other than the mid to late 1960's, where the music is inextricably linked to the youth of its day. The music of both era's was fresh, original and unique, it represented its respective youth counterculture.
What a classic hit early MTV days
Yes,even in 2019.
The 2nd British wave was unbelievable. It arguably nearly dominated popular US music in the 80's
The New Wave/Synth Pop from the UK at that time was truly incredible.
@@Kyouko1269 I was a child to preteen during that time, and, being an American, it was quite a remarkable musical and cultural experience and exchange. I'm sure a good amount of British (and Irish, Scottish, and Australian) artists loved America, for its strong love and support of their output. In The '80s, The U.S. and England truly felt like "kissing cousins". We still do, actually.
So true!
@@Kyouko1269 Yes it was indeed. Seems that style of music will never again be repeated, but that is good as it was truly unique and one of a kind.
UK music will always be superior compared to US that’s just facts.
Definitely one for time capsule!
Brings back so many great memories.
This song slaps 👌🏽
One of the best songs that music has to offer,the feel,the tone and the emotion all in one!
I love this song and this group. All I get is broken promises. I can relate. I don't listen to people anymore. I trust in God. He keeps his promises. God bless you always.
Your comment is exactly my reasoning and why I like this song too! People will let you down but God never fails!
yea, the Shrewdies can't fool us anymore thank God.

I had just started first grade. Lol, I am 44 now. This easily is in my top 5 80’s songs of all time. My love for 80’s music, especially New Wave, started in Elementary School.
👏👏👏👏I was in 6th grade. Loved these classics as well way back then!
Exactly me too lol 😂 I was. Listening to new wave music And punk in elementary school that where it all started
Takes me back to the early 80's when MTV played videos all day long....Great song, love the production.
A Nile Roger's production.
Sophomore Year of high school... Still loving it after all these years!
I was 12 then but definitely remember this on the radio and loving it!!🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️
86 grad?
Me too! Sophomore here in northern Illinois. I'm 15 all over again when I hear rhis and Saved by zero by Fixx LOVE
@@toddhouston9531 I LOVE THE FIXX! I saw them years ago and I loved every minute of it!
add me to that list of sophomores. What a great time for music and life in general
Best decade ever...
this song so hits home for me. I'm not sure why but I do know it's one of the best song to come out of the 80's.
Yes it does for me too , also Benjamin Orr “Stay the night” ...
Awesome days
The way thing were then.. Gone, were the easy days.
as a kid growing up in the Caribbean this was music to my ears when I first heard this in the 80s
Some of the best guitar riffs and percussion EVER. I will love this song until the day I die.☺
Man the spring of '83 was the greatest of my life even though I was born in '85.
"You made me promises promises" Love this song. I remember this song as a teenager ☺
Me too. I was 14 in the summer of 1983 and this was one of my favorite tunes...and it still is.😁

Chic and Nile Rogers, it was pure R&B , disco was a corporate term,,, good beat easy to dance to instant classic
I love that sound and recently noticed it myself!

Me too this is when music was good
I was 2 years old when this came out but lucky enough to be an 80s baby and grow up with great music like this!
Fall of 83’ I was a junior in High School…….This was hands down THE BEST decade ever…….1980 I was in Middle School, and in 1989 I was getting out of the service 🇺🇸😊

2 of the greatest songs of the 80's....
Promises and One thing leads to another
Never had a doubt
In the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted too true
In the beginning
I loved you right through
Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
You made me promises promises
Knowing I'd believe
Promises promises
You knew you'd never keep
Second time around
I'm still believing words that you said
You said you'd always be here
"In love forever"
Still repeats in my head
You can't finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart
You made me promises promises
You knew you'd never keep
Promises promises
Why do I believe
Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
You can't finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart
You made me promises promises
You knew you'd never keep
Promises promises
Why do I believe
All of your promises
You knew you'd never keep
Promises promises
Why do I believe
Promises
Promises
Promises
Promises
Promises
The lyrics of the LP version differs in the second verse ;)
Trusted you true
This song was playing in a grocery store and had me humming along. Went & looked it up, watched the video, and had a blast from the past from the 80s! Lots of memories!
Forty years ago, British pop band Naked Eyes made "Promises, Promises" to music fans worldwide. Naked Eyes delivered!
I was in High school when this song came out. It was during "the British invasion" era of music. It was the best. I miss those days so much
For me , this was a very special song.
80s ❤🎶 forever ❤🥂💯
Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
You can't finish what you start
If this is love it breaks my heart

I can't say enough about this one, it transports every emotion to "Those DAYS".🤔🕔🎶💖🧠🌈
There will never be another time greater than the 80s....
More 80's please??? It's been years since I heard this. A lot of years!!...
Fall of 83 was so cool, with this and other songs playing all the time. New license, and had just bought my first car at 15, with a decent stereo system, and my folks were out of town for a month!
I lost my father in 2009, ironically I was in the car with him in 1999 the first time I heard Def Leppard's song "Promises".
I used to listen to this time and time again, In a burger bar I worked at in the city of Bath - their home town.
Still have the cassette somewhere, it needs an airing !!
Wow!!! Unreal they are from Bath, England? So love learning EVERYTHING about Bath, England! Have for over 30 years. Great Band. Love their music. Another great piece of information and SIGNS
They were both (I think), also involved with Tears for Fears before they hit the "big time".
I believe the Tears for Fears duo (also from Bath), live in America now.
Awesome song 🎵 ❤
My life brought me to this amazing tune. I´m in my 50´s

I absolutely adore this song. Been singing it to myself occasionally since 1st hearing it♡♡♡♡
Are you ever going to adjust the volume on this song so it can actually be heard?
Mike Epps brought me here dope 80s track
This was a #1 Billboard single.
One of the great breakup songs of the 80s. It puts me right back in a time when love was a roller coaster.
