You had to live in the 1980’s to realise you were living in a very special decade for appreciating such beautiful songs. I am now 61 and very glad I was part of this superb time on planet earth. Hello from Scotland.
Feels like Heaven....🙏🏼😇🙏🏼 Auch nach sooovielen Jahren immer wieder hörbar eine Melodie für die EWIGKEIT - der Song wird immer zu meinen allergrößten Favorites der 80's gehören & niemals in Vergessenheit geraten 🥲!!!
When the record was released, I was 20, bought it right away and did not stop listening to it. Now I am sixty, and I am still in love with this beautiful song. And it takes me back to the 80ies, a wonderful time full of sensational music.
80' rock. I loved that era being born in 1966. Got to grow up in 2 brilliant decades of the 1970's and 1980's. Transport me back. One of the most good things of this generation is being able to watch stuff like this on TH-cam!!!!❤
Let me guess....you were a teenager in the 80s. Those who were teenagers in the 70s say that the best decade was the 70s. And the same goes for those in the 60s, 40s, etc.
@@archivoscineytv8032 No! I was born in 1977 but I heard music since I was a small child. I grew up with 80s music and still got goosebomps when I hear it.
@@marioramus9681 That's exactly what I meant. You grow up with 80s music, that´s what you say it´s the best decade ever. People who grew up with 50's music, say that that is the best decade ever. Same with the 30s, 40s, 60s etc
You're 50 and I'm turning 60 in the 2 weeks I still feel the same on these remarkable 80s music. The Best years of my life. Just listen to these music if you feel down and it will energized you!
This is one of the most underrated and outstanding songs of the 80’s. Says something that 35 years later we are still playing it and most importantly still loving it. 80’s forever!
I was 20 when this song came out in 1983. Now at 58 and still loving this song. New wave 80s music simply the best. How old were you when you first heard this song? Share your 80s experience.
Soy de Chile, tenia 15 años cuando ecuche este gran tema por primera vez, hoy con 52 años la sigo disfrutando, la escuché hoy como tema final de una película "ecos en la oscuridad ". Saludos desde Chile, en mis vacaciones
me too! I was 19 ... spent years trying to keep humming it so I didn't forget it, as I hadn't been allowed to buy it ... none of my friends knew it! Took years to hear it again ...
When we were kids we couldn't wait to grow up, now we are probably halfway through our life thinking gosh the younger days were the best times in my whole life. Music like this helps resonate the feeling.
@@michaelplein9402 I had my phone play this 3 days after he died. Impossible to stop! Was witnessed. So I guess it's a message from him. Was v close. So I had it played at his funeral. I did remember the song after I heard it, but not heard since it was released.
they are back, so to speak. They jus went Quiet, didnt-Go-Away ! They can fill these tought times with fun... with laughter and with sincerity. And as the hippies rightly said.. make LOVE not war (!)
I'm 55 years old and still hard for me to explain my feelings when I hear my favorite songs from the 80S just me and my self know how deep they are alone in this world
I had the intro melody of this song stuck in my head for almost half my lifetime, but I didn't know how to find the band's or the song's name, knowing well that the chance of finding out decreases with each passing hour due to more and more music being created and less people essentially remembering this song... ...Until yesterday evening, when I heard it play on the radio in a pub I was sitting in. I'd never ran so fast to a radio with the Shazam app open in my life. One of my life's mysteries solved. I'm on the verge of tears right now.
It warms my heart to see that there are still teens who love this kind of music. It's priceless. I'm 17 and I grew up listening to music like this thanks to my father.

Damit bin ich aufgewachsen. Was für ein gefühlvoller schöner Song. Schade dass diese Zeiten nie zurückkehren. Die 80er Jahre waren das Allerbeste, was viele von uns erleben durften. Ich werde und kann diese Zeit nie vergessen. ❤❤❤
Du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Kann mich noch genau erinnern, wann ich das Lied das erstemal gehört habe...meine ältere Schwester hatte es gerade laufen, als ich in ihrem Zimmer war. Fand das Lied sofort total schön.
This has been my favourite si since day of release, closely followed by- the lotus eaters - first picture of you, Blancmange - waves, China crises - wishful thinking, Yazoo- nobody's diary, the assembly - never never.❤
I am german (born 1971) and 95% of my CDs are from british musicians of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The most impressive live gigs I saw where Genesis and Pink Floyd.
Heaven is closer now today The sound is in my ears I can't believe the things you say They echo what I fear Twisting the bones until they snap I scream but no one knows You say I'm familiar, cold to touch And then you turn and go Feels like heaven Feels like heaven See how we planned for saddened eyes And tears to pave the way I fought the fever as I knew My hair returned to gray Study your face and fade the frame Too close for comfort now We can recall the harmony That lingered but turned sour Feels like heaven Feels like heaven You wanted all I had to give See me, I feel, see me, I live Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer) Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer) Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer) Feels like heaven (Heaven is closer) (Heaven is closer) Feels like hea... ven.
I remember getting one of those “Now that’s what I call music” tapes, I think it was no. 2, and this track was on it. I’d just got my first car, after five winters on motorcycles. Knackered rusty Ford with a whining third gear and wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding it might have been, but I’d fitted a decent, used stereo and twin spotlights, and making the run home to Guildford from a weekend with my girlfriend in Salisbury, inevitably very late on a Sunday night, I felt like a king. The car is long gone. I’m still with the same girl ❤ Love this song.
The music, lyrics, tone in his voice..the audio definition of bittersweet. I was born in '91, but I so love the music of the 80s. Y'all were on a deeper level back then. Peace.
Molly I dont think we were on a deeper level, it was just a time, electro pop was born, new romantics, a new era. It was a birth of news sounds for our generation, I am so grateful I grew up in the Eighties and so glad you like our sounds xx

Thank you!! I'm listening to this while on phone and can't look at the lyrics and listen to this masterpiece simultaneously. Your comment changes that!
Unappreciated? This song blasted like hell, it was all over the radio and tv. It was one of the most appreciated songs in its time. I thing it still is well rated arround.

I'm 41 years of age and all that life has thrown at me over the years melts away and I can dream again when I hear this song. Absolute beautiful classic rediscovered thanks to lock down. Hope all are well.
49 in August, makes me feel like a teenager. Takes me back to my typical council estate secondary school in Birmingham with no cares in the world apart from Girls😂😂, awesome times
That is so true ! Even though I'm more of a 60's and 70's man - I must admit that for POP music this was a golden era. I've never bought as many 45 singles as I did during the 80's and well into the 90's. Every week I bought from 2 or 3 to 4, 5 or 6 singles - and one hit after another just kept pouring out. And there were so many talented Artists and Bands that were struggling to reach the highest positions on the charts. But then, around 2000 it all suddenly died out. These days, perhaps I hear one POP song per month that has something similar to what was being cranked out every week during the 80's. "Rolling In the Deep" was a good one - and it gave me a flashback back to the 80's when I heard it - but it's really hard for me to think of any other really good ones from the last 2 decades. There are still some good music being made - but they are not what you can call POP songs.
Despite the easy and basic chords this beautiful song evokes so many wonderful feelings. Loving it until now. No songs of today can measure up to what was made back in the 80s.
The lyrics are so deep to me. "Heaven is closer now today" to me means he feels close to death at having lost her! I love 80s music for having suck dark lyrics set to upbeat music. Like Enola Gay, etc!
A. C. M. ...absolutely. Such a good song about Lucifer's sad , pointless descent from the gardens of paradise, into the lonesome desolate world of savage desire in his fractured heart. ..and now look where we find ourselves...in a demented state where the unsympathetic tyrannical grip of the banking system of globalists & corporations weigh down heavy upon our poor collective consciousness 's, like an avalanche of back-breaking steel/concrete mixed gravity. Where pathetic cries of "Alluha Akbar" are attempting to make us lose our way from visions de l'âme éternelle. .....or something. 🎩
OMG how I miss the 80s. I wish I had a time machine and go back for a while. I am grateful to God to have lived through those fantastic years. It felt like heaven.

Kann mich noch genau erinnern, wann ich das Lied das erstemal gehört habe...meine ältere Schwester hatte es gerade laufen, als ich in ihrem Zimmer war. Fand das Lied sofort total schön.
Born in 1971...arnold
Du sprichst mir aus dem Herzen
Stimmt, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Smiths, Simple Minds, U2... wir liebten andere Menschen, jetzt...?
Fiction Factory,Erasure,OMD,Pet Shop Boys,Depeche Mode,Eurythmics...Great UK Synthpop Groups ! Greets From Poland ;-)
And then there's Duran Duran,Spandau Ballet,Culture Club,Wham,Tears for Fears..
Synth pop from the 80s ❤️
Tak jest! Zgadzam się w 100%❤️
Same diamenty❤️❤️❤️
Niebawem 10 września koncert Fiction Factory na Craigie Hill Festival .
Great taste!
Surprised they weren't bigger than they were - his voice is just amazing - my favourite song of the 80's is Fiction Factory and Feels like Heaven :)
This has been my favourite si since day of release, closely followed by- the lotus eaters - first picture of you, Blancmange - waves, China crises - wishful thinking, Yazoo- nobody's diary, the assembly - never never.❤
A forgotten masterpiece.
Dam right.
Dam right.
Dam right.
Dam right.

Timeless classic ....best years of my life growning up in the 80's and listening to this sort of music
One of my favorite songs from the 80s ❤❤❤❤❤
Not just one of the best songs of the 80s but of all time. Sheer brillance.
TOTALLY AGREE 👍
This song is the very best of the 80's 🏴

Still listening in Dec 2024...What a song...oh my...
Most definately the best definately the best decade musically!!
Definitely best decade and my favourite song of all time, my top 5 is amazing in my opinion 😮😮
I am german (born 1971) and 95% of my CDs are from british musicians of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The most impressive live gigs I saw where Genesis and Pink Floyd.
Ich bin JG 67 und völlig deiner Meinung
Peter Silie me 61 best I saw guns n roses 🇬🇧♥️🇩🇪🥂👍☘️🙏🏻
I lived in Germany in the 80s, fantastic memories.
Have you sepearte them from Scottish and English instead?
Tolle Zeit
Heaven is closer now today
The sound is in my ears
I can't believe the things you say
They echo what I fear
Twisting the bones until they snap
I scream but no one knows
You say I'm familiar, cold to touch
And then you turn and go
Feels like heaven
Feels like heaven
See how we planned for saddened eyes
And tears to pave the way
I fought the fever as I knew
My hair returned to gray
Study your face and fade the frame
Too close for comfort now
We can recall the harmony
That lingered but turned sour
Feels like heaven
Feels like heaven
You wanted all I had to give
See me, I feel, see me, I live
Feels like heaven
(Heaven is closer)
(Heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven
(Heaven is closer)
(Heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven
(Heaven is closer)
(Heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven
(Heaven is closer)
(Heaven is closer)
Feels like hea... ven.
Thanks so much for the lyrics 😊
A song as old as I am ✨
I remember getting one of those “Now that’s what I call music” tapes, I think it was no. 2, and this track was on it.
I’d just got my first car, after five winters on motorcycles. Knackered rusty Ford with a whining third gear and wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding it might have been, but I’d fitted a decent, used stereo and twin spotlights, and making the run home to Guildford from a weekend with my girlfriend in Salisbury, inevitably very late on a Sunday night, I felt like a king.
The car is long gone. I’m still with the same girl ❤
Love this song.
Einer der besten Songs der 80er. Da kommen Erinnerungen hoch. ❤
The music, lyrics, tone in his voice..the audio definition of bittersweet. I was born in '91, but I so love the music of the 80s. Y'all were on a deeper level back then. Peace.
couldnt be more agreed, love ✌🏻 🌠
yes we were
Molly I dont think we were on a deeper level, it was just a time, electro pop was born, new romantics, a new era. It was a birth of news sounds for our generation, I am so grateful I grew up in the Eighties and so glad you like our sounds xx
Well said
Life was so different back then.
Heaven is closer now today
The sound is in my ears
I can't believe the things you say
They echo what I fear
Twisting the bones until they snap
I scream but no one knows
You say I'm familiar, cold to touch
And then you turn and go
Feels like heaven
Feels like heaven
See how we planned for saddened eyes
And tears to pave the way
I fought the fever as I knew
My hair returned to gray
Study your face and fade the frame
Too close for comfort now
We can recall the harmony
That lingered but turned sour
Feels like heaven
Feels like heaven
You wanted all I had to give
See me, I feel, see me, I live
Feels like heaven
(Heaven is closer)
(Heaven is closer)
Feels like heaven
(Heaven is closer)
(Heaven is closer)
Thank you!! I'm listening to this while on phone and can't look at the lyrics and listen to this masterpiece simultaneously. Your comment changes that!
Thanks theslimjim
Merci
an everlasting masterpiece into musical eternity...my youth memory will never die thanks to this song....
Can't Get OVER The FACT This SONG is already 40yrs old
Nothing these days comes close to this, classic song very underrated.
80s music: Feels like Heaven
2010s music: Feels like Hell
Song is brilliant, and unappreciated. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
Unappreciated? This song blasted like hell, it was all over the radio and tv. It was one of the most appreciated songs in its time. I thing it still is well rated arround.
At the time, but unfortunately you never hear it on tv or radio now. They prefer playing shite
@@kieran19821Aye, yer right there pal.
I agree..one of the best songs ever
This song takes me back when I had my brother, teens talking about everything. I lost him in 1999 in a military accident. RIP DAVID

Hermoso tema y la verdad, llega en lo más profundo de tus memorias de aquellos y buenos años '80s.
Saludos 🇵🇪
A true classic of the 80’s …….songs don’t even begin to come close to this nowadays !
I'm 41 years of age and all that life has thrown at me over the years melts away and I can dream again when I hear this song. Absolute beautiful classic rediscovered thanks to lock down. Hope all are well.
Mark Russell - ditto. Songs like this lift me during this worrying time. Takes me back to being 9 years old 🙂 stay safe.
Same here. I'm 42 now and I have a new found appreciation for these "long lost" beautiful songs of the 80s
@@jwgoon there's a lot of great songs from the 80s to be rediscovered
A classic that sends a chill down your spine everytime you hear it ❤

80s pop music the best modern pop sounds like shit well some
40 years ago seems like yesterday
I'm so glad I grew up through the 80s. Such a perfect decade, kids these days have no clue how good we had it.
I turned 50 this year, this fantastic gem is from my youth! Love it!!!
happy birthday x
Richard Timmins Thanks so much!!!
I turn 50 in March next year. This was our era. And great as life can be - nothing has been quite this good since. Halcyon days.
Catherine Correia mine too 50 next year !! 👌👌👌
andy mcghee me too in March big 50 ...
At 48 years old, this song still takes me back to great memories of my childhood. Goosebumps and a smile. Thank you 😊
Im 47......this song is so magical !!
Right, 47 here
th-cam.com/video/u4UFW4WSXus/w-d-xo.html
Will be 47 in September
49 in August, makes me feel like a teenager. Takes me back to my typical council estate secondary school in Birmingham with no cares in the world apart from Girls😂😂, awesome times
Was war das für eine geile Zeit, Kindheit, Eltern jung, Urlaub..einfach unbeschwertes Leben war das ! Und heute 😞 ????
Genau das gleiche...wenn man das schafft sich zurück zu ziehen 😉
Absolut! Das war so eine tolle Zeit, da wird man wehmütig wenn man daran zurückdenkt.
Another great band from Scotland, like Simple Minds , absolutely brilliant
One of the great songs of the 80s. A brilliant decade for music
That is so true !
Even though I'm more of a 60's and 70's man - I must admit that for POP music this was a golden era.
I've never bought as many 45 singles as I did during the 80's and well into the 90's.
Every week I bought from 2 or 3 to 4, 5 or 6 singles - and one hit after another just kept pouring out.
And there were so many talented Artists and Bands that were struggling to reach the highest positions on the charts.
But then, around 2000 it all suddenly died out.
These days, perhaps I hear one POP song per month that has something similar to what was being cranked out every week during the 80's.
"Rolling In the Deep" was a good one - and it gave me a flashback back to the 80's when I heard it -
but it's really hard for me to think of any other really good ones from the last 2 decades.
There are still some good music being made - but they are not what you can call POP songs.
This track hits the heart strings. Just sheer class.
thats because we didnt realise what crap would be around now ! lol@thomasfarrell9134
The greatest song of the 1980s never tire of listening to it , haunting melody ,how I miss the 70s and 80s , I’m 65 now where did the years go.
2024 68 Years young and I still listen to this regularly. Great sound.
Me too I'm 70 !
I'm 68 too and love this song. Really loved the 80s especially the music
Song still makes me cry , lost my best friend right here.
Despite the easy and basic chords this beautiful song evokes so many wonderful feelings. Loving it until now. No songs of today can measure up to what was made back in the 80s.
The lyrics are so deep to me. "Heaven is closer now today" to me means he feels close to death at having lost her! I love 80s music for having suck dark lyrics set to upbeat music. Like Enola Gay, etc!
The 80's Amazing!!❤
One of the best songs ever! I've never gotten sick of it. Never will.
Yup, it's a quality tune. It's in my daily play list..
It's a classic tune ☺
A. C. M.
...absolutely. Such a good song about Lucifer's sad , pointless descent from the gardens of paradise, into the lonesome desolate world of savage desire in his fractured heart.
..and now look where we find ourselves...in a demented state where the unsympathetic tyrannical grip of the banking system of globalists & corporations weigh down heavy upon our poor collective consciousness 's, like an avalanche of back-breaking steel/concrete mixed gravity. Where pathetic cries of "Alluha Akbar" are attempting to make us lose our way from visions de l'âme éternelle.
.....or something.
🎩
Pure class, fantastic! On other word!,,
would listen to the song over and over and over again...
They are one of the best new wave bands of the 80's and this is a
really perfect sounding song to listen to Thank You.🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶
The best music comes from the 80's and this is one of them.
People who don't realize this just haven't heard songs like this. Once exposed to it they come to the epiphany.
DJ Hemi u r totally right
to me it will be the 70s then the 80s
And 80% of it is Britiush!
Meh
