If I could go back to 1980 I definitely would. Who's with me?
Definitely man! Hell if I can take me and my whole family back to a time when life wasnt full of shit I would so go for it. Life was way better back in the 80s compared to today.
Can I come with you? Please🙏🙏🙏
@@Eirene30 Absolutely, the more the merrier.
Today is far better than 1980.
🖐🏼🕺💿❤
This song was designed to sound as futuristic and computerized as possible in the early 80's, but by modern standards it's practically soulful.
ziweiyuan, depends on what "modern standards" you're talking about. There is a lot of crap coming out today that sounds like something from the 70s. This track is from 35 years ago and it doesn't sound dated.
I'm specifically talking about the current trend to create music almost entirely on computers, with autotuned vocals.
Anyone that grew up in this era it was a great time not just the music but the whole way of life sadly which will never return!😂🤣😂🤣😂
Frankly the current era is one where many unsavoury things are going on with all kind of characters on planet.
On the verge of tears for how much I miss the 80s. The synth on this cuts right through and I'm saddened that we will never have the moments before social media and internet again. Part of humanity died when it took over.... those that never knew those days will at least be spared the awful pain of nostalgia and longing....
Well said...a moment in time...
...ahhhhhh....ditto what u said....
I completely agree with you that part of humanity died as soon as we signed the pact with the internet devil
Don't cry
We're working on a new 80's. Dan Spillane and George Haag shall
transform these 20's into a fun and happy time
I feel the same way.
The term "what are we going to do about the kids today?" They were cheated out of the coolness of what they have succumbed to this media blurring the sharpness of neat social frameworks.
WHERE ARE THE HIP ONES?
such is life.
(Ce'st la vie)
If there's one song that takes you right back to the 80's with just the intro, it's this ❤️
So true !!!!
This extended version makes a GREAT song even better. I could listen to it all day.
At 9½ minutes in length, I'm sure some people [not me] think they ARE listening to it all day! I'm with you, though. This extended version is outstanding.
I saw them in Foxboro with MTV. Opening was The Fix then AFOS and last was the Police. All of them were amazing!
Indeed❤
@@thomastrue673 Dayum, that would be a great show...sweet!!
The Fixx!!!
This song is as amazing as the first time I heard it in the 80's. The extended version is just that much more amazing.
I totally agree Anthony! Absolutely wonderful!
It's way better
Yes!!!! I love it!!!!
Just woke and this day could Never be right unless I listen to it...
Ok me tooawe ~
Hard to believe this classic is nearly 40 years old. It is just as mesmerizing today as it was in the 1980s. It is a timeless piece of musical brilliance,
So very no well said ❤️
Tears of nostalgia…..
The music of the Seagulls is a wrap-around experience: gently sad, nostalgia-tinged, beautifully orchestrated, lyrically strong and immersive. In the age of TH-cam, they have become my go-to band. The quintessential 80's sound.
Everytime Paul Reynold change e-bow octave my heart swells. What a song. 27 years old now but love songs from 80s. Masterpiece
The e-bow really makes it. There are a couple of live versions with him doing the e-bow... so awesome!
Oh my God, I miss that time.
The massive synth solo in the final couple minutes has been burned into my memory since this tune was first released. It has been for ~40 years and it always will be. A simple part, but...WOW. How did they even agree on it? It makes the song too long for Top Ten garbage radio. Incredible. Unforgettable.
This is definition of 80’s.
Classic Original Extended Mix / 12" Version :)))
There was definitely something in the water in the UK from the 60s to the 80s. The amount of classic tunes and world class bands that Britain churned out on an industrial scale was mindblowing.
It was the hardship of life and escapism.
Spot on
@@ashyclaret Then *why* in God's trousers. Aren't we making decent music now!!! ??
The British Invasion just kept coming and coming and coming, like we could do when we were young.😁
The brainwashing music that ushered in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
I loved the 80s and the 90s music
Some of it is so haunting
Alot of today's music is crap
wrap crap
One word: Magnificent.
OMG, 1983-- I was STONE COLD in love with this little girl, but too shy & tongue tied to tell her. I felt sorry for myself and wore this song OUT.... I eventually did tell her how I felt. It didn't work out. To this day (2018), we're both happily married to other people and remain friends.
I had the same exact thing happen to me.lol
John , your friends never leave you . thanks for sharing. 💜 Peace and happiness always
Great story mate! Had a similar experience 20 years later. She got marries, I didnt...we are still friends
That is both sad and happy to hear simultaneously? Almost a reflection of real life perhaps ,. I am glad to hear that you are both happy. in any case, good luck to you both..
Same year for me 1983. Back in a time when our parents would drop us kids off at the park with a wad of cash to be frugal with and set a time in the late evening for a scheduled pick up. I was in love with a girl from school and we were at Astroworld in Houston in 1983 and Flock of Seagulls was playing at the amphitheater and they had been playing so many Flock of Seagull songs throughout the day into the evening around the park getting everyone pumped up for the actual concert. She had her friends and I was with mine and we were all girl chasing but we each had our 'girl' in mind that we had crushes on...same with the girls. And once my crush and I had some alone time getting some soda and flirting so freaking awkwardly at the age of 13 we finally kissed. It was right before the concert started. It was twilight outside and we had a nice hidden spot to kiss while the cool breeze of the evening whisped all around us...and this exact song Wishing was playing. It was so surreal I'll never forget it and to this day this song takes me back to that innocence of puppy love and friendships that only a true "Goonie" of the age would understand. Long live the 80's and long live the lasting most excellent memories trapped forever in time. Love to you all!! ❤💯
This extended version makes it even better. ❤
Paul Reynolds...awesome guitar whiz! 🥰🎸
Something magical about this song, but I'm not quite sure what or why.
Very magical indeed!
I love so much 80's music
It has a flow that is hypnotic.
Its not the way it sounds it's
Not the way that it rhymes
Although there's something to it.
@@ShadowPlay1919 it's the age we had when we heard it the first time.
80's new wave perfection!
Dig it Mike
I'd definitely put this on my list of top 10 songs from the 80's - brilliant.
haro82 Awesome!
I’d put it on top 10 ever potentially
Plates?
A top10?
The Eighties deserve at least a Top 50!! 😮😮
Flock of Seagulls… Probably the best representatives of the 80’s spirit…🎸🥁🎹🎼🎧
The band ( and the song ) was ahead of its time by today's standards
Sounds like a dream pop song that would've taken off in the last few years.
This 12inch Overtime is marvelous and unreached. Greeeeat.
whish i could press the like button a million times. great song from a great band.
I love the 5:30 length, but even that one is too short for me. I love this longer version. I miss the 80's!
Great band the. best
One of the top songs of the 80's...this long version enhances a song already so amazing. The five step instrumental buildup from about 8:08 - 8:20 is absolutely brilliant.
Even a little earlier right at the 8 minute mark.
Never heard it, or anything beyond their hit. I got the needle going back and back and round and round again!
"five step instrumental buildup' forty some years later I can still remember how I lover that Heavy synthesizer part.
I Love this Song in the 80s..I can listen to it over and over..Brings back alot of memories.😊
Highly underrated song. This is just another track of my youth.
Extended version, 12 inch , those were the days . 80s weren't we lucky to live through a great decade
The extended version is still too short for this amazing song.
I have a story just like this. I don't even have a single photograph of a girl I love the most in my life after I lost her. Damn..... And the song is awesome!
a amazing song. a 1983 treasure
Oh my College days when music had Substance!
My dear departed Marsha was our song. She has been gone 6 years now and yet here I am.
One of the most beautiful songs of all Time
Das waren die 80er. TOP. Es verbinden mich Bj. 63 sehr viele schöne Erinnerungen an diese Zeit. Ob diese Zeit jemals wieder kommt, oder bleibt es ein Traum. Aber was wäre das leben ohne unsere Träume.
es waren nicht umsonst die "GOLDENEN ACHTZIGER" 🎁 🎹🎸🎹
The comments are endless and so is this song!!
Thanks 1983 !! I will always cherish you
I miss my beloved teenage years of the 80s !!
The Best 80s Retro Song Of All Time…
der absolute Hammer Song, was habe ich den rauf und runter gehört, einfach zeitlos. Weltklasse
Guter Kommentar mein Freund und ich bin Brite
da bist'e nicc allein jewesen 😉
All music is a time machine............we are all back in the eighties.....for a glorious little while at least.
Goes perfectly with a nice spliff.
The most perfect song ever written......
Love the long low note at 8.29
my favorite part!
that the vcs3 i was talking about, pagan john
I think that's an eBow.
This band meant so much to me in my early teens, my escape from parts of the world I never felt like I fitted into. (Australia)
I like this extended version because I can hear the individual music parts better and they all sound great! 🎸🎶
I dig a few of FOS songs, like this track. I miss being a kid in the 80's. I was born in "74". I need a time machine to go back to 80's. Good times!
'74 too
I miss the 80s so much. We had really music 🎶 🎵 talented artists. One of my favorite groups ❤️ ♥️
As soon as I get the bugs worked out on the Time Machine I’m going to visit these videos and round up everybody who wants to go back.
3000 thumbs up and ZERO down!
This song rocked my world when I first heard it @ #'s and Rich's dance clubs in Houston, Texas.... Still sends chills through my body.. It encapsulated what was happening in my life ( and I'm sure many other people's) lives at that time in 1983...
6400...NRG......the 80s in Houston was the greatest time in the history of man.......great time to run wild in the streets
I totally agree! The first time I heard it was at The Parade Club on Bourbon Street...DJ Ricki Merewhether.....I still feel the chills also!
I can relate! I first heard this at the Saint in Atlanta in 1983.....wonderful song!
Still gets me whenever I step on the dance floor at #'s since 1996.
I've been playing this for just about 10 years. I come by every now and then and just vibe to the extended version.
it's so good I can only listen to this version now
I played the Hell out of this song.
Geez, I've been looking for this particular version for some time now. Really loving the intro from 0:07 til 0:40 especially, gets me pumped up every time I hear it. Good song.
fab song
The 0:07 to 0:40 is definitely the X factor of this song. Still listening & enjoying this song in August 2021 !!
My favourite song
listening to this at high volume sitting in the backseat, my father driving, 90s summertime. indeed some magic.
🌊🌴🕶️🌅A vaporwave moments for this song every summer.🕶️🌴🌊🌅
Timeless classic...
My all time favorite song of this great group.
I'm glad I got to be a young man in the late seventies and eighties
I feel sorry for millennials; they are lame
The eighties were a brilliant time growing up. Fuck Sheeran Bieber & Adele.
4 decades later the sound's signature of this song is still cutting edge. The coolness factor of this song is trough the roof and the 12" version is perfection.
I can fall asleep to this song and hear it repeat. I love the extended version much more than the album version just my own opinion :)
Its fantastic. Just absolutely fantastic.
@@yasin6118 it just is.
Even though this was my parent’s era this song in particular holds a special place in my heart. It is one of the first songs I can ever remember hearing other then random Van Halen songs. The melody is something I’ve never found in any other song in my opinion.I cannot begin to count the amount of time I fell to sleep with this song playing in the car from a mixed CD. I have said CD to this day. The amount of peace that washes over me whenever I hear this song is indescribable.
Yes, peace...I feel it too! I'm prolly your parents age. Bless you.
Anyone else reminded when this song plays of someone back in the 80's who is long out of your life?
Eighties music kicked ass.
capolavoro indimenticabile 80forever👽👽👽👽👽
If your feeling sad about a time gone by just close your eyes and remember where you were when you heard this song. For me it's the summer time after a night out at the clubs. It's 2 or 3 am and I'm driving home with the window down blasting this song on the highway. Very few cars around and I am blazing fast and loving it. Nothing can take this away from me. My memory, my time and I loved it.
What the fuck is this....old music? not for me, sounds completely new as I've never heard it before. Sounds like nothing playing today, so to me that makes it original as well. Its simplistic lyrics and free flowing melody lure the ear. Doesn't feel so self-absorbed like so many songs today...
you smoke more crack and listen to your modern shut.
Matthew Evans I agree and we'll put my friend
@@chriswhite1584 What does 'we'll put' mean? 🤔 🤡 👊
Finally some good in my eyes....
First heard this as a wee boy back in the 80s & at the age of 49 I still love it just as much now. 👍
Can someone help me? Can't get to the rest of the song for replaying the intro! Lol...seriously tho, the greatest version of the greatest song out there ❤ And for those listening for the first time....wait for it... in...you will NOT be disappointed.
I just saw these guys in front of 200 people at a bar. Amazing.
Dat guitar riff ... give a man a time machine and he will streight go back to the eighties. Oh, and women too, of course!
7:20 till the end you can hear Paul Reynolds's e-bow transition.. Magnificent and outstanding. Sad Edge took all the credit. Paul Reynolds deserves better tbh
I had no idea Paul used an e-bow on this song, and I would have had no idea back then for sure. I thought
it was just more layered keyboards or synths! Wild. I was sitting
here tonight learning Space Age Love song on guitar, turns out to not be that hard. It's all about the delay pedal!! chorus,
and just the right amount of high end and gain.
***I would not,stop wishing***a message,from back in time***
MTV 80s Classic ! Best time ever !
Ferruccio Guicciardi --- When MTV was good
Thousands of hearts and thumbs . ❤❤❤
Still have the record version of this song. Still sounds great!
My favorite F.O.S. song & one of my favs of the 1980's.
too beautiful...
A very interesting song I love the sound and all its beautiful song lyrics
Einer meiner Lieblingssongs 80'for ever✌️🥰❤️
This one was one of my favorite 80s radio songs from when I was a kid. I remember listening to Casey Kasem every week. I remember thinking it jumped a bunch of notches on the week that it actually fell out of the countdown. I was pretty bummed when it got far enough that I realized it was impossible for it to have jumped all the way into the top ten. It's probably more memorable than 2/3rds of the tracks that were in the top 40 the week it fell out.
The singer's voice complements the music perfectly. Great song.
They should just have a forever version of this song like to where you could just press pause in meetings and shit
def on top 10 fave songs.................EVER!
great song i love it a real classic nothing like it around nowadays chris jurkiewicz
GENIAL .. Pozdrowienia z Polski -Poland
Me encanta esta cancion.
I love this song❤
Oh the memories!! One of my favorite 80s tunes!! 😊
This is the best long drive tune next to SuperTramp Take long way home going out under the stars on country drive
nice beat and instruments selections complementing
El mejor tema de aflook of seagulls cada vez que lo escucho lo disfruto.
7.35, it's one of my favorite musical moments in any song ever.. just incredible..
I absolutely agree. One of my favorite solos, if one would call it that, of all time: so simple and powerful. The way it resolves to the note at 8:28 never fails to give me chills. Thanks, Reno.
I dedicate this perfect song,to Miss Annie Oakley
