Doesn't matter what music your into, if it is popular/really popular then you can't get away from it andstill plays today! So really confused how your just discovering Ultravox-makes no sense????
And I was the new romantic guy that wore colour and eye liner ... and now fully dig the metal music.... (when its not thrash) ... i guess because good music is good music
I mean Ultravox had punk sensibilities, same as The Stranglers in their early days, so I guess it makes sense you like it, the beat and guitars are pop-punky.
you do, i only had to work 2 jobs 6 days a week. fuck the 80s big time, yeah the music was nice. but sitting around listening music all day wasnt the 80s for 99,9% of the people. sure now looking back it all looks like awesome shit hahaha.

The foresight in this video is chilling. 2 years later Chernobyl fallout happened and Pripyat became a ghost town. A time when music videos carried a message. I cherish growing up in the 80’s.
Three Mile Island incident had occurred a few years prior (1979), so the topic was still sort of on many minds ("what if it happened here and there were mass casualties?" etc).
The iconic Midge Ure and Ultravox. Wasn't the 80's just the best era of our life's and the happiest. A fine band which brings happy memories of fun dance venue's, wild hair, leather trousers. Great times xx Love to all Ultravox fans x
55 years old and finally found the original video! And not the one from Alphaville. One of my all time favourite songs! Can you imagine writing the lyrics in the 80’s and living it now 2024
In my opinion, still one of the greatest music videos of all time. No fancy effects; just simple storytelling that delivers a knockout punch straight to your heart.
I'm 17. Ultravox were one of the first bands that I got into. When I was growing up, my parents introduced me to all of their best songs and I instantly fell in love. Their sound birthed such a passion for music in me, as I'm now a guitarist and singer in a band. Such a beautiful and emotional tune!
Einer der geilsten Songs der 80er Jahre. Ich kann von Ultravox nie genug kriegen. Das ist meine schönste Zeit gewesen. 80er Jahre pur. Einfach unvergessen.
Ultravox was and always be cherished and kept in my heart I am 50 yrs old now and every time I listen to this wonderful music I am reminded of how wonderful my teenage life was Thank you Midge and Ultravox band members for the memories.
I first heard this in 84 on KROQ and fell in love with it. Then I saw the video and cried....HARD! It just came on the radio and I decided to watch it again. Cried even harder, immediately. Look at our world today. 😪
I heard this song for the first time not even a month ago playing Metal Gear Solid 5, never heard of it before. Definitely a classic in my heart less than a month later.
@@VANTARTS Cool, gatekeeping music. Who the fuck cares? They found it and they love it. People like you are always like "This music needs to be heard more" but the second people hear it more, you hate it.
i think there was so much emotion in music back then as there was no emotion at all in society, it was a outcry. it still is. but music now is braindead. just as mankind. RIP.
I don't know what they were thinking when they made the video....prophets maybe? Yet the song is a masterpiece of 80's synth-pop...solid sound, unbelievable vocals, i still adore it!
One of the best music videos ever. In terms of really fusing the arts of song and movie, the 80s and 90s were music video gold anyway but this one took it to absolutely stellar levels. Terrific band.
As a teen I always felt such emotion hearing this song , but the video always freaked me out a bit , being a teen and scared hearing about nuclear war etc back in the 80s..still an amazing song and happy to hear it again in 2023
Born in 1986 I heard all these songs playing in my parent's car. Aha, Rah Band, Talk Talk, Ultravox, Alphaville, Bronsky Beat, Soft Cell, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark... They had a few new-wave compilations on audio cassette. All these songs really painted my early memories with some unique colours. I was a young boy full of hope for the future. I would never have imagined society would be such a mess in 2020. Dancing with tears in my eyes is one special track. I remember having mixed feelings about that one. Still have. It's stirring up some deep and unknown sentiment. Could not find a word for it. Thanks Ultravox you're great artists bringing beauty to the world.
This song expresses what I am living and expecting for this year. I am literally dancing with tears in my eyes, weeping for the memory of a life gone by!!
40 years old is one of the best songs I heard in my life. Ultravox is my favourite band !!! I first heard this song in the 90s and it was immediately love !! Wonderful this melody and throbbing rhythm! Midge's voice is amazing !!!
It's about time Midge Ure became a Sir. He was the unsung hero of Band Aid 1985. Whilst Geldof took the glory, Midge ure was content to stay in the shadows and organise and plan the whole event. I will always hold him in the upmost respect for that.
You should read Geldoff's book about it all, you'll see what and who was behind the whole thing, who actually went to Africa and held dying children and made a lot of the big decisions. Who called and called and wrote anyone and everyone to get the whole thing off the ground. Yes, Midge helped a lot, but it was Geldoff that did most of the legwork and got it all going. They did write the song together and i do believe Midge should get more credit for that
Jeremy Alexander wow, aren’t you just a bundle of joy! There’s nowt wrong with looking back on past decades with fond memories. Part of me thinks your comment was just a bait one but I’ll bite anyway. Enjoy your bitter and angst ridden life, mate!
I dance with tears in my eyes listening to this wonderful song and remembering past times ... Forever young and forever in love! 💖 "We love to the sound of our favorite song Over and over!"
I was only 18 when this kind of music was on the radio and even now at 53 i find myself going back to listen and remember the fond memories i treasure and it is so wonderful. you have to have been there to appreciate it, life is fleeting and so short please stop and gain some perspective and you will see what is really important.
@@LyllianaofMirrah You don't think so well say, as an Occitan native under the domination of the "Big Brother = French State", I know what that means ... Except that it was already the case in the 80s, a triumphal decade for the economy and therefore the French model, in which the indigenous Occitan question did not count more than that of the Dakota Indians in Reagan's USA
It's the first music video that brings me to tears in my life. As someone who is built close to the water, it is very inconvenient anyway. But I love the melody, the lyrics and the video. Thanks, Ultravox.
I love how Ultravox took on a more guitar-driven sound on some of the songs on Lament. I guess Midge was hearkening back to his harder Thin Lizzy days. He delivers these frantic tunes so well. His voice has the power of the sun.
So many of these songs hit just as hard today. Sure, they may have been about the Cold War when they were written in the 1980s, but the sentiments still apply to our world in 2020. Peace, everyone...stay safe.
I should agree partly. I'm 40, come from Slovakia, former Czechoslovakia, so 80's was the decade of a change. Also my childhood years. And music such as this was not available (easily) [became at the beginning of 90s]. So I understand that nostalgia of people like me. But I've read many comments of different people, from different countries, different age (30-70) and all of them say "Good old 80's, fuck the today'. Why is that? What was the main reason of their nostalgia? Dunno how easy was to get music in western countries in end of 80's (behind "the wall" it wasn't easy [and also not legal for 'western' music afaik]), but compare it to today - wanna music? Plenty of. Instantly. Everywhere. Maybe music devalved and todays music has no value for our ears because there is too much music everywhere. Maybe it is about social contacts - wanna music at 80's? Go to shop, go to concert, meet people. Not "open web browser and play (freely)" whatever you want. Alone. Everywhere...
This video makes me really sad. It's even more devastating than "Lament" - whose tune is very sorrowful. Whoever the director for this video is, thank you for such a touching work.
One of my favorite moments playing MGSV was hearing this magnificent song in the DISTANT, slowly getting louder and louder and Pequod going like, " Shortly arriving at LZ " 😍
This song is for my best friend D that died.....the first time I heard this song me and him was playing metal gear v and I put this on, he was like man what do you know about this young buck! This is a 80s song....I'm like shut up D lol your 5 years older then me sir.....now this song just hurts me to my core.....that was my one real true friend I considered my brother and I miss him dearly.....it's only been 2 years so the pain still cuts deep.....miss you D this is for you my friend 💔💔😢
I well remember this song and this video (I'm 52 years old). I've always thought that no mum or dad in the world would live his/her baby to die alone in his bed
This song always reminds me of my father. We were grocery shopping back when this was released and I kept singing this probably annoying the eff out him but he still went out and bought me the single on clear vinyl. I miss him so much. Even after 26 years 😢

An important song in my youth xx
I am deeply sad.😢
God bless

I was a metal head in the 80’s. Just now discovering Ultravox. Amazing.
Metal band Warmen did this and it’s great cover.
Doesn't matter what music your into, if it is popular/really popular then you can't get away from it andstill plays today!
So really confused how your just discovering Ultravox-makes no sense????
I am a metal head, but I remember this and the fear of nuclear war, 99 Red Balloons was another song that really hit me back then.
And I was the new romantic guy that wore colour and eye liner ... and now fully dig the metal music.... (when its not thrash) ... i guess because good music is good music
I mean Ultravox had punk sensibilities, same as The Stranglers in their early days, so I guess it makes sense you like it, the beat and guitars are pop-punky.
For me, 40 years hasn’t removed any of this videos emotional impact. Great song, great video, great band.
Saw Ultravox at Sheffield, and they are brilliant live ... such a great atmosphere, this was the 80s for you!
indeed!!
This and Sting's 'Russians' also to this day sends chills down my spine.
I liked the video where the couple pull the white sheet over the selves.

Same here...
I'm with you.
What a teenager? I was a chield and now I'm 56 !
You must drink a lot of water.
Hopefully there was a period between teenage and now when you did not cry.
The foresight in this video is chilling. 2 years later Chernobyl fallout happened and Pripyat became a ghost town. A time when music videos carried a message. I cherish growing up in the 80’s.
Three Mile Island incident had occurred a few years prior (1979), so the topic was still sort of on many minds ("what if it happened here and there were mass casualties?" etc).

These sad new wave and dark wave tunes were great in the 80's. By the way...I never left the 80's or 90's.
we all did, those that lived in the 80s made it possible the 80s ended.

Lyrics
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

Whilst Geldof took the glory, Midge ure was content to stay in the shadows and organise and plan the whole event. I will always hold him in the upmost respect for that.

organise? whilst? a sir? the glory? you poor nigel - you really need to get off that tiny england island once in awhile.
So true.
@@chesirekatja1698 history has shown that however much Geldof begged and petitioned, no one took him seriously until Midge signed as the orchestrator.

i was born in 2000 but i just can’t bring myself to like modern day music as much as i enjoy this, i’m very lucky my dad raised me on this instead
Im a 95 baby and i feel ya on this. I use Pandora because the second the radio comes on my ears bleed.
Sme. I was born in 2006 and can't stand modern songs. I only listen to these type of songs!
Same
Who asked
@@xandercat6948 No one, but it's a sentiment that people evidently agree with. I don't see any problem with it.
I was born in 1970 and this is my music. They say music that your listen to in your teens define your taste.
Absolutely. I was born the same year and being an 80's teen is inseparable from the music of that decade. And what great music it was.
When videos were creative and a piece of artwork in and of themselves. God I wish we could get back to this.
This video makes me really sad. It's even more devastating than "Lament" - whose tune is very sorrowful. Whoever the director for this video is, thank you for such a touching work.
Loved this song upon release. Still love it in 2024
I miss the 80's.
The guitar riff is a killer to this day.
One of my favorite moments playing MGSV was hearing this magnificent song in the DISTANT, slowly getting louder and louder and Pequod going like, " Shortly arriving at LZ " 😍
Bellissima canzone anni 80 ❤
This is one of the greatest songs of the 80s.
@@starlight161964 yes of course
Finest beats from the 80s
This song is for my best friend D that died.....the first time I heard this song me and him was playing metal gear v and I put this on, he was like man what do you know about this young buck! This is a 80s song....I'm like shut up D lol your 5 years older then me sir.....now this song just hurts me to my core.....that was my one real true friend I considered my brother and I miss him dearly.....it's only been 2 years so the pain still cuts deep.....miss you D this is for you my friend 💔💔😢

@@lewis72 ohh that is good xD
"Dancing with tears in my eyes. Weeping for the memory of a life gone by." Damn, i really miss the 80's...
Song has never aged
Closer than we all think…
Enfin retrouvé cette chanson que je cherchais depuis mon adolescence, 40 ans après je l aime toujours ❤️❤️
Cette chanson est une pure merveille !
Bonsoir les clips?
I love this old in 80er music this is my favorite 👍🏼👌🏼❤❤❤❤❤
I well remember this song and this video (I'm 52 years old). I've always thought that no mum or dad in the world would live his/her baby to die alone in his bed
@@Stargazer-is6ok you can´t outrun a nuclear explosion and even then the fallout would kill you. better make the best of the little time you have
i think the song implies they are going to have sex so they can´t be with the child, also is he´s young enough he doesn´t care about what is coming
Maybe its just about the breakup of a relationship and not an actual nuclear meltdown. Think outside the box!!
@@neill4133 You can't get nuclear explosions from nuclear plant meltdowns. Impossible.
Esse pessoal era genial pra criar músicas, nunca mais existirá músicas tão magníficas quanto desta época 😢😢😍😍
This song always reminds me of my father. We were grocery shopping back when this was released and I kept singing this probably annoying the eff out him but he still went out and bought me the single on clear vinyl. I miss him so much. Even after 26 years 😢
