@@Petergalvan high school 1986 graduate and greatest time for music like this. Yeah we bellyache about doing house chores, going to bed on time, and doing well in school. But when songs like this came on parents let us turn up the radio up a little louder. Great times
@magicae 37 You're right. After 87 it sort of stopped. There were some good songs but few and far between. From what I can recall all the great 80s music was from 80 to 85. 86 to 87 there were some good stuff but then it stopped.
ditto from me.....never get tired of listening to this song and now, I am constructing a cover of it in my MIDI studio, and further admiring the genius of the song.
I agree. He has aged, and they are playing it 1/2 step lower than the original. But so what? He can sing it great in this key, so that's exactly what he should do.

I've been a poet and started singing at 50 only because of being locked at home during Covid, and these 80's singers have taught me as much as anyone in my first year singing, 2000 hours in and 700 recordings in my first year, loving singing, other poets should try transitioning, good luck
My best friend of forever and I used to listen to Baby's albums over and over. She passed away from Cancer. Sometimes I just have to play some Baby's and remember the good times. Thanks you

Oh man I just had a heavy heart pang for the good old days of my youth. One of the the best pure pop love songs ever. Bravo John. Still sounds great here.
Man there’s just something magical about the 80s. Everyone talks about it. Maybe it was the simpler times. High school and college. Our formative and fun years. And now as our families are growing older. Our kids go to college and break out on their own we realize we’ve crossed that line. The best times are behind us.
That’s called nostalgia. It’s something we all long for. It’s a mixture of sadness because the moment is gone, but at the same time, a longing of not letting go because of the good feeling it gives us.
Sophomore in high school. Just discovering I was an artist and full of dreams. - Music really does bring you back to specific times in your life that you'd forgotten. John Waite's voice unloads all those memories....
One of the greatest love sogs ever, and John still sings it with conviction. We all try to cope by saying we don'miss our beloved, but our hearts ache with the truth. Silver lining: The ache grows the love despite the hurt.
I can never get tired of this classic 80s song!!!!. John still looks great!!!!. Now let me go back even further and play Every Time I Think Of You followed by Change 😄❤️❤️👍
Love all the songs of the late 70's and 80's. Thank God for all the great memories we have. Yes, music was the best then, times were easier, and we feel sorry for what passes for music now.
Great job, wow John you haven’t aged none. Loved you since Bad English. I’m a 80’s girl. And we had the best looking guys . And for sure the best music 🎶🎼🎵🎤❤️
Once upon a time, I was at a John Waite concert. I was in the very first row. I was 17 years old and I was in love with John Waite. He must have seen the love in my eyes, for in the middle of Head First, he placed his mic in front of me, for me to sing the next line. I knew each and every word. However, because of my intense feelings for him, I couldn't utter a sound. To this day, many moons later, I still recall this moment with fondness. I hope he wasn't pissed at me! For that line in the song wasn't sung, but one day, maybe I can tell him in person and maybe one day, I can sing that line. John Waite is wonderful. :-)
My 11 & 13 year old hear me singing to this and they say "there's that song from Warm Bodies" and I say no, there's that song from the 80's I grew up with and never stopped grooving to. John Waite is still the man. Take it back to 1984 just for a little bit...
Always loved and still love this song. Waite has a great voice, just the perfect amount of smooth and rough. Welcome as a citizen of the USA John. Always great to gain great citizens, and especially great musicians. Looking forward to hearing more great music from you. Can't wait to get more great songs from you.
This is an all-time classic song. Tina Turner did the female cover to this song. Many years ago I missed seeing him perform at the "Wolf Den" at Mohegan Sun Casino. I had tickets to a concert there that had Kansas, Journey, and another famous band which I think was Styx. I remember going to the concert because I wanted to hear Dennis DeYoung. Unfortunately I did not know he was no longer with Styx. After the concert was over, I learned that John had been playing in the "Wolf Den". I would have preferred listening to John than the 3 bands I saw playing that night. Several years later, I saw John at another concert. He was great.
As pure and perfect as it was when I first heard his vocals almost four decades ago. John is a real singer's singer! May God keep and bless you, Sir!!!
He just became a U.S.citizen..wow he's been living in the Santa Monica area for years. I caught his show in LA a fews years back and afterwards I ran up to him on 5th ave and congratulated him on fine performance.
Hello Duff , As one of those so-very-blessed males may I make clear that it's not ever taken as a 'granted' ... I know of the 'difficulties' that some brothers are encumbered with in this regard . All be well .
Super classy and suave. Bands like Roxy music and John Waite and his click are cherished and give it more all regardless of age. Good for John, and God Bless him and America.
Thank you John and the band for this fabulous song that STILL has the power to move, fantastic beat and melody and lyrics too! Great performance...Love this.
Damn, John's still sounding great! I was just going through a bunch of older stuff from the Babys and Bad English last week and happened upon this video by chance.
I’m 52 and the 80’s were the best!!
Amen. It happen that I’m turning 52, too, on July! Cheers! My kind of music for sure❤
Agree!!❤
I'm 44 and I agree with you. Does Boomer have four legs or two?
@@ghostwriter1415 lol 4 he's a Bloodhound!!!
@@ghostwriter1415 Boomers like us have two legs!
Do any of us realize how good we had it in the 80's and just did not realize it...
Night Tracks, MTV, REALLY GOOD, "REAL" Music, yep, my wife and i Miss it a LOT!
I realized it! I had the time of my life with the music. I was in Heaven.
Well...I was younger, so I had that...but now I have a family, and a house, and a career, and money, and experience...so def have it better now.
Yep I took it for granted at the time. Now I'd give anything to go back.
Yes, back then, like Bon Jovi said, "With a six pack and a radio, we didn't need no place to go."
First heard it 1984... Love it ever since ❤
Dear 80's, we miss you. Wish we could go back.
I graduated in 86 those were the golden years 💪👍

Turn back the clock ⏰
Some people age gracefully, he's one of them. Still has the voice.
Too much questions in the beginning. Love this song ❤️.
Bizzare to listen to John Bisaha who leads The Babys now, it's like John Waite's voice reborn to 40 years ago
John, thank you for creating such a timeless piece to the world. We love you.
ditto from me.....never get tired of listening to this song and now, I am constructing a cover of it in my MIDI studio, and further admiring the genius of the song.
Thank you Chas Sanford for writing this great song.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
voice is still as golden, distinct, and beautiful.
Its a different but still sounds muah PERFECT
The fact it's such a great song helps
Never get bored listening to him singing
As with the rest of your body....if you treat it well..in diet and lifestyle, it will age well. A voice is no different.
I agree. He has aged, and they are playing it 1/2 step lower than the original. But so what? He can sing it great in this key, so that's exactly what he should do.
holy shit, john still sounds amazing and looks great for his age!
He sure was blessed with a beautiful and perfect head of hair. So envious!
Fuck yeah
He was 66 here!
This is his signature song. Been my fave since the 70's and I still love it.
Almost 40 years later and still sounds perfect
2020, John's still got it. The Immortal John Waite.
Like his music too but ,, he is a mortal ;)
@@nicelez Maybe, but his music is eternal.

Icon. John you did it the right way. Loved your bio on prime. Thanks for staying true to the music.
His voice is holding well for 30 years ago.
What he goes back to 1976 with the babes 44 yrs ago
45 years in the biz.yeah!
John Waite is great.

best breakup song ever!
Several months late, but congratulations John on your American citizenship.
Love his voice and this song!
i bet now he wants to revoke it 🤣🤣🤣
Still a Brit at heart
Don't worry, you didn't miss anything - the handshake is still going on...
Man oh man! 35 years after he released he sounds just as good. Great upload.

Start growing old disgracefully and have a good time!
Every day you have with those memories locked in your vault is still the best of times. IMHO

não se preocupe um dia os anos 200 também pareceram muito bons...
Love John! Looks great, sounds divine!
Missing you will never play out!!!!
John Waite, what a song what a voice! 1984 you released this and I loved it and to hear you sing it so many years later I am just blown away!
One of my all time favorite songs. This, Boys of Summer and Under Pressure and I cry for the 80s.

He sounds great..He has such a memorable strong voice.
what a great song and a greater voice. i was just time warped back to a simpler time and flooded with memories of better days ..
I will never forget this song, it truly helped me get over my live in boyfriend of 11 yrs.i kept playing it over and over. Thank you John Waite ❤
I had a similar experience. With a woman, in my case, but that's just me....*siiiggghhh*.
Great tune....

The 80’s were the best. Wish. Could go back because no time in my life was so fulfilling
Brings back alot of memories, John is so underrated, no light shows, no huge elaborate stage, 3 Gautiers, drummer and a very talented singer! Go John!

This song was number one on the charts for months.
I was born in the 90s but the music of the 80's,70's and 60's are just the best especially the 80's❤️❤️❤️
80s the best part of my life, missing you.

How did I "just now" see this video? I absolutely love his vocals and song writing. Soooo much talent!
pure classic! the real music! Love that song! John rocks!!!!
Damn good voice. I met him in 2007 and he signed every single album I had and let me record his show that evening. Seriously good man ❤️
Super classy and suave. Bands like Roxy music and John Waite and his click are cherished and give it more all regardless of age. Good for John, and God Bless him and America.
timeless classic right here. I was a young kid in the 80's in LA when I first heard this song. still love it.
Glad to see he's dropped the make up. Nice to see him still performing...and now a U.S. citizen!
I gotta admit, his voice sounds better now than his younger days. It’s mellowed with time.
Thank you John and the band for this fabulous song that STILL has the power to move, fantastic beat and melody and lyrics too! Great performance...Love this.
What a great song!!! I absolutely love it!!! Thank you Mr.Waite!!! ☮️🖖🏽
Awesome. The 80s live! Thanks John
WILL ALWAYS LOVE ❤️ JOHN WAITE ❤️, SOLO, THE BABYS AND MY FAVORITE BAD ENGLISH
Damn, John's still sounding great! I was just going through a bunch of older stuff from the Babys and Bad English last week and happened upon this video by chance.
Fabulous! One of the greatest songs of the 80s (and that's quite a compliment) rendered beautifully.
The pinnacle of the 80s. He has not lost his voice at all.
One of the coolest song back in the 80’s👌🏼
You still sound great John. Love The Baby’s and of course your own songs.
I love this song and John Waite.
Still sounding awesome ❤
How i miss the 1980s. I want to go back...
