I'm a huge Prefab Sprout fan, this remains my favourite song of theirs, it's an absolutely beautiful, atmospheric and poignant masterpiece. Saw them live many years ago and they were amazing. Also love 'Cars and Girls', and 'We Let The Stars Go' is gorgeous. If you haven't listened to Jordan - The Comeback album, I absolutely recommend it, there is some incredible stuff on there. 😊❤
This is a must-have!! I got into this band in 1985, last year of high school, and still listen to them! Good song writing, good arrangement, and yearning vocals of love and sympathy, which never go bad.
There were quite a few bands very similar to Prefab Sprout in the UK back in the mid-1980's. Deacon Blue, Danny Wilson, etc. The Blue Nile, however, were very different. Much more sombre and melancholy, especially their debut album.
@@AlexHaitz Thanks for the reply, Alex. I'm from Scotland, home of The Blue Nile, and their debut album, A Walk Across The Rooftops, is a genuine classic and still very popular today. Enjoying your channel. All the best.
That's funny that you said it should be Vapor wave materialBecause an interview with the lead singer Paddy McAloonwas used on the last track of Saint Pepsi hit vibes album...
The production and keyboard programming was by the inimitable Thomas Dolby ... Funfact: Dolby also did the ethereal keyboard parts on Foreigner's "Waitin' for a girl like you"
This is an excellent band. I was 13 when this song came out and there was a tsunami of brilliant music at thst time-so many great songs. I connected better with those bands later on in my 20s but I certainly soaked in everything growing up because there were so many interesting bands then.
Great choice. An album produced by Thomas Dolby. Not the best song on the album, but sound production is beautiful. I agree with you about The Blue Nile and this band.
Great band, as well of the songs mentioned above I’d recommend The Golden Calf which has a rockier tempo (although that’s a relative rockier to this chilled out classic). 👍🏻
Loved this song right off. I first learned of them when they came out with “King Of Rock and Roll” Awesome and cute song. They did quite a few songs that I think are brilliant. I don’t think they got the love they deserved. It’s sweet and intelligent music isn’t it? I loved watching you enjoy it.
I must admit, although I quite like King Of Rock 'n' Roll as a song, I can't stand the recording. For me, Thomas Dolby's production *ruins* it. It was only when I saw Paddy McAloon doing an acoustic take of it that I realised that there was a nice song in there.
Just the best 80s new wave band 👍 really sophisticated. You need to listen to the whole album and at leat 2 albums more. FROM LANGLEY PARK TO MEMPHIS and JORDAN THE COMEBACK
I heard 'When Love Breaks Down' on the radio and liked it enough to buy this album on CD. After listening to it 'Bonny' became my favorite song on it: th-cam.com/video/VhwbiwR0VMk/w-d-xo.html
One of the greatest pop albums of all time
Steve Mcqueen is a classic. My fave is "Bonny". Also like "Appetite" and this one. Paddy Mcaloon (the main guy) is an unsung genius
Bonny from this album is amazing

One of my 5 desert island albums

Really enjoy their album Hats. Great vibe.

@@mrsuperger5429 Thanks a lot, same to you!

Just listened to this today!

This song was actually produced by Phil Thornalley
@@espenstorm737 The keyboards and the ethereal sound was down to Thomas Dolby
React to "The Sound of Crying" is another gem of Prefab , it's brilliant
Great 80s pop record, got a real soft spot for them, lead singer and writer Paddy is from my local county 😎.
That thumbnail is great 😂
Criminally underrated band
This such a great song, it takes me back to the ‘80’s.
This is an excellent band. I was 13 when this song came out and there was a tsunami of brilliant music at thst time-so many great songs. I connected better with those bands later on in my 20s but I certainly soaked in everything growing up because there were so many interesting bands then.
Solid analysis. The John Hughes pull was apt. Bonny should be next on your list for Prefab Sprout
@@maxawalker I’ve since done the whole album.

Great album. I quite like that blandness of Prefab Sprout. It's an intelligent, entertaining blandness. If that's possible.
Loved this song right off.
I first learned of them when they came out with “King Of Rock and Roll”
Awesome and cute song.
They did quite a few songs that I think are brilliant.
I don’t think they got the love they deserved.

@@TheoZoffrok I respect your view.
I like Thomas Dolby.
Interesting guy.
Although.
I can understand what you are saying.
what the hell are you doing driving that motorcycle...🤣.........😂
I hated this era of pop but I just loved these guys
Love the bass

Pls also listen to Bonny, Appetite, and Goodbye Lucille #1 (Johnny, Johnny).
I’ve since done the whole album!
