This is the perfect pop song, the perfect work of art. It feels like a warm kiss given by the girl you love, or like a hug given by someone who loves you so much. It's a song that gives me the desire of living inside of it forever in a sweet eternity. And that is what true art achieves. I really feel grateful that this song exists
Indeed. And for all of the mythology of "Grant and Amanda", never forget this was propelled by Lindy and Robert. After all... two ordinary guitarists can only do so much, but an optimistic r/section ?
it's probably cause the band was feeling that way when this song was written. it's also the reason why the Go Betweens broke up. 🎶 May the inner peace be with you. ☮️🎶
Sunday afternoons listening to the "Turn it Up" show from BBC Radio Sussex and this gem of a song comes over the airwaves. Next Saturday I have a copy of the gatefold 2 disc 7" from TV & Radio in Horley and the rest as they say is history.
This song made me fall for music when i was in the 3rd grade of elementary school, i found my mother's radio and fiddled with the buttons and dial. opra, yuck. Dumb talking. static. "your hands are tired, your eyes are blue.🎶" i was like "wow. are they singing about me? My eyes are blue literally. and pressing Those buttons made my hands tired. Then Smoky Sings came on. and something else, and then Girlfriend In A Coma by the Smiths and i was hooked on the radio. it was the mid-1980's by then. it was a good time for music.☮️🎶🖖🎶
@@TimmyTickle I did not know that, it's a shame you never hear any of their songs on UK radio stations even the classic rock and 80s stations, a great band
this was the 1st song i listened to on the radio when i was in 3rd grade. i "found" my mother's radio on the window sill next to the ironingboard. i turned it on: Oprah, not for me, static. nope. "your hands are tired, your eyes are blue." Holy mother of what the heck?! is this song about me? This is great music. The second song was Smoky Sings by the Stranglers, and then some song by ABC. 🎶☮️🖖🎶
I loved Lindy and Amanda so much. Awesome song from that era. If you watch the documentary, it's really kind of sad how they ended up disbanding very unceremoniously. Still love this song.
i'm shocked. how has this been hidden from your ears? this masterpiece has been on TH-cam since like forever and a day. and i've known about it since before TH-cam existed maybe mid-1980's at least since i was in the 3rd grade of elementary school if not longer. it got me into music. A long long time ago. music is where the heart is. 🖖 ☮️🎶
@@iananderson3799 He and Robert were tired and needed a break. It was just unfortunate for Lindy and Amanda. They took that badly. There was no sacking going on.

A brilliant pop song, any song for that matter but an atrocious video companion..and this is the official one. In the days of the 80's image rained massively supreme (but name me another decade when it wasn't, eh?) and this video was sooooo ill advised.
It rains for days So you stay inside and lock your door Cryin' all the time Crying for, you don't know what for You say, you're undone by his kiss But don't you think That for once in your life It should be like this Your hands are tired Your eyes are blue I'm keepin' you right here Right here, right here Right here, right here Whatever I have is yours And it's right here Climb aboard my pony Now, you've been thrown Get back in the saddle And let it be known That you're made of steel But don't you think that For once in your life He should be made to feel Your hands are tired Your eyes are blue I'm keepin' you right here Right here, right here Right here, right here Whatever I have is yours And it's right here I know you're thirty two But you look fifty five You walk around With your eyes wide open But you're barely alive You say, you've lost your touch But don't you think That for once in your life He could walk without a crutch Your hands are tired Your eyes are blue I'm keepin' you right here Right here, right here Right here, right here Whatever I have is yours And it's right here Right here Right here, right here Right here, right here Whatever I have is yours And it's right here
Really great band people should check them out, Forster and McClennan wrote some awesome alternative pop. ok dumb video.. go listen to cattle and cain.
Grant RIP you made such beautiful music

There is something for everyone isn't there! Not my cup of tea this one but y'know, horses for courses... Bless you Kath.
I miss these guys soo much 😢
This makes me cry every time I listen. I love it. It make me feel alive.
Was I the only one who bought their records in the 80s? This is one of the best popsongs ever and it still sounds as fresh as the day it was made.
Tallulah
No, there was two of us
Sorry Nic but the title of "best pop song of all time" has to belong to "Mayor of simpleton" by XTC.
Defiantly three of us. 👌👌
Four.
I love the Go-Betweens.
One of the best bands to come from Brisbane, my home town!
I agree.
Best band
Genius under rated pop music.
Its great to be beautiful, young, and talented. Even better to know it, and have a video camera.
I'm from the Philippines but I like Australian bands...cool music to listen.
what ever I have is more, and I am right here
Totally under rated, only time revealed the sheer beauty that's been hidden from our ears.
Damn, those of us who were fans back then knew it was gold. And yet it would still miss.
@@mattmcdonald6202 Joy Division much? The Go Betweens broke up due to an in band love triangle. i'm glad it didn't end like Ian Curtis. ☮️🖖🎶
Love this song. Cant help but make you feel happy. Apprecitate what you got and you'll be doing well

How the hell was this not a hit ?
That song kinda kicks ass.
Best band ever 😎
Great song. That has stood the test of time. Amanda was so cute.
The Go - Betweens, one of Australias greatest bands 😁

Amazing band sadly unknown in the States
I just learned about this band 5 minutes ago. Score!
Welcome to the cult
fantastic song, great group, almost nobody in England seems to have heard of this fantastic band
Funny, considering that in the 80s, they were more popular in England than in their home country
@@TimmyTickle I did not know that, it's a shame you never hear any of their songs on UK radio stations even the classic rock and 80s stations, a great band
From València ({Spain) amazing band. 🎸🎤
Brings back the past yes it was good

The Go Betweens were Australias The Smiths... very impressed

Grant and Amanda were so in love.
i think i was in second year college when this song came out
Best band ever 😎
Perfect!

This is so wonderful

My favourite ❤
Probly my fave Go Betweens song

Keep it underrated.
You know what will happen if it gets popular.
It's a bit late for fame to kill a member of the band. :(
Love them so much
Probly my fave Go Betweens song

So good :)
A No.1 in my heart✨
Nice!
fabulously strange video!
Grant and Amanda were so in love.
I had such a crush on Amanda!
Forster looks like Peter Murphy in the black and white part.
Best band ever 😎
This is the Go-betweens' chart smash that never was
Love Grant and Amanda's chemistry at 3:12 - almost a little sad to watch
......then he sacked her from the band, a few years later.
@@iananderson3799 He and Robert were tired and needed a break. It was just unfortunate for Lindy and Amanda. They took that badly. There was no sacking going on.

Robert off his head on H at this point alas. They still made brilliant, poetic & beautiful music but it's hard to hide that Robert was just out there.
man rules so much

It rains for days
So you stay inside and lock your door
Cryin' all the time
Crying for, you don't know what for
You say, you're undone by his kiss
But don't you think
That for once in your life
It should be like this
Your hands are tired
Your eyes are blue
I'm keepin' you right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Whatever I have is yours
And it's right here
Climb aboard my pony
Now, you've been thrown
Get back in the saddle
And let it be known
That you're made of steel
But don't you think that
For once in your life
He should be made to feel
Your hands are tired
Your eyes are blue
I'm keepin' you right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Whatever I have is yours
And it's right here
I know you're thirty two
But you look fifty five
You walk around
With your eyes wide open
But you're barely alive
You say, you've lost your touch
But don't you think
That for once in your life
He could walk without a crutch
Your hands are tired
Your eyes are blue
I'm keepin' you right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Whatever I have is yours
And it's right here
Right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Whatever I have is yours
And it's right here
Only just noticed the pony joke after all these years.
"Whatever I have is yours, and it's right here." Propositioning - pandemic style...
Make me think about Grant and Amanda relationship at this time.
A lot of us probably thought more than Grant (at least) did about that.
Charming guy, articulate, well read... but. But.
Found it.
Um pecado o Go Betweens não ter feito o sucesso que merecia. Foi a melhor banda pop do seu tempo.
The Go Betweens English British 🇬🇧 Synth Punk Pop Waves Punk Rocks New Waves Pop Waves European Band Decades 80s 90s Disband Legendary
Didn’t Grant die in 2006 from a Heart Attack?
A strong connection to the B-52s.
And The Cure in my opinion.
Grant looks like Frank from The B-52s

Didn't know Edward Norton had a band in the 80's
There is no God .
I farted.
Brilliant song...awful video
Great song, great band, fucking terrible video.
I love new wave... but this is below par. Not worth listening.
