      Im looking thru just that. The music was all over the place in 83. So much new emerging genres along with more established bands. Birth of alternative,post punk,
      New wave there was a ton of great punk and pop. Even rap was in its earliest stages. What a time I was a senior in high school.

    I was lucky to see and meet Blancmange at a concert in Leamington, England in 2014. Neil Arthur was nice enough to come out to meet me after the show when he heard that I flew in from Los Angeles just to see him and Heaven 17. 100% true story. It was a dream come true to see both bands perform.

      Smaller venues are the best. Bands that aren't super-bands even better. I saw the Fixx a year ago and it was one of the best concerts I've seen and was only a good 20' away from the stage. One of my favorite bands. I heard this Blancmange song the other day which brought me here. Check out SomaFM Underground 80s

    Blancmange were huge in the 80s in cities in the USA. New York, L.A., Boston, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Philly, and Chicago. Loved everything from the UK in the entire 80s decade. Small country with the most musically talented people on Earth along with NYC :)

    • @PalaniRides
      @PalaniRides หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I believe all those cities had independent progressive stations that had a pipeline directly coming from Great Britain. We in Southern California had 91X in San Diego, and right up the freeway in Los Angeles was the mighty KROQ. Both had their in-house English deejays also. San Diego had the great Steve West, and LA had Richard Blade. Oh what great times and great music. ... A lot of that music would have been even bigger if conservative, craven Top 40 radio had given them a chance.

    Lyrics:
    Hey
    You keep me running round and round
    Well, that's alright with me
    Up and down, I'm up the wall
    I'm up the bloody tree
    That's alright with me
    Yeah, that's alright with me
    Well, it feels alright to me
    Yeah, it looks alright to me
    And I'm so tall, I'm so tall
    You raise me and then you let me fall
    And I'm so small, I'm so small
    Wrapped around your finger, see me fall
    You keep me running round and round
    Well, that's alright with me
    Nothing, nothing, nothing's gonna
    Step in my way
    Living on the ceiling
    No more room down there
    Things fall into place
    You get the joke, fall into place
    And I'm so tall, I'm so tall
    You raise me and then you let me fall
    And I'm so small, I'm so small
    Wrapped around your finger, see me fall
    Here we go
    You keep me running round and round
    Well, that's alright with me
    Up and down, I'm up the wall
    I'm up the bloody tree
    Hiding from your questions

    Why am I up the tree, you say
