I remember watching The Fixx videos on MTV in the 80s. Its amazing how much great music was released in the 80s. I'm so thankful I was young in the 80s and got to enjoy all this great music on MTV. Thankfully TH-cam was invented so I can still hear and watch those great music videos.
@@JaxonSmithers I am about 5 years younger than you. I'd spend hours watching MTV. The imagery of many of these videos was mystical. These artists created something that really made you use your imagination to figure out the storylines. That's something sorely missing in today's world.
Yes now where's the music? Just Taylor swift and beoncy no talent no one hit wonders just music industry garbage no talent just milli vanilla bulshit don't buy into that garbage.
I'm an old school, raised in the 80's metal head but some of us who actually "feel" the music simply cannot deny a classic when we hear it! I jam this magnificence on the regular! Rock on my friends....
Lol im 80s hardcore punk true metal fan accept manowar raven Agnostic front gbh plasmatics motorhead Etc and my friends all liked the fixx. Oingo boingo and devo
We saw them in Reno at a small bar on Grove Street in 1983 or 84. Man, they just about rocked that place to the ground. It was a special performance arranged by a local concert promoter and we lucked out, sitting in a booth 10 feet from the stage. Best concert of my life.
Me too, brother... I really miss the 80s, especially the early 80s. And contrast today's girls with the girls from back then. No comparison... Today's girls are like little versions of that White rapper M&M. It's pathetic.
I bought this album, Shuttered Room I think it was called when it first came out. Absolutely great debut. There were alot of new wavish type bands out around that time but there was something about the Fixx that was above and beyond alot of others. Although you don't hear them that much on the radio anymore, you do once in a while and they've stood the test of time better then alot of their contemporaries from that time. Good music and lyrics. Perhaps reminiscent of U2 but with more of a pop sense. Not as political, but they did have something to say about current issues in Europe, at least on their early stuff.
Okay, this is the fourth song I know just looking them up. The Fixx still has songs in rotation today, yet I feel like no one talks about them. "Underrated" get thrown around, but I think this applies to The Fixx 100%.
You know a song is powerfully written when it is able to embody the circumstances and sentiments of people within a society with such accuracy that the lyrics themselves could be applied just as easily to the sociopolitical issues about 36 years later. Epic poetry.
WOW how succinctly said , I was in my 20's when this and other songs of the same ilk were penned,music is the wondrous bridge between yesteryear and now 🤘🏼 Rock on
lol no it doesnt, america is already dead, and im voting for trump again. Its over. You leftist were suckerd by corporate america to let in 80 million immigrants. War and redrawn boundaries is the only thing that fixes this.
you must be young because back when they came out when i was a teen they were huge and very much appreciated. when i went to the concert it was fully packed.
I had just been stationed at DLI in Monterey, CA. I remember driving around Asilomar Beach at night listening to this. Getting out of my car, I could smell the ocean and garlic from Gilroy. Edit: Look at the words and apply to 2024. Prophetic much? Wow.🤯
Released in October of 1982 which landed me about 7weeks into the 7th grade. New school, the new kid, MTV was in the stage of infancy...what a great time to be alive.
The 80’s music is so underrated. I grew up in the 80’s thank god. We didn’t have cell phones and these incredible video games, and I had a great childhood because we didn’t.
Lp vinyl records, with gate fold double and even triple albums, were so artistic and visually kool, like then what happened?! why do we demand so much constant change?! Why do we so obsessively gotta keep shrinking everything down more and more?!
@@michaelbruns449 Hence, why my favorite musical items to collect, since 2008, have been Japanese (and, when available, American) mini-LP cardboard sleeve Hi-Def CDs. The best of both worlds.
It isn't what utube deems 'trend worthy'. Basically it's not trash and holds value so they will not offer it to young people. They will never see it unless a compassionate relative suggests it.
Saw these guys in 1983 at holender stadium rochester ny .they opened ,flock of seagulls ,then the police syncroniscity tour .they blew those other 2 acts out of the stadium 15$ a ticket 80s were great
Zimriel is right. I’m grateful that President Reagan fought to end the Cold War and tear down the Berlin Wall, but it didn’t happen until the end of his second term. From 1981-88, great songs were being written all over the world, but especially in Europe (99 Luftballons by Nena, Is There Something I Should Know? by Duran Duran {which included the great line “You’re about as easy as a nuclear war”}, and many more) about the fear of a nuclear conflict breaking out between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Also, a lot of people were suffering because of recessions and high unemployment, especially in the U.K. under Margaret Thatcher. It led to British bands making great timeless punk and pop and new wave and New Romantic music. The Fixx really honed in on the issues of the day and made music filled with angst and disturbing images that still resonate today. And I think, like Midnight Oil in Australia, they didn’t necessarily aim for hits, but the songs became hits all the same because they sounded great and made a statement too. So you’re both right, but in different ways. And I just saw them live in 2017 and they still sound great, which cannot be said about every 80s band!
@@whyiotter exactly. Everyone likes to act like Reagan was so great as a president when in reality he was terrible. He is literally the reason why the US is where it is today (poverty-stricken, the ever increasing wage gap, the ending of the middle class family, homelessness running rampant, mental illness going untreated for many, etc etc). There’s a reason why “reaganomics” is a term. It seems like only the New Wave kids were aware of how damaging his presidency would be. Several New Wave band wrote at least one song that criticized him in some way (The Psychedelic Furs wrote several). To get more on track, however, he is the reason so many great songs were written in the 80s.
My all time favorite song from them. Fantastic song here. Love this jam. Great lyrics. Great guitar sound. Cool video too 😎. i have this song on repeat. Love and miss the 80s. 😥😥😥😥😥
Listening to this music almost, at least for a little while allows me to forget I'm an "essential employee" up all night at work during this corona virus bullshit! Missing simpler times.. thanks for posting!
Had a room mate back in the 80's who introduced me to theFixx, funny how a generation or 2 go by and this song now sounds as fresh as it ever did. Sounds like some new innovative style to me . . . beautiful stuff
One of my favorite songs of the 80s but I've got lots and I was born in the 50s but they had some good music in that era God bless and Godspeed to all y'all
I agree. Great music was made in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s ... And then gradually music died. What is called music today is essentially noise pollution!
I took my General Electric 2 C cell, mono tape player and put it upside down on my clock radio to tape this song. I had a pair of tapes of all my favorite songs, recorded in this fashion. I was 12 years old
Coincidentally, "One Thing Leads to Another," and "Saved By Zero" are one of the other songs by The Fixx that also rocks just as good as this one. Ah.. memories of the MTV era. 😎
Damn ! Here we are in the Year 2020 .... Remembering the 80’s . What an awesome generation it was . Reflections of the Music, the Fashions and who ever thought . The Evolution of What are we all in today the Tech World . Crazy !
Its like always Stand Or Fall for every new generation of people and so this haunting and hypnotic song will always sound relatable and be lyrically forever relevant, reaching out into the past the present and the future.
I saw The Fixx on July 26, 2018 at The Rose in Pasadena, CA, and they were in top form. I was especially fixated on Jamie West-Oram on guitar and Dan K. Brown on bass during the entire set. Great musicians in a great band. Cy Curnin is a true frontman.
Still touring 2017 USA. ...That speaks for itself. People say that they didn't like New Wave music, well, when they stop to think about it, they realize that they still know all of the words to the songs...This band was very underrated. I loved New Wave, and I grew up in with the late sixties and early seventies music..
Cindy Barfield I was about 12 when this came out I think or 13 but it reminds me of the good old 80s...fashion not cool but music was nice ..new wave ,the police,oingo boingo,erasure ,reggae bands like steel pulse ,and many good movies too
Makes me want to cry. Suddenly I am standing on my mama's porch looking down the street watching the cars go by at night. Me and my little brother. He is gone now but this song right here takes me back to that magical time.
I loved these guys in the 80s, bought all their CDs, then time passes and in 2012 we wanted to move, left northern MN and came to check out Bend, OR and heard about a free concert along the river, attended and it was....The FIXX for 2 hrs!! Made the move decision sooooo easy!
This song resonates with me at a time when Americans seem to be at each other's throats. We need to remember that we are all countrymen. We are all neighbors that simply want the best for our families and communities. Together we STAND, divided we FALL.
I was 17 when this came out. Now more than ever this song is relevant to the United States and those of us that served proudly in the military. I fear all we protected is lost on the generations behind us....
Thank you for serving my friend….. and I pray for all those who paid the ultimate price for our country. It’s a shame all of your sacrifices seem to have been in vain with the path our country has taken. God bless you.
I love the Fixx! Definetly one all time favorite new wave alternative band, and very underrated! They're awesome! I still have They're albums in cassette!!👌😎👍
Saw them mid 2k's in a park Virginia Highland Fest Atlanta Ga. Missed them during the 80's. Friends and I had a blast. The band appreciated it since at one time they were playing arenas.
Saw them at the Malibu Inn about only 10 yrs. ago as I never caught them in their heyday; lotta bands I missed in the '70's, '80's & caught up w/ later, some were still smokin' hot & had some or all of the original members, these guys had the singer & 1 or 2 of the original guys but they were really, really good, singer took care of himself, voice was still all the way there, great show ! Always loved the Fixx !

Been there Mike, Rock on! 😎
I love it! Me too 😋 Rock on!

Mmmm...mmmm

This song is just as relevant today as it was the day it was recorded.
Timeless in my opinion
No kidding! Gives me chills.
Way ahead of its time even now
I've made the same conclusion that you have come to I remember Red Skies tonight
Love Red Skies too!
The 80s were the golden age of music, romance, tolerance, sanity…
Heart and sincerity, truth and purity....no auto tune....nothing fake just REAL music!!!
It is true...
Im famous they were like wtf to jessamyn and marqui. Im racist.
Shitloads of cocaine

They played this one on my favorite rock-station 97X when I was growing-up. Right next to Quiet Riot and Dio
We saw them in Reno at a small bar on Grove Street in 1983 or 84. Man, they just about rocked that place to the ground. It was a special performance arranged by a local concert promoter and we lucked out, sitting in a booth 10 feet from the stage. Best concert of my life.
Damn!!! Wish I would have been there in Reno!!!!!
I saw them in 1999. I believe in little rock at some club. Maybe 200 people. Amazing band.
I was there,worked at harrahs got off at like 10,it was the grand ballroom awesome ,across from bishops!
WOW! what a great story! ❤
I saw these guys in Atlantic Beach NC, maybe 50 people, amazing!!!!
The 80s. Man, what a time in history to come of age. I miss those days.....and those girls

And contrast today's girls with the girls from back then. No comparison... Today's girls are like little versions of that White rapper M&M. It's pathetic.
An absolutely incredible song. These guys were so good, and so underrated.
Right U are Stevie a true classic !!!
Underrated my nut sack. There’s always some moron who posts the “so underrated” comment on here.

They truly were the best years of my life.

3rd grade lol...I was 20, and life was grand!!!
we had time...time still felt like it was somewhat on-our-side, tho we 'knew better' even then, didn't we?
I wish I could go back ❤
This song needs to played on the radio more instead of the stuff they play over & over!
This song brings fond memories from back in school. This is another band that's UNDER APPRECIATED. Just listen to the lyrics, melody
Jack FM is the absolute worst station ever.

These lyrics though! This song is timeless and so relevant!
When I first heard StandOrFall, I could nor believe my good luck! My God, the music of a lifetime....finally good music I've waited a lifetime to hear
This and Red Sky's are my favorite The Fixx songs.
Don't forget One Thing Leads To Another
One of the Fixx's better songs from the early '80s. this band was really under appreciated. Thanks for posting this!
You're welcome !
Why didn’t this band make it in a huge way in the UK? Same with the Comsat Angels.
you must be young because back when they came out when i was a teen they were huge and very much appreciated. when i went to the concert it was fully packed.
They were big in the USA. Not so much in the UK and Europe. Saw the Fixx twice in Holland, in 1982 en in 2012.
Here in the USA they blew up big. I mean huge because they we're that dam good. Sounded good in concert.
I had just been stationed at DLI in Monterey, CA. I remember driving around Asilomar Beach at night listening to this. Getting out of my car, I could smell the ocean and garlic from Gilroy.
Edit: Look at the words and apply to 2024. Prophetic much? Wow.🤯
A timeless masterpiece!!! The Fixx still tours and rocks hard as ever, man!!!
The Fixx gave a fixx in the 80’s, a way no one else can full fill!
Released in October of 1982 which landed me about 7weeks into the 7th grade. New school, the new kid, MTV was in the stage of infancy...what a great time to be alive.
For sure 👍
omg i was 12 😮😮😮
The 80’s music is so underrated. I grew up in the 80’s thank god. We didn’t have cell phones and these incredible video games, and I had a great childhood because we didn’t.
I always thought this song sounded so apocalyptic. An athem from the survivors. One of the best album covers of all time.
Lp vinyl records, with gate fold double and even triple albums, were so artistic and visually kool, like then what happened?! why do we demand so much constant change?! Why do we so obsessively gotta keep shrinking everything down more and more?!

Jonathan Strauss That’s Right!

This band really had a unique sound. It was all their own, this is a great one to show that.

Been blasting this lately!

Man this brings back memories of the 80's. The Reagan years were absolutely awesome.
this was an anti Cold War song; it was anti Reagan
zimriel
You mean the guy who single-handedly befriended the leader of the Soviet Union and ended the Cold War? Okay...
Zimriel is right. I’m grateful that President Reagan fought to end the Cold War and tear down the Berlin Wall, but it didn’t happen until the end of his second term. From 1981-88, great songs were being written all over the world, but especially in Europe (99 Luftballons by Nena, Is There Something I Should Know? by Duran Duran {which included the great line “You’re about as easy as a nuclear war”}, and many more) about the fear of a nuclear conflict breaking out between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Also, a lot of people were suffering because of recessions and high unemployment, especially in the U.K. under Margaret Thatcher. It led to British bands making great timeless punk and pop and new wave and New Romantic music. The Fixx really honed in on the issues of the day and made music filled with angst and disturbing images that still resonate today. And I think, like Midnight Oil in Australia, they didn’t necessarily aim for hits, but the songs became hits all the same because they sounded great and made a statement too.
So you’re both right, but in different ways. And I just saw them live in 2017 and they still sound great, which cannot be said about every 80s band!
@@whyiotter exactly. Everyone likes to act like Reagan was so great as a president when in reality he was terrible. He is literally the reason why the US is where it is today (poverty-stricken, the ever increasing wage gap, the ending of the middle class family, homelessness running rampant, mental illness going untreated for many, etc etc). There’s a reason why “reaganomics” is a term. It seems like only the New Wave kids were aware of how damaging his presidency would be. Several New Wave band wrote at least one song that criticized him in some way (The Psychedelic Furs wrote several).
To get more on track, however, he is the reason so many great songs were written in the 80s.
@EricaFlipped you are delusional.

So many excellent Fixx songs. This just moved to number 1 for me.
I had the honor of witnessing The Fixx open for Flock of Seagulls in '83.
The Fixx was a big part of making the 80's the great decade of music that it was.
They opened for The Moody Blues back in Chicago in the mid 90's.........greatest $18 bucks I ever spent !!!
Thank you God for letting me experience this era 🙏 man take me back
Makes me want to cry. Suddenly I am standing on my mama's porch looking down the street watching the cars go by at night. Me and my little brother. He is gone now but this song right here takes me back to that magical time.
The Fixx were boss in the 80's. Very ethereal.
I concur!🎵
Love this tune. I noticed a lot of music from the eighties had a "seriousness" to it, like this song, but totally lacking in most of today's music!
the fixx ...totally unique ... this song is awesome ...
please let me recommend another fixx song ...red skies at night ...
agreed!
Driven Out is a Great Song that kicks the piss outta the usual suspects!
yes yes!!!
And yet another......"Saved by zero". Love The Fixx!
The Fixx is in my rollodex of listenable music for good reason!

This song resonates with me at a time when Americans seem to be at each other's throats. We need to remember that we are all countrymen. We are all neighbors that simply want the best for our families and communities. Together we STAND, divided we FALL.
Dammit these guys are good!!!! Underrated is an understatement when it comes to this band.
I was 17 when this came out. Now more than ever this song is relevant to the United States and those of us that served proudly in the military. I fear all we protected is lost on the generations behind us....
Thank you for serving my friend….. and I pray for all those who paid the ultimate price for our country. It’s a shame all of your sacrifices seem to have been in vain with the path our country has taken. God bless you.
I wish these fellows had the commercial success of a band like U2 into the 90's and 00's. They were highly underrated!
They had all the talent but did not keep the hits coming like U2.
Faux Craig Singhouse And no freaking Bono! I still like early U2. But they got way too political, and way too Bono.
Such a great band to see live.
Still after all the years this is still a great song its one of my favorite songs
top notch 80's....great band
Love this song and band. The Fixx represents just how good the 80's music was. And the only Fixx i needed.
I will be rocking this tune till the day I die I am the biproduct of the 80's
There were a lot of good times this brings back.
Fortunate enough to see these guys this summer at a small venue in Newport News, VA. They're still awesome!
I love the Fixx! Definetly one all time favorite new wave alternative band, and very underrated! They're awesome! I still have They're albums in cassette!!👌😎👍
Saw them mid 2k's in a park Virginia Highland Fest Atlanta Ga. Missed them during the 80's. Friends and I had a blast. The band appreciated it since at one time they were playing arenas.
The entire album is a musical masterpiece! One of my favorite bands.
1980s had great music and this a great song! Thumbs up people👍
I remember being at the coast guard base in Gloucester city NJ watching all the great videos on mtv
Even though I’m a metalhead The Fixx’s music still appealed to me in the 80’s. Great band, great times!! 🤘🏻
Saw them at the Malibu Inn about only 10 yrs. ago as I never caught them in their heyday; lotta bands I missed in the '70's, '80's & caught up w/ later, some were still smokin' hot & had some or all of the original members, these guys had the singer & 1 or 2 of the original guys but they were really, really good, singer took care of himself, voice was still all the way there, great show ! Always loved the Fixx !
