Ohh the glorious decade of the 80s and this band that I miss so much!! I am glad that I experienced it in my teenage years!! Who else agrees with me on this?
This song was new when I met my future wife @ 19 years old. She asked me out through a mutual friend. Oh my, she was so pretty with that smile, 80's hair and a she was and still is a real sweetheart. She told me I was the most handsome boy she had ever saw. A year later we were married and still are. Where have the years gone to?
Good to read about you guys. I came out a pub near home, rather drunk after being dumped, she conned me into taking her home. that was in1970, now it's 2024, we got married in 1972 still married today 11/7/24. That is 52 years wed in September this year 2024. She was not quite 17 I was just of 20, Motown and the Twins fed us while young. Kids of today do not know what good music is, sorry kids, our grandkids laugh when they see us kiss and dance. Hey we are still on the honeymoon. Every word here is the truth. Love from Perth Australia
Perhaps the best of all the decades no matter where you happened to be !! I grew up with this music in sanctioned South Africa and forever glad for the independent radio stations that played non conformist or banned music due to a good deal of smuggling from the surrounding countries..
I was 10 in 1983, 17 by 1990, 18 1991, 19 1992, 20 1993, 21 1994, 22 1995, 23 1996, 24 1997, 25 1998.......etc.etc. I had a great life. Now the 2000s to now everything garbage. The only great thing is the weather, excellent health, my only son now 21, I never wanted to get married 😂😂😂
The 80's! I was there! It was a privilege. It was my childhood .Thanks to all who participated. It'll never be duplicated again in all of human history! ✌️
If society would really listen to this song and try to live out the message from the Thompson Twins…we would all be much happier and better off. This song is better than gold.
I was 20 years old in 1984 and the best years of hits was from 1982-1986 the late1980s was fading away with very little hits and it started picking up again into the early 1990s to 1997 then faded away again.
I was 13 in 84 and agree after around 87/88 music started taking a turn for the worse, the odd decent tune came along here and there but not as prolifically as earlier in the decade.
Where was I when this song was new? I was 13, so how I missed it, I just don't know. I used to watch MTV (remember when they had actual music videos?) and TBS Friday nights, Night Tracks. I found this on Pandora and I have probably listened to it 100 times. I always LOVED the Thompson Twins.
.... *THIS POOR, POOR SONG!!* ....This was was a Top Ten hit March 1986, and NO ONE remembers it! ...TT had a LOT of behind the scenes drama at the time, but... it's unfathomable that this cute ditty sat with some of the BIG CONTENDERS in March '86, and it gets little mention...let's peek at their peak (at #8 Pop), then, shall we!?? (cont.) 10. Kiss - Prince & The Revolution 9. What You Need - INXS 8. ***King For A Day*** - Thompson Twins (...why doesn't ANYONE remember this tune!???) 7. Nikita - Elton John 6. Kyrie (7" mix) - Mr. Mister 5. R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. - John (Cougar) Mellencamo 4. Rock Me Amadeus - Falco 3. Secret Lovers - Atlantic Starr 2. Sara - Starship 1. These Dreams - Heart
I wasn’t even alive in the 80s, but this song is so memorable to me. CVS plays it at least 2-3 times in an 8-hour shift. It took a while to figure out the name of the song and the band, but it’s a vibe.
This song and video are fantastic. If only people would live by those words. Thompson Twins put a lot of feeling into their songs. The small robot was Omnibot, which I had wanted back then.
So, I just searched for “Hold Me Now” assuming that The Thompson Twins were a one hit wonder…. And WOW was I wrong! I literally just rediscovered about half of my favorite songs from the 80s that never knew who the artists were. ❤❤
Love the Beatles reference.....Love is all you need.....Thompson Twins 4 ever ❤......Lucky to experience them in the 1980's......One of the best 80's bands hands down imho.
I absolutely can't stand this song! It reminds me of loosing and not having enough of anything such as income! It also brings back bad memories of loosing my beloved cousin in winter of 1986. I certainly love Hold Me Now which was released a couple of years earlier!
Muy buen grupo los sigo desde sus inicios ... Lamentablemente nunca hicieron nada grande ni un concierto monumental gigantesco como muchos otros grupos de su época siempre se mantuvieron apenas a flote Nunca con muchos números uno en el ranking siempre se acostumbraron a los terceros lugares Y hoy en día solo se les recuerda Ya que el grupo en sí ya no existe
Too bad the one soul I "gave it all away" for was a poisonous viper, lol! 😂🤣😂 Oh well. In the end, it doesn't matter because it didn't change MY soul nor ethics. 💪😎✌️ Besides, I'll be outta here in a few, and I'm takin' 'em with me.
Ohh the glorious decade of the 80s and this band that I miss so much!! I am glad that I experienced it in my teenage years!! Who else agrees with me on this?
SO MUCH THIS!!!!!
Totally
I agree! I miss it so much! ❤️
Yes we had the best time
I love the Thompson twins they made some music

I'm gonna be bold and say that 1986 was the best year of music in the 80s.
It definitely wasn't a bad year!
84 was my favourite. Apparently voted as such in a poll, but who am I to say? 80s full stop will never be repeated
84 was my favourite and also voted best year for music apparently on radio
@@garyfinnerty1628 sorry didn't see you what you had said, and also 80's was amazing yes
I've heard that too. It was the year I awoke to pop music culture.@@grahamcheesman2252
What a time to be a teenager! Miss those days!

I do too 😢

@@nightowl6811 although the 80’s music was great,the nineties kept the great tunes going! There is no denying how awesome the 90’s music was.
My God this takes me back to childhood. Listen to it monthly. Wish we could go back!
I wish we could too 😢
Nobody can say 80's music wasn't cool
Some of the best times in my life, the 80s. And I've always been a big TT fan. How I long for those carefree days again!
The 80's!
I was there! It was a privilege. It was my childhood .Thanks to all who participated. It'll never be duplicated again in all of human history! ✌️
I was a teenager awesome era definitely won’t never be again.!❤
Oh yeah im a child of the 80s love it
83 to 88 cannot be matched for diversity in music
THE GREAT DAYS OF " MTV "
WONDERFUL TIMES OF THE 80'S
I was in Walgreens today and this was playing. Ahhh, the memories it brought back.
The 80's had such great music. I love it all even still
My favorite Thompson Twins song.
My too❤
I can never get enough Thompson Twins!
Ahhhh the memories ❤
One of their more amazing songs of all time!
King for a Day is my all time favorite Thompson Twins song, love the 1980's!!
I agree 💕👍
X 2❤
Doctor, doctor! Please hold me now, since today I am the king for a day with listening Tommy's songs!
My favorite TT song. I saw them with Howard Jones and Frankie Gies To Hollywood in the mid 80s.

Listening December 2023.
Third Top 10 hit for this awesome trio. What '80s memories are made of.
What a masterpiece, endless..
This song really puts me in a good mood

I remember this, I was in 3rd grade! Still love it!
I wasn’t even alive in the 80s, but this song is so memorable to me. CVS plays it at least 2-3 times in an 8-hour shift. It took a while to figure out the name of the song and the band, but it’s a vibe.

This song and video are fantastic. If only people would live by those words. Thompson Twins put a lot of feeling into their songs. The small robot was Omnibot, which I had wanted back then.

You can be be bold all you , I'm an 80,s kid, the thompkin twins were legendary! And their fashion was was trend setting!
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
So, I just searched for “Hold Me Now” assuming that The Thompson Twins were a one hit wonder…. And WOW was I wrong! I literally just rediscovered about half of my favorite songs from the 80s that never knew who the artists were. ❤❤
I cannot believe I am going to see Tom Bailey with the Mrs in May! Excited, HELL YEA! This was on the fuc no bucket list!❤
2024 anyone?

They will be Kings and Queen forever.

Happy/talented music; not like in 2023.
Gen X!
Que chuladaaaa.
Happy days❤
They pretty much were (though it wasn't easy finding a job then).
Stuff was a lot more affordable.
Banger babies
I was in the marines but when i was done had to catch up and i did
I always thought the lead singer and the girl wete twins, hence their band name, but they got the name from an English TV detective show!
The eighties music rocked!
I wanna go back then life sucks now
Great days....
Epic
Saw them in 1984 paramount theater seattle
Yep 2024 still listening….but are there really twins cause I’m not seeing twins on the video
I'm 15 again....HOLY FUCK!!! ....🤘😜🍻🇨🇦
love is all
❤❤❤❤
King for a day a favorite of Long Island girls
I have this album from Columbia House....I can only imagine the amount of cocaine that was consumed.🤔😆😆
❤
Muy buen grupo los sigo desde sus inicios ... Lamentablemente nunca hicieron nada grande ni un concierto monumental gigantesco como muchos otros grupos de su época siempre se mantuvieron apenas a flote
Nunca con muchos números uno en el ranking siempre se acostumbraron a los terceros lugares
Y hoy en día solo se les recuerda
Ya que el grupo en sí ya no existe
The New Romantics Alright
Thaks for nothing! I really liked this song when it came out. Now when I hear it, I feel old and out of place.😎
We Have not left you ! Please do not leave us
What happened to the HD one?
BTW, love this band.
I'm surprised they haven't all been revamped to HD
@@GRAHAM2109 I thought they were at one time. Guess not. Yes, they should be.
Alannah my God 👌❤️
すばらしい
転調しないこの安定感
マクスウェルのテープのcm
As an 80s teen now geezer.... D'know what reminded me of this song?...Judge Chutkan reminds Donald Trump that "We don't have Kings in America"....😊😊❤
80s
im so srry luke!!!!!!!!!:(
NEW "FL": DIE ZEIT MÜSSTE WIEDER ZURÜCK KEHREN....!!
Brothers and sisters react to Thompson twins! ( king for a day )
I don't care for today's music anymore
They performed this song on Soul Train. I liked the Twins & all, but nobody was feeling it..
🏆🥇🥈🥉🏅🎖️🎼🎵🎶
The only thing that sucked about the 80s was that they ended.
Is anyone building a time machine because we need to go back...
You and I can meet up with Mcfly and take the Delorean back to the 80’s. I’m ready 👍
I wanted the lead singer's hairstyle so bad. I got close by using red mousse in my hair
Remember colored mousse?
I remember that red mousse 😂
Too bad the one soul I "gave it all away" for was a poisonous viper, lol! 😂🤣😂 Oh well. In the end, it doesn't matter because it didn't change MY soul nor ethics. 💪😎✌️ Besides, I'll be outta here in a few, and I'm takin' 'em with me.
