1979. Düsseldorf, Ratingen, Wohnsilos. Ich, ca 9 Jahre alt, zu Besuch bei meinem Grossonkel und meiner Großtante. Die Kids in der Umgebung haben einen "Discokeller" mit Aluminiumpapier ausgestattet und diesen Hammersong rauf und runter gespielt! Meine kindlich-musikalischen Sinne von Disney, Pumuckel und Hui-Bui waren von da ab befreit! Schöne Zeit - Erinnerungen... DANKE FÜRS REINSTELLEN!!!
Liegt daran, dass die Musiker früher noch Musiker waren. Heute hat man eine Produzenten und Songwriter die die ganzen Charts bedienen. Die ''Musiker'' sind nur noch Werbegesichter zu Vermarktungszwecken. Gilt nicht für alle, aber leider die meisten.

always good to hear good old british songs as old as this, this song is 43 years old from 1979 to 2022, i remember when this was in record shops so i bought it in 7 inch record,
Memories of the late 70's discos and fun fares with the roller boots on the girls and us boys on our skateboards or choppers.. Long hot summers and yes that was here in the UK. Quality song thats still got a great beat to it now all these years on. 70'S and 80's music rules .
Ausgezeichnetes Lied, gute Stimme, feiner Rythmus, dezenter Bass und ein halbwegs sinnvoller Text, mehr braucht ein guter Song nicht. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert !
this song is my awakening in music, played in the GDR from a woman in my kindergarden that i was crying for days since my parents sticking me into it.... i was crying again today... but not for sadness :D
As someone else mentioned, mostly the single or the inferior 80’s remixes on Spotify. Finally, someone posts the original 79 extended version. Cheers 🥂❤️
A walk in the park. I've got to get some sense Back into my head. I`m in the dark. And I can`t see Where I`m being led. I`d give the world To set the clock back And act like a man. Where can I turn To save myself from this confusion. A walk in the park, a step in the dark. A walk in the park, a trip in the dark. I`m getting away, escaping today. A walk in the park. Away from all The busy streets of my mind. I seek a straighter path. I seek a shady clay in which to unwind. But why do we go on. In spite of mistakes. In spite of destruction. Life can be fun Depending on the situation. A walk in the park, a step in the dark. A walk in the park, a trip in the dark. I`m getting away, escaping today. A walk in the park, a step in the dark. A walk in the park. [Repeat] I`m getting away. A walk in the park. [Repeat] I`m getting away. from Nicholas Charles Bailey
I didn't hear this song for roundabout ten years. While having a walk in the park with my dad today, he started singing this and I felt like being a child again for a moment.
35 years after I first heard this, I came back to Google, Nick Straker Band, 'A Walk in the Park'. Why this was never a hit, when it managed to burn its way into my memory for that length of a time having first heard it as an 11 year old schoolboy, is a mystery to me. Along with Landscape's 'Einstein A Go Go' and Tenpole Tudor's 'Swords of a 1000 men' they were a couple of other songs I heard and never forgot from my coach tuned to Radio 1 on the way to and from school.
This was a hit in Europe in 79. In March 1980 BBC Radio 1 put it on their rotation playlist, three times a day, but it failed to chart significantly. The UK's loss...
I was just serving in the German Bundeswehr at that time. Everytime when I listen to this song, I still see the grinning mugs of corporals and sergeants in the garrisons pub.
Ja, da haben Sie vollkommen recht! Seit Anfang der 2000er höre ich gar nichts mehr Aktuelles! Finde die Songs von den 50ern bis Ende der 90er cool, aber danach hört es bei mir auf. Ohrwürmer gibts doch seit Ende der 90er nicht mehr oder schon länger. Finde es traurig, aber beim Fernsehen ist es genau dasselbe Lied/Leid!! Da kommt auch nur noch Gockgolores (Unsinn) dran, angefangen von schwachsinnigen Doku-Soaps bis zu Comedyserien, die sowieso in 5, spätestens in 10 Jahren niemand mehr schaut!!!
I like having a walk in the park; so this song gives out a clear message of the social and mental benefits to be achieved by anyone who participates in such pleasures! :-/
A wonderful preview of the English romantic movement (Duran Duran, Pete Shelley, Thompson Twins, Heaven 17, etc.) who along with Prince would dominate early-80s post-disco.
Reminds me of the endless parties during the year I graduated from High School. Most of the time I didn't even know whether I was stoned or drunk... Or both. XD
Tuesday 12th November 2002 I was listening to this song on the Brig VS repeater frequency of DRS3 (now SRF3) and the Inter Regio train that I was riding at the time, was pulling into Siders / Sierre, about the end of the song. The train's next-stop announcement was in German, not in French. It was crossing the Röstigraben heading west to Sion / Setten and further to Geneva. When the train left Siders / Sierre, DRS3 played "Häbs güet" by Plüsch just afterwards.

Right back to my teens, what a blast from the past, absolutely fantastic song 🤩
Was für eine tolle Nummer, immer noch so Klasse wie vor 40 Jahren, nicht zu vergleichen mit dem heutigen Schrott

Musik zum tanzen...diese Zeit war schön. Echte Musik und Melodie...ohne Bum Bum Bum. Lange vorbei aber nicht vergessen.
This is probably the best song ever, end of story. 💜 The solo is just INSANE 💜 This track reminds me of my childhood. Good times 💜
OH YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn right man👍👍
Fantastico. And a top guitar solo for sure
Die ganzen alten Klamotten kann man heut immer noch hören,so geile Mucke...wesentlich lieber als das,was es teilweise in der heutigen Zeit gibt.

Ja.. dieses Lied ist so bahnbrechend gut.. ich könnte sofort lostanzen.
Wie seriös wirken solch übertiebene Kommentare ?

umso historischer ist es. Außerdem gibt es ja auch gute Retrorock bands von heute.
70er Forever Top👍🏻🥰
Sto volando all'indietro con la memoria...📻🎙🎚🎛
My first time at a disco just 14 years of age ... 💃 ... now dancing in the kittchen i get a funny look from my grandson 😆

A walk in the park.
I've got to get some sense
Back into my head.
I`m in the dark.
And I can`t see
Where I`m being led.
I`d give the world
To set the clock back
And act like a man.
Where can I turn
To save myself from this confusion.
A walk in the park, a step in the dark.
A walk in the park, a trip in the dark.
I`m getting away, escaping today.
A walk in the park.
Away from all
The busy streets of my mind.
I seek a straighter path.
I seek a shady clay in which to unwind.
But why do we go on.
In spite of mistakes.
In spite of destruction.
Life can be fun
Depending on the situation.
A walk in the park, a step in the dark.
A walk in the park, a trip in the dark.
I`m getting away, escaping today.
A walk in the park, a step in the dark.
A walk in the park. [Repeat]
I`m getting away.
A walk in the park. [Repeat]
I`m getting away.

It reached number 20 in the UK charts 1980
I bet living by numbers ,New musik was one of em? I've had that tune in my head for 40yr noe lol.
Dreaming of Me by Depeche Mode does it for me every time. 🙂👍

It still reached the top 20 in the UK. Not bad at all for such a leftfield song...

10 people obviously can't see the benefits of a walk in the park!
Which is weird as a walk can lead to sex in the park. If you don't mind the wet grass. ( inside joke 😏)

Wonderfulllllllll.
Blijft toch een mooi nummer ter herindering van mijn jeugd
