I was 18 when i saw these guys at the Gold Coaster. Now im 70 and this song brings back so many memories and tears, what a great song by a great band.
An unknown great song in the world
Ummm did you mean now you’re 50? Because they weren’t around as a band 52 years ago 😉😁
You saw them on a rollercoaster?
I just cried. Please bring back the 80's. I'd do anything to get in a time machine and go back to never return to this absolute mess.
I often feel exactly the same way. Just give thanks that we lived in the 80s.
Oh boy, haven’t seen this before 😮
Take me there too please!!!😢
Same! 👍
I can't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We mourn like mourning death
I don’t know why, but this song makes me proud to be an Aussie!
Yes indeed it's almost an anthem!
This music video makes me recall a lovely little church I used to attend in Hurstbridge ,Melbourne Australia in the 1990s.
Don't get too over proud, sonny, because these atrocious lockdowns & fines brings out the worst in aussies
I used to live in Australia when this song was launched and i used to listen to this wonderful song on 96 FM.. those were the days
@@russtorque2993 yes agree. This was a great time to live in Australia and ge Australian. Not so much now.
Still better than anything on the radio today.
Agree. If only we knew it back then. 😪
Estuve 7 años en busca de este temazo, no lo encontraba No conocia la banda ni el titulo de la cancion La tararee en google y despues de 100 intentos aparacio¡¡¡¡No lo puedo creer Gracias mil Google voice¡¡¡¡
Well gold 104.3 is basically the station mostly on 80s 70s and 90s songs.
@@mauroovin4652good on ya
I'm musician from Argentina, i love australian music, is incredible! 1927 it's an underrated band. God bless Australia!
💖💖💖
Thanks!
So great that you love our music my second cousin is the lead singer of 1927 hope you are keeping well and safe love Anthony Fed ex lol
Soda...
Good bless you too 🙏 🎶 🇦🇺🇦🇷
If I Could, I would induct 1927 into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I'm a Canadian from Vancouver, but this song brings back such great memories from the summer of 88-89 when I worked and lived in Australia. A few years later, I had it played at my wedding back home up north in Cranbrook BC. Everyone said..."Love that! Who is it?" Great song, great band.
greg you speak a truth that brings back so many memories and creates a bond between us because we are 1. 1927 fans and 2. canadians and Australians that resonate with a natural connection that’s obvious from the experiences of so many of us Australians overseas and plain from the words you write.
You Sir have impeccable taste. Ive seen them live twice and they are extraordinary.
When I was a teenager and lived on a farm in outback Australia, I had a crush on a boy named Andy. The singer in 1927 reminds me of him. I imagine he's singing to me personally. Now I'm in my early 60's and I still feel like I'm that teenager each time I hear their songs.
@@judymiller975 beautiful
G'day Greg hello from Australia 🇦🇺 yes mate this is 1 of my favourite songs and a bloody hell of a good band.....I sea my baby she's a master piece of art she's my main squeeze we dance fast then slow I say nice ass we're in a dream cool as can be the master show yeah she's first class she makes my mind blast it blows. 🇦🇺🇨🇦
Whilst on the subject of deceased parents , the elderly lady in this video who started dancing to the band , was my mother ! Her theatrical name was Shirley Donald. She passed away in 2011 from lung cancer aged 94 years. She would DEFINITELY have approved of my posting this comment , and her performance in this video was very much as she was in real life. PS : I would like to thank everyone for their interest in my mother's appearance in this video and have just rediscovered another video in which she also had a role. This is titled " Eat Red Meat Old People's Band " , which is quite remarkable in that I did not even recognise her at first !
Murray. She is shining much brighter then a diamond ever dared mate.
@@YodelWayneBannister 👍
Que bello recuerdo🎉
@@YodelWayneBannister What a lovely thing to say.
Wow, Really !!!!
This was the most underrated group in the history of Australian music unfortunately they only had the one hit album and what an amazing album it was
Proves Hits mean nothing at all
Your joking
They opened here in Brisbane for Roxette, Valentine's Day 2015 ... & hadn't lost it then👍🏻
Looking forward to 9 October to hear the gents again 🎙👍🏻 #Australialovesyou #1927 🇦🇺🎙♥️🎙🇦🇺
best album ish
Not true. The second album was better than the first.
Hi I am from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 🇵🇬 ..my mom played this song back in 88..as kids from the 80s..we all can relate to this song..mom passed away in 05...I cry every time I hear this song 🎵 😭..RIP MOM....
👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Australians make the best music. You can't go wrong with Australian music, especially rock music is amazing.
It's an interesting fusion for sure.
Agree. What an album! Brings back my younger years! Electric blue, John Farnham...
You that right sister
Hey Dani I like this Aussie music very cool I like the screaming Jets too

My father died last year of oesophageal cancer and this was played at his funeral accompanied with photos of our life as a a family. Such a beautiful soulful song. RIP Keith Barwick.
Sorry to hear of your loss. My father died from liver cancer in 2014 so I can relate. However, it's nice that your family chose such a beautiful, meaningful song as part of his sendoff - really great choice. :)
Erized Thank you for your message. I'm sorry for your loss.Cancer is so quick and mean. It makes you realise your mortality. I hope you and your family are doing okay after your Dads death. 🌹
Anthony Barwick I hope time has eased the pain for you and Erized
NorthernUnion13 Thank you for your message. You must be a very nice person to send those thoughts to a person you haven’t met before on the internet. That is as sweet as it can get really 😊. It does get a bit easier for me. For my Mum who is still around and may live for another 20 or 30 years it’s a lot harder. Life stops though hey.
Anthony Barwick my father died a couple of weeks ago. He loved this song. Brings tears to my eyes to hear it again.
It's 2022 and I'm getting goosebumps from that chorus drop...
Me too mate 👍
Me2 buddy......in Darwin fkn hot but cold fkn beers........
I love Australia ,I spend there 10 years ,have ,great memories 80 -90 year .I'm 68 now and feel like my time past . That time I came back to Poland where I was born but I have Australia and Bondi Beach in my heart love this music ! memories coming back , Australia ! love ya for all thinks a can remember ! Marcel
Pray for Australia Marceli, just like Poland we are going through a revolution.
Cześć Marcel. Mam 61. To były piękne czasy i piękne piosenki. Serdecznie pozdrawiam. Ania.
1927, one of the best of Australian music. Still listen to them in 2023, what great memories. Thank you.
I used this song as my wedding waltz. Probably the best love song ever.
Must've been hard dancing the waltz in 4/4
I found this by accident - imo, one of the best songs of the 1980s
Great australian band mate
Quite simply the most beautiful song ever written. Such a shame it's not famous all over the world.
tear 1980s in OZ! What a time
One of the most beautifully UNDERRATED LOVE BALLAD....EVER
Nothing underrated about this one - an Australian classic.....
It is and always will be a classic. Beautiful lyrics
First time ever listening to both band and song, excellent! I am from the caribbean, and stumbled upon this video looking for a 1927 historical fact. Best mistake ever. Loved this!
Good story. 👍
I love hearing about the best mistake of your life 💕
Excellent !!!
"Best mistake ever. Loved this!"
I wonder if anyone has listened to the words of this song, Truly meaning full
I do , I use to listen to this when it came out . God Bless
Lol of course.. 😂 what else do we listen to?
This is everything I always wanted to say to my husband, we sing it together every time it comes on
1927 the quintessential iconic Australian rock group.
Of all their greatest hits this was their signature song.
One of the greatest love songs of all time.
Brings back so many great memories of my childhood.
The 80s the best era to grow up as a kid in Australia.
Amen. Cant wait to see them tonight @ Rooty Hill RSL along with Pseudo Echo.
Id give the angels that title but each to their own
mcrgrooves
The Angels Rocked ! R.I.P Doc
MrWeareone777 who's singing
Bavinh Pham dont forget to if Air Supply is Australian too😉
My Nana passed away today, 97 years of age , makes her born in 1927, so that immediately prompted me to listen to this amazing song !!!! 🎵 my mind asking if she is ok.... then a nana gets up and starts dancing in the video clip of this beautiful song ❤️ that's my sign , she is happy and will be dancing in heaven xxx
Quite simply the most beautiful song ever written. Such a shame it's not famous all over the world.
Most decent songs aren't cos absolute crap is instead and will always be. Damn the stupid human race to hell and back even!
was famous here in Argentina :)
It should be as famous as queen
I'm glad that not everyone knows it, so it remains a special song for me ..
Doesn't say much for your taste in music or judgment
This song doesn’t get enough credit, it’s a beauty!!
Can’t believe how old it is, but still one of the greatest!
My mums dad died and my mum's cousin requested this song on the radio in memory of him 💔😢😢
Yeah reminds me when my mum put this on
yep.1927
Yess, i loved these guys from Aust in 1988.
Oohh boy did I have a giant 80s-sized teenage crush on the lead singer of 1927. Absolutely loved this band. So fortunate I was able to see them perform live at the Royal Easter Show one year....SWOOOON.
Had a memory of my dad coming home (in 1988) and showing me this Album he just bought. And then we listened to the whole Album...I miss you my dad (RIP)
I am sorry for your loss. ❤️
Album covers were everything back in the day ! Artwork, photos, memories. Rip to your dad
Criminally underrated song.
The most underrated band Australia has ever produced
I beg 2 differ Dave, Eire car't let u type that Dave. Seem's 2 Myselfan Empire Avacardo's on toast ,Dave, Thated Lazer Seawizz doesn't alway's translat @ le UN, Dave, as such. Persollee Dave, moorre like a Virgin's 1st 3sum wedding sond 2 mee.
A gem of a pop song. The Beatles would have been proud to write this one.
I immigrated to Australia in 90 at age 34....fell in love with their music (lived in Melbourne). This was one of my favorite bands. Never realized how much great music from Ozzie never gets to USA....this is such a beautiful song.
The US think us Aussie's are all backward yobbo bogans that live in grass huts, with no technology or electricity. This is our own music genre, Aussie Pub Rock & all our bands were so underated & never given a chance. Look at Cold Chisel... That's why they wrote the song You Got Nothing I Want & was aimed at America lol
It's all either based on Jamaiacan Music or White Music from The American South though. That or British AOR. That being said although not culturally authentic persay,Oub Rock wad h8gyly distinct and unique in how ot mixed and oricwssed these ideas. I can always tell that I'm listening to Australian Crawl and not Ultravox,Ijahman Levvy,or Lynyrd Skynyrd. I guess the same is true for some Canadian Media. The USA was unique for a British colonial settler state along with The Caribeans (Jamaica,Trinidadian Tobego for instance in that we very clearly so have our own unique cultural traditions. Australia's tend to be more patchwork (same with Canadas) much more directly but it doesn't same Aussie Bands bad by any means and it did have a unique style to it.
Our music is one of our best kept secrets , wrapped up in cotton wool.
Quite simply the most beautiful song ever written. Such a shame it's not famous all over the world.
No clue how I found this amazing band here from Brazil, but I can't stop loving listening to them.
It truly is a beautiful song.
I'm Indonesian living in Canberra. Watched Noiseworks, The Script, Conrad Sewell, RHCP etc. Heard this song coincidentally on 106.3fm....LOVE IT!!! Bought their ticket for May 23 concert in Queanbeyan.....see you there guys...cheers
If you don't get goosebumps from this track you're probably not human.
Or simply a gen Z
miss the 80's so much. growing up in Australia back then seemed much less complicated
haha yeah you can't call anyone gay these days
One of the most underrated Ozzie bands. Great band!!
hey scarleg - so is this ....i think my bands new song is JUST as good - i am the guitar player -plz give a thumbs up if you like it th-cam.com/video/SAXCthbzLBI/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful song. Never gets old. the emotions felt with it, words cannot describe
You are so right it was the very very most underrated Group in Australia History I adore this band. I love 1927
I'm with you they were so underated 5 aria awards in 1988 love Anthony Fed ex lol
Still my favourite song after first hearing it as a 16-year old in 1988. That's more than 30 years. Great songs never get old and stay with you like a warm embrace whenever you need it.
I was 17 when it came out and it is still one of my top 5 songs ever :)
No clue how I found this amazing band here from Brazil, but I can't stop loving listening to them.
Daniel Marques
Enjoy true Aussie magic. Cheers from Australia.
Try "reach out" by Noiseworks, Aussie for life !
Daniel Marques I know the base player billy
I had a massive crush on Bill when I was a teenager.
Belinda Carlisle
This is one of the beautiful songs ever written/performed
I grew up in a small beach side town in Northern New South Wales, Australia. It was an idealistic childhood surrounded by many close friends who all seemed to feel a sense of innocence, the late 80s and early 90s in small town Australia was still a time of great innocence. My friends and I would come together surf, hang out, drink beer and chase the girls we liked.
I remember being 15 and 16 years of age hanging out with my closest friends, walking to the nearest pay phone with guitars and serenading the girls we liked down the phone line singing this song. In this day and age of great cynicism, it may seem very corny and cliched but at that age, in that time, with those people it was nothing short of amazingly memorable. I miss those days!
Australia smashed it in the 80s absolute classic!!
One of the greatest love ballads of all time.
My favourite song in the eighties, and my favourite song today ❤
Back in 1988 I was 23years old now in 2019 I'm 54years old I wish I could turn back the time
If I could turn back time is a Cher song! But yeah, I get what you are saying... I'm 59 in November!
I also was 23 back in 1988 .. where did the time go ? 🤔
Sure we all would like to turn back time. Unless you are 14 years old.
Me too, we are so lucky to have lived in the 80s.
gosh what a time to spend your prime years!! then followed by the glorious 90's. i'm 40 this year so i'm 10 years too young
Went to Australia in 1989 as backpacker and heard 1927 for the first time. Awesome music and still is here in october 2022. 😀😀
No clue how I found this amazing band here from Brazil, but I can't stop loving listening to them.
One of the most underrated Ozzie bands. Great band!!
My sister who passed aways fav song. Loved it then still love it now. What an era💖💖
Was my wedding song back in 2004... our first dance as husband and wife
GCThemeParkGirl: What was your divorce song. 😉
Good foryou mate
@@Justufixion lol u soo bad
wow! i bet its the same as me and my waifu.
Justufixion what the actual fuck
1927, meine Mama ist in diesem Jahr geboren. Wenn ich könnte, ich würde.....danke für den wunderbaren Song.
What an uplifting song to listen to during the hell of separation in 2021
Age 12 when I played this on repeat. Brings back a lot of memories.
Me too. 👍
I like the hazy look of the 1980s. It enhances the warm nostalgia of these songs.
After 31 years I still love this song and video. It just hits me to the core. If you haven't experience loving somebody like this then you haven't live your life yet.
How could anyone who thumbs down this . Real music . God Bless Australia
Hello 👋 Are you interested in making constant income every weekend true Bitcoin trading??
30 years on and still so good to listen to. They don't produce songs like these nowadays. Shame
I love this music, is incredible! 1927 excellent band.and excellent song
I first listened to this song when I was studying in Adelaide back in 2017. Fell in love instantly when it came on Cruise 1323. Now everytime I listen to this, it just takes me back to Adelaide and Australia in general. So many fond memories of that place 🥰
my wife is from adelaide. it's a nice city indeed.
I remember when the lead singer went on Red Faces on Hey, Hey, Its Saturday as an unknown and sang Roxanne. He won and was asked by this band to be their lead singer almost the next day. Rest is history as they say...
+Marcus Would you believe I have been trying to find that Hey Hey clip for years on youtube?! Had anybody ever bothered to record it on VHS back in the day, to post it here all these years later??!
+Marcus
I remember that too.
It would be great to see that footage.
+Marcus You can see the REDFACES clip on heyhey.tv under the menu, Redfaces
+Kizzy Hodge hey, hey. Thanks very much for that, Kizzy.!!
+Marcus Nice find by yourself and Kizzy! Finally!!
Australia kicked ass in the eighties, some of them are still rock in in there old age,rock on boys.
How did I miss this great group in the 1980s? I may be in the States but I knew all of 'Ice House', and his many albums by heart. The one treat is finding them now and its all new to me. I get to find a great band with great songs from the 80's and its all new music to me. 1927 Wow.
It's October 2019, and I'm rediscovering this song, which I used to listen to when I was so much younger than today. Many years have gone by, but the meaning of the song has remained the same. One of the best love songs.
Never get tired of listening, 30 years on & amazing as ever.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Love it.
Peaked at #4 in the charts... goes to show we totally took for granted the awesome music we had in the day
Even after all these years,this song still gives me goosebumps and has the ability to make me shed a tear..Its just so beautiful.
I had a huge giggle to find you on here and then put that song on and lost the plot. . Blubbering like an idiot. . Scotty you are (despite all your fucked up ways! ) beautiful. ..
Oh dear Sammy..
mmmm love the song too mite ask miss wendy if she would like it and put in the list of wedding songs ....
I think Miss Wendypoo would love that suggestion Mark. . When are you guys getn married?
WHAT NEVER
Such an awesome song. I’m an Aussie living in Canada. I’ve told the missus this WILL be our wedding song.
I've always loved this song. It always brings a tear to my eyes.
+TheKrystale Agreed, it's an under-rated Aussie classic
One of the greatest hit song of all time
Our wedding dance song in 1996. Will always be my favourite song from them.

So underrated !!! Love this band!!
When I was a little kid, my sister was in her late teens and always had 80s music playing. I used to tell her it was horrible, that it hurts my ears. Now I'm 35, and this kinda music is all I listen to. Funnily enough, she says to me now what I said to her back then. Funny how our tastes change as we get older. Beautiful song, thanks for the upload.
If I live to be a thousand I will never get tired of hearing 80's music.
hi chantelle.. ....i think my bands new song is JUST as good - i am the guitar player -plz give a thumbs up if you like it th-cam.com/video/SAXCthbzLBI/w-d-xo.html.
true love? keats yeats byron and 1927!
@@TheMichaelseymour errrrrrrrrrr no champ not as good
@@3aeren well...i think it's better ...was only being falsely humble lol
I adore 1927's music. I was 16 when this came out and I believed that this depth of love was out there waiting for me to make it real. I'm 45 and I've never felt this deeply for someone else. I guess now I never will. This song still brings out my inner 16 year old who had hope. Then the song finishes and I file that hope under "It was never meant for me".
Don't give up, it's not too late. I met my guy when he was about 60. Like you, I hadn't experienced depth of love as I had imagined until I met him and I only met him after a twenty year relationship was ending in divorce. I hadn't wanted the marriage to end and I wasn't looking. I still had hopes of salvaging the marriage even though proceedings had been initiated by my then other half. It was coincidence that I met someone new, our meeting was unforgettable and my heart's been with my guy in his 60's ever since. Good luck.
💖
The lyrics to this song is just pure poetry.
Good work bro
This song brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it.... one of the most beautiful, honest to the heart song I've ever known....
Watching this video makes me time travel to simpler times where a lot of our grand parents were growing up in country Australia. Everyone knew one another; weekends were times for spending with family and neighbours; mothers raised children and sowed their own dresses while fathers worked hard, grew vegetables and raised chooks. Holidays like Christmas and Easter weren't commercial back then and had an extra layer of magic and respect.
Ballroom dances with actual bands were common then too. It is here that some of our grand parents, then teenagers, might've awkwardly eyed one another in a different sense for the first time.
Still in love with song so many years on.
No clue how I found this amazing band here from Brazil, but I can't stop loving listening to them.
I've always loved this song. It always brings a tear to my eyes.
This is such a powerful song, so many beautiful words. Can't believe its 34 years old. Missing the 80's.
This is such a beautiful song. This was played at my dads funeral a few years back along with Wish you were here by Pink Floyd and Drive by The Cars. All 3 still bring a tear to my eye whenever I hear them
Been avoiding this song for years cos it always made me tear up.. even when I played it in a band. Beautiful song.
My uncle is currently a touring member of this great Australian band. He got me listening to them....what a great band...what a great song
This was my favourite song for about 3 years straight, after it came out. The beauty of it swept me away.
Didn’t rate the band at the time, but someone dear thought they were the business. So, here I am 30 years or so later enjoying, over and over ... and over. Peace to you all.
I was 14 when this song came out. I had such a big crush on the singer.
Hippies. No seriously, I saw the guys live twice in the eighties and the nineties. One of the best live acts ever. Especially in the small venues. The Lyric in Geelong was freakin amazing.
One of the most beautiful voices in Australian music...

Loved this band as a teenager and I have never forgotten your Great Songs ♥
last month on 20th Arpil this yr l had lost my mum she had passed away at home dead on 12am with my 2 sister 7 my nice l was her son & care she was living with me at times she that she was been in the way and had said no you are not. sometimes i think It's my fault, that l could done it bit better or if made it wors if had something bad to hurt her at times you mite get a bit fustred boy O' do l miss her so , so, much😢 l would play this song & other songs to her. if there wasn't alse on tv. and now she will be in pece with her brothers & sisters she 6 out 0f 7 in her family even now it's gets a bit qruited 🙏
this song came out before i was even born and its one of my favs. i love 1927
i was 18 when i first heard this song-fills my heart with warmth-1927 WERE AN AWESOME BAND!
+tiffany kailis Yep
+tiffany kailis They ARE an awesome band..
tiffany kailis Hey i was 18 too when i first heard it. Now almost 30 years later this song still stirs up mixed emotions inside. People don't make songs like they used to
absolutely-could not agree more
so was I, in 1988. My girlfriend at the time, this was our song and 30 years later I still think of her when I hear it. What happened to the last 30 years? My god, songs like this that were and remain so special only seem like yesterday
Australia really gave the world some of the most wonderful and soul stirring music. Men at work, Midnight oil, Split Enz, Crowded house(tho from New Zealand),1927 etc... And this song is pure poetry.
One of the most poignant love songs from the Aussie 80s. Love it so much, so many good memories
This song means the world to me it was a beautiful message from a dear friend x
Such a great song...I love this song
It's bizzare that they weren't huge in the USA, they love music like this, think of Bryan Adams for just one similar example, and the huge success he has had, and if there ever was a movie theme song, this is right up there with the best of them.
Came across this song by accident love it. I sing to my wife constantly ❤
Aussie bands rock 🇦🇺
Loved it in 88 and love it in 2018.
Who would have guessed 1927 would still be carrying the power ballad batten after all this time.
