      Sería lindo tener una máquina del tiempo .para viajar a esa época...y nunca más volver a éste siglo XXI , que estamos viviendo un desastre con lo de la globalización , la pandemia y la posible tercera guerra mundial , que puede estallar..y llevarse puesta a toda la humanidad ..!!..ojalá que no..!!
      Y podamos vivir escuchando las canciones de éste grupo y otros . !!
      Hasta el día que el corazón diga basta ..!!..lo único que nuestros cerebros ..llevaremos esa canción y todas , los grupos, y las emociones vividas..!!

      I first heard this song in 1989 on Pirate Radio 100.3 based in Los Angeles. The station tended to play the obscure. Broadcasting ended in 1993. In those 4 short years I bought a lot of unheard of music that one only heard on Pirate.

      Man I remember the first time I heard 'Voices Of Babylon'. I instantly set up my tape recorder and patiently waited to hear it on the radio again. Once I'd captured it I wore that tape deck out rewinding and playing it over and over. I wanted more! Then I heard, 'Your Love', and 'Closer To Me', so bought the 'Play Deep' album on vinyl. I've been a fan ever since.

    I LOVED this song when it came out as the 80s were coming to an end.... it started to chart then just disappeared from airplay. I didn't think about it for YEARS except to think that "Your Love" was overplayed and wishing that the radio stations would play some of the other Outfield songs. I'd honestly forgotten the song's name (never had bought an album) and finally decided to search their discography to find what I'd mentally misplaced. So gratified to hear it again. And it sounds as good as ever.
    No, there will never be a decade like the 80s again. Some folks went on to like 90s and grunge and such. Me, not so much. I became an adult in the 80s and the music of the time brings back the memories like it hasn't been over a third of a century 😮

    Hit the message, I can hear you calling
    No one's going anywhere tonight
    We conceived a modern generation
    It was free but now we pay the price
    We're the victims of our own creation
    Chasing rainbows that are painted black or white
    Watch the struggle of our temptation
    Instincts barely keeping us alive
    Back to the rhythm that we all came from
    Voices of Babylon, streets of London
    Back to the people that we know so well
    Space and time removed too soon to tell
    Just a product of imagination
    Patiently we wait for our turn to come
    A small collection of the population
    By the time our number's up, we could be gone
    Back to the rhythm that we all came from
    Voices of Babylon, streets of London
    Back to the people that we know so well
    Space and time removed too soon to tell
    Back to the rhythm that we all came from
    Voices of Babylon, streets of London
    Back to the people that we know so well
    Space and time removed too soon to tell
    Back to the rhythm that we all came from
    Voices of Babylon, streets of London-town

    I can't believe I forgot this gem... I discovered and loved so many of The Outfield's songs back in the very early 00's when I was in my late teens/early 20's and in the military... I downloaded several of their songs because I always liked "Your Love" which received a lot of radio airplay back in the day, but it's been the better part of 2 decades since I've heard this song... still love it.

      OMG, so sorry. You'll have good days and bad days. My husband of 33 years passed away May 28th 2020 - we had no idea he was sick but went to hospital because of some odd symptoms. Put directly into ICU, they thought Covid (wasn't) it was two kinds of cancer, he'd pretty much lost his voice about 5 days previous so had no way to tell me anything - I knew his innermost feelings but - I needed more! I feel I got cheated because I had to make decisions on my own that I shouldn't have had to make....Almost three years later and I still have odd crying spells, walking into his favorite hardware or grocery store - the # of hours we'd spent there - but so many memories "What do you mean they don't have tenderloin steak!" Funny what things you remember....
      Paperwork never ends.....but I don't regret thoes days we'd spent together; the good and the bad; the learning curve and things you instinctively know without saying a word. You'll get through it but no lie, it's hard, gather friends around you and speak of him in kindness and let friends share their moments. Wishing you healing a and hard up, warmest regards for safe journey.
