This song is so criminally underrated, it's one of the definitive 80's songs ever released. Icehouse should have had a lot more recognition and success then they did.
No, but it's a shame that Australian bands didn't get that much airplay here in the UK. I'm here because I just heard a cover of Street Café. I'd never heard it before, and it's wonderful. At least I get to discover this music now :)
I get sick and tired of youtube commentators saying this, that and the other thing is 'underrated', particularly when speaking of songs like this which were international hits.
I am utterly grateful for the amazing timing my mom and dad had in allowing me to be born into this world... Born in 1965, I had the pleasures of not only being able to enjoy a safe and happy childhood but to live my teenage and young adult years in the 80s, where the best songs this world has to offer were created. Icehouse will live on in my heart forever as one of the greatest 80s bands. Not sure if I’m alone in this, but I feel that the older I get, the more I seem to appreciate the magic of the music written in the 80s . It’s so damn beautiful.
Wow, I never heard this song form Icehouse before until here today 01/29/2021 and it's a very pleasant surprise. I love this song but nearly 35+ years late it seems. :-)
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729 Same here. I just heard it on a Mexican rock station, 2/27/21 and I thought it was something new!!! Either I don't remember it from my 20s or I somehow missed it!!! And I worked at Licorice Pizza Records & Tapes in 84-85!!!
Ich bin am 3.1.1980 Dreizehn Jahre alt geworden und habe meine gesamte Teenager Zeit in den 80 ern gelebt. Es wird kaum überraschen, das ist mit Abstand das beste Jahrzehnt meines Lebens.❤😊
I was lucky enough to be born in 1960 so the 80's music is my memories! I feel so grateful to live through that period, life was great, 20 years old with all the feelings that brings back. Wish I was still there!
I agree totally I was born in ‘64 I loved the 80’s brings back funny feelings I’ve been listening to 80’s stuff all wk. Amazing songs I’ve heard. This is a fantastic song. I wish I could go back and re live my life. I know now I wouldn’t have **cked to up good memories listenin to this ❤️❤️❤️😊💤
You're dead right Sharon, that was my first thought when I heard back in the day. Looking forward to seeing Roxy in Manchester this October for the 50th anniversary
@@stephenrigby7650 @R W The band built up a strong following as a live act around the pub circuit, providing distinctive cover versions of songs by Roxy Music, David Bowie, Lou Reed, T-Rex, Ultravox and Brian Eno. So the influences are there with distinctive melodies!
Same. Was 44 in Feb. Life in the 80’s was a dream in comparison. Yes I didn’t have to work then and do now but the simplicity of life seemed genuinely more enjoyable.
It is one of those songs that touches your soul. Thought it was Bryan Ferry when I first heard it as I love Roxy Musci. Have you heard "Man of Colours"? It is a lovely song.
Japan meets Roxy Music meets Robert Palmer ! Ah who cares its a picture to our memories and for all our friends no longer with us we live with the music of the 80s as a backdrop to your and our lives .It was surly the the last decade of freedom and is ours to remember. ...All hail the 50 pluses 👍
Soooo true Ivan.. 4months into my 50s & my life is in a better place than it was in my 30s.. "Big Homage to the 80's teens.. We were free to be who we wanted to be.." Life is Music 🎵 Music is the Love ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 x 😉 x
I am 53 years old and i remember this from my teen years.. I haven t listened to the song for decades , and I am stunned how great the production is considering the age of the song. Well , I guess , when you grow old you can value in a different way music that you think you know very well from the past. Same goes for many other songs of the era , ( not everything of course).Anyway . great tune , great sound !
When I lived in London in the late 90’s I had a taxi driver all the way from Southgate to London Euston who played this beautiful track on a loop. I’d never heard it before and every time he said sorry should I play anything else I said no keep playing it....since then it’s been a track I keep going back to myself. I love it. I love when random people introduce you good stuff...that’s been a great journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you Icehouse 🥰
Have such a vivid memories of 1983 - 13 years old - parents divorced - struggling to fit in school - finding VHS tapes and music to help cope - this song brings it all back
Was born in 1963 . Great times growing up in the 1970s and 80s . Great music . Time has passed by very quickly . Some old friends have passed away early in life in their 50s . We should make the most of the here and now but it’s so easy to reminisce those times with all these great 1980s music clips on utube
Never heard of Icehouse or this song until today. I grew up in the 80s, when 1990 came we thought it was over. When 2000 came I thought I'd had heard it all. 23 years later I still find something new from this era. Amazing.
Born in the 60's I think we had the best music ever what years we grew up in period. Even my kids now all grown up admitted how jealous of our generation's music.
One of the smoothest voices of the time. Not sure why they weren't bigger here in the US, we ate up those 80's Aussie bands! Midnight Oil, INXS, Hoodoo Gurus.
parfaitement d accord avec vous les années 80 c'était la grande décennie de grands groupes les paroles et la musique ne sont plus les mêmes en2022 😃😃🎸🎸🇲🇫
Totally agree. But its not only expression its the worth. I remember saving to buy LPs and I loved my record collection. It meant more. Nowadays its all downloaded illegally and there is a sense of entitlement that is insatiable. Meaning noone plays albums anymore its all listen to a single twice then onto the next download
Love this group. In the 80's I was part of the security detail when Icehouse visited Nelson New Zealand. Amazing night of music and connection with the audience which I will never forget 😁
Me born in 69. Now 54 80s best time of my life...grew up in belgium..were you were allowed in bars at 15..party party party constantly best group of friends. Best music. A time long gone...but glad I was there. Thank you mom and dad.
I hear this and I get such a poignant burst of nostalgia, it makes me cry. Transports me back to when I was aged 20. Life was brilliant. Weekends were all about dressing up to the ' new romantic' nines for the clubs and Sunday all day discos. I can still feel the exitement of getting ready to go out, no worries in my world, with my whole life and the promise of a fantastic adventure still ahead of me. I never had a broken heart or gave one, still had all my loved ones round me and was the happiest I have ever been. Wish I could go back and live every precious moment of those years again. We who were having the time of our young lives in the eighties were surely the luckiest of all.
Souvenir quand je suis allé chez mon correspondant allemand en 1984 et pour la première fois j’ai entendu cette chanson dans un bar sur un écran géant en version vidéo clip, j’ai adoré ❤❤❤ tout de suite ce titre qui deviendra le tube de l’été 84. Marcel de Dijon Côte-d’Or 21 France 😊
A time in life where we were simple, free, not worn down by the modern world, playing in the streets of N London. It is bittersweet with ups and downs of life in an alchaholic house but you come through.....memories...brilliant song
Cette musique, cette mélodie mélancolique mais rythmée par les synthés et la voix grave et profonde du chanteur font que ce tube des 80´s reste pour toujours dans la mémoire 🖤
This was my favourite song with Icehouse back in the early 80's when I was a kid. I loved this song to death. I get a sound from Bryan Ferry and INXS in this track - what a great track, what a great voice, what great musicians and great music production.
First time i could listen to this fantastic song 1982 on LTU TriStar together with my wonderful Thailady on the way back home from Bangkok to Dùsseldorf Unforgotten Icehouse and my Thaigirl until today
tout a fait d accord imperator120663 toutes les musiques des années 80 sont formidables je suis né 48 et j'écoute toujours de la bonne musique Claude progni
A lot of Aussie bands were very sharp during that period. Mental as Anything, Midnight Oil, Divinyls, Died Pretty, The Church and of course Iva Davies' Icehouse
Haha...born in 53.... I've been there ,seen it all, bought the teashirt...and still loving the music....Never ever lose the thrill of a great Band..Great Choone.....I will spend my eternity dancing
Me too!! Last september I became 50 years old! Drinking cup off koffie Just arround the correner in my favoriete lunch room. And the radio was one. Then suddenly the radio sended me back in a beautyfull periode! I Iove this song!!!
Hey hey, when everything goes wrong Sometimes it makes no sense Hey hey, there once was a time I should have known better then Hey hey, although you may try It won't come your way again Hey little girl, where will you hide Who can you run to now Hey little girl, where will you go Who can you turn to now Hey hey, so why should I care If somebody let you down Hey hey, nnnn, that's nothing new The talk is all over town Hey hey, and it's no surprise Little girls get hurt sometimes Hey little girl, where will you hide Who can you run to now Hey little girl, where will you gooooooo Who can you turn to now Who can you turn to now Hey hey, when everything goes wrong Sometimes it makes no sense Hey hey, hey little girl, should of known better Known better than, hey hey Hey little girl, where will you hide Who can you run to now Nnnn nn nnn Hey little girl, where will you hide Who can you run to now Who can you run to now Hey little girl, little girl, where will you gooo Little girl, who can you turn to now
Born in 66 and to young to watch england win there only world cup , it was made up by living through the 70s , and best of all the 80s , best times ever , gave me my best memories , being at school which i loved , oblivious to anything going on in the world , just getting on with life , the best music and television , so wish i could relive them times and if i had the chance i would take my kids with me to show them how good it was as the world they are being brought into now is full of so many negative things x
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and Iam grateful !!!
Child hood memories💖

Yes, it's a great song

On my favourites .

sorry for your loss :'-(
So so sorry for your loss pal. Life, no matter how sad it might seem ... has to go on. Peace mate.
Sorry for your loss 😢
Sorry for your loss.
Your wife had good taste in music.
Paul, I'm so very for the loss of your wife. It's a wonderful song. Your wife had great taste in music. Take care. X
So many memories of this song. I have to go back to the 80's. Who´s coming with me ?

If like me you're around 60 you too were blessed! We had a great time listening to music like this.
bro im 61 still istening to this music. these bands are now old like us
I am 65 et j'écoute aussi ❤❤

Yes it beats me. Some of the Aussies who have claims to overseas fame!!! However, we love them and they stayed with us.
You obviously aren't Australian then...
No, but it's a shame that Australian bands didn't get that much airplay here in the UK.
I'm here because I just heard a cover of Street Café. I'd never heard it before, and it's wonderful. At least I get to discover this music now :)
I get sick and tired of youtube commentators saying this, that and the other thing is 'underrated', particularly when speaking of songs like this which were international hits.

Understand 100% 🌹
Seriously, my 15 year old introduced this to me 61 years old lol can’t stop the beat inside , it’s a good thing right ??
Japan,Duran Duran,Roxy music all wrapped up in one gorgeous bitter sweet melody
Bit of Bowie in there too .
Nearly 55 and still listening to this great song has a Roxy Music vibe x
You're dead right Sharon, that was my first thought when I heard back in the day. Looking forward to seeing Roxy in Manchester this October for the 50th anniversary
Always seemed like Japan with a Bowie vocal to me. But, yes, definitely Roxy too. Damn, we were so lucky weren't we.

Yep - it reminds be a bit of Kiss & Tell from Bryan Ferry's Bête Noire album. I also loved this when it came out in 1982 (I'm 48).
i am 21 years old but am blessed to have parents who have exposed me to the best music ever, including this song.
80's was the best decade with all those iconic artists and songs. Can't stand some of the crappy songs on radio these days
You are so right. 80s music was fabulous, much better than the garbage being produced nowadays.
I'm 44 and miss the 80's. Total innocence.
Same. Was 44 in Feb.
Life in the 80’s was a dream in comparison.
Yes I didn’t have to work then and do now but the simplicity of life seemed genuinely more enjoyable.
Still brings tears to my eyes after all these years, how I miss the 80's! Genius band! Iva's voice - true poetry ❤

Almost 40 years old, and it's still a "fuck off" song.

Spot on, my 80s co-fanatic. You've nailed it there, Ivan. They'll live forever in our hearts and minds and inner voices...
I don't know why, but for me this song is one of the best representative song of 80s. Good sound, good rythm, exactly in the 80s spirit.
I am agree with you.
The 80s were simply the best
Great play on words indeed they were

Nearly 70 and still a great song.
this is by far one of the best from that era, still brings a tear to my eyes because of a past relationship
long live the golden era of good music - 80´s forever!
Agreed. Some great music from the eighties. This tune from Primitive Man is one of my favorites, besides Street Cafe, and Great Southern Land too.
Yes yes yes !
Oh yes man,say that again...
The 80’s. Best of times in every way.
It will never came a better Time than the 80's

Nice comment Lindi
I understand what you mean, it's a beautiful song, far better than anything put out these days my friend
A fantastic song.
A very underrated song.
One of the best songs of the 80’s
Have such a vivid memories of 1983 - 13 years old - parents divorced - struggling to fit in school - finding VHS tapes and music to help cope - this song brings it all back
I hope life got better for you.
Interesting, that's exactly what happened to me, same age too.
I listened to all this music in my teens-late 70s early 80s. We had NO IDEA how lucky we were to have such great bands pumping out fantastic music.
This was the first song I heared from Icehouse... still one of my total favorite songs from the 80s.
Super smooth vocals. Sounds just like Bryan Ferry.
I love this song, very haunting melody, it reminds me of when I was eighteen and out on a first date. I'm fifty nine now.
That's so sweet Mandy. Bless you.
I'm 50 today, this one is still one my favourite!
Happy Birthday. Isn't it great you were around when these songs came out. I feel sorry for the youth of today and their bad music.

DAVID BOWIE ONCE Described his voice as a liquid gold ,

He sounded a bit like Bowie and before I knew better I thought No Promises was a Bowie song.
NOT David Bowie, Is Iva Davies.
I agree!...
Iva - you are da man

This song is burnt in in my heart forever
What a tune from1982. 44 years old now.still sounds great.
Icehouse lead the way from down under in the eighties up there with the uk and the USA eighties hits.
Came to listen to this today. It's as beautiful now as it was then! Reminds me of Roxy Music. LOVE IT.
Still a golden hit in 2023 for me ! An eternal great song !
True 🤝
Love the ice-cold sound of early 80s synth pop!
Wasn't it just amazing?!
True music.
Just it.

Takes me back into the early eighties when music was so expressive and understandable, alas not like now. Anybody agree ?
Totally agree. But its not only expression its the worth. I remember saving to buy LPs and I loved my record collection. It meant more. Nowadays its all downloaded illegally and there is a sense of entitlement that is insatiable. Meaning noone plays albums anymore its all listen to a single twice then onto the next download
Yo
agree gr mark
Cant agree more! Today’s music is sole less.
yes todays music is soleless indeed. agree whit it..gr. mark
I still have the album, Primitive Man, in mint condition.
Really love the haunting melodies from the 80s.
I’ve got the 12” single,nearly 40 yrs old now...!!
Me too 😁
Mint condition? You didn't play it enough!
dragonmartijn 🤣 vinyl is mint, the cover is sad to say a bit worse for wear!
that's just it, they are haunting!
2022 still sounds as good as it did when I first heard it back in the 80's! Hey little girl, where has the time gone?
Indeed, where has the time gone for us all.......
très bien dit nous sommes en novembre 2022 cette chanson napas perdu une ride grand groupe superbe musique
Love this group. In the 80's I was part of the security detail when Icehouse visited Nelson New Zealand. Amazing night of music and connection with the audience which I will never forget 😁
Epic! :)
Greetings from Germany!
Just love this song. When i first hear it i was convinced it was Brian ferry Roxy Music i so can imagine him singing this. Or was that just me.
Same for me, thought it was Bryan ferry ...ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS and Roxy Music/ Ferry stuff too....!!!
Absolutely. Could easily be a Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry track. 🙂
My thoughts exactly!!
I thought for a long time it was Bryan Ferry too.
I know what you mean, this has Ferry written all over it, and in my opinion would have made it even better - and thats saying something.
Sublime, sad, and pure. One of the best songs from that era.
Im 74, I discovered them by buying Primitive Man in the 1980s in Jackson
Wyoming. Glad I did.
Ich hatte das Glück, die 70 und 80 Jahre erleben zu dürfen. Für uns Jugendliche einer der besten Jahre, die immer im Gedächtnis bleiben.
Me born in 69.
Now 54
80s best time of my life...grew up in belgium..were you were allowed in bars at 15..party party party constantly best group of friends.
Best music.
A time long gone...but glad I was there.

Felt so great in those days! 15 in 1982 and Icehouse on the radio all day long. How I miss those days!! Everything seemed possible ! Long gone days .
i heard it age 10, affected me deeply, 49 now, still affected.. just shows time is NOT linear
Just found this song in 2020 I absolutely can't stop playing it
You have great taste in music, 🎶 🎶
brought it on 7"" the day it came out lol- still got it
I wish youtube was sometimes more 'social media friendly' make friends who can share music taste. Better than this current crap
80s are the best music ever💜💛
Keep enjoying it, I have been for nearly 40 years.....
1983. I was 17. Fond memories of this song. What a time to be young. Miss you Cath.❤
Amazing song, beautiful photography...
This was one of my favorite songs by Icehouse ❤
Mine too. A single released between the first and second albums. Still have it somewhere.
True 80's gold
I'm 60 now if I could go back in time definitely 70s and 80s they were the best and still played now
I was Born 1963 all the Musical in the 80s aretimeless!!I hear IT every Day when i have the time!I love the music!!
tout a fait d accord imperator120663 toutes les musiques des années 80 sont formidables je suis né 48 et j'écoute toujours de la bonne musique Claude progni
Aussies provided lot of musically blessed bands during the 80's
Nowere near as many as the brits
A lot of Aussie bands were very sharp during that period. Mental as Anything, Midnight Oil, Divinyls, Died Pretty, The Church and of course Iva Davies' Icehouse
@@terrythekittieful : Yes terrythekittie 😉
@Gabriel Saviank crowded house neil finn is from new zealand
Almost as much as the Brits
For those with a musical ear, those change of keys are simply the best … right ?
Haha...born in 53.... I've been there ,seen it all, bought the teashirt...and still loving the music....Never ever lose the thrill of a great Band..Great Choone.....I will spend my eternity dancing
Take your place Icehouse in the 80's Hall of Fame - you guys utterly deserve it! TIMELESS CLASSIC..🥰
Without a Doubt....

Hey hey, when everything goes wrong
Sometimes it makes no sense
Hey hey, there once was a time
I should have known better then
Hey hey, although you may try
It won't come your way again
Hey little girl, where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl, where will you go
Who can you turn to now
Hey hey, so why should I care
If somebody let you down
Hey hey, nnnn, that's nothing new
The talk is all over town
Hey hey, and it's no surprise
Little girls get hurt sometimes
Hey little girl, where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl, where will you gooooooo
Who can you turn to now
Who can you turn to now
Hey hey, when everything goes wrong
Sometimes it makes no sense
Hey hey, hey little girl, should of known better
Known better than, hey hey
Hey little girl, where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Nnnn nn nnn
Hey little girl, where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl, little girl, where will you gooo
Little girl, who can you turn to now
Perfect beautiful song and voice ❤

Born in 66 and to young to watch england win there only world cup , it was made up by living through the 70s , and best of all the 80s , best times ever , gave me my best memories , being at school which i loved , oblivious to anything going on in the world , just getting on with life , the best music and television , so wish i could relive them times and if i had the chance i would take my kids with me to show them how good it was as the world they are being brought into now is full of so many negative things x
