Why can’t we have the 80s back?!? Greatest time to be alive. Movies, music, fashion and just the feeling!! I feel bad for the millennials that only know gloom, doom,victimhood, over hyped politics… back then nobody had a cell phones, laptops, 500 channels, Uber eats, or Taylor Swift and it was GLORIOUS!!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself. People nowadays will never know what we had back then. Take this for example. A song that had so much meaning to it. In today’s atmosphere there is sadly no room for such quality.
I cut my teeth on music in the 80s. But, I spent my teenage years in the 90s. They weren't so bad. And we still had great music. Fashion was a bit more simple. But, hey, we can't have it all.
@@megalon73 I was like 😳 then I was like 🤣 that's not me! I would have said it but tbh it puts twilight all to shame! I say this as a genXr who read about sparking vampires 🙄 I had to know about Bella's truck 👌 best part of the story (don't bother it's a classic she hates)
I agree with u the sound track was amazing as well an made the movie that more special in my opinion. But by far one of the best Vampire movies in history. I like how they redid it to sound up to date with the music that's gets puts out nowadays still one of the best songs ever. An I'm speaking from a musical stand point. This song hits your heart, body an soul some type of way that gives u goosebumps. What an amazing remake
@@megalorain Well, I would say this movie is the best um…I do I say? “Best Vampire movie that’s not base on the Book” cause it was an amazing Teen Vampire movie as well.
@@megalon73 I agree with u but when u listen to this song it hits ur body a certain way. This song is so amazing it hits your heart, soul an Mind all at once to give u Goosebumps
I was 12 summer 2001 me, and my dad spent night watching films and I was introduced to motorcycling punk vampire's as a lover of punk and vampire's this was so cool to me
37 years has to be a Guinness world record for longest gap between release of single and music video. I can't believe this guy sounds so on-point. Long overdue. Incredible.
@@MrMiike83 I hope this is sarcasm. 'Cause they certainly did have blue/greenscreen back in the '80s. And frankly, this video looks almost exactly like a low-budget, low-effort music video from back then.
I'm from Santa Cruz California. I watched this movie being filmed at the Boardwalk. It was an amazing time in my life. This movie is an icon, a legend. I do not see the new release being as memorable. There were too many awesome actors in the original.
You have got to like it when great musicians and songwriters who wrote songs that are popular and well remembered from years past show the world that they still got by outdoing themselves many years later. Well done Mr. Mac.
I must admit that when I see this song presented in this format, it enhances its mystical, etherical, and sensuous qualities. Truly timeless even after almost 40 years.
I'm so excited. I was just an executive producer (and actress) in new horror film "Pig Killer." (About Canada's most prolific serial killer, who fed his victims to the pigs on his farm! Played brilliantly by Jake Busey.) Anyway, G Tom Mac scored our film and it REALLY made it extra!! He's so talented and just a gem of a soul, in person! We were so blessed to have him do our music! And he appears in the film too!
G Tom Mac has made so written so many epic songs. This one however since I was around for the movie as well I think it’s his best work. Thank you G Tom❤
I saw this movie back in 1987 when it first came out. This video brought back a lot of great memories. This was one of my favorite vampire films of all time. I was a teenager during the '80s. Great times. Thanks for posting this.
@@makeouthill4822 I totally hear you. Although I'm a generation xer that remembers the 80s very well, I'm nostalgic for eras that came before mine. What's great about the 21st century is that all of these great songs from my time are available in one format or another so that the present generations and future generations can enjoy them.
Best vampire movie ever made. The time, music, and cast made it a remarkable true legend. Unfortunately, without the whole cast (Cory Haim rip), any and all successors will fail in comparison.
i literallt wathed lost boy every day when i was a kid because it was one of few VHS's we owned at the time. This is literally the song of my childhood.
I was a teen when LB came out and now my granddaughter loves it too. This song set this entire movie. There would be no lost boys without this song to backl it up
Movie really was an example of everything coming together. Music, wardrobe, cast. You're right, any of those fail and it's not quite the classic it is.
Hey, Manson's was incredible. Don't knock him at all. Of course, we come back to the original from time to time but you can't say Brian Werner didn't knock it out of the park
The most haunting song ever recorded. It’s in every vampires blood 🩸! Great movie and song and great vampires! This song brings out the vampire in us all ! ❤❤
Keeping it classic I love it!! Man as old as he is still sounds like the 80s to me. One of the greatest Vampire movies of my time and one of the best soundtracks!
Better than Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula or Neil Jordan's Interview With The Vampire? Or Tony Scott's The Hungar? I don't know about all that, but Lost Boys is top tier anyhow.
From a Canadian child of the 80's I'm comforted that you still have that powerful voice, and hopefully are still milking this for all you can. It's a powerful cultural icon of our youth. But you should have done more with all that talent.
I just had a 30 year flashback. CLASSIC. LOST BOYS OLD SCHOOL. Krayzie Bone did a jam to this which was 🔥. "Hold on to your soul" These kids just don't know how HARD the 90s was. Real Talk
Wow, a flood of memories. Fist I loved this song and the movie. My baby sister was locked up on suicide watch after going through some really bad trauma at her young age. I wore out the cassette tape of the Lost Boys movie soundtrack. I really missed her during that time.
Love the video still a classic I can imagine how the video in the 80s would've came out if they would've did an original video probably would've been like this and the difference would've been is that he's younger all these years and now an official music video
After all this time, this iconic track gets a vid and remastered. Was always one of my favourite songs off the soundtrack as well. Oh well "Lestat" night as the other vampire series is on the telly at the minute...vampires never lose their appeal or get older do they?.
I love that, even though this is a new recording and the video just came out a couple years ago the video, all the effects and images and styling still looks like something we would've seen in the 80's,
Oh wow! Almost a year late to the day to find out that G Tom Mac finally got to make his music video for one of my favorite songs as a kid. Well done, G!

Amen brother. Gen-X all the way
I lived thru the 80s as a teenager. Definitely some of the best times of my life. Best music, best movies
Absolutely LEGENDARY. I am an 80 boy and that was the best time ever.
I'm a 4,000-year-old dragon in the body of an 8-year-old, and I love this, too!
Greatest Vampire movie of all time
That Title and Honor belongs to, Dracula (1931).

Facts me too😂
Great movie and soundtrack! One thing though, is this song about wincest? Think about it
Listen to the Chvrches remake... It is truly staggering, the power in her voice.
37 years has to be a Guinness world record for longest gap between release of single and music video. I can't believe this guy sounds so on-point.
Long overdue. Incredible.
Elton John did it as well a couple years ago with his older stuff
That’s what I was thinking well said!!!
He did a video for this song a while back but it was for a remix, it was mix of this original and a techno. it was on the Lost Boys DVD
They just didn't have the technology back in the day

Truth
This and Lunatic Frindge
The entire soundtrack was amazing...I still have it on cassette
One of the best movie intros ever.
What the!???
This guy's musicality is WAAAAAY AHEAD of his time!! 😮
RESPECT!!!
This guys voice, like this song is literally immortal
I stiil would've loved this song even if the movie wasn't made. However, I'm glad they are both in this lifetime.
After all these years, this song STILL gives me the chills! One of the best songs from one of if not THE best vampire movies of all time! Love it!
Love that they made a completely new recording for this. Still sounds amazing.
You have got to like it when great musicians and songwriters who wrote songs that are popular and well remembered from years past show the world that they still got by outdoing themselves many years later. Well done Mr. Mac.
This song and the movie are certified masterpieces.
saddest thing in the world but warner brothers dropped the ball on this song. Most people don't know but this song never made the charts at all.
fricking criminal, did not know that, what a travesty.
I thought this song was about evil rituals against children .
Idk why this song was the bomb 💣
Could it now? Cause I'd think so, and it definitely should!!!
I know! How crazy is that! This should be an 80’s anthem! Such a cool song!
Lost boys arguably the greatest movie soundtrack ever
Dude's voice isn't showing any age. Love this song
It's just remastered, not re-recorded. Dude probably sounds like Yoda by now. 🤣
@@ariescustom lol no that's definitely rerecorded. Not nearly as well performed as the original.
@@bustercherry8734 LOL NO ROFL
He's syncing to the song, love it nonetheless.
@@bustercherry8734i cant believe anyone thinks this is better its awful compared to first version

After all these years it still gives me the chills.
The only song that has ever done that.
Im 41 est 1982 this is by far one of the best vampire movies of all time..
The 70's and the 80's were the best time to be young. No digital world. Everything was genuine. I miss it so much.
I have a home theater system in my bedroom and I turn this song on and have it on repeat all night and I hear it in my dreams, it never gets old!
An excellent song for an exceptional movie.
Amen
Epic wasn’t it 🖤❤️🔥🖤
Best vampire movie ever made. The time, music, and cast made it a remarkable true legend. Unfortunately, without the whole cast (Cory Haim rip), any and all successors will fail in comparison.
"successors" ... But yeah, I hear you.
The lost boys hands down a timeless classic and the song is anthemic
I love the lost boys and this music. It´s a MASTERPIECE.

Saw the movie opening day. Just got the 4K disc a couple weeks ago. It’s a stunner. Made me fall in love with the film all over again.
🧛♂️🖤Glad to see "Nanook" appearance 🖤🧛♂️
I like this version better than the one that has been implanted in my head for 30+ years
Gosh! I love this song since 1987!
Wow his re- recording of this.... sounds better than his 87 version
He definitely nailed it. Again.
I hopr youre joking. Original wayyy better
Most of my childhood and teen was taken from me. But vampire movies are my favorite thanks to my mom. This helped me
still did it better than 99.9% of everybody who tried to replicate this song
The other 0.1% was done by Chvrches for the Netflix - Nightbooks soundtrack... Her vocals are absolutely on par - or better.
All remakes pale in comparison. The sheer power and impact of this masterpiece!
Yeah thank you might have to do with the fact that I wrote this song & sang the original!
Hey, Manson's was incredible. Don't knock him at all. Of course, we come back to the original from time to time but you can't say Brian Werner didn't knock it out of the park
The most haunting song ever recorded. It’s in every vampires blood 🩸! Great movie and song and great vampires! This song brings out the vampire in us all ! ❤❤
This video is absolutely amazing it's so gothic I love it so much
Just needs the lost boys themselves flying in! Love this movie and song 💜
Of course not aged at all.....because vampires don't age!
Everytime having a drunken madden and rock out night, listen to this multiple times.
😮This song has been saved in my brain files since the earliest of the 90s.😢
This song is fantastic. The Lost Boys is an amazing movie. My 2nd favorite Vampire movie.
What's you rfirst?
Keeping it classic I love it!! Man as old as he is still sounds like the 80s to me. One of the greatest Vampire movies of my time and one of the best soundtracks!
When I hear this song I turn into a vampire!! In my mind lol love it
Time has run so fast. When i Seen this movie...i was just a kid 😢😢😢this version IS Amazing...
I literally watched the film right before this video was published, the song has stuck with me the entire night.
This song will stick with you for life
Greatest vampire movie of all time.🖤
Better than Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula or Neil Jordan's Interview With The Vampire? Or Tony Scott's The Hungar?
I don't know about all that, but Lost Boys is top tier anyhow.
I can name about 10 that are better. Have you ever heard of Interview with the Vampire?
Fright Night...

Was, is and always will be my favourite film and soundtrack ever🥰❤
I have not heard a better soundtrack in my life.
Bravo.
This song is amazing!! Haven't heard it since the first time watching The Lost Boys.
The three greatest vampire movies of all time
Dracula (1931)
Salem's Lot (1979)
The Lost Boys (1987)
Almost effortlessly he made a masterpiece out of nowhere🦇
I still see the original at the beginning of October
What a great song, this version sounds incredible!
Still hitting and HOLDING those notes! Absolutely awesome!
I never saw this before, and I grew up seeing lost boys when it came out.
Wow, a flood of memories. Fist I loved this song and the movie. My baby sister was locked up on suicide watch after going through some really bad trauma at her young age. I wore out the cassette tape of the Lost Boys movie soundtrack. I really missed her during that time.
Wowwwwwww - I hope she’s ok now
@@wugirl55 Her and her wife are happily married over ten years now n have four beautiful kid's together. She's the strongest person I know.
Absolute classic. Love the sound and the movie.

I can’t stop watching this❤😊
I get goosebumps listening to this song
This is so random that they made a music video for this, yet it’s incredible

Ozzy has the perfect voice for this. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Yesssss this song is the reason I even watch movie.... finally a video 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I’m not going to overthink it. This song and movie were a perfect match.
Que lindo sería escuchar esta canción en vivo en un recital. No me cansa, es extraordinaria
This is the only song I never tire of hearing. I play it weekly. Just something so perfect about it. 🖤💀🖤
Sounds like something Ozzy would sing? All these years gone by n I never knew who sang this? Awesome voice...
