Great song ...takes me back to such happier times 💗....when mum and dad were still with us and we all knew how to have fun 💜
I remember, when one of my classmates borrowed me the CD "Flaunted Imperfection".Man I loved their New Wave sound flavored with some jazzy hooks embedded in a certain melancholy.
Yes. I miss mum and dad terribly.❤
1984! A simple life - nothing complicated!
My brother's fave song from the 80s. He passed on 2 years ago. If I close my eyes, I can still see him dancing to this. 😥
Beautiful memories never let them go x
I’m so sorry ❤😢
So much beautiful words ❤
God Bless Him...We'll all be dancing again with him one day
🥲
No can replace new wave 80s and 90s song in my heart.❤❤❤
New Wave has grown old ...
but this gem sounds as good today as it did in 1984!
Great performance guys!
One of my favourite ever songs, truly a masterpiece ❤😊❤
This is just brilliant. China Crisis is one of my favourite bands, along with Prefab Sprout, Aztec Camera, Hothouse Flowers, and Fra Lippo Lippi
Timeless classic song
Love this song bless you 🙏🩷🎆🎆🎆happy memories
Makes me emotional . 😢
Mum and Dad were alive and Dad used to play so much music . Love this thank you .
Bless mum and dad there still with you 😊
Bless your parents....and you still got the memories.😊❤
New wave on 80's, time flies so fast,just like yesterday
1983 . 20! years old. Loved the song then and now. Life was in front of me. And now. All too easy to look back. Always look forward!
Same…and same🙌
Love this song, the old ones are doing all right!!
YEAH BABY!
Love these song, bring me back to my happiest youngerdays
🥹Thank You😍😘🥰Why I Suddenly Became So Emotional Hearing My 80’s Songs.
You're not alone. 😊 Those 80s songs brought back bittersweet memories of yesteryears. ❤️😊👏 I love them anyway. 😮❤
From Spain...someone in his mid 50s...thank you for such a wonderful, sensitive, touching, soft yet powerful masterpiece...music that touches your soul, 40 years ago and right now...Gracias.
My all time favourite song, nice cover version
ONE OF MY FAVE SONG IN MY YOUNGER DAYS 😅!!
They don’t make pop songs like this anymore 😢
And also mainstream isn't like this anymore. BTW don't be sad anymore. TH-camr is our time machine. I do agree tho. I also hate today's crap.
P.S. The glory years of mainstream music of all genres (rap included) are from January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1970 to December 31, 2003. January 1, 2004 - present mainstream music is trash. Heck, even '50s and '60s music is also better than today's crap. Again, I agree with your comment.
Thanks, girl. Retro 4 life, girl.
#RETRO4LIFE
So true😢😢
@@maussie76 You spelled true wrong.
Mainstream sure isn't what it used to be. Everything is trash now. I'm glad I grew up listening to real tunes back in the day....
Indeed it is. Mainstream is garbage now. I'm glad I grew up with retro music of all genres - rap included - back in the day.
My childhood in a song. Fell asleep to this many a night.
I sat on the roof, and watched the day go by , wonderful
"I sat on the roof... and watched the day go by. I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands -- makes it all worthwhile."
Evocative lyrics, eternally beautiful song. 💙
I just discovered this gem of a song! I lived through the 80’s never heard this in Australia!
THIS IS A VERY FAMOUS SONG IN SRI LANKA WHERE ENGLISH IS THE SECOND LANGUAGE. SOUL ASYLUM.... TRY LISTENING TO PROMISES BROKEN....
Love this song very much
I've been listening this song since I was 16 and not at 56, still timeless and beautiful to enjoy.
A stunningly beautiful & timeless song but sadly the voices have long gone. Thanks for the memories.👍
Saw them last week. Voices are in good shape… I would say a bad cold / throat on this occasion
You sing from your soul which makes all your songs beautiful😊
Simply amazing. I love the analogues.
I'm 60 and from Liverpool, not far from Kirkby, where these lads are from. I Loved ❤ China Crisis, and i adored this song.
cook 'da'book's and afraid of mice.... kirkby southdene for me....lo now in BC Canada
One of my best new wave favorite song❤

One of my fav.songs.during 80's
They’re looks now old ..but that song is one of the most powerfull song of 80’s that delights my high school days ..oh my…😊
beautiful song of true new wave. Full of delicate and harmonious sounds. Excellent performance👍💪💯
40 years old and still as magical as the day it was released. As this was filmed in Shrewsbury Abbey at least I can also say that I’ve sang there, used to head choir boy in 1973.
One of my fav nu wave songs. NU Wave never fades.. China Crisis you Rock 🤘
I don't know if you remember me. The girl who was living in Holland where you had a concert. You called me "Tropical Surprise" when I went to say Hello after the concert. Amazing to see you playing great music...Greetings from Peru!
Awww arent they adorable🥰 isnt it just cute theyre still doin justice to that iconic anthem❤❤
After more than 40 years, their music remains great, though their voices here sound like what we all are now - old and tired.
Yes, time robs us of our youth, but that shouldn't stop us from feeling happy for all these great music that colored the most fabulous decade ever of our young lives.
Nadie es viejo por la edad.
Might be a lot older but still sounds brilliant well done guys
Old there not even 70 yet .

Great Song so Mellow just timeless - takes me back to younger days laying out on Sunny Afternoons in Hyde Park listening to the Radio with my then Girlfriend - memories Bliss we thought these warm afternoons would last forever but time never stands still
@@Jolo25387 whereabouts in Hyde Park?
Couldn't have been Speaker's Corner! Nor the Serpentine! Nor where us locals played rich arabs at football, lovely guys! They'd wear handmade suits, crocodile skin shoes & use the jackets for goalposts then buy us beers at Tyburn boozer. (Wasn't called the Tyburn Tree in those days I just can't remember what it was called) Great days!👍
Love Reading about people's musical memories and there connections .....
Quality..these boys are the nuts ❤
So glad that we're all still here for this. ❤
