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.
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.
"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. 💙
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
Yes lovely I can go back in time and remember exactly where I was when I first heard this, I’m 70 now and just wish I could go back to those days when everyday was so new and beautiful
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.
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.
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!👍
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!
No me importaría volver Alós maravillosos años 80,aparte por ser mucho más joven en lo musical la Mejor década sin duda alguna melodías todas ellas hermosas lo bueno perdura en el tiempo 💪🇪🇦
Seen them in the philharmonic a couple of months ago brilliant brought all the memories back if your in your in the late fifties miss the eighties so much
I love this hit even if i don't know what was wishful thinking mean,😊I was in 2nd year high school that time and it turns back my memories of the 80's.🙂
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 mother used to sing this making tea great times ,,😢
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!

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.
New wave on 80's, time flies so fast,just like yesterday
This is just brilliant. China Crisis is one of my favourite bands, along with Prefab Sprout, Aztec Camera, Hothouse Flowers, and Fra Lippo Lippi
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🙌
🥹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. 😮❤
"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. 💙
1983 - a great year...-with this great song
Love this song very much
Love these song, bring me back to my happiest youngerdays
ONE OF MY FAVE SONG IN MY YOUNGER DAYS 😅!!
I've been listening this song since I was 16 and not at 56, still timeless and beautiful to enjoy.
I sat on the roof, and watched the day go by , wonderful
My childhood in a song. Fell asleep to this many a night.
My all time favourite song, nice cover version
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
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....
Brilliant version of this true classic song in such a beautiful setting
When music was at its best so miss the 80s. Hopefully one day I could go back and stay there forever 🙏
TH-cam is our time machine. Mainstream sucks now. I agree.
That’s why most of us are here… wishful thinking.
@@EdBMetal Yes.
Wonderful... love this song 😍😍
What a great gentle band! Brilliant music from a great band and a great time in my life...
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.

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.
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
60 soon Margaret and a fellow Scouser. Great band China Crisis. So many great memories of their music. We have a lot to be proud of. 👍💪
