i was 9 when i heard this on the radio changed my life forever i learned what house music was ,it was running through my body never knew anything like it before now im 41 and still love this
Nothing compares to the first five or six years of house music. Nothing comes remotely close, it was the absolute zenith of dance music and a time so pure and unadulterated, free of horrible beer sponsors and beefed up wankers giving it large. Everyone was clued up, had choice taste and knew the score. It'll never happen again, that's for sure.
Sometimes I worry about the fact, that there are people who think, they're not fitting the scene because of their age. A lot of very influencing DJs and Producers are above 70 years now. House is universal and House has always been the essence of 70s Funk and Disco.
Song was jamming back in the days for the popular street scene crowds of cruising down the scenes on the beaches and clubs scenes in L.A. and S.F. to NYC to Chicago to San Diego in the 90's just makes me want to go back in time when it was booming.
I'm an 80s chick, and 90s house music was totally awesome in NYC. Does anyone remember Kung Fu in the 80's every Saturday afternoon. It was Soul Train, then Kung Fu. Good times that will never be repeated.
We all know that this beautiful. Song was in the 90's. We got to amid if we had a good. Life back then let's be honest. About the years and people. We lost because they had back. A good life with us..
Same man. I'm 17 and I can't get enough of these 80s/90s house songs. Makes me wanna party in a club in that era, but sadly- I was born way after. At least I can enjoy this shit nowadays, thanks TH-cam.
This jam throws me back to the 80's, me and my fine ass girl friend (now my gorgeous wife) cruzing down Lake Shore Drive on my white convertible Buick Riv playing The Good Life!!!
I'm a 90s baby, but it's beautiful to see the comments of people of older generations reminiscing about their club days to these beautiful tunes. I hope to one day experience a party w/out phones and just genuine human connection. House music has the power to do it. House music for life. 😍😍
Imagine hearing this drop in the club on a good night out. No wonder historians call '88 the second summer of love. Of course it was tough living under Reagan and Thatcher, but at least there was music that made you remember that life isn't all that bad.
I've been at it for 26 years, and Inner City live in DETROIT for Movement/DEMF 2010, Good Life, is still the best moment ever out of thousands of best moments!!!
Oh yeah I remember this song in the Hampton the club was the Neptune's Beach Club Long Island. I asked Cheryl Tiegs for those who don't know she was a Covergirl model went up to her and asked politely would you like to dance we hit the floor dance to the tune and when our separate ways. But this song will live on. In the famous words of Eddie money I want to go back and do it all over.
YEEEAAHH, at 55 IM at the GOOOD LIFE, hope I CAN KEEP GOING at least another good 15. Glad I got to live this great eras............................................................................................
Anything and or everything good in life comes with this vibe, the memories of yesteryear come flooding back in an instance. Peace ✌️ love ❤️ and unity 🤝 to all listening in Nov twenty two 🌞🙏❤️🇬🇧❤️🙏
🤩🥰😍We had Great times. Friday and Saturday Nights LIVE! Even through the social woes of drugs and gun violence in that crack era. This music took you away, if not for kust a little while. BUT WE'D BE TIRED AS HELL by the time the music ended on a extended super mix...1500 hours of non-stop dancing 'cause you can out dance anyone....lol
+David Smith First heard this when I moved to Philadelphia in the late 80s and I could not get enough. I begged the Dj to play it every night I went. Good memories
Always thought it was neat how the old Sega games sampled and were inspired from this great era of House, Pop and other Electronic music. I immediately got Streets of Rage 2 vibes listening to this.
I get a kick out of hearing my 11yr old son, singing along to tracks that he first heard through me as he plays his xbox with a soundtrack made from my collection. Sometimes when he plays something new that I haven't heard, I can hear a sample, a certain riff or something in it, then I'll say to him play that again mate. Then we'll find the original tracks that were sampled in his new discovery and he loves it. I'm 53 now, and when younger, practically lived at The Ministry. I enjoyed dancing onstage for Silver Bullet, Salt n' Pepa, Hijack (on their small UK tour promoting The Horns of Jericho) and Overlord X. I partied and hung with Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot from Curiosity Killed the Cat just as the band broke through, and nearly played a role in their video for Down to Earth. Alas, work commitments decreed otherwise. Had heated dance-offs with Terence Trent-D'arby on the dance-floor at the Wag (gawd, he was as conceited as he was talented and good looking, lol) and watched the filming of Bowies 'Blue Jean' video there. Gotten rotten drunk with Mark Hollis in my local pub at the time, just outside Great Whelnetham called The Eagle, and managed to *not* talk about his band because I'd heard that had pissed him off before when fans plagued him when he's having a quiet pint. Was a sad day not long ago when Mark passed away far too young. Almost suffered the wrath of about 600 black guys outside the entrance to The Academy (Brixton) at a Public Enemy gig in '92 when someone threw a tin of something (like soup) from behind me and my mate. The tin hit a couple of people near the front, one of them suffering a nasty cut on the back of his head. Everyone swivelled round and stared straight at us two thinking it was us. Shitting ourselves we frantically gesticulated that it was from behind us as a surly looking mob of Public Enemy fans headed our way. Did not help that I was 6ft 6inches, slim, pale and white wearing a Troop tracksuit. Thank fuck the security guys on the doors were stood on raised platforms to oversee the crowd and saw what really happened, realised two white guys were blamed and were gonna' get properly turned over, and thankfully put it out on their tanoy system. I used to rave when Ratpack weren't shit, Grooverider and Swan E had just started doing events and parties together and I had an almost out of body experience at Sunrise in '89 because everything aligned and it changed how I viewed music from that night onwards (it was the Sunrise that spawned all that bollocks in The Sun about drug-fuelled teenagers which eventually culminated in the UK Government attempting to make rave culture illegal with a law that banned public performance of music “wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats”). Born in '68, I was fortunate to be a teenager during the 80's, and in my twenties for the 90's. Music back then was different with many youngsters either mods, skinheads, suedeheads, punks, goths, heavies, psychobillies, b-boys, etc. British youth sub-culture was varied and intense. The advent of edm changed everything, along with the necessary advancement of synthesisers becoming available. MTV launched in '87, transforming music through the exciting new medium of video. Hip-hop exploded in the mid-90's and permanently altered the music industry forever. All this experience and damned brilliant times brought with it a vast catalogue of music, of many genres. I'm no expert by anyone's imagination, but being exposed to various styles of music enables me to listen to something new that uses samples from old tracks that were originally from my youth. It's fun and my son and I enjoy finding the original tracks. Good Life was one of those tracks that just 'got' you. Great to dance to and it hit like a bomb, along with the album Paradise.
Man, what a great summary life during a time I wish that I had seen. Sounds like you've lived the life dude and lovely that you can share your music with your boy.
I love this song remind me of the club the powerhouse in Birmingham back in the day you could dance to this everyone I knew loved it and I still do to this day

I had 22 years in 1989 and now I have 53 , still near 54 years in a few months and I arrived to this age, for me its a miracle have arrived to 53, having survived to the plagues from.our time, Aíds, drugs,never I used drugs, never liked me and maybe by this I,m.here and cause god allow it
Omg! Dancing until the mornings in Amsterdam. Preparing with Friends with make up and clothes was just exciting as the night itself. Every friday and saturday night. What a privilege knowing these days with this music. I can die in peace. 😉😊. Sorry for the youth nowadays worldwide. Enjoying yourself with Friends and music is punishable now. Feel so sad for them. Youth is only once in a lifetime and very short. Hope you all have time enough being young in freedom. It is too important.
Tune Who’s listening to this May 2024 🫶❤️
I remember thinking maybe they were saying “get a life, get a life, get a life” lol 😂

i was 9 when i heard this on the radio changed my life forever i learned what house music was ,it was running through my body never knew anything like it before now im 41 and still love this
I use to hit the dance floor at the Mannheim, Germany club in an industrial precinct back in the 90s. Those were the daze 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful era life is brutal now
Life is what you make of it ... but I get you...
Totally agree. I need this music and good energy right about now.
Today Life: Hello *Brendan* I look like some Mortal Kombat situations... *BRUTALITY* 🩸🩸💀 (hahahahaha)
Maybe we should have been more awake back then to stop the government overreach that we're experiencing now
This classic will never grow old.🔊✨💯🏆🤩

We lost because they had back.
A good life with us..
This song also reminds me of the Sega video game Streets of Rage lol
Moon beach was my favourite
I wasn´t even born then and I miss those days.

I was too young and missed it but still wish I witnessed it first hand
I love these comments 💞
So glad the younger generation appreciates real music still! They just don't make them like they used to!

Those parties are out there! All it takes is the collective will of enough people who have a love for music and human connection, and bam, it's there.
If you live in the UK Field Maneuvers does that
Detroit has some excellent clubs playing more modern techno, but have that old warehouse vibe to them. Great atmosphere.
Word !!!!
house is good life
Bruh people would literally run to the dance floor when then this joint came on!!
Takes me back to 88-89
The best fking music ever
Imagine hearing this drop in the club on a good night out. No wonder historians call '88 the second summer of love. Of course it was tough living under Reagan and Thatcher, but at least there was music that made you remember that life isn't all that bad.
we had Erich Honecker
Now the country is falling apart
Not to mention all the coke
This came out in 93

Agreed. This is one of those song that gets me in so many feels!
evolve or get left in the dust that's where it went
