Lol! I haven't heard this one in ages, but I was just in the grocery store and above the usual din I made out those first two notes and instantly knew what it was.
Just saw them last night, 11/9/2023, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Universal Orlando. They were AWESOME. They played Stand or Fall third. Final song was Saved By Zero. They still got it!
It's about the cold War. Now because of the US and anti democracy idiots here we are again. Now China has entered the ring. This is a disgrace to our families that fought for freedom.
This song describes today's time more than it did the eighties! Crying parents tell their children If you survive, don't do as we did A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to Her daughter says she'll be dead with you While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten Line morale has hit rock bottom Dying embers stand forgotten Talks of peace were being trodden Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight Is this the value of our existence Should we proclaim with such persistence Our destiny relies on conscience Red or blue, what's the difference Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre An empty face reflects extinction Ugly scars divide the nation Desecrate the population There will be no exultation Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall
@@professorsasha9100 Has it occurred to you that those preppy boys, as you call them, are the ones calling the shots in most Western countries today? What would you prefer? Communism? Globalism? Or do you just like trying to look like someone who knows all the answers, but won't tell... instead, just handing sh*t on bands that created iconic music?
Simply unbelievable - beautiful, profound, and incredibly prophetic as the song and video may well be even more relevant to the world today than in 1983.
I saw The Fixx last night at the Newton theater in NJ and they still sound great and are entertaining! Cy still spreading his peaceful messages of love and hope. 🕊🏳 Still relevant in these times.
1986 for me. .It was all about music back then and it was great music. We walked the neighborhoods with our boom boxes rocking out with no complaints ever!
Myself as well. I was 19 in 82'. A Canadian kid with sooo many UK relatives over here and over there. At the klubs as a 19 year old then, this song as well as "its my life" were the only songs that made me sit, sit only, and think and ponder, forget about me vs girls and 3 a.m. for that night.
A song that makes me feel both excited and melancholy at the same time. Excited because it instantly takes me back to late ‘82 - early ‘83, which was an insanely great time for pop music. Melancholy, because it was never this good again.
@@christinahicks-goldston4274 The most intelligent and forward thinking authors, song writers, and movie directors all pretty much knew where we were heading by the early 80's.
This song takes me back to the Fall of '82 I was 18 and driving to my girlfriend's (at that time) house and they were playing this on the radio on 93.3 WMMR. I lived in Marlton,NJ and she was from Voorhees,NJ which is a neighboring township. Every time i hear this, I'm back in my '78 Ford Fairmont Futura driving down the road to meet her. That's the Power of Music!!
I went to Burlington County College in Pemberton from 82' to 83' and that was right around the corner. My oldest brother was stationed at Dix around the same time you were there. Where were you from originally?
I fucking LOVED the Fixx. Thought they'd have the staying power of a U2, but to no avail. Great songwriting and expression. If anyone asks why you think yesterday's music is so much better, direct them to this video!
Odd. Billy states something that makes 100% sense, kiwiyank(mix of NZ & USA commonwealth)states they live in you(you=We, as they do)then tops it off with "Fool", "Fool"is the point where the argument started. kiwiyank(mix of NZ & USA commonwealth)is Incorrect.
In 1983 I got a Sony Walkman and this is the second song I heard on it. The first one was Thomas Dolby “Blinded Me With Science.” I was 12 years old. Today I turned 50 years old.
It is a great song I had a favorite for sure and an underrated early eighties great New Wave anthem, that haven't been said I'm 60 at a professional musician and I was a professional model in the 80s as well and had my time then which was fantastic and I would love to go back "there" and my grandchildren in their twenties echo the desire to go visit it since they missed it, I knew we had a good then but now living in 2025 I know we had it better in many uncountable ways, also the Cold war was nothing ever to fear because neither side ever wanted to end existence by pressing the proverbial button so that was never never a danger and was propaganda and a bunch of trendy media hype monger panic then capitalize on it to drive sales as always, and nothing has changed and has only gotten worse in that regard to be sure 💯👈..
Yes, and it also deserves more Likes than it gets from the views it's already had. But would you believe that the # of Likes being more than 1% of all the views, as this one has, is very rare on TH-cam? Look at any other great songs on YT, incl Zeppelin, and you'll see what I mean.

Monster Zero GTF out of here with that. You obvs know nothing about this band. If you think the Republican Party cares about the people your sadly mistaken.
The strange thing about living as a young person during the cold war is that we had a vague sense that it could all end at any minute. This gave life a certain meaning and urgency that seems to be missing today. Young people today don't have that anymore...even though technically, the risk of a sudden apocalypse still exists.
Every time I see a contrail, hear a low-flying jet, or hear an EBS test on the radio, I freeze, for just a second, and wonder whether this is the nuclear attack. After so many years living during the Cold War, it's just ingrained.
I think MTV were already stupid by this time and I think they messed up the beauty of the Fixx's songs with insipid videos. Their songs (the Fixx's songs) were strong enough on their own without dumb videos to accompany them.
yea,and the good music was easily found on any decent radio station,and there was no fear of someone not liking the song and having it taken off the airwaves
Each song by The Fixx has to get millions of views. But... Only a small intelligent audience pays attention to the creative legacy of the band. Insulting!
We were the lucky ones, we didn’t have cell phones and actually enjoyed socializing in person and dancing to the best songs , this was the best era of all, thanks god for letting me live during the 80’s!
Back to a time that's lost, but never forgotten. Only reason to pay homage to you tube. To be able to travel back in time and capture it with 3 or 4 minute videos. This ability has really gotten me through tough times in my life.
Namely,for Me worry when it comes to things like My situation,which for personal reasons to protect My privacy I won't discuss.And it's music that helps Me deal with worry.John M Guinto
I was 14 when this tune came out/childhood Cold War lulliby/thanks To our friends in The United Kingdom for the second music invasion in the 80's. Hi to all my Gen X people.
I watched this on MTV on rotation back in 1982-83!! Iwas in 5 & 6th grade living "in the hood!!" I was so different from my peers. I was glued to MTV, and I LOVED THIS SONGand Red Skies!!! I was going through a hard time at home and it gave me hope and an ultimatum!! I decided to "STAND"!!! SO GRATEFUL for these memories that defined my youth. 💯🔥✨️
Ken, I was created in 1963(to west coast hippy parents)so did the 1967 onwards music thing. Late 80's i was a toddler then little kid, early to mid 70's was a kid to pre-teen, mid 70's to late 80's I was a teen then a young man and girls and all they brought enhanced the music at each period mid 70's onwards.
this track stunned me when released in Australia in '82,i was 14,it stands alone in some respects as one of those songs that has the power that can stop u in your tracks and make you reflect,the mood in itself is unique,it grabs you,its a striking song,and film clip,always has been,always will be
Has humanity gotten so rotten thru the years that it can't even make great music anymore. I grew up with The Foxx and I will go to the other side when the time comes with their music in my head.
This sing describes the nation we live today. divided, socialist, injustice, pandemic, and an uncertain future. Stand or fall, state your peace tonight. Foreigner affairs are screwing us rotten....this deadly covid 19. this song may be over 35 years old, but it perfectly describes what we are living now in 2021
Awesome tune but also as a parent of two young children, this song makes me kinda sad and reminds me how much a parent can actually love their children. That is the greatest love!!
The present day music industry,as opposed to music,looks increasingly like a cartel or oligarchy where entry routes are almost entirely barred except via patronage (bar the TV talent show programmes whose winners will promptly have nearly all the rough or non-conformist edges planed off them by some industry mogul). The 80s and to a fair degree the 90s had so many different competing genres as opposed to everything having to fit into only two or three moulds,and as such where the kind of experimentation that used to be abundant no longer gets the slightest look-in,pushed out to the margins. From what I can see from the outside perspective of someone who long ago lost interest in them the MTVs of this world have morphed into a lifestyle channel for people who indentify with or buy into whatever they're promoting. It must be a frustrating and tiresome situation for many of the young and not-so-young-anymore who don't want to be part of an unthinking fuddy-duddy mass conditioned into being spoonfed generic corporate auto-tuned gloop. There are a few radio stations not hell-bent on safety-first formula but does seem to be an absence of a TV channel today that gives exposure to the best,or at least better or more interesting,innovative or risk-taking of the new music that presently gets relegated to the periphery.
My favorite Fixx song is "Chase the Fire". There's not a song on the "Walkabout" album that I'd skip if TH-cam or a radio station played it straight through.

If you are playing this in 2024 ''YOU ROCK '' THE 80'S The Best , would 'nt trade it !
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY THEM. IT'S AWESOME!!!
agreed brother
I want to go back and rock the 80's again 🎸🥁😎
THAT WOULD BE A DREAM! I WISH THERE WERE SOME GREAT OUTDOOR 80'S BANDS GETTING TOGETHER BUT IT''S NEVER CLOSE TO HOME.@@jeffreyhusack2400
I was a freshman in college when this was released. Saw them live at my school in 1984!
January 2025 who is listening?? 80s rule forever
Here bc I cant find it on spotify 😢, or at least this recording of it.
Two chords and the song is instantly recognized by anyone who lived during that time.
Lol! I haven't heard this one in ages, but I was just in the grocery store and above the usual din I made out those first two notes and instantly knew what it was.
Who's listening in 2025?? Brings back so many memories best music in the 80s
Just saw them last night, 11/9/2023, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Universal Orlando. They were AWESOME. They played Stand or Fall third. Final song was Saved By Zero. They still got it!
Forty years on...still standing.
This is my adolescsence!
Saw them roughly ten years ago opening for Todd Rundgren. Great show!
1982 what a great time 11th grade in High School great times.
Me too...I graduated from high school in 1983. Best time ever!!😊
as a kid of the 80s i am proud of my music.

It was and still is the best ❤️
Best decade for Music!!!

I got goosebumps at the part that starts at 2:07 and that's when I came across your comment. 🙂
My thoughts exactly.
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar I must agree.
I completely agree
Yup .
40 years later, this song could not be more relevant today.
It's about the cold War. Now because of the US and anti democracy idiots here we are again. Now China has entered the ring. This is a disgrace to our families that fought for freedom.
This song describes today's time more than it did the eighties!
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive, don't do as we did
A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Is this the value of our existence
Should we proclaim with such persistence
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue, what's the difference
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
It's the euro theatre
It's the euro theatre
It's the euro theatre

A strong 2 chord haunting melancholy. First thing I saw when I got cable in 82.
Hypnotizing and eerie for sure.
The Faulkland War
1983!!! Year I graduated high school. Forever '80's!!!!
1986 for me. .It was all about music back then and it was great music. We walked the neighborhoods with our boom boxes rocking out with no complaints ever!
1986 for me.... still remember this well !
@@melissanative1799 1983!!! Year I skipped school in the 9th grade to go see Iron Maiden in Dallas, Texas. Forever '80's!!!!

I agree. The start is particularly amazing.
It is hypnotizing I think for me it’s the way the guitar and bass come in especially the bass
@@finaljesus The bass on this song is thumping!
We kids whom grew up in the late 70's and 80's are lucky. What an age we lived in.
Rock on Kids!
All these years I never knew how deep this song really is. Very relevant today.
Unfortunately so true!
We knew somehow
This only peaked at #76 on the Billboard charts in Nov. 1982. If I remember correctly, it was played a lot on MTV.
Sorry had play another time
You are correct. I remember the horse falling and the haunting song.
Yup it was indeed played on MTV, that's where I remember the song from.
Would explain why I never heard it when it came out
I heard this going home last night and I just had to find the video. The 80's were the best.
God, I miss those days! I was 16, in 1983!
Me too !!

70's was pretty damn good too.
70s, it started it's slide in the 80s this song is a perfect example.
Oh yeah it did!
When i heard this song on the radio in '83 i fell in love with The Fixx, and still love them now 40years later💥💜💯
Nice
👍 wording time frame 😮😊
They don't make bands like this anymore. 💖💖 The Fixx!!

Ahhhhhh. Those early days of MTV. Back when they actually played music videos. Great memories. ♥️😏♥️

I grew up listening to music in the sixties and seventies but the best music came from the eighties. I miss that decade.
Ken, I was created in 1963(to west coast hippy parents)so did the 1967 onwards music thing. Late 80's i was a toddler then little kid, early to mid 70's was a kid to pre-teen, mid 70's to late 80's I was a teen then a young man and girls and all they brought enhanced the music at each period mid 70's onwards.
I feel so lucky that I grew up in the 80s. I was a freshman in 83. Graduated in 86. Some of the best music ever!
Man, 1983 was a good year for music.
09/2023 ..... still listening to and breathing Fresh-air with FIXX ..... Happy and Safe tour guys"
this track stunned me when released in Australia in '82,i was 14,it stands alone in some respects as one of those songs that has the power that can stop u in your tracks and make you reflect,the mood in itself is unique,it grabs you,its a striking song,and film clip,always has been,always will be
I had a similar response, and also in Australia.
Howdy mate, I couldn't agree more. From Dallas TX
I'm also from Australia and I love this song too
Has humanity gotten so rotten thru the years that it can't even make great music anymore. I grew up with The Foxx and I will go to the other side when the time comes with their music in my head.
This song was played prior to the Tears for Fears concert in Tulsa. Roland and Curt haven't forgotten about the Fixx.
What does tears have to do with the fixx i mean what's your point

Stand or fall state your peace 🕊️ tonight 😮!
STILL HERE...ALL 54 4EVA TWEEN YRS YOUNG ❤FROM NYC!!
Nothing has changed. 😮
This sing describes the nation we live today. divided, socialist, injustice, pandemic, and an uncertain future. Stand or fall, state your peace tonight. Foreigner affairs are screwing us rotten....this deadly covid 19. this song may be over 35 years old, but it perfectly describes what we are living now in 2021
lol, this is the same version of humanity we have always had.
Cringe
So excited! Seeing The Foxx tonight @mohawk Austin TX 👏👏👏❤️
Awesome tune but also as a parent of two young children, this song makes me kinda sad and reminds me how much a parent can actually love their children. That is the greatest love!!
Growing up in the 80s, waking every morning and looking for the mushroom cloud.
MTV, when they really played music vids.
MTV ,Now they really suck !! Music died in 1989
The present day music industry,as opposed to music,looks increasingly like a cartel or oligarchy where entry routes are almost entirely barred except via patronage (bar the TV talent show programmes whose winners will promptly have nearly all the rough or non-conformist edges planed off them by some industry mogul). The 80s and to a fair degree the 90s had so many different competing genres as opposed to everything having to fit into only two or three moulds,and as such where the kind of experimentation that used to be abundant no longer gets the slightest look-in,pushed out to the margins. From what I can see from the outside perspective of someone who long ago lost interest in them the MTVs of this world have morphed into a lifestyle channel for people who indentify with or buy into whatever they're promoting. It must be a frustrating and tiresome situation for many of the young and not-so-young-anymore who don't want to be part of an unthinking fuddy-duddy mass conditioned into being spoonfed generic corporate auto-tuned gloop. There are a few radio stations not hell-bent on safety-first formula but does seem to be an absence of a TV channel today that gives exposure to the best,or at least better or more interesting,innovative or risk-taking of the new music that presently gets relegated to the periphery.
Paula Abdul, Randy, and Simon were also truly willing and filthy pawns in this as well. Soulless fuck-snots to the max.
+Ralph Jackson Excellently put! So sadly the truth.
Oh yes, those were the good old days!
80’s music rocks
an 80s classic..
The 80s were awsome
fits perfectly for our current times
Seems all countries right now are talking tuff & its a bluff
My favorite Fixx song is "Chase the Fire". There's not a song on the "Walkabout" album that I'd skip if TH-cam or a radio station played it straight through.
Brings back so many memories of my teenage years! Love it!
Forgot how I enjoyed listening to their music. Brings back memories. ❤ 😢
Amazing song, still sounds great!!
And unfortunately still relevant. 😥
It's a shame you cant get this song on Apple Music or Spotify anymore!!! Man, I miss the 80's!! High School & College.....
Out on their own, classic
