I shouldn't listen to these old songs, they make me feel so sad inside. My Dad woudl've been 79 today and I miss him and my Mum more and more every day xx
This makes sense,hope you're o.k. now? I was a forces kid and saw BIG men in uniform unexplainably upset after the Falkland crisis. At primary "skool" I don't know why the news called it a crisis and not a war and still don't!

When this has come out in the late summer and autumn of 1983 was perhaps one of the best periods of the charts in the entire 1980's where everything that was in there at that time was good.
Agreed, the stretch from 1983-1985 might have been the best ever in the history of popular music. The summer of '84 time frame was especially insane with quality music that has stood the test of time.

Wow that's great. Never seen that. Discovering this song by accident on radio when I was 15 changed my life and HoJo saw me through my teen years and beyond. Great guy, great heart and a genuine passion for performing real music his way.
Ahhhhh I'm so fucking obsessed with this fabulous song...can't stop watching this video! Mr. Howard Jones...WHAT A LEGEND!! His moves, his hair...so so COOL! 😎🔥💖 #80s😍
Ooooh yeah, 1983 was a Massive Year for us teens…this song was just so lovely part of my record collecting….especially Howard’s 12inch versions he did for quite a few other songs of his…there’s nothing like the 80’s, let me tell you, Music, Movies, Sports & Friendships was quite spectacular & innovative….Howard is a big part of that
@@TheLace They are still going. They were called Dave Smith Instruments for a while but are now called Sequential again. They also incorporate Oberheim now, but sadly Dave Smith died from a heart attack about 6 months ago
Nice and pure synthesizermusic... but also a nice song... Howard used my two favourite synths at this time, the Roland Jupiter 8 and the Roland Juno 60... I could effort only a Casio CZ101 in the Age of 13... ;-)
Featured on the very first 'Now, That's What I call Music' album (but only made it to side 3!), which i still have on vinyl. Great some bringing back great memories of the early 80s.
Superb magnificent talent and personality stunning funky image ....you dont have to be a big man to be so strong....its just there shooting at you quietly but so powerfully ..howard doesnt have to try ...we love you 🌈💄🥂💎👍💛
Howard Jones disappeared from airplay & I don't know why. He was everywhere in 1985, inescapable on pop or rock stations. Today, 80's stations never play Howard. If we listen to anything 80's on the radio, they never play Howard, as if he never happened & no one remembers.
Yes I agree with Peter it was Keith chegwin in the background- for those outside the Uk Keith was a child actor who then appeared on childrens tv on a Saturday morning, so those of us born in a certain era have found memories of Keith
. Gonna get me one of those baddie mime artists to take into work, then I will be THE MAN! Great video and I have a special place for Saturday Superstore seeing as I was on the pilot episode.
Great artist, at a time when you had to have talent to become a star...... Jones has more talent in his left arm than Little Mix combined with One Direction.....
@@MiamiVisor Yep, this was an era when synthesizers ruled supreme as did the naysayers BUT there was no "program: hit record" button, they were played, often totally manually, live. There were no Digital Audio Workstations back then just people and their fingers! ...and basic sequencers, I know because I was one of them :-)
Fantastic artist had all of his 12" records back in the day. He was a trained pianist, very talented. Glad that he dropped that silly feckin mime artist after this first single though....!! LOL! And the 12" of this is excellent.... And he's still going strong btw...👍😊❤️🎹🎼

The 70s and 80s were the best 20 years of music we will ever witness.
A renaissance happens once in an age, if at all. For music it was the late 70’s to early 90’s i.e. the 80’s.

Very positive, catchy, romantic and beautiful song, in my favourite 1980s style. That's how songs should sound. Thanks a lot.
I bought a crappy old Citroen in the mid 2000s that had a tape deck and this was one of the songs i played all the time in it.
the 80's were the best musically
Back in the day when no one gave a shit what anyone else thought, miss those days
So do I, sorely so. The world turned to a dystopia so fast with the woke millennial culture.

yes I think the 80s sound peaked around 83-84, it was still very clean and not too busy sounding like later 80s

The dancer is so cool! He emphasized the free spiritedness of this song.
What a TUNE!!! From the best era of music 🎶 🎵 👌
We were 15 years old... Such memories ! It's lovely ...
Saw him in 1983 city hall Sheffield with Jed dancing great memories. Still have the autographs.
Never seen this footage before total class from the keyboard wizard
No one plays synths like this guy does absolute legend

Epic Howard's beginnings. Love this Guy ;-)
Me too. 😀
Go Keith Chegwin - Legend. And Howard Jones of course.
i love how he just plays when he feels like, despite the music constantly goes by itself.
Might as well pretend to be playing SOME of it

As much as I love this song it's far better to turn your volume off and just watch this video oh my God
One word
Legend🎹
😃
Absolutely
This song is so great, the presence of the mime is almost forgivable.
There's definitely a surfeit of miming in this video, and not all of it from the guy in the body paint!
_ALMOST._ 🙄
That Golum gets everywhere.
Howard Jones 🙏 Forever fan ! ♥️
Thanks for sharing this.
Este es un tema inolvidable e infaltable en mi colección que recuerdos aquellos los maravillosos 80s, no hay mas
Temon lo baile cuando tenia 16 ahora tengo 50 me gusta como cuando lo escuche por primera vez, igual de fancy ojos chinos. Y alta energia buenazos
Great talent man , what positive tunes too.
Absolutely brilliant,I actually remember this.

impensado hacer hoy este tipo de actuación en vivo en tv y con tremenda canción , que talento de aquel entonces de Howard Jones .
🇯🇵✨💕👍🏼 Great song ..brilliant memories ❤️😻😽🥰
first time ever seen this ,brilliant .thanks Dominic
Wow, I remember watching this live! He made a huge impression on me...I was an instant fan.
So you paint your face and go dancing through the neighborhood shirtless every night?
@@Frip36 Not these days, although I have been known to 😉
I saw in Buenos Aires in friday night it was very emotional he is still the same
Love that synth sound.
Old synths are making a comeback :-)
The host quite the 80's new wave mullet going on!
I miss the 80’s💜
Howard's mum rang mine after i sent a letter, i had been too keen on the tomatoes with the veggie curry recipie in the fan mag. Class mum stuff xx
Can you imagine lyrics like this on any mainstream show for young people today? Or synth solos for that matter…
Great happy mood song
Yes I agree with Peter it was Keith chegwin in the background- for those outside the Uk Keith was a child actor who then appeared on childrens tv on a Saturday morning, so those of us born in a certain era have found memories of Keith

Este tema me recuerda cuando trabajaba en Lima de cobrador de combi en los años 80. Excelentísimo y da ganas de bailar.
. Gonna get me one of those baddie mime artists to take into work, then I will be THE MAN! Great video and I have a special place for Saturday Superstore seeing as I was on the pilot episode.
Lucky you. Did you get any freebies ?
Nice jumper! Still the best thing he’s ever done. Just a perfect song from top to bottom.
Had an opportunity to see howard quite a few years ago. It was a Great show of course.
The mime is killing it!
Howard Jones in 1983 singing New Song in his grey stockingfeet is now 62 years old.
Thanks Coccaine!
Thumbnail makes it look as if HJ is being haunted by a mad dancing ghost. Video almost lives up to that!
Sat morning telly was the best back then
Yeah that was always in on In the background when I was a kid.Only the riffraff watched Tiswas😂 plus Sarah Greene was better looking than Sally James.
Wow…that Roland Jupiter sounds like a Moog! 😉
love the way they plugged things in... then just wrapped the wires round the stand leg. no display on the Jupiter...
Good mime artists
from now on, I want to be followed by a mime everywhere I go...
Adorable! It looks like he's just washed and blow dried that wonderful hair. He looks like a human pom pom!
We’d use shaving foam and baby powder to get it up back in the day. And of course super hold spray. Cheapa the betta.
Amazing Howard Jones, still yet. Even same enthousiasm.

Gotta love the 80's, I sure did and still do

I agree Jones had talent
I agree
They just don't make knitted sweaters like that anymore.
