I was 27 and met the love of my entire life. Am now 67. We were dating when this came out. Three years later we were engaged. Six weeks from our wedding, she called it off. We never got back together. In all these years, the love I have for her has never waned. I was with her at her fathers viewing. Sitting across from each other. No words were spoken. Three months later got a pho e call that she had passed at 57.Heart break does not begin to describe it.
Love is such a blessing, that can turn so cruel when we trust our hearts to the wrong hands! The woman that has my heart now is 1000 x better than both the bitchs that betrayed me!
Few people, if any, knew in 1983 that this song started off in 1963 with Burt Bacharach and Hal David. First recorded as a Demo by Dionne Warwick, Released as a song by Lou Johnson in 1964, Released as a song by Sandie Shaw in 1965, then by Naked Eyes in 1983. Great music comes around again. And some of the greatest sounds come from the 1980's. Thanks Naked Eyes for keeping the tune alive and well for 40 years. May it play happily for eternity.
Of course in 1983 it peaked to No.8 in the Billboard Hot 100 that year and still the most popular version today and Burt Bacharach has grown to love this version.
Can remember sitting with my mom, in the late 80’s, as a kid, listening to this song on the radio, as she did the laundry and I would keep her company. One of the best random memories I have of her. RIP Mom.
British music from the early 80s is the most enjoyable thing to listen to. The vocals are full of feeling, a desperation to live, a hunger for love. Definitely a musical expression that never gets old!
You certainly got THAT right. WHY can't all that-the British Invasion in the 60s and the repeat in the 80s-why can't something like that happen again? Spandau Ballet before they became famous, Tears For Fears, Mike & the Mechanics (Mike Rutherford of Genesis, no less!) even Wham and Aha . . . the list is long. We are all SO DEPRIVED. And it's not just an old fogey reminiscing about a bygone era-I'm a musician who used to be professional, and I can tell when a song has been written and performed by true talent, and that no longer exists. The only thing that exists in Autotune.
Absolutely love this song.....so many great memories back in the day.......those were the days my friend......l thought they'd never end......anybody remember that song??.😂
Greetings! I was around in 1963 when this song was sung as a demo by Dionne Warwick. I loved Dusty Springfield's version and when Naked Eyes did the remake I fell in love all over again! I think seventeen is the perfect age for hearing this song for the first time. I'm in St. Charles, Missouri USA.
Yeah, it was great. The mid-to-late 70s dirge pop songs that were popular such as Firefall's "You Are the Women", etc used the most depressing melodies ever. Possibly the most depressing is "Goodbye Girl" from David Gates of Bread. Total suicide music, lol. There must have been tens of thousands of people who killed themselves while listening to those songs and thinking of a lost lover or lost childhood. Almost all of that music had that quality about it. The Little River Band, Al Stewart, Bonnie Tyler ("It's a Heartache"), etc. The only salvation were rock groups like Van Halen, etc. Then the 80s came and smashed all of that depressing crap to pieces thankfully. The early 80s produced the best pop music since the Beatles. Unfortunately it didn't last long, because starting in the mid 80s, Pop became somber and depressing again "Life in a Northern Town," or commercialized corporate songwriter crap such as Heart's "These Dreams," which was absolutely dreadful. But even though it only lasted a few years, the early 80s produced a huge catalogue of excellent pop songs that were incredibly moving without being depressing. Eurythmics, The Human League, Naked Eyes, Tears For Fears, Cyndi Lauper, Journey, The Police, Culture Club, Men At Work, etc etc. Too many to list. The output was amazing.
My older sister really liked this song, it now has a special place in my heart. She had Down's syndrome and had died when i was only four years old. Although i do not have many memories of her, I still miss her.
I hear this and I'm 16, its 1983 and the sound of my youth explodes out the speakers. I have my whole life ahead of me in the best decade ever, The 80s!
Jed Raw Just came out in 1983 American bandstand Philadelphia they performed live. I was there and I was 15 years old. Look up the video on TH-cam and I am standing beside of my girlfriend in the white skirt, And she has on white sneakers. I am the guy in the purple shirt beside of her with blond hair.
Yes, much agreed. However. in regard to the lyrics. Yes, back then, but not anymore as we do NOT need you or anyone in this context any longer whatsoever No longer reminded as we have moved on!! . Shanks, but no thanks.
"I was born to love her, and now I'll never be free, you'll always be a part of me" As a child, this was my favorite part of the song. Those lyrics were so human to me.
I’m grateful that despite issues related to my family, I was a teenager during the ‘80’s. Especially seeing how dreadful and depressing the world is now, I sometimes wish I simply wasn’t here.

It was a pretty great place after so much turmoil in the 70’s, but some great music in that decade began the journey into greater melody & richer sound…until grunge stomped on it!
As I read your comment about freez ing time a great 80s hit and wildy band J.Giles Band / Freeze Frame lol oh and my Angel is a centerfold huge hit ps my daughter name is Angel 😇 😇 the eighties yes if we could freeze time. Keep rocking all and this song plated in my head most day and si I'm sitting in my car listening and reading about all you 80s crazies ..
You travel back in time creating an alternate universe separate from the main universe in which you live the rest of your days in the 80s. Whatever happens in that alternate universe at any point in time cannot affect the main one as they become two entirely different branches so you can stop horrible events like 9/11 but in the main universe that will always be set. Time traveling ain't simple but it would certainly be fun.
This song shows the amazing songwriting talent of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. It was first recorded by Dionne Warwick in 1963 and has been re-recorded another four times including this version by Naked Eyes.
Re-makes are nice when done with quality such as this. A lot of people don't know a lot of good music of late 70s&80s were remakes. Like what blonde did. Some people think that some songs are lesbian that Deb H.sings. Infact they were boy band songs from the 60s
@@samsteel2643 A beautiful interpretation of a classic song. As someone born in the sixties, I sorely miss that many of todays artist don't recognize the value of embracing the past to cast the future.
This song means something different when you have someone in mind. How could I forget you. Theres always something there to remind me of you. Thank you for being in my life for a short while.
I was eight years old when this version of the song came out, and it's still my favorite of all the versions that have been made. An absolutely timeless piece of music. Naked Eyes did it justice.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII was borrrrrrrrrrrn to love herrrrrrrrr!" I've had that lyric in my head about my first love for 24 years. She passed away in 2009, but she's always gonna the one for me, no matter who I meet.
I bet she was just as lucky to have you as you were to have her, hope that some day I can find someone who will share a relationship with as much love as the one you had.
No question - the Brits were (are) unbelievable! it wouldn't be nearly the same without them. BUT this song was written by an American. You might have heard of him - Burt Bacharach! Maybe the Brits and us are better together?
This song will definitely live on for generations to come. Godspeed 🙏 Mr. Burt Bacharach thank you for your wonderful music and touched our lives with incredible lyrics and melodies.
Another British music wave in the Eighties. Naked Eyes made certain there was always something to remind the music world of them when they released this hit!
I was born in 1981. Loved this song. My mom always played these on the radio. Remember when the, "WOW! That's Music" CD commercials would come on? This was always the first song! Clean, beautiful music! 80's. I wish I had those CDs now. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
10 years old when this came out. I think ive enjoyed it everytime I've heard it since. Totally gives me the 80s nostalgia feel you get only if you were there to experience it. Miss those days.
😭 I remembered taping this on cassette when it's on the radio. I miss those carefree days in the 80s and this song will forever remain as the ultimate one that makes me feel like a teenager whenever I hear it. Thank you for the precious memories! ❤️
They are precious memories aren't they !! I was working at American Eagle while in college back in '88, this song played every night at closing time in the mall, WOW, the memory is actually taking my breath away !! I guess the 80's will always do that to us. We were BLESSED to experience them ! Sorry for rambling on... ..💯🤔😥💯
Thousands of hours of music on cassettes taped from the radio. Only a handful survive. I've been trying to buy as many CD's as I can find. Will never be able to replace them all.

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be Well, how can I forget you, girl? When there is always something there to remind me Always something there to remind me As shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at night And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight Well, how can I forget you, girl? When there is always something there to remind me Always something there to remind me I was born to love her, and I will never be free You'll always be a part of me Oh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa oh If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there Well, how can I forget you, girl? When there is always something there to remind me Always something there to remind me I was born to love her, and I will never be free You'll always be a part of me 'Cause there is always something there to remind me Always something there to remind me
One of my all-time favourites! I am 64 years old (but still feel as I did when this 'modern' version came out in 1983) and can still remember hearing it on the radio in the late 1960's. Fell in love with this song all over again when the fantastic group "Naked Eyes" covered it--bravo to them for the excellent video they produced as it perfectly captures the meaning/lyrics/soul of this yet-another masterpiece created by Burt Bacharach--God Bless him and may his soul rest in peace 😇.
This song, original version, just popped into my head as I climbed the stairs heading to bed. Could have been years since I tho't of it. How I feel about a woman now, after trying so many times to forget about her. Harsh words mean goodbye to me, but not her. After she says 'ok, then leave, I have many other men better than you begging for my attention', I know she is right, so I block her on chat, but after a day or 2 she finds a way to contact me, usually via a friend,, and asks 'are you happy now'? NO! I can never be free, she will always be a part of me? Part of my insecurity is she is a super star, 4M fans on IG, so beautiful, so young, so far out of my league, but somehow she truly loves me!? Trying not to over react anymore, and just quit doubting...
I haven't stopped listening to it since I purchased the album on cassette 2 days after it's US release in 1982. I still have that same cassette tape in my possession 42 yrs later!
This is another one of those that I remember fondly; though I was very young when this came out I remember it well. It was a favorite! I do miss the 80s.
Oh man, this really brings back the memories, I remember going to the mall and buying my first Walkman style FM radio, this is the first song that played. I was so in heaven😌 March 16, 1983. Like it was yesterday 😊❗️ I miss the 80s
Until now,I had no idea who was responsible for this catchy, moving masterpiece, always gets my pulse racing. One of those great songs that just grabs you heart and soul.
The arrangement of this song from Naked Eyes is far more superior than the original ever was. This is one of the very few songs that actually had the remake outshining the original. Spectacular.
The church bells in this song have haunted me for twenty six years. I remember taping this on my old boost phone just to loop beginning. Adore this song. ❤
I was a senior in college when this song hit the charts... Reminds me so much of my (relatively!) carefree college days. Did not realize this was a Bacharach/David song. RIP Burt!
One of the most iconic songs of the 80s to me, everytime I hear it it brings me back to this apartment I use to live in with my mom and sister and how I would gather up as many quarters as I can so I could go to Aladdin's Castle spend my day playing video games and listing to awesome tunes, including this one.
the intro is spectacular!!! followed by that synth reverberating. That song transport me to my last days of school (1983). I was happy and I hadn't knew it..
Another classic 60s song. Dionne recorded it first. Works on every level. Great intro and it was a time period of musical exploration, fusing bits of different genres.
Holy shit someone who quoted Mark. One of my favorites and I KNOW I will pass his beautiful work down to my kids and so forth. A angelic voice with sounds that just makes you think about your life and the world. Talk Talk has always been under rated and besides their biggest hits, I think they don't have any bad songs. A little something for each. Also, INXS is also under rated but again each song is TIMELESS. They're my favorite band and you should listen to some of their work. Start with the infamous "Need You Tonight" from "Kick" and then proceeded to finish the rest of the songs on it which is one of their best albums sold lol.
I remember listening to that song on radio on the school bus when I was a preteen. I did not know what this song was called and I did not know who played it either but now I've finally revealed the name of the song and the band and all thanks to Tiktok. It's probably one of the most underrated 1980s song ever heard of and it's probably one of the rarest songs of all time as well. I always love the 1980s music. It never gets old and it will always be a timeless classic. Along with the 1990s and 2000s, 1980s is one of my favourite decades for music. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 By the way I love the beginning of the song and it sounds kinda very Christmassy to me.
Thank you so much for this beautiful message.Those words were so much powerful more especially when you loose your soul mate ,wife for thirty years and you hear this song, you are going to cry almost every day.Again thanks again and again

Thank you for bringing a 60's classic into the 80's for me to enjoy in my youth.
I cherish the memories this song evokes from my past.
I was 27 and met the love of my entire life. Am now 67. We were dating when this came out. Three years later we were engaged. Six weeks from our wedding, she called it off. We never got back together. In all these years, the love I have for her has never waned. I was with her at her fathers viewing. Sitting across from each other. No words were spoken. Three months later got a pho e call that she had passed at 57.Heart break does not begin to describe it.
I hear you. I'm sorry for your heartbreak
It was not meant to be...
I had one similar, minus the viewing , not even time can soothe that pain
Love is such a blessing, that can turn so cruel when we trust our hearts to the wrong hands! The woman that has my heart now is 1000 x better than both the bitchs that betrayed me!
Man I'm so sorry to hear that....

Well said. What a summer that was.
In the case of this song, though, it was written by an American composer and performed by two American artists before Naked Eyes covered it.

I’m 22 years old and all I can listen too and actually enjoy is 80s music. Wish I was alive in those times.
My son is 14 and says the same thing.
It was a pretty great place after so much turmoil in the 70’s, but some great music in that decade began the journey into greater melody & richer sound…until grunge stomped on it!
Only if I had the power to freeze time, the 80's would last a thousand years.

As I read your comment about freez ing time a great 80s hit and wildy band J.Giles Band / Freeze Frame lol oh and my Angel is a centerfold huge hit ps my daughter name is Angel 😇 😇 the eighties yes if we could freeze time. Keep rocking all and this song plated in my head most day and si I'm sitting in my car listening and reading about all you 80s crazies ..
👼And there's always something there to remember me, all thanks to God and Jesus love's.💘
If time travel becomes real before I die, I'm going back to the 80's to live out the remainder of my days.
I'm with you too
100% with you on that one!!!!!
Eighties freedom..
Me too. I’m only in junior high so I never got to experience the 80’s but I’m obsessed with it so hell yeah im down.
You travel back in time creating an alternate universe separate from the main universe in which you live the rest of your days in the 80s. Whatever happens in that alternate universe at any point in time cannot affect the main one as they become two entirely different branches so you can stop horrible events like 9/11 but in the main universe that will always be set. Time traveling ain't simple but it would certainly be fun.
Naked Eyes was a good early 80`s group with several hits. This was my fav🥰
This song shows the amazing songwriting talent of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. It was first recorded by Dionne Warwick in 1963 and has been re-recorded another four times including this version by Naked Eyes.
Re-makes are nice when done with quality such as this. A lot of people don't know a lot of good music of late 70s&80s were remakes. Like what blonde did. Some people think that some songs are lesbian that Deb H.sings. Infact they were boy band songs from the 60s
I never knew this was a cover until I watched Last Night In Soho. Crazy.
I believe it was first recorded by Lou Johnson. I may be splitting hairs. Great cover nonetheless.
@@AGR298 me too, this was one of my favorite songs, i like the version from last night in soho better though. More haunting, like a ghost
@@samsteel2643 A beautiful interpretation of a classic song. As someone born in the sixties, I sorely miss that many of todays artist don't recognize the value of embracing the past to cast the future.
This song means something different when you have someone in mind.
How could I forget you.
Theres always something there to remind me of you.
Thank you for being in my life for a short while.
My condolences and prayers to Mr Burt Bacharach's family ... may his soul rest in eternal love and peace with GOD.
There’s some music that will be remembered all of your life.
The 1980's....when a friend was a friend.
Not to many friends in today s brave new world
I agree brother 59 and still going
true times were easier back in the day this song brings on these memories
I heard back in the 80s everybody knew each other. Idk if that’s true or not
I’m always posting on these 80s songs. 90s baby who wishes I was this age during that time :/
I was eight years old when this version of the song came out, and it's still my favorite of all the versions that have been made. An absolutely timeless piece of music. Naked Eyes did it justice.
When music was still good. I miss the 80’s. 🥲
Me too... but im 2000s kid lol
Happy new year I miss the 80s too is why when I paint all I hear is 80s for motivation.Happy 2021 be blessed everyone
I wasn’t alive in the 80’s
okay boomer
Good old days!!!
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII was borrrrrrrrrrrn to love herrrrrrrrr!"
I've had that lyric in my head about my first love for 24 years. She passed away in 2009, but she's always gonna the one for me, no matter who I meet.
You are inspiring, I am sorry for your loss.
I bet she was just as lucky to have you as you were to have her, hope that some day I can find someone who will share a relationship with as much love as the one you had.
I'm sorry brother. Press on man life keeps going.
😢 I’m sorry for your loss.
this guy is 5 years old look at his name. such cap bro stop begging for attention
Bacharach/David masterpiece even for the SynthPop generation. How cool was Burt? RIP, maestro.
👼And There's always something there to remember me about God and Jesus. Cause it's all about hope, faith and love.💘
Such a good songggg, the UK definitely produced some of the greatest artists!
The Brits were the force behind 80s music I’d say
That’s the biggest understatement ever 😂👌
No question - the Brits were (are) unbelievable! it wouldn't be nearly the same without them. BUT this song was written by an American. You might have heard of him - Burt Bacharach! Maybe the Brits and us are better together?
This song will definitely live on for generations to come. Godspeed 🙏 Mr. Burt Bacharach thank you for your wonderful music and touched our lives with incredible lyrics and melodies.
This song takes me back to being a kid in the 80s. Just hearing this I can smell the 80s, I can taste it in the air. 🤗
❤
Specially the smell of Aquanet hairspray 😂LOL
@@EmanuelPerez-it6kyhaha... I was coming here to say something similar. Not only help, but wax and hair laquer. That hair was going NOWHERE!!!
Another British music wave in the Eighties. Naked Eyes made certain there was always something to remind the music world of them when they released this hit!
Classic, 80's forever.
Classic 60 forever. LOL this song is from the 60s Check Andy Williams, Burt Bacharach

I was born in 1981. Loved this song. My mom always played these on the radio. Remember when the, "WOW! That's Music" CD commercials would come on? This was always the first song! Clean, beautiful music! 80's. I wish I had those CDs now. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Another great Burt Bacharach composition. RIP Mr. Bacharach. Your legacy will always be great. Thank you for all the great music
One word describes this song.
Timeless.
Or christmassy
Or herpes.
In my memories, the 80s were just good times and music is always there to remind me.
You said it!
10 years old when this came out. I think ive enjoyed it everytime I've heard it since. Totally gives me the 80s nostalgia feel you get only if you were there to experience it. Miss those days.
J Kent i was ten years old too in 1983. how time flies. this song will be 40 years old next year.
@@dfcardenas22 Cheers Dave.
Yes,same 10 in 1983
I was 14. And I don't think anyone who was around our age at the time was not affected by that 80's sound.
Me too. Me too. Oh God if we could just rewind time. 😢
I just noticed that during the chorus, "always something there to remind me..." a dead battery fire alarm chirps.
😂😂 genius
😭 I remembered taping this on cassette when it's on the radio. I miss those carefree days in the 80s and this song will forever remain as the ultimate one that makes me feel like a teenager whenever I hear it. Thank you for the precious memories! ❤️
They are precious memories aren't they !! I was working at American Eagle while in college back in '88, this song played every night at closing time in the mall, WOW, the memory is actually taking my breath away !! I guess the 80's will always do that to us. We were BLESSED to experience them ! Sorry for rambling on...
..💯🤔😥💯
A teenager you look younger than me. This song came out about 85ish I think. So I was 8 back then...Time has been good to you👍
Thousands of hours of music on cassettes taped from the radio. Only a handful survive. I've been trying to buy as many CD's as I can find. Will never be able to replace them all.
Yes how I miss these simple loving songs

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
As shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Oh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa oh
If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love her, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
'Cause there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Sharon Feldman thanks for the lyrics
Sharon Feldman awesomeness
Hey!!! Thank you for the lyrics!!!

Thanks for the lyrics. You are awesome.
RIP Burt Bacharach for this amazing song 😢
One of my all-time favourites! I am 64 years old (but still feel as I did when this 'modern' version came out in 1983) and can still remember hearing it on the radio in the late 1960's. Fell in love with this song all over again when the fantastic group "Naked Eyes" covered it--bravo to them for the excellent video they produced as it perfectly captures the meaning/lyrics/soul of this yet-another masterpiece created by Burt Bacharach--God Bless him and may his soul rest in peace 😇.
I would never place music today over the 80s it's no comparison absolutely never
Only the 60s and 70s, LOL this song is from the 60s Check Andy Williams, Burt Bacharach
It wasn’t that good
Matter of taste, timing, i like it better, first heard is best IMHO 😅@@questionauthority7377
NEVER
I was born to love this song! and I will never be free, it’ll always be a part of me.
I'm 23 years old and it's one of my favorite songs for the moment!
The irony is I've forgotten this song many times... but, there's always something there to remind me
Who Else is Listening to this Classic in 2024?
This song, original version, just popped into my head as I climbed the stairs heading to bed. Could have been years since I tho't of it. How I feel about a woman now, after trying so many times to forget about her. Harsh words mean goodbye to me, but not her. After she says 'ok, then leave, I have many other men better than you begging for my attention', I know she is right, so I block her on chat, but after a day or 2 she finds a way to contact me, usually via a friend,, and asks 'are you happy now'? NO! I can never be free, she will always be a part of me? Part of my insecurity is she is a super star, 4M fans on IG, so beautiful, so young, so far out of my league, but somehow she truly loves me!? Trying not to over react anymore, and just quit doubting...
Me
Me too rob fisher Rip also from climie fisher too
Me hehe
I haven't stopped listening to it since I purchased the album on cassette 2 days after it's US release in 1982. I still have that same cassette tape in my possession 42 yrs later!
This song is always there to remind me of the 80’s
until you find out it's from the 60's
HAHA!
I think it was recorded in 1983
This is another one of those that I remember fondly; though I was very young when this came out I remember it well. It was a favorite! I do miss the 80s.
Same here with everything you said.Incredibly this may be the first time I've seen the video for the song, because it doesn't look familiar.
@@NotNotKenny I never saw the video either until I found it here - but there's no mistaking that song!
There’s so much ultra potent Nostalgia in 80s classics, but this might be the top track🥹
When you listen to songs like this one from the Spring of 1983-you’ll always find something there to remind you. Musical memories...
Oh man, this really brings back the memories, I remember going to the mall and buying my first Walkman style FM radio, this is the first song that played. I was so in heaven😌
March 16, 1983. Like it was yesterday 😊❗️ I miss the 80s
Until now,I had no idea who was responsible for this catchy, moving masterpiece, always gets my pulse racing. One of those great songs that just grabs you heart and soul.
This is a remake. Sandy Shore sung the original.

Awesome

Id forgotten how much i liked this song, ah the good old days.
If I had a time machine I'd never leave the 80s.
I have to agree with you
No doubt!
I'm right there with you. 🎉
🙋♀️ eu também!!
The arrangement of this song from Naked Eyes is far more superior than the original ever was. This is one of the very few songs that actually had the remake outshining the original. Spectacular.
The church bells in this song have haunted me for twenty six years. I remember taping this on my old boost phone just to loop beginning. Adore this song. ❤
Born in '81 & this remains my all-time favorite 80's song!
LOL this song is from the 60s Check Andy Williams, Burt Bacharach
I was a senior in college when this song hit the charts... Reminds me so much of my (relatively!) carefree college days. Did not realize this was a Bacharach/David song. RIP Burt!
I love 80's music... The best songs ever

One of the most iconic songs of the 80s to me, everytime I hear it it brings me back to this apartment I use to live in with my mom and sister and how I would gather up as many quarters as I can so I could go to Aladdin's Castle spend my day playing video games and listing to awesome tunes, including this one.
the intro is spectacular!!! followed by that synth reverberating. That song transport me to my last days of school (1983). I was happy and I hadn't knew it..

On the radio. In the shops. ALL THE TIME. 😣 But I DO miss good ol' 1983.
The 80s the best of British bands
The Brits were more responsible than anyone else for 80s music I’d say.
But this is a song by Bacharat, who is canadian
Yes that true
@@gloriasangermano3687 yeah but the band are British
@Enzo James I agree
One of the best covers of all time
1983 was a long time but it still conjures up good memories and puts a smile on my face. Pure 💯 % masterpiece
Another classic 60s song. Dionne recorded it first. Works on every level. Great intro and it was a time period of musical exploration, fusing bits of different genres.
This sing gives me motivation to live again. Such a great song. Thank you Mom for playing this around me as a child💙
I love that line 🎶I was born to love her🎶 and wow he has an amazing voice..I miss the 80's

"To me the ultimate ambition is to make music that doesn't have a use by date, that goes beyond your own time." - Mark Hollis
And he achieved it
Holy shit someone who quoted Mark. One of my favorites and I KNOW I will pass his beautiful work down to my kids and so forth. A angelic voice with sounds that just makes you think about your life and the world. Talk Talk has always been under rated and besides their biggest hits, I think they don't have any bad songs. A little something for each. Also, INXS is also under rated but again each song is TIMELESS. They're my favorite band and you should listen to some of their work. Start with the infamous "Need You Tonight" from "Kick" and then proceeded to finish the rest of the songs on it which is one of their best albums sold lol.
Lifetime MTV fan here!! Naked Eyes!!❤❤❤❤
A Classic! The Best of New Wave!
My favourite 80s song. I’ll never forget. Thankyou for posting. 💞🌸💞

Which would be odd if I was his dad!

In the 80s British bands were huge, it's different. The drums at the end. Sold, bought paid for!!!! M
This song just POPPED UP in my mind ...it reminds me of my childhood ❤️❤️❤️❤️💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
😁
I remember listening to that song on radio on the school bus when I was a preteen. I did not know what this song was called and I did not know who played it either but now I've finally revealed the name of the song and the band and all thanks to Tiktok.
It's probably one of the most underrated 1980s song ever heard of and it's probably one of the rarest songs of all time as well. I always love the 1980s music. It never gets old and it will always be a timeless classic. Along with the 1990s and 2000s, 1980s is one of my favourite decades for music.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
By the way I love the beginning of the song and it sounds kinda very Christmassy to me.
Thank you so much for this beautiful message.Those words were so much powerful more especially when you loose your soul mate ,wife for thirty years and you hear this song, you are going to cry almost every day.Again thanks again and again
