- The Church - Under The Milky Way
Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
Sound of their breath fades with the light.
I think about the loveless fascination,
Under the milky way tonight.
Lower the curtain down in memphis,
Lower the curtain down all right.
I got no time for private consultation,
Under the milky way tonight.
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
And its something quite peculiar,
Something thats shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Under the milky way tonight.
I wonder if a band, when making a song such as this, knows that it will transcend throughout the decades of time and be important generation after generation? I suppose not, but I'm sure happy songs like this exist.
I always wonder that to, maybe they all sinc up into some kind of indescribable musical vibe and realize the magic.
Totally agree. A Classic.
Yep just recently heard this for the first time. Darn good song now on my favourite list.
awesome awesome times track 💓 just perfect Melody... perfect words and perfect voice for it also 💓 just takes you back
🖤😎🤘🏼
This song is bitter sweet for me, back in my mid teens I'd listen to this and other great songs on an old AMFM transister radio in my room at night, trying to block out the shouting and bullshit going on in the house, if it wasn't for being able too immerse myself in the music.. God knows.. I'm now 53yrs old, and this music still makes me cry, my life is so much better now, and it just reminds me of how far I've come, my lovely wife, we met late in life, no kids of our own, but her grandchildren are wonderful, and I'd never let them experience what I went through, The 1980s music is the greatest for me, but times change, and music moves on, I hope the music of today, has that kind of impact on today's youth. Love life, It's shorter than you think.
im very glad youre in a better life now ! we all must go thru the bitterness of life but we always come out of it if we play our cards right ! congrads !
🤗
Life goes on, you go from strength to strength! Live!
My wife grew up in a similar environment . Dad came home from the pub charged up and they scrambled to their bedrooms as all hell broke loose . It was a fairly common scene in Oz late 70s into the 80s
WELL put Allan I also came out of the BS a Powerfull Person with a caring heart.
Dad loves to play this one for mum on Friday nights. It's their 40th anniversary today. Happy anniversary mum and dad!
I know that this is late, but congratulations to your parents!
your Dad is very romantically strategic haha
That's beautiful
No one Cares
@@selfoblivionalex6262 your aspbergers is showing. tone it down there bud
Who else gets chills by listening to this song?
Me. Spooky, great song.
Count me in.
Eu
Every time!
Absolutely amazing.. It makes me feel totally free
Mine and my very first girlfriends song. Still picture her dancing to this in her bedroom in 1987. Hope she has lived a wonderful and good life since then.
Duh
what a beautiful thing to say 🎡🎭
Wow that’s very evocative. I know the feeling.
Can I picture that too ?
I would have loved to have been a teenager in the 80s. I bet that was the best decade for growing up. And thats coming from a 90s kid.
April 7, 2020 : There are some things money just can't buy....I was feeling very sad today because it is my son's birthday and I couldn't spend it with him, or afford to buy him a gift because of being unemployed due to the coronavirus pandemic....I gazed out my window this evening and what a beautiful full moon! WOW it looks so close, but yet still far away....I thought of my son hoping he is enjoying the same beautiful moon on his birthday!
That's priceless Things will get more normal though ☺💝🌃🎆
Those thoughts are a gift in themselves. Thoughts of your son.
Your son understands. Peace and love sister.
I can't stop staring at the moon. It is so bright and close lately. It feels like a sign from God somehow.
Love doesn't cost a damn dime. Love is all we want
My friends were on a camping trip and we had an 80s/90’s playlist on a Bluetooth speaker, just enjoying the vibe. Right before everyone went to bed we looked up from the fire and all the stars were out, and sure enough, above us we could clearly see the Milky Way. The sparks from the fire were dancing through the air like fireflies. And right then, this song came on. The moment and the song matched up perfectly. Life just feels like a movie sometimes. So grateful for these moments that remind us life isn’t all bad.
That's so beautiful man! What a perfect moment for you to experience ❤
What a glorious, unforgettable, life changing moment in time.
Nice.
And ..... life IS a movie,
and you're the actor. 😊
Awesome synchronicity. I believe you, b/c its happens to me from time to time...insomuch that i think its beyond mere coincidence, but rather some higher being watching those with a good heart, and letting them know he is around, and that you are loved and cherished.
Awesome
Played this at my Dad's funeral last week
🕊️🌌🇦🇺
🙏💕✨️💕✨️🙏
Condolences
My condolences. Peace be your journey.
Sure you did
one of the best Australian songs ever made
‘Friday On My Mind’ is another.
the 80’s were so amazing. The Church, The Smiths, The Cult, Midnight Oil, The Cure, U2 … all had that one song that takes you back to being so young
It leads us hear ,timeless and top notch,it's quite peculiar,under the milky way tonight,best song ever when I'm in my many moods it's soothing to my mind ,peace to all
So I play it again and again over and over can't get enough ,that's the way I feel
Such a great Kool video,love the unknown"stars"
The Church were Australia's best and most underestimated band back in the day. Pure class
Agreed!
Still are mate!
Spot on
I agree - one hit wonders.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@@saxglend9439 Unguarded Moment is a hit and great song of theirs too.
This song always reminds me of Australian summer nights in the middle of nowhere. That certain magical feel of the air and the sound of the insects and a slight breeze, a possum or two gazing with big eyes, the silhouettes of the gum trees, and being hours away from anyone else.
Perfect comment, this is how I feel about this masterpiece as well. A great track to listen to while camping, sitting around a campfire and gazing up at the stars hearing the sounds of the Australian bush.
Reminds me of Cape York.
What a beautyful experience. Somewhere in Australian desert. I am 61 and i am planning the same adventure. Dream of all my life
Indeed mate
Was thinking similar, except it reminds me of my childhood in Africa (now live in Europe)
Never ever gets old, aussie classic, thanks guys ❤
Did not realise that The Church were Australian. Thanks for the info and of course a great song.😊
@@adambroderick3462they’re from Sydney
@@DylanL1909 thank you for the extra geographic info and as usual Australia seems to produce an inordinate amount of incredible musician's! (From a South African).😁
I didn't know The Church was an aussie band either!
@@aussie2uGA
Same and I've been a huge fan for over 30+ years.
I always assumed they were from the UK.
This song has such a haunting feel to it that goes right to my soul every time I hear it. It is hard to put words to it, it is so beautiful, lonely, and haunting all wrapped up in a timeless classic. Simply put it is a masterpiece.
And it was recorded so well ❤to me there is no comparison to his live version I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS SONG💓💋🤩
That is exactly how I feel when I listen to this song. It is hauntingly beautiful and like you, this song goes right through my soul. I can't put words to how much it effects me every time I listen to it and yet I haven't yet been able to work out why.
I know music is subjective, but how could anyone dislike this? One of my favorite songs of all time.
For real, this song is so damn good! I'm not even a big fan of 80's music either, but there's no denying that decade had some great songs.
Gen Z cancel culture mob.
57 years old and i still love this track! Makes me cry 😢 u realize how awesome u have it& its gone!
Beautifully noted!
Me too ❤
One of the greatest Aussie songs, ever! An underappreciated diamond.
Underappreciated ? Bet no one here says that
This song and the comments on this thread make me feel positive in our humanity again. Kindness and love are flowing in here and I am so pleased that I stopped my day to enjoy the experience! Peace, hope, and love to all who read this! ❤
Keep that positivity ❤
Thank you Victoria. Your words are just as inspiring as this great Aussie song
I agree. These comments have touched me so deeply. We all need to stay connected and give each other hope and love,
I agree, this song taps into a remote part of urself that should always be present
Love back, Victoria Sanderson ❤
Sitting in La Rochelle France with my beautiful wife of 48 years. Just played Choir Boys GANGajang and then came across this wonderful piece of music. Under the Milky Way Tonight. How lucky am I
My brother's favourite band next to The Angels, sadly he passed aged 55 June 2021.
What a haunting song.
He gave me my love for Aussie Rock bands & whenever I hear The Church it floods me with memories... beautiful songs but sadly remembered ❤
Ouch...
Ignore that bottomfeeder's bizarre response. Condolences to you and rest in peace to your brother and I hope you are coping alright. It is a haunting song but at least you have something you can go to that will immediately remind you of the bond you two have. What are The Angels like? Did he put you onto any of their tunes he liked?
Absolutely love this song, man. It was also perfectly played in Donnie Darko, one of my favorite movies.
Iggy Stardust you have impeccable taste
Iggy Stardust yes absolutely one of my favorite films as well
@@Elioka As do you, my friend. As do you.
@@CarlosLopez-ku9sl Never gets old brotha
Amazing film. Moves me to tears.
This was my generation. Mtv and VH1 still played music videos, social media was the notes you passed to each other in class, and just driving around with the radio on and enjoying music like this was all we needed in life.
Couldn't of said it better myself!💜🎶💜
Thanks for the summary. Hit the nail on the head
very very true.....crising in a 76 Cutlas all the rage...listening to the the
Yup, 4 turns from the bridge to Toronto with the radio blasting every night!!
wow just so incredibly thoughtful and profound.a modern day Lewis.
lost my love of my life after 35 years this song makes me think shes looking down on me
Greg Schock, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I hope you find inner peace and the pain subsides.
I got pepper in the eyes.
then she is
She definitely is
She is and always will be.
The lyrics and composition of this song is awesome. This song reaches the core of the heart. Phenomenal to say the least ❤️❤️❤️.
It's ok.

Wish I could go back 30 years
My daughter now listens to all of this. She's twenty-three. It makes my heart happy that I can pass down my favourite music to her❤
Underrated,underplayed,but one of the most exquisite sounds I've heard in my era.
september quest It brings tears to me
Agreed. Ok one of my top ten best songs.
It's that 12 string......they have a way of doing that too YA!!
12/28/2021 was the first time I heard this song and l listen to 80 music fairly often in the car on the radio.
@@joshuaa.kennedy8837 Well Josh, the Aussie music scene in the 80s was absolutely the best. Check it out on Spotify or the like. You will be doing yourself a favour.
This song takes me back to my college years SO fast.
The power of music to transport you is truly amazing.
Absolutely music is such a time machine. The yearning this song invokes...goosebumps
Pure 80s new wave.... everything was fresh and exciting...what a time for music..I'm glad I lived it.
for sure bro!
Me too!
wish we could go back in time!!!
The BEST time...
Yep, miss it dearly
Without a doubt, this is one of the defining songs (and video, not coincidentally) of the 1980s. The gothic darkwave just carries you away into a sea of introspective melancholy. I've always loved this song.
"Gothic Darkwave". "Into a sea of introspective melancholy". These words, worthy of their own melody. You've inspired me....
Can recall the first time hearing this haunting song. It's been cherished for over 40 years.
Same. There are a few songs that have touched my soul like that...remembering exactly the moment you heard it.
I was kissing my lover when this song was playing. We were together for 23yrs. I will always love him 🌹
Saw Steve Kilbey last night singing this accoustically. Not only is he still an excellent singer, he is a bloody funny guy who is very humble. Very charismatic and if you ever get the opportunity to see him, I highly recommend it ❤️👌
Saw him last Sunday !
@@homeless_greg_games what did you think?
A friend who's the closest thing to a 2nd mother to me just passed away. She loved the Church. I'm going to spend the rest of the night listening. RIP Lada.
the native americans believed that everytime a loved one died there wud appear a new star in the sky meaning they are there watcing over us !
Absolutely the most atmospheric song.
I'm 63 years old and from San Francisco. The song pulls me out of depression every time! Namaste Hari Krishna!
Krishna was created….by the King Yeshua !…..find him
From the 80s, when life still made sense...
I agree.. I miss the 80s
I miss the style of the way we dressed
I feel you man...wherever you are.
I'm a 84 baby and I come back to these songs coz I remember them as a child and how things were so chill..travelling the country with dad in the torana surfing the coast, or me 16 in Tasmania sneaking my gf out at night so we can hangout up a mountain in a VH valiant to make out to these tunes and when JJJ played decent shit haha..the worlds screwed I miss the 80s 90s and ppl still look at me like I'm on the spectrum because I qoute bill and ted lines
Amen brother 🤟🏻
When you lose someone you love dearly it is the hardest thing to get through. After saying my last goodbye, I got into my car and this song came on the radio. Every time I hear it, he comes to mind. Love you always Wyatt. RIP.
I don't know you but i feel the same as you... i'm in tears... wish you the best
May Wyatt rest in paradise❤️
@@dereek1618 I believe he is in paradise, I have seen him in my dreams and he is happy but I still miss him every day.
Belated thoughts of comfort sent to you. I can relate. May have you found peace in your broken heart. Time is healer.
😢
goosebumps EVERYtime
some songs come close to being sacred. this is one of them
This one and Sia’s Breathe Me...which is a magnum opus.
@@KateSc722 + shine on - house of love :)
Music touches feelings that words cannot, this song is the epitome of that very statement!
Beautiful song and the night scenery is a perfect match
I concur
I love this song. It's sad for the Church that this song is bigger than the band could ever become. but what an incredible song that will never grow old
But...this song helped so many people, and this song is a masterpiece
Nothing sad about it! Those of us who were fans of The Church in the '80s and went to any length to see them live always knew they would go onto greatness. Steve Kilby is a legend in Australian music as a performer and producer.
why is this song not on some kinda "Best song" list...? it's a freaking masterpiece
Wow..how can a song make you feel so old..and still so young, all at the same time?
Best comment! Strange thing is, it made me feel that same way back when it first came out when I was young.
I'm 18 and only known the song for a few years but it has the same feeling on me. Fucking amazing song
Only just discovered this song and am nearly 40! Where was I?.Beautifully melancholy !
Lisa Evans I'm 52 and used to listen to the whole album on cassette in my walkman! The 80's were a magical time for music!
Because there is no such thing as age. We are timeless souls...
One of my long lost forgotten gems! Wish music still had a sound like this today, peaceful and relaxing with a gentle flow!!!
Mainstream music dosen't generally have this, but there is still good music and good bands/artists out there, you just have to know where to look and also explore. The Church are one of the legendary leaders of keeping this sound and music alive. They have over 25 albums of amazing and varied sounds, (Dreamy, psychadelia, dark, acoustic, post punk/post modern rock (Circa. late 1980's MTV & 120 minutes) Indie, singer/songwriter and so much more... Some songs so familiar to this, and creative/story telling element by Steve Kilby is stage front, with The Church and his side projects like Kilbey/Kennedy... And though The Church's line-up has changed over the years, today they are literally comprised like a supergroup of amazing musicians from other legit bands with Steve still on vocals. What's not to enjoy?
This song encapsulates the eighties like no other. perfection
This is one of those songs that just brings you right back to the 80's.
One of the joys of getting old, and there aren't many, is seeing and hearing your record collection being discovered and enjoyed by new generations - whether used in adverts or by filmmakers. Nostalgia at its best... so many memories both old and new.
don't agree at all that there aren't many joys to getting old. put exercise and nutrition first and you'll thrive. all that life experience should have you feeling more at peace with yourself, and your perception of the world, than you ever have been in the past.
guy dulac old? Come on...you sound like a kid
They don't make'em like they used to...........listen to today's crap and comment
Maxumised... thanks! Born in '69 but I'll take the compliment even though it wasn't intended as one. As a kid, I made a promise to myself that I would never change - remain a kid... mission accomplished!
Can you believe we're old enough for this to be clasic rock
Australia at its finest, incorporating bagpipes into their music, brilliant, well done the Church, 80's at it's best. 🤘👊
Funny how there’s always bagpipes!
Some songs are best listened to at 2 AM.
Oh yeah I used to study for my university tests back then and usually turn on the radio and was playing a powerful song like this or maybe teard for fears, foreigner etc
Yes.
Saw this comment at almost exactly 2am. Can confirm.
As I listen to this here at 2:40am...how bout that
2:26am. 😉🌛🌚🪐💫
Most underrated band ever in Australia just awesome back then and today just perfect 👍
I'm Australian...under the milky way. Tonight.
Me too
And in view of the Southern Cross
Though I’m about 8,955 mi. (as the crow flies) from Sydney, I too am under the Milky Way tonight. Such a beautiful song! 🇺🇸(Columbia, Missouri). Might be moving to Ozland soon. gotta get out of this insane asylum called the U.S. after 68 years I’ve had my fill !!!
There’s a rumour in my messages today Palais theatre tickets are on sale ❤
Aussie here too, we are blessed to see the Milky Way, it’s too light saturated in America
nearly 60 and still loving it...
Respect Bro, live long & prosper
Bruce, I first heard this in 1989 and it still gets me. So amazing.
57 years young, and I still love this song, too! I first heard this song back about 1988, and I've listened to it quite a few times since. The video/song package put together here works perfectly! It's kind of a peaceful song to listen to.
51 and loving it. I was 19 when this came out I think.
So lovely to drift off into a different world while listening to this masterpiece!
@James fine thank you! How about you?
One of the best songs ever written. I've been listening to it for almost thirty years now.
Wow 30 Years!!! That"s awesome!!!1
Never get tired of this song. I still play at least once a week. Still gets me every time. Steve Kilbey's voice is one of the best.
Me 2!
I've been listening forever 2!
I recently discovered that this song has been covered by at least 30 different bands
I used to listen to this song in my first apartment. Looking out over the street.. Dreaming of a better time
💖💛💜💙
Did your dream come to fruition?
I hope you found a better time. I wish I could find one.
Yeah but I diddn't live over the street. -Just having a tug LOL
And they came to you I bet...
I live where you can go about 3 miles out of the town & the skyline & Milky Way looks exactly like this. I love it. I could never live anywhere where the lights of the city obscure the night sky. 💗💓
Can you tell me where to go too see a night sky like that?
Takes me back to a time in my life wss just simple and happier times id go back in a second right now!!
This is such a great classic. I feel like I'm in another time and place when I hear this.
Oh yea? You and me both.
same here
CurvyAries 😍
CurvyAries was in another time And plc 🌈🌈
Yes agreed !!!
Ok had just moved to Wisconsin in the winter of 1988 -from the south, and this song become a frequently played song on the radio - it hit me so close and became one of my favorite songs !
This song reminds me I have a soul. That there is something bigger than me and beautiful. I'm so blessed to be alive in this great vast of stars.
Mom and gramma I feel you when I look at the stars,. Miss you both so very much.

❤❤🌌
Same, dear, same.

I miss my 2 younger brothers ~💚~
PEACE AND Love~
Donnie Darko...Such an incredible ending. It's one of these movies that get you someplace you'd never have expected - like "From Dusk till Dawn" or "Runaway train".
Hauntingly beautiful song that invokes memories of sun,surf,partying in the 80s,and the remorse of love lost in days past
If there was a list for the top 10 Australian songs ever, this would be No. 1 !....always reminds me of my father who separated from my mum and my little brother, when I was 4 and then no contact at all for 20 years, until I finally met him again in Sydney in May 1986 (the same month my mother passed away from stomach cancer at 49) All that time, from when he left us, he lived the rest of life in Australia - never married again and no more kids, basically wandering around the country, with various jobs and businesses, even prospecting in the outback on his own. I got to know him a little better in the last 20 years when he retired to Whyalla, South Australia, until he passed away at 86 in early 2019. I did a few visits there and this song would always be playing, driving between Whyalla and Adelaide to catch an early plane, while I would gaze out up into the sky at the reddish, gold sunrise, over that expansive land that seemed to go on forever, wondering how it might have or have not of been ?
Thank you for sharing what this song means to you. God Bless you.
Wow, well said. Life takes many twists and turns. I'm glad you reconnected with your dad after losing your mum.
Did that early Whyalla to Adelaide run many times, in an Avis. Probably followed you.Always a red Corolla Hatchback. Flight back to Sydney. And yes, like you I marveled at that red gold sunrise as I drove. Would have been in the years 87 to 93. Iron Triange memories. Red dust days.
Wish I could go back again. I rolled the dice so many times back then and always won.
We all wonder what might have been. Life is a rolling dice of decisions.
Take care mate.
Su vida fue poesía pura. Saludos señor.
Great song, beautiful film clip.
One of the best night time driving songs ...
Indeed...
Absolutely, absolute! My 1st choice always!
Yep good song
A hot rod barrelling down a dark country road.
Came here to find this comment.
How the hell can I remember lyrics from 30+ years ago, but cannot remember what happened last week?
Underrated,underplayed,but one of the most exquisite sounds I've heard in my era.
Cosmic traveler, may you find your spirit soul...
Same. Can remember whole albums, but forget why I walk in kitchen. Lmao.
Agreed!!!!😜
I could have sworn this song had been released MUCH MORE RECENTLY than 1988... it must be so timeless and it must have entered the pop/rock stream of consciousness so quickly and become embedded so deeply that it sounds "contemporary" even decades later.
Yeah, it’s one of THOSE songs.
Nostalgia is the best pain there is.😔
Beruška Vozábová sometimes it weighs me down so, I can’t breathe
I'm not sure, the older i get the heavier and more painful it becomes... God how i miss my youth.
And it also brings the reality of how what was so long ago wasn’t really that long ago at all...And it becomes sadder because you realize that you’re not getting out of here alive
Beruška Vozábová3 Great comment...
Beruška Vozábová Well said
wtf? I stumbled across this in a random way, and i'm in tears!
Me too
Right me too
I also by accident and I just love the tune ….
Wow I envy you !!!
Welcome to real musicians.... and I hope it becomes a favorite for you
What a beautiful song. Could listen to it over and over. Lyrics and music are awesome.
I don't know why but every time I listen to this song I cry. It touches something unexplainable. Thankyou The Church for such a beautiful and lasting song.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Pienso lo mismo.
concur!!
+Chairman Meow Donnie Darko ! One of the Best movie i ever seen...
In 2001, the song was featured in the soundtrack for the movie, Donnie Darko. In 2006, it was performed with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Kilbey said after the performance that it was as if the song had been made for the occasion, though in his blog he was critical of the Commonwealth Games as an event. In September 2008, readers of The Weekend Australian Magazine voted it as the best Australian song of the last 20 years.
Fred Mertz Wasn't a fan of Donnie Darko.
When the bagpipe kind of reverses in to the song, that’s when I get the chills. The only example of bagpipes being effectively used in contemporary music. Love this song.
AC/DC used them
@@elliotoliver8679 they did. Both the church and AC/DC WERE Australian bands. I know. The church’s use of the bagpipes in under the Milky Way is the only song I know of where the bagpipes are used in a way I personally enjoy hearing.
It is not bagpipes its a synthesiser
@@corrinthe synthesised bagpipes or bagpipes with effects placed on them. I still stand by my statement 😊
@@elhorrendo7026 what you said was "use of the bagpipes".... don't say "use of bagpipes" when there were no bagpipes used ok?
An ebow was used on a guitar and recorded through a synclavier synthesizer, one can only guess why they chose this BAGPIPE SOUND, perhaps inspired by Scottish band Big Country had achieved a similar sound on their single “In a Big Country” a few years before. so El Horrendo, if you ever discuss this again make sure you say "use of The Church's "bagpipe affect" ..."....then everyone will know you are not confused or misinformed. All the best.
Love this song but it really makes my heart hurt.
Try a lady of a certain age the define comedy
Brings the '80s back when I was safe and sound in my bed, and mom and dad were alive to always be there for me. Now, it just seems it's me and everyone else is gone, and I'm all alone.
Hauntingly, eerily beautful
ABSOLUTE DESCRIPTION OF IT:))
Wow, what a lovely, sad sigh of a song, so full of beauty, mystery and unfulfillable longing. Hauntingly gorgeous.
Ween
Tuan Jim what a beautiful description!! pretty much sums it up!!! Yes, one of the 80s *best* acoustic masterpieces indeed
Well said.
Tuan Jim
Tuan gremhermsom
Mind = blown! The magic feeling of being at peace with the universe in that one moment of time and love. Goosebumps.
Love this music back is Dark for 2018
Amazing song
Makes me wonder if our next life will exist in the stars...Brilliant song.
I recall hearing this song shortly after my then-girlfriend and I made love for the first time, and it seemed so perfect, even prophetic after what had just happened between us. At any rate, we've been happily married for 30 years this past August, so it must've augured well for us! ROCK ON, fellow "Boomers!"
Plenty of young people know this song well like myself. Particularly here in Australia it's one of the best known songs of the era.
R ock on Brother !!!
This song...Makes me sad and nostalgic for the old me. Old me being a teenager in the 80s, of living in an era that is as ancient today as the 30s was in the 80s.
Someone pointed this out the other day: the 60's were to the 80's, as the 80's are to today.
They were good and simple times to be sure.
No how you feel time flys and there’s never enough I hope I see retirement in a few years but who knows what’s going to happen from day tc day in this crazy world and let me say the past 25 has been a ride
My best year was 1983 some of the best music and movies came out that year
It's hard to believe that the '80's, were 40 years ago, going back through 1980! It makes me feel old, every time that I think about it! I was in the 3rd Grade, just when this song was on the charts! Regardless, I still love the '80's! It's hard to believe that I just turned 42, on January 31st! Thankfully, I don't have too much gray hair!
Sitting in the spa with a joint at 11pm looking into space listening to this song still brings a tear to my eye. An absolutely beautiful song
Who remembers listening to this as a kid in the 80's because our parents would play it and thinking why are we listening to this over and over...but now it all makes sense because I wanna go back to those days when everything made sense and life wasn't so hard
Now 44 years old and I find myself listening to all the old music I remember as a child
My no.1 tune of all time. Always takes me back when i was 6, laying down across the backseat of my parents Ford fairlane LTD driving back home in north queensland and looking up through the side windows staring at the milky way while this played on the radio. some time in the mid 80s
Still an unbelievable song 40 something years later
This song literally grips every sense of emotion I have.
Rick Koontz yes, me too
It hits me. Hard.
Another masterpiece from the 80's
Brings back childhood memories
Childhood memories! Cracking me up!
Del Shoemaker it makes sense to some of us.. I was 11 when this came out.. when I was into skateboards, and finding fascinating non-Top 40 music was rarer in my neck of the woods..
I had just turned 18 when this song was released, how I wish I could go back in time🌌🇦🇺
This music calm me down , and gives me comfort and solace , and heals my sorrow and worry .
We are always with the Lord .
Yes 🙏🏼🙌🏼❣

In Japan , the Emperor changed .

So true. I couldn’t agree more. I adore and treasure this song so much. The Church is truly a blessing. 🙏

Jesus..."Wish I knew what you were looking for" takes me back to late May of '88 at SIU. Semester was over, I was all packed and ready for dad to arrive the next day to bring me home for the summer. Went to The Tap with some friends and hit it off with a dark haired girl with gorgeous eyes who eventually brought me back to her place. And as the above lyrics were being sung she grasped me and guided me into her. Perfect end to junior year. I'm old...
Beaytiful story !!!
Holy Connole
10 seconds in and ALL I can think 🤔 is: THIS Should have been their Music Video!!! Yes! I was alive and in the 8th grade when this song came out!☺️
So happy to have discovered them FINALLY THIS 2024!!!!
All these years I never knew of them and ❤ this song and their beautiful music .
OMG they are a hidden gem no more!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Who gives this a thumbs down? They know not what they hear 👂 I love the bagpipe-like solo...and the title/atmosphere. Missed this when I was a kid in the 80’s but was lucky to catch it on my local college radio this morning 🤟
They practised on the cat 😊haha :) Not really.
The Milky Way views from the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. Fantastic!!!
Great song
All time favorite❤
Not a whole lot of rock/pop 80s groups had the balls to include discordant bagpipes in their songs…
This is my favorite song of all times.
Me too.amazing song
+Myriam Framboise Im looking for someone just like you
mine too..
Beautiful and sad at the same time.
Myriam F. Good taste in music you have. :\
This song is what Sydney felt like in the 80's.. really magical time.
Was a great place and time to be alive.
I know they're from Australia but for me it reminds me of southern California especially surfing my home town of San Clemente. The sun getting low turning the water gold, orange, redish. Just thinking about the day...
