Ummm since when is that an echoing to Tony singing Gold-After he sings it-You can tell they are different voices that do it and more than 1 voice + sang in a different way- It is the Kemp brothers and also do it in the music video and when they play live-So very confused here
Love how stylish & sophisticated british pop groups were in the 80s. They put as much effort into their image as they did their music. But its the music that still stands the test of time.
@@user-zc5ft9nw9b I disagree. Spandau in their day were an average teenybop band with one number one record in the UK called True. I don't recall one person at School or outside of school ( showing my age!) who liked Spandau. They liked Wham! George Michael, some liked Duran Duran and Madonna and Genisis and Peter Gabrial and U2. They were admired by people in their late teenage years and early twenties. I think it was those suits! Spandau had Gary Kemp. He was the talent. Honestly they are so overrated.I have read about court cases that are involving copyright and royalties and fallouts in this band. They say it is common in bands but the impression given back in the day is they were such good pals. You couldn't imagine that they'd have these business issues years later.
Imagine entering the most beautiful discoteque in the 80s in Rome: a little Greek temple rebuild into a huge hall, sparkling lights, beutiful people and Gold being played high volume. It was like being in a modern fairy tale. Unforgettable
I was only 10 when this was made but I always loved this song! Lots of songs i never saw the clips or even who sang it ha ha. Did not watch much MTV. Mostly radio. I only lke the music of that time and what my parents loved when they where young, 70's music. I stoped listening music after I was 20 for religious reason, but i did not miss a thing!! I heard all the great songs untill 1994. After that it was not much anyway.
I was madly in love with the Spandau boys since with 80’s l had the hots for all of them, especially gorgeous Tony and Steve, ❤❤❤ they were the GOLDen boys of the 80”s, l saw them in concert when they came to Melbourne Australia in 1983, front row and I touchedTony’s hand! And that much is true😁❤️❤️
Def not the best of the British lmfao 🤣🤣 they achieved that in the 60s and 70s. The 80s and onward were merely a reprisal. Many were great in their time, but most didn't last beyond a one hit wonder.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger, IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake, and RADIO GA-GA by Queen in tribute to the age of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Stay safe and keep on rocking in the '020s.
Love Stephen Bunting’s rendition of this, gave us all laugh and he smashed it. But hearing the original again has blown me away at how good his voice is. He has proper matched the notes, he’s got natural singing ability like his darts skills.
I'll never forget meeting Tony Hadley, I was nineteen years old, in the army and on my first tour (of Bosnia). He had come out to perform for the soldiers as part of a moral boosting thing. Being the modest guy that he is, he had decided to put combat 95's on with a WO1 rank slide and a RLC berret. Me being a naive teenager walked past him siting with a large group of soldiers, and I decide to brace up and say "good afternoon sir" (which was custom when confronted with someone of that rank, especially as a private). Of course everyone burst out with laughter to my astonishment, and he introduced himself to me in a casual cockney way. A great guy and a great performer, I'll never forget him singing this song in a hanger in Sipovo.
+green9832 I don't understand a word of your gibberish. army people can't write a sentence without using some abbreviation nobody outside the army understands. what is WO1 and what is RLC? what is a combat 95?
WO1= Warrant officer class 1, RLC= Royal logistics corps and combat 95= a particular issue of uniform that was created in 1995 but wasn't issued to most people for at least another 5 years. It was DPM (disruptive patterned material AKA camo! A simple google search should have revealed this.
+green9832 As for you I salute you and thank you for your service! Bloody hilarious story and great opportunity to get a boost of Light in what was a horrible place. Much respect to you!
I always loved the way that these guys dressed. It was very classy. Their music was great! It was something you could really listen to without getting a headache! I really miss those days.
Maybe you're just not looking in the right places. I find good modern music pretty often. Or you can just get back on your rocking chair on the porch and mumble more about the good ol days
A timeless classic. It's a shame that Spandau never did a Bond movie theme. They would've created a masterpiece for View To A Kill in 1985 or The Living Daylights in 1987.
Duran Duran's A View To A Kill slaps tho. Nah that needed to exist that. Legendary song. I'm 21 and never watched the movie but I know the movie exists because of that song man aha.
Assuming you listened to it in its entirety, that would be: 11,600,000,000 seconds 193,333,333 and a third minutes 3,222,222.2 hours 134,259.3 days Or 367.83 years This song came out in 1983. You sir, just lied.

@@victorialevy431 Yeah, very handsome, Ms. Levy. My late aunt (mom's younger sis) had a 4' x 5' wall poster of the band in her bedroom. It was next to one of the same dimensions of Duran Duran😂 lol.

The fuckin 80s man, what a decade, I was born in 85 but wish I had been a teen back then to experience 80s discos and all that, 80s was such an epic time❤
"Love is like a high prison wall, you can leave me standing so tall....." One of the best lines ever......what a great and emotional sequence in this song.
i think the whole song is about his celebration of his lover's return. and by "your love is like a high prison wall" means that the love somewhat confined him, but also forcibly make him standing tall, eager to look beyond the wall. and thus, he's feeling really alive again.
I think standing tall has to do with a man's anatomy/sexual desires....maybe a challenge turns him on (a high prison wall/a woman who is not easy, a woman who requires some brain work to woo).....imho
oh hi maddy!! lol great to see you here. I come back to this song all the time since I'm a gorillaz fan and this was used in mtv cribs. I love this song so much too ^∆^
@@mercurybarz heyyyy!! that’s so awesome! Do you know how there was that one corona stage school spotlight book video? Well this was the song used for the Italia Conti stage school from that same channel, and that’s how I’m here :)
It's a shame that record companies won't entertain good bands now, they just want urban rap, or at the very worst - artists that made it on entertainment 'talent' shows when they were 16, and still won't have the decency to f*ck off.
One of the strongest spiritual heartly messages in a song, ever. Both visually and words wise. See how careful he puts the dove on to her body to complete her, and how careful he puts in his mosaic to complete his soul. I can learn alot from that…❤️🙏
I am from Rome, Italy. The memory of this amazing band is still very present. 10 yrs ago two girls from the local University of Performing Arts wrote their thesis on Spandau Ballet. An unforgettable band, an amazing voice and Tony had a unique charm.
I had a poster of them when I was in middle school back in the early 80s, Ms. Frattini. I remember back in '83 there was supposed to be a short (I think 3 weeks long??) tour of the U.K. with ABC that didn't come about for whatever reason. That was a good and underrated British group I liked, also, ma'am👍
Our sister was crazy over Tony Hadley and I would tease her over it! He seemed too theatrical and ridiculously handsome like a matinee idol. Cant believe that we took his enormous talent for granted. It seemed everyone back then could sing. Now I truly appreciate that Tony is more than a pretty face.
Graham Wilkins Are they back together again then every time I hear about them they're breaking up which is a shame because I think they're fantastic band and like you say brilliant voice
@@t1000eg Sadly they broke up for good a few years ago. They had an issue with royalties in the 1990s which caused a split. Tony rejoined in 2009 and they performed again for a few years but he wanted an arrangement similar to Phil Collins and Genesis whereby he could have his own career but rejoin the band when required. The rest of the band didn't want this so in July 2017 Tony decided to leave for good so sadly, they are no more in their original line up. I believe the rest of the band have found a new singer but, for me, there is no Spandau Ballet without Tony. Most of the musical arrangements can be played by others but there is no replacing that voice. There were some artists which, for me at least, represented the "soundtrack" of the 80s, as well as defining the "feel" of that time. Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Human League, George Michael, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, etc. I have nothing but really happy memories of this time and every time I hear these artists it makes me smile and feel good. And before you ask, yes, I have the complete DVD boxed set of Miami Vice!
I've never seen or heard this one before. I'm very impressed and felt goosebumps from 2:51 to 3:51. His vocals are so powerful wow, me as a gen z I had no idea this song ever existed. definitely a thumbs up for this one.
@@GabrielleCenter2000hard to find modern day songs that encapsulate the essence of self-love while maintaining an undeniable element of coolness, right? I love the 80’s. Born in ‘96 myself, but man, do I have a powerful auditory connection to the 80’s. I’m pleasantly surprised to see Gen Z vibing with this song. It’s fkn awesome!
That's the difference between many good 80's songs/bands as compared to today. Today's popular music is pretty much narrowed down to urban/rap and MOR rock - they follow a narrow fashion, no room for experimentation.
I don't know what is more surprising: that the song is 36 years old, or that it's still as great and fresh as it was the first time I heard it on "Friday Night Videos"in January 1984. I wanna go back to the 80's.

i dont understand this line can you explain its meaning ?
i think the whole song is about his celebration of his lover's return.
and by "your love is like a high prison wall" means that the love somewhat confined him, but also forcibly make him standing tall, eager to look beyond the wall. and thus, he's feeling really alive again.
I think standing tall has to do with a man's anatomy/sexual desires....maybe a challenge turns him on (a high prison wall/a woman who is not easy, a woman who requires some brain work to woo).....imho
that soft voice that says gold after the main vocal just...YASS
umafazlic280 yassssss!!!
@Tommy Hass Why are you so angry ? Like who shat in your cereal ?
It's not that serious to call someone out for that. Listen to the damn music.
Tommy Hass Perhaps annoyed, irritated is more accurate?.. 😊
Después de años, lo volví encontrar, como amo está canción ❤
This is my favorite song ever…I wasn’t around in the 80s but I sure love it so much! It empowers me :)
I am not surprised. 😂
oh hi maddy!! lol great to see you here. I come back to this song all the time since I'm a gorillaz fan and this was used in mtv cribs.
I love this song so much too ^∆^
@@mercurybarz heyyyy!! that’s so awesome! Do you know how there was that one corona stage school spotlight book video? Well this was the song used for the Italia Conti stage school from that same channel, and that’s how I’m here :)
I was only 10 in 1983. I always loved this song.
🤝❤
This song is so sophisticated, and it sounds as fresh as it did in 1984. 🇦🇺
It's a shame that record companies won't entertain good bands now, they just want urban rap, or at the very worst - artists that made it on entertainment 'talent' shows when they were 16, and still won't have the decency to f*ck off.
My dad like Spandau ballet:
He ALWAYS BE-LEAVING
And this comment is like the song....gold.
Fabian Salah Oh yeah !
Jimmy Miotke😂
F
My dads dead
Spandau Ballet...Let's start the show. Masterpiece
Spandau ballet, Duran Duran, AHa ..... the trinity of emerald music
Nobody brought me here. Just classic
same
Just Love :)
I sung this song to the best teacher I ever had when she was leaving the school and she cried and now I am crying
It's a great song after all.
Exactamente XD
Came here after hearing it on a video from Abroad in Japan. A very beautiful song.
yeah same
Which video?
One of the strongest spiritual heartly messages in a song, ever. Both visually and words wise. See how careful he puts the dove on to her body to complete her, and how careful he puts in his mosaic to complete his soul. I can learn alot from that…❤️🙏
I think the whole world should learn to love and respect each other, otherwise we are all doomed.
💖💖💖
my mans gave it his all ☠
But why does her hand fall down after he completed both her and his soul? If feels as if the clip isn't synchronized with the song.
@@dordonake dude he's stealing his gold back from her. He killed her lol
I'm a 90's baby but im a big fan of Spandau Ballet❤ Greetings from 🇵🇭
👋
@@neilferguson8702 yes?
I am from Rome, Italy. The memory of this amazing band is still very present. 10 yrs ago two girls from the local University of Performing Arts wrote their thesis on Spandau Ballet. An unforgettable band, an amazing voice and Tony had a unique charm.
I had a poster of them when I was in middle school back in the early 80s, Ms. Frattini. I remember back in '83 there was supposed to be a short (I think 3 weeks long??) tour of the U.K. with ABC that didn't come about for whatever reason. That was a good and underrated British group I liked, also, ma'am👍
Both of them bands had unique and distinctive sounds
I agree ... they are unique, indestructible😍
@@AugustoCeccarelli Absolutely, Mr. Ceccarelli👍😇
The commercials played this music for women having a period, and it's a great song. 👏😺
this song gives me the best 80's vibes and it is a masterpiece♡
Same,It’s even better when driving to it in GTA Vice City Wave 103 radio because of the 80s Miami environment.
faxxxxxx
and reminds me of LCLC
@@keouraii same💀
Just like this music, the 80's were gold
unless you had AIDS
Tornerei subito indietro.. meravigliosi anni 80!!! Grandissimi Spandau!
Concordo.
eeee...Filippo bella epoca
e noi eravamo giovanissimi!!!!
MTV cribs introduced me to this banger. Give a like if you know who’s house they toured!!!
Murdoc is a nob -Dennis Hopper
REAL EGYPTIAN SILK
Gta Vice City introduced me to this 🖤
The Gorillaz ❣🔥🔥🔥🔥
gta vice city :v
I remember seeing this guy live. It was absolutely gold!
SUPERB VOICE.
Love Tony Hadley, I'm meeting him soon 😍😍😍
@@midnightwitch606 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tony Hadley had butt sex with my ex girlfriends cousin Simon
And,indestructible.
This one is actually my favorite song of theirs. It's got that "80s charm" I miss so much. "Gold."
My mum played this every day when she was pregnant (not with me, my sister) and she still loves this today!
Bless her, your and your sister's soul! 💗
You should ask mum what she played when she was pregnant with!
This is not for pregnat women sound sick do
Our sister was crazy over Tony Hadley and I would tease her over it! He seemed too theatrical and ridiculously handsome like a matinee idol. Cant believe that we took his enormous talent for granted. It seemed everyone back then could sing. Now I truly appreciate that Tony is more than a pretty face.
GOLD
Always believe in your Soul,
You’ve got the power to know
You’re indestructable
Always believe in
You are GOLD!
🙏🙏🙏☀️🌈☀️😘😎💟🕉
Significa oro
Off topic, but I love your pfp. Yuna is the best.
Ok
Ok
Ok
The extended version is amazing.. Love this track, Spandau Ballet was one of my favorites 80’s band..
that man can sing !!
Tony Hadley is his name...😊
Saw his concert last night. If anything the voice is stronger. One of the greatest of pop singers, up there with George Michael.
Graham Wilkins Are they back together again then every time I hear about them they're breaking up which is a shame because I think they're fantastic band and like you say brilliant voice
@@t1000eg Sadly they broke up for good a few years ago. They had an issue with royalties in the 1990s which caused a split. Tony rejoined in 2009 and they performed again for a few years but he wanted an arrangement similar to Phil Collins and Genesis whereby he could have his own career but rejoin the band when required. The rest of the band didn't want this so in July 2017 Tony decided to leave for good so sadly, they are no more in their original line up. I believe the rest of the band have found a new singer but, for me, there is no Spandau Ballet without Tony. Most of the musical arrangements can be played by others but there is no replacing that voice.
There were some artists which, for me at least, represented the "soundtrack" of the 80s, as well as defining the "feel" of that time. Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Human League, George Michael, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, etc. I have nothing but really happy memories of this time and every time I hear these artists it makes me smile and feel good. And before you ask, yes, I have the complete DVD boxed set of Miami Vice!
The singer has such a great voice - powerful!
I've never seen or heard this one before. I'm very impressed and felt goosebumps from 2:51 to 3:51. His vocals are so powerful wow, me as a gen z I had no idea this song ever existed. definitely a thumbs up for this one.
Check out the extended version. Even better!
@@DougS-kb8fx as a matter of fact, I heard that one a few weeks ago while fixing my bed. ☺👍
@@GabrielleCenter2000hard to find modern day songs that encapsulate the essence of self-love while maintaining an undeniable element of coolness, right? I love the 80’s. Born in ‘96 myself, but man, do I have a powerful auditory connection to the 80’s. I’m pleasantly surprised to see Gen Z vibing with this song. It’s fkn awesome!
@@Alexandrius_Caesar yep, there's also a lot of people round my age on Instagram who love 80s stuff too. ☺
I thought I was the only one who loved that part, even that ascending piano scale....sheesh
I hesitate to say it, but this song is even more relevant in 2024 than it was in 1983. Who is with me--who is Gold?!
esatto troppo doc❤❤❤
grazi! @@carmineverdicchio5695
Grazi! @@carmineverdicchio5695
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤚✌🤞👍👏
It's not easy to write a great pop song. Like this. Trust me, this is a very masterpiece. It will last over the years...
It will last forever!!!!!!
It will last as long as there's still GOLD! 😆!
Ha un'armonia estremamente raffinata, non così semplice come le classiche canzoni pop
Who else thinks that breakdown with the congos is just funky & unexpected
I love it ❤❤❤
That's the difference between many good 80's songs/bands as compared to today.
Today's popular music is pretty much narrowed down to urban/rap and MOR rock - they follow a narrow fashion, no room for experimentation.
My favorite song from Spandau Ballet
Whether you know it from GTA or from your youth, thank you Spandau Ballet for this timeless piece of art
One of the most agonisingly awesome songs of the 80's!!!!! Feel so fortunate to have grown up in that era with such iconic bands!!!
GREAT DAYS, SADLY NOMORE.😥
I agree, and if you are a masochist, try listening to current pop music.................
I don't know what is more surprising: that the song is 36 years old, or that it's still as great and fresh as it was the first time I heard it on "Friday Night Videos"in January 1984. I wanna go back to the 80's.
Best era overall
@@Sakura011 nah I love 2020
Ok
Can I come with you, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE.
My heart is breaking
I listen to Tony every day since lockdown!!!!
My mom had another stroke July 2

Its really really hard for me to visit my mom at the cemetery every week
@@gabrielamontesdeoca8359 i also lost my mom 4 years ago, it’s something hard I was so close to her, i still miss her every day and even on holidays is worse, but life goes on, and we have to carry on, and remember the best times we had 🥀🕊
Hauntingly beautiful song and Tony is too.
One of the best male singer ever!
My favourite group when I was a teenager. Tony Hadley what a voice!
