    Toronto in the 80's. Back then you had to grab a Now Magazine or look at posters tacked on poles as you wondered through Kensington Market to find out which concert was playing where. Or listen to CHUM or CFNY. We managed to get by quite well without internet and smart phones. Seems like the simpler times were the best times.

      Amen!!! Very well said!!! Cheers from Canada Toronto Ontario! I’m from the west end near the Etobicoke border. I miss so much about the ‘80’s but really the ‘60’s - ‘2000’s have been great times for music and movies but a lot of other things as well!

      @@lillymarchand4970 The 60's and onward? I'm a resident of Northern Ontario, but I have memories of Ontario Place from my childhood. But later on when I'd go to Toronto in the 80's I'd be in my '83 Celica GT with a Clarion cassette deck, 6 speakers and 2 amps. Many memories, but one thing that's ingrained in my mind is heading in on the 400 in the evening, seeing the CN Tower in the distance, tuned into CFNY and hearing the intro to Subdivision suddenly booming through my speakers. To be young again.
      Cheers my friend.

    Rise Up, by The Parachute Club, is my favourite song, by far! I’m a Gen Zeder and to me, this song is instrumentally inspiring and lyrically universal. Their lyrics represent the goal to continuously work towards a peaceful and together world. This song reminds me that we are getting to a world of unlimited and mutual understanding, where differences don’t affect interactions!

    This song makes me happy and sad at the same time. It's such a powerful message and it brings me back to those days and where we were and to today in 2022. People have opened their eyes to acceptance but In some ways it seems we've crawled backwards and the world is still full of hate,.. just look at the hate on social media, racism, bullying, and homophobia the minute people disagree they start being outright mean. When I hear this song or see the video it makes me feel strong and kinda hopeful that we're still moving n the right direction because of messages like this. That's why it's a timeless and amazing song. :)

    As of August 18/2022, I am hearing this song as it is playing on a repeat of the canceled Canadian Show called 'The Rick Mercer Report' on the CBC Network*. Rick Mercer has traveled to Fort McMurray/Alberta to visit Students at Father Mecredi High School, because the Students raised more than $10,000 for Rick's 'Spread The Net' Challenge, that will go to purchasing Nets for the People of Africa to protect Themselves from Mosquitos which carry Malaria. It was only fitting that They would play this upbeat song as the Young People at the High School were dancing around singing this song from the Canadian Group The Parachute Club*.

    I found an old cassette playing "Walkman"(not a Walkman brand) and popped in a homemade cassette labeled "P. C. I - Do Not tape over". I couldn't remember what it was about. It was a Parachute Club interview from the radio station C.K.O.C. It was great fun to listen to the songs, and what the thoughts of the time were. I made this tape in 1983 :D
    I was probably sitting in my room, waiting for my song to come on so I could tape it. I was definitely hoping the D.J. didn't talk over the start, or cut the ending off, to Rise Up.
    This video version brings me back to Canada in the 80's, and the music of my teens. Songs by Canadian artists like Glass Tiger and The Parachute Club, send me back.

    I'm noticing the music is a little different from the original video/album (it sounds like a remixed version). Little subtleties like the guitar riff at 2:10 is different. One of the dancers in the video is wearing a Supertramp t- shirt I'm guessing from their concert the played at CNE Stadium on 08/24/1983.
