I'm 49, living at my mum's, lost everything and I have to start all over again. But there's only one way and the only way is up. Keep your head up wherever you are and whatever you're goin through, the only way is up
This song literally saved my life - in the late 80s, I was suffering from undiadgnosed severe clinical depression, but every time I heard this tune, I got the mental strength to continue - I am now 58, and as fully recovered as one can be fron this affliction......
Same thing happened to me in my teenage years, during the Disco era! The power of music is enormous. Every day was like "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life!"
Listening to part of this song, when it comes on the radio, makes me more depressed. So much of this tune/song and voice is wrong. But, if it helped you, then fair enough...
Sorry for your loss luv, ❤️XxX, just playing this now remembering my own mum who passed 7 years today July 29th this was one of her favs and we also played this song for her with others at her funeral too, can still see her in the kitchen dancing and singing to this as she was cooking when I was growing up,great uplifting song to remember the great times 😊God bless
john hardy thank you so much for your lovely message. I’m so sorry not to have replied sooner. And I’m sorry for your loss, It must be so difficult on anniversaries. Our Mums had good taste in music, I have similar memories of my Mum dancing in the kitchen. We were singing and dancing while this played at Mums funeral and it just felt so right. Thank you again for your message, it touched my heart, take care xxx
When this song came out I was 18. Played in every night club and all my friends cars. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to happier, carefree days.
I was 16 in 88....just finished senior school....was starting my apprenticeship in a few weeks went on a family seaside holiday.....this song was coming out of every shop along the seaside walll.....loved it ever since.......
Love this track & all the positivity on the comments section. This track takes me straight back to high school circa 1987. The track is alongside bros, hugh & cry, wet wet wet, and so on. I hope all folks from this era are still out there, solving their problems, but, most of all, having fun. We thought those days would never end. Sadly, they inevitably did. Anyway, stay positive, strong and focused. Much love, from a 48-year-old in West central Scotland.
Wait, I'm 47 and I was in high school from 1991-1995. You're a year older than me, yet your high school years were 8 years sooner than mine? Best case your years were 4 years sooner than mine? I was 14 in 1991.
Impossible not to cry with this song, too beautiful and voice just wonderful, I was just a 7-year-old child at that time, today I'm a 41-year-old uncle, which nostalgic...
I never met her but I always imagined her to be full of fun and energy. Not the limelight craving person who has to be centre of attention all the time.
This song is sparkling with positive vibe, very dynamic and lovely. Superb times to live in and enjoy life. The atmosphere from 80´ies and 90´ies was so optimistic and beautiful. It became part of my being and will last for a whole lifetime.
@@bioshock6935 The 80s was incredible for music. There has always been great and not so great songs. This never changes and I have been a musician since my first guitar and then piano. Stock Aitken And Waterman (SAW) wrote shit loads of great songs. Even '''I Should Be So Lucky'' was a very well written song. Even if you don't like it it doesn't change the facts 'cause many people loved it. The 80s brought about the use of synths with 100s of sounds stored in their presets. This gave so much colour to songs the The Beatles certainly didn't enjoy and these synths soundscapes were easy to access at the push of a button.
The vibe of 80´ies and 90´ies music was like a fresh wind. I had been in the "magic" age at that time. I mean - the teen period then the yearly 20´ies in personal grow up is a kind of a "magic" time period. Discovery of the world, reality, finding friends, like and dislikes in own life, search for a partner, finding own purpose, job, shaping own reality is a thrilling time, has its own energy level and hunger for more. Growing up in 80´ies and have the fresh music energy from then was a great background. Back in 1920´ies when Jazz took the world that phenomenon back then energized people to a new kind of to be together and ejoy time together. It was a fresh wind from Jazz back then when the good time together got a new shape. 50´ies and 60´ies music got a new "BANG" with electric instruments added. 70´ies, "BANG" experimenting with electronic instruments. Big movement in societies. Then the 80´ies and 90´ies, my "magic" age. Then 2000 end now, explosion of the amount of music creators and a time where music genres get mixed and create interesting hybrids. The quality in sound recording got so much better in the last 20 years or so, too. The vibe from 80´ies was so friendly and like a never ending party time for me. Stumbling forward with excitement, affection and discovery.
It's funny, as the 80's was peak cold war - going to school on the bus we joked about the 4 minute warning and knew that was how we would die before becoming adults. The optimism is in response to the oppression and fear.
Who was to think in the future wed look back at the 80s with puppy eyes and wish to be back listening to bangers like this , what a time the 80s were man
I was 20 that time ,and i was in army with no choice ,cause at 80's every young man had to go in Poland . No good time for me , but i remember that song listened on very poor radio reciever ... Now when i recall that It seems to be the best time in my life , after so many years , stupid but it's a true ... Sorry for errors .
Say what you like, but this song is so positive and helpful particularly for anyone who has ever felt uncertain about the past, present and the future. Today is a gift.
Awwwwww! Me and the missus took our first ever holiday to this tune when it was charting. North Wales, tiny tent, making the whole thing swing to this tune as we drove too fast accross the hills, singing along. I haven't heard it for at least a decade and it still makes me hugely happy!!!! Yazz saw, she sung, she conquered!
Oh the 80's !! what a decade to be pampered by Brit pops. Watching TOTP on TV, reading Smash Hits, Just 17, Record Mirror magazines. It was so so good back then. We knew how good we had it but sadly it didn't last long enough.

Jazz’s face was on all the monitors on the Paris Metro at that time - a beautiful time. My husband, a finished artist, was seconded there to work on a major account & this track & Jazz’ smile filled me with elation. Jazz, hope you’re still moving up in life & many thanks, JaneR
Souvenir de l'année 1988!! Excellente chanson de Yazz!✨ J'adore!!❤️❤️❤️ Méga carton en France; Top 50 numéro 4 des ventes 45 Tours !!✨ Voix unique et grande styliste de Georges Michael !!✨✨✨✨
was having a shit day @ work recently & this fantastic eighties classic came on the Radio cheered me up no end I remember it being number 1 in 1988 still sounds absolutely brilliant today as it did all those years ago
OMG this was the BEST song to dance to at the Village Station in Dallas in the 90's every body in the bar would be on the dance floor...because of the confetti cannons going off into the crowd while we danced like crazy...😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
@@bjorno2080 disco, house, techno, trance, dubstep.. are all cut from the same cloth!?? It’s like arguing about Trap vs Rap. Don’t try to pull me into an argument. I don’t have time for this b.s lol I was in Afterhrs spots 20 years ago not knowing what was blasting my eardrums but I grew kin to the sound. Sorry for not knowing every little TECHNICal name and genres but they are all under the same umbrella. Thanks for teaching me nothing G B PACKER!
The 2 guys on backing vocals really take this tune into the top bracket,sounds just as good as it did in 89,and when a song stands the test of time like that you know its a killer tune
My first concert was Yazz in kings hall Belfast. I had my hair like her and a cut off red leather jacket with a huge smiley face on the back. She was amazing and during this song she pointed me out
Oh wow!! Getting chills yazz was the soundtrack of my childhood..I used to take comfort from her in the bad times and dance with her songs in my ears during the good 🥰🥰🥰
I was born here alone in 2000 and I have a very big love for old hits, sometimes I listen to such songs and imagine myself in that time and it really inspires 😊
This song just randomly popped into my head. I remember listening to this song on the LP single back in the day on a record player. I was only kid and little did I know that this classic tune was talking about the struggles of life and trying to keep it positive even though we may not know the outcome of what the future may bring. Let’s hope the only way will be up for the future 🤞
Didn't much like Yaz or this song growing up. But it's amazing the perspective that a few decades can lend. Now I see the 80s and this track were pure gold ❤
This song is mine and my cousin, teapot’s song from our holiday in Tenerife... 😎😄 Now it’s an inspirational song when I am half dead, been through the mill and the only way is actually up!
She's such a pleasure to watch and song amazing. I used to dance with my 3 year old to this if ever he saw me sad because his dad went to America to be an actor?! Arsehole never made it. We did. X
Where have all the years gone ? Remember dancing to this at Regimental Discos, bunch of crazy squaddies going nuts. Still has the same effect on me 30 years on. Sadly quite a few of my old mates are no longer with us so this songs for them. Cheers lads
Love the performance. She seems to be having fun. I mean, she's gorgeous. Flawless features. But I love the hint of embarrassment or shyness. Very endearing.
Yazz was my favorite and ..., unforgivably for myself, I had forgotten her! It was like a religion to me. Like a prayer. As a call to fight through the difficulties in my life. And like a ladder to the sky, which raises me to the stars!
Summer 1988. Came from ireland to work on the buildings in London. Used to get back to the flat to catch the last of totps. This song was number one. Great tune, great memories for an18 year old.
The only way is up what a banger of a tune ❤ just had a really hard time needed this song thankyou sister yazz Godbless ya and ya family and loved ones ❤
Just made a big change in my life migrating to a new country and at an advanced age too. This was the first song on my mind as I stepped off the plane. The only way is up!
I have sunk so low in my life , so many difficult hurdles to deal with . that when I hear this wonderful song. I totally say to myself The only way is up. It gives me the hope I need to fix this mess . And brings me joy and happiness.
Played this as the final song at my mum's funeral. She adored it, it made her so so happy. Whenever I hear it now I cry, but it's such a wonderfully happy, optimistic song
Incredibly hard to believe this was No 1 in the charts exactly 30 years ago! I was 13 at the time and loved this song. Such a cool vibe and upbeat. It was also in my Now 13 album. :)
I remember dancing to this in a nightclub in Brighton one New Year's Eve.❤️️ Great memories. Love Yazz, her dress style, her energy, the way she dances, So cool. Lovin' those trouser braces they're wearing....🎵🎵
I'm 49, living at my mum's, lost everything and I have to start all over again. But there's only one way and the only way is up. Keep your head up wherever you are and whatever you're goin through, the only way is up
Stay strong, my friend.
You'll build yourself back even better.
Trust me.

Definately best time the 80s. Not a worry in the world.
Yep...not being so bad being 52 now....
Reminds of good times ...!!!!
Same here 😄 they always played it on the rides when the fair came to town as well. Those were the days 👍👌
I was 26 and 1988 was the beginning of the end for me, give me 82 to 87 every time, this was a proper feel good record though.
Song released 11 July 1988

The soundtrack of my childhood, growing up in the 80's. Massive, massive tune😍
pure oldskool
It was everywhere in 1988 it seemed, in the UK at least.
mine too, here in Brazil this sound became a hit in the radio in 89.
This song I heard on my trip to England in 1988.
Me too BMX bikes and 80s music
I’m now 50 on the beach in Rhodes Greece 34 degrees dancing like it 30 years ago

That’s amazing!! You’ll never forget that! Sade did the same thing to me ( I think she was pointing at me😅) and I’ll never forget it❤❤
Oh wow!! Getting chills yazz was the soundtrack of my childhood..I used to take comfort from her in the bad times and dance with her songs in my ears during the good 🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
Woke up this morning with this song in my head. It's a sign that better days are coming! 🙏❤️☘️🧸
Shit I was abroad during the 80s and missed so much of UK culture. Glad to catch up with this terrific artist!
Yo escuchaba esta buena música a los 12 años, ahora con 45 años sigo amando esta canción!!!
Yo igual...la amo...es nuestra música de chavos...saludos desde México capital.
Yo hoy cumplo 49 años y también me encanta este tremendo tema musical
Ditto, but I'm 74 and still dancing round the house to this fabulous music
@@germanlizkanosanchez7173papitoooo 😊
I was lifted up everytime I listen to this..!! I'm in church every Sunday and I haven't felt that!!
I was born here alone in 2000 and I have a very big love for old hits, sometimes I listen to such songs and imagine myself in that time and it really inspires 😊
This song just randomly popped into my head. I remember listening to this song on the LP single back in the day on a record player.
I was only kid and little did I know that this classic tune was talking about the struggles of life and trying to keep it positive even though we may not know the outcome of what the future may bring.
Let’s hope the only way will be up for the future 🤞
Same happened with me. I was here reading and it just started playing in my head. Funny.
Jeane Carla Barbosa cool! And I like your picture. 🙂👍🏻
AMEN !!!!
Didn't much like Yaz or this song growing up. But it's amazing the perspective that a few decades can lend. Now I see the 80s and this track were pure gold ❤
This song is mine and my cousin, teapot’s song from our holiday in Tenerife... 😎😄
Now it’s an inspirational song when I am half dead, been through the mill and the only way is actually up!
I'm hereeeeeee listening on December 29th, 2020......love for everybody,,, from Genova-Italy
keep going stay safe
Thank you yazz, I'd hit rock bottom for so long, I thought i was gone..MY FIGHT SONG...
she lifts my funk everytime..this lady can save a life...let her just wash over your tired souls and believe ♡
She's such a pleasure to watch and song amazing. I used to dance with my 3 year old to this if ever he saw me sad because his dad went to America to be an actor?! Arsehole never made it. We did. X
Remember this well with trips down to Newcastle weekenders. Nothing like a bit of Yazz The Only Way is Up to get you up there 😍👌👍☝
This is a pop classic and will never go out of fashion the ultimate floor filler
Yes
Def one of the defining wonder tracks of 1988! And there was quite afew of them back in that time.
This help me cope with 12 spinal operations having my back broken in two places that work your mum had a good musical ears bless her
Tengo 62 años y aun.me motiva y me anima para seguir adelante
I used to listen to this song on BBC short wave frequency ! Oh ! Aah ! Those were the days. 🎧 📻
It just magnifies this song. It pleases the ears and the body feels impossible to remain still.
How I miss that time. thanks for posting.
Where have all the years gone ? Remember dancing to this at Regimental Discos, bunch of crazy squaddies going nuts. Still has the same effect on me 30 years on. Sadly quite a few of my old mates are no longer with us so this songs for them. Cheers lads
This song willl never get old. thanks for the energy, bebes
A Summer song. The UK had a poor summer in 1988, but this was No 1 on the hottest day of the year - Sunday 7th August 1988.
Sensacional! Que som sensacional, saudades dessa época!🇧🇷🕺🕺
Love the performance. She seems to be having fun. I mean, she's gorgeous. Flawless features. But I love the hint of embarrassment or shyness. Very endearing.
Yazz was my favorite and ..., unforgivably for myself, I had forgotten her!
It was like a religion to me. Like a prayer. As a call to fight through the difficulties in my life. And like a ladder to the sky, which raises me to the stars!
2021 still holding on
Childhood mems. And what a great pick-me-up-song. Remember, when youre at the bottom - The only way is👆❤
Summer 1988. Came from ireland to work on the buildings in London. Used to get back to the flat to catch the last of totps. This song was number one. Great tune, great memories for an18 year old.
Yazz
Une multitude de soirée en boîte a attendre le passage de ta chanson pour danser
Merci 🇫🇷
What a song!💗🎵 Still sounds as fresh as it did back in the 80s.
The only way is up what a banger of a tune ❤ just had a really hard time needed this song thankyou sister yazz Godbless ya and ya family and loved ones ❤
Oh what a blast from the past and still kicking it,thank God 🙏
Back when Dance music was Dance music with Lyrics Marvellous 😎👌
Just made a big change in my life migrating to a new country and at an advanced age too. This was the first song on my mind as I stepped off the plane. The only way is up!
Its Yaz and the plastic population.
The 80's are the best !!!! Love it !!!
This song was playing in my head for so long ...helped me uplifting my spirit..
I was just say that same thing man.
Great time and great song in my life, I watched it on VH1, back when music was great..
80s pop-songs where so happy. We need that again in our society to create a better spirit.💗💗💗
I have sunk so low in my life , so many difficult hurdles to deal with .
that when I hear this wonderful song. I totally say to myself The only way is up. It gives me the hope I need to fix this mess . And brings me joy and happiness.
Hang in there mate, the only way is up !
Played this as the final song at my mum's funeral. She adored it, it made her so so happy. Whenever I hear it now I cry, but it's such a wonderfully happy, optimistic song
Incredibly hard to believe this was No 1 in the charts exactly 30 years ago! I was 13 at the time and loved this song. Such a cool vibe and upbeat. It was also in my Now 13 album. :)
Wow...me too...I also was 13 already when this was released in the Summer of 1988...
I was 11. You could be my grandfather!
Whyzit Incredibly Hard to believe ? If this was re-released now, it would do Just That again !!
It is a cover....
Such a fun time in my life. So glad I came of age before the internet, smartphones, social media. The last pure time, won’t see it again I’m afraid
👏👏👏👏🎈👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 PARABÉNS
EU também

I remember dancing to this in a nightclub in Brighton one New Year's Eve.❤️️ Great memories. Love Yazz, her dress style, her energy, the way she dances, So cool. Lovin' those trouser braces they're wearing....🎵🎵
