No drum machines, no backup singers, no choreographed dance routines. Just a man pouring out his heart through one of the greatest songs ever written. God Loves the 80's just as much as I do!
I bet even the Westboro Baptist church agrees and they think God hates everything.... The only thing this joint is missing is the xylophone or whatever melodc percussion that synth was emulating...
@@shrippie-4214 And this archetypal reply that every youth uses these days 'boomer' just shows how uncultured, unread, boring, uninspired and just plain stupid your generation is. Go back to watching idiotic tik tok videos and listening to nicki minaj and the likes with their moronic lyrics.
Miles Paramore I thought you were saying most singers his age give up on the high notes like this was current. Wasn’t saying that he couldn’t still hit the notes. I wanted to see them when they came to town two years ago but I missed it. I bet he still sounds amazing
I really like this version. Nothing wrong with the original, I loved that version also. This one highlights his voice more in my opinion. All natural voice, no studio enhancement for Richard.
Used to listen to this over and over again when living in college in the 1980s. We'd be stoned as f*ck lying on the floor- often under a massive tent made of sheets draped around the furniture- for days and listen to music: Echo and The Bunnymen, The Cure, Pink Floyd (of course), Jesus and Mary Chain, Peter Gabriel, the list is endless. Most fun time of my life.
Funny how some music takes you back to a place. A place in my life. The time the place the music one evening at the majestic theatre sitting next to a beautiful girl. And young. And in love,,, and young. And so in love. My life.
Todd rundgren brought me to Richard Butler, but Richard kept me here all these years! Like Todd, I think he's a very underrated songwriter and artist. A huge talent!
Recuerdo aquellos tiempos con la muchachada de la academia, y las grabaciones que hacia en casettes, la voz de Richard le daba ese valor épico a la banda escucharlo es como retroceder en el tiempo, gracias por acompañarnos en tan excelente época.
didn't know bout this song til i was watching wedding singer, heard it in the backround..anyways wanted to hear the whole song, went on youtube to hear it..GLAD i did this song is AWESOME..LUVIN IT:)
Thank you hanman1 this video should have a million views and likes. I listened to it over and over and each time got chills down my spine! FFFFFFFUUUUUC!
Born in 82...Butler's voice always reminded me of a mix of Bowie and Idol... Here I am on 4/7/21 !!!!!! 🎶 You can never win or lose...if you don't run the race 🎶 ...FACTS

I've always loved this song, but this version moved me to tears.
Today's music doesn't come close to the brilliant lyrics of the 80's.........

@@duhusker4383 Never watched tic tok in my life.
@@free322001 they are too. anyone born before 65. you may have listened, but everyone playing is a boomer
I love how raw and rough it sounds. I also love the fact that you can hear his accent when he sings.
he sounds exactly the same as he always did. nice.
I saw them live 2 years ago and he sounds excellent. We couldn't believe it!
is he still so beautiful?
Most singers his age give up up on those notes. Bravo Richard!
This was 25 years ago though
@@jackdempsey9644 just 2 years ago he performed just as well

It's not really the notes. It's the tonality.
@@DaRyteJuan Yes, what is the strange sound he is making??? It almost sounds purposeful because he can achieve a different tonality if he wants to.
Still one of my favorite songs, brings back so much memories of my childhood .

Excellent taste in music you have
That song is almost 40 years and still sounds fresh!!!! 😊l
I love this voice. Swallow all your tears my love, put on your new face, you can neither win or lose if you don't run the race . Nostalgia : )
You can *NEVER* win or lose if you don't run the race
I miss the 80’s 😞
Funny how some music takes you back to a place. A place in my life. The time the place the music one evening at the majestic theatre sitting next to a beautiful girl. And young. And in love,,, and young. And so in love. My life.
His voice is much stronger now with more natural rasp....so so good!
Richard Butler is da man!!
Excellent version !!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🤘🏼🎶
Beautiful 😢❤❤
That's when you know it's real, holds up, doesn't need tricks...stunning.
miss songs that hit me like this one did
Richard has been awesome since the very early 80's. He still has his voice and makes wonderful music to this day
Just love the half hour commercials before each and every video. Nothing like a buzz kill before listening to your favorite music.
The premium account is worth every penny.
Reminds me of bitter sweet times! Thanks to all my many music gods I survived!
Bug the furs have some of the best therapy songs........
Bug highwire days .....takes you away......

Yes, Todd Rundgren, my favorite 70s artist.

Really beautiful song
Love this xx
There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun, my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes, they'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay for laughing in their faces and making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes, there's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart, but not in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes, so swallow all your tears, my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose, if you don't run the race
Yeahhh, yeahhh, yeahhh
Aw ooh, aw ooh, aw ooh, aw ooh
Great find. Thanks for uploading.
Reminds me alot of Ian Mccolloch of Echo & The Bunnymen, which isn't a bad thing at all... They are both equally awesome!
I'm having a really shitty day. So glad to be able to hear this.
I hope your day got better ✌❤
