      Not this song: Wikipedia ""If I Was" is a 1985 song by Midge Ure. It was co-written by Ure and Danny Mitchell (of Ultravox's tour opening band Messengers), and released as the first single from Ure's first solo album The Gift. It reached #1 on the UK singles chart for one week in September 1985.[1]
      In the sleeve notes for the 2001 compilation If I Was: The Very Best of Midge Ure & Ultravox Ure wrote:
      "This song is pure Danny Mitchell. I found a demo of it on a cassette Danny had sent me for his band The Messengers. I grabbed it with both hands, messed around with it, sprinkled it with fairy dust and the rest is history."
      Ure played all instruments on the song except bass guitar, which was played by Mark King of Level 42."

    I am turning 58 shortly. So grateful for the amazing variety of music I enjoyed during my teenage years; what an amazing variation of different artists/styles. I worked in engineering but changed carreer in 2022 and now drive a school bus - I tell my young passengers about the summer of 1983 when my cheap Raleigh bicycle and equally cheap Toshiba radio-cassette recorder provided all the entertainment I needed; long 20 mile+ cycles and home to great music recorded off the radio. No social media or FOMO. Despite some difficulties growing up as a teenager, especially in school and during my Leaving Cert year; the music sustained me. My 20 year old niece also loves this music. I play this stuff in my bus when taking the kids to school and it would be the greatest pleasure if I could convince even one of my young passengers to listen to music from this decade. The '80s were not perfect but times were simpler and there was more social interaction. Nowadays, you cannot even talk to a human when trying to phone a bank or a public service. Would love a time machine!

    This song reminds me of working in Smiths Menswear in High St Edinburgh in the 80s and 90s always was playing over the stereo in shop! Love Midge Ure, very under rated artist and Bob Geldof got all the awards and gratitudes for Live Aid when it was both him and Midge Ure that done it together! But Midge Ure being the man he is stood back and let Bob take the fame and glory! Midge Ure is a Beatifull man and the loveliest man you could ever meet with a heart of gold! Still a hero of mine at the age of 53 years old, for 40 years he's been a part of my life to this day, must listen to him at least once a week still! Thanks Midge ♥️🇬🇧

    If I was a better man
    Would fellow men take me to their hearts
    If I was a stronger man

    Tell me would that alarm her
    I'd never harm her at all
    If I was a soldier
    Captive arms I'd lay before her
    If I was a sailor
    Seven oceans I'd sail to her
    If I was a wiser man
    Would other men reach out and touch me
    If I was a kinder man
    Dishing up love for a hungry world
    Tell me would that appease her
    I want to please her again
    If I was a painter
    I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
    If I was a leader
    On food of love from above I would feed her
    If I was a poet
    All my love and burning words I would show it
    If I was her lover
    Her eyes in kisses I would cover
    Come here my baby
    Oh they can't touch you now
    I'll keep you safe and warm
    I'll never leave you at all
    Come here my baby
    Oh they won't touch you
    Dishing up love for a hungry world
    Tell me would that appease you
    I want to please you again

      Beautiful lyrics. They really don't write songs like this anymore. I miss the 80s for music and movies. A simpler time without mobile phones and Internet. When people would sit in a pub in a crowd and interact with each other rather than a square device that they can't put down for 2 seconds. I'm at a loss the amount of times I see people out together but they would as well be alone because everyone is more interested in their mobile phones than what's actually happening around them or in front of them.

      That's kind.
      Wish though that we could turn the clock again back to the 80s, to great music, get talent and more peaceful times.
      The world is just so shite right now

    This song hit #1 in the UK in 1985. Why was this never released in the US? It is so wrong that America never got to know this brilliant song.

    My dad (55) bring me (17 nearly 18) to this song like a year ago, also he showed me a lot of good music from the 70s/80s. But THIS song, everytime i hear it, i can feel only pain and sadness, no matter what i feel, this is the greatest song from 1985 i know..

    • @Venusbabe66
      @Venusbabe66 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm really glad that this special masterpiece of a song resonates with you and a new generation of 80s music enthusiasts. The moving lyrics and music cannot but evoke the deepest of emotions because the song is about the inspiring power of love and hope. Of course, pain and sadness are the flip side of great love - and that longing for the deepest love comes with the greatest risk - the highest stakes gamble. I was 19 in 1985 and had just fallen madly in love when this song was at number 1. That's probably why it's so meaningful to me... the "trauma bond" marriage of 17 years didn't work out, but my love of this song resonates even more now that I know what the lyrics represent. Good luck to you young man - in life and love! ❤🌏🍀

    I always wanted to protect the men and I always wanted them to get and keep the love of their lives. For me as a woman, a man is a gift from God to women. That's how I treat every man. With respect and esteem.
