My husband & I had only been together 2 yrs when this came out. We were together for 34 yrs. I lost him in 2020 to cancer at 58 yrs old. This song reminds me of you Gareth. Miss you love
This was played at my brothers song at the end if his funeral. He loved it. He was only 51 yrs old. With the Covid there was only 25 allowed in the church but we all sang it. He got a great send off. R I P my brother and my best friend Darren xx.
This song reminds me of my mother. She loved erasure. Two months ago she passed away from COVID-19. I miss her so I just listen to everything she listened to. I love you mom.
The comments in this thread are such a reflection of life, some about love, some about love of life, remembering a loved one that’s has passed. This is was great music does. I hope you and your family are well.
Erasure needs more respect! They are just as important and influential as Depeche Mode, New Order, and Pet Shop Boys. Vince Clarke, especially, needs to be recognized with a special lifetime achievement award for all that he's done for synthpop music and being the founder of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and Erasure.
Well actually Alison Moyet was looking for a band member. The duo formed in late 1981 after Clarke responded to an advertisement Moyet placed in a British music magazine, although the pair had known each other since their school days.
@@Selfloathingmisanthrope This is the song that i was searching for and i found it. THIS TOOK ME FOREVER MAN TO LOOK AT THIS SONG. BECAUSE,WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO THE RADIO. I DON'T KNOW THE SONG YET!!!
Had never heard this song before until we played Hull Kingston Rovers away! This is one of their anthems and sounds good when sang by thousands of rugby league fans!
As a DM fan I’ve always said this was one of the best pop songs . I’m sure PSB and Dm would have loved their own interpretations of vinces Andy’s, song
Erasure probably one of the most underrated groups of all time. Several people have covered this track but none of them were a patch on this. Erasure are still together and selling out concepts 34 years later! A great British group to be proud of. Andy Bell was probably one of the first popstars to be openly gay and comfortable and he led the way for many others to follow. Erasure thank you for the memories and you continue to make me happy. Love always.
@@samgod As were a lot of the early synth bands of the early 80s too,Andy tends to sing about his sexuality passionately though is probably what he means,one of the first not 'the' first.
Vince Clarke doesn't get enough credit for his contributions to being vitally instrumental to the monumental breakthrough of 3 different major music acts in the '80s with Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure. He brings success wherever he goes.
This song and Erasure as a band always reminds me of my school time friend, Scott Wilks. He was in a wheelchair and we saw their concert in Milton Keynes and it allowed me to be closer than the performance than I should have been allowed to be. For this I will forever be thankful of my friend who I lost in 2016. Thinking of you Scott.
I've no idea if it was the same performance, but I saw Erasure at the Milton Keynes bowl in 1989 or 1990. I was only 17 years old or so, and went with my first girlfriend. The opener was Adamski singing Killer, and it was a hell of a concert. RIP to your friend, but you are still here to tell such tales and they will be alive as long as you remember them ;-)
@@johnbull1568 thank you! Yes we may have been there at the same time but I don’t care that I unfortunately didn’t meet you, Hope you have an awesome continuance of life and go on to do many things. Much love, love is all around.
Yo me imagino joda en la playa ya 6 d la matina,sol saliendo,y el dj pone está,yo abrazado a la minita q persegui toda la noche,y todos borrachos pero felices cantando a todo pulmón está joyaaaa
Omg, i forgot all about this song, why doesn't this get any airplay. The memories it brings back are priceless, who else is listening and going down memory lane? Damn I miss those dsys!!
I remember the song quite well, but the version from wheatus. Nonetheless, I love the original, because it sounds so amazing. And it also reminds me on my teenage adventures ;)
Tenia 16 años cuando la cantaba, y siempre que la oigo regreso a mis dulces 16 etapa rosa de mi vida. Ahora tengo 52 y aún me brillan los ojos al escucharla!
Erasure have given us lots of great songs all these years, but this one is in a league of its own! When Andy enters with "I try to discover..." I literally get goosebumps!
As a 49 year old metalhead, I love to cruise the 80's pop songs I loved in high school and read all the amazing stories of strangers, some sad, some awesome - all stories about what that particular song and era meant to them. Beautiful stuff!
I never get tired of listening to this Anthem by Erasure, what a masterpiece! Andy Bell and Vince Clark, what a perfect combination: An incredible voice and a keyboard genius.
Es la época de oro amigos y nadie lo va a superar ninguna generación futura. Los 80 lo mejor de lo mejor. La mejor música del planeta tierra. Insuperable .

I've always loved this song. It was also one of my mum's favourite songs ; i remember making her a cd with this on it for her to listen to during her cancer treatments. Unfortunately she passed last year ; I cant help but shed a tear when i listen to it ; reminds me of her. I was clearing out some things lately and found her old vinyls and casette tapes and i found a casette tape of this album ; made me smile. Miss her dearly .
When this song came out, I was working as an AIDS Buddy for Casey House in Toronto. These were not less troublesome times for those of us who were there.
@@ES-aussie68 Damn that is one far off netherworld stuck in the past, I am guessing 70s ;-)~ I think I have heard of that strange land it entered my consciousness in the 80s, in my time zone, with "Men At Work" (god I am old :-D). I think the mythical land also made a blip in the 90s with Kylie and Jason, though Danii flopped in my timezone :-D PS: Emojiis don't show to me, hence the smilies in my past, atleast those don't show as a rectangle.
@@Dermacrosis Hahaha Yes, Erasure wasn't a big sensation in Australia, hence my remark. I have to confess to being a bit of a Kylie fan in the 80's, crazy hair and crazy clothes make me more than happy I didn't grow up in the age of social media!! Thankful for 80's music though!!
Their album 'The Innocents' sustained me through some of the darkest days of my early twenties. This song from that record is SUBLIME. What Vince Clarke doesn't know about synthesisers isn't worth knowing. Perfection.
@UsedCondomCollector Which sounds so 80s. as good as theses songs are they you can easily hear what decade it came from.. doesn't get much more 80s than this.
Então, vou contar uma historinha agora que ninguém vai ligar mas eu quero compartilhar porque minha vibe tá ótima. Eu procuro essa música há um pouco mais de 10 anos, mas só tinha o refrão na cabeça em forma de balbucios, sem palavras formadas (até porque na época em que a ouvi pela primeira vez eu não tinha nem noção de inglês), e hoje eu estava passando a TV e eu juro por Deus que ela estava tocando na Fazenda no exato momento em que coloquei no programa. À partir daí eu fiquei louca procurando o programa ao vivo no TH-cam pra eu conseguir pescar palavras soltas da música e tentar pesquisar por conta própria. Meu pai reparou minha euforia e perguntou o que eu tava fazendo. Expliquei a situação e coloquei o mesmo trecho da música pra ele ouvir. Ele disse, sem pensar duas vezes: "Erasure" e eu senti vontade de chorar. Colocamos na TV da sala e ele falou novamente: "Nem sei quantas vezes eu assisti esse clipe no DVD". Finalmente eu entendi que meu pai ouvia essa música em casa e muito provavelmente foi assim que eu a conheci e passei tantos anos procurando-a. Eu podia ter explicado a situação pra ele muito antes e achado essa música há anos atrás, mas sinceramente eu gostei mais do modo que ocorreu. Assisti ao clipe com ele e que sensação gostosa, que saudade daquele tempo. Amei ter esse momento com o meu pai e estou ouvindo essa música há 2 horas em looping agora.
Theres something soo different about 80's music... its not my favourite decade of music but its definitely aged well. It still sounds soo fresh and smooth like every beat just blends perfectly. Love it.
Back then, the music industry cared more about record sales than concert promotion and image. This meant that music needed to be very rhythmically pleasing. Many artists in the 80s in particular used a winning formula.
I agree. Music from the 1980's aged well. Actually, I thought it wouldn't since I was also there on the disco scene in the 1970's and thought at the time it would be very hard to replace disco. I had almost the same amount of fun in the 80's, but I was also older...
Sixty one years old, metalhead since as far back as i can remember. But my God, sometimes a track like this just stops you in your tracks. What an incredible voice. 👏 😂
I used to live in Houston, saw them in concert at the Woodlands, was so awesome. Lol our dates were A &M guys, didn't realize they were gay, they were wearing pink too toos 😂😊, didn't matter music was awesome 😊
Ive lost my mum and dad and both grandparents and this song just reminds me of the 90s around when i was born and how the whole family loved this song and i could remember it bringing joy to everyone as they listened ❤
One of the most amazing songs of the 80s. The music, the voice, the vibe, the dancing, all comes together and brings back incredible memories. Love this song. Have been listening to it over 1000 times and still as if it the first time, love it and enjoy it the same. 80s truly had the best music.
Agradeço eternamente os meus pais por terem me feito crescer ouvindo essas lindas músicas. Tenho 14 anos e até hoje tenho uma paixão incondicional por essas músicas antigas, simplesmente as melhoreees
saw Erasure Live at NEC birmingham in the 80`s they were brilliant,sounded just like listening to their records, no croaky vocals from Andy and vince`s performance was stunning.Proper feel good music.
Estas canciones jamás de los jamases pasarán de moda, me sirven tanto en estos días de cuarentena. .. Me dan verdadero ánimo y ganas de seguir. Ojalá nacieran grupos así y que nuestros hijos pudieran sentir lo que nosotros.
Goosebumps literally every single time I do listen to this masterpiece. The message is utterly transcendental and this song allowed me to be the one I am today, proud and smart ♥️
Takes me back to my school years in England, what a time.. I miss you all very much, the teachers were right after all, it was the best times of our lives. Also, one of the best songs ever made.
I was at shool when this was released and it filled the dance floor at school disco's in the late 80s. Just love Erasure who cares if they were gay. I have gay friends and there nice people and that's what counts. I take people for who they are not what they are!
I don’t know how the music industry works but please rerelease this. Andy was amazing on I Can See Your Voice. This uplifting song is just what we all need and the lyrics are so appropriate for 2023. Proof that a good song endures forever. It sounds so fresh and contemporary.
@@mymoonams 99.9% of the population would not know who Andy Bell is, and since he is pretty freaking awesome, that makes him underrated. Understand my written english before you post a silly and redundant reply seeking to criticise me. I'm only trying to highlight how unfair it is he has such a low profile.
He’s also very humble, my friend meet him in a pub in Edinburgh while they were supporting some band, ( sorry can’t remember who) but my mate said they should be supporting ERASURE, he was very approachable and chilled, I’ve seen them live twice both times brilliant live.
Sou de 1992, mas parece que nasci antes, pq eu janais trocaria uma musica dessas por qualquer outra de hj em dia. Passei uns 9 anos ou mais procurando essa musica e nao sabia o nome. Ontem a noite meu patrão me disse na hora o nome da musica, depois que escutamos tocar no bar ao lado. To feliz demais hj, e nao paro de escutar, é muito viciante... Simplesmente perfeita essa canção do Erasure.
@@XxPandabears115Xx It probably has to do with the fact that the song is dedicated to people in the LGBT community who just want respect and tolerance, hence why this song is such an iconic LGBT pride song.
I saw Erasure live in 1987 opening for Duran Duran. It was just the two of them, with Vince providing all the music on a giant bank of keyboards. I was dubious at first, until Andy grabbed the mic. The boy can SING, y'all.
Amazing live in concert! Such an amazing experience.. Apologies in advice but if you’d like to a listen to a story feel free.. My mother has always been a fan of Erasure. When we heard they were in Newcastle UK, they had already sold out as I was late to hear.. I felt awful not being able to get tickets as my Mum was in the middle of having radiotherapy for a brain tumour.. so as a last resort we stood outside to see if we could buy a couple of tickets. We managed to get two! We went to queue up and ecstatic we were seeing them however we were in totally different ends of the city hall. One ticket was right at the front..the other at the back. Needless to say who go the front ticket. Just before they came on my Mum called and said you’re not going to believe this.. The seat next to her at the front was free as someone was unable to go! So I managed to get to sit next to her after pleading with the steward to do so! What a night.. Mum is in remission now and still enjoying Erasure.. 😬😬😬

Andy had an amzing voice with so much melody, very talented
Andy Bell's voice is perfect to express the emotion in Vince Clarke's wonderful tunes.
That is true, but I suspect that Andy had some input on the songs other than singing them, Hideaway being a good example.
Thanks for telling me his name 😂 never knew it. He's great
Wow i thought it was jony Somerville
I never get tired of listening to this Anthem by Erasure, what a masterpiece! Andy Bell and Vince Clark, what a perfect combination: An incredible voice and a keyboard genius.
Thus entire album is great!
Vince Clark is one of the greatest musicians ever, just look at all his hits - only you with Alison Moyet is timeless.

Plain and simple, this is one of the very best pop records of the 1980s, taken from one of the finest pop albums of that time.
♫
I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
Why you make-a-me work so hard
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
And if I should falter
Would you open you arms out to me?
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover?
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
You know you make-a-me work so hard
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Music was so much fun when I was younger (Now 50).
Too true mate...Just listening to it now for the first time in years, and still a tune....!!
Same hère, same age
this music cheers me up in seconds nowadays!!
Sou brasilheiro
@@fud1376 60yrs old listening to it now as i lay in my bed brilliant tune
Its taken me 30 years to finally find other humans that appreciate Erasure, better late than never.
Then you must live in some far off nether world as there are many humans who like Erasure.
Here's the boys have a chat on Zoom
@@Dermacrosis Pretty spot on there. Australia! 😂
@@ES-aussie68 Damn that is one far off netherworld stuck in the past, I am guessing 70s ;-)~
I think I have heard of that strange land it entered my consciousness in the 80s, in my time zone, with "Men At Work" (god I am old :-D). I think the mythical land also made a blip in the 90s with Kylie and Jason, though Danii flopped in my timezone :-D
PS: Emojiis don't show to me, hence the smilies in my past, atleast those don't show as a rectangle.
@@Dermacrosis Hahaha Yes, Erasure wasn't a big sensation in Australia, hence my remark. I have to confess to being a bit of a Kylie fan in the 80's, crazy hair and crazy clothes make me more than happy I didn't grow up in the age of social media!! Thankful for 80's music though!!
I am teleported back to being a kid in the 80's when i hear this song. Its an undeniable masterpiece. ❤
yepp, same here!!! makes my heart dance 💞
Thats exactly what happens and I
LOVE IT❤
One of the most beautiful songs of the 1980s,makes me feel happy every time I listen to it.
Cade os brasileiros curtindo essa música 😍
Aqui poha
Mais um para a sua lista!
E em 2020!

Tamo aquiii🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
When in Rome. Também e top
oi
Their album 'The Innocents' sustained me through some of the darkest days of my early twenties. This song from that record is SUBLIME. What Vince Clarke doesn't know about synthesisers isn't worth knowing. Perfection.
Indeed
Hey man...Could you teach English? I need to improve my skills
Do you have any social media?
yes, me too.
80s music never ages. Sounds as fresh as it did when it was originally released.
Emergency Teds absolutely!
In some ways even more fresh since modern "pop" is mostly garbage cookie-cutter template crap!
Yaasss
nah,, it's sounds so 80s too me
@UsedCondomCollector Which sounds so 80s. as good as theses songs are they you can easily hear what decade it came from.. doesn't get much more 80s than this.
I feel the same chills and joy in my heart when I heard this song for the first time, and it's been 40 years, I will love this song forever!
Então, vou contar uma historinha agora que ninguém vai ligar mas eu quero compartilhar porque minha vibe tá ótima. Eu procuro essa música há um pouco mais de 10 anos, mas só tinha o refrão na cabeça em forma de balbucios, sem palavras formadas (até porque na época em que a ouvi pela primeira vez eu não tinha nem noção de inglês), e hoje eu estava passando a TV e eu juro por Deus que ela estava tocando na Fazenda no exato momento em que coloquei no programa. À partir daí eu fiquei louca procurando o programa ao vivo no TH-cam pra eu conseguir pescar palavras soltas da música e tentar pesquisar por conta própria.
Meu pai reparou minha euforia e perguntou o que eu tava fazendo. Expliquei a situação e coloquei o mesmo trecho da música pra ele ouvir. Ele disse, sem pensar duas vezes: "Erasure" e eu senti vontade de chorar. Colocamos na TV da sala e ele falou novamente: "Nem sei quantas vezes eu assisti esse clipe no DVD". Finalmente eu entendi que meu pai ouvia essa música em casa e muito provavelmente foi assim que eu a conheci e passei tantos anos procurando-a. Eu podia ter explicado a situação pra ele muito antes e achado essa música há anos atrás, mas sinceramente eu gostei mais do modo que ocorreu. Assisti ao clipe com ele e que sensação gostosa, que saudade daquele tempo. Amei ter esse momento com o meu pai e estou ouvindo essa música há 2 horas em looping agora.
That’s an amazing story ♥️
@@robg4512 thank you ❤️❤️
passei por situação bem parecida... lembrava apenas do "i hear you calling"
@@nadjacp Eu tinha a parte "give a little respect to me", mas não eram nem palavras formadas, praticamente impossível de achar 😂
Caaara... É maravilhosa essa sensação de mcontrar uma música depois procurar por 18273 anos!
Theres something soo different about 80's music... its not my favourite decade of music but its definitely aged well. It still sounds soo fresh and smooth like every beat just blends perfectly. Love it.
sou brasil
Back then, the music industry cared more about record sales than concert promotion and image. This meant that music needed to be very rhythmically pleasing. Many artists in the 80s in particular used a winning formula.
@@ghostpuppet31 Yep....They also were more focused on the product.
80s is cocaine
I agree. Music from the 1980's aged well. Actually, I thought it wouldn't since I was also there on the disco scene in the 1970's and thought at the time it would be very hard to replace disco. I had almost the same amount of fun in the 80's, but I was also older...
This song is peaceful, brilliant and has so much energy.
Music is medicine.
It definitely is
So true. It really should be prescribed by doctors.
Glad to see Andy and Vince are still going, these guys were the soundtrack to my youth 😊
Sixty one years old, metalhead since as far back as i can remember. But my God, sometimes a track like this just stops you in your tracks. What an incredible voice. 👏 😂
I used to live in Houston, saw them in concert at the Woodlands, was so awesome. Lol our dates were A &M guys, didn't realize they were gay, they were wearing pink too toos 😂😊, didn't matter music was awesome 😊
Likewise. Seen Maiden live countless times amongst others, but respect where it's due for classics like this.
...and cos I got two positive comments, listened to it again😂😂😂❤❤❤

😀🖖❤🙏🎵🌍🕊
Amen 🙏
Ive lost my mum and dad and both grandparents and this song just reminds me of the 90s around when i was born and how the whole family loved this song and i could remember it bringing joy to everyone as they listened ❤
Great times, indeed.
nice memories ❤
Me too.
One of the most amazing songs of the 80s. The music, the voice, the vibe, the dancing, all comes together and brings back incredible memories. Love this song. Have been listening to it over 1000 times and still as if it the first time, love it and enjoy it the same. 80s truly had the best music.
Definitely agree with you. I love, love this song!!
Definitely, I prefer the 70’s music tbh. However I do like the 80’s music 😊
This song is from 90s.
it was a great time to be young!
@@Moshe_Akiva '88
Erasure is one of the greatest synth bands of all time, and severely underrated. This song is so, so good.
This song can never be played loud enough!
Exactly what i tell my neighbours
@@dezperado9365Headphones no way, we’re doing our neighbours a favour showing the awesomeness of this song! 😂
This song can never be played enough. ❤
Olá! Sou do Brasil e hoje me deu uma saudade dessa música! Época maravilhosa da minha vida. Amo d+++ essa música.❤️❤️❤️
oi também gosto muito desta música. Sou de João Pessoa.
Sempre vou voltar aqui...
Também tenho uma saudade enorme, essa música é de 88
Essa música é ótima.
Amoooo! A saudade me trouxe aqui...
Yo aquí con mis 37 años escuchando está loca canción con mi tía de 53 , dios desde pequeña la vengo escuchando por ella, y no me canso love 80'
me recuerda muchisimo cuando estaba en la secu y mis amigos de ese entonces
Son clasicos Vanessa,q perduran en el tiempo,tras generaciones. Disfrutala...👍
Oh.. Lo máximo!! La escuche con mi primer amor, luego al pasar los años...mis mejores años para recordar!!!
Tbm tenho 37 sou brasileiro e nos brasileiros amamos o erasure.
I can relate to your tia I'm 59 👍
My mom had this cd on BLAST while my sister and I jammed in the backseat in the 90s. Our best memories. Rest easy, sweet sister.
Agradeço eternamente os meus pais por terem me feito crescer ouvindo essas lindas músicas. Tenho 14 anos e até hoje tenho uma paixão incondicional por essas músicas antigas, simplesmente as melhoreees
Miss Fire tbm sou assim
Parabéns pros seus ais por ensinar música de verdade pra você hoje em dia só tem lixo sem talento não todos mas tem sim falta de arte infelizmente !
Parabéns pra seus pais, continue assim ouvindo Boas músicas.
Parabéns pelo bom gosto , músicas que viveram eternamente 👏👏👏👏
Parabéns pros meus e pro seus 😘💪🏼
Probably one of the greatest Erasure songs of all time. I remember when I first heard this; it was exceptional then.
Probably is for Carlsberg. It is their GOAT. No doubt!
The most literal video in the history of videos❤️
saw Erasure Live at NEC birmingham in the 80`s they were brilliant,sounded just like listening to their records, no croaky vocals from Andy and vince`s performance was stunning.Proper feel good music.
Como as músicas eram boas... nossa... qta saudade... ouço mil vezes e me trás boas lembranças...!!!
Claudia Claudia não essas porcarias que toca hoje
concordo com vc xará muitas lembranças boas que saudade .
É isso que faz a gente se sentir bem , músicas boas como essa 😍
Claudia Claudia ..hermosa morochita eres
mo essa dupla!!! pesquisando para fazer uma homenagem a eles no meu canal cheguei aqui!
The literalness of this video has aged like fine wine tbh
Pretty brave of these guys to advertise their Gayness. It was a little more hidden back then.
Leman Kurtz vince isn’t gay, andy is though
@Laurel Machak ikr they're so ahead of their time, that's some 2019 humor right here
Alguém ouvindo está espetacular
Música em 2021.
Eu
Eu👍👍👍
Eu cantava essa musica quando era pequeno, o vizinho ate ouvia kkkk. Que saudade
Estou ouvindo e com muita saudade da época quê foi lançada,curti muito.
Estamos aq não sei comokkkkk emocionado. Sei nem dizer sevtriste ou felizkkkk
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
70s better.
@@themanftheworld8439 If the 70'S are better, why are you commenting on an 80's video post? HA! the dj
Quite simply one of the finest pop songs ever recorded .
Hard to describe how I feel about this song it's just pure magic to me.... there's just no words
You've perfectly described it in 19 words.
80s music is the secret for World Peace! 🌎☮
It’s a great sentiment, but I’m not sure how that would work. It sure as hell didn’t work in the eighties!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ja ja ja , tienes toda la razon Frank. Y si le agregas fe en Jesucristo sera aun mejor. 🙏
Best comment ever
And the beatles
One of the very best pure pop songs of the 1980s. Simple as that.
This is real music, real artists
Thanks god we can still listen to these master pieces
Estas canciones jamás de los jamases pasarán de moda, me sirven tanto en estos días de cuarentena. .. Me dan verdadero ánimo y ganas de seguir. Ojalá nacieran grupos así y que nuestros hijos pudieran sentir lo que nosotros.
Así mismo pienso yo q mis hijos disfrutarán de estas cualidades de música es una bella sensación 🥰🥰🥰
La musica di oggi é orrenda con testi e melodie deprimenti
Yo disfruto mucho estas canciones teniendo 15 años de edad ^^
Tenés toda la razón del mundo que música y que épocas
Ahí mucha juventud de hoy q le gusta la buena música como esta
Obvio por q nosotros los padres no parábamos de escucharla.
Saludos🇮🇪México.
I danced to this songs at the disco in the early 90s... I just love 80s and 90s music so much. Erasure still rocks in 2022!!!!
AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto double!!💚🧡💜🙌🤗💙😁🍸🤸♀️😊✅💯🥰❤
I will call tomorrow
77? .... you were only about 14 or 15 in the early 90s ;) lol
heck i dance to this song in my attic today! LOL
Absolutely timeless classic 💜
Just played this at my mums funeral as the coffin was brought in .
I’ll have a tear every time her favourite song is played . ❤
#Davros Darek lo siento mucho!¡ te envió mis más sinceros saludos. Dios, coloque paz en tu corazón. Bendiciones!!💙🙏💙

Dios te bendiga por ser un buen hijo

Goosebumps literally every single time I do listen to this masterpiece. The message is utterly transcendental and this song allowed me to be the one I am today, proud and smart ♥️
Takes me back to my school years in England, what a time.. I miss you all very much, the teachers were right after all, it was the best times of our lives. Also, one of the best songs ever made.
Nice one
me too i'm 54
Idk why this song makes me sob. It reminds me of how many times I’ve been broken hearted by the same man over and over again 😭
The greatest Synth-Pop Group EVER
Nah, Depeche Mode, but Erasure is a close second
@@lozu8947nah Pet Shop Boys, but Depeche Mode are a close second
@@tomdavies6368 Nah, Eurythmics, but Depeche Mode is a close second
This song just brings back the most happiest memories when i was young...I will always love Erasure
Mashed34 hey buddy u r still young when u said it
Mashed34 I understood that reference
I was at shool when this was released and it filled the dance floor at school disco's in the late 80s. Just love Erasure who cares if they were gay. I have gay friends and there nice people and that's what counts. I take people for who they are not what they are!
I was born in 1987 and I love this song =)
@@carolmiranda7603 i was born in 1988 the New Wave is the best!!!
I don’t know how the music industry works but please rerelease this. Andy was amazing on I Can See Your Voice. This uplifting song is just what we all need and the lyrics are so appropriate for 2023. Proof that a good song endures forever. It sounds so fresh and contemporary.
Brings back so many memories!
"What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover". - what a beautiful line and sentiment by which to live by.
Saudades dos anos 80, só lembranças boas... Que época sensacional!
I am also glad to see that people still like this song even after all these years and that the spirit is still alive!
It will never die.
They deserve a lot of respect....thank you for our music life.....
My God! What an absolute ray of sunshine this is! The video is perfection too!
80s music was so magical, the only era when a song like this played. I love the positive vibes and beautiful lyrics :)
👍♥️
Andy Bell one of the most underrated voices in pop - rarely gets a mention...
His voice still sounds great check it out.
Andy Bell is NOT underrated.
@@mymoonams 99.9% of the population would not know who Andy Bell is, and since he is pretty freaking awesome, that makes him underrated. Understand my written english before you post a silly and redundant reply seeking to criticise me. I'm only trying to highlight how unfair it is he has such a low profile.
cuz he's teh gay
He’s also very humble, my friend meet him in a pub in Edinburgh while they were supporting some band, ( sorry can’t remember who) but my mate said they should be supporting ERASURE, he was very approachable and chilled, I’ve seen them live twice both times brilliant live.
All time one of the Best Groups/Bands!🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️
The fact I can listen to the song till the end of my days fills me with so much joy.
Sou de 1992, mas parece que nasci antes, pq eu janais trocaria uma musica dessas por qualquer outra de hj em dia.
Passei uns 9 anos ou mais procurando essa musica e nao sabia o nome.
Ontem a noite meu patrão me disse na hora o nome da musica, depois que escutamos tocar no bar ao lado.
To feliz demais hj, e nao paro de escutar, é muito viciante...
Simplesmente perfeita essa canção do Erasure.
I grew up listening to erasure in the 80s omg and I still get goosebumps when I listen to their music
Best times the 80s were life was so much better ..young free and no worries ..now life sucks ..what has this world come too..😓
Same. Goosebumps all over
@@johnbuss6926 not being rude but you would have been younger in the 80s or a teen im not sure and everything seems better when your young doesnt it
Yep. This is basically a perfect song.
Me too!!
I love this song so much!
I cannot adequately convey in words how much this song means to me.
Tell me why!!
It means a great deal to me.
@@XxPandabears115Xx It probably has to do with the fact that the song is dedicated to people in the LGBT community who just want respect and tolerance, hence why this song is such an iconic LGBT pride song.
I saw Erasure live in 1987 opening for Duran Duran. It was just the two of them, with Vince providing all the music on a giant bank of keyboards. I was dubious at first, until Andy grabbed the mic. The boy can SING, y'all.
Don't show off. Im defo going to get his guitar. 🎉❤
Amazing live in concert! Such an amazing experience.. Apologies in advice but if you’d like to a listen to a story feel free.. My mother has always been a fan of Erasure. When we heard they were in Newcastle UK, they had already sold out as I was late to hear.. I felt awful not being able to get tickets as my Mum was in the middle of having radiotherapy for a brain tumour.. so as a last resort we stood outside to see if we could buy a couple of tickets. We managed to get two! We went to queue up and ecstatic we were seeing them however we were in totally different ends of the city hall. One ticket was right at the front..the other at the back. Needless to say who go the front ticket. Just before they came on my Mum called and said you’re not going to believe this.. The seat next to her at the front was free as someone was unable to go! So I managed to get to sit next to her after pleading with the steward to do so! What a night.. Mum is in remission now and still enjoying Erasure.. 😬😬😬
Nice!
☺👐🙏❤✌👋
yeah, great story!
I am so happy you were able to share this experience with your mom. Bless you both.
Erasure jsou jedineční, skvělí, úžasní❤❤❤❤❤. Nic jiného neposlouchám, miluji je ❤❤
