Lyrics:
Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Someone cries to me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
The look and the sound of the voice
They try, they try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
The look and the sound of the voice
They try
The shape and the power of the voice
In strong low tones
The shape and the power of the voice

RIP Chris Cross (July 14, 1952 - March 25, 2024), aged 71
You will be remembered as a legend.
Yep
Yes, rest soundly.
That is not Christopher Ross…it’s Midge Ure
I haven't realised that Chris Cross passed away at age 71 in March 2024. That was so sad. God bless him. I'm sure he was a great musician. He might be gone but not forgotten and he will be sadly missed. 🙏
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!
I'm in my 50s, and t was a Dreamtime for music with so many great bands. We were so lucky to grow up in that era.
Agree with your words i'm 55yo
Amen
I'm with you buddy
Same here. So many good bands and music during this period and still valid…
During 1980 and 1981 and in to 1982, there was an underground pulse in the country if you were of the right age to feel it. It was like something primevil waking up and stirring people. An undercurrent of Nuclear war, spies, movie stars and glamour. The music that created was cinematic and grand and it grabbed you by the head and the heart. What an incredibly epic time to be alive it was. I would go back in a heart beat.
The 80s ...in particular the early 1980s were " the best of times "
Totally agree, not a care in the world
from mid 70's
Those swirling synths..40 odd years later still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...classic 80s
Yes, I remember hearing this for the first time around '82 and it sounds absolutely HUGE in that stereo soundscape - the synths, bass and drums coming like majestic waves and shifting in tone, a bit like the way an old-style train would change its sound when passing, due to the Doppler effect. 1:22-1:37 is one of the most striking sections when it comes to this (the inspiration from Bowie's Berlin albums is clear enough but it still sounds amazing)
Art is long, life is short, and this is great art. A masterpiece.
yes it is
Ultravox had about 3 or 4 masterpieces just in 1981.
Are you talking about when he sings.."In strong low tones"? I think that is the best part of the song.
Well put
I had my 3daughters copy each drum scene and who was the best won 50p or what we had. Great fun and still today my eldest plays this track as loud as can and drums her part but knows all. Magic
So blessed to be a true-Eighties teen, turned 17 in '80 ... Radio on all day at work, money in our pockets to buy the amazing tunes hammered out at us, partying in the pubs & clubs of England any & every night we could with our friends!! Priceless memories for those lucky enough to have been in the pubs & clubs of England at this brilliant time in music history. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
So true. Work all bloody week for your pay packet and blow it all on the weekend, and hopefully get lucky 😊
I turned 17 in 80 as well
Well, I turned 10 in 1980, which means that I've spent my whole teenage years in the 80s. It really was the best time to be young, with the best music and lifestyle ever. ♥
They still sound incredible. My favorite British band ever.
This song is massively underrated.
Video, too.
Loved Ulravox. I have their greatest hits on cd. They have a brilliant catalogue of hits. Songs are great. So are the videos. Fantastic band.
underrated by who? It was a total hit back in the day. xD
My second-favourite Ultravox song (Hymn is my first).
RIght! I don't know HOW I missed it. I grew UP with Dancing with Tears in My Eyes!
I love Ultravox !!! They had such an advanced sound. Still holds the test of time for those of us with true taste.
Rush took some ideas from them back in the days.
Totally right! I've been listening these last two years a lot of Midge Ure and Ultravox, it's great! It's so cool to keep discovering awesome "new" songs of the past.
You are right. They were so unique.
Same as that. Always liked Ultravox but in the last 12 weeks, have grown to love them 👌
@@carlosabadvargas1979 Yup. They drew inspiration from many bands. And both bands are unique.
I love Midge' s voice in songs : Vienna - The thin wall - Vision in blue- Passing strangers: his voice had direct- strong - high- metallic- modern- and much more that I don' t explain. Classic .
The Thin Wall...just brilliant
Lament !!!
@@anthonycoleman1909 He has a way of projecting a sense of destiny and drama with his voice, as if something strange and numinous is just around the corner. David Gilmour has some of the same impact with his guitar.
The swirling synths and drums in this song sound amazing - huge pans across the stereo image.
The drop between the chorus and the verse at the end is what makes this for me.
Quite possibly some of the greatest pop music produced in the 1980s. And a philosophical masterpiece.
The bass is amazing on this track.
RIP Chris Cross.
Takes me back to a time where pubs were so thick of smoke, you needed a lighthouse to guide you to the toilet in the corner. Absolutely cracking track and another one of those songs that just sounds so 80's.
😀😀
Not keen on all the lung cancer though
such an incredibly catchy song from the 80s, sorry not a song, this is a masterpiece!!! The music, melody, lyrics are top notch quality. Midge Ure has a great VOICE.
1981. Great year for powerful music.
Awsome ....shut your eyes and your propelled back to a time that will never be repeated!
Had this recorded on my tape cassette when I was a teenager. How life has changed since then.
This song hasn't changed, still sounds brilliant! Thank goodness for TH-cam!
The quintessential 80's group with possibly one of their best ! Superb ! They still sound amazing and don't have even a glimmer of the usual 80's cheesiness ! Amazing class, still shines through the decades !
What other band/artists from the 80's do you like/really like?
@@mikekaraoke Hi there, ones that come straight to mind are soft cell, XTC, ABC .... always rated Men at Work too ☺👍
Lol, there was so much versatility and originality in the 80's that it is a decade for which there can be no "quintessential 80's group." Technically Utravox were a 70's group. Perhaps Flock Of Seagulls would be a more "quintessential" choice.
@Steve Rose Lol, Dude, I totally know that. I was a follower of both Ultravox! and Ultravox. I was one of the very few to see both versions, John Foxx and the Midge Ure. The Foxx version has much better quality control. After Vienna, Ultravox really waned in quality.
@Steve Rose Most Definitely, a Do give wee Midge his Dues for Doing What he Done , But John Fox Utravox Never be Topped 👍😘
The Look at the sound of the voice.... Absolutely brilliant and says everything!
One of the best bands of the early 80s. Stands tall amongst Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Human League, Spandau Ballet, Thompson Twins, Wham, ABC, ......
.... and Culture Club, OMD !!
Stands above those bands IMHO.
Oh what days they were. I loved the 80's more than any other time in my life.
Alphaville
@@lm10legend77 The best!!
The change to the minor chords in the chorus is mesmerising!
Yesss! Exactly!
you know music, my friend
Das bekommen die wenigsten in dieser Perfektion so hin
If only i had a time machine. I'd take us all back in a flash.
And I'd pay you for my ticket. An exciting time to be young.
the best thing about turning 60 around now, is that at the time of bands like ultravox i was at the end of my teens and into early 20's, a good age to fully appreciate music, and by the time the shite music appeared in the 90's and i was 30, i was already too busy at work to listen to any of it
I was in Scotland two years ago and listening to this song while admiring the Highlands gave me such an indescribably romantic feeling
The best way to listen to this is in the dark. With headphones. On the record player you got for Christmas 1981.
I'm slightly worried that "Rage in Eden" is marginally older than my wife, but it doesn't keep me up at night.
Wahoo, good one!!
Midge Ure has a great voice. So much expression. I just loved this growing up in the 80s. Listening to it now gives me so much nostalgia. The 80s were an amazing time to grow up in. So carefree.
Such a great song from Ultravox.. like all their classics.. absolutely outstanding... compare this to today's so called music..no contest whatsoever!
An admirable analysis
Wrong. You just became the old fart who bleats “it was always better in my day” in total disrespect to the fine contemporary musicians out there. Start with Aldous Harding and REN, and keep going.
I have been heavy into Ultravox since 1985. I still can't get enough of them. Very Classy, beautiful, Handsome band. The Epic of New Wave Music. Nothing compares to Ultravox. Absolutely Beautiful, Lovely Music. The 80s we're the best Decade, Ever!!!!!!!!!
Keep wearing your stylish 80s clothes and pins of your favorite Bands. Long Live Ultravox and Rodney on the Roq!
One of the reasons why I liked Ultravox videos is that they wore 1940s clothes: superb style; superb music!!
Ultravox at its best! Atmospheric and unashamedly bombastic!
Still very very very modern and timeless after all this time, well written songs allways stand the test of time, kudos to midge ure and his band
True, very classy sound (and look! ).
This track & The thin wall are classics
i love Midge Ure, his voice is something!
The shape and the power of the voice - indeed! Being held captive in an FM radio station for many of my early years, I was extremely grateful to have been exposed to the Ultravox mind contagion at a key developmental stage. Thankfully, this developed into a profound case of 80sitis, in turn progressing to that most severe of conditions: becoming a purveyor of fine music at a record bar as the 80s turned into the 90s. 🤣 A great time to live. Great years to have ears... A great time to spin discs and hear those sounds. Some incredible years for music. 👍
The powerful voice he had.
Speciale his background voice the heavy sound and his voice togetter amazing
He still has. I saw him live recently and he still sounds flawless
My older sister used to play this a lot on her VHS with many other videos she recorded from the TV music shows back in the days. I was only 10 too lol Ahhh the nostalgia of great music!
how that Irish guy got a Sir and the Mighty Midge didn't is beyond me. what a song writer
Sir Bob did a bit more than being a pop/rock star - his willfulness created an historic event and some awareness of African suffering.
@@jackgammon4084 but the british guy did more re the song and getting the artists to perform and should be on an equal footing at least we should have our very own Sir Midge Ure simple as that
@@joescott483 I see what you're saying - Midge did more than just perform - he co-wrote the Band Aid song and co-organised the Live Aid concert and did other charity concerts. Seems somewhat unfair he only got an OBE. What a man and musician.
@@jackgammon4084 Uh, I didn't know that, it's really not fair!
@@jackgammon4084 They did Live Aid together - Bob and Midge, but all splendor falls on Bob
I think Ultravox videos of this time are greatly underrated !!!
As a keyboard player I’ve always marvelled at Curries synth solos. No doubt something to do with his classical training on violin, the way he shapes and slides. Brilliance.
Ya no hacen música como esta ni por asomo, como la década de los 80 nunca habrá nada parecido. Grandísimos Ultravox.
Me encanta esta canción, genitales Ultravox
Así es❤
Forgot how good this was, the chorus is fantastic
His voice!!amazing !!!midge the face of the 80's Ultravox great Synthepop ever
This is not synth-pop. (I have nothing against early 80ies synth-pop like Yazoo and the first Depeche album, to name two.)
But this is synth-ROCK - and in 1981, this was as good as it got. (If Led Zeppelin had used synthesizers ...)
Ultravox's Rage In Eden was a gangbusters album in '81. It still is.
Infact i prefere Midge ' s voice in songs : Vienna - Thin Wall - Vision in blue- Passing strangers ecc because very strenght- metallic- modern-pure energy- direct and much more that i don' t say.
Classic song, takes me back to the good old days of the 80's. Best decade ever.
I was 21 Clare, young foolish and learning about life, and the 80's comes with me on life's journey.
They were a Great New Wave band, I think Warren drumming really was amazing.Midge voice is the voice, deep and sexy, hard to define. Bass and Keys goes without saying.Awesome.!!!!
This band elevates you. Tell your friends.
Definitely a better vibe about the UK back then
Such a great song. Dare say, hidden classic. Just exudes a cool but mysterious vibe
James i agree listen to paths and Angles the B side from Rage In Eden.
@@haydenwittig8877 yes a fine track. Pre MU I think, presumably still with Visage. Reminds me of Soft Cell Memorabilia, both so ahead of their time. The Cocteau’s had some great B-sides as well but their music was borderline genius anyway
You can dare say! I practically lived in an FM station in the 80s and I barely heard this one! - but it certainly did stick in the mind.
My favorite band in the '80s...or as my friend Mark always said, "They're the only band that matters."
You guys got me through my childhood. Will love Ultravox forever ♥️
Proud to live in the 80...
This time was the best...
Ultravox was my first concert with 15 at the "Theater des Westens" in Berlin👍
Most respect from Romania! We are here listening! Thank You for the last 50 Years of music!
Huge fan of Ultravox .Every track pure new romantics .Brilliant
There is certainly a level of sophistication that you don’t often find now.
The message is still clear in 2023. I guess this song is timeless classic.
I've been looking for this song ever since I lost my Sony AHF cassette tape. I heard it on FM 10 years ago. From Okinawa
Love Ultravox! My favorite 1980's band hands down!
Masterpiece !!! 👍
Gems like this one are forever immortals
Finally the full video, I love it😍
Maybe I could write some more, but this song is just breathtaking and unique like every song of Ultravox. A masterpiece of music :D
U571...I had to order VIENNA. ..waited a week ..gotit then the stupid w ¥₩*$#@! Bought Joe dolcie. ...shut ya face shit...just a prelude to today's idiots...no taste. ...no sense...rebel!?!ya#@!@/$?*&%÷##...algebra..solve that...o
QaaqA
One of the best videos of the 80s in my opinion. Set design, costume and direction are bang on.
Many videos from the 80s are like small movies with a story. I agree, this one is the best.
Ruhe in Frieden Cris Cross . Ich bin seit den 80'er Jahren großer Ultravox Fan . Die Nachricht hat mich sehr berührt . Deine Musik bleibt in guter Erinnerung . Habe immer eine CD von Ultravox dabei im Auto .
The best song of Ultravox
the topest
We are now entering a world where every word , every look, every action is being judged by someone , somewhere.
Mi favorita de ultravox !!!!
The voice of conscience, among other things.
I got this on 7" vinyl - still epic!
One of the best bands I ever saw live
Remember playing this on vinyl in the eighties. Takes me right back to that time listening now. 👍
Outstanding and outstanding album!
Look at the sound of your voice...the shape of the power of the voice!!!!!
truth
Absolutely superb, another classic from Ultravox!!!!! Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Voice was one of the first and one of the very few Records that i ever bought when i was a teenager.
I was 13 and i hardly had enough money to buy a sandwitch,let alone a Record. 😆
I was so hooked on the Song,i can clearly remember me playing it time n time again.I can also remember playing the B side,Paths and Angels which i also found great.
This guy Midge Ure really MADE this band. Once he got in, they became a success.
Agree but this direction of the band started out with the last album named System of Romance which was recorded with their previous vocalist. I too used to think that U.vox was equated to Midge Ure but after hearing that album I changed my mind a bit.
it was different ages, second half of the 70th and 1st half of 80th... they had a well shaped project of 3 albums with john foxx, produced by brian eno at their beginning then changing their path when entering midge ure. you can understand we have sort of 2 different bands
@@XanAxDdu The core stayed the same. It wasn't simply about changing vocalists, everyone contributed. That's why there's a continuity as well as innovation.
@@user-yc5um2pl5v for sure we have a band into crossing the years and producing sort of avantgarde pop rock made by punk electronic something coming as from krautrock then hard rock and celtic folk beat so for sure they always tried to maintain an identity while making innovation for me the best band of that age remains the police the most creative and for me also till today so out of range. other strong bands from late 70 and early 80 have been japan and david sylvian, talk talk, tears for fears and depeche mode. though also simple minds and u2 .... everything but the girl and level 42 were also very performative
Amazing song
Such a Great Great Album; every song was good, some, like this, are timeless.
They were Magic 🙏👍♥️
Midge was such a beautiful man.
*oh yes*
Is He Dead?🤣
Fortunately no, but the beauty dissipated many years ago, along with his hair. ;)
I saw them and i was so awesome!!! I'm gald that i was there in the 80s.. everything in the 80s and 90s ... until 2004... everything after was charging... who needed technology, when you lived then!!!
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
Been a fan since “Slow Motion” was gutted when John Foxx left.
However I think Midge is fantastic with quite an aggressive vocal style and a nice guy to boot.
Best song they ever did im still playing it since 1981
The reason I've stayed alive this long is because I want to see young people enjoying this during the revival.
Whoever's posted the thumbs up,? Still living, and still hopeful!
Thanks your a proof the world should not be given up on!
as a young person and a fan of ultravox, i can assure you my generation are enjoying it :)
@@nightcorejaix3260 Grear to hear that... coming from me an 80’s kid
I feel this song so much
Lots of synthetic but the drums are all manual. Warren Cann was on point on every Ultravox track he played on. Superb.
Impecable, e infravalorada, la mejor canción de Ultravox sin duda.
La mejor canción de quién??????
No no es la mejor hay otras dos tres buenas también
@@josecerezo1806 hay muchas otras buenas, pero esta es mi favorita.
midge lives up the road from me. what a life has lived!
I just heard this on Richard Blade's Thursday theme show and it was awesome
Killer song
This is the power of real music!
Yet another powerfull 80's classic from Ultravox ! ✊
This is one of the 80's new wave bands.
Masterpiece!Such a timeless cool about the vocals, lyrics and video.Has aged way better than most stuff from that decade, sounds downright contemporary!
Ultravox is that rare band where the verses are every bit as catchy as the choruses, like in this one, "MIne For Life"; "Hymn" and "One Small Step".
Ultravox.... eternal love!!!
I LOVE this band saw them in Toronto 1982 was mind-blowingly good so powerful and mystical ! Something deffo going on in this video, I wonder who the 'light' was...? My Dad met Midge as he came to the Air Canada cargo dept to sign for their gear and never got an autograph for me damn it!
Great Voice!!! I love it!! ❤️❤️
Not only Edward Norton is a great actor but also Good Singer.
INSUPERABLES...... Say no more....Incredible.... NO WORDS...
A glass of red french wine in an old VW and Ultravox. Perfection 💓💓💓
I bloody love this. It's like picking apart everything ever said by anyone with a supposed authority
