Me too 🥰🙌🏼

I hear that!

👍👍👍

I was probably 4 or 5 at the time but this song still gives me the chills. songs from the 90s, a little less but they still had impact. I remember little from the 00s and 10s even if they were good or catchy. There's no magic in most music these days

Yep I agree great time to grow up I was 17 in 1981 I'm fifty seven now this music is eternal

WORD! I am seeing them live next month.....

I saw A flock of Seagulls on Thursday, 2/16/23. Glad to experience live music from my childhood when I was 10.

I think this is just a timeless song

@@liamgillett9068 It's timeless because it's "Space Age" as the tittle says. It still sounds pretty futuristic.

2045. This song is awesome!!!!!!

Man did they ever.

Forever thankful to be Generation X🤘

@@Sanguine_AddictionHell yeah!

If the producers of Stranger Things can include this song into a future season then the younger gen will appreciate it

was born in 70 so wow what luck for me - am stuck in late 80s forever so the future and now can just F O

You speak the truth,my faithful,ahem like-minded companion

ok home many times did he stroke the guitar

it has nothing to do with words, thats what our current simple brain thinks that word counts make something great.

He played this song using a Irish penny.​@@musicland2024-gq2pb

so is that eagle haircut

I REALLY wanna see what it was like. I'm 14, but LOVE the 80s. I'd love to live in the 80s for a week.

I was there and loved this when it came out but to be honest I would trade that for being 20 again.

@@catemills5696 you didnt miss anything. You have your youth plus you still get to enjoy 80s culture. I would gladly trade you your age for mine.

The 80s was a magical time to grow up. I absolutely loved the New Wave music of the late 70s to the mid 80s.

Let me introduce you to 80s nostalgia & retrowave...you're welcome.... 80s are always with us because they're ETHERNAL. Just play some nice synthpop or italo disco :)

Amen to that

You just described this song perfectly in how it affects me when I hear it.

i was born in the 90s but i get a similar feeling listening to this song probly cos my dad raised me on 80s movies

Good job explaining

Perfectly Said.

Actually, I like "Wishing" but this is a close 2nd...I think "I Ran" was their first hit is why, not because it's better.

agree 100%

This one will forever be my favorite. Even though I also love their “other hits” 😊

🌟💯🌟

Stop cutting your hair that way Said my mum Great to be 80s

Those of us who played vice city got a little taste of it

yes i experienced the 80's the first half was the most magical and it felt like i was living in THE TWILIGHT ZONE, i thought it would never end it was really magical

@@tonydisanto6730 I graduated HS in 88, and in so many ways the 80's were a fantastic time. So much good music, politics weren't so overbearing, and everything made a lot more sense back then.

Agreed. Early 80's was a great time to be alive man.

Never had a worry...😎

I'm playing along right now Louie. Good vibes, brother

🤗🧡💛💚💟

Indeed, well said!

I think the guitarist listened to some Alex Lifeson growing up. The guitar parts sound very early 80s Rush, like Signals/Grace Under Pressure. Not saying this guy was a good as Alex or anything, but I totally hear Rush in the song.

@@michaelburkhart4574 Well what you are saying might be true both albums you cited came out after this song was made.

Your brother was a man of excellent taste.

May he rest in peace. God bless✊🏿

God bless you and your Family.

RIP..Cool Brother.🙏✝️❤️💐💐🤘🏼😜🎸

Great taste he had. R.I.P to your brother, sending love to you and your family.

Totally agree👍

Like the hair!

All bout da hair, but I cry for the pre-Reagan era. I was there. It was fun

mike score the singer great song writer

One of my favorite 1980’s classics

I would have loved to seen the faces at that reception....😆

I was on board till you said "crushing it." Oy.

@@lefkytheshin Wow man, be careful you don't cut. seeing as how you're so edgy. I wish I was as cool as you. Darn.

Crushing it? Oy. Why folks insist on using those tired, idiotic phrases is beyond me.

@@lefkytheshin And I can't believe that proper English exists, and you still type "oy"

Too true, a great time to be a Watford fan too! :-)

My dream was going through high school in that time period. That never happened, though.

A dream is what happens when someone's asleep and nothing good comes of it so yeah, sounds about right.

Being old enough to go into bars in the 80's did rock. Music was so much better then.

What do you think the 2080's will be like? Isn't that a crazy illusion - the 1980's will rock forever!!

Welcome to the Flock ❤️

❤💞💖💕💓it's just magic

Same 😂

Jeremy Schmidt : I’m warning anyone once you play any song over & over its gonna repeat and give you insomnia trying to sleep I like repeating songs too.

Let me guess ready player two?

Nice but you missed the 60's, the greatest era of music.

Me too ❤

Dude!! I'm with you on the same boat... Nobody but us from that particular time will understand our thoughts... Welcome back to the future...Welcome back to the 80's... The greatest times ever... Great new music era, great futuristic movies, new futuristic technology... Welcome back to the 80's... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a great set of memories. Remember him well, through his great taste in music.

Music will always walk with you.. fortunate

Just got choked up reading that. God bless you and your father in heaven

Los padres entregamos parte de nuestra vida al hacer conocer ésta música a nuestros hijos...es algo maravilloso el legado que te dejó❤🥲

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ the 80s were an age when anything was possible.

Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By indie 80's artist Robert Nix

SAME!! MEEEE TOO!! 🙋🏻‍♀😔

I wanna go back then!

You and me brother.

You still have their sound 🤷‍♂️

Kyle Reese and a T-800 did it already and now the future is not set.

I wish !

I over shot and landed in the 1880’s once

Gimme that paradox, ill sure be with u, bro.

Lived through the 80s already, it's a lot emptier than you think. Not the shiny golden era you think it was. Everyone remembers the bling and shallowness and glitz and forgets about all the horrible crap. As usual.

Every decade since 1950s was magical. Even 2010s.

Truly magical. This song makes me yearn for my younger years.

Thanks to the internet you can relive it!

Best time of my life!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wait till you hit 51 ;)

Miss the arcade, hanging out with friends and enjoying the music.

hell yeah

@@richardmoore2718 Arcades are one of the things I miss the most about the 80s. Spent so much time (and quarters) at those places.

Me too, and so do millions of us...I want to go back too...I loved those times

The dude definitely started winding it up right here 1:33. His solos were a great compliment to the keyboard. I miss waiting to see what video came up next.. those were the days..

Nah, the undisputed “genius and riff master” is and always will be Tony Iommi. With Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix tied for 2nd.

@@InTheMindOfDavid Of course. But there are far more! For example, Steve Clark, Slash, Angus Young, etc. But Paul Reynolds, even if he is not a rock guitarist, belongs to one of them thanks to his unique and exceptional style. After all, it plays as if you were really hearing Flock of Seagulls

TOTALLY!!!✨🥰

It was the most fun!!

New Wave and Synthpop are definitely represents 80s music

It was purity it was so creative 80s rock n roll

81 to 84 we're the greatest 80s era.

👍😂

A time sadly passed , I'm 53 and miss the 80s so much , the song is another level compared to today's insincere songs,

Me too im 52 and with great memories of the good times.

Im 64 and I absolutely concur with you Debra , I miss the 80’s sooo much 😢 ♥️

ya heard of NWA?

Ditto! When it comes to time travel, KZfaq is the place to be!

That was childhood

This was not in a movie. If you’re talking about the 1990’s movie Career Opportunities, this song was not it in. Someone thought it matched a scene where Jennifer Connolly was in. And the most under appreciated song of the 80’s.

Bands really. Its not me talking. Photograph telecommunication. Very cool songs.

@@keithmohr5923 Yes it is in the movie called NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE.

Oh, bs.

if anything i'm glad we aren't in the 80s anymore. we keep mentioning all the great things like the music etc. but we shoduln't forget things like the AIDS situation

@@KlaireMurre Because everything's so much better now, right? In the '80s we were tearing down the Berlin Wall. Today communism is well positioned to finally destroy the West and we live in the cultural wasteland that goes along with it. No decade is without its challenges and sorrows but if you aren't longing for the '80s now, I promise someday soon you will be.

@@eigrp I was born in 1988, what were the best aspects of that decade, besides zero political correctness, and synth wave/electronic music?

@@allisvanity...9161 "besides zero political correctness" Well, we could stop right there. However, politics and the destruction of our freedoms aside... Movies from Kubrick, John Hughes, Spielberg, John Carpenter, James Cameron, Oliver Stone, Ridley Scott... Music of many genres from a record industry willing to take risks and invest in artists for the long haul. Early home computing kicked ass. Dungeons & Dragons and the like, i.e. physically getting together with friends and having a ball without spending a lot of money. But probably the most important aspects are the things we didn't have: cell phones and social media. We were free and the stupid little things we did and said as teenagers wouldn't become public and permanent and ruin the rest of our lives.

@@eigrp Thank you for your detailed answer! What was the left talking about back then beside anti-Reagen/Thatcher? By the way, 1984 staring John Hurt, and Richard Burton is on amazon in DVD, and Blue-Ray formats!

😂😂

james williams i bet it was beautiful!

❤

It sure was! It still thrills me! Music today has none of this charm, optimism or innocence.

What a time to be alive, The 80s

Golden times they were bro.

Readily admits that he is a protege of The edge from U2

You are right!!

WE took his greatness for granted.

@@jerryphelps3884 and the Edge ripped off Keith Levene from PiL

Makes the whole song.

Well said!!!

All the more reason to cherish the 80s. I certainly do.

‘Get off my lawn’

Couldn't agree more.

...4144 Do not be sad. Look at it this way, how lucky we were to live in that time and how lucky we are to be able to listen to them now. / No estés triste. Míralo de esta manera, qué suerte tuvimos de vivir en esa época y qué suerte tenemos de poder escucharlos ahora.

Same here...I was much more into the New Wave stuff like FOS and Echo and the Bunnymen, the Church, the B-52's...God, it was one awesome song after another...

Paul marco esta banda dando un sonido inigualable,junto al gran bajista eran un gran complemento. A flock of seagulls icono de los 80s

I liked it all!

He was so very young, too. Just a kid of 17 when he joined the band, and 20 when this song was recorded, if I remember correctly.

RedHannya 👍 yup..

Chris Changstein Yes! I believe Paul was 14-15 when he joined AFOS and he was around 16-17 years old when they hit it big with I Ran (So far away) It's really sad he had a break down though and couldn't handle the rock n roll lifestyle + I think he had an alcohol problem. If you watch the VH1 bands reunited episode for AFOS they talk a little about what happened. =\

Chris Changstein No problem! Paul Reynolds is seriously one of my favorite guitarist !

U2's Edges has spoken about him in glowing terms. I've read that Reynolds was just a teen at this point and the pressures of the biz took their toll on his health.

underrated is an #understatement.....

yea but leave god in church ok

@@musicland2024-gq2pb Sorry I offended your fragile little simp feeelings . you don't dictate what I write.You're not happy? Move tf on.

let me think...

agreed....thats from an 1982 child

Yeah but nobody does anything about it. I try to ask people why they're walking around with masks on still. They just get mad immediately. The reason why times have changed is because people have gotten more docile and hostile.

So true dave

Not for me. Definitely not for me. 2020 was vastly superior to 1982 for me.

I would think that any millennial that’s into Angel and Airwaves, The Bravery, The Killers would have discovered Flock of Seagulls a longtime ago. AnA pretty much sounds like this. But if you’re into that Kanye West crap, you’ll never know what your missing.

VAL13C man, I just discovered Flock of Seagulls TODAY. I’ve heard I Ran before but never knew who it was by. I manage a business centre in Liverpool and we have a chiropodist who has a space here. A very rambunctious guy and lady came in, and she had come to get her feet done. I got talking to the guy, and he said he played bass in a band, blah blah blah so has every older guy. When I said I was American, he said his band was quite big in the states in the 80s. I had never heard of this “Flock of Seagulls” but told him my drum kit is next door, so we went through and he drummed for a sec, then grabbed the bass across the stage (the centre is a part of our church, so all instruments are there). So we jammed for a couple minutes and went back to the business centre. Had a good chat, and when they left, I started YouTubing and Googling this band to see who he was. When I found this song, it got very real for me. AVA is one of my favourite bands, and to hear this sound in the 80s, which CLEARLY influenced the AVA guys, I found it amazing to have met a guy who was a part of influencing them. ‘Twas a good day today!

Paul reinolds he is jew shalom for jerusalem.

The Edge totally took his playing style...

@Paul Beharrell I don't think Paul Reynolds has ever been underrated. We all know the kind of virtuosic guitar player he is.

Facts 💯

me too, ever notice how people posed in pictures in a light hearted way back then, now today people pose like they are kylie jenner wannabees!

Sometimes I cant believe it was 30 plus years ago. We had the best music of all the generations. No cell phones, you just left and came home when dinner was ready. Everything was better. My 501s and my boat shoes or Nike's and my button up shirt with a belt. Gel in my hair.....ahhhh.....

Mary Alatorre I agree with you so much.......what a great time. We did something called “talking to each other.....”

I don't know about you...but, there is a specific time, I would definitely go back to, and relive it all again, except with out all the detours, and pot-holes.

The 80's us when the world was completely set on fire.

I feel like the keyboard synths definitely add to the atmosphere.

It really does!✨🎸✨

The future is built on the past.

Google yaz

Yeah, me too, haha.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbSdo9Ofy82mcmQ.html Then you appreciate this version.. use headphones for best results.. ☮️

lol. i hear ya. i've been playing it a couple times a week for decades.

I agree. One of my very favorite songs! Played it at my wedding! I especially Love Pauls guitar work on this!

Damn, that's right!

True right mate!!

Scott GregH, you couldn't of said anything more true!!!

Good music isn't extinct, just takes a little longer to find it.

It's stlll here. It's called ''80's music'.

❤️❤️❤️

This is one of the most nostalgic songs ever recorded, assuning you were around at the time. Life is short, youth even shorter. Wistful feelings and dreams never to be relived. That's life.

And then The Edge stole his sound and based his entire career on it

@@waz3128 Yes he did!

@@waz3128 oooo, that's pretty low. No, just kidding! Paul Reynolds is amazing and completely underrated. I don't think people give enough credit to New Wave - some of the best guitar pieces, in fact, came out of 80s New Wave songs like this; great guitar was not the sole province of strict "rock" bands.

Such a blissful, beautiful song. A Flock of Seagulls are on my player every day without fail. I hope you get better soon.

You cannot described it better !

I'm so sorry about what you wrote. About anything health related. I hope so much, that you recover, and shall overcome whatever is affecting you. For what it's worth, I'm going through a real dark time myself; And if they would've shown me back then, in the 80s, where I'd be NOW as an adult ----- I would've NEVER believed it! I probably would've shown them that they're "#1", with the correct finger...LoL! Yeah, it was an extraordinary time. No question. Not to be a boring talking cliché, but I would love to go back to the 80s if it was a Human Potentiality. ♡

I am having a health isur right as well and I needed something to heal me and this song is helping me so much. I wish you well!

Hope you're feeling better now.

Almost!😂

Angel Wild 2 am

On the verge of a breakup while blaring this on repeat. I’ve never been more prepared.

5:05 AM for me. Hoping to have this song played at my Wedding in a few months.

good times ol friend

I agree. The only thing that brought it down was the serious threat of HIV/AIDS. That scared the shit out of everybody

So far as I've seen, it was.

@@georgehall6098 x2

without if and but

I'm in full agreement there. Not only that the whole band are underrated! Amazing set of early eighties tunes these guys were my top band as I grew up, still love em, and this song is magnificent perfection! 😎👏

He was really young too. Like 16-17

@@orphan9767 And because of it, according to an interview by the band members and including himself, he burned out way too early. Too much, too soon... as they say. One can only wonder what could've been of him had he been a bit older when he hit stardom.

Unfortunate yesl look at the guitarist for Morrissey an ass kicker you never hear his name?

Aren't we missing the point that EGO will most likely to consume Peter

Yes I can concur that is in fact what occurred in said moment

I agree

I look back at so many songs like this & wonder how they didn’t chart better. Like what were people doing in the 80s? Clearly not recognizing greatness, that’s what.

IMHO this is their best song.

Yes indeed, wish I experienced it though

2020 needs no help making itself seem awful.

America is a rotting corpse.

@@earnestblofeld7905 When *hasn't* America been a rotting corpse? We've had a few occasional moments of "perceived greatness", but I think we really started on a major slide circa our involvement with and the aftermath of "The War To End All Wars", just over a hundred years ago. Woodrow Wilson (or his wife, when she was exerting influence) certainly did his part, before Roosevelt really got things rolling towards the repository of defunct nations.

That's what good music does...

Yeah but it sucks that some of their other videos are still unavailable to watch...

Yeah, but i feel like they cut a bit in it tho

Im still prefer the video with Jennifer Connelly on skates

I'm here because of sym biónic Titan

Yes, i agree with you Darbee. Vevo has a had habit of deleting or marking music video of this song as private. Way to go Vevo!!! SMH.
