I am much older than both of you, and was an adult when this song came out. If you have ever been through a divorce, lied to and cheated on, this song means a lot more. Kind of an anthem for showing someone they can't ruin your life and things move on. Probably a breakup was his inspiration for the song.

So, I, as Rich, loved this band. They did in fact Make a comeback in 2006 with all the original members. Tour with new albums and the Like. In 2013 Steve Howe the Guitarist "retired" but ASIA continued with a new guitar player, Sam. In 2017 John Wetton, the Bass player and lead singer passed away. Rest in peace and thank God for ASIA. *** ASIA was formed as a "super group", as all the members were from successful other bands previously. John Wetton (King Crimson), Jeff Downes (The Buggles & Yes), Steve Howe (Yes) & Carl Palmer (Emmerson, Lake & Palmer). If you listen carefully enough you can hear each distinct individuality of the members in ASIAs' songs.

FYI - there are actually *two* bands called "Asia" right now - original members Carl Palmer and Geoff Downes have carried the original banner with Billy Sherwood and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal as Asia, while former singer/frontman John Payne (1991 - 2006) has formed "Asia featuring John Payne" and performs Asia songs. Keep your eyes open and you might get to see one or the other - or even both - in the next year or two!

Love it, Rich! I have long been a die-hard metal guy. Makes my wife cringe, listening to my stuff, as our musical tastes are vastly different. But over the years, I've been able to throw her for a few loops, when certain songs pop up like an ABBA, or Bread tune, and I turn to her, "I've always loved this song!" Perplexed look on her face, "Huh? You?" This is another one...I too have always loved this one...cranked to 11. Had me nostalgic with this vid. :)

@pauldoerwang4879 5 жыл бұрын

I can't overstate what this band meant to teenage me. This band was THE gateway drug to my prog obsession. Indeed EVERYTHING about my future musical identity and my personal music journey was shaped by this band. From here I explored Steve Howe's YES, Carl Palmer's Emerson, Lake & Palmer, John Wetton's King Crimson as well as an awesome band called "U.K." (Quite underappreciated and arguably a sort of more proggy "proto-ASIA". Both were quasi "Supergroups" as well.), And Geoff Downes' time with YES as well as The Buggles" ("Video Killed the Radio Star" being their big hit). My brother took me to see ASIA for my birthday back in 2012. I'm glad I got to see Wetton before he passed. A voice so distinctive and wonderful. I miss him terribly.

"Raoul and the Kings of Spain" is a hidden gem too. Pick any song, I'd recommend "Me and My Big Ideas" or "Falling Down". "Sorry" is a big surprise, I can hear Bowie singing this. Since we're talking TFF, great duet with Oleta Adams "Woman in Chains".

#Asia - Heat Of The Moment (must do) (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada - eh!) - I know it's not a first reaction, but it's a beautiful song! There may be individuals out there that aren't aware of it's existence!! This was a pleasant surprise!! I still remember when my sister (13 years older than I) introduced me to Asia - I think I was 5... Heat of the Moment and Only Time Will Tell were spun on the turntable 'ad nauseum', but such set in motion my love of 80's synth rock. What a beautiful tune. The video was 'meh', but I loved the harmonies & musical performance! Great reaction guys!

Rich is about my age (1 year older) And, for anyone in that age bracket, MTV was the single biggest exposure to music - more so than radio - because you'd go from Asia, to The Cars, to Michael Jackson, to Judas Priest, to Paul McCartney, to Blondie, to Gary Numan, to Flock of Seagulls, to Def Leppard, to God only knows what else... and you sucked it all in.

@drew65sep 5 жыл бұрын

Arguably, one could call this a "supergroup" with members coming from different bands (Yes and/or Kansas or Styx if memory serves). They had three or four top ten hits off this LP. Was the first reserved seating show I'd ever been to (I suppose that fans were getting smashed and injured on the front barrier because of the crush of people trying to get to the front). Second row, center stage... after camping out for two days in line waiting for tickets to go on sale lol. One hell of a party for the 3-4 hundred fans sitting on the sidewalk next to the Civic Center.

The final version of Asia was half ELP and half Yes. I'm sure you're familiar with ELP, but THIS song, Touch And Go, was by Emerson Lake and Powel, Cozy Powel. It's a POWERFUL song, especially considering it's by a trio. I think you'll both enjoy it, if you've never heard it before. Fasten your seatbelts!

@mollysmith6055 5 жыл бұрын

Very interesting! I never had access to MTV in its early days (hubby did) so I never saw this before today but enjoyed the album for itself. But now watching this I get that teen boy tie-in with what hubby said was a 'popular' 'exercise' series of women in leotards doing aerobics or gymnastics set to peppy music back then. Draw your own conclusion. ;) Thank you for showing this version of this song I've never seen.

Not sure if you listened to any of their later stuff but on Aqua, Al Pitrelli plays guitar. If you are wondering where you heard that name, well he was in Savatage, TSO, Megadeth, and Alice Cooper to name a few. Sadly the CD came out when prog-rock and 80's music was taboo. I had to buy it as an import. Great CD especially Someday and Who Will Stop the Rain. If you're ever in a mood give those a shot.
