Me 😀

I am

Hey! Me too! Was talking about the scene on King of the Hill, where it has no reference at all to the scene and people get teary-eyed over it to this day.@@johnspinelli9396

Me too

Me. I'm here!

The pull to go back is real, but yet it is part if who we are, yet the longing is deep.

I was 15. You are so right.

Now just faded to the bittersweet memories. Like one day everything will be more reason to love the shit out of now, the mystery of life #forevergreatful.

I was a junior in high school and i wish i could go back one more time. Those days problems i would do it over, forget now.

God this comment got to me. I'm not that old but I feel exactly what you said.... My early 20s in college. My problems were girls and life dreams. My mom would always give me advice. She loved this song so much. I lost her 2 years ago tragically. I would give anything to go back to that time. Her giving me advice that I would shrug off.

May I am 70 years old

I looked for this song when I was jumping on a trampoline.

Why would you care such statements are so subjective

Music was just one of the ways the generations today don't measure up to the 80's....

Just if in the video they drove on the correct lane . . . just kidding, 80s English music was the best after the Beatles.

Total Ear Magic. 😑😒😍😏😌😍😎

Im with you

Im with you. Underrated song,very smooth,tender atmosphere

"Loved/Love" it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after "all" these years etc..........there,s something about this song as soon as it starts "takes" you straight back then etc as if time "hasn,t passed". x x x x

If you only have one hit song. This should be it. 😎

I was also 21 in 1985,,, the sad part of it is living through the best time of our lives , and we didn't have a clue. My dad, rest in peace, used to tell me back then, "life is hard, life is beautiful, but life is incredibly too short" . I didn't understand. Now I do.

Keep on goin, life could be a loop I think ! : )

I was born in 1985. I share that in common with this song which is news to me. I didn't know this song came out in 85 until I saw this comment.

Hell awaits you.

I am one year behind you, as it sure was a much better time to get our kicks. Now 59, I realize that everything in this crazy world is actually cyclical. Peace always...

It's realiZing lol

@@rustyzahn8739 Nope, just like there is no such thing as 'color' or ' aluminum' 😃

I don't know exactly why, but this comment really touched me. There's a lot inside that sentence. Thanks for sharing it.

And yet it got better.

So you told your wife that you were happiest, before you met her?. What a guy

oh you are SO right, i still long for those warm 80's days in L.A. at least we got to experience it, you know? our youth will never get to experience that, we've been given a gift:)

Dean Oliver With that magic fire living in us that lived those years.....we shall never grow old my brother, keep singing along..

..don't forget that the political deep state satanists and their minions were long in power back then preparing for their nwo communist world government and our destruction and complete enslavement. You see what they did right now..and we just didn't know it back then. We need to pray Trump is on the right side of humanity trying to destroy them and Q is legit or we're lost.

whiteonyx11 No, what I won’t forget is that our Savior is not D Trump, although I am proud he is our President. This was all planned from the beginning, nothing is lost, this world model was destined to be done away with, and Satan did not plan that, he just thinks he did..

i understand . im 50 and feel older than that . where are skating rinks and arcades and fun ? in my dreams sometimes im there and wake up and get pissed . damn.

Yes it was! Where did the yrs n music go?

As close as America will EVER GET to the 1950’s. Thank you Ronald Reagan!

It's dreamlike. Connects to a special kind of karma. Makes me feel like I'm blasting brainwaves. All of a sudden did, so I just think affirmatively, if that's the way to go.

@@alexgreen5064 You are absolutely correct. Hence the reflection on days gone by.

i mean im sure this song reminds you of past times as a person living in a town/city in new hampshire the feel this song gives off isn't too different from how life still feels in these towns when you went outside plenty of people go outside and are having social interactions if you fail too se that then thats on you

J Bro I was a kid , believing that as an adult I’d enjoy that same world .... I was horribly mistaken 🥺 the magic was gone , from music , to people being social , to just enjoying the simple things

@@leary4170 same. I though that the world of the 80s would be the same world we lived in as adults. I never, ever imagined it would be like what it is now. Everything is so different and technological and it's strange seeing millenials everywhere.

Every generation believes this. Gen X marked the end of an era in more ways than one.

Yup me too miss the 80s

Brother I tell you......I feel the same way...I graduated in 84 n NEVER thought things would have changed so much...ppl don't think b4 they act...don't care about anyone else but themselves . It's crazy. Back in the 80s it was GREAT. Carefree..easy going..How I wish we could go back and start over n not let social media take over. ANYWAY...ROCK ON FRIENDS. KEEP ROKN THE 80S...LATERS👋🤘

Agreed.

Thank you for your comment. I never knew this about Nick Drake. I learned something new today. I've loved this song and wondered who it was about or what it was about. Thank you. 💗 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake

Sorry the 1980s are not coming back

Nick Drake lived before my time, wrote/sang "River Man", a moody piece tinged with nostalgia. I had to look him up. Thanks

That's strange. I grew up in the 1980's and it was an unbearably grim and soulless experience. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, new conservatism, the cold war, nuclear threat, hunger strikers, apartheid, the birth of me culture and the worship of mass consumerism on a scale unseen before, the emergence of AIDS and the out and out hatred of homosexuals, one of the worst famines in recorded history in the region of Ethiopia, rampant racism and sectarian violence on the streets of Britain, terrorism, the war in Afghanistan, the Falklands War, mass unemployment....oh yeah, and yuppies.

@@michaelcraig9449 not even close....

@@galas062 Beatles biggest band ever by far! Jimi changed the entire sound of music. No one else ever did that before or since.

Every generation thinks they had it the best when they were young, and that the world has gotten worse since then. It is human nature, but it isn't true and never has been. Your nostalgia is blinding you to the problems that existed then - the Cold War, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, apartheid in South Africa. AIDS, starvation in Africa, lead in the atmosphere poisoning brains, the hole in the ozone layer. No time is perfect, they all come with problems. I was a teenager in the 90s, but I know it was messed up time too. Today is better, though some things are worse.

Robert Sanko Amen!! I miss those days when music was great!

So damn frickin true Robert Sanko.👍Rock on brother

Your words brought a lump to my throat.

You're right Robert. A huge part of the fabric of my growing up years in the 80's was our awesome music. Not to mention our movies! Such powerful memories & emotions.

It's true, it's a shame the kiddies don't understand. These days when I go into a pub every television plays sports. Baseball, hockey, whatever is in season. In the 80's every TV was on MTV and it was non stop music and videos. They wrote the book on music vids and it really was a different atmosphere.

agreed, poetry pure and simple

Agree--too bad it's not true. I'll be 60 in two months and, well, I just can't believe it.

@@michaelanderson2881 Whats not true? I'm 62 and remember the English summer mornings when I lay on the grass in the garden and listened to the birds and life going on around me. Life seemed slow and warm and safe. Rainy days exploring the attics and winter days stamping footprints into frost or tracing my fingers over frost patterns on the window. Playing games in the snow, catching snowflakes. I'm West Country not Nothern but the gentle nostalgia for those times makes me smile. ( I remember watching JFK's funeral with my parents-didn't understand why, just remember Jon Jon holding his mother's hand. I also remember the storm of '63. Our trees blew down in the orchard and the door to the roof was blown off and snow got in to our upper storey. Our 300 year old front door splintered from the cold and we had to get a new one).

@@rosemarymurlis-hellings8138 So you're saying that time passes. The OP doesn't seem to say that. If the morning lasted all day, we'd never reach evening, and we'd all still be young. So it's a great line. Too bad it's not true.

Agreed. Perfect description of childhood; or at least mine.

I was 30 in '85 and still think the same... A greta song, where has the time gone, I'll be 69 this year and can't help thinking not long to go now... A bit melancholy I know but such is life. Music, how it brings back all those beautiful memories. It is just wonderful.

Watching my Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl & going to detention for cutting up in class! Times of my life!

I really like the way you think and I agree. The spirit of the 80s are in my heart. I try to keep the fun, bright, bouncy lightness to things, even in bad times. And especially when I listen to the music....I’m there!

One of my favorite episodes of that show dude

It was on tonight lol

That's where I first heard it!

I saw that episode 2 week's ago and I had to Google the episode to see who sang that song. I totally forgot that hit. I always loved it. I love it even more know.

Oh thank you! I've always wondered who the song was about, never got around to looking it up!

Pink moon by Nick Drake is a Gem. Thanks for the info about the connection. I had no idea!

I grew up in Tanworth-in-arden not far from nick drakes family home. Very inspiring artist, as is this tribute to him.

The connection is the guitar Nick Drake posed with on the cover of Bryter Layter. The guitar came into the possession of Nick Laird-Clowes, the singer of the band some ten years later and it was used in the recording of the song.

Maybe he wasn't underappreciated. Maybe he was overappreciated... just wasn't any good. I mean to think one song about you was vastly more popular than your entire life's work says a lot about your life's work.

Part of getting old(includes me),you can listen to any song that came out decades ago or recently(if that's what u like).

I always thought being a disk jockey would be fun. Working in the radio station and watching the workings. Just like the wolf man. But then I toured a radio station and watched an evenings broadcast and you basically sit in a room and drag and drop sound bites into slots all day then play on your phone or play solitaire. I just cried. They didn't even have a microphone in the room, they had a small closet sized room with a mic and if he needed to make an unprogramed announcement he flipped a switch went in there and recorded it or said it live and went back to his phone. I cried. I couldn't believe it. No disks no records, no talking or interacting with the airwaves.

@@dustywelchcraneman6614 Back in the 80's when I was on KKJO it was fun. We played records , or carts with songs on them. Some of the commercials were live and we ran out own boards.

@@tamiparris3132 “Take on Me” by A-ha is another blockbuster hit. A little more techie, but hugely popular and still played today. “Africa” by Toto is another song that many remake and is attributed to its gentle sound. U2’s “With it Without You” has touched many souls deeply with Bono’s top notch vocals and great guitar rifts from “The Edge”. Journeys “Don’t Stop Believing” has got to round out this short list of many many great songs from the 80’s. There are literally hundreds of songs across many genres that are very enjoyable. I think that may be the best point of 80’s music, it all sounded good all while being distinct.

Amen to that! I was also 14. We thought we knew it all and wanted to grow up so fast. Looking back, we had everything, including really good music 🎶

With you brother 💪❤️

This is absolutely true what you say. I‘m 48 years old and yes, times were in some special way better than today. I will never forget my childhood playing with friends outside without any cell phone or watch, just listening to the church bell. Very magic song..

@@annetteripplinger7995 Magic is a very good description of both the song and our youth... as you say without watches, phones or all the other gadgets of today.. no social media, uniformity and conformity, cancel culture and mostly bland music. And the ability to play outside.. how precious! Maybe it's true we that we were a golden generation that will not be seen again for many a year... if ever!!

And that's another great song

They never did, so long as we have the music and the memories.

I wish they hadn't ended

"With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers I wish I was back in 1981"

"We'd loot and burn, forever and a day."

Check out "Linger" by The Cranberries. It's a tough one too.

Me too

it is very lonely and melancholic. You nailed it. It was also played at a memorial for all the lost astronauts of the Challenger explosion, which happened a year later in Jan, 1986. It really gives the song that much more of a sad tone.

Agree completely the timelessness of this makes it so brillant. It never had sounded worn out or cheesy it's an amazing tune.

It's because of the lyrics. Lyrics make the song.

Meade Music - Lyrics dont always make a song... You have to consider the beat and the instruments because without those then a song would be somebody speaking into a mic.... Nothing more or nothing less.

DNF Danninetyf singing is not speaking, and as a songwriter i disagree. The instruments are icing, but the lyrics can make or break, imo. This song well written. Other songs from the era sound dated by comparison.

@@verdant2215 That's must _have_ autocorrected. 😏 Must've is also ok. By the way, I love that lyric too.

And so much cooler.

We were on the brink of nuclear war with Russia. Yes, such a joyous carefree time... 🙄

What a name for a band!

Never looked at it that way...how very true!!!!

Born in 79 makes you 70s *baby* , and a half and half 80s kid and 90s kid. I was born in 88. I'm by no means an 80's kid. I'm a 80's baby and I'm a 90's/00's kid, as those were my adolescent years.

who else could rock an ENGLISH HORN like this lovely lady!! AND YES timeless quality to it!!

completely

I agree Michael Chance.

Friggn timeless

Peace Christina.x

Me too x

Same with me Christina

I was just thinking the same thing!

you're talking about my wife! lol.she claims to like music, but as i told her a few weeks ago, in 20years i have never seen or heard you jump for the volume or say "omg, i used to love this song! it brings back so many memories!" sigh... kinda bothers me...

I'm the same...just heard it for the first time yesterday and was moved straight away by it. Amazing.

well said pal

You should stop saying you feel bad for people because they are not as emotionally gifted as you. It is condescending and really a back handed insult. This song is about a time when people were much more understanding of life and there was far less judgement than there is now by the PC left. This is why the people like me who lived through it miss those times so much!

This song murdered me the first time I heard it, so long ago.

Same.

Yessir. I tell ya what

You got that right.❤ The 90s were the last years for great music.

I,ve always said this etc.............fab decade for music/film/tv series..,e,g....miami vice.........dallas............beverly hills cops starring Eddie Murphy.............could go on and on and on................

Also 70's.

awesome. i love this song. I grew up in Louisiana, "Born on the Bayou" was our theme song, lol. cheers!

I'm in Florida. Down here, our theme song is "Cruel Summer". :p

I know what you mean about school and sports because I was there to I did wrestling track football soccer basketball swimming and I would always throw in my tape of my favorite songs.i played Brain Adams,Cinderella, bonjovi,ect ect and this to man just like you said it really hits that point in time when we were once young

Tim Daly I hear you man... I was at Bangor High that winter of '85-'86 running indoor track... it was a cold one like they all were... i assume you were at Presque Isle? If you care to, check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover version of this song & other 80s classics by clicking my channel.

I'm from Northern England this songs tune is so sad especially at the time Mrs Thatcher was closing our pits and factories shut the last city where the car is driving is the most northern city in England Newcastle upon Tyne and that's saint Nicholas cathedral. most of our cities are now run down in the North and we're seen by the south in an unfavorable way.

I feel the same way

Yeah. The Breakfast Club & MTV!!!!

One of myFAVE movies ever!!!!!

✌️ I’m northern England & lived through that era,it was poor but magical and I loved every moment of it-wish I could go back 😢✌️

Thank god for KZfaq and our memories, this is only time machine I will ever know

So was I.

I still have the cool friends that matter at 53

Yeah me too. Best years and best memories

And in 20 years you will be 72, don’t waste a minute of it.

Me!!!

It's not random, it's The Way.

Music unlocks and releases forgotten memories, especially when it is from the 80s

Always in the 80s

mcgavin always McGavin having nice Romiania spirit 🇷🇴

I'm 61 and for me it was the 60's as well as the 70's and 80's!

@@davidtrousdale120 amen, I have an old soul as many would say . I listen to everything from the Benny Goodman orchestra to the Big Bopper to the Bar Kay's to Jackie Wilson to Buddy Holly to Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong. If I could I'd invest and open a true to form jazzy style club that takes you back to that era . Long Live the Era of Music .
