1985 I was 18 years old this music was my favorite, today I am 56 years old and this is my favorite music again.

I was there at the age of 19. I was extremely fortunate, not a grunt and never humped it in the jungle. Still I have from PTSD and consider myself extremely blessed to be alive. God bless those troops that never made it back.

.......none of them received a hero's welcome.

I am 76 and I have just discovered this piece of music Thank you so much for writing it And to those dear people who went you are amazing and so brave - thank you so much more Why do still have to have war? I mean the human race has evolved so much especially in the last 100 years Why can’t we settle our political differences by just communicating not confronting?

A friend of mine who was a medic told me about how he had to change before walking through the airport to come home so the public wouldn't see he was a soldier. And another who had bullet holes all over his body from being shot. He was on tough SOB! Miss you John. Salute to all who served in NAM. No they definitely did not get the respect they deserved.

I for one want to thank all vets for their service.

I joined the US Army 1976 and was in after the war. I saw the effects of the Vietnam war on my fellow soldiers. They came back to hatred and protests. Disillusioned about their reason for being there. They fought tough battels and watch many of their brothers die. Vietnam veterans I salute you and thank you for your, scarifies in the field of Vietnam. 19 was the average age. Love you all brothers.

Paul Hardcastle drove it home with this....

Lost a man in this war who was friends with my Father & worked with him in retailing. Father’s friend was EXACTLY 19 and killed by a sniper.

I LOVE this song for 36 years!

I loved this when it came out in 1985, England, we couldnt stop talking about the video at school, it was our Bohemian Rhapsody moment if you like, our history teacher, took the opportunity to teach us briefly about the Vietnam war, how it started why the Americans got involved. Bloody horrific really, She was asked will their ever be a time when there will be no wars in the world? No she said, because there is no profit in peace. And most of our world leaders are fanatics. Prophetic words indeed. Mrs. Bissel parkfields wolverhampton

10 years old and body popping on a mat this tune was deadly

Thank you ALL VETERANS!!! The Shizzy is about to hit the Fizzy so PLEASE TRUST CHRIST NOW 🙏

So many 80's memories with this LP

A Family Freind Of Ours Was A -Tunnel Rat - in Vietnam. He didn't talk about it much. But Basically he was given a flashlight and a pistol to go clear out underground tunnels. War is pure HELL.

TR-808 in full effect. Brilliant tune

my favorite song for decades

Two Tour’s of Duty in Northern Ireland serving with 45 Commando and 4 FD Royal Artillery, lost many friend’s in the field by sniper’s ... Civilian’s will never know what us soldier’s went through to defend our country in hostile condition’s to protect the innocent .. I guess the Grace of God sent his strongest, soldier’s to the battlefield for peace. This tune help’s us 🙂 ..!

None of them recieved the heroes welcome,....NONE OF THEM ! ! ! ...😮 so ironically sad🙄

Royal Marines reinforcements, for the American Marines, during the Tet Offensive, Sent Back in 1987 to 1967 I was 19

I was born in the 90s but why, I love 80s music.

I still have the vinyl album Poul Hardcastle and I still listening and love this album

Marcó una época en la música y en la historia, un legado musical.

Gave me chills then, does today

Bought this on Vinyl from my local charity shop , what a tune

Beautiful music 👌

I was a child during this time but i clearly remember two men that were there. Very sad!!!!!

This song came out when I was 16/7. I can’t imagine my brothers at 19 being drafted . However i and they were Canadian and we’re all GenX . I feel so bad for the soldiers who had to fight this war

"19" is a song by British musician Paul Hardcastle, released as the first single from his self-titled fourth studio album Paul Hardcastle (1985). The song has a strong anti-war message, focusing on the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War and the effect it had on the soldiers who served. The track was notable for early use of sampled and processed speech, in particular a synthesized stutter effect used on the words "nineteen" and "destruction". It also includes various non-speech, re-dubbed sampling, such as crowd noise and a military bugle call.

Nevertheless EVER Forgotten, Salute to all who Served World widespread!!!

Ich war 1984 in der Grundausbildung bei der Marine , die schönste Zeit meines Lebens. Dann kam 19 Paul Hartcastle

My dad was a Marine in Vietnam. So was my uncle .my uncle got a purple heart..I did desert storm myself..but I get it

I was 19 when this track was released

My Fav Uncle was Killed in Vietnam. No comment. Sad. Support our troops.

I have about six different versions of this record on vinyl when it came out, makes me feel old now.

I am listening to the music now.🙂

God Bless all our veterans 🙏 it seems politicians get us in wars sometimes for unseen reasons 🤨

Pezzo intramontabile di quei favolosi anni 80🥰

Klasse, nach Fly By Night habe ich lange gesucht. Wenn man es schneller abspielt mit 1.25, geht es richtig ab... Einfach fantastisch! :)

A Very good Song

The quintessential mix for me; I had the 12" single and played the grooves off it.

In 88 I was 19

This should be remade for these times.

I listened to the lyrics and my Dad was a Vietnam vet so this was never a party song for me.

2 friends❤❤

...I remember registering for the draft during the Viet Nam War and suddenly realized I could die. Then the war ended. It woke surely woke me up to things beyond my control.

Una obra de arte de Paul HardCastle - A work of art by Paul HardCastle-

Das war einfach die geilste Zeit aber die Musik wird nie schlecht es leben die 80er aber sowas von

Thank you so much.

I was like 13 when this came out and back then that sounded so modern and sooooooo coolll This is mythical

Que maravilha ❤

this is a great compilation, am only up to the second track i remember it was only young but hot times in britain and we school-kids went on strike at school got assaulted by the police for trying to talk to the coaches full of kids we blocked the road to the school entrance seen it in the miners' strike

2024❤

Aux innocents💧

na na na na nainteen....

When I was 18, and in the Active Duty US Army, I despised the draft dodgers and "Hippies". I now have respect for BOTH the Vietnam war soldiers AND the protestors/"Hippies". (With the MOST respect going to the DRAFTED.) I recognize in many ways I was brainwashed and naive about quite a number of things (Along with many other Americans both old and young).....Hence my respect now for even JANE FONDA, WHEREAS when I was 18..... ....... "I WASN'T Fonda Jane".🙄

Music wise way ahead of its time.

God bless all vets 3:57

Schöner Classicer.....😘😘😘🔥🔥💪🙏

i was 17 when this song was created

Great Song. I Was A Kid When This Came Out.

I was 19

Pedrada! Porradão de Som! ZZ Club!! 🇧🇷🤜🤛

This song reminds me of how many young people have died in the Russia v Ukraine war. so for the sake of humanity let' the war cease, it is so tragic. A new Hardcastle song should be produced. now!!

Salute! This is too friggin dope!

♥ very good

God bless USA ❤️ respect to the hero's,neen teen ❤

19😢😂❤

800 ,, 000. Still fighting 💪 stillen 🇻🇳

A great tune but with a brain...a very important/intelligent message

Buena música Paul.

had the chance to visit Vietnam many times for work and visited the CuCi Tunnels. They were extensive. Jungle warfare was something the NVA took to another level. They defeated the French in Diem Bien Phu. That should have been a red flag for others IMHO.

Great respect from Best Eroes. Universal Soldier. My dady fightg în Vietnam. Eternal Respect. I'm fight în Afganistan and Irak .My son fight în Ukraine.UNIVERSAL SOLDIER. RESPECT GREAT FROM US.

I may have it around on the 45.🙂

💜

Fly by night would be perfect for the background music in the original outrun arcade game.

Na na na na na na 19!!!!

none of them none of them none of them none of them

Yes I must admit Covid 19 brought me here.

big respect to all nations who fought to freedom in south east asia

A war that definitely should not have happened!

Dolores is the 80s Casual anthem

I was an old man 21 when I hit Vietnam soil

Are my memories messed up? I swear, I remember the shorter version of song being on the radio in 1982.

I was 19 when I went into the military after Vietnam.

Ambush 19❤😢😅😮😊

Stress disorder... for sure 😢

Sending kids just out of college to fight a jungle war with minimum basic training. Disgusting. Poor guys were just cannon fodder and nothing was achieved!!!!!

A theme very sad.......

Sind hier alte Deutsche? Ich war damals 16 oder so. Und ihr so?

👍🏻🎹

The start of trip-hop music genre..

Nice MiniMoog bass line.

And here I am today, over 19 years ago living and working here in Saigon living near the battlefields which is now a land of mixed-use development of hungry rich capitalists!
