In West Germany, in the summer of 1987, a friend and I would listen to this song almost every day on the way to work. He didn't know who sang it, and I've been searching for.......well 28 years. I just knew there was a line like 'Away......' and something about a knife mentioned at one point. I just heard it on an 80s mixcloud mix just now and Shazamed it. Can't believe I've found it. I was always worried that it wouldn't be as good as I remembered it, but it holds up all these years later. Man, I still can't believe this.

What I appreciated the most about The Bolshoi back in the 80's was that they sounded like a really great "blend" of all the awesome bands from that genre then, all rolled into one. Peter Murphy, Psychedelic Furs, The Cult, The Church, Simple Minds, Flesh For Lulu, etc. the list goes on.

Reminds me of my Goth days in the 80s living in Bristol. Best times ever.

Criminally underrated band and a damn fine one

I’ve listened to this track 8000 times recently

this band deserve an award.

"I know a word could be untrue, and yet still move you." Such a beautiful lyric. Love this song, love this band.

This song was played constantly when it came out in a Punk/New Wave Club in South Florida called Echoes back in the mid to late 80's. I LOVE this song STILL. I truly feel lucky that I had that as a teen...

This song was played in the clubs every weekend back in the early 90s

Very first song I ever heard from Bolshoi. 1986 maybe? Thank you college radio in America...

Many people saying no one knew about these guys here in the US. ILOVED THIS BAND and always felt like I had the wrong taste in music because no one I ever spoke to about these guys had heard of them. I loved this song soooooo much. My heart aches for that era. I’m 51 now only to findI I’m not the only one. Many years spent an isolated fan.

This song brings me back to my youth in Manila. I was wearing semi-bell bottoms , twisted red cross shirt , mohawk hairdo , army medic bag and black trenchcoat. Come to think of it, that later that became Goth. Best of times, punk and new wave were being played by DWXB 102.7 FM. Good times.

the Bolshoi are one most underrated bands of the 80'$

That drummer is badass!

One of the rare occassions when youtube recommends something worth watching. Great lyrics, guitar work and tight rythm section. Thank you, The Bolshoi, for such a wonderful track!

31 years later this song still blows my mind.

I'm 50 and I am just learning about this wonderful band. I'm gonna get every disc they've put out!

This song helped me through a miserable time; my sony walkman always had it nearby when I needed it. To be a teenager again! Nope! I do love this amazing song.

Great song, great scenery. I miss the alternative music of the 1980s. Singer has smooth movements and chilled out expressions. 1980s Euro alternative music was the best ever.

I loved his voice so much..

I love Bolshoi.., this is my No 1, back in june 1986...

I'm addicted to this song, first time I can't spend a single day without listening to it 😍. I just subscribed to Spotify and it was suggested ! I'm only 25, so I'm sorry I've never heard of this band, it was a bit of a shock to discover that there is only two albums, they deserved much more recognition in my opinion, this song is timeless and a true classic. I love the lyrics and how they are sung.

Essa batida inconfundível, típica dos anos 80, ainda bem que vivi tudo isso👍👍

They shot this video round Trevor's mum's place, while she was out doing the weekly shopping at Tescos.

Ever since a friend of our played this song for us back in the 80s, it instantly became one of my top favorites. What an amazing, uplifting song and makes you just want to dance, enjoy life, drive or have fun. Great music, absolutely incredible and timeless.

I have the pleasure of seeing Trevor Tanner play locally every so often and truth be told, he is a true guitar god. He just keeps getting better. When he gets to open her up it's amazing, he deserves every listen

Ahhhhhh the genuine 80’s music is soooooooooooooooooo refreshingly awesome compared to what’s out there today. Today’s junk focuses too much on profanity and bashing people and making sure their junk is making them money instead of just giving music fans something to enjoy listening to like 80’s and the 90’s artists did. Pretty sad

The Bolshoi were a tremendous live band and how they failed to break through is beyond me.

An icon indeed. R.I.P. music nowadays ...

I was a music rep in the 80's.. These guys blew my mind w/their dark, surreal melodies and lyrics.. In later yrs I ordered everything from Amazon. Thank God.. Got it all now..

Que soooom !! Quantas boas recordações ela me traz!! Me arrepio sempre que escuto essa música !!

I remember the fall of 1986-1987 Like it was yesterday. Great track.

I'm 50 this year, daaaaaammmm Damm glad I had 80's alternative in my life!!!

The day when people are busy working, studying and listening to good music.

I saw these guys at The Paradise in Boston when they first came to the US promoting this single, ahh the blurry 80's!

The popular music of today lacks the sophisticated lyrics found in this song. This requires true intellectual firepower; something missing today!

Adoro Bolshoi, uma banda que merecia mais destaque no cenário, pois muitos nem conhecem. Música ótima.

Essa música é ótima. Época sensacional, inesquecível.

Eu vivi pra poder escutar essa música maravilhosa! 👏👏👏👏👏

E de arrepiar o arranjo desta cancao um vocalista que sabe como cantar the bolshoi forever

Tocou muito aqui em Manaus em 1986/1987..minha infância,,viva os anos 80!!

Gothic Music !.....the best rhythm of the world !

Que saudades the Bolshoi, the cure,the mission,the sisters of marcy ,the cult e tantos outros gosto muito dá década de 80.

Oh how this takes me BACK to a club called SCREAM downtown Los Angeles on spring street I think. It happened to be used as a setting in Less Than Zero as well. Yeah. It was the 80’s. 1987 Trevor gave me a t shirt and it got permanently borrowed by my friend Vince….

Ds brings back d memory of my dear brother with his gothic style in the 80's love u much in heaven my dear brother 🙏🙏 Really miss u sonny 😥

Nossa, não ouvia há mais de 30 anos. E era uma das minhas preferidas. Emocionante demais!!!!

Everytime i hear this great song, it brings me back to the glory years of music... the 80's.... new wave rules!!!!

I love the facial expressions throughout this music video lol Great song :)

One of my top 10 favorite songs!

Ahhh anos 80....o que dizer disso, quantas músicas e bandas magníficas!!!!!

I'm looking for this song from 25 years!! Finally i've found it! I like it so much!

Não década melhor que os anos 80....que saudade desse tempo!!!

This is one of my most favorite Alternative Music songs! It is perfect in every way!

ai ai anos 80......tempo bom demais!!!!!!

what a great song....and sounds so good years later

I still have the whole Bolshoi archive in heavy rotation on my iPod! 💙

This was one of my favorite "new wave" songs when I was a kid.

I vaguely remember this… hearing it again after so many years reminds me how much I truly like his amazing voice, the music/melody as well. ⚔️🖤🔥

anos 80 do século passado...imortal década!

Grande som de uma banda que ficou nos 80 com poucos singles, mas de boa qualidade!!!

esses caras mandavam muito , grande canção desta magnífica banda . abraçosss

Eles só tem 2 singles de sucesso mas valem por todos da atualidade rsrs saudades do Bolshoi,Simple Minds,The Mission,Oingo Boingo,The Cult,The Cure,Gene Loves Jezebel,Echo & the Bunnymen,The Church,Sisters of Mercy,Killing Joke etc.......

57 still rocking this on 10❤❤ a timeless GEM 💎 ❤❤ USA 80S BEST.

All that memories is rewinding in my mind every time I hear this great song.

Essa banda é muito boa, o travor era um frontman fantástico, o cara tinha um vocal icônico e um carisma sem igual. Sou mega fã dos Bolshoi.

OMG how could I have missed this band in the 80's ? I want to go back

I saw this band live when I was 17. There were two other bands. But I bought their CD Friends. But overall best ever concert. The Lucy Show played and Love And Rockets headline.

Banda extraordinária. Excelente guitarrista e compositor, Trevor Tanner. Ouvi mais de 200 vezes o álbum Friends e ainda sinto um prazer incrivel ao ouvi-lo de novo. Como alguém já disse, uma das bandas mais sub estimadas da década de 80, bem como The Chameleons. Lindy's Party é também um album perfeito.

Best band ever to support the mighty killing joke.Reading festival 1986.Brilliant halcyon days

Life the years 80, wath beautiful it!.

Let Me Go Back To 80's🙏💪🤟

I used to go see a cover band that played this to open every gig. I had no idea who the Bolshoi were, as local radio didn't play such things. If you didn't see it on MTV, it might as well not have existed. It's too bad the Internet wasn't in full bloom then.

The more I listen to it the less I like the 2020’s.

The extended mixes of this song in the club take you places in the mind and your body just follows. Some of the best music from this Era. I'm lucky to have lived it

O bom e velho rock dos anos 80, eu amo desta década

1980's The Best!

Essa é uma das melhores músicas que já ouvi na minha vida♥️

One of my fav bands in the 80's till today...Great band and sound...I attended their amazing concert @ São Paulo, Brazil in 1987 and it was pretty fun...Here the song Sunday Morning is still a HIT...Also love the song TV Man 🤘

My teenage Goth Days.. Danced to this a lot... Excellent share 🌻

Clássico, com certeza esta entre as melhores musicas dos anos 80.Maravilha!!!!!

De "quarentena" assistindo esse clássico...o Covid-19 está lá fora, porém aqui dentro temos YT...

*WOAH.* Stumbled on this via Peter Murphy vid....I used to be a huge Bolshoi fan. Thought I was "all that" because I'd discovered this great obscure band no one had ever heard of (or else my friends were all just lame). Pretty sure I still have a Bolshoi cassette tape! At the time, they were similar to _the original_ incarnation of Ministry during "With Sympathy" days, along with the Blow Monkeys and other "new wave" groups. Good times...

Os 80,s fabulosos num mundo a meio caminho da perdição...onde acabámos por chegar .......PORTUGAL

Eu gosto demais desse grupo. Essa "Away" é uma canção linda, um dos melhores momentos do poprock de todos os tempos. Mas eu não deixo de reparar naquele riso irônico do vocalista Trevor no minuto 1:58... um charme!!!

Perfect !!!

....I like the way these guys look. ...shame you don't see it that much anymore.

I Love this simple version. About 35 years ago there were many exciting sounds .

Just how good is this track ! I remember seeing a clip on Max Headroom and immediately hooked . So much better than the shyte being played today .

This song makes me nostalgic... Brings back memories of high school... one of the best moments of my life...😍😍😍

Masterpiece ! Here in Rio de Janeiro, plays a lot on the radio !!!

I bought the album in 1987 on the strength of this song alone, and I was not disappointed in the slightest by the rest of the material. I had it on LP and on tape cassette, and constantly played the cassette to save the album because I was wearing the thing out! A really really good album this was, there's a lot of strong songs on it, all up to the calibre of this single. I was disappointed they did not get farther than they did, because there was enough hairspray around in 1987 to light most of Minnesota on fire by aerosol can. The Bolshoi definitely broke through that, at least to me, and made an impression. I'm here right now aren't I? It's thirty plus years later and this song is still class. As is the album it came from. You're all fat and jealous.

This entire album is fantastic, every song brilliant. It is odd that they have somehow fallen out of memory.

Their 2 hits are worth a lot more than the crap being churned out today.

This song is everything. x

This is example number one of thousands of how good the music was in the eighties. NO one knew who these guys were back when, so many brilliants bands played, came and went with narry a blip.

Added this to my playlist again some months ago after not hearing it since the 80s along with books on the bonfire. Everything about it brilliant, bass line, the drum fills and the lyrics that you could visually make your own video up to in your head. Tony

Tunner love you. love all your songs.

Very special memories of being 19 RIP. Dear.

Underrated- first cd I ever bought
