This is the extended version of the song "Secret Separation" by The Fixx which was the first single off of their fourth CD "Walkabout". The song peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 26, 1986 and for two weeks at #1 on the Mainstream Rock Chart starting July 5, 1986. It was their second of three #1's on the rock chart. It also peaked at #83 bubbling under the UK Top 75 chart, as well as reaching #39 on the Canadian pop chart. This video includes footage from the trailer for Warner Brothers' "The Fountain". That movie as well as this song are about lovers separated across time (sort of). I do not own copyright to the video or the audio.
LYRICS by Jeannette Obstoj
We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
Ooh we must meet with other names
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me now free me
Don`t watch me cry just see me go
I`ll take away the strongest feelings
You will ever know
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me
Be brave
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
We are matching spark and flame
Caught in endless repetition
Life for life we`ll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you only to love you
In another life
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
I`ll bear one precious scar that only you will know
Passengers in time
Free me

The Fixx, with their 80's lineup intact, finally released their new CD "Beautiful Friction" on July 17, 2012 and it's getting fantastic reviews! It's available on Amazon, iTunes and elsewhere.

William HB: I was just thinking of how this song (and other ones from other bands) are my favs and never made it big. And was thinking there has to others like me out there who feel the same. Then i see your comment. This was Fixx's best song. BTW: What's a Baird? Just kidding. That was a line from the movie The Couch Trip.

@derekbaker3279 4 жыл бұрын

The Fixx were popular in Canada, and this song got a lot of airplay in Ottawa (where I lived at this time) and in Toronto. Both of these cities had a great radio station with very knowledgable DJs who played a lot of non-commercial music, so this song was in regular rotation. (sadly, both stations were purchased by media conglomerates in the earrly 1990s, many DJs were let go or chose to leave, & the quality of the music quuickly went down the toilet.)

Lovely, sublime extended remix..... Memories of bicycling through Texas A&M campus during wee hours blasting a 99-cent copy of Walkabout cassette album through my ancient Aiwa "walkman", dosed to the gills on fine white-on-white blotter and fresh shrooms in early October 2001, just after witnessing the crumbling of WTC towers in my NJ/NYC hometown. Nothing can erase the indelible memories of my post-911 Sabbatical I spent in Bryan/College Station and chilling with local DJs at KEOS FM radio station. Good times with the FIXX, The Three O'clock, PM Dawn, Fat Mattress, Ian & Sylvia, and too many other eclectic "oldies" to list here. Many thanks to Herr Straub and his hospitality and sublime playlists of his Kraft-o-Matic Bed o' Nails radio show. The whole Walkabout album, plus some choice Flaming Lips, 13th Floor Elevators, Neutral Milk Hotel, Husker Du, etc. made it all wrthwhile. Ashes ashes all fall down. ....

I saw you long ago, we were in line waiting to come here, I looked back to see who else was going and saw you, you saw me look at you then you looked down, it was my turn and you, trapped in my mind as I left, you followed 127 days later, both arrived in the same town, then I saw you again years later and I knew I had seen you in that line in Heaven waiting our turn to be here. I've seen you throughout the history of histories and I suspect I'll see you again, Ruth.
