in 1989, I was in High School, driving around California watching the sun rise after a party listening to Deadbeat Club, Topaz, and Follow Your Bliss, over and over again.Once the sun was too bright I went home. That was my time...thank you Beth.
Mine was Bushfire..smoking some great weed and listening to the gang. Couldn't believe anyone could sound that clean and pure. Had listened to the B-52's a ton, but Cosmic Thing took it to a new level.
back when this came out, it takes me back. scuba diving near fajardo puerto rico for lobsters, driving across the island in an old microbus, gettin right on some local product. sweet times.
First heard this song in the navy onboard H.M.A.S Darwin. Loved it. it has stayed on my mind ever since. Cindy and Kate are truly wonderful. (oh and Fred to)
Can't believe it, I'm in candy galore when I'm listening to the Bs. Just found this song for the first time and I love it. This group is magical, their songs just hook you up from the start. I have a confession, the Bs has become an obsession to me. I can't stop listening to them.
This song is a real feel good song, you can't help but feel good whenever your hear it. Well done B52,s you are indeed one of my favourites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is def some of the best work that the band and engineers and producers have done IMO.....Tops off an excellent album from an excellent band....Music and lyrics straight forward to humans' existence on Planet Earth.......
Most awesome songs! When I was really stressed back when they came out, I'd about wear the cassette player in my car out. Still excellent chilling music and timeless classics!
thanks for the great music. i tried many times to find these songs on youtube without success. both of these songs make me feel well. follow your bliss is one of my favorite songs. it was a perfect ending to the album.
Seriously, like out of a sort of timewarp, I'm 62 years old and never realised . I'm a girt big B52s fan. I never knew. Loveshack was in my youthyearsagoooo
just woke, 4:30 am here and for some reason I had to hear dry county. Then I remembered topaz here... I love youtube. Instant gratification! Thanks for the posts man.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song, actually both songs... (on the CD, they are also back-to-back)... thanks for uploading (you are the only one with this song)... at least i can listen to it at work ... tripping on B52s right now...
a lil history of me and this song: once i asked my friend to download a b52 song good stuff and instead i got this track..instantly i fell in love with it...only for one of my friends to borrow the cd from me and when i asked about it. he says he can't find it...and i never really got the name of the b52 track... just this morning i used bit torent to download the discography after a two yrs interval and finally i found it.. the big smile on my face is quite menacing to say the least
I am going to see the B-52s in Huntington Ny on October 4th 2011. I hope they play this song and Dry Country. I think this may be a chemically induced song from the lyrics. Shroom varoom varoom
I wish they would perform this in concert during their current tour, along with junebug and bushfire !!! They have recently starting performing deadbeat club in concert and it sounds great! Maybe there is a way to request it !!!!!
@Glomerol Wrong. Like the single off the new Depeche mode which is an awesome song and one of the best videos I've seen in a while. That album has some great Depeche Mode moments.
I put this on the juke box once... it was a song that me and a soon to be murderer had an lsd sweet moment to. i cry for emily such a sweet girl. mike gets what he deserves
In my mind's ear, I hear Topaz verses 1&2, and for the bridge, I'm hearing Ame Caline by Michael Polnareff, and then back to Topaz verse 3 and outro...

This is one of my favorite songs ever. It makes me feel like I'm flying. Anyone else feel the same way?
2022, and , yes!
Kate and Cindy's voices are woven like beautiful braids of harmony. Beautiful as always
I love it

Hi Beth!!! Thank u for descyphering My MOST FAVORITE B-52 Love Hymn. Together forever eternity. Love infinity 💟. I Love u :) 👸God💋
back when this came out, it takes me back. scuba diving near fajardo puerto rico for lobsters, driving across the island in an old microbus, gettin right on some local product. sweet times.
These two songs together are like a wonderful warm trip to another plane of existence.
One of the best from the 90's. A song that can bring you back in time.
1989
Haven't heard this song since 1990... absolutely one of my favorites!
First heard this song in the navy onboard H.M.A.S Darwin. Loved it. it has stayed on my mind ever since. Cindy and Kate are truly wonderful. (oh and Fred to)
My favourite B52's song. The harmonics are incredible. It should have been a single.
topaz was always my favourite b52s song by far
+Barry G. Gould It's so incredibly beautiful.
TOPAZ AND FOLLOW YOUR BLISS ARE MY FAVORITE SONGS
Can't believe it, I'm in candy galore when I'm listening to the Bs. Just found this song for the first time and I love it. This group is magical, their songs just hook you up from the start. I have a confession, the Bs has become an obsession to me. I can't stop listening to them.
this song makes you think there is still hope for the human race
+Elmer Sud Yes The great lyrics are creative positive thoughts.
The old times still exist, but they are beyond our reach...
Amen!
@NigerianRocker Glad that you got it back it is truly a lovely song that always seems to make you happy and gooey inside!

The songs bring some Joy to Life. Bring'm back alive.
Wonderful music...first heard Topaz back in 1989 as I had their cosmic thing CD :) Takes me back in time
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song, actually both songs... (on the CD, they are also back-to-back)... thanks for uploading (you are the only one with this song)... at least i can listen to it at work ... tripping on B52s right now...
this is one of my favorite b-52's songs -- kate and cindy have haunting voices...
love this song ... my favorite tune by them!
Very inspired song, it should be the soundtrack of a movie on Planet Earth.
Amazing song. So beautiful!
Great music, thanks for posting !
glad you included "Follow Your Bliss". both songs are great.
I'd forgotten just how good this was. MrCrackerman1, you are a legend, Sir :-)
Oh, this is a great one, forgot about it! Beautiful, even.
..man, i'm glad radio hasn't overplayed this awesome song!..
I like your video with the lyrics :-) Thank you. B52s are great!
thankyou!! i LOVE this song, love the way you've done it too.x
a lil history of me and this song:
once i asked my friend to download a b52 song good stuff and instead i got this track..instantly i fell in love with it...only for one of my friends to borrow the cd from me
and when i asked about it. he says he can't find it...and i never really got the name of the b52 track...
just this morning i used bit torent to download the discography after a two yrs interval and finally i found it..
the big smile on my face is quite menacing to say the least
I listened this song while reading Elric of Melniboné's saga... Since then, I feel like "in the book" when I hear it ;)
they are the american abba.
great pop. instantly recognizable but impossible to imitate.
Song and animation both amazing 5 stars. yay
One of my favorites too! :)
Reminds me of going to WTA&M... loved it
@TalkingOcean1 I've thought the same thing myself man! It is a super surreal and beautiful tune!
The two best songs on that albums. Thanks MrCrackerman1
Great band from the very start keep working that skirt girls b52s
yes, I did enjoy it very much:)
Super cool!

Cindy & Kate have honey voices!
Great! Well I live by the sea so it has a special meaning for me!!!! :-)
I am going to see the B-52s in Huntington Ny on October 4th 2011. I hope they play this song and Dry Country. I think this may be a chemically induced song from the lyrics. Shroom varoom varoom
Great music for the soul.
flippin excited!

Thankyou I love it!
Nice job on the psychedelic text!
I like Private Idaho too but I never heard of the other stuff....:-)
Awesome! :)
Like the best ending ever!
I really like TOPAZ!
What is your avatar a picture of? I'm just curious.😅
I wish they would perform this in concert during their current tour, along with junebug and bushfire !!! They have recently starting performing deadbeat club in concert and it sounds great! Maybe there is a way to request it !!!!!
my name is topaz :)
follow your bliss is so good
@johnnydepth76 How cool to wake up at 4.30 am and want to hear this!!! :- D
Everytime they sing Topaz it takes on a different meaning.
The album is called Cosmic Thing
brilliant
Is that so? I may not be as hardcore a fan as you for them then b/c I only like a few, this being one of my favorites....:-)
Wow, I'm glad you found it- your welcome.
unique, la partie instru a la fin est excellente
@Glomerol Wrong. Like the single off the new Depeche mode which is an awesome song and one of the best videos I've seen in a while. That album has some great Depeche Mode moments.
great!!!!
sounds just like ecstasy. i love there voices.
Wow, I must put more B-52's on here because so many people like them! :-)
@MrCrackerman1 Yup, you hit a home run with this one!
smooth
@mnsnake Amazing, honey voices both.
@KrisForges Hey I like your rhyme! :-)
unique, la partie instru a la fin est escellente
I put this on the juke box once... it was a song that me and a soon to be murderer had an lsd sweet moment to. i cry for emily such a sweet girl. mike gets what he deserves

@nuyawk55 :-D Well, that's awesome!!!!!
I named my puppy Topaz!
In my mind's ear, I hear Topaz verses 1&2, and for the bridge, I'm hearing Ame Caline by Michael Polnareff, and then back to Topaz verse 3 and outro...
