    Lyrics:
    You run, run, run away
    It's your heart that you betray
    Feeding on your hungry eyes
    I bet you're not so civilized
    Well, isn't love primitive
    A wild gift that you wanna give
    Break out of captivity
    And follow me stereo jungle child
    Love is the kill, your heart's still wild
    Shooting at the walls of heartache
    Bang, bang, I am the warrior
    Well, I am the warrior and heart to heart you'll win
    If you survive the warrior, the warrior

    1984 I was 10, my mom was 36. She and I would sit and watch mtv videos together often. Videos like this one. She was usually the one to turn the channel on. I had friends who had moms that wouldn't let them watch mtv, I remember my mom found that appalling. She'll be gone for five years this past March. I miss her so much.

    • @RichM3000
      @RichM3000 Рік тому +16

      It's a very artistic video, but it wasn't Smyth's (or anyone else in Scandal's) artistic vision. That makes it easy to see scrapping it. But, I think her record label was right in that it would be dumb to waste all the money that went into making it. And, it's not like it's terrible. It's typical overproduced 80's fare, sure, but for its era it's just fine.

I loved this song so much and I remember screaming and jumping up and down in the hotel room when the video came on. I seriously cannot believe that was 40 years ago. Where does the time go? Anyway, I'll always associate this song with that memory. The 80's was the best music ever!

      @qp9vp Рік тому +3

      ​@giantleprechaun2350 Probably because in the US your identity, personality, should be defined by your skin colour over all else. It's a bizarre phenomenon that unfortunately seems to be spreading. In Europe its not so much skin colour as parents country of origin, religion and/or political ideology (mostly those far left and far right). Its a sad thing to see. I remember when I grew up and all my class mates liked a band with lyrics that were left anarchistic. Everyone listened to them no matter if they were liberals, conservatives or social Democrats. Personally, I believe that you can dig whatever music you want no matter your skin colour, culture, religion or political ideology. They are not necessarily connected.

They are on a remote Greek island in a beautiful villa, it is night, very quiet. This is a very mysterious story and that atmosphere is strong at this point. The guy, 'the magus', lets the quiet linger, then says against the backdrop of the night."The dead live."HIs guest asks, "How?""The magus answers "By Love.."YOur parents live on through your love for them and your enjoying the music they brought to you.

      Patti Smyth described the video as "the director fell in love with this guy at the gym and stuck him in this video". It's terrible, like off-broadway cats

      Heh, you missed out man. The 80s really was something special. In 86 I was finishing high school.Saw so many concerts that year, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, et al. Parties, clubs, fashion, etc. It really was amazing.

    When I first heard this as the intro theme to Knuckles, I thought it was a really good 80s homage...
    Turns out it was an actual 80s song. Ain't complaining tho.
