Of all Ultravox tracks, this is the one that I always feel should have been a single. I seem to remember that it was considered as a single but rejected for whatever reason. I don't know, but whenever I listen to this album, I always think that this track stands out as an obvious choice.
@@crappymeal ahh you got my joke then! So cool, yes Ultravox are my fave but for all out synth pop man the TWINS from Germany are so UP great synthy cooking music also...big regards from wild Australia from a lucky PPG Wave owner!
When pale turns to pink With a soft unnerving ease And all you've built around May just tumble to the ground Will you stand or fall? With your future in another's hands Will you stand or fall? When your life is not your own When white turns to red In the not too distant days Will force and misery Be the life you have to lead? Will you stand or fall? With your children in another's world Will you stand or fall? When your town is not your own White China White China When crimson takes a hold The lights go down on all you've ever known And all you'll ever do is worked out for you Will you stand or fall? When the thoughts you have are not your own Will you stand or fall? Oh, when the freedom slips away White China White China
Had the cassette in grade 10 in '84. This and Are Friends Electric, DM's Now This Is Fun, EatB's The Cutter, Kissing the Pink's Big Man Restless, and Visage's Damned Don't Cry on my paper route mixed tape....Seems very relevant in '24.

Because in the 80s we still had the freedom.
Midge told me it was a record label decision based on budget back then.
Why is it that these 1980’s musicians were so accurate with their lyrics that they still apply today?!
Because if your eyes are open you can see the world from gods pov.
All came down to the world they grew up in still ,a great and strong Britain people wise who had a lot of passion ,for life about them me too 👊
Amazing. And those who listened then are the same who get it today!!!
They were absolute visionaries!
The 80's were quite simular.
One small day is up there with this classic 👊
Saludos para la GRP, Ultravox,de MÉXICO,🇲🇽 3:55 , para 🏴, Escocia 🕊️✨🙏❤️🌹💙, Juan Carlos Martínez González

@@SelamTesfaye-ol1tc Same here same era .Kroq Klos Kmet were the best back then
Great tune, the best synth/new wave came out of the UK back then...even in the late 70s
ULTRAVOX FOREVER 💖💖💖💖!
When pale turns to pink
With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the ground
Will you stand or fall?
With your future in another's hands
Will you stand or fall?
When your life is not your own
When white turns to red
In the not too distant days
Will force and misery
Be the life you have to lead?
Will you stand or fall?
With your children in another's world
Will you stand or fall?
When your town is not your own
White China
White China
When crimson takes a hold
The lights go down on all you've ever known
And all you'll ever do is worked out for you
Will you stand or fall?
When the thoughts you have are not your own
Will you stand or fall?
Oh, when the freedom slips away
White China
White China
Sounds better than ever....

Should win a Grammy in 2021 for best relevant song!
Que estilo el de ultravox.Eternos.👪
Form is temporary, class is permanent.
God bless Ultravox
Thanks for posting! Definitely both a cool and prophetic song, especially 30 year after it was written, year 2020.
40 or almost 40 I love Ultravox I think this track is off lament
@@paulanthony5274 yup, I have this on cassette
How is this song "Prophetic"??????? I can only imagine because how CHINA now or will Dominate the WORLD?
It's about the takeover of the Communist Party of China which happened about 40 years before this was written. It's not predicting anything.
Amazing.
Oh yes
Unknown master piece🤟
Why oh why wasn't this a single?
This way WE (the real fans) get to own it
Sounds so goood!
Awesome
2:20 Blue Monday
I hear it, but not really a copy at all.
Forget LM from Motorola, who was London housemate Li Ming ?
AWESOME
Midge Ure.
I only watched this because this was in a warcraft III custom campaign
I listened to it cause it's great not in a game.
Yeah it is great
@@alphalightning11frost91 I discovered it too because of W3
