    The singer/bassist is the late John Wetton who played with King Crimson, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash and others. The other guys, Geoff Downes (keyboards) and Steve Howe (guitarist) came from Yes and drummer, Carl Palmer came from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They were basically a supergroup.

Then John Lodge did the songs of Moody Blues... Then Carl came back and did a full set with Asia... the man was 69-70 and he played the heck out of those drums for two sets... he's in great shape... there are a lot of men half his age that don't have that kind of endurance.

    I so much enjoy you guys sharing your reactions. I am a huge fan. Being 52 years old, I can recall waiting for just the right song to come on with a cassette loaded in the tecnics sereo system that occupied the top of my bedroom dresser. just hoping the radio dj didn't talk too long at the beginning or ending of the song and hoping the recording levels were p to par, the tape ran smoothly and all that. What a brilliant time to be alive that really was. I think this is one of the most bombastic of all 80's songs. The whole arrangement is theatrical and over the top just like being alive was, back in the day. you know what else it was? Vulnerable! Damn 80s musical artists were vulnerable! Innocent AF. SO DAMNED HONEST with themselves. I see today's youth as tremendously guarded hiding behind sweatshirt hoodie and ipods and running scared. Not that I blame them. They have 10x the awareness of imperfections in society as I did as a youth. They are doing what youg people do surviving until adulthood, surviving until they have a voice. Watching and calculating. In the 80's people just put it all out there recklessly, yet theatrically.. lWithout this channel I would have never made this connection or felt motivated to share. Praise God for youtube and for ROB SQUAD.

They left the band to do their own albums and got into directing videos when they were asked to do a promo video for their song 'An Englishman In New York', when the director that was hired to do it couldn't grasp the concept the duo were proposing; so, they did it themselves. They also directed The Police 'Every Breath You Take'.

    Asia....I don't know....there is something about this song and the song "Only Time Will Tell" that feel so bitter sweet. There is a beauty and sadness to them. Each time I hear these two songs, perhaps more than any other songs from my childhood, they pull back in time with such strength and longing, to some quiet magical space in the clouds just above the neon and the city streets. I was a pop chart kid so these two songs of Asia's are pretty much all I have ever heard from the band, but these two songs were more than enough to make me love Asia for the rest of my life! 82 crew!💖

    The singer (and bass guitarist) is the late John Wetton. Great singer, great songwriter, great musician. If you like the drummer on this song, check out his solo with ELP at the California Jam. Carl Palmer is not just as good a drummer as has ever played, but an amazing showman, too.

    Great song! Great Band! John Wetton on vocals and Bass, Carl Palmer on Drums, and Steve Howe on Guitar, Geoff Downes on Keyboard. They were a Rock Supergroup. You got ripped off, however, you got connected to a really short version of the song. Kudos to both of you for playing this band!

    In the early summer of 1982, when I heard there was a band named ASIA featuring musicians from YES, King Crimson and Emerson Lake and Palmer, I rushed through my senior final English exam , drove to Record Bar at 10 am picked up the album, drove straight home, listened to it a couple of times then jumped behind my drums and proceeded to pick out Carl Palmer’s drum parts. I have bought every ASIA album when it came out for the last 40 years.

I would play those albums one after the other, non stop. Oh the days before UA-cam, Spotify and the likes, when one would take the time to discover all the songs on the albums.

It still gives me goosebumps if I haven't heard it for a while... like now. Thanks for the review and reminding me of this song. I can't believe it has been a few years since the last time I listened to it.
    Tip, in case you actually read this comment: Most of Asia's music sounds like hit songs. Some of their songs definitely won't appeal to every taste. They were really talented and experimental, producing some really unique (for the time) sounding music. As with all art, if you're exploring a style that's new and unique you're not going to please everyone. Their depth wasn't necessarily in their lyrics so much (still they were usually good) as their instrumentals, arrangement, and vocals. Anyway, I don't think you'll regret it just listening to their albums sometime. You're almost certainly going to hear something that strongly appeals to your tastes.

    Asia was an 80s "supergroup" -- guitarist Steve Howe was from Yes, and bassist/lead vocalist John Wetton was from King Crimson, keyboardist Geoff Downed was from both Yes and The Buggles, and drummer Carl Palmer was from Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
    The Buggles' big hit "Video Killed The Radio Star" was the VERY FIRST video to be played on MTV.
    For Carl Palmer, almost any ELP song suggested will be a good thing. They were a magnificent band.
    For Steve Howe's best with Yes, check out Close to the Edge.
    For John Wetton's playing/singing with King Crimson, pretty much anything off their album Red should be considered.
