Iva's voice is still the perfect blend of silk and denim, after all these years he's still got the perfect voice, perfect tones, the so called singers today stand to learn a thing or two about attaining and maintaining a wonderful voice👍🤩👍
We loved the 80s, we loved Icehouse and we loved this song. This video shows that great music is ageless and timeless. We enjoyed it, danced to it, listened to it in the car and had a great time doing so. What an amazing song and what great memories it brings. Thank you for that Icehouse.
@@pusanghalaw He's in his 60s here. Yes, the high notes are much harder to hit. 30 years does take a toll on the vocal cords. No one at 60, sounds like a 20 or 30 year old.
Could play this, BOWIE this is not America and ROXY MUSIC More than this for hours non stop...and be transported back to the best years of my life, when hope for a vibrant future was so strong!
This song is the one who introduced me ICEHOUSE... Simply GORGEOUS. A mix of poetry and Melody absolutely perfect. One of my Favorite Bands of all times along with Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds and Tears for Fears.
Dou muito valor para essa década de ouro ... não tinha nada tecnologia...as pessoas ouviam música boa o tempo todo. Pessoas dessa época tem outro nível cultural.
I am in the Midwest USA and only ever recall hearing 'Electric Blue' on the radio when I was a child. I knew nothing else about Icehouse until just a few days ago, when I came across this song. I love everything about it; the melancholy vibe; the mellow, hypnotic rhythm, and Iva Davies' vocals are stunning! Elsewhere on a reaction to this song, someone made a comment that really resonates with me regarding the feel of this song: " that aloof, cool synth, melancholic backbeat, the longing of stretched vocal notes and faraway timbres -- this is the mid 80s where under all the glitz and vivid colors was a lonely 3am drive home on a long stretch of highway and an empty feeling in your heart."
I am a child of the 80s, I have just found Icehouse again ( thank goodness). Iva's voice is still as amazing as it always was infact better. Just love this track.
@WinterGirl - I would not say he sounds like Bowie, but similar quality and range for sure; ok hang on, I am writing while I listen and I can hear it a little. You have good taste in music as does everyone who is listening to this. Icehouse not heard enough these days, especially here in the northern hemisphere!
I remember listining to this group for the first time when I was 14 yrs, by the way I am 48 now. I dont like to compare singers, but this man has a combination of David Bowie, and the elegance of Bryan Ferry. Love it. Hello from Mexico.
As a Drummer, I can relate to a 4 on the floor kind of groove. Drums and Bass are the Engine Room of the Band, providing a solid foundation for any given song. For a song that tells a story, one needs a steady groove that is not dominating, allowing the song to breathe. Iva has a voice that is rich but yet suttle that is well suited to a song of this style. I feel that Iva has maintained his voice throughout because he is not a screamer or at least he doesn't feel the need to use to much vocal force when singing. Every well written song has good dynamics and Iva is a fine example of this. Well done to Team Icehouse. Myself, I'm a versatile musician (Drummer by Trade). I've had the pleasure of recording & performing along side Tony Llewellyn (former Icehouse keyboards and backing vocals 1991 to 2004). Tony & I worked together during the 2000's for about 5 years and are still keeping in touch. Just to end on a note: Michael Paynter and Man of Colours, Wow.👍 Michael's voice blends really well with the Oboe. Once again, Great job, love your work. Cheers, Brendan
I'm very proud to be a Generation X man. I've listened to talented artists like these just turning on a simple radio. All I can say is THANK YOU for your talent.
ICEHOUSE, como otros grupos buenos de los 80's viene al rescate de la actual porqueria de música que se escucha en las radios. La Buena música JAMÁAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS pasará de moda. Tan simple como eso. Grande ICEHOUSE. !!! Gracias x subir éste video.
Magic ... his voice is getting better and better with age. All of Icehouse's songs still sound fresh and crisp today. Wonder if I ever will have the fortune to see them live as they probably won't come to Europe anymore I assume.
Holy Christ, got into you guys right when covid hit. been going through every single song and have found a lifetime band which I never thought I would find again! You are awesome and brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaah man... this song has never fail to satisfy... absolute hair raising.. his voice mesmerising..absolute Masters.... so inlove with this group and their music.
Listening to this masterpiece takes me back to my childhood when life was so easy and nothing to be scared off. Playing outside with lots of friends and growing up without worries.
@@oddities-whatnot there are some things i would do different at this time to be hounest. If i knew back then what i know at this moment i would have a whole different life if you ask me.
I first heard No Promises back in 1986 when I was 16 in 10th grade. Now some 33 years later, it STILL has the same affect on me as it did WAYYY BACK THEN!! My most favorite Icehouse song EVER!! I LUVVVVE IT!!
Minha mente, viajava com essa música! Adolescente se apaixonando todos os dias! Rsrs as músicas marcavam o tempo, que se escorria pelas mãos feito areia do deserto!, ICEHOUSE Gratidão! Sua musica faz parte da minha vida!
HOJE eu com 34 anos já AMAVA a banda e essa linda ORQUESTRA de TALENTO desde quando EU tava dentro do ventre da MINHA MÃE. PARABÉNS ICEHOUSE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏, QUE NOSSO ALTÍSSIMO JESUS CRISTO PAPAI DO CÉU SEMPRE ILUMINE A VIDA DE CADA UM DE VOCÊS. E que CONTINUE com os SUCESSOS CADA DIA, MÊS, ANOS E SÉCULOS. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Que honra,prazer,satisfação...sei lá... Como foi maravilhoso ter vivido a década de 80! Hoje eu tenho histórias boas para contar e momentos inesquecíveis para recordar!
Heard and loved this song as a teenager in the 80s. I rediscovered it in the mid-90s, and I've missed any Icehouse performances being from the U.S. So, my perspective is seeing the 80s video and jumping to the present. What a masterful voice that has aged well. So powerful and has such range. I'm sure Iva is a god and legend in Australia. Absolutely amazing! Thanks for posting this.
Pra mim está entre as 10 músicas mais bonitas de TDS os tempos. Viagem total ela: letra , ritmo ,melodia.... E o " Dave " mantém em forma sua voz. 👏👏👏😱
Sounds even better now than it did in the 80's. Such a fabulous voice, great music from the band, also Michael Paynter's talent is nothing short of amazing. Love this video.
We were lucky enough to meet Paul Wheeler at The Enmore when we saw Gary Numan prior to Icehouse touring again - he was the most down to earth coolest guy! We’ve met several of the band members since and see Icehouse every time they play in Sydney. Cannot wait until the December concerts. Thankyou again for all you give to us!!
Exacto.... ICEHOUSE y varios grupos del estilo NewWave tuvieron esa cualidad...Con su música dejarnos " amarrados " a nuestra querida época. Excelente grupo.
Icehouse excelente banda ochentera,sin duda una de las mejores, marcó una época distinta dónde casi todas las canciones de esos años eran tremendas composiciones,todas buenas !!..Grande Icehouse ! Sigan vigentes por muchos años más...
I am 65 still listening to Icehouse. What a great band and still sound unbelievable
65 in 4 months .. Icehouse back in my playlist... Great concert ..just down the road from me....
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😁😁😁
Who's listening in 2024?
❤ me from 🇲🇽 México

Anybody who has good taste in music is listening
Brasil 2024 fez parte de minha adolescência este hino por assim dizer
How good is this ??? Years do not diminish class. My God, where has our music gone today ?
Rite 🤔
I don't know friend. 80's rocked. I was there. Love this guy's voice.
Down the shitter sadly
There is still great music around...do not lose hope....you just need to look harder thats all. But I feel your pain!!!
We were just so lucky to be there in the 80s....days of a golden age.......
february 2024 - 65 years old - LOVE ICEHOUSE - LOVE this song...Love Down Under Australia - lived there many moons ago.
After 40 years, perfect voice !
Incrível!!!!!!
No promises Heartbreak kid electric blue are my favourites. Hi from Sam India.
Ficou até melhor!!!! O cara é muito bom
no computers needed... no autotune... just natural talent...
He is amazing!!
Iva's voice is still the perfect blend of silk and denim, after all these years he's still got the perfect voice, perfect tones, the so called singers today stand to learn a thing or two about attaining and maintaining a wonderful voice👍🤩👍
Totally agree, one of the all time greatest voices and greatest band.
Great vocals 👌
He sounds so good live. Love the deep and smooth vocals. The music is just flowing so smoothly.
One of my favorite songs of all time. i'm 62 and I'm still listening...
I agree. Has mesmorized me since 1987.
This song is a masterpiece.
It will be heard and appreciated in 100, 200 years.
Edward SF 100200 years yes 👍
I so agree. It sends you far away from this madness.
34 years later and still in love with that voice.
We loved the 80s, we loved Icehouse and we loved this song. This video shows that great music is ageless and timeless. We enjoyed it, danced to it, listened to it in the car and had a great time doing so. What an amazing song and what great memories it brings. Thank you for that Icehouse.
The finest ICEHOUSE song. And one of the best songs ever written.
i agree. but three semitones down from the original? iva's not THAT old. singing it in F should still be doable.
Totally agree! One of their very best.
Sends tingles down my spine. Was splitting up with my girlfriend at the time so thins song brings me back.
@@pusanghalaw He's in his 60s here. Yes, the high notes are much harder to hit. 30 years does take a toll on the vocal cords. No one at 60, sounds like a 20 or 30 year old.

Could play this, BOWIE this is not America and ROXY MUSIC More than this for hours non stop...and be transported back to the best years of my life, when hope for a vibrant future was so strong!
Wait, this isn't David Bowie?
@@gradylucas5265 sounds a bit like him indeed :))
Wow, No promises and More than this would have to be in my top 5. I'll have to give that Bowie song a listen.
He's voice is still beautiful
This song is the one who introduced me ICEHOUSE... Simply GORGEOUS.
A mix of poetry and Melody absolutely perfect.
One of my Favorite Bands of all times along with Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds and Tears for Fears.
Excellent taste, mate ;)
No coincidence all 80s bands 😬👍
All great bands with truly talented artists!
My favorite bands too!!!
Wow all these years later he nailed it... his voice has still maintained all these notes which are incredibly all over the place in a song. amazing!!
Só quem viveu os anos 80 , teve esse privilégio, músicas de qualidade, emoção, hoje degradante
Dou muito valor para essa década de ouro ... não tinha nada tecnologia...as pessoas ouviam música boa o tempo todo. Pessoas dessa época tem outro nível cultural.
Era criança nos anos 80 me lembro de cada música que escuto hoje .. Amooooo todas elas, pq é música de verdade.

I am a child of the 80s, I have just found Icehouse again ( thank goodness). Iva's voice is still as amazing as it always was infact better. Just love this track.
Manoo.. que SENSACIONAL! Ele continua com o mesmo timbre de voz! Essa canção é ESPETACULAR! Nostalgia pura! 👍🏻😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I'm speechless! ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Concordo plenamente....
Sei que parece clichê, mas que saudade desta época.
Passou o tempo a voz tá impecável....linda essa música.
cette chanson moi je l'adore aussi et ne doit pas ètre le seul a aimer cette chanson
Awesome version ever 👌🏻, the rhythm of the bass and drum is absolutely devastating wonderful .
Incredible version!!🔥🔥
i like how after 5 minutes his voice restored that youger ver of tone.
Listening to this man's voice is like flying to the skies...Amazing baritone!

Excelente! O Iva Davies conservou muito bem a voz, ainda soa como nos anos 80!
I am almost 72, still listening to this great band!

Listening to this masterpiece takes me back to my childhood when life was so easy and nothing to be scared off. Playing outside with lots of friends and growing up without worries.
Maus time passes too quickly and you end up with nothing but regrets as you get older.

Muito bom, Icehouse! Marcou minha geração, esse som NO PROMISES! NÃO CANSO DE OUVIR.

Belíssimas palavras.
Muito massa essa música!
musica maravilhosa toca na alma
vc falou tudo. Muito bom o comentário.
Essa música sem dúvidas é atemporal, mas confesso que com tons abaixo do normal a música ficou uma bosta.
Listen kids, this is what real performers sound like 👍
The composition on this should be required listening for all scholars.
Serious.
Few bands are superb live, This is Great.
HOJE eu com 34 anos já AMAVA a banda e essa linda ORQUESTRA de TALENTO desde quando EU tava dentro do ventre da MINHA MÃE.

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Quando fecho os olhos é como se o eterno David Bowie estivesse cantando, a semelhança na voz é incrível. ...Ice House demais está banda. ..✌
Penso o mesmo
A mesma coisa que pensei a primeira vez que ouvi esta canção. A voz idêntica, depois que vi que não era do David Bowie.
Quando eu era criança eu tinha certeza absoluta que era David Bowie! Agora em 2020 descobrindo a real! hehehehe
A maioria das pessoas associa essa música com This Is Not America, do Bowie. Mas eu prefiro Ice House tenho uma "quedinha" pela música australiana.
Gosto dos dois .
Que honra,prazer,satisfação...sei lá...
Como foi maravilhoso ter vivido a década de 80!
Hoje eu tenho histórias boas para contar e momentos inesquecíveis para recordar!
Penso da mesma forma. Não existe e nunca existirá melhor época.
Hairs standing up with this. The feelings it brings back are incredible.
Sounds amazing, and Iva Davies still has great hair 😎 💕
I love icehouse! A big part of my life! This brings me back.. and it is in my heart forever..
Amo este tema que lo tengo de righstone..en mi celular...tantos recuerdos...saludos desde chile..❤❤❤
Tambien me gusta esta cancion... la musica de los 80 es poesía para los oidos.
Fantasy / black box en la version extendida tambien es excelente

That song...that voice...they made me fall in love with ICEHOUSE and Iva Davies many years ago! Congratulations on 40 years!
Sem palavras.. Viva os anos 80
First song I've heard from Icehouse, was Glam. It picked my curiosity and, got hooked to the group since.
Masterpiece, brilliant song
Bloody oath!
Always loved this song, the groove of it is something special, and the lyrics with the religious undertones are brilliance.
Love this !!!! Wow !!! Wonderful music !
Have to admit that’s an outstanding live performance . Well done lads, all the best from Scotland.
Rio de Janeiro, Brasil ! Love this masterpiece
Sounds even better now than it did in the 80's. Such a fabulous voice, great music from the band, also Michael Paynter's talent is nothing short of amazing. Love this video.
Grande Iva Davies! Saudações de São Benedito CE. Orgulho de ser 80s
What a 80s classic
I have to agree even though Iva & the Band have many great songs it's this one that I personally can't get out of my mind! I love, "No Promises"!
Crazy is my favorite!
We were lucky enough to meet Paul Wheeler at The Enmore when we saw Gary Numan prior to Icehouse touring again - he was the most down to earth coolest guy! We’ve met several of the band members since and see Icehouse every time they play in Sydney. Cannot wait until the December concerts. Thankyou again for all you give to us!!
Espectacular version en vivo un temazo !! cuantos recuerdos me trae
Exacto.... ICEHOUSE y varios grupos del estilo NewWave tuvieron esa cualidad...Con su música dejarnos " amarrados " a nuestra querida época. Excelente grupo.
Cuantos recuerdos...
Icehouse excelente banda ochentera,sin duda una de las mejores, marcó una época distinta dónde casi todas las canciones de esos años eran tremendas composiciones,todas buenas !!..Grande Icehouse ! Sigan vigentes por muchos años más...
How can you stop listening??? And this concert! What a gift!
Love it,.... one of my all time favorite songs. Glad to see it still alive.
Ice house by far the masters in making masterpiece songs. The masters of the 80's!!!!
One of my favorites songs ever! From Argentina!
The voice still amazing!
No Promises, Crazy, The Kingdom. THE BEST SONGS THIS GREAT BAND
Depois de muitos anos continua com a mesma voz ...maravilhosa amo essa música ❤️
Wow, awesome lead vocals and the band sounds great.
Linda música 🤗 amo demais ♥️ ela cantada de qualquer jeito é lindaaaa ❤️😘😘
Beautiful
I have always loved this song and the pure power of his voice.
I am surprised he can still cut it so well live. Hats off!
q genial..hasta hoy mantiene la voz..como hace 40 años atras
Timeless Music era that never gets old. Love your voice Iva
Excellent performance by everyone! IMHO, his voice has matured beautifully over the years, and sounds better than he did 30 years ago! :)
You Aussies should be immensely proud of this talented immense sounding band! Great voice, great melody, great synths!
Fan here from the UK!
