Ricky said on an interview that he failed as an 80's pop star. Little did he know that this song was considered as an anthem during the 80's here in the Philippines. Too young to have lived it but got to know this song from my parents. They always played this when I was a kid and got to hear it a few times from the radio. Good times :)
@@lazyadobo5125 I hear you, and I can confirm that as an American listener who's a longtime Filipino music fan, learning about non-Filipino songs that achieved massive popularity only in the Philippines. The story goes that your radio stations were allowed greater freedom in terms of what to play. As a result, you were able to generate what's known as Philippine-only radio hits through the years. Often, a lot of these were album tracks or b-sides from current bands at the time, or sometimes, singles from either emerging bands or those that have recently disbanded (Seona Dancing broke up in '84, while "More To Lose" became a hit in '86.) In both instances, their popularity there is most likely completely unbeknownst to them, save for several acts who've performed there and rightfully embrace their popularity. But the thing to keep in mind is that "More To Lose" is actually just one of these songs generated by this phenomenon, and there's actually way too many to name, lol! Other examples of Philippine-only radio hits include: "Passenger Seat" by Stephen Speaks, "As Long As It Matters" by Gin Blossoms, "You" by The Carpenters, "Inspector Mills" by America, and "Deep" by Binocular.

Saying that this is a great song is an understatement….this record was extremely hard to get when I was in highschool in the 80’s in the Philippines….it still is!
I think that's awesome that this was a big hit in the Philippines. I'm a 51 year old Englishman and I'd never heard of Ricky Gervais until The Office was made. I'm seeing a lot of comments from the Philippines about this song. He's been famous in your country for longer than he has in his home country!😊
Some of the kids from our school got to go to razzmatazz. I didn't because it was just the first and second year and I was in the 4th year. My brother got to go and I was so jealous. He got to meet noddy holder.
@Purple Burglar Alarm what was the question? Did I clap? You know what I probably did, but no we weren't forced to. Hope you get to go to sleep tonight, now that you know.
What?? I’ve been hearing this a lot in my childhood and was a massive hit in the Philippines. I didn’t know Ricky Gervais was the lead singer. He is a man of many talents. Great singer, comedian, and actor too. Afterlife is a must watch. Haven’t both laughed and cried for ages on a show.
Eh... he's not a great actor... there's a reason he only makes a few hours of content every five years or so. He always basically plays himself, and he's always breaking, each scene takes so much longer because of him. He is a good comedian, and a pretty good singer though, did you see his David Brent film? (The film might not make sense if you've not seen The Office).
@@MilamberinxActor's job is to portray the assigned rolls as good as they could. He chose the rolls which are similar to himself and did it perfectly. So basically he's a good actor, not a great one, but definitely a good one.
If you haven't already, check out the podcasts that Ricky, Steven and Karl did. I've listened to all of them at least 10 times and they still make me laugh my ass off. Same with their XFM radio shows. And all are free here on YT.
ha ha - I bet. I can imagine how that would feel. to find out this smooth glamorous voice from a handsome synth pop band and a handsome singer, a national icon in ur country.... is in fact now short, podgy little fat David Brent from the Office hahahah
Thank you Ricky, we Filipinos have loved this for decades :) You looked relaxed and happy in the video....before life eventually fcks us all .... thank you for using your comedy to speak the truths!
I'd like to know the history of how this became a popular track in the Philippines. It seems like quite an obscure song to get massive recognition abroad.
@@krishnan-resurrection714 No its real. And I have no idea how either. I'd say perhaps they'd never heard of music before this song, but I know some great bands from Phillipines in the 70's
Got here because I watched After Life on Netflix and then read up more about Ricky Gervais and then found out he had a few songs in the 80s. Listened to it and now it's on our countdown this week
I actually rather like this song, and understand it's something of an anthem in the Philippines. The arrangement recalls OMD, with the leading keyboard lines, lack of chorus, and big outro.
This *does* sound like something OMD might have done during their mid 80s 'John Hughes' phase. Not sure I'd file it alongside their late 70s/early 80s experimental classics like "Electricity" and "Stanlow", mind you :p
Back in the 80's, there was a one particular radio station in Manila, Philippines that would play this song. New Wave was pretty popular back then and in order to make sure no other radio station would play this song..they titled it "Fade" so they'd never be able to get it. There was no Shazam back then and internet was way in its infancy. Ask anyone there about New Wave and if you say More to Lose..they'd know the song in instant.
reminds me of 1980s in the Philippines. This song is being played a lot in the radio stations and disco houses.... I danced to this song in Angeles City Pampanga everytime I hear it... beautiful song,
I didn't even know that Ricky was in a band.. literally just saw a picture of him on Pinterest when he was young and thought, damn.. he was really good looking. I lived in South Africa for 20 years, so missed out on a lot of British music when I was growing up.
This song was popular in the Philippines during the 80s together with two minds crack song upside down, wild swans/ care songs and just got lucky by Jo boxer!♥️
Why is this song, actually the band Seona Dancing itself, is out of Spotify? Millions of 50 year old Filipinos are about to hold their 35th high school reunions and will have to hire a dj just to have this iconic 80's anthem included.
@@frankjudepi yah. Before the K-12 standards in the Philippines . First year high school usually started around 12 to 13 years of age. There were kids who graduated high school at 15. Most graduated at 16 or 17.
@Nemesis for Nemo it was the 80s style. So era matters. He grew out of ladyness. You can repeat yourself till the end of time, still you won't be right. And you can talk to Ricky Gervais straight about his appearance on Twitter, if you dare.
This is definitely not bad for that genre at that time. But, in my opinion, he picked the right long term career :) He is exceptional at creating TV and monologues that capture peoples' interest.
Oh, he was soooooooo cute!!! I love his voice! I love this song and the other one that I just heard through my son who was not alive in the 80s but loves 80s music! I am only happy that he went into comedy when the music thing didn't pan out as he wanted. I wished it had because I loved both songs and his voice is really good, but alas, we got to have him as a great comic and writer/producer. Afterlife is a great show that I highly recommend everyone watch! Hilarious and touching at the same time.
We used to cry About the day when one of us might fall Weak and blindly into another's arms Demands are gained from jealousies Would flow like water drowning us But leaving us with just another Lover's false alarm And now it's over Both of us free But I feel colder A thousand tortured lives have fallen Wounded dying cut down by the Questions that we've sharpened Just to save our losing days We thought we'd nothing more to lose We'd tear our hearts with jagged truths And everything we'd hung to for so long Just slipped away And now it's over Both of us free And I feel colder I was tired of thinking that Our love can shine your thoughts Of our arrangements Were really not like mine I thought it over And it was plain to see the love you said You once needed Could just not come from me And now it's over Both of us free And I feel colder And now we're moving to new beginnings But as we move we looked once behind To see what we might find out Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings That lunge, tear and grasp At lost wanting minds

Goosebumps. Such a great song, a genuine, bonafide New Wave classic. It's a shame the band never became stars, they deserved to be with this song alone. I'm surprised the song and the group aren't better known with Gervais success in film; I guess human envy knows no shame and boundaries. :-)

Yes, one of my favorites. I still remember his hair style was famous in the Philippines. Nostalgic
It's been 40 years. Commented 26/6/2023.
He's sort of fused Spandau Ballet with David Bowie shit.
:D :D
hahaha very good
Thank fck he didnt do any flashdance n MC Hammer 😂

@@krishnan-resurrection714 hey, saddo how's it feel to have no life.
Ricky Gervais could sing to me any day 💖
We used to cry
About the day when one of us might fall
Weak and blindly into another's arms
Demands are gained from jealousies
Would flow like water drowning us
But leaving us with just another
Lover's false alarm
And now it's over
Both of us free
But I feel colder
A thousand tortured lives have fallen
Wounded dying cut down by the
Questions that we've sharpened
Just to save our losing days
We thought we'd nothing more to lose
We'd tear our hearts with jagged truths
And everything we'd hung to for so long
Just slipped away
And now it's over
Both of us free
And I feel colder
I was tired of thinking that
Our love can shine your thoughts
Of our arrangements
Were really not like mine
I thought it over
And it was plain to see the love you said
You once needed
Could just not come from me
And now it's over
Both of us free
And I feel colder
And now we're moving to new beginnings
But as we move we looked once behind
To see what we might find out
Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings
That lunge, tear and grasp
At lost wanting minds
and this is how we hold a child party in the 80's.
He was stunning
