Watching this again in 2024 after having watched this live as a child over four decades ago. I still love it. What a voice! What a great saxophone player! What a great bunch of backing singers! I'm so glad they won! Love from England UK ❤
To think this ballard came out 42years ago and it is still as fresh today as it was then. Having effectively lost my Wife to Alzheimers this song means so much to me these days.
I looked after my mum for 8 years with Dementia then finally cancer It's so hard to watch them die a little each day My grandchildren tell me I'm an orphan now 💔 😢 😔
How could anyone ever say no to this angel? ♥Such a lovely song, I remember this, I was very very young and life was just starting, what an adventure it's been, but it was so much sweeter then. Can we press rewind?
@Johnny Logan I liked this song too......I do not like this contest anymore......it was a better contest a long time ago......songs were so beautiful....
1980 рік...😊. Тоді не було помпезності, а було виконання чудової пісні чудовим виконавцем. Я перейшла за посиланням, щоб послухати того, хто два рази був переможцем. Він чудовий і заслуговує на перемогу. Здоров'я та благополуччя. ☮️
Blimey. That pure, perfect note at the end. 😢 I was a - trying to be cool - 15 year old in 1980, but I loved this immediately - and the last few bars made me cry. Haven’t heard it for years - can confirm it still does.
Had a really nice voice and apparently was the only singer to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1980 and 1987. He also composed the winning song in 1992.
'Irish' is a made-up concept 😆😂. The people who live on this island came here from warmer climates to get away from the same twisted bloodline-rulers that oppress the world today. Those that came here were mixed, anyway and many more that came in mid-to-recent times - 'English', 'Scottish', 'Welsh', 'European' have mixed with the 'Irish'. Surely, you realise this based-on different skin-tones. Also, you do realise, more recently - 'Ukrainians' that have gotten citizenship are now considered Irish. The likes of you are totally lost 💙🌿.
@@AlanHope2013 Love ABBA but if waterloo was in the Eurovision now it would struggle to get out of their semi-final and did you know the UK gave ABBA no points I am an Irish Man and love ABBA still play them at weddings and parties.
JL's voice has such raw emotion and purity, he doesn't sell a song he sells a feeling. He had a gig scheduled in Dublin, but I think it was just after lockdown so was probably cancelled? I was hoping to go over for it.
My dad absolutely loved this song. He died back in 1980 not long after this song was out. It so reminds me of him whenever I hear it. A truly great song and perfectly sang by Johnny Logan. Amazing voice !
I was 14 years old when i did listen to this very beautiful song and 41 years later i still listen to this song which is so good to remember that Johnny Logan was a great singer
Beautiful.. also the good days of Eurovision when it was about the song.. no pathetic political votes, rediculous costumes flashing lights or other distractions..
Creo wue es la mejor cancion de la historia de Eurovision.No sólo la melodia sino el sentimiento y la pureza que emananan de este hombre.Extrairdinario.
The Irish equivalent in looks to david cassidy.. And.... Could this guy sing... A beautiful song... A powerful performance.. A well deserved win... Well done J. Lo.
The song was written by the late Shay Healy. His mother had died some years before and the song is about his fathers anguish from his loss. Johnny knew the story behind the song and mirrored that emotion into the song
The song is so good that if you inserted the song in every year (see what I did there) of the Eurovision it would probably win. Most Eurovision singers couldn't hold a candle to Logan's vocals.
I was a child when this was on tv, did not renember that this song was an esc song...saw the live esc 23 on saturday and yesterday this song came into my mind on and on..i forgot the singer...looking now at this and find it really funny to have him on my mind unconsciously maybe because of the esc..which is not my first desire to watch on tv , vut nevertheless interesting to look at the changing times and it is also okay and always some good performers in it.. johnny logan catches me after all this time with a beautiful love song and a really good voice, good vibes , good memories and always will be good :)
İ ve been waiting Such a long time Looking out for you But you renot here Whats another year İ ve been waiting Such a long time Reachi ng out for you But youarenot here Whats another year İ ve been praying Such a long time İtiş the only way To hide to fear Whats another year Thanks J Logan 1980
Faço parte da geração 80 . Assim como da história do certame eurovisivo . Desse tempo em que me sentava com os meus pais em frente à TV para assistirmos ao grande desfile de músicas belíssimas . Fazia uma lista para votação e discutiamos a qualidade das canções . Era um serão magnifico , cheio de emoções , de expetativas e um desenrolar de beleza natural , de essência e de profundidade musical . Cresci sempre na espera do próximo ano ... Agora já não espero ... Nem por este nem pelo ano que vai chegar . Acabaram - se as emoções , a beleza que era natural passou a ser artificial , num misto de exuberância e espetáculo de cor , luz e falta de elegância em palco . Enfim ...
I was a 4 year-old girl when I first heard his song on Eurovision. I did not know English at that time but I really liked itso much and I was trying to sing as "Vatsin rabi, vatsin rabi..." How eager I was...

Some difference to what Eurovision was then, compared to the freak show it's become today.
Now THAT’s how you do Eurovision. Quality song and quality vocals. Simple.
djme123 exactly, not Justin the turkey
Nowadays Eurovision is just a lot of shit
Innit, narwhatimeen xxxx
Simple and does not interesting. Eurovision is show! Not a vocal contest.
And live music....
The best singer and artist that the Eurovision has ever seen and heard!!! Amasing voice!!! Simple magic!
To think this ballard came out 42years ago and it is still as fresh today as it was then. Having effectively lost my Wife to Alzheimers this song means so much to me these days.
Hope you are okay❤️so sorry to hear about your wife hope you continue to find comfort in this song xxxxxx
I looked after my mum for 8 years with Dementia then finally cancer It's so hard to watch them die a little each day My grandchildren tell me I'm an orphan now 💔 😢 😔

So very sorry 😞 that's awful... this song Is stunning! Hold Me Now is special too x
Sorry to hear it...
This song transcends generations. ❤💚
A truly amazing singer. His voice is flawless
Still like this in 2024😊
2024,nog steeds n prachtig nummer!! Ik ben 74 jaar,blijf deze song van jonnie logan,n topper!!
Whos here after he sung Euphoria on Eurovision 2024
What...? Did he do something totally stupid..?
@@maybeme7171you better listen it first
@@maybeme7171 no he didn't.He sang very wonderfully
RIP Shay Healy, writer of the song. It's about his father's grief after the death of his mother.
The song and his voice is breathtaking!🤩❤️
One of the best winners of Eurovision. Johnny Logan can really sing.
Once this guy started singing I just knew he’s a winner.
NOW this is the real Eurovision. We love the singer, song and performance. Sheer class.😁
How could anyone ever say no to this angel? ♥Such a lovely song, I remember this, I was very very young and life was just starting, what an adventure it's been, but it was so much sweeter then. Can we press rewind?

I m in love with this song, I was seventeen at 1980, and I never forget it .Thanks Johnny!
Incredible voice... and passion. Well done.

How can anyone not have a crush on him????

Never forget this beautiful song.l was 19 years old.

Que de bons souvenirs !
"WHAT'S ANOTHER YEAR?" Exactly my mood after 2020 got over.
And now 2021 be like 😷
Me: I want my year back! The government bandits stole it!
Songs like this make me proud to be Irish 🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀☘
Yes, you can be proud, that is true, irish is special for ever, I am German and know very well what you mean......

So sad, my condolences and prayers to his family. This song meant a lot to me.
Best ESC song ever.
RIP, RIG.
The best song of the Eurovision history. Thanks to Mr Logan and Ireland.

3 actually he wrote why me for Linda Martin aswell

He has it and remains it.
Nobody can match him
Does he still sing live in Ireland? I would go and see him.
Agreed
JL's voice has such raw emotion and purity, he doesn't sell a song he sells a feeling.
He had a gig scheduled in Dublin, but I think it was just after lockdown so was probably cancelled? I was hoping to go over for it.
Well Loreen has 2 victories now
My dad absolutely loved this song. He died back in 1980 not long after this song was out. It so reminds me of him whenever I hear it. A truly great song and perfectly sang by Johnny Logan. Amazing voice !
On n"oublie pas facilement une si belle mélodie si bien chantée ;) Merci !
For me: one of the best songs. Johnny Logan: the voice. The writer of this song: may rest in peace. Thank you for sharing.
I was 14 years old when i did listen to this very beautiful song and 41 years later i still listen to this song which is so good to remember that Johnny Logan was a great singer
Best song that Ever Won THE EUROVISION by miles and miles ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️
Totalmente de acuerdo
I'd say Logan's song from '87 outdoes this one from '80.
❤❤❤❤
I preferred his later winner.
Great song. One of best Eurovision songs ever, in my opinion
for me this is the best Eurovision song EVER
john e Lawler the Irish ones were always the best

Best ever winner I still listen and love this song 💚johnny 💚🇮🇪
Er sieht aus wie ein Prinz, mit einer soooo wundervollen Stimme 💖
Tout simplement magnifique !
such a wonderful voice and he was a pretty boy
Like a 70s Simon Le Bon.
Reminds me of a young Patrick Swayze

A little yes lol
I just watched the 2023 version.....what a reliefe to see the old broadcast.
I was only three and I remember this clearly. Loved Johnny Logan at first sight. ❤️
😃
i love this song god tsake me back to the 70s johnny logan thanks for this song and the alto sax wow wow
Gorgeous !
Era por causa de este tipo de músicas que eu via a Eurovisão. Lindo ❤️
Beautiful.. also the good days of Eurovision when it was about the song.. no pathetic political votes, rediculous costumes flashing lights or other distractions..
Spot on comments Debbie.
Thank you! Look at the performers thisv year. Its all targeted toward one segment of society. Its lost its glamour.
If im correct he is the only person to win 3 Eurovision. The all time GOAT of Eurovision❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful song! And he was gorgeous! My first serious crush. ❤
Great artist!
Such a fantastic song, that last note is sublime! 😘
I watched it as a kid at Eurovision and I loved the song, it is one of the best songs of Eurovision!
Sizinle aynı fikirdeyim. 52 yıllık yaşamımda, melodi ve sözleriyle insanın ruhuna hüzünle dokunan zamansız bir klasik.
We didn't even have a TV then, but even when we did, I didn't really bother watching Eurovision, but kind of wish that I had done.
L'enfant et l'oiseau de marie Myriam 🇨🇵
It’s amazing what the orchestra and backing singers - plus Johnny’s performance on the night - did to the quality of the song. The best version!
Amaaazing Song Truly Superb Wt a Song Fabulous Sax 👍👌🎷🎷🎷🎷❤️🎶🎶🎶🎵😍Xx
Un titre et un chanteur d'exception à une époque e où l'Eurovision produisait encore de la qualité.
Great song and voice. Love from 🇭🇷
