LYRICS:
Waves, then goodbye
I live in a wafer thin dream
I, I can cry
You know that time, time's not kind
But I remember the way we were
Slow, slow sad love
I wonder do you miss my love
I know you can't
It's just a wave passing over me
What are these waves?
They're coming over me
It must be my destiny
Waves, coming by
Goodbye, goodbye
What are these waves?
They're coming over me
It must be my destiny
#Blancmange #Waves
I never understood why they weren`t more successful, a brilliant band with a sense of humour, and great songs.
How much more successful could they have been?
Probably one of the most beautiful & melancholy songs
of ALL time ❤😢
i'm 61 and this song was 1 of my favourites from the 80's Even today i find myself humming the words from this Song
They just don't make music this good anymore. The 80's videos were so incredible and we did not realize it.
This video is so ahead of its time. That mermaid took a shellfie at 2:56.
lol. It was a mirror and I'd be staring at myself in it too if I had that fabulous headdress on.
Am a 70's product but everything they did worked for me, even their ABBA cover.
Grown man in his 50s here. Am I soft for finding this a beautiful song? 80s music was just wow!
Almost 58 here, and no, you're simply a man with great taste. 80s music was indeed amazing. I'm busy collecting a list: ua-cam.com/play/PL1StK4aSSWe4iDlLf7kQpAkiIK5ijtIc7.html
@@Meowbay Thanks, had a quick look and some crackers there. Some that I do not recognise but that is the 80s - the gift that keeps on giving. I will have a listen.
Not a tall my friend,I'm 52 and listening to it👍
Couldn’t agree more !! Glad I’m not alone 😉
If you love this track Alan check out the song Ocean Rain, the title track of the 1984 Echo and the Bunnymen album.
At 2:33. The style. The coolness. The clothes. It is just pure 80s.
I am hoping to find something in the woods to crawl through and go back again.
I was aware of blancmange back in the 80s. However I sadly never looked them up. THIS IS A GEM amongst others they produced. I'm stupid to have missed the boat back then
I think anyone from this era could miss some great songs because the decade was full of so much talent. There are songs I like I never heard back then and also songs I hated back then I love now. 😃
Loved it back then and won't stop loving it. Goosebumbs!
It's so magical and I only found this a few months back.
So good
Ferkin amazing, but vid is tackie and shit
genau heute vor 40 Jahren, ein Meisterwerk für die Ewigkeit (21.01.2023)
exactly 40 years ago today, a masterpiece for eternity (01/21/2023)
Ein absolutes Meisterwerk! Toll gemacht, Blancmange!
Absolut trifft es genau!! Steht auf meiner Hearlist auf Platz 2!!
@@heikoh540 Was ist Platz 1? 😄
A song to die to.. utterly gorgeous>
I met these guys when they did a gig in Plymouth back in the mid-80s. They autographed their album copies for me. It was such a brilliant gesture, I have never thought of parting with them, despite what they may be worth. Great song from a great time.
Doubt if that time - 60s, 70s and 80s will ever be repeated.
Most underrated 80s band ever I love them. Neil Arthur is so gorgeous too 😭 🔥❕
I saw him first; he's mine.
Not by me
he looks like a campy hairdresser
Definitely underrated.
@hevhogg
Beautiful song. Don't remember this one from the 80s but now I need to listen to more of his music
We watched blancmange last night and they were absolutely fantastic. They did waves aswell.
Great to a see the enhanced video. A cracking song that has endured time and still goes down well when Neil performs it at gigs.
Absolutely brilliant song, takes me back to the happy 80's of my youth. 😊
It was such an exciting time to be young 😊 I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
Just brilliant. Gotta be one of their top three songs.
A beautiful song then and now. Neil really suffered for this video poor guy
I was down an 80s music rabbit hole, a few days back. Stumbled across this forgotten little gem, and even the kids like it. I will have to hunt for this at my next visit to the vinyl record shop. I remember the video, as I bought the video EP on VHS - showing my age now! - which had “Blind Vision” and “Living On A Ceiling” on it.
the last single to chart in aus sadly for Blancmange, hitting the bottom 100 at 99 in 1983. emotionally beautiful song Neil
Sad that Living On The Ceiling was the only other single to chart in Aus just at the same time Aussie songs were having their best year ever here in the UK (Men At Work, Icehouse, Flash And The Pan)
An absolute masterpiece ! One of my favourites... Always was and always will be...
You truly have a fine taste sir, I could not agree more!
Simply brilliant song. Especially if you love the wild side of the sea.
I remember bringing the Video 45 (side note: kudos to the genius at Sony that took the new wave era & places an artists 2-4 great videos for fans to enjoy) to a friend who had never heard them & this being the middle of that trilogy of artistic celluloid greatness … this brings me more yearning for a dvd of their treasures to put on repeat & re-live my Saturday Rock Over London broadcasts that featured them continuously… still holds up 40 years later … thank you for cleaning this old chestnut for a beautiful vision
Don't know how but I'd never heard this track from the pair before until the other night on, forgotten 80s.
So nice to hear a classy tune from then,never to be repeated it made my day.
Me..29.. loving the song, because my mom did.
Magical in every sense of that word. Timeless beauty Neil
40 years on the words are even more meaningful,
Superb music from the 80s and is still winning today
lovely music in the 80s - now, after all these years, I finally do understand the text ... times not kind ... I remember the way we ...
Time is not kind is a superb line.
i love this man
I probably shouldn't mention this, but my dad used to work for Don Crowhurst... The amount of times he brings it up in average conversation, I thought I'd give it a go...
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. It is right up there with Vapour Trails by Ride.
Στην διαφήμιση του Τ.Κ. στην Ελλάδα ! Ευχαριστούμε Αντώνη Κανάκη για το τραγούδι που μας έμαθες !
Eben im Radio bei 80s80s gehört und dachte,wie schön ist das denn gemacht,super!
Damals nie gehört...
Gestern dort gehört. ❤
80s...... I LOVE THIS TIME.......
Always loved this song. The good old days. Thank you for the memories.
80s never fail brilliant 👏 love it
Wow great 80s sound wonderful song
Roxy Music's mermaids just kind of wandered over onto Blancmange's set.
Brilliant, timeless track. They played it at the Hare and Hounds in Birmingham a few years ago!
I need to visit the Hare and Hounds if they are playing tracks like this. Don't even live in Birmingham!
Not heard this for ages what a great song liked living on the ceiling but this was way better
this and dont tell me
One of my favourite from 80's. Thanks.
This could be a 15 minute extended and I would still think it was too short
Mega Song, gestern das erste Mal gehört 😊
At the beginning of the second wave of electronica following on from Numan Foxx Human League ..... Blancmange "Waves"1982 classic 😎✌️.
Wonderful song, and stunning video - perhaps their best (...with 'Blind Vision')
Story of my life, all these waves.i've had a lot.
Such a treat!!! Thanks so much for posting this!!!
Sweet! I didn't know that one. Found a gem!
Thanks a lot for making this available! Love it!
80 make me so emotional i am 53 y

What a song!
Absolutely Love this Song Still ❤️🤩
Love this absolutely love it
EXZELLENT 💖
i remember :my first love !!oh my gosh.it was great.
Love this song reminds me of my da ❤
Saw Blancmange @ Forever Young festival .... Classic " Waves" 1984 😎✌️.
I loved Blancmange! I was just getting ready for bed when Living on the Ceiling SUDDENLY popped into my head! Now I'm on a binge. I missed this beautiful ballad. As soon as I hit start, lyrics and memories flooded my mind. Thank you Neil ❤
That's what happens with great songs from our past, never leave and open us up like we are in a time machine. Privileged to be a teenager when this was released ❤
it is so bealtiful!!!
love this song - great to see the video again after all these years
Under estimated beautiful track ❤️
Shame Andy Luscombe's illness stopped him from continuing touring, still health is the lost important gift we have. Neil carries on.
its Stephen not Andy
1984...19 ans mon ami beubeu me fesait découvrir la pop anglaise 😊
Ganz toller New Romantic Song .
Fantastic song this was my late husbands favourite song and i had it at his funeral i can actually listen to it now without crying lyrics are brillant and it a very poignant song and will always remind me of my wonderful husband x
Sorry for your loss but beautiful song to remember him. Take care and stay safe ❤
@@grahamcheesman2252 thankyou i listen to this song a lot because now i can smile when i play it as it reminds me of my wonderful husband and what great taste he had in music
@@helensmith7692 I'm so glad he was wonderful and you have been able to listen to this song. It has always been in my top 5 songs and they are all from the 80's. Keep the good memories of him alive and look after yourself ♥️🙏
@@grahamcheesman2252 Thankyou i will he also loved depech mode he went to all of their concerts back in the day i listen to them now
@@helensmith7692 so much good music back then, Depeche Mode were brilliant and Vince Clarke was amazing
Blancmange is so sick, and that style too- I adore his sound and presence in so many ways❤
my god, a beast of a song a heavenly
Fantastic song!
Brilliant song! And really good acoustics out there!
I recorded the original demo at Stage One studio. Where we added the first snare overdubs into their ambient stuff.
Lovely tune.
Then and now.
There's a Some Bizarre get together in London later in November 23.
See blancmange in Rochester last year. Time had done them 💯kind
Richtig gute Akustik da draußen!
Fantastic song. Thank you 😊
Great song and great band 🖤
Emotional shocked.
I absolutely love this song and its only my secomd listen. Insant resonance for me ❤ I'm sure I'll end up revising it many times too 😊
Wurde gerade im Radio gespielt ...
Supi schön ❣️💫
Lou
How I loved this song .found it last
Bought this..back in the day. what a great song, can't remember if this was the B side.
Saw them at the concord in Brighton a while back, and they were brilliant, and I will be going to see them again...
I don't remember this from back in the day. What a great track.
This track epitomises the 1980s , I’ve no more to add apart from what a total classic this is and always will be ❤
感動😆🎶✨
best 12 inch ever
JOA JOA!
For goodness sake Neil , don't go out in the sea when its stormy. Meanwhile great song and i have an original 45. Fatty in the shop sold it to me in 83. The shop long gone but was called Bus stop. i enjoyed your gig in .Kildare last summer keep on keeping on mate
watch them last night at Barrow still as good.
I get waves all the time since i lost MeJulie....getting old sucks
Im so mad I forgot this song, its absolutely beautiful, and I have their album Happy families too !
Ich liebe diese Musik...absolut ❤
This could almost have come from the Electric Light Orchestra's 'Face the Music' album. It has a very ELO vibe to it.
That's a great comment, so true.
Those mermaids gave me the giggles! Bless the 80's:)
Looks like the sirens came out straight from the Roxy Music LP's cover...
@@elliottferris5929
Roxy Music a tad slicker...
Inspiration for Grimes 😁
Amazing!
Wow, great work guys. Thanks for the memories and sharing the original video!
Love this
