    Thanks a lot, love this band, Peter Kingsbery's voice is so impressive and moving. After the band split in 1990, he pursued a solo career in France, where he settled. He speaks fluent French and is much more famous in France than he is in his native US. He recorded a huge album with great songs sung in French.

  • @mondeo33

    Thank you for reacting to this song. One of my all time favourites. That chorus Amber mentioned was
    'Cause when your heart is weak
    I'm gonna pick the lock on it
    My fingertips won't fail me
    No matter what you do
    The love you cannot see yet
    Is about to witness a dawning
    And you can twist and turn
    But you won't get loose
    Oh no.

    One of the under-rated songs from the 80's. I think the video hurt because the lead singer's gestures, etc were odd.
    More from this group include 'Thought You Were on My Side' and 'The Promise You Made.'
    PS - The lyric is "When your heart is weak
    I'm going to pick the lock on it."

    Cock Robin is not the male singer's name,his name is Peter Kingbery, the band is called Cock Robin and the female lead is Anna Lacazio, Cock Robin was originally together from 1982 to 1990,then from 2006 to the present.

    He's not putting a lock on their heart he's picking it, unlocking, their heart. Also they have a much later song called Worlds Apart that's worth listening to. Thanks for covering this though, I almost never hear anyone talk about Cock Robin.

    This was Cock Robin's ONLY charted single in the US (hitting #35), but they had additional hits in Europe - an unusual turn of events, given that they were an American band. Their biggest worldwide hit was "The Promise You Made". Others were "Just Around the Corner", "The Biggest Fool of All", and "Thought You Were On My Side". Peter Kingsbery is the lead vocalist (born in Austin, TX!). PS: The singers for Tears For Fears are Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith (Roland is the one with the longer hair). I would also like to recommend some other great 80s tunes by lesser-known bands: "The Promise" by When In Rome, "The Captain of Her Heart" by Double, and "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)" by Information Society.

    Holly shit, thankyou so much for reacting to them. It's about time they get some recognition in the US, their home country. They where huge in Europe (and a lot of others countries) in the 80´s, and definitely one of my favorite 80's bands. I don't think there is one song by them i don't like, at least from the 3 first albums.
    My favorite of all time by them is Just Around The Corner. So many great songs....
    Just Around The Corner
    The Promise You Made
    The Biggest Fool Of All
    El Norte
    When Your Heart Is Week
    Thought You Where On My Side
    Worlds Apart
    Win Or Loose ...
    I could go on, and on...
    BTW, never understood that problem Americans have with the name.... really... I've been listening to them since 1985, and not once did i made any kind of "naughty" connections with their name. They are named after an old nursery rhyme "Who Killed Cock Robin?"

    Tex-Mex meets 80's pop (lead guitar formerly of Tears for Fears) They had over a dozen minor hits. Their name refers to a children's poem from the late 1700's, and onward, named "Who Killed Cock Robin?" Some versions had hundreds of verses. I have loved their music for over 30 years.

    If you haven't heard of the literary/nursery rhyme character Cock Robin, go slap your Junior high literature teacher. This is who the band took it's name from. Amber, the word on the lyric is "gonna PICK the lock on it", meaning he was going to pick the lock on her heart. Bassist Peter Kingsbury and keyboardist Ana LaCazio handled lead vocals until they disbanded in 1990. Like a lot of "unheard of" American acts, CR was and still is very popular in Europe. They released two more singles from their first album, The Promise That You Made and I Thought You Were On My Side. Neither reached the critical popularity as "Heart"but were well accepted by their fan base. In 1987 they released their follow up album, After Here Through Midland and two singles, Just Around The Corner and The Biggest Fool Of All.

Their only top 40 hit, and the DID play it on Johnny Carson Show once, which I recall watching. The cute young lady dancing is a band member, not just added for effect.

    Peter Kingsbury has an amazing voice, and he also played the bass in that song. He’s still great. I absolutely love that song. A lot of the video was done at Joshua Tree National park, one scene in the Hidden Valley picnic area, the other at a house (Jackrabbit Homestead home) close to the northern entrance of the park. Kingsbury is multi instrumental. People think this song is about a stalker, but it’s not, it’s just saying that when this girl is about to give up on love, this man is going to prove to her that he’s not going to let that happen.

Some music critics considered this song one of the first alternative songs to appeared on the Billboard Top 40 chart in the 1980s. A terrific song indeed. By the way, Cock Robin is the name of the group.

    There's the song "Only the Very Best" that he sang, a very different vibe, but his voice, that's something.

    Guys, Cock Robin is the name of the band, not the singer. His name is Peter Kingsbery.
    When Your Heart is Weak was the only hit they had in the US (kind of funny because they're from Los Angeles), but here in Europe they had at least four other hits: The Promise You Made, Thought You Were on My Side, Just Around the Corner and The Biggest Fool of All. El Norte is another great song of them.

    It's about being stuck in the friend zone, and he is going to show her how much he truly loves her when she needs someone to turn to....he'll be there. Check out "Biggest fool of all " if you really want to hear Peter Kingsbury vocal chops. Very underrated band in America, they were huge in Europe, especially France.😊

    Just When You're Having Fun is a really fun Cockrobin song. Anna does lead vocals on it.

    Check out a great band that had some success by listening to Toad The Wet Sprocket- Walk On The Ocean. One of those fascinating band names!

    Their self titled debut album is amazing. Another of my all time favorites.

    Excellent band. I was very excited to see them cross your path. Check out some of their other work. You will not be disappointed. They actually played on Johnny Carson when they were breaking and just killed.
