.....between July to November 1982 I have spent good time in Hastings, Rye, Eastbourne, Bexill on Sea and Brighton...studying English language... Loving memories 😊🇬🇧
A beautiful tribute to the heroes who defended our country from the nazis. We must never forget the men and women who sacrificed so much so that you could live in freedom. Today is even more important because the far right is everywhere. Don’t let the heroes of world war 2 down by letting the far right take away our hard won freedoms
Lovely indeed. My dad was in the 222 squadron as an armourer fitter. He wanted to fly but his vision wasn't 20/20. But he was talented with his hands and building things. My parents moved to Canada early 50's and I was adopted at birth in '67. Many memories they shared and thankful to have dad's wings and medals.
I Love Ultravox, and I'm right there with you...I'm 58, and I remember THIS was the Ultravox song my current wife (of 22yrs) played in the car, on one of our very first dates. I'll never forget being amazed & happily thinking, "Oh, my god, she likes the same music as I do!" ;- )

Ultravox with midge Ure brung me so many memories of my childhood. Some sad some happy. I was bullied In school I faced so much of it until one day I fought back
The song that made you feel like you could do anything in this world The world was at your hands No issues. No problems..just a song that meant happyness :)
Reap the wild wind A finger points to show a scene. (Take my hand. Take my hand.) Another face where mine had been. (Take my hand. Take my hand.) Another footstep where I once walked. (Take my hand) Take it all. You take my hand and give me your friendship. I'll take my time and send you my slow reply. Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it. Take all you want and leave all the rest to die. Reap the wild wind. A footprint haunts an empty floor. (Take my hand. Take my hand.) A fading coat that I once wore. (Take my hand. Take my hand.) Oh, desolation where I once lived. I have seen in times gone by. I have felt a different shadow on the wall, A stranglehold on a certain feeling. You take my hand and give me your friendship. I'll take…
Brings a tear to your eye. Them using the level in the video, actually doing real things, glorifying the advancement of the human spirit! I don’t LIKE the primitivism that’s dominating culture today, and I don’t like the excuses used to justify it! They’re about to rollout the guillotines. If they get the drop on me, I hope I can climb the scaffolding with head held high!
A much underrated band. I had a pen pal in Tokyo that loved Midge Ure, she basically turned me onto this band, John Foxx, etc. What talent! I think All Stood Still was their first song I heard.
Rest in peace, legendary producer of The Beatles and Ultravox, Sir George Martin. Thanks for all the great works. Thanks for posting this great song too!
A song from the 1980s. So much nostalgia a song like no other from a mature band for mature people who appreciate class in music that harks back to more simpler times. Weren’t they times that we miss so much. This is a band will live In our hearts for all time even hundreds of years in the future when mankind is no longer mankind.
Man you know your stuff. I used to think the P51 Mustang was the best plane of WW2 but after watching, reading about the Spitfire its truly a work of art! The Spitfire was a better plane.
@@gregbowser2258 the spit was also the prettier woman, much as I like the P51. It's the Memorial Day weekend today. I expect some enterprising fellows will be flying their vintage warbirds out of Buchanan Airfield near me===I expect to hear the purr of a Merlin sometime today or tomorrow as they take their personal Mustang for a spin.
@@nickmitsialis What a great name for the Rolls Royce engine that propelled great Allied fighter planes like the Spitfire and Mustang; Merlin. What a great, fitting name, and they do sound GREAT!!!
I clearly remember when this video came on MTV and I was completely blown away. Not only was the song very good, but it was Land Rovers and not least a couple of fantastic sequences with Supermarine Spitfire filmed at just the right angle. A great tribute to The Battle of Britain and English heritage in general. Spiritually, it could not be any better and more emotional. I had a Land Rover Series III 88" (short version) at this time and I was a big fan of Ultravox. Together with my education as a computer engineer, the car and band formed the framework for my early adult life. This is definitely quite nice to think about today and I often listen to Ultravox and especially the album "Lament" which I undoubtedly think is the best overall today even though the previous albums are more pure "synth" and therefore in a way more authentic Ultravox.
@MaGuffintop When I was 16 in 1985 I'd been into Ultravox for about 3 yeas and I started a YTS for painting and decorating and in the room where I was there was myself and 4 other lads two black two white,they came across as street wise types and pretty fake impressing each other,they soon took a disliking to me because I was just a normal young kid who spike my mind didn't want to impress anyone. After they'd laughed at me a few times one said I'm into soul what do you like (This was all of us on our first day there) the other lad said soul then he pointed at the other two,they said soul too,then he pointed at me and i wasn't going to lie so I said Ultravox. They all laughed at me and at lunch time one head butted me from another class room,i don't know why I'm telling you this I've never told it anyone before. I suppose it's just me saying be true to yourself. I worked the rest of the day but didn't go back the next day. I saw one of them years later and he was a junkie and still a bad lad,he didn't remember me but I remembered him because you don't forget bullies. I've always liked Ultravox and to be laughed at and headbutted for being different than these idiots is something I've never forgot..
"Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it. Take all you want and leave all the rest to die..." I was 15 when this song came out. It still hits me today.
The Quintessential album from the New Romantic era - and the ultimate "NuRo" song. Masterpiece! I was working at a small radio station in Central California that played Adult Contemporary music. I was the overnight DJ so I would slip this song on to my playlist on occasion - usually around 4AM so station management wouldn't hear it haha. One day, the morning DJ came in and asked me what song I was playing around 4:15 that day. Anxiously, I told him figuring I was about to get fired (he was my boss). But to my surprise, he said, "I LOVE this tune." And we added it to the playlist rotation. It was a red-letter day!
Ich habe diesen Song 1983 zu ersten mal gehört...danach nie wieder...ich wusste es war ein Song entweder von Ultravox oder Midge Ure ....und heute spielt unser Lokalradio ein remake von 2009...Super Song in Endlosschleife....
Que creatividad! Que talento! Y que maravilla el youtube para expresar y compartir lo que uno siente al ver y escuchar esta pieza maestra!! Imposible ver videos como éste hoy en día.
how i wish i could go back to 1986, nom im old and disabled but this music reminds me of my youth, and so i get a bit nostalgic, but the good news is that im no longer afraid of death i will take all my memories with me.
Brilliant,some timeless classics from the 80's, kraftwerk, soft cell, OMD, amongst many. Then by mid to late 80's some appalling music from the factory of stock, aitken and waterman and house music, whatever the hell that was. This track a favourite of mine from Mr. Ure and co.
Wow! The 80's was over 40 years ago. 'Something wrong with you, John' my girlfriend said. I drive an 80s Ford V8, listen to 80's music. Hell I'm happy.
Ah yes this takes me back to Duke of Edinburgh in the Cheviots, school discos, my parents who died so young of MND n cancer, chips n sausages on a Tuesday, the Kard bar in Newcastle,,so many memories, 56 now-what happened? I now have a lovely wife n have kept my health n happiness though. Northumberland 2024-a great place to be to keep away from the madness of the world today.
I caught my mother listening so I had to check it out myself! Good stuff guys ….. love to see a show when I tour Europe this summer unless COVID kills us all first! Peace!
You know how sometimes you search a half-remembered old song and it doesn’t quite hold up to your memories? Well, not the case here. Lovely. I will explore more by Ultravox.
When I listen to this song it reminds me of a time not that I need anything to forget that my life was so much happier back then. This is for you mum. I know your here with me always will be holding me wiping my tears mum
La única manera de disfrutar satisfactoriamente éste super temón de los 80's(1981 del siglo pasado)...,todo un clásico de la New Wave...;es escuchándola con audífonos de alta calidad...!! .

one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and i am grateful !!!
I was 17 in 1980 and loved every second of the 80s!
amen to that !!!!! ♡♡♡
Amen!
Absolutely

ULTRAVOX.....hands down one of the best bands in music history period!!!
People who know....know!!!
Others that don't... won't !!!
and thats the truth of the matter
Takes me right back to 1982 I was 19 I’m 57 whooooosh where did all the years go
ditto yeh where have they gone lmao
I hear you, I will be 52 in a couple of weeks. I miss the 1980’s
Lucky bastards, l am 61 still cant believe it ha ha ha.
I was 19 as well. The “world” seemed so much simpler....

One of the best sounding recordings of the 80s, or ever, really.
UltraVox.... most unique sound of any band I heard... Real Euro , mature lyrics and haunting song melodies and advanced synths.
I just realized this was produced by Sir George Martin. 👍
@@SD9Driver And Geoff Emerick as audio engineer ... who was best known for his work with The Beatles’ albums Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, White Album, and Abbey Road (one of the best engineers in recording history).
I agree
Love that ❤️✝️ band
Music of the eighties, simple music , lyrics you can actually understand..Every song had a purpose and meaning.
Unlike today!! Even life itself seems to have no purpose or meaning anymore xx
You could understand them but they still had that mystiqueness that takes some attention to understand. The world lacks as much of it now.
Right. I loved the fresh new electronic, trance type music. It was brand new 🏆
True.
Well, apart from The Birdie Song :-)
You knew music of the eighties would be there for us. Constantly keeping us happy
My brother had this on cassette on his walkman, After he passed it still Reminds me of him.
RIP buddy, he knew quality when he heard it.
Enjoy the good memories ye had together and be good my friend 👌
My brother too
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Ah, that's very poignant.
Really sorry for your loss.
Life's very cruel at times.
At 14, in the heart of America, this cassette was treasure. This band was a world of wonder, maybe best embodied in this classic. And when videos were rare windows into your heroes, this was a like a unicorn, or map.
MsMiguel70 completely agree. I listened to this album and especially this song endlessly in the mid 80-s
@@ladybuggy7676 excellent, but Jon Foxx was........ amazing
@@blktom77 fantastic band, so unique! Nothing like them since!!!
Ultravox with midge Ure brung me so many memories of my childhood. Some sad some happy. I was bullied In school I faced so much of it until one day I fought back
Thanks for being an alternative thinker in America
The song that made you feel like you could do anything in this world
The world was at your hands
No issues. No problems..just a song that meant happyness :)
I just miss those long good times in the 80's ❤
Me 2 so very much.
Reap the wild wind
A finger points to show a scene. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
Another face where mine had been. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
Another footstep where I once walked. (Take my hand)
Take it all.
You take my hand and give me your friendship.
I'll take my time and send you my slow reply.
Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it.
Take all you want and leave all the rest to die.
Reap the wild wind.
A footprint haunts an empty floor. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
A fading coat that I once wore. (Take my hand. Take my hand.)
Oh, desolation where I once lived.
I have seen in times gone by.
I have felt a different shadow on the wall,
A stranglehold on a certain feeling.
You take my hand and give me your friendship.
I'll take…

quality is evergreen
One of my favourite Ultravox songs.And the video was really fantastic.
Three incredible albums, in three years.
Extraordinary.

The engine for classic 80.s..the greatest music generation .....ever .
This takes me back to a decade I wasnt even born in... this song has so much emotion
Had forgotten this from this wonderful band. What a band!
what a band?
Thanks to my older brother for giving this music passage to me back in the 80s. Love ya Bro.
This song actually makes me weep. It's that good. Tears roll now...

May I ask why
Still gives me chills even all these years later.
I don't think I've heard this song before despite growing up in the 80s. Sounds magical
Perhaps the most under-appreciated song of the entire decade. This quintessentially is the 1980's in 3 minutes!!!
Hermoso recuerdo de Ultravox .......................................... un abrazo inmenso de Peru ❤❤❤❤😎👍...
Love this! I totally forgot it. Good to hear it again almost 40 years later ☺
I love the storytelling in this video. Like Casablanca, or Hell's Angels. Such vision! The end credit is perfect.
That ending; is it long passed pilots who greet their former foes and guide them to the gates of Valhalla?
A perfect song for Remembrance Day. Poppy for all who served.
Great tribute to Past Heros
Jak to mozliwe ze wystarczylo 50 lat i z narodu bohaterow zrobil sie narod tchorzy?

The only Ultravox song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at number 71. It also reached number 27 on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart.
Thank you, Midge!! What a Blessing you where to my teen years in 1980"s while Cold War Scared Hell out of All of us
Oh the Cold War, yeah....scary but fascinating...
Cracking tunes
Comprato tutti gli album dei ULTRAVOX !!!💟💟💟💯💯💯👏👏👏💟💟💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯

More 80s brilliance
I love this song...and had forgotten all about it❤
Well you probably did love as much as you thought.
Timeless. Makes me appreciate the efforts of The Few too
This is not just good, but amazing. Really enjoyed listening to that. Learnt a lot about their melodies and composition. Impressive stuff.
Saw Ultravox in Utah in the late 80's great show happy times loved the music of the eighties.

Haven’t heard this gem in years. I actually had this on vinyl on its release. Incredible!😃👍🏾👍🏾
Ultravox the collection was one of the best albums out in the 80s
I loved dancing to this one. The year was 1983 when I first heard it, very popular song at the clubs and house parties. Great memories!!!
Exelente Tema . Años 80s..los mejores. Grande Ultravox
Another great song from the band !
I was born in 1985 I don't remember the 80's but I'm so thankful to be born in that amazing decade ❤️
I lived a dream come true tonight when I saw Midge live tonight.
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
I was so lucky being a DJ in my spare time in the 80s and this song is pure class
Great track....great band.
When alternative really was alternative....
how i wish i could go back to 1986, nom im old and disabled but this music reminds me of my youth, and so i get a bit nostalgic, but the good news is that im no longer afraid of death i will take all my memories with me.
Absolutely stunning
Produced by Sir George Martin, which in hindsight proved to be an inspired choice as Reap the wild wind has emerged as a iconic piece of 80s art.🎹🎼
Brilliant,some timeless classics from the 80's, kraftwerk, soft cell, OMD, amongst many.
Then by mid to late 80's some appalling music from the factory of stock, aitken and waterman and house music, whatever the hell that was. This track a favourite of mine from Mr. Ure and co.
Amazing tune, great video. Timeless.
A song full of life and joy
Man, we all reap that wind eventually. Bright and blessed be.
Love Ultravox!
At around 2:17, you will see one of the best shots ever in a music video.
What an incredible song and video.
Brilliant tune 💯 pure Bliss 💕
All Ultravox I have listened to, none measures up to the awesome track. This is Boss!
It definitely should be one of the favorites for the Air Force as it is for the Generation 60's!✌️🏻
Truly unforgettable memories
I remember arriving back in UK I was 20 in 1982 fantastic song
Thank you Chris. You will be remembered. Grateful for your contribution.
Beautiful song and video. I miss quality like this in today's music.
Wow! The 80's was over 40 years ago. 'Something wrong with you, John' my girlfriend said. I drive an 80s Ford V8, listen to 80's music. Hell I'm happy.
Ah yes this takes me back to Duke of Edinburgh in the Cheviots, school discos, my parents who died so young of MND n cancer, chips n sausages on a Tuesday, the Kard bar in Newcastle,,so many memories, 56 now-what happened?

They don't Max! Well said
I was 13 then, what a great time
Also 13 in 1982. Ultravox is seriously underrated!
Yep me too, its the 82-13 club

One wish , to relive the best decade ever 🎉 80s magic
You know how sometimes you search a half-remembered old song and it doesn’t quite hold up to your memories? Well, not the case here. Lovely. I will explore more by Ultravox.
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
I have an addiction for this song, right now.
One of my top 5 all time favourites. Loved this song ever since I first heard it
I loved this from the very first time and still do
When I listen to this song it reminds me of a time not that I need anything to forget that my life was so much happier back then. This is for you mum. I know your here with me always will be holding me wiping my tears mum
