+Noob Blessed God, I'm tired of self-centered people like you, confusing world's history with their own. The world didn't turn upside down since the 80s and it was never "simple and innocent". It's just you who has grown up since then and now you see it with adult eyes - that's all.
+Noob Blessed this downbeat song, about a depressed and lonely man, struggling to find beauty in life, begs to differ with your assertions in other words, the irony is so thick you could sit on it...
+uldixxx The world is as we are. “It´s a wonderful, wonderful life” sings Colin Vearncombe. He gave us this wonderful song with this wonderful lyrics and helped many people to find their “verse in life”. We should celebrate Colin Vearncombe´s life because without it something would be missing. And we should live our life the way he taught us in his song. It is contagious. If everyone does it he/she will be example for somebody else and we will have a wonderful year 2016.
+Catherine Mchugh This isn't the original, the original was not a big hit in 1986, then he re-recorded it and released it in 1987, which is this version.
R.I.P Colin Vearncombe. Thank You Colin Vearncombe. This beautiful song brings back good memories. I was 17 when it was released. I had left home and was renting out a room in Harrow, London. Simple Times. Lovely Times.
A wise man once said that "a man is not truly dead so long as people speak his name". I like to think that also applies to people singing his songs. RIP Colin :(
It was in spring a few years ago I was driving to work - radio was on and I heard this piece and saw the world like with new eyes.... tears were falling down....I love this piece...
This is a kind of song that i heard when I was little but never found it again but on a random sunny day, this song was suddenly stuck in my head and I had to find it. Now I'm sitting here, enjoying life with this beautiful song ^^
This song is something special. Everytime my whole life flows through my head when I hear it. It makes me think only about good times in my life. Rest in peace mr. Vearncombe and thank you.
Veľmi rada mám túto pieseň. A dnes som sa dozvedela, že Colin Vearncombe zomrel. Nech odpočíva v pokoji a večné svetlo nech mu svieti. Budem na neho a jeho krásnu pieseň spomínať.
So sad to hear about Colin Vearncombe ('Black') today (26/01/16). This song was in the charts back in the summer of 1987 when my parents were splitting up. It's so important to me in my life; even now when I listen to it, I'm 15 again, feeling all the emotions I did back then. God bless you, Black, you gave us some wonderful music. Rest in peace.
R.I.P Colin Vearncombe AKA Black, who died today age 53. Will always be remember as the man who wrote the song that epitomised the carefree attitude born of dettachment from society and enable by the drastic improvements in living standards the late 80's brought.
I remember, I was 17, and I've heard this song. My life has allways been full of depression and anxiety, but this song has been giving to me hope always. Thank you Black, rest in peace.
A great, great song. It has always ranked as one of my favourite 80's song. Can this year get any worse for talent going too young? Damn this is so hard to write while listening to this song.
I can't say that I have followed Black as I was too young, but I can say that that track is stunning. I've always loved it. Beautiful, sorrowful, melancholic chords and superb vocals. Takes me back to being a young girl again, which is when I first heard it. It's always sad to see anybody having their life cut short by a tragic accident. My thoughts, sympathy and love to Colin's friends and family. xx
Ta chanson a bercé mon enfance, j'avais 9 ans. Je t'ai ré écouté des années durant, sans jamais me lasser de ta chanson, si belle, si parfaite. Je te pleure, chagriné que tu partes aussi vite. Repose en paix dans un Wonderful World.
Generation friends thinks that I am wierd becouse I like those good old songs. I am born in 1999, so this is totally not generation song but its childhood song. I enjoy at every seconds while listening to simmilar songs like this. Am I wierd? I think no.
I'm so glad I came across this song. I once knew a young man by the name of Andreas who told me this was his favorite song when he once a little boy. He grew up under harsh conditions and said he listened to this song all the time. Just as I cried when I listened to it when he told me about it, I'm crying now. I truly hope he has found peace and happiness. I love you always and forever and you'll be in my heart always and forever, Andreas,

+Dato Kesareli Amazing song! R.I.P.! From Budapest in Hungary.
R.I.P. Colin .. thanks for this unforgettable song
memories flow in my veins when i hear this song back in the days when things were simple and innocent . Boy the world has turned upside down
+Noob Blessed the same for me - it has sometimes special - in itself - deep calm sense of trust - maybe still working for ourselves
+Noob Blessed Um, times won't so innocent in the 80s.

To się nazywa muzyka tak naprawde mam 25 lat i zrozumiałem ze komputerowe zmienianie glosu itd nic nie daje a taka jest wspolczesna muzyka DZiekuje
witaj w klubie ja też mam 25 lat a muzyka lat 60,70,80 i 90 to jest prawdziwa muzyka a nie jakieś 3 po 3 i wielki hit! ")
Очень жаль, ушёл молодой ещё! Светлая память!!
Zbogom,legendo....
I play this song driving to work. Puts things into perspective.
R.I.P Black!
R.I.P. BLACK from Slovakia! :(
a lovely wife, a son, daughter and 9 grandchildren it certainly is a wonderful wonderful life, great song
If anyone is wondering, Black is the name of the artist, not the band. ;) And his real name is Colin Vearncombe and he's from Liverpool.
The music of my early years and still one of the top played songs in my library. Without it the 80s and 90s wouldn't be the same.
R.I.P Colin Vearncombe. We thank you for your wonderful music.
RIP Black ! Une très belle chanson ! You're wonderful !
What a beautiful song of hope and beauty. O my God, 2015 and the world is a horror now, God help us.
This song is something special. Everytime my whole life flows through my head when I hear it. It makes me think only about good times in my life. Rest in peace mr. Vearncombe and thank you.
Ahhh,the 80's-90's,walking on the beach and listening to good music,not the noise they call music this days.Great,great song full of memories.
