Spoons - Nova Heart (Live)

- A timeless classic from a great Canadian 80's band. Cut from their 1984 show at the Montreal Spectrum from the Spoons Live DVD www.thespoons.ca. So lucky to have them perform Nova Heart 35 years later at my 50th birthday party! • Spoons - Nova Heart (L...
Best version ever. Sandy's background vocals are haunting.
I have loved them for 40 years and finally met Gord and Sandy in downtown Toronto and got them to sign my Novaheart CD single. 🎉❤
I listen to it again and again in december 2023. I think it's one of the best live version of a canadian song in the 80's.
I love this song so much. The music in the 80s was so good. The Canadian music was really great.
One of the finest New Wave songs of all time, by any standard.
It's because all that a tiny little independent band had to do was put out a single. If it was good enough, large media outlets like MuchMusic and CFNY that were very pro-Canada would ensure regular spins in one market, and then CanCon regulations provided the path from those two outlets to full radio saturation.
So we got Spoons, Men Without Hats, Rough Trade, Payolas, Parachute Club, Martha & the Muffins, Pursuit of Happiness, Max Webster, Doug & the Slugs, Northern Pikes and so on. Every one of them wrote at least a couple really brilliant pop hits, and those pop hits got the opportunity for heavy airplay in Canada without needing massive corporate backing.
@@Hastur876 And then that was squashed flat to nothingness like a Tim Horton's sour cream glazed.
Definitely one of the most underrated Canadian bands in the 80’s. In my opinion, they would have been more popular if they were from England.
I think you're right and it's a shame. I say this as a Canadian too. I actually appreciate the band more now than I did back then.
They really got screwed over by their label.
Man, I saw them in Montreal. They blew me away! And still do.
Can you go into more detail, Tony? They were great! It sounds like an RBO "Le Feu Sauvage" story.
Check out Gord’s book.
The world seemed a much more innocent and happy place back then
it really was, and more honest
this song captured some sort of strange magic in a bottle....i just cant think of anything similar to this from other bands.....whenever it comes on the radio, it just blows the other songs away!
Burlington, ON should be proud of this superior Canadian Band!!
I remember when this song came came out. I was a young kid in the Army...decades flew by before I heard this again. Now I'm 60-years old and this song is on my Spotify. I listen to it all the time. Love it.❤❤❤❤❤
Once called Canada's own Duran Duran.
Best live performance ever. Tks.
Who didn’t have a crush on Sandy Horn?
My god, Gord Deppe was the most beautiful guy on the planet. I had such a crush on him! Sandy taught me that girls didn't just have to be background singers or play tambourine. They could be important members of the band not just with the band or in the background somewhere. Hugely influential band for me.
I loved Rob Preuss.
Firstly. I never realized what a good looking band they are. Second. They're very talented and this song still sounds great .
The most new wave song of all-time. Which makes “Nova Heart” one of the best records of all-time.
Burlington Ontario's best band. Well done.
thaats what i call pure canadian gold. awesomeness
Seen them in a local Bar in Guelph in early 1980's. Friend of mine went to school with the drummer. They had their finger on the pulse back then. This song is a 'Classic'...:)
Architects of the world
I walk your streets and live in your towns
Temporarily, architects of the world
You've served us well until now
But soon we'll be on our own
And I'll sleep, sleep in your
Nova heart
As things come apart
I'll hide, hide in your
Nova heart
At ease with the thought
That this nova won't burn out
This is probably the best day of my life thus far. Thank you so much. My first ever concert. Right in Simcoe Ontario Canada at the fair when I was ten. I was jumping on the chairs as a kid. It was awesome. Thank you. I love all of you. -John Ryan Scrivener a.k.a 'Johnny Incondia' -Hello. Wow. The Spoons. The f'n spoons. Alseep in your Nova Heart. Bless.
Great comment of your state of mind... at the time!
The quality of this recording is amazing
Fantastic performance! Excellent song!
Just saw them last night in Niagara Falls. Still AMAZING!!! Special.🎉❤❤❤❤
Fucking classic! Maybe my favorite song of all time.
Sandy's smile at 2:25. What a great beat, a great song and a splendid ending! Super video.
Great Canadian band.
Agreed. I don't get why they haven't been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the JUNOS yet?
Sandy Horne is ridiculously adorable.
The smile at 2:25 proves it.❤
Gord was so handsome 💙
danced onstage with the box at le spectrum new year's eve 1985!
I remember those days just after the release of Arias and Symphonies. All over the Niagara area it seemed that the Spoons were EVERWHERE promoting their album, giging in clubs. A year later I had moved to Belleville. Someone asked me if I knew the Spoons and I said "Just to smile and say hi, we're not close." She called me the biggest bullshitter she had ever heard!
I was MADLY in love with the bass player way back then! I thought she was the hottest girl and coolest bass player on tour! I love this video....... takes me way back!
I totally agree with YA OKLA.She was great in the video and still is hot !!
I saw them live yesterday and she was still really fucking hot.
Dude, you have no idea. The bass player is Sandy Horne. I went to the same high school as her. She was a grade ahead of me, although I was in her business class my second year. EVERY guy in the school wanted her, including me... but I was waaaaayy out of her league!
I met Sandy in 86 right before they played at Ontario Place. She was just walking around taking in sights and my friend and I started talking to her. very nice lady. Great concert as well, Nash the Slash popped out unannounced about halfway through the set.
Me too and lady Di on keyboard who knew!
Love this song and love this live version! Didn’t know they were Canadian! Love the 80’s hair!!!
Just listened to the "Collectible Spoons" CD after several years. I forgot how wonderful a band they are.
Many thanks for this video nyko3424, I am from Mexico (Sorry for my english) Saw them at Edmonton in 1982 and I could never forget this song. those were the days when I meet Ultravox, Clan of Ximox, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, among others. A decade like no other. This song was in my opinion at the level of this bands that have now a place in the history of the music. Many, many thanks for share this piece of art.
my pleasure.
I think you mean "Thompson Twins"
@@terryross4493 What? You've never heard of the Cocteau Twins? They weren't mainstream like the Thompson Twins, but were a popular British underground band that influenced many later bands with their trippy atmospheric sound. They have videos on YT.
They were absolutely great. I can't wait to watch the videos. Thank you.
ya esta en mi canal por si quieres visitarla... saludos
Canadian Rockers pure Legends ....great memories
Sandy rocksssss
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Saw them live at Acadia University in Nova Scotia in the fall of 1985. What a show!
Saw them perform at the ROM in 2015 - still amazing!
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉love my favorite music Happy Bunny Day❤
Mega cool song! Crank it!
remembering simpler times!
classic! who knew they sounded so great live??
I saw them opening for Daryl Hall & John Oates at the Forum in Montreal, they played Nova Heart at first, people were freaking out. I never heard something like this before. Very professional. One of the best Canadian Bands of the 80'S.
Where the hell was I? Dammit!
Men without hats
I saw that same concert in Toronto and it was aldo nova then the spoons with no keyboardist that didn't go over to well I like the spoons but aldo blew them away
FA BU LOUS! Long live the Spoons!
I was so in love with Sandy back in the day!
So Much Cow-Bell action!
Ths is a very special song. Spoons, great band!
the guy on the cowbell is doing the "Carlton" dance at 5:40 lol
awesome clip.....way under rated band...still sound awesome
I got to know the bass player. She's a really nice person. The song is so ahead of its time. A lot of bands can't pull their stuff off live. The Spoons did a great job. Loved the instrumental ending. Amazing.
Sandy Horn is a great bassist
@@74Voyeur She is amazing I even named my cat after her
Sandy Was Gorgeous n Still Is
Of all my musical guilty pleasures. this is still #1
I saw them play at an eighties themed New Years Eve party🥂 at the El Mocambo 🌴Toronto 2023, we had a BLAST 🎉memories to last a lifetime!!!❤😁
That El Mocambo is legendary! Stevie Ray Vaughn had his best performance there!
I Love the singing and guitar work and music of this song. They look awesome too. Backup singing is awesome too. I LOVE THIS!
I was there in '84!
I was 21!
Sandy winked at me!
Love ever and forever!
I got a fever , and the prescription is more cow bell !
Such a tight arrangement. Brava!
Man!! They are awesome!! Love that band!!
I've got a fever. A fever for more cowbell
Love this band! They were one of the rare bands of the '80's that were able to blend a nice heavy guitar rhythm with a catchy synthesizer riff. But what's up with the guy playing the cowbell? And what's up with the second drummer? They have a drum machine and their own drummer and they thought they might need MORE rhythm by adding a 2nd drummer and some guy playing a cowbell? What were they thinking? lol
Live percussion makes it groove instead of sounding robotic ;)
i love this group,
Back in the day -- Sandy Horne held my attention in complete thrall. She still does.
Lead singer also has a great guitar sound. Nothing but Stone Age guitar sounds since the 1990s in the USA. Awesome keyboard sounds here too.
Unreal....cannot believe this amazing SONG. SPOONS LONG LIVE.
I literally cried when Sandy did this to her hair, but I totally got it. Beautiful girl, beautiful style! My straight long hair was not 80's trendy either (but it is now lol). And Gordon - he was hot then and he's aged damn well ;)
Saw "The Spoons" 3 times in concert in the 80's. Always a great time. Man I had a lot of hair back then.
This is fantastic!!! I want more!!!
The Instrumental bit to end it is a Masterpiece
Damn......I......Miss......The.......80s
Best song ever written. I cant play it enough. My ipod blew up from playing this song on repeat 20 years ago but it is just as great now. Maybe even better.
2:26 … Lord Have Mercy!
They should have been as big as Duran Duran!
Video hits classics Canadian content
Something about the notes they choose in the music.... I saw them a Brock University in 1982 with Billy Idol, They were the opening act... way better the the music today for sure...
Mike
Must have been great,wish I was there.Funny how many commenters are starting to say what our parents used to say to us about the music then,eh?!
Billy Idol played frosh week again at Brock in 1988 along with the Village People! Interesting times thats for sure
Great analysis! I now listen to the note changes, thanks to you. Not as much on the girl (much!.. haha)
Great song. However: why are there not one, but two guys dancing around at the back play cowbell? Weird.
You always need more cowbell
A few years back "Air Farce" did an 80's themed show and at the end they brought The Spoons on to perform to this song.
They were on This Hour has 22 Minutes not Air Farce, was a good show though.
Brilliant Canadian talent.Thanks for coming to Peel with FL.o Seag.
Here are the lyrics which tie back to the original video of this song:
Architects, of the world
I walk your streets and live in your towns
Temporarily architects, of the world
You've served us well…until now
But soon we'll be. .we’ll be on our own
And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart
As things come apart
I'll hide, hide in your Nova heart
At ease with the thought
That this Nova won't burn out
Gentlemen, of the world
I read your books and look at your art
Hesitantly gentlemen, of the world
You want to educate our young
But soon they'll be…they’ll be on their own
And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart
At easy with the thoughts
That this Nova won’t burn out
Music interlude
And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart
As things come apart
I'll hide, hide in your Nova heart
At ease with my thoughts
And I'll rest, rest in your Nova heart
At ease with the thought
That this Nova won't burn out.
Adore this song....💜
This is absolutely brilliant!
The hair is awesome. I love it.
J'étais présent au spectacle SPECTRUM de MONTRÉAL, on a été filmé en ligne avant d'entrer. Quelqu'un a un copié de ce film. Que de bon souvenir. Sandy était WOW.
Keyboard player must be a fan of Nick Rhodes.
Who isn't though!
I sas there Nice souvenir Sandy was incredible
Perfect songs ro dance to amazing
Time for a 'well duh' comment...DANG but Sandy Horne was cute/attractive. Also, I have never seen a person play a guitar that is as close to the size of the person playing it as Sandy Horne does/did.
Heard this song so many times wanting to know who it was. Looked it up on a local canandian radio station playlist. Thank you Canandiania!!!
@stephenwaynereno
If you want, I can send you all the tracks from that album..I have the CD and happy to email you the mp3s. Just give me your email.
I’m not one to normally swoon over entertainers but good God Sandy Horne was the sexiest thing alive in the early ‘80’s!!😮
I remember them backing up hall and oates mlg in Toronto and they kept saying were going to try and do this without our keyboardist because he got tied up in customs and never made the show to bad
Lee Cabrera Remix makes this track much much better >>>>>
Was I in love with Sandy ? No...Infatuated...Oh Yeah !
This is from the 80s ?? It looks like it has been filmed like yesterday... awesome job !! :)
Damn Sandy could swing it while hitting the big notes!
Guy in back - I'm gonna play the fuck out of this cow bell
The beat is virtually the same as Human League's Sound of the Crowd. Both great songs.
Locals do good
Love this longer live version
This is one of my favourites.. thank you so much ❤️
Hi Megan. Glad you liked it. By the way, it’s Brent (one of the twins who had Gord and Sandy for our 50th)
@@nyko3424 so cool❤️
I spent years attempting finding the album this song (Nova heart) was a track on (arias and symphonies) during the eighties. Thank you so very much for taking the time to upload it here. Stephen Wayne Reno Monday, July 19, 2010
I've got the Nova Heart/Symmetry 7". Wonder if it's worth anything today.
@@Hastur876it’s worth everything that ppl will pay for it!
Got to see them live. Was a great time. Not gonna say when
So ahead of it's time!? what does that even mean? it was the epitome of the time, not ahead of it.
You're awesome buddy, probably the greatest comment ever left on UA-cam.
