As a young girl, Toyah fascinated me. So different, so striking..and she still is!
but why the shower of Maltesers at 2.13?
@@sallyjoan mmmh looks good I guess? :-)
The West Midlands Answer To " Queen Boudica " Has Been " Transported Into The " 20th Century " And " Beyond " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965
I had the privilege to meet Toyah she was on my auntie’s farm in Salisbury she is such a lovely person so down to earth and friendly to talk to as I say it was a privilege to meet her she’s not like the rest of the popstars who wouldn’t even give you the time of day and it’s good to see that her and Robert are so happy together
😮 you lucky thing 😮 she always seemed nice on things I saw as a child 😊 like on tizzwazz. I loved her as a little girl basically and still do. Have all my life. 😊
Met her about 5 times now,she's always lovely
Nothin wrong with a little horse and dune buggy action😎🥰 go toyah be xena warrior princess 🤓❤️🇲🇨
Best song from toyah ever ❤❤
She pulled me thru my last year of school. Hate every moment in boring school. Yet I Want to be FREE became my mantra❤
Nothing like it...NOTHING Comes even Close to This Era in Music, Fashion...and Innovation!!!!!
Absolutely…so glad I grew up either this music…kids today missing out..

Ha! The old people waxing lyrical section:)
Ah, the early days of pop videos......when they REALLY were imaginative - if abit leftfield and slightly bonkers at times. At least they were original. Those were the days when everyone wanted a 'surreal' pop video.....from Toyah to early Eurythmics.......and Adam Ant to Ultravox. I suppose looking back, the 80's was the decade for the 'surreal' pop video. After this groups became more interested in making more realistic videos....and the magic as gone. 1980's videos are escapist and fantastical. Best of all they're still great to watch today.
Any new medium goes through an early explosion of novelty and experimentation, but then settles down to those forms that make the most money and gets rather samey. Computer games is another great example.
there's a good reason the style of the 80s was left behind so staunchly and quickly. nothing about it is timeless.
@@Brandon-cv9uh I disagree with you, but then I remember the 80's as I was around then. I'm assuming you weren't? Anyway, the best 80's music is from the first half of that decade (1980 to 1984). After this the music got blander, less innovative and more forgettable. Some of the music from the early years of the 80's is absolutely timeless! ...and could be written today.
There's still a lot of stuff like that made today if you know where to look, see e.g. Tommy Cash and Little Big.
Forever Monumentality! Unforgettable!!!
Toyah here is like a punk Boudiccea - absolutely brilliant. I think this was her greatest hit but she did some other wonderful songs too - like good morning universe and brave new world.
Yes! I can see the similarity. Wonder what Boudicca would do to Colchester if she could see the mess they've made of it today.
Was this ever a hit . Load of shit
Going to see her in June can't wait
I worked at Waterloo Station, (1885/1988),for 3 years, and imagined all I saw at cardboard city each day i thought was the future. 🙄. Toyah made me so happy, and accepted, and thankful, and grateful for the music /memories /sound. Derek. ❤️. Xxx.
Toyah is a Kate Bush fan and the two are friends. I was crazy about anything Toyah and still am. First saw her on uk tv show Shoestring, where I was hooked when she sang the track Danced, one of my all time favourites. Saw her as my first gig ever in Bristol Colston Hall, Changeling tour...mesmerized. Live no one can come close to her. Love and hugs to Toyah.
I always thought Toyah sounded a bit like Kate Bush but more rougher. I like both Kate Bush and Toyah.
Toyah's hair is epic in this video, like the sun
I remember being mesmerised watching this video as child. Absolutely loved it and still do. I really wanted her hair as well.
Glad I can say I lived through the Classic Toyah punk era
I've just discovered her! She's a breath of fresh air, I regret not knowing about her in the 80s!!! I blame my single mindedness pursuing metal and only metal in my youth. Oh well, hopefully, God willing, I've got many more years to be delighted by her.
I was a Toyah fan back then, and now I’m cursing myself for overlooking metal. Funny old world.
She does podcasts on YT with her husband. She is 65 and still touring. Enjoy😊😊
From the days when pop was fun.
The great Toyah Wilcox!
Loved her music and always will.
I always get chills with I hear the line "where the mountains meet the sea" a fantastic song from a great Toyah era and a real song of it's time. Toyah and Robert make such a lovely couple, such deeply interesting, intelligent and spiritual people.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Study a little kabbalah, and you might change your opinion.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 I don't think anyone is going to study kabbalah in order to realise the song is good. The number of people undertaking study of any kind in order to reappraise Toyah songs is likely to be zero.
@@JC-fs6xr if this is true, im so sorry for your friend. It must be terrible knowing this. We should always help when we can. I don't think an opportunity to do something to help others should be missed.
if only i could go back to 1981
Ian Phillips me too!!!!
we need Toyah back in the charts
the UK needs more TOYAH!!!
@Gareth Cooper if Kate Bush can do it so can Toyah
Toyah meets Mad Max in an exciting and rather dangerous-looking video! She must have been the darling of Elnett, back in the day! Somehow, this amazing song passed me by in the '80s, and I only got to know it in later years. It's a brilliant, thought-provoking song with a great beat and production, and I would've been converted to the cult of Toyah alot earlier on, had I have heard this amazing offering when it was released/ unleashed.👌🎶
A bit of boudica about the video as well.
With time Toyah has shown consistency with her music and creativity, definitely bonkers video. Please don't change anything
why the shower of Maltesers at 2.13?
Thank you Toyah for the song and the incredible orange hair, I loved both as a small child!
Toyah & Siouxsie Sioux are The Queens of Punk.Toyah is still as utterly beautiful as she was back then.She had the punkest hair imaginable.I always wanted her hair but my mum wouldn’t let me! I love the words of the end of the song,‘I’m breaking through,yeah’ it gives me shivers!.And is this amazing woman real?. Cos’ she’s still got that beautiful body now and even better boobs than back in the day!.Keep the rock&joy alive Toyah.And big shout to all Toyah fan’s& Punks out there I LOVE U TOYAH!. X
I absolutely loved this when I first heard it and now many years later I still love it every bit as much.💘💓💘
Always loved Toyah her look appealed to me even bought her make up,didn't quite look the same 😂😂😂
The first steampunk idol
Oh toyah it's good to hear that awesome voice again
Oh the 80s .what music .
Saw her just a few days ago. Fantastic gig!
Wild
love the song and video...great memories
but why the shower of Maltesers at 2.13?
Goddamn, I miss the 80s.
Me too, but we still have great songs like these to remember them by
@@alanbrett2174 🦋 & Toyah ⭐
Amazing years never to be repeated
Toyah has a great voice, & I have alway's liked her.
Just listen , this could have been released this week..definition of timeless.
This is so incredible .Toyah voice is power itself
by far her best song. her hair/outfit was amazing in that video.
The song is brilliant and the video is brilliant.
It must have cost a lot of money to put this video together. Still remember the first time I seen this in 1982.
God this transports me back to my school days, epic song and video from queen of Alternative rock punk music ❤.
To this day...still enlivening....thank you Toyah
Still better than the crap out today keep going 👍👍👍👍🚗
Takes me back to my youth-great song n Toyah still a fantastic character-need to see her live sometime!
So many memory's. Takes me right back me right back to my youth. My room was covered with pic's of Toyah. My first crush and she's still hot now.
Memories. Pics.
Godley & Creme directed the video! Absolutely brilliant. Her albums always gave solace comfort and the sharp little edge I needed to be me!
Watching this during a heavy lightning storm in Guangzhou, China, and reminiscing when this was in the charts, and Toyah was one of the coolest ladies around. Funnily enough, she still is.
What a fantastic yet beautiful song,which brings,and keeps many lovely memories for me,thankyou Toyah ❤️❤️
Pure genius, toyah reawakened me from my memories of the 1970s,(post punk), with her own sound, and image, and vision from that decade, and onwards, I believed this was the future, (what happened?). Memorable/important music /writing.
I want to go back to those times. 😭.
Brilliant!
Love Toyah and all the theatrical videos and the songs.... takes me back... doesn't seem that long ago but it is.... She was a big breath of fresh air coming into the music scene in te 80s.... we need more YT views... she was so big then.... tell the next generation.
OHHH YEAHHHH XXXX
As a long time fan of Toyah, I had the great pleasure of doing personal security for Her at one of Her concerts some years ago. Despite being full on in Her videos and having a huge stage presence, I found Toyah to be quite a shy person, who did not seem to relish the attention She received while signing various pieces of merchandise thrust in front of Her. Eventually this stopped and She took My arm and quietly asked if I could return Her backstage to collect a few belongings, then escort her to Her car parked outside the venue, We chatted briefly, She thanked Me, gave Me a hug then got into Her car and drove off, I had expected Her to be whisked away by someone else, but this just proved Toyah is is an independent woman. Great memories. Thankyou Toyah.
Great never seen this vid.
What a true legend Toyah is!
like the fact fact you said IS not was....
@@ickleshouse actually the real word is was.
When I were young , this was my favourite song! I remember having it on repeat for at least two hours! Can't say I knew any of the words and I still don't but I think it was the tune that I loved!
this was the first single i ever bought - we did not have a record player so i had to play this on my grandads radiogram - needless to say - when he heard this HE WAS HORRIFIED !!! HA HA HA HA
She is amazing i just learned of her today this is everything i wanted she could write for music film scores this is amazing
Saw Toyah on Friday at Frome Memorial Theatre Up close and personal Acoustic show . Boy Can she move , has lost none of her Energy at 60 ! ( you couldn't tell ) and her voice is Insanely Sublime. Down to Earth and the stories she Told were Gold .
Wow I love this song and video
there's cirtainly some esoteric connotations to this vid (symbolism)
Toyah I'm chilling out with your sounds.
Thanks and have a great day and ❤❤❤❤❤
Best use of a Fiat I've ever seen. Nice one Toyah.
Most horse power its ever had
Fiat Mustang
@@maxprivate3805 ahah
I love my fiat.. Sorry guys, but I do
🔥 Always loved this song 👍
Cracking song, this - I was nine when it came out - I loved it then and I love it now. Cheers for posting
Moi, j'attends tjrs depuis..... Pour avoir un nouvel album de TOYAH ...
J'ai le vinil... J'attends tjrs un nouveau vinil ou C.D. ?????????????????????
J'adore le vinil... GENIAL... (Moi, j'ai tjrs été comme toi, un peu hors norme... Entre le punk, le métal et autre...)...
One of my favourite songs when I was a teenager! I think I wore out a stylus of three playing it over and over. Toyah you are mighty ❤ Also very thrilling chariot work!
Where the mountains meet the sea
And lights spit stains on the scenery
And the air is heavy with a sticky unease
I wish for my world of make believe
And the rebel in my soul says go
And the rebel in my soul says go
Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?
Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains
There's a motorway it's a monument
To distant cities with distant cries
A problem an explosion
Just a spark sets the anger in motion
And the rebel in my soul says go
And the rebel in my soul says go
Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?
Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains
Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?
Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains
And it's breaking through
Breaking through
Breaking through
2nd single I bought.... Brilliant!!!! Good Times 👍
What was the first single you bought
First single I ever bought with my own money.
What an amazing track
love this video - very mad max.
+MARK GLADSTONE VERY Mad Max, yes!!
This needs to be adapted into a post apocalyptic musical.
Mad Max, yes, but a very English version, the chariot has hazard lights. Can't be too careful when rampaging through a post apocalyptic fantasy realm
Godley and Creme!
QUE DU BONHEUR... ENFIN DU GOTHIQUE AVEC DU PUNK... SUPER... JAMAIS VU,,,
I have seen Toyah twice, she is still as captivating, no change xx
but why the shower of Maltesers at 2.13?
Toyah is queen of punk and the best thank you Toyah❤
Toyah will be one of the acts performing Saturday 14th August at 'Let's rock - Southampton'....so much looking forward to an 80's rewind 👀👍
bring back the 80's ...classic.
Toyah Wilcox had total original talent. She copied no one. Vibrant music and the videos were spectacular too!
She once thanked me, and called me a gentleman, because I held a door open for her many years ago (Marks and Spencers Birmingham city centre 1977) she was tiny!! but nice though.. A good Birmingham girl.
(wonder if she remembers me?)
No doubt she remembers you...You were in the nude at the time....LOL. X :)
Toyah shopped at Marks and Sparks😲? What a sell out!
@@robinbrum Don't be disheartened. She was probably going in to swap the sizes around on the clothes hangars. Urban Retail Rebellion!
That’s because the only attention she was shown by men is when they were pawing at her. The fact that you showed her kindness was probably gratefully received and appreciated. I’ve heard many a story where she’s clouted guys for grabbing at her!
Thank you for reminding me just how brilliant Toyah was - this is excellent.
My favorite female artist from my youth still thier 36 years later love you Toyah xxx
Now this brings back memories because on it's release, I was at a tv studio for an old tv show called CBTV channel 14 where my brother was a guest, I was only 6 years old but I remember this song so clearly, it has never left me.
Great song & Great video. My favourite Toyah record. The early eighties had some great artists & video directors. I miss the eighties !
A big big part of my life thank you Toyah xxLush
My fave Toyah cut. LOVE the chorus! So uplifting and soaring. She has such a unique voice. Hazel O'Connor is another similar singer.
it is so ahead of its time toyah wilcox you're ace. seen you in concert in brighton it was awesome xxx fantastic now still
Hello Toyah .Awesome singer and video my favourite song ❤😊🎉
My favourite song as a punk teenager. It's been years since I saw this. Could never find it on here so cheers for the upload 😆
Great video. She was going quite a speed. I bet that was a bit risky 😯
What a beautiful song. I loved it back in the 80's when I heard it first time and now recently re-discovered it. This is my favourited song of yours. I enjoy listening to it more and more. Honestly, Toyah is one my all-time pop idols. Thanks Toyah for all the lovely music. So nice to see you are still going as strong as ever. GOD BLESS YOU. I am enjoying your new videos with Robert. Really lovely. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND YOUR LOVE. XX.
I still see her popping down to lidl in that same chariot😀
What a Great tune .. I hope she releases it again
toyah the conqueror, brilliant
❤❤ Ill always have these to remind me of my mum when she passes shes loves Toyah still does she a little punk when she was younger haha
i always loved that song.... great stuff.
I understand so much, after just watching this.
Before the Sunday Lockdown Lunches and Robert Fripp being Robert Fripp!!! KC and The Moonshine Band!!! 😁
Ive met Toyah at the NEC with my daughter we love her so much shes a good friend I idolise her
She's still wobbling ....if you know what I mean ...having seen the lastest video with fripp
Got a right pair for 62.... no need for the bra either 🤣
It's what Sundays were made for
First time was 'I want to be free' when I first heard of Toyah Wilcox. Next time recently it was as a backing singer on Squeeze's 'Cool For Cats' and the Sunday Brunch with Robert Fripp.
This is the first 45-single I bought of Toyah's. It's so cool to see the video for the first time also. She truly was a unique talent and vision. I loved her albums, image and concepts. The Greatest!
In Modern British Pop Music by Female Artists, 'Thunder In the Mountains' by Toyah is one of the most passionate songs I have ever heard by an English Pop Singer. Not just the song, but also the music video. It shouldn't really be that way because the video looks quite cheap in what they could have spent for a music video at the time, but with her voice, these particular visuals and Toyah's 150% passion; the whole bloody thing just works.Even though the music video looks cheap, you can see there was complete design innovation in how this music video came across for the public.
The thing about Toyah is that she always gave 150% in everything she recorded and showed on music video.That's why her songs and visual images are just so moving to watch even by the advancement of today's industry music standards.
***** Agreed
OMG i STILL love this girl! Toyah was and is soooooo gorgeous!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🤟🏻🇬🇧
