This song was new when I met my future wife @ 19 years old. She asked me out through a mutual friend. Oh my, she was so pretty with that smile, 80's hair and a she was and still is a real sweetheart. She told me I was the most handsome boy she had ever saw. A year later we were married and still are. Where have the years gone to?
Good to read about you guys. I came out a pub near home, rather drunk after being dumped, she conned me into taking her home. that was in1970, now it's 2024, we got married in 1972 still married today 11/7/24. That is 52 years wed in September this year 2024. She was not quite 17 I was just of 20, Motown and the Twins fed us while young. Kids of today do not know what good music is, sorry kids, our grandkids laugh when they see us kiss and dance. Hey we are still on the honeymoon. Every word here is the truth. Love from Perth Australia
@@grahamgriffin-q9s In this day and age they'd wanna throw you in jail over her age, let enough people read that post and they'll start a movement against you demanding your employer fire you, the community you live in run you out of town and have you jailed over what transpired 52 years ago. And these kids behind these movements think they're making the world a better place, they're ruining it is what they're doing.
Ohh the glorious decade of the 80s and this band that I miss so much!! I am glad that I experienced it in my teenage years!! Who else agrees with me on this?
Perhaps the best of all the decades no matter where you happened to be !! I grew up with this music in sanctioned South Africa and forever glad for the independent radio stations that played non conformist or banned music due to a good deal of smuggling from the surrounding countries..
I was 10 in 1983, 17 by 1990, 18 1991, 19 1992, 20 1993, 21 1994, 22 1995, 23 1996, 24 1997, 25 1998.......etc.etc. I had a great life. Now the 2000s to now everything garbage. The only great thing is the weather, excellent health, my only son now 21, I never wanted to get married 😂😂😂
Kid for me Cartoons Toys Video Games and Tapes Food and Entertainment 2channels perfection we had the right amount of technology no speed all genre well received from all over Our World the World 🌎🌍 another stratosphere league class scale level call it what u like
If society would really listen to this song and try to live out the message from the Thompson Twins…we would all be much happier and better off. This song is better than gold.
I was 20 years old in 1984 and the best years of hits was from 1982-1986 the late1980s was fading away with very little hits and it started picking up again into the early 1990s to 1997 then faded away again.
I was 13 in 84 and agree after around 87/88 music started taking a turn for the worse, the odd decent tune came along here and there but not as prolifically as earlier in the decade.
@@david2869 i was 23 in 1984 working for Blockbuster video! what a wonderful era..Indeed 1984 had some of the very best music.. classics such as "Round and Round" by RATT and Haircut 100's "Love Plus One" standout with 873 other great songs
The 80's! I was there! It was a privilege. It was my childhood .Thanks to all who participated. It'll never be duplicated again in all of human history! ✌️
We all knew at the time we were living in an amazing time for music and outrageous haircuts 😂. Listening to this is like a time travel were you get glimpses how we used to be....❤80s!
The person who runs the terminal music at the airport I work at, is almost exclusively 80s music. I hear this and other Thompson Twins songs all the time.
Where was I when this song was new? I was 13, so how I missed it, I just don't know. I used to watch MTV (remember when they had actual music videos?) and TBS Friday nights, Night Tracks. I found this on Pandora and I have probably listened to it 100 times. I always LOVED the Thompson Twins.
The descending and contrapoint chords and baseline from 0:30-0:39 are just perfection. It's the ultimate hook. Who else but these amazing musicians ever wrote such complex and interesting chords in a pop song in the 80's, apart from Nik Kershaw? What talent.
The Band having fun wonderful Video shows it 80s buzz.The then hubby and wife Tom the playmaker Singer and Alanna the Girl and the other guy all blend their Vocals so well.To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
Love the Beatles reference.....Love is all you need.....Thompson Twins 4 ever ❤......Lucky to experience them in the 1980's......One of the best 80's bands hands down imho.
I'm s big fan of the thompson twins! I always thought they were brother sister, but the name came from a British deceive show! I'm an 80,s kid! We all tried to dress like these bands in high-school! The rock stars set the fashion! I always wanted tom,s hair! I read that dome actually cut of his ponytail at a concert and he had to were a fake on until his real hair grew it back!
This song and video are fantastic. If only people would live by those words. Thompson Twins put a lot of feeling into their songs. The small robot was Omnibot, which I had wanted back then.
1985 was the year we got our first (Beta) VCR. I remember because I started recording music videos off the TV and this was one of the first ones I taped! I was just 10 years old. 😊
So, I just searched for “Hold Me Now” assuming that The Thompson Twins were a one hit wonder…. And WOW was I wrong! I literally just rediscovered about half of my favorite songs from the 80s that never knew who the artists were. ❤❤
.... *THIS POOR, POOR SONG!!* ....This was was a Top Ten hit March 1986, and NO ONE remembers it! ...TT had a LOT of behind the scenes drama at the time, but... it's unfathomable that this cute ditty sat with some of the BIG CONTENDERS in March '86, and it gets little mention...let's peek at their peak (at #8 Pop), then, shall we!?? (cont.) 10. Kiss - Prince & The Revolution 9. What You Need - INXS 8. ***King For A Day*** - Thompson Twins (...why doesn't ANYONE remember this tune!???) 7. Nikita - Elton John 6. Kyrie (7" mix) - Mr. Mister 5. R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. - John (Cougar) Mellencamo 4. Rock Me Amadeus - Falco 3. Secret Lovers - Atlantic Starr 2. Sara - Starship 1. These Dreams - Heart
I wasn’t even alive in the 80s, but this song is so memorable to me. CVS plays it at least 2-3 times in an 8-hour shift. It took a while to figure out the name of the song and the band, but it’s a vibe.
The music. The dancing the movies the raw emotion the heartbreak the love.. It makes me sad to know that the kids of today will never know any of this..
I absolutely can't stand this song! It reminds me of loosing and not having enough of anything such as income! It also brings back bad memories of loosing my beloved cousin in winter of 1986. I certainly love Hold Me Now which was released a couple of years earlier!
Muy buen grupo los sigo desde sus inicios ... Lamentablemente nunca hicieron nada grande ni un concierto monumental gigantesco como muchos otros grupos de su época siempre se mantuvieron apenas a flote Nunca con muchos números uno en el ranking siempre se acostumbraron a los terceros lugares Y hoy en día solo se les recuerda Ya que el grupo en sí ya no existe

SO MUCH THIS!!!!!
Totally
I agree! I miss it so much! ❤️
Yes we had the best time
I love the Thompson twins they made some music
I'm gonna be bold and say that 1986 was the best year of music in the 80s.
It definitely wasn't a bad year!
84 was my favourite. Apparently voted as such in a poll, but who am I to say? 80s full stop will never be repeated
84 was my favourite and also voted best year for music apparently on radio
@@garyfinnerty1628 sorry didn't see you what you had said, and also 80's was amazing yes
I've heard that too. It was the year I awoke to pop music culture.@@grahamcheesman2252
What a time to be a teenager! Miss those days!
Perhaps the best of all the decades no matter where you happened to be !! I grew up with this music in sanctioned South Africa and forever glad for the independent radio stations that played non conformist or banned music due to a good deal of smuggling from the surrounding countries..
I do too 😢

@@nightowl6811 although the 80’s music was great,the nineties kept the great tunes going! There is no denying how awesome the 90’s music was.

The song quality peaked in 1984, arguably the best year for popular music ever.

King for a Day is my all time favorite Thompson Twins song, love the 1980's!!
I agree 💕👍
X 2❤
My God this takes me back to childhood. Listen to it monthly. Wish we could go back!
I wish we could too 😢

@@puryibacache8172 agreed and when Alannah comes in at the end it still brings chills! also love Lay you hands on me & Dr Dr
83 to 88 cannot be matched for diversity in music
agreed but i would expand back to 1980-89
We all knew at the time we were living in an amazing time for music and outrageous haircuts 😂. Listening to this is like a time travel were you get glimpses how we used to be....❤80s!
Some of the best times in my life, the 80s. And I've always been a big TT fan. How I long for those carefree days again!
I was in Walgreens today and this was playing. Ahhh, the memories it brought back.
The person who runs the terminal music at the airport I work at, is almost exclusively 80s music. I hear this and other Thompson Twins songs all the time.
THE GREAT DAYS OF " MTV "
WONDERFUL TIMES OF THE 80'S
I can never get enough Thompson Twins!
Nobody can say 80's music wasn't cool
Doctor, doctor! Please hold me now, since today I am the king for a day with listening Tommy's songs!
I was a teenager in late 80s and all through 90s. There will never be anything like it again. It was amazing.
That's the beauty of it. We enjoyed it then, and in our memories we enjoy it now. Keep playing that music...
Thank you Thompson Twins! I still listen to this song regularly.
I wasn’t alive during their run but i’m 20 now and enjoying their music, have been since i was 8 years old
Third Top 10 hit for this awesome trio. What '80s memories are made of.
80s baby, nothing better.
My favorite TT song. I saw them with Howard Jones and Frankie Gies To Hollywood in the mid 80s.
High School with this fantastic music...those were great times!
Okay ....seriously cool tune.
One of their more amazing songs of all time!
Where was I when this song was new? I was 13, so how I missed it, I just don't know. I used to watch MTV (remember when they had actual music videos?) and TBS Friday nights, Night Tracks. I found this on Pandora and I have probably listened to it 100 times. I always LOVED the Thompson Twins.
The 80's had such great music. I love it all even still
This song really puts me in a good mood
You can be be bold all you , I'm an 80,s kid, the thompkin twins were legendary! And their fashion was was trend setting!
Love this on my Play list, Thompson twin are great 👍
The descending and contrapoint chords and baseline from 0:30-0:39 are just perfection. It's the ultimate hook. Who else but these amazing musicians ever wrote such complex and interesting chords in a pop song in the 80's, apart from Nik Kershaw? What talent.

Muy buen grupo los sigo desde sus inicios ... Lamentablemente nunca hicieron nada grande ni un concierto monumental gigantesco como muchos otros grupos de su época siempre se mantuvieron apenas a flote
Nunca con muchos números uno en el ranking siempre se acostumbraron a los terceros lugares
Y hoy en día solo se les recuerda
Ya que el grupo en sí ya no existe
Music , beautiful it!.
Happy days❤
They pretty much were (though it wasn't easy finding a job then).
Stuff was a lot more affordable.
Great tune
This music never changes great job guys maybe another album 2025
Extraordinaria agrupacion esto es musiç lindos recuedos grande thompson twing
This song is gold! Why can't we have music like the 80's had? I play it for my young adult kids.
My favourite brought back a lot of memories
Yes!! Mitchy !!🎚️
This feels like it was written to be played over the end credits of a movie that never got made.
Glad the video is up!
I wanna go back then life sucks now
Beautiful song
Great days....
Saw them in 1984 paramount theater seattle
linda canción
Tune! 💜
I always thought the lead singer and the girl wete twins, hence their band name, but they got the name from an English TV detective show!
King for a day a favorite of Long Island girls
