Yes, great memories of good times. I was in high school and the pleasure of watching this video was not as easy as it is today, we had to stay up and wait to see it, man these kids got it made today. i also think about my mom and how young she was then, but I thought she was old. Ha, ha. She's 76 today. I Love you, Mom.
There is an atmosphere about this song that even as a kid got the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. This is a really classic track. It has stood the test of time.
one of the best parts of being a kid in the 80s was growing up to appreciate all the phenomenal music we were exposed to. as a 10 year old I didn't really understand music, but as an adult musician I look back to those years and realize I was around for some of the best music ever written
Anytime you hear a "call back" (repeat or sing next line) on the chorus it gets ppls attention. Especially a falsetto like Frankie Valli then most everyone gets goosebumps or chills.
No way...Holding back tears so that I can watch this. Makes me realise that time is relative. While watching this, Im a young man. The older me, remembers the younger me.
I was in middle school when this came out. I heard it on the radio and made my parents sit in the car with me in the garage until it was done. The production, arrangement, songwriting -- all gorgeous. I decided at that moment I would be a professional musician and music producer. And that's what I am. I'll always be grateful to Tom Bailey and crew for that moment, and this song, in my life.
I hope u have listened 2 Japan & there songs, especially the album tin drum, will blow ure socks of, u will not b dissappointed, the production, arrangement, the togetherness in harmony is perfection
My uncle died last month. Every time he picked me up from soccer games, he’d blast good 80’s music. This was his favorite, and listening to it now just brings sorrow. I still can’t believe he’s gone
I’ve lost everything but my son… I used to play this to him and dance in our back garden at our old house… he was about 3 then and that was about 10 years ago… THIS, and Starship, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now… He was such a fat, chubby, cuddly, happy baby and, somehow, these two songs bring us together throughout all we have lost. Side note: my friend used to play and tour with The Thompson Twins on drums!😊
I absolutely love this song even after all these years,I'm 60 and there will never again be a decade like the 80s. Brings back so many awesome memories. 😊😊🖤
I'm 54. Grew up in 80s. But I'll let 90s sneak into our little club. I know R&B broke through, but it was tame. It was small enough to let pop & rock lead.
I'm old as hell, having lived through the '60s. Damn good music in that decade. The music of the 1980s, along with the great music videos, pretty well matched it. Amazing stuff. Which decade is better? Doesn't matter. You love what you love.
This is one of the best songs EVER made. Def gets a score of 10/10. One of the legendary 80's songs that lives on...still sounds as good as the day it came out...never gets old...
i bought a new 1983 Mustang LX 5.0 5 speed convertible in '83. There were tons of Great songs to crank up as drove around in '82-86. Best days of my life!
I think Howard Jones 'What is Love' is one of the best songs EVER also. Amazingly neither got to number one in the UK charts. This got to no.4 and Howard Jones no.2
The Thompson Twins are actually British. Tom Bailey's ex-wife Alannah Currie was indeed from New Zealand. When they were married they lived in New Zealand until their divorce in 2003. Joe Leeway is now a hypno therapist in Tarzana California and a certified technician .@@dennisthorpe8134

Nice one! ☺️Their music was an anthem for the 80s. Like a lot of bands that made music then. It really defied a decade, in a happy way. To me the 80s felt like it was summer all the time😌☀️☀️
Back in those days. Music was still meant for freedom! Look at the 60s, 70s. The 80s was a natural progression from something beautiful, into something more beautiful! There was so many interesting styles in the 80s. From punk to new wave to reggae and so on.✌️
There's no more creativity in music anymore. It's always the same. The voices all sound the same and just can't capture the magic of the decades of old. Though contradictory to that statement there are a lot of amazing synth wave of today I discovered a lot of them through this retro wave wallpapers app on my phone that plays retro style synthwave music, my all time favorite would be this song called Still Haunting Me by Magic Dance. I highly recommend it, it needs to be heard. But in general the standard popular music is today just has no magic anymore.
@@GeddyLeeBell There is as much great music today as ever. You forgot or never heard the less popular songs on less successful albums from decades ago -- songs that got little to no radio play. Today, you can find almost anything online if you're willing to listen.
Me and my brother owned a gym back in the 80’s this song was always on. MTV. He died last month. I played this song while taking his ashes out to sea 🌊. Rip bro 😎. See u down the road.
No kiddin on what happened to the time. LOL Remember back then when older people would tell us to pay attention to and enjoy life, it'll be gone before you know it? Yeah, I think we're experiencing that now. 😄
@@MrsWuschwusch compared to John Lennon's previous 40 years in the ground, you've lived a life of kings. You know, not dead and all. If you're breathing, you have to be grateful for at least that. Have some perspective, you're well enough to enjoy good music aren't you
Was on a red-eye from SFO to Orlando FL to go to Navy boot camp on December 18, 1983, had a back row of seats all to myself. Fell asleep during flight with headphones on my ears, connected to plane's audio system. Hold Me Now along with a few other songs were in a continuous playing loop over a few hours I was asleep and this song is thankfully Ingrained in my head for life. Beautiful song along with Spandau Ballet's "True", and Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years". Good to see more of you out there appreciate the music.
I heard this on MTV so much when I was in my 20's and didn't pay any attention. Now it's re-entered my mind at 65 for some mysterious reason and I am really loving it!
God gives you those memories to share the good ones with the ones you love. Be strong brother, your best days may just show up unannounced when you least expect it.
Why VEVO RESTART the republication of every video of Thompaon Twins???? with only few views???? Where did the millions of views go??? ..No one fanatics of Thompson Twins did you notice this? SHAME!!!
I am so old and grumpy , arthritis, ect old peoples stuff but I still know every word and go back in time to when I was young and active the world was exciting and the future was bright and filled with choices Career, romance Wonderful trip down memory lane
This song popped into my head the other day, out of the blue. When it came out, It struck me hard at the time, 12, clueless, and skipping along the pond of life. 39 years later, I'm blown away at how well produced, arranged, and performed it is. The 80's just crushed it, and I'm lucky to have been coming of age at the time. It sent me on an 80's journey of music.
So figure out to make a dent life for yourself. The Boomers were the first generation to hv a real childhood. Unfortunately most of us had disrespectful parents.
I was 10, where did all the hope we had go? How do we get it back? I am convinced it is in these 80's songs somewhere. Only free spirits can find it though, hope yours still is, mine is!
J'm an Italian fan 58 years old and j have a big dream for me It's criminal that a band like them isn't playing their Art anymore J'd like to suggest a maybe utopistic proposal: why all' the fans that still love them so much and we'll always do won't all make a petition a collection of signatures and send to all' of them asking to reform their fantastic band?Maybe it's a crazy idea but why we don't try and proove Them how much we still love Them j really hope someone will join my idea
Flicking through the radio stations while taking my son footie training, l happened upon this song and was instantly transported through a wormhole to my teens! Can't describe the emotions that suddenly came over me, and my pining for what were the best years of my life!
This was the heartbeat of the 80's. It has "stayed with me" all this time. TT wrote songs that became a theme for the entire decade. I just heard one that made millions for Dr. Pepper in the same decade. Exquisite.
Oh how I long for such fresh sounds and melodies in this grey era, October 2024. Nothing sounded quite like this, and then the next week another 80's band came up with something completely new, and thus it went on week after week, new new NEW. Creativity, where art thou now?
It was good to go back to a time when we had real music to listen to. How much of the new noise will still be played in 30 years time ? But my money says you will still be able to listen to 60's 70's and 80's music
I'm watching this at 53 and despite the years, despite the pain, despite the neverending scramble of life I'm still that girl who listened to this song so long ago bopping out with her friends. I'm still f*cking ME!
Thanks Lord for giving me the 80s to live through, they were the theme to my youth, they still are, but remembered through misty tearful eyes, we were so happy then.
Tears of gratitude and joy roll down my face as I reflect on the great memories that are attached to this timeless song. I was 14 in 1984 and 53 today. Great times back then. Damn it was so freakin awesome to be a teen in the 80's.
This is one of those 80s songs that your mom used to play when you were a kid, nonstop, took me until I hit my 30s to really appreciate and understand this song and it’s actually one of my favorites now. Love it
Im 50, in 1984 we drove from Portsmouth RI to Kings Dominion Va and we were listening to TT in the car and to our amazement, they were performing at the park when we arrived .. True Story ❤❤
Speaking as an Englishman (for indeed I am one), I don't think we should overlook the Celtic nations contribution to popular music during this period and beyond. When describing the incredible music and talent that has sprung forth from these islands, we should always use the term 'British.' Not a criticism, just an observation.
I have a sister. She took me to Purdue University. Clowes hall. Berlin opened. Before Take my Breath Away. It was just a bit lewd. Still I will never ever forget the BEST Twins EVER.
I lived through the 80s with my sisters. What a great time! Driving around town with the top down listening to great music. Both sisters are gone and I just lost my dad. Now, the music that I love, makes me cry. 😢
The 80s is the decade that I became a young adult. This was a good time to be, we had the best music to listen to. Will never forget the Thompson Twins.
These People's Are Everything... Sharing their all for us. Oh Lord let me live the 1980's again. Be Kind and Love Everyone People, this is our Destiny, our Purpose.
@StephenPaul-wg9mt You are so right, and I couldn't have said it any better. I just wish we all could be kinder and more loving towards each other. But unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon. But I'm still hoping for a miracle. Have a great day, and keep the good vibes going. 😊
Hard to believe TT unleashed this wonder hit 4 decades ago. These British popsters told music fans to " Hold Me Now". Music fans still do even in this day and age!
The 80's music was fab-u-lus there will never be any music again to compare with the fabulous recordings of one single hit after the other. They were all BOSS. Loved those 80's smokin hits. Miss the real 🎵 hits!

No truer words have ever been uttered.
...and the 70s.
That's a classic rock from the 80's
Cobra kai with the 80s music. Makes it so much better and kind of feels like an 80s show. Great song
Glad to hear this 80s classic on Cobra Kai
It took me way back 😊
Just finished it!

I love this song
All of us growing up in the 70’s and 80’s…..WERE BLESSED! The music rocked
Absolutely we did ☝️🎶🎼🎵
I love this song I’m was born 1982
Thank goodness we were witnesses to this awesome era 🫶🏿
Indeed, now just made, pushed & over produced Satanic BS throughout all the music industry with auto tune!
Sickening.

I miss the 80s
love this song even though I'm now 72, great memories of good times!!

The 80s were just magical, phenomenal and unforgettable. 💯💯💯
I’d do anything to go back 😢
Xp@@Nick-oh5dd
Certainly produced MANY phenomenally creative sounds. The last decade to do so (IMO).
Yes indeed
We didn't know it, we were too busy living it, enjoying it. We were so lucky weren't we...
No way...Holding back tears so that I can watch this. Makes me realise that time is relative. While watching this, Im a young man. The older me, remembers the younger me.
Time is a thief
@@goldenvulture6818 A mean thief
That's the power of music.
Best comment. So damn true
Welcome to the club my friend! I wish I could find a time machine to take me back to 1981 the year I graduated from high school.
I was in middle school when this came out. I heard it on the radio and made my parents sit in the car with me in the garage until it was done. The production, arrangement, songwriting -- all gorgeous. I decided at that moment I would be a professional musician and music producer. And that's what I am. I'll always be grateful to Tom Bailey and crew for that moment, and this song, in my life.
Amazing moment… sometimes that’s all it takes 😊❤
Just want to say that I subscribed to your channel just because of your antidote
Was in middle school, too, when it came out. Remember listening to it on my portable cassette player.
I mean it's ok, wouldn't say its near the best of the 80s
I hope u have listened 2 Japan & there songs, especially the album tin drum, will blow ure socks of, u will not b dissappointed, the production, arrangement, the togetherness in harmony is perfection
Just sit back and let the killer bass and vibes wash over you and sweep you away.
God, I miss the 80s.
1984, listening to this album on cassette tape with my Sony Walkman.
Me too !!!!😢😢😢😢😢
Black sony walkman

YES! God, those were the days.
I had an office tape recorder playing this, 4 "c" sized batteries, oh man those were the times.😊
Nothing can't out compete our Era. Long live Gen X

I Don't know ? Us boomers rocked!!!
It may have been Gen X kids listening but the music/artist was made by MY BABY BOOMERS! ❤❤

My uncle died last month. Every time he picked me up from soccer games, he’d blast good 80’s music. This was his favorite, and listening to it now just brings sorrow. I still can’t believe he’s gone
By celebrating his influence on you by playing songs he liked, you may find joy in that grief. Joy for his life and the ripples he cast.
I’ve lost everything but my son… I used to play this to him and dance in our back garden at our old house… he was about 3 then and that was about 10 years ago… THIS, and Starship, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now…
He was such a fat, chubby, cuddly, happy baby and, somehow, these two songs bring us together throughout all we have lost.
Side note: my friend used to play and tour with The Thompson Twins on drums!😊
When they are still in your Heart
They are never totally gone...
Great tune 80s superb decade here's to your uncle ❤
So sorry for your loss, may this song bring back good memories
This song deserves more recognition & credit to what it has.
80s music just touches the heart and soul. I love all 80s music ❤
Me too ❤love 80s
Music was laid to rest 20 years ago.
I absolutely love this song even after all these years,I'm 60 and there will never again be a decade like the 80s. Brings back so many awesome memories. 😊😊🖤
Im Love The Music 1980
The best music and times
We had the best music ever. 70s & 80s will never be matched. We had it all.
Coming back from war to discover all is lost is not having it all.

One of the songs that defined the 80's
This song popped into my head the other day, out of the blue. When it came out, It struck me hard at the time, 12, clueless, and skipping along the pond of life. 39 years later, I'm blown away at how well produced, arranged, and performed it is. The 80's just crushed it, and I'm lucky to have been coming of age at the time. It sent me on an 80's journey of music.
I was 8 or 9 years old when this came out. The instant I hear the intro, I'm taken right back to 1984. What a great time! ❤
Yo tenía 11😢❤
So figure out to make a dent life for yourself. The Boomers were the first generation to hv a real childhood. Unfortunately most of us had disrespectful parents.

Absolutely very lutely

“A perfect World we’ll never find”, great lyric

The 80s were the best. Transition days, MTV, overdrive, one after the other. Never to be heard or felt again.
❤
Flicking through the radio stations while taking my son footie training, l happened upon this song and was instantly transported through a wormhole to my teens! Can't describe the emotions that suddenly came over me, and my pining for what were the best years of my life!
Doesn't this song make you feel so good inside and sad at the same time because you can't go back to the 80s?
Yes 🥰 😢 ma'am
it does, indeed.
Yep. Id like to go back😭💔👣🙏
Yeah 😢 The best time of my life ❤. Would love to go back.
Nope.
I was only 7 years old in 1.983, but I'll remember this people playing that on the TV. " HOLD ME NOW...". Amazing music. Greetings from BARCELONA.
"Let loving start and Stay with me" are just two legendary phrases. It makes me want to cry when I hear those two phrases.
This was the heartbeat of the 80's. It has "stayed with me" all this time. TT wrote songs that became a theme for the entire decade. I just heard one that made millions for Dr. Pepper in the same decade. Exquisite.
The mid-80's were my high school years. This song was always played at dances, and it brings back such fond memories of my late husband. 😊❤
So sorry for your loss, this was when music meant something. The Thompson Twins, Basia, et al so many great memories.
THE prom night song of the 80s
THE BAND RATT PUTS ME IN THE 80s REAL QUICK.
Popped collars on pastel polo shirts. 🤣
@@MikePenceFly oh yeah! I loved my pastel polos. 😊😊😚
Still listen to Hold Me Now even in 2024
Same
It's a timeless classic.
im here too 2024
The 80 were a blast all kinds of music 💪
Tony Hawk loves this song.
Great song cobra kai definitely give awesome 80's vibe 😅
Oh how I long for such fresh sounds and melodies in this grey era, October 2024. Nothing sounded quite like this, and then the next week another 80's band came up with something completely new, and thus it went on week after week, new new NEW. Creativity, where art thou now?
Mon, Dad ,Many Thanks for creating me! I was born in 1970, Yes!!! A teen in the 80's, just perfect!
Likewise ….born in 69’….London England 🏴
One of the best 80´s songs
It was good to go back to a time when we had real music to listen to. How much of the new noise will still be played in 30 years time ? But my money says you will still be able to listen to 60's 70's and 80's music
i want the 80's back...😢
Me too!!❤😂❤
And me ❤
Hey !!!!!?
I want the 70's back LMAO
I want it too back, the world and time
was so easy
Me too 😊
I'm watching this at 53 and despite the years, despite the pain, despite the neverending scramble of life I'm still that girl who listened to this song so long ago bopping out with her friends. I'm still f*cking ME!
Thanks Lord for giving me the 80s to live through, they were the theme to my youth, they still are, but remembered through misty tearful eyes, we were so happy then.
Well be HAPPY NOW ! times running out ! .
Tears of gratitude and joy roll down my face as I reflect on the great memories that are attached to this timeless song. I was 14 in 1984 and 53 today. Great times back then. Damn it was so freakin awesome to be a teen in the 80's.
The Wonder Years - what a great time to be alive!
Bring back the good old days.. 80s at its best
American culture peaked right about then.
You’re speaking gospel brother. Freshman year high school for me!!
You know I’m starting to like 80’s music
This is one of those 80s songs that your mom used to play when you were a kid, nonstop, took me until I hit my 30s to really appreciate and understand this song and it’s actually one of my favorites now. Love it
Better late than never?....
❤😊
Always loved this song verse after verse after verse..
@@geraldreid7122 for sure. One of my favorites to listen to.
Yup came out when I was 5 in primary 2 now mid 40’s ish……. Life is short
Im 50, in 1984 we drove from Portsmouth RI to Kings Dominion Va and we were listening to TT in the car and to our amazement, they were performing at the park when we arrived .. True Story ❤❤
Meant to be!
That's so cool! What an awesome memory to cherish!
@@hristoforlupescu8573 it was!!! My late mom played that cassette till it broke lol
Listening to this classic is like going back to that beautiful past of high school, parties, fashion, fleeting courtships, etc.
Love this song and video. English bands of the 80s were the ultimate.
They are always amazing, in the 60ties, 70ies, 80ies, 90ies until now to the 20ies.
Absolutely
Ultimate !!!!
Speaking as an Englishman (for indeed I am one), I don't think we should overlook the Celtic nations contribution to popular music during this period and beyond. When describing the incredible music and talent that has sprung forth from these islands, we should always use the term 'British.' Not a criticism, just an observation.
This song is an example of how with just a few notes but placed in the right place you can make a great song.
I have a sister. She took me to Purdue University. Clowes hall. Berlin opened. Before Take my Breath Away. It was just a bit lewd. Still I will never ever forget the BEST Twins EVER.
I am now in year 2024 n still listening to the 80s.
Me too!❤
@georgelee5820. Amazing, how did you get there 🙄
An absolute timeless classic
I lived through the 80s with my sisters. What a great time! Driving around town with the top down listening to great music. Both sisters are gone and I just lost my dad. Now, the music that I love, makes me cry. 😢
The 80s is the decade that I became a young adult. This was a good time to be, we had the best music to listen to. Will never forget the Thompson Twins.
Like yourself I was a young adult in this decade and as years gone by feel privileged to have experienced those times.
My youth, my innocence, and my love for life stuck with me.
These People's Are Everything...
Sharing their all for us. Oh Lord let me live the 1980's again.
Be Kind and Love Everyone People, this is our Destiny, our Purpose.
Good Boy
@StephenPaul-wg9mt
You are so right, and I couldn't have said it any better. I just wish we all could be kinder and more loving towards each other. But unfortunately, I don't see that happening anytime soon. But I'm still hoping for a miracle. Have a great day, and keep the good vibes going. 😊
How can you not love the Thompson Twins?!?
Her big giant hat bill is so out there! I remember watching this release on MTV, back when they were a thing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
i dont they are trashy music
The soulless do.
This song deserves 1m likes.
Hard to believe TT unleashed this wonder hit 4 decades ago. These British popsters told music fans to " Hold Me Now". Music fans still do even in this day and age!
Born in 84. By the time i hit primary school in 88 this was my favourite song thanks to my dad. Absolutely timeless.
This is a masterpiece, such an enjoyable song with great lyrics, rhythm, addicting instrumentation!!!
Hold me now
Excellent song after all this years ❤😂
Ahh 84...The days of being in junior school and not a care in the world...simpler, happier times....
I’m immediately transported to the back seat of my dad’s Camaro. Love this song.
The 80's music was fab-u-lus there will never be any music again to compare with the fabulous recordings of one single hit after the other. They were all BOSS. Loved those 80's smokin hits. Miss the real 🎵 hits!
There will never be a time in music like the 80"s!!!!
We loved the Thompson Twins back then! 5/8/2024
The medley is my favorite part
I was 20 when this came out, thinking the future would be so brilliant. The lyrics have become more meaningful every passing year.
Long live the 80' S music it will outlive them all! The 80's were the best 10 years on earth!!
Someone just drove by my crib with this on. Loved their music in the 80s and still today ❤❤❤
