I still have this on vinyl, and still plays beautifully, 1984 was my favourite year ever my first love, college days and only worrying about what to wear on a night out, loads of clubs and pubs in our little town, all gone now and simpler times, parents and grandparents still alive, God how I miss the 80’s 😢
40 year's on and still as an iconic song from a fantastic band. A tune that will evoke many happy memories in so many people. All the best to CC fan's all over the world xxx
This is how it was done in the 1980’s the utterly fantastic China Crisis no autocue or other devices to make you sound good just pure raw talent from a fantastic decade of music. I’m now 67 and still love this era when I was a younger man and life was a thing to be lived and enjoyed . . . wow great times and great music.
One of my most beautiful and favorite songs .. I don't know how to explain but there are songs that have no time and will always sound fresh and pleasant
I was 17 when this AWESOME track come out...its the only song I want playing 3 times at my funeral when it arrives ❤😊.... LOVE IT... And LOVE China Crisis ❤😊
Met them when I was 15, supported an act (can't remember who) local to me. Lovely scouse guys who hilariously struggled to say my name..."Biv?" and gave me their backstage pass as a souvenir even though I didn't ask for it.
The 80’s Music will always rank as the most Awesome, That was TRUTHFULLY the final decade of Talent, creative rhythm, decent respectable decorum & full of the fondest memories! Even our Parents have our playlists on their devices 🥰 So Proud of our 80’s Generation 👍🏼
Definitely one of the more timeless 80s classics, there are some new wave tunes that sound immediately 80s, be it an aggressively synthy sound, crazy sounding guitar work, reverb on everything etc. This though, with its simple drum beats, simple stringy synth sound, simple everything really, could easily be made today and still sound pretty neat. China Crisis are so underrated it hurts, they should be as widely held up a Liverpool band as The Beatles as far as I care! More than any other band in the genre, this is just…sweet and delightful new wave…and that’s a sweet spot for me.
front row at the Dublin gig tonight, when Ed sang this the place went wild with emotion. This was our slow set anthem. Brilliant gig, great night, Thanks guys for a fantastic trip down memory lane.
Cue the inevitable, corny ‘there’s still good music. You just have look for it’. Yeah, thing was back in the day you didn’t have to look. It was everywhere!
Esta cancion debiera tener mil millones de visitas .....es una joya de la musica ...por lo visto cada vez somos menos los que amamos la musica hecha con el corazon y no la de plastico
Este buen grupo britanico pertenecio al llamado movimiento new age indie o simplemente musica indie, que se caracterizo por hacer composiciones de alta calidad muy aclamados por la critica pero que lamentablemente no lograron el exito comercial que debian. Sin embargo la gran calidad de su trabajo ha ido siendo reconocido a traves de los años y hoy mas de 30 años despues han salido covers de sus temas. China Crisis, junto a Prefab Sprout y Deacon Blue son la trilogia por exelencia de el movimiento indie donde ademas hay otras bandas como Aztec Camera, The Smith, Fiction Factory, The Kane Gang, por nombrar los que ahora recuerdo. Hace poco Netflix en una serie incluyo uná cancion de China Crisis y mucha gente joven se intereso en ellos. En los Simpson, en el capitulo donde Bart se enamora, cuando termina el mismo y dan los creditos suena de fondo un cover de I'll never fall in love again de Deacon Blue. La cantante Cher reversiono el tema The Gunman de Prefab Sprout. La cancion When love breaks down tambien de los Sprout ha sido profusamente reversionada por Snow Patrol, The Zombies, E'voke, Kate Walsh, Lisa Standfield, etc, etc. En fin el tiempo ha ido haciendo justicia con estos excelentes musico britanicos de los 80s. Saludos desde Chile.
Their harmonies garry and eddie together pure bliss have a lot of time for this band like much only christian tops this a much under rated band and their material talent for sure.
I Remember ,when they came & played in my local bar !..Under the name of Kirk Douglas & the long coats ..What an amazing night we all had …🙏🏻🍻 what a great band
The peace and joy that radiates out from this song is incredible. Soothes the soul. Utterly beautiful.
I totally agree
Great tune❤

One of the best songs of the 80's, so relaxing and melodic. I'm glad i have experienced that 80's time!
I have seen them live 3 times this year - amazing!! Just like the 80’s but even better
It was a great time to be young.
@@rw8733 me too i was born in 1987 made that time lately 🧸🛋📺🙏🕊🪽🦸🏾♂️🤷🌍❤️?😿?

80's music, especially UK new waves were the best and coolest, it always got that romantic sound & feel. Truly the peak era of UK artists.
Timeless. 100yrs from now some kid will feel the goosebumps...

Awful song. Seen them once that was enough. Never again
@@HaroldSeddon-g9u
You've told us already....
Don't listen to it then...
Underated band. Pure class.
Du lourd très lourd puissant chefs d'œuvre absolu immense du grand art 👍🌹🇨🇵 London ❤ c'est pas la nullité d'aujourd'hui qui pue grave 👎👎👎. Dany 53 ans
Another great Band from Liverpool
1984 was a great year for pop music its been mainly downhill since then sadly
Such a mature song for a few lads from Liverpool. Brilliant.
Superb 80s Song x The Best Times Ever ❤
Cómo se puede crear una canción con tan bella melodía, la voz, al escucharla te estremeces !!!🥲
So underrated. Just awesome band. I miss their music.
They still tour every year. I haven't missed one for years, Still sounding great. Quality does not fade.
@@johnmcalindon523 apparently touring in Ireland with Paul Young, next year. Just saw an advert.
Sheer class.
Seen them 3 times this year - the 40th anniversary tour simply amazing , and so humble
Sheer crap. Seen these years ago. Never again
This song gets better with age. I’ve been listening to this for 40 years, and every time it feels like 1984 again. Would love to see them live ❤
🥰👌
If you get the chance to see them live Go they're Awesome 😊
Loved China Crisis beautiful song
Nostálgica,melódica,atemporal y absolutamente Romántica y envolvente...Maravillosa obra Musical.
A stunning song that is so melancholic. One of my favourite songs of the 80's Reminds me of when I was 15 and in love :-)
Totally, me too
🎉me too😂hehe ❤. 😅
Same here, 23 and in love❤️
just young lads enjoying their talents and life.... great days.... great song... classic
Breathtakingly Beautiful
Brilliant song. I was 16 when this came out and brings back a lot of happy memories.
Bring back the old days ?
I was 16 in 85...wish i could go back.
Take me back too unless there's anywhere else that was as good as England in the 80's. I doubt it. What a time to be young!
Met them when I was 15, supported an act (can't remember who) local to me. Lovely scouse guys who hilariously struggled to say my name..."Biv?" and gave me their backstage pass as a souvenir even though I didn't ask for it.
I love this song "I sat on the roof, and watch the day go by"
same here...
Always expect him to say 'And kicked off the moss'.
Me to as well
Bought the single 39 years before seeing them live for the first time....worth the wait.
Two lads who's families from the Scotland Road, therefore Irish descent, shines through in their melodies.

I LOVE THIS SONG IT BRINGS ME BACK TO THE 80S I WAS IN MY EARLY 20S TOM ❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of Liverpool’s unsung finest - still listening in 2024
Yes I’m from Manchester and love these
Oh GoDD What a wonderful piece of music even after 40 years.
you cannot beat the 80s some great songs not like the rubbish they produce today
Not a piece of auto tune in sight and no robotic vocals. Not like half of todays chart stuff.
That‘s what my parents said to me in the 80s.
Cue the inevitable, corny ‘there’s still good music. You just have look for it’. Yeah, thing was back in the day you didn’t have to look. It was everywhere!
Everything has regressed except for information technology which has accelerated the regression.
I’ve been listening to this song for the past couple of decades, love it.
One of the best songs of ten 80’s, so relaxing and melodic. I am glad got the chance to experience that 80’s time
Such a beautiful song!
