I'm 26 and i love to be discovering this band more and more. I'm a fan since i was 24, but only now im taking my time to find this delicious b sides and rarities. I envy those who had the chance to collect this vinyls in the 80's. Nowadays all people listen is rubbish from tik tok.
Yo creo que hay más bandas en cualquier garito, hotel, al aire libre sobre todo en zonas de costa con directos acojonantes que la GRAN mayoría de lo que se ve por las redes de marras
Im a big fans of Prefab Sprout sjnce 1985 , new song for me ! ! I LOVE IT . The keyboard and Bass are Great and all the band did a great job ,as usual , thanks Paddy 😍 .
"The sound of crying is #1 across the world" is hilarious and brilliant in light of the 80s trend of making songs like "Do They Know It's Christmastime," but also just an absolute gut-punch. Absolutely one of their best songs. Paddy is on another level here. "Who am I to tell you how to run your business/ when you can strike me blind??"
Yes ,ADMIRAL JONK ,alas Paddy or even WENDY is on another level or interest in life ,today but All of their BEAUTIFUL SONGS remain for us ,it' s the WONDERFUL GIFT they left us ,FOREVER...There are GROUPS like that which are MAGIC and the passage of Time has no effect on their existence even if they no longer exist because they are separated or for any other reason But one fact remains, the GREAT QUALITY of the SONGS, MUSIC, the TALENT of the Performers and the RARITY of what is offered, absolutely nothing to do with all the flood of what we are thrown on the Airwaves, TODAY and it is an ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE that they are ignored by the current generation only by ignorance of these talents which are only known to the previous generation, at a time when Social Networks did not exist and which do not appear on the programming of the charts or emissions intended for the musical Media current.

I'm a music archivist. I collect music from all around the world, spanning a number of different genres, and with all the wonderful sounds I treat myself to, I must say... Prefab Sprout is among the most beautiful music I've ever heard. 🎶🔥

Ticks every box..those charming sharp chord changes , that bass sound, sensual soundscape, stunning recording..Superb lyrics.. A sanctifying Hymm... So So good..
Cada vez que escucho esta canción, no me cabe la menor duda,Paddy Macloon,no es de este planeta y Wendy Smith,es de algún rincón de Andromeda, y "los sonidos del llanto", es una obra poética-musical,llegada de alguna galaxia lejana....
Fue su primer nro 1 en Reino Unido en el ya lejano 1992...y sigue tan vigente ayer como hoy. Tiene una mezcla de sonido y ritmo enigmatico y adictivo a la vez. Es muy hermosa. Paddy un genio, Wendy bella poniendole su voz y su inconfundible encanto femenino a Prefab Sprout. A pesar de ello la prensa britanica fue siempre muy dura con ella, casi al nivel de la crueldad. Siempre dejandola como la rubia tonta del grupo. Y lo cierto es que Wendy evoluciono desde los coros y al final tocaba varios instrumentos como teclados y segunda guitarra. En Golden Calf, Wendy se luce con la guitarra o en Scarlet Nights hace un estribillo sola. Hoy es productora de artistas y cumplio el sueño x el que dejo el grupo siendo madre de dos jovenes x estos dias ya.
I've been listening to these guys since the singles "Faron", "When Love Breaks Down" and "Appetite" and the LP "Steve McQueen". This song is badass to this day.
Completamente de acuerdo, y con una cuidadísima produccción, preciosista, limpia, difícil de reproducir en directo. No sé que opinaran quienes tuvieron la oportunidad de escucharlos en vivo. Me encantaría leer al respecto
I don't get why more folks aren't hip to Paddy. The guy writes some incredible lyrics. That new one "America" has me grasping for superlatives again. Just put your songs out there, Mr. MacAloon. Your fans will find them, and we'll find a way to let you know we're grateful.

I was never huge on this genre in the 80's but why is it I never heard of these guys until 2023? They were good enough to where even if you don't like the genre you should've heard about these cats. I mean, I know a lot about music ..... heavy metal, rock, jam, jazz, rap, country, alternative -- you name it -- but I never heard a thing about Prefab Sprout. Bad promoters or did they just not catch on? I see there are some followers/big fans though looking at the comments and the likes. .
I' m in this case ,too ,David Mitchell and as a lot of PREFAB SPROUT' s Fan ,all around the World .There are GROUPS like that which are MAGIC and the passage of Time has no effect on their existence even if they no longer exist because they are separated or for any other reason But one fact remains, the GREAT QUALITY of the SONGS, MUSIC, the TALENT of the Performers and the RARITY of what is offered, absolutely nothing to do with all the flood of what we are thrown on the Airwaves, TODAY and it is an ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE that they are ignored by the current generation only by ignorance of these talents which are only known to the previous generation, at a time when Social Networks did not exist and which do not appear on the programming of the charts or emissions intended for the musical Media current.

Absolutely beautiful song, it makes me really cry. Lots of memories. Paddy is really genial music/songwriter, so great that he chose music before being a priest when he was young.

😢Everytime i hear a song from this band, my heart jumps and feel like i want to cry because they remind me of a time in my life when my family unit was the closest and strongest and my friends that's no longer on this earth played such a huge part in my life too. I miss you mom💔
Sooner or later people will realise! We are living in a shitty time right now. I do wonder if we will return to the times of the 80s and 90s? (Recreated of course)

"Well who am I to tell you how to run your business Man, you could strike me blind What kind of noise we gotta make down here Before we destroy your peace of mind" -- Still gives me goose bumps today, after so many years of loving this song!
One of my favorite Prefab Sprout performances. Wonderful melody and thoughtful lyrics ... Nice to hear something that makes you stand back and think for a couple of minutes.
Vous êtes un des plus grands mélodistes du 20eme et 21 eme siècle cher Paddy ! Fan depuis vos débuts (un musicien batteur-compositeur professionnel Français) .Superbe titre !
This song haunted me as I flew humanitarian aid around the places affected by the Boxing Day tsunami in December 2004. Reminds me of the appeal for anyone who had dirt strip flying experience and could fly aid around using all sorts of unprepared landing sites. I was given leave from my Carrier and spent two months in the Far East. If another baby in a failed uprising is a real bum note the Boxing Day tsunami was the whole damn orchestra getting it wrong. A most humbling experience.
They are known to those in the know, those who appreciate real music and craftsmanship but don't worry their music will long outlive what passes for music today, peace my friend.
Exquisite ...but then again I wouldn't expect any less from the majestic Prefab Sprout............they are way too clever, elegant and articulate to reach a wider audience ...................the sad truth is mediocrity and bad taste prevails in this awful world............god bless you, Paddy McAloon, wherever you are ............and thank you for making the world a better place through your art.........at least for some of us
Amen, their sound and lyrics were just for those who had ears to hear, we are the lucky ones and they did not produce any mediocre tracks, it was just expected brilliance every time and they still remain one of my favourite bands of my life!
Jeez, you have got it exactly right, i think that Prefab Sprout go over most people,s heads, Macaloon is such a brilliant songwriter, its almost as if he taps into something with his lyrics, there are just so many brilliant, fantastic, catchy songs, they will always be my favourite pop band.
This song I used to play when I was drunk all the time wow 3 years sober and it still hits me the same love this tune great and not so great memories one love xxx
Those who have shunned PREFAB SPROUT, once must regret especially when you see the level of quality displayed by the songs that go on the air today. Apart from a few rare pearls, we can say without a doubt that it is THE DAY and the NIGHT.These beautiful years are very far, alas.Fortunately, we will always remain their little musical jewels, for our total pleasure and also, always this taste of nostalgia of a past period infinitely rich and very pretty.

The most intelligent lyrics meet the most beautiful melodies.
Exactamente
Every song Prefab Sprout has released is beautiful. Paddy McAloon is one of the most gifted songwriters in the history of pop music.
Second only to McCartney in my view, and the latter only wins out on the basis of sheer volume.
The most underrated group on earth
Not a single doubt about it
I second that 1000 times over
I was just thinking about this.
Greatest
Paddy was an amazing writer
Prefab sprout
pure diamond
This group were very underrated. Shame all the radio stations seem to only play is the King of Rock and Roll.
Exactly, like appetite was just a fluke , very underrated band
Paddy Macloon is a brilliant songwriter, his songs are Beautiful, sensitive, & deep. They have always been one of my favourite bands.

Y además esta letra es completamente atemporal
This is what talent sounds like....
Exacto
I'm obsessed with this song, aside from the melody and the overall craft of the recording, the drum and bass sounds are out of this world.
Totally agree 👍
Producer Stephen Lipson on the song's production: ua-cam.com/video/QZPJ456FT4M/v-deo.html
@@MichaelRoss wow what is the chance of this? Uploaded hours ago and he talked exactly about this song. Thank you!
@@ebeyslough - Watching this following conversation with Stephen Lipson from earlier this year brought me here! 😀 I'd never heard this song before!
Yes the bass is amazing! Martin mcaloon was the shit

Im a big fans of Prefab Sprout sjnce 1985 , new song for me ! ! I LOVE IT . The keyboard and Bass are Great and all the band did a great job ,as usual , thanks Paddy 😍 .
"The sound of crying is #1 across the world" is hilarious and brilliant in light of the 80s trend of making songs like "Do They Know It's Christmastime," but also just an absolute gut-punch. Absolutely one of their best songs. Paddy is on another level here. "Who am I to tell you how to run your business/ when you can strike me blind??"
Lyrics to god
YES YES YES YES YES
Yes ,ADMIRAL JONK ,alas Paddy or even WENDY is on another level or interest in life ,today but All of their BEAUTIFUL SONGS remain for us ,it' s the WONDERFUL GIFT they left us ,FOREVER...There are GROUPS like that which are MAGIC and the passage of Time has no effect on their existence even if they no longer exist because they are separated or for any other reason But one fact remains, the GREAT QUALITY of the SONGS, MUSIC, the TALENT of the Performers and the RARITY of what is offered, absolutely nothing to do with all the flood of what we are thrown on the Airwaves, TODAY and it is an ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE that they are ignored by the current generation only by ignorance of these talents which are only known to the previous generation, at a time when Social Networks did not exist and which do not appear on the programming of the charts or emissions intended for the musical Media current. It's really terrible for all these RARE and TALENTED GROUPS. For us, it's a TOTAL HAPPINESS to listen to these INSPIRED MELODIOUS COMPOSITIONS and these CREATIVE VIDEOS which bring us back, the space of a song with a strong taste of regrets and nostalgia. When we admire WENDY, twirling, magnificent to the sound of the Melody and the superb voice of Paddy McAloon, we can only feel a strong attraction and a great admiration for their BRILLIANT COMPOSITIONS especially with hindsight when they are compared "necessarily" to everything that is produced musically today... What an immense Loss!
the irony...
Unreal how lingering Prefab's songs are; unbelievably catchy and hypnotic
I ' m totally agree with you ,Doughboy ...There are GROUPS like that which are MAGIC and the passage of Time has no effect on their existence even if they no longer exist because they are separated or for any other reason But one fact remains, the GREAT QUALITY of the SONGS, MUSIC, the TALENT of the Performers and the RARITY of what is offered, absolutely nothing to do with all the flood of what we are thrown on the Airwaves, TODAY and it is an ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE that they are ignored by the current generation only by ignorance of these talents which are only known to the previous generation, at a time when Social Networks did not exist and which do not appear on the programming of the charts or emissions intended for the musical Media current.

Yes, even Tin Can Pot too!
We will love Prefab Sprout, forever 🤍🕊️
Still brilliant
Esta cancion es demencial. El trabajo en el sonido es unico.....nada esta librado al azar.
The Shakespeare of Music
YOU ALRIGHT
Those sliding bass notes send shivers down my back.
To be honest, this whole damn song sends shivers down my back.
They are GREAT SINGERS and GREAT CREATIVE MUSICIANS ,too,Bill ,completely .There are GROUPS like that which are MAGIC and the passage of Time has no effect on their existence even if they no longer exist because they are separated or for any other reason But one fact remains, the GREAT QUALITY of the SONGS, MUSIC, the TALENT of the Performers and the RARITY of what is offered, absolutely nothing to do with all the flood of what we are thrown on the Airwaves, TODAY and it is an ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE that they are ignored by the current generation only by ignorance of these talents which are only known to the previous generation, at a time when Social Networks did not exist and which do not appear on the programming of the charts or emissions intended for the musical Media current.

One of the most thoughtful pop songs out there. Great tune too.
Listening today , I can easily see why they were my favourite band for many years !

Wow… these timeless lyrics pack a powerful punch!
Even looks Russian
Esta en concreto si, aunque luego tienen cosas como :cars and girls, hey manhattan, king of r & r y alguna más, que tela
Feeling down? Prefab Sprout gonna cheer ya up. I never get tired of their tunes. Marvelous songs.
Truth!!
I don't think Martin MacAloon gets 1/2 the credit he deserves for his Bass lines. They are such an integral pat of Prefab Sprout's sound.
Steve Lipson did this one :) ua-cam.com/video/QZPJ456FT4M/v-deo.html
... Only that he didn't play the bass in *this* song! It was Stephen Lipson, its producer 🙂
a Nobel Peace Prize for songwriting!
Totally agree

Paddy is definitely going to heaven.
I'm a music archivist. I collect music from all around the world, spanning a number of different genres, and with all the wonderful sounds I treat myself to, I must say...
Prefab Sprout is among the most beautiful music I've ever heard. 🎶🔥
2019 yet I'm still in love with PS tunes. 💘 😇

Ticks every box..those charming sharp chord changes , that bass sound, sensual soundscape, stunning recording..Superb lyrics.. A sanctifying Hymm... So So good..
I am just currently educating my Mrs and kids on the beautiful melodies of this band.. ❤️
Cada vez que escucho esta canción, no me cabe la menor duda,Paddy Macloon,no es de este planeta y Wendy Smith,es de algún rincón de Andromeda, y "los sonidos del llanto", es una obra poética-musical,llegada de alguna galaxia lejana....
Fue su primer nro 1 en Reino Unido en el ya lejano 1992...y sigue tan vigente ayer como hoy. Tiene una mezcla de sonido y ritmo enigmatico y adictivo a la vez. Es muy hermosa. Paddy un genio, Wendy bella poniendole su voz y su inconfundible encanto femenino a Prefab Sprout. A pesar de ello la prensa britanica fue siempre muy dura con ella, casi al nivel de la crueldad. Siempre dejandola como la rubia tonta del grupo. Y lo cierto es que Wendy evoluciono desde los coros y al final tocaba varios instrumentos como teclados y segunda guitarra. En Golden Calf, Wendy se luce con la guitarra o en Scarlet Nights hace un estribillo sola. Hoy es productora de artistas y cumplio el sueño x el que dejo el grupo siendo madre de dos jovenes x estos dias ya.
@@renatomartinez5708 Será 1992!

just finished hotel rwanda and it really makes me think about all the current refugees around the world being abandoned by the whole world
Sono meravigliosi e purtroppo non ci sono più musicisti così......
Miss these guys so much, we need you back please!
я только сегодня узнал про этот шедевр!!! спасибо ютуб!!!!😇🥰😍🤩❤💣👌🙏💪
one of the best songs of Prefab Sprout
I've been listening to these guys since the singles "Faron", "When Love Breaks Down" and "Appetite" and the LP "Steve McQueen". This song is badass to this day.
Beautiful lyrics, sophisticated, exquisite pop songs, has there ever been anything like this ?
Completamente de acuerdo, y con una cuidadísima produccción, preciosista, limpia, difícil de reproducir en directo. No sé que opinaran quienes tuvieron la oportunidad de escucharlos en vivo. Me encantaría leer al respecto
I don't get why more folks aren't hip to Paddy. The guy writes some incredible lyrics. That new one "America" has me grasping for superlatives again. Just put your songs out there, Mr. MacAloon. Your fans will find them, and we'll find a way to let you know we're grateful.
The best group on earth / Le meilleur groupe du Monde
This is the best song ever made ..the bass is beautiful..I've been listening to these for so many years...it never get old xxxxxxxxxxx 😚
Brilliant song,great band,wonderful lyrics and video.

I was never huge on this genre in the 80's but why is it I never heard of these guys until 2023? They were good enough to where even if you don't like the genre you should've heard about these cats. I mean, I know a lot about music ..... heavy metal, rock, jam, jazz, rap, country, alternative -- you name it -- but I never heard a thing about Prefab Sprout. Bad promoters or did they just not catch on? I see there are some followers/big fans though looking at the comments and the likes.
.
a great song l can listen to over and over again

Amazing song that is resonating big time during these COVID times. Love Paddy’s brain.
Beyond awesome - this deserves classic status - pure brilliance in every possible sense
Pop on its highest expression. Can anything be more beautiful ????????. Absolutely a diamond that will stand he pass of time forever !!!!!
Absolutely beautiful song, it makes me really cry. Lots of memories. Paddy is really genial music/songwriter, so great that he chose music before being a priest when he was young.
This should be the anthem for 2022.😭

Very apt even now in these sad times
Beautiful song
Simple, direct, and beautifully stated. Wonderful band with the immensely talented Paddy.
😢Everytime i hear a song from this band, my heart jumps and feel like i want to cry because they remind me of a time in my life when my family unit was the closest and strongest and my friends that's no longer on this earth played such a huge part in my life too. I miss you mom💔
This song is very apt for 2021 should be re-released and promoted.great song.
Sooner or later people will realise! We are living in a shitty time right now.
I do wonder if we will return to the times of the 80s and 90s? (Recreated of course)
agree

One of their very best, along with all the other very best ones, Paddy is a great song writer, this song though... How relevant to 2020/21.
it was my youth and I still listen to you
From morocco 👍✌
"Well who am I to tell you how to run your business
Man, you could strike me blind
What kind of noise we gotta make down here
Before we destroy your peace of mind"
-- Still gives me goose bumps today, after so many years of loving this song!
One of my favorite Prefab Sprout performances. Wonderful melody and thoughtful lyrics ... Nice to hear something that makes you stand back and think for a couple of minutes.
なんて心地よい旋律とボイス、 天才の名に相応しい一曲。
PREFAB SPROUT ¡¡¡ MUSICALMENTE PERFECTOS !!!
Vous êtes un des plus grands mélodistes du 20eme et 21 eme siècle cher Paddy ! Fan depuis vos débuts (un musicien batteur-compositeur professionnel Français) .Superbe titre !
Des titres d'un autre monde...
paddy ne pawle po caifwan keum-o putin!, tu pense quil pawle fwancais¡?? tssss. jen doute hein!!!!
Excellent song...great classic !!!
Best songwriter of his generation!
So beautiful and as true today as the day they were first sung.
Poignant and desperately sad.
Mamma mia che musica ancora oggi fantastici .... Mitici.
Such a talent. Honest, beautiful music.
Ce type est incroyable , c est toute ma vie qui est suspendue lorsque je l écoute Merci
bah nowmal, ces wosbifs vwaiment ont du talent kwa
Right to the heart, those beautiful lyrics paddy the genius,so beautiful,will always listen too this song ,so thanks paddy👏👌👐
Isn't that just the most perfect song and video ever produced
Fabulous song, near perfect lyrics and music
This song haunted me as I flew humanitarian aid around the places affected by the Boxing Day tsunami in December 2004. Reminds me of the appeal for anyone who had dirt strip flying experience and could fly aid around using all sorts of unprepared landing sites. I was given leave from my Carrier and spent two months in the Far East. If another baby in a failed uprising is a real bum note the Boxing Day tsunami was the whole damn orchestra getting it wrong. A most humbling experience.
Class. He writes some great songs.🎶🔊
it's amazing how all songs from this band are incredible, none of them bad]
7K VIEWS ONLY? WTF has happened to our fucking world and our music taste??? OMG......
This is a fucking masterpiece..
They are known to those in the know, those who appreciate real music and craftsmanship but don't worry their music will long outlive what passes for music today, peace my friend.
Indémodable .A conserver toute la vie et à réécouter le plus souvent possible.
This song has completely taken over my brain the past two weeks. The best!
Me está pasando lo mismo. Exactamente igual, pero llevaré unas tres semanas
What a great track and so relevant for what is going on in the world today.
Exquisite ...but then again I wouldn't expect any less from the majestic Prefab Sprout............they are way too clever, elegant and articulate to reach a wider audience ...................the sad truth is mediocrity and bad taste prevails in this awful world............god bless you, Paddy McAloon, wherever you are ............and thank you for making the world a better place through your art.........at least for some of us
Amen, their sound and lyrics were just for those who had ears to hear, we are the lucky ones and they did not produce any mediocre tracks, it was just expected brilliance every time and they still remain one of my favourite bands of my life!
@@brandon2912t Ditto dear Angela, I couldn't agree more, the majesty of their music shall prevail for ever and ever ......Amen
Jeez, you have got it exactly right, i think that Prefab Sprout go over most people,s heads, Macaloon is such a brilliant songwriter, its almost as if he taps into something with his lyrics, there are just so many brilliant, fantastic, catchy songs, they will always be my favourite pop band.
@@francishughes2016 thank you indeed dear……. They are very special, and so is Paddy who has gifted us with his sublime compositions ❤️
My all time favourite group,,
Toujours un plaisir d ecouter cet excellent groupe.... 😎😎😎
Sublime song from a master craftsman
This song I used to play when I was drunk all the time wow 3 years sober and it still hits me the same love this tune great and not so great memories one love xxx
Que temazo por favor...excelente..!!!
A peak into the future by the best of pop song writers? Genius
Absolutely genius. Master-crafted
What a remarkble song!! It´s a masterpiece!!!!!!!
masterpiece..I miss this kind of great music!!
Those who have shunned PREFAB SPROUT, once must regret especially when you see the level of quality displayed by the songs that go on the air today. Apart from a few rare pearls, we can say without a doubt that it is THE DAY and the NIGHT.These beautiful years are very far, alas.Fortunately, we will always remain their little musical jewels, for our total pleasure and also, always this taste of nostalgia of a past period infinitely rich and very pretty.
sublime tema,estos amigos saben lo que hacen y lo hacen muy bien,no me canso de escuchar esta cancion,de las mejores de prefab sprout
Cuando eras un pendejo y escuchabas buena mùsica pop
Una de las mejores bandas inglesas.
Quizás si hubieran sido más famosos no nos gustarían tanto.
Solo música para oídos expertos... Vigentes aun en 2020 para mi....

When we admire WENDY, twirling, magnificent to the sound of the Melody and the superb voice of Paddy McAloon, we can only feel a strong attraction and a great admiration for their BRILLIANT COMPOSITIONS especially with hindsight when they are compared "necessarily" to everything that is produced musically today... What an immense Loss!
GREAT and MAGIC! the song and the music are PERFECT. Nothing more to add.
Que hermosa canción! Muchos recuerdos de aquellos tiempos...
There are GROUPS like that which are MAGIC and the passage of Time has no effect on their existence even if they no longer exist because they are separated or for any other reason But one fact remains, the GREAT QUALITY of the SONGS, MUSIC, the TALENT of the Performers and the RARITY of what is offered, absolutely nothing to do with all the flood of what we are thrown on the Airwaves, TODAY and it is an ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE that they are ignored by the current generation only by ignorance of these talents which are only known to the previous generation, at a time when Social Networks did not exist and which do not appear on the programming of the charts or emissions intended for the musical Media current.
