There is no comparison, whoever wrote this song is a musical genius. This song got me through my teenage years . 52 and older, still the same ..❤️😍😘😻 OMG
One of my favorite songs as a youngster. Loved to put the cassette in my Walkman and run as hard as I could -- feeling like I could soar. So happy to hear this again. Think I still have the tape somewhere.... don't think I have a tape player, but I will look for a digital source... I must run to this again.
I remember after hearing this, & The Great Commandment, I chased all over to find a cassette of Camouflage. The "hunt" practically took over my life!! Ahhh, the '80s. . .I miss them when I hear these classic New Wave fab songs
Just heard this for the first time this morning at work. It was on First Wave, XM Radio. Incredible. I only knew them from their song, "The Great Commandment" .
Camouflage, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, A-ha, Tears For Fears, New Order, INXS, Assemblage 23, Analog Angel, Elektrolust, Bad Boys Blue, Duran Duran etc. are my favourite bands with male vocals
You got great taste. Just discovered this band. I'm a big fan of Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, New Order, Yazoo, Joy Division among others. Any songs you recommend from Assemblage 23, Analog Angel, and Elektrolust? Haven't heard of them.
Thank you. This song has has a special meaning for me. I tried to make it with images that reflect my interpretation of what the song conveys. Im glad you enjoyed it.
Never heard this song until today. What a song takes me right back to my youth in the 80s. Cracking voice. Like the keyboard in this as well. Im a guitarist but id love to be able to play this on a keyboard or piano. Thanks for posting.
I stumbled across this song via Napster way, way back in 2000 and it was exactly the type of sound that I craved having endured the mediocrity of the 90s. As soon as I found a copy of Voices & Images in Toronto a few months later it was mine and has always remained within reach after many other cds got packed away in boxes. Absolutely superb!
THANK YOU... this song holds a very deep emotional meaning too me from my days back in the 80's.. When me and my counterpart would travel the old backdoors between East/West.. The Adventures, the Laughter and being taught by a fine lady, how to overcome all adversity.. too laugh... too incorporate it into my life as experience... to LIVE LIFE..
UN HIMNO A LA MUSICA.. SIMPLEMENTE GENIAL.. DESDE MUY JOVEN SIGO ESTE INCREIBLE TEMA... OVBIO Q LO USE MUCHAS VECES CUANDO ERA DJ.. HOY CON 56.. ME SIGUE CAUTIVANDO!!!!
J'adore cette chanson. Elle me replonge dans mes années d'adolescences. Rien que de l'écouter,je repense à ces années heureuses, insouciante. Il y a des groupes,comme ca, qui, d'un coup vous redonne la pêche. Les années bonheur. Merci youtube.
They are great. Excellent English pronunciation, too. Would never guess they are German except for the cool factor. I wish every band and all music sounded this much like Depeche Mode. I'd be a happy girl.
Within the last 24 hours this song has become one of my most favorite. I'm huge with Depeche Mode, the Cure, the Smiths, and so many other groups. I honestly love this song so freaking much. It hits home with my behavior and personality.
This song haunted me for so very long. A fell in love with this beautiful girl when I first heard this song at #’s in Houston 30+ years ago. I’m finally with her.
wenn ich dieses Lied höre.......ich war in meiner Ausbildung.....mein erstes Auto.....Landstrasse.....Mucke voll aufgedreht.....boah ☺...das waren noch Zeiten^^
Ditto. I was cleaning out a box from a move done 20+ years ago and just squirreled away in my attic. The CD was in the box. Blew my mind when I popped it in my car. Love ... This Smiling Face ...
Joel De Jesus you can still listen to this as well as other synthpop, electropop, shoegaze, alternative, indi etc. online specifically radio synthpop you can listen in the tunein application.
HydraLine Thank you. Interesting comment. And I wrote that this is one of the BEST compositions from the Germans CAMOUFLAGE and the whole SYNTHPOP style ... Greetings from Kiev (Ukraine) !!! music lover master DM 🤗😎🤔
I had this damn cd and lent it to a friend.....I never got it back! 😢 It was given to me because of this song by a very special friend for my birthday. That was sentimental value to me.
Забавная это штука - интернет... Канал брошен уже шесть лет. Что стало с создателем - не известно. Кто ему эта девушка и что теперь с ней - загадка. А люди идут и идут во след за музыкой 1988-го года выпуска.
A classic synthpop song from a classic debut. In my opinion Camouflage and Depeche Mode are both great bands to an extend Depeche Mode is more influential and popular.
The insecurity of ..... love. Perfectly described. and the tune fits perfectly with it. Love..... the most beautiful thing existing.... But the most risky and painful thing in the same time... Oh man, what a beautiful song......
I bought this in 1989 and it stayed in my tape player for 6 months. Only to be briefly switched out for A-ha Scoundrel Days then back in. Great song great album.
Regarding the remixes and other versions, here is the release info: That Smiling Face is the fourth single by German synthpop group Camouflage, released exclusively in the US during the fall of 1988.

I'm glad this song in on UA-cam, I really am. The problem is mp3 files don't translate these songs correctly. I have this on vinyl. Missing in this recording is the rich synthesizers that really bring on the emotion. It's a beautiful song, but this recording is missing so much that I can hardly take it seriously. It's just not there.
There are some songs that never leave you. This is one for me.
Right?! This song still plays in my head, prominently, after all these years!
Yor`re so right !!
same here 🙌🏽🔊🎶
52 and I still play this song over and over
48 I still like listen this band🤔
me too
Me too !
55 and still listening in 2024 !
♥️🎶🔊🙏🏽
There is no comparison, whoever wrote this song is a musical genius. This song got me through my teenage years . 52 and older, still the same ..❤️😍😘😻 OMG
A musical genius!!!!
ofc the vocalist Marcus Meyn himself has written it
❤
❤❤, reminiscing the German years...
I just heard this song for the first time a few days ago. As a huge Gary Numan fan, where has this been all of my life? This is brilliant!
Gary Numan rules!
The all album is brilliant
I just heard it for the first time last week and I'm in my late 40's.
Voices and Images. What a great album.
It's the Spring of September 2021, this song is still up there amongst the best. Well done Camouflage
It's Friday January 28th I just got Done listening to that 5 times in a row. I love everything about this song.

I had the cassette of this album...amazing...still listen to them...

It’s like hearing Carmen by Anything Box after only having heard Living in Oblivion

Thank you. This song has has a special meaning for me. I tried to make it with images that reflect my interpretation of what the song conveys. Im glad you enjoyed it.

This song is so beautiful and timeless. I can imagine someone discovering this 500 years from now and immediately begin dancing!

Po prostu muzyka, słowa, głos które łagodnie płyną do romantycznego serca! Kto prawdziwie kocha ten płacze przy tej piosence. Ze szczęścia.
Ja mam zawsze łzy w oczach słuchając "Where Has The Childhood Gone". Serdecznie pozdrawiam 😃
I hope Russia wins.
One of the best songs ever!!
One of my favorite songs by the band 🥰💜
UN HIMNO A LA MUSICA.. SIMPLEMENTE GENIAL.. DESDE MUY JOVEN SIGO ESTE INCREIBLE TEMA... OVBIO Q LO USE MUCHAS VECES CUANDO ERA DJ.. HOY CON 56.. ME SIGUE CAUTIVANDO!!!!
This sure is a very beautiful song from a very GREAT band❣️🎹🎹🎹🎼💫♥️💋
Музыка кайф, слушал ее в 1990 !!! Спасибо!!! Ностальгия по тому времени!!!!
И я... На кассетниках ещё... :) С ума сойти....
I remember listening this song with my Sony Walkman all night long during a coach trip to Marmaris in 1988
The World Was Yours, Wasn't It!? I Knew The Feeling...
J'adore cette chanson.
Elle me replonge dans mes années d'adolescences. Rien que de l'écouter,je repense à ces années heureuses, insouciante.
Il y a des groupes,comme ca, qui, d'un coup vous redonne la pêche.
Les années bonheur.
Merci youtube.
Отличная музыка. Заслушаешся. Нет слов. Здорово
what can one say with this music? an absolute flight into precious memories!
What a great song..👍💚❤️, Camouflage great quality music from Bietigheim/Biss..Schwaben, 😊
Haven't heard this in years! I'm so happy to stumble on this again 💖 Happy 2023
I can't remember when I listened this song for the very first time, but since I did, it keeps being one of my favourites.
Thank you A, the German Depesh Mode. VERY DARK got to love this!
I really admire this beautiful woman in the video shots, she takes my breath away...
Her Name is Maria Valverde
One of the greatest songs ever to come out of Germany!!
They are great. Excellent English pronunciation, too. Would never guess they are German except for the cool factor. I wish every band and all music sounded this much like Depeche Mode. I'd be a happy girl.
Greetings from cucuta-colombia enjoying this beautiful music through years .. stop comparing this band and dm both bands are amazing ❤️
Within the last 24 hours this song has become one of my most favorite. I'm huge with Depeche Mode, the Cure, the Smiths, and so many other groups. I honestly love this song so freaking much. It hits home with my behavior and personality.
MASTERPIECE ....CON LA HERMOSA ACTRIZ ESPAÑOLA MARIA VALVERDE....

Просто конфетка,а не песня. Не знала эту группу. Хорошая
When this album came into my hands 30 or 31 years ago, this song blew my mind.
Ditto. I was cleaning out a box from a move done 20+ years ago and just squirreled away in my attic. The CD was in the box. Blew my mind when I popped it in my car. Love ... This Smiling Face ...
Same here i still get chills
Mine too
It blew the whole time when i listen to it. Awsom
A minde blower
I remember hearing this song around 1989 back when ny radio stations use to play good music my favorite radio station to listen to was wdre 92.3 fm
TBH: Radio Stations never played this song back then.
Joel De Jesus you can still listen to this as well as other synthpop, electropop, shoegaze, alternative, indi etc. online specifically radio synthpop you can listen in the tunein application.
Sirius Darkwave brought me here. Heard this song once and wanted to hear it again. Very cool song.
... одна из ЛУЧШИХ композиций не только у Camouflage, но и всего стиля synthpop ... 😎🤗🤔
меломан master DM
Костик Майстренко I cant understand most of what you wrote... but you mentioned Synthpop and DM (= Depeche Mode) so I agree with you! 😂
HydraLine Thank you.
Interesting comment.
And I wrote that this is one of the BEST compositions from the Germans CAMOUFLAGE and the whole SYNTHPOP style ...
Greetings from Kiev (Ukraine) !!!
music lover master DM 🤗😎🤔
лучшая !
Increible banda.Escuchando en Octubre 2021.
One of tops of Camouflage. Similar sound of Depeche Mode. Amazing song. Thanks
Tambien lo veo asi
This is making me cry for some reason
Simplemente hermosa letra ! Hermosos sonidos!! Está en mí,.. sincesar ..! No se ha detenido en estos 30 años y así seguirá ...
Awesome tune!! Great girl!!
I had this damn cd and lent it to a friend.....I never got it back! 😢 It was given to me because of this song by a very special friend for my birthday. That was sentimental value to me.
Take action, make another one and send a copy to that friend.
Really nice. Sounds great too. Thanks for sharing
John Weinberger Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!

Impresionante tema .. no dejo de escucharla ... Lo mejor de los 90.. desde argentina saludos
Спасибо,что вы за сделали!!!Сейчас очень мало качественной музыки!Я преклоняюсь,я из России,Вас здесь очень любят!

Me arrepio ao ouvir essa musica❤❤.. linda demais..toda..vocal..produção..instrumental..introdução..fantástica
Lindaaaa. Amo. Que voz! Beautiful. I loooove it. What a precious voice!
One of my all-time favorite songs then nobody's ever heard
A classic synthpop song from a classic debut. In my opinion Camouflage and Depeche Mode are both great bands to an extend Depeche Mode is more influential and popular.
Depeche Mode have gone 1000 light miles away from these Comuflage since their second album
Still have it on my play list in 2021
My 15yr old self thanks you for this :)
Epectacular.temazo❤
One of their best. 🎹🇮🇹🎹
Mi musica preferida ! Que ritmo !
Bravo !!!

Какая удивительная музыка, цепляет за душу! Camouflage, всех благ Вам
Camouflage great band. My brother turned them on to me when he was stationed in Swinefurt.
Found it!!! I’ve been searching forever for this song
if you are listening to this in 2020,you are living legend.
i agree to that
Oczywiście, mam ich 2 płyty CD.

Amazing song...can't believe I hadn't heard it before. Sounds very Depeche Mode-esque...Bravo!!!!

The insecurity of ..... love.
Perfectly described. and the tune fits perfectly with it.
