My brother's fave song from the 80s. He passed on 2 years ago. If I close my eyes, I can still see him dancing to this. 😥
Beautiful memories never let them go x
I’m so sorry ❤😢
So much beautiful words ❤
God Bless Him...We'll all be dancing again with him one day
🥲
Great song ...takes me back to such happier times 💗....when mum and dad were still with us and we all knew how to have fun 💜
I remember, when one of my classmates borrowed me the CD "Flaunted Imperfection".Man I loved their New Wave sound flavored with some jazzy hooks embedded in a certain melancholy.
Yes. I miss mum and dad terribly.❤
1984! A simple life - nothing complicated!
My mother used to sing this making tea great times ,,😢
same here far better times god bless mum and dad
No can replace new wave 80s and 90s song in my heart.❤❤❤
Timeless classic song
New Wave has grown old ...
but this gem sounds as good today as it did in 1984!
Great performance guys!
I've been listening this song since I was 16 and not at 56, still timeless and beautiful to enjoy.
Beautiful song.
It definitely is and so good to hear it live. Can we just go back to the 80's life was so much simpler then.
New wave on 80's, time flies so fast,just like yesterday
One of my favourite ever songs, truly a masterpiece ❤😊❤
ONE OF MY FAVE SONG IN MY YOUNGER DAYS 😅!!

My childhood in a song. Fell asleep to this many a night.
🥹Thank You😍😘🥰Why I Suddenly Became So Emotional Hearing My 80’s Songs.
You're not alone. 😊 Those 80s songs brought back bittersweet memories of yesteryears. ❤️😊👏 I love them anyway. 😮❤
Love these song, bring me back to my happiest youngerdays
This is just brilliant. China Crisis is one of my favourite bands, along with Prefab Sprout, Aztec Camera, Hothouse Flowers, and Fra Lippo Lippi
I love This group and his songs Best wishes from Brazil guys
"I sat on the roof... and watched the day go by. I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands -- makes it all worthwhile."
Evocative lyrics, eternally beautiful song. 💙
1983 . 20! years old. Loved the song then and now. Life was in front of me. And now. All too easy to look back. Always look forward!
Same…and same🙌
I like what you say helen we all should look back in our happy times memorys try be happy this song makes happy ❤
I sat on the roof, and watched the day go by , wonderful
I❤80s music!!!
Never stop singing this song.
1983 - a great year...-with this great song
Wonderful song❤
A stunningly beautiful & timeless song but sadly the voices have long gone. Thanks for the memories.👍
Saw them last week. Voices are in good shape… I would say a bad cold / throat on this occasion
My all time favourite song, nice cover version
Did you say a cover version 🤔
I just discovered this gem of a song! I lived through the 80’s never heard this in Australia!
THIS IS A VERY FAMOUS SONG IN SRI LANKA WHERE ENGLISH IS THE SECOND LANGUAGE. SOUL ASYLUM.... TRY LISTENING TO PROMISES BROKEN....
They don’t make pop songs like this anymore 😢
And also mainstream isn't like this anymore. BTW don't be sad anymore. UA-camr is our time machine. I do agree tho. I also hate today's crap.
P.S. The glory years of mainstream music of all genres (rap included) are from January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1970 to December 31, 2003. January 1, 2004 - present mainstream music is trash. Heck, even '50s and '60s music is also better than today's crap. Again, I agree with your comment.
Thanks, girl. Retro 4 life, girl.
#RETRO4LIFE
So true😢😢
@@maussie76 You spelled true wrong.
Mainstream sure isn't what it used to be. Everything is trash now. I'm glad I grew up listening to real tunes back in the day....
Indeed it is. Mainstream is garbage now. I'm glad I grew up with retro music of all genres - rap included - back in the day.
Thank you for your service. Nice vid.
Just beautiful to hear these eighties songs again seemed a more peaceful time !
What a great gentle band! Brilliant music from a great band and a great time in my life...
Brilliant version of this true classic song in such a beautiful setting
Love love love it. And what a performance. They looked like they were having so much fun. Soundtrack to our teenage years x
You sing from your soul which makes all your songs beautiful😊
Never fades i love this song very much reminds me of my younger years
When music was at its best so miss the 80s. Hopefully one day I could go back and stay there forever 🙏
UA-cam is our time machine. Mainstream sucks now. I agree.
That’s why most of us are here… wishful thinking.
@@EdBMetal Yes.
Sat on the roof.... Watch the day go by .. good time
Simply amazing. I love the analogues.
One of my best new wave favorite song❤

Quality..these boys are the nuts ❤
Absolute legends from my youth in the 1980’s and sounding as good today as they did back in the day.
Sooo beautiful ❤❤❤
Wonderful simply wonderful👍
After more than 40 years, their music remains great, though their voices here sound like what we all are now - old and tired.
Yes, time robs us of our youth, but that shouldn't stop us from feeling happy for all these great music that colored the most fabulous decade ever of our young lives.
Nadie es viejo por la edad.
Might be a lot older but still sounds brilliant well done guys
Old there not even 70 yet .
