RIP Eric Vaughn Allen. 11/19/97 to 02/13/24. He loved this song. ❤️ He took his own life, and it has devastated me and his family. He loved going to Walmart and going out to eat. But, he was just as happy staying at home and eating noodles. His departure was sudden. But, he'd been battling depression for years and suicidal ideation. We feel as if we've failed him. He loved animals. Especially cats. He loved his computer. I write this in memory of him. On his favorite song. I will always love and miss him. I can't wait to see him in heaven. He's finally at peace, with his kitties that passed away.
Korin. Sweet memories of your beloved friend. To whom you loved and miss dearly. Please understand the depression your friend suffered was something that he wasn't responsible for. Neither are you Korin or his family. It's a chemical . When not depressed their known as sensitive, insightful. The other side of the coin. Please forgive what your friend did. As it was also a selfish act. Leaving his friends and loved ones. To not only mourn. But to feel guilty? I doubt very much you did anything wrong. Honor your friend by moving on living your life. Being the best you can be! ❤❤❤❤
I find the late Mark Hollis' vocal heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure. Only a deeply sensitive human being could have sung like this. So beautiful. ❤️
I caught 20 seconds of this this song last week on the radio and was damned if I could recall who sang this. It sounded like Ah Ah and I searched every video for the last week. It mysteriously popped up on my feed yesterday. Completely forgot about this band. Mystery solved. I’m 56 so this was during my high school years…what memories.
This came out when I was in high school. Even now, I still think of this as an underrated classic. Talk Talk should've been a bigger back then. RIP Mark Hollis. Such great voice. One of the best & most distinct voices of the 80s. He's right up there with other awesome 80's singers from the U.K.: #SiouxsieSioux (#SiouxsieAndTheBanshees), #Bono (#U2), #DaveGahan (#DepecheMode), #RobertSmith (#TheCure), #IanCurtis (#JoyDivision), among others...
Mark moved to the Sussex coast, close to Bognor Regis, for his last few years. I know this as my parents had a property nearby. Mark was quiet, unassuming and never played the 'star' card.
I don't know if our generation is the best, but about music I would say that the British wave of the 1980s churned out an excellent variety and quality.
Funny how I find myself in love with you If I could buy my reasoning, I'd pay to lose One half won't do I've asked myself, how much do you Commit yourself?

It's my life, don't you forget Caught in the crowd, it never ends It's my life, don't you forget Caught in the crowd, it never ends It's my life, don't you forget Caught in the crowd, it never ends
What a powerful fucking song. The way the verse and chorus contrast with each other, and that single chord at the end of the last line of the verse that bridges the two and signals a change of tone... just phenomenal songwriting. Every aspiring writer of pop songs should take note of what this song does right.
Nicely said. The reason why this chord has such a big emotional impact is because it performs a modulation (from Eb to E). Modulations are such a fundamental composition technique, it is hard to understand why they almost completely disappeared in today's popular music. But who knows, judging by the success of "Leave the Door Open", maybe there will be a comeback.
So true !!! I would have loved to hear Mark Hollis explained how he wrote this masterpiece. Sounds like everything is turning around the bass line (and what a bass line...it fills you up with all emotions you can feel) so I presume bass line was the spine of the melody
My absolute favorite song from the 1980's. Mark Hollis has a haunting voice like no other singer from that era. Talk Talk doesn't get the attention that The Cure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order and other British New Wave bands get, but they are absolutely just as legendary.

@@Stallion-dh8fu I've only recently discovered the album The Party's Over, how very remiss of me. It's excellent. I've had The Colour of Spring on CD since the late '80s.
December 2022... this song rocks, and so does the album of the same title! If you've never heard the "It's My Life" album in its entirety, do yourself a favor and check it out! I didn't have the chance til it was out 6 years, and I've loved it ever since! Timeless music and lyrics, beautifully crafted by the amazingly talented Mark Hollis...R.I.P., your incredible voice and wonderful melodies will live on forever!!! ❤️
And every other album by Talk Talk - Colour Of Spring, Spirit Of Eden, Laughing Stock. Perhaps with the caveat that with the last two you need to be in a quiet place (literally and in state-of-mind) and with a good, clear audio system.
I liked this song when I was a teenager in the eighties, and I like it now with the same passion. It has not lost any of this vibe since then. It keeps me still well.
Mark Holllis was one of the great unsung musical geniuses of a generation. This is a beautiful song, but "The Colour of Spring" is an album masterpiece, brilliant from start to finish.
Mark was way ahead of his time. This video is wonderful. Communicate without speaking. .Sing without singing. And what it communicates is pure life. Fucking genius Mark mate!
I remember that Dr Alban (a swedish-african dentist) made a cover and got a hit in Scandinavia with that, together with No coke. Few scandinavians know it was a cover of the old Talk talk's original
Omg, this song literally puts me in tears, even though I'm not remotely close to being born in the 80s, I'm fifteen. This song is just so beautiful, It shows you how amazing mother nature Is.
It’s a masterpiece pop song. Highly recommend you to check out the entirety of Talk Talk’s discography.. all of their albums are sublime, the last two LP’s are absolutely spellbinding.
Questa canzone è un capolavoro assoluto a distanza di molti anni mi emoziona come un tempo I Talk Talk erano straordinari avevo visto un loro concerto a Milano che ricordero' sempre, talento allo stato puro la loro musica resterà eterna 😍😍😍
One of the best songs EVER...FOREVER. So glad you guys have this version of the video on here. Not just cause it's the one I always knew, but read he did this one cause he didn't want to lip synch it. Dunno if that's true, but always have felt it's stronger visually for it. RIP Mark x and hope any remaining band members are well xx
It was pure magic. The best way to feel like you're still in the 80's is to live like nobody's watching. Let the joy emit from your heart and mind, and drown out today's negativity. Stay gold!
so far none of the generations after have been able to match the creativity and scope that was the 80's music scene. What lucky kids we were to be alive during the golden age of music.
I used to stay up late on Friday nights after a long week of school just to hear this song on Night Flight. Still a fave at 51 years old 💘🏆🎄 RIP Mark Hollis
Top 10 all time IMHO. Outstanding chord changes, and the bass lines simply grab you. Remember seeing the original on MTV (I'm 57; omg, I am my grandpa!). Haha, fun watching time go by, but songs like this make me feel so damn young and opens so many memories. Music is a wormhole.
I'm 70 and my time has come and gone time goes by very fast I've lived through many decades of great music the 80s were the best years for music like this classic this song is timeless never gets old
My dad passed on Monday. We were mates and we loved each other and helped each other so much. So here I am listening to this beautiful song bawling my eyes out and having fond memories of my dad when he helped me the most. RIP Don. You were a good man. ❤️
This was the first ever new wave album I bought back in 1985.... I was 12 years old and immediatly became addict of it. I litteraly worn it out listening endlessly to it. What a masterpiece and still is some 40 years later. Thank you Mark Hollis for the memorabilia. RIP
@@Gsmooth10455 it's 12:30 AM of the 9th here in Canada, but today was also my first time watching the video. Really liked the camera work with the animals.
One of the most beautiful songs of all times. We loved this song in the 80s. There used to be a place, called Ground Round. We went there after work, as late teens and young adults, until they closed their doors for good. When we pulled up, the waiting staff already knew us, and we had our pitcher of beer on the table when we came in, our wings on the table as well and this song on the jukebox. I recall, some of the wait staff referred to it as number 94 on the jukebox is already there for you guys. Amazing era of music, great song and amazing memories.
One off the best songs ever off the 80s The video to this is so beautiful and touching Definitely one off the top songs ever Talk Talk love you ❤❤ 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️Gets me emotional because i love Animals so much
Beautiful song with a good message made by a man ahead of his time. A great bass line and perfect lyrics. Definitely, one of the best songs in history that trascends any period!
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!
It seems like just yesterday it was 1987 and my friend and I were saying this is are last teenage summer and we need to live it up.I'm still living it up and enjoying every moment.
When I was little, my parents would play this song in the car *ALL* the time. So much in fact, I had the lyrics for this song memorized by the age of 3. Everything about it makes me feel like it's the most 80s song I've ever heard, and takes me back. This song always has a true place in my heart and is one of the greatest masterpieces ever written. Godspeed, Mark Hollis. We miss you.
This amazing song will forever remind me of my youth. I’m 50 now and I just can’t get enough of 80s music. I’ve turned a lot of my nieces and nephews onto 80s music and they love it.
Thank you Mark, the most underrated band of the 80’s still stands today even in 2024, bloody classic tune !
You are right they were underrated
Listening in 2024
why not thank Talk Talk. They were all part of the band. It wasn't the "Mark Hollis" solo band.
Incredible talent!!! Love this band
Do you like Life Is What You Make It, too ? ❤ It 😃
The bass line in this song is amazing, along with the synthesizer. Pure 80s bliss. I miss that decade of music.
Me too
Me as well😢
If there was a time machine, I want to go back😢.

December 2022... this song rocks, and so does the album of the same title! If you've never heard the "It's My Life" album in its entirety, do yourself a favor and check it out! I didn't have the chance til it was out 6 years, and I've loved it ever since! Timeless music and lyrics, beautifully crafted by the amazingly talented Mark Hollis...R.I.P., your incredible voice and wonderful melodies will live on forever!!! ❤️
Yes, me friend of miusic. Thank you
2023 and counting
So true. Rest In Peace, Mark 🙏
And every other album by Talk Talk - Colour Of Spring, Spirit Of Eden, Laughing Stock. Perhaps with the caveat that with the last two you need to be in a quiet place (literally and in state-of-mind) and with a good, clear audio system.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Ur right there little bo
Spot on
Amen to that
Couldn't agree more
such a simple video, yet so elegant, the music speaks to so many of us
I liked this song when I was a teenager in the eighties, and I like it now with the same passion. It has not lost any of this vibe since then. It keeps me still well.
Please bring back 80s songs,I'm reliving my teens listening to this classic,happy times,no Internet no i phones no bullshit,greetings from Ireland .
I hear you!
That's right no BS greetings from richmond va
His voice gives me goosebumps,such a beautiful,sad voice,no one sang like Mark.
Hi I recommend a song and video here on YT called 'Don't Lie To Me' By Robert Nix
Mark Holllis was one of the great unsung musical geniuses of a generation. This is a beautiful song, but "The Colour of Spring" is an album masterpiece, brilliant from start to finish.
Don’t forget Laughing Stock, which helped create the groundwork for the post-rock genre. In fact all Talk Talk albums slap.
Its not just the 80s. He was one of a kind. His voice and the music he instigated was actually brilliant x
The voices are gone. But not the old ones.
Its not just the 80s , happy to read this 👍 harmonies, the way he was singing, Talk Talk has something really unique.
One of my favourite songs ever!! Still absolutely relevant today and I was there when it first came out, what a tune!!!!!
I searched for this song, found it, and now I'm crying. A salute to Mark Hollis.
me too!
Makes me happy and not sad, it was a gift he left. PEACE
I love this song!
aaaaaaaaah man I didnt know he passed, shit too young! rip ♥
Me too I can't deal with this " future world " 😢 I used to be a tough hard man now I cry
If only I could go back 😔, I would NEVER leave the 80’s. Life was so much better then.
Agreed. A great decade to be a teenager
And your 20 's, .
I'd only leave the 80's for the 70's. Best time of my life.
Only few people understand your comment. And, yes I'd never leave it either.
👍
Mark was way ahead of his time. This video is wonderful. Communicate without speaking. .Sing without singing. And what it communicates is pure life. Fucking genius Mark mate!
This song is on equal footing with The Smiths "How Soon is Now".👍 Two of the greatest songs from the 80s.
Just a fantastic pop song....great melody, interesting vocals. The 80's saw an explosion of great music!
Never again to come by.glsd.i was a teen in the 80s
The 80s was the big bang about the musics.
Yes, the 80's were a wonderful time for music and so many other things. The best years of my life. 💫
Simply never stop loving this song. Timeless and never ends.
I remember that Dr Alban (a swedish-african dentist) made a cover and got a hit in Scandinavia with that, together with No coke. Few scandinavians know it was a cover of the old Talk talk's original
Such a beautiful song.
So many from the 80's and 90's are passing on. It's that inescapable sadness that touches everyone sooner or later.
Time to rock on and be awesome with the time we are here
Que diferencia de música, a la de hora.Quesuerte tuve de poderla disfrutar❤
I’m truly convinced music no longer exists it’s just sampled BS with no heart. 80’s were the best and will never be repeated.
they sampled a lot in the 80s too but it was a compliment to the music as opposed to a shortcut
Surreal de tão linda e perfeita! Marcante e as melhores dos anos 80!
Omg, this song literally puts me in tears, even though I'm not remotely close to being born in the 80s, I'm fifteen. This song is just so beautiful, It shows you how amazing mother nature Is.
It’s a masterpiece pop song. Highly recommend you to check out the entirety of Talk Talk’s discography.. all of their albums are sublime, the last two LP’s are absolutely spellbinding.
It's a godly song sent from the heavens created for godly people with tender hearts. Doesn't matter what age you are I'm 51.
Im 53 and ive always loved this song. You got taste for your age. Shame theres not more people like you 😊
Thanks my freind we both have taste and class say no more
Will do my freind thanks
Questa canzone è un capolavoro assoluto a distanza di molti anni mi emoziona come un tempo I Talk Talk erano straordinari avevo visto un loro concerto a Milano che ricordero' sempre, talento allo stato puro la loro musica resterà eterna 😍😍😍
One of the best songs EVER...FOREVER. So glad you guys have this version of the video on here. Not just cause it's the one I always knew, but read he did this one cause he didn't want to lip synch it. Dunno if that's true, but always have felt it's stronger visually for it. RIP Mark x and hope any remaining band members are well xx
I thought he was in dispute with his record label and this was his expression of defiance.
Listening in 2023...one of my favourites ever 40 year later still gives me chills when I hear the introduction ❤❤❤
It just did!!??
@annescott8392 It’s a wonderful gem from a great era of music. I remember this video playing on MTV every day for many months.
Still magical ✨️
You have great taste👍👍
Yep!
This is the kind of music that made the 80's fantastic !
It was a great time to be alive !
It was pure magic. The best way to feel like you're still in the 80's is to live like nobody's watching. Let the joy emit from your heart and mind, and drown out today's negativity. Stay gold!
@@tonybutta1802 you too friend live , love , enjoy , but mostly stay safe . .... ❤
Ciao..gio..sss..junior..in..by..gio..sss..primo..miami..florida...ciao..
Essa música marcou minha adolescência...melhor época musical 😍Talk Talk FOREVER ❤️
The best decade ever.. No time period in music could replace the 80s
so far none of the generations after have been able to match the creativity and scope that was the 80's music scene. What lucky kids we were to be alive during the golden age of music.
@@bornflippy1
EIGHTIIIEEESS !!
But teenage days are always the golden age i guess....glad to be then !
Born slippy??? 😂😉
The 70s were even better and paved the way for what became the great tunes of the 80s.
No time period can replace the one you grew up in lol
Hi I recommend an indierock song & video that's called 'Life Changes' By Robert Nix
I used to stay up late on Friday nights after a long week of school just to hear this song on Night Flight. Still a fave at 51 years old 💘🏆🎄 RIP Mark Hollis
Hej
Hej!🇸🇪
One of the most beautiful soundtrack I've ever heard
Absolute agree with you!! 🙏🏴
Top 10 all time IMHO. Outstanding chord changes, and the bass lines simply grab you. Remember seeing the original on MTV (I'm 57; omg, I am my grandpa!). Haha, fun watching time go by, but songs like this make me feel so damn young and opens so many memories. Music is a wormhole.
I'm 70 and my time has come and gone time goes by very fast I've lived through many decades of great music the 80s were the best years for music like this classic this song is timeless never gets old
We are still here October 2024 😊 what a poignant song I think most of us feel the sadness expressed in it at some times in our lives ❤❤xxxxxxxxx
Never get tired of this song,reminds me of a time in my life when I was happy.
Yeah... And somehow gives hope
Me too
Hope you find that happy again. You're only here once...make the most of it mate
Music is the closest thing to time travel.
Same, I'm 47 now
I can't describe it but this song gives me such a lift and hope in life.
One of the best songs of all time hands down 🔥🔥
One of best songs & videos of all time. My dad passed earlier this month & we played this at his memorial service.
My dad passed on Monday. We were mates and we loved each other and helped each other so much. So here I am listening to this beautiful song bawling my eyes out and having fond memories of my dad when he helped me the most. RIP Don. You were a good man. ❤️
Condolences to you and your family. ❤️
This song is amazing. Mark Hollis is an amazing singer and the band is great,too. I could listen all day. Mark, R.I.P. You're deeply missed.
🇳🇴🇳🇴
Fucking brilliant. Absolute class. 🎶🎶🎶🏌️
Indeed.😢
@@mike666nz YES 🇳🇴
Yes and influence Al it off the younger generation and even his piers
RIP Mark hollis...left us too soon.
Thanks for the great music.
He died?
He was such a good singer
I agree brill music and film to go with it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+Angel Rojas, I just found out too.
He passed away this year in February.
Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek - it makes me upset.
My god, the British know how to make music, so proud of our talent, fucking outstanding
Love, love, love this song. Always have. Fantastic bass line!!
This is still one of my favorite songs of all time. It's melody is both uplifiting and haunting at the same time.
Great song
This was the first ever new wave album I bought back in 1985.... I was 12 years old and immediatly became addict of it. I litteraly worn it out listening endlessly to it. What a masterpiece and still is some 40 years later. Thank you Mark Hollis for the memorabilia. RIP
Like me !!!!!
Perfeitas , letra e melodia. Aliás, incomparável. Ouvindo em Agosto de 2022.
Gives me chills every time😮 had it stuck in my head ALL day
Lol, me too! It's fucking haunting me! This and It's A Shame.
Me too ! ❤
the whole album this was on is great
@@DanHunterSportsWriter and "its you"
I still get those same chills from the first time I heard this song
0:53 love this part!!❤
2023 and listening to this masterpiece brings back memories of my youth.
I knew this song very well but oddly enough today 2/8/2023 was the first time that I had seen the video.
@@Gsmooth10455 it's 12:30 AM of the 9th here in Canada, but today was also my first time watching the video. Really liked the camera work with the animals.
these guys are un iquely great i may be 30 years late,but Time is relative
@@BruceAlarie never too late to discover new music from a different time era . 😊
Me too
One of the most beautiful songs of all times. We loved this song in the 80s. There used to be a place, called Ground Round. We went there after work, as late teens and young adults, until they closed their doors for good. When we pulled up, the waiting staff already knew us, and we had our pitcher of beer on the table when we came in, our wings on the table as well and this song on the jukebox. I recall, some of the wait staff referred to it as number 94 on the jukebox is already there for you guys. Amazing era of music, great song and amazing memories.
NIIIIIIICE !!!
Yup we had a place too they already had our drinks out at a certain time, absolutely awesome
@@Outdoorsy368 Used to love that time, the music, the atmosphere and everything else.
In New Jersey?
@@shermangoodwin5887 Yes, the one that used to be on Route 22, in Union, NJ. :D
One of the best bass lines ever recorded.
Agreed. Just makes you listen. Time after time..
Yes yes yes
I agree - such a great song
One off the best songs ever off the 80s The video to this is so beautiful and touching Definitely one off the top songs ever Talk Talk love you ❤❤ 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️Gets me emotional because i love Animals so much
RIP Mark Hollis You were such a lovely Guy 😢😢😢We will Never forget you
Always been my all-time favorite!!! This song will never fade, it is timeless. Mark Hollis had a fantastic voice and gift!
It’s not a track, it’s a musical monumental masterpiece
❤❤❤❤
Melodically Monumental !!
50p from Woolworths. I wasted the other half of my pocket money on Pick and Mix.
@@rw8733lol miss Woolworths sweets
Stumbled across their greatest hits in a record fair last weekend, best €20 ever
Beautiful song with a good message made by a man ahead of his time. A great bass line and perfect lyrics. Definitely, one of the best songs in history that trascends any period!
True words!
maded lol
@@kevbri11 It's the Old English )))
@@Tim_Mufey show me the source that makes you think so

Greatest bassline ever!!!

Amen to this.
IT'LL NEVER EEEEEEEEND
@@arthurgabriel4325 yes, it ended 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
@@cristinap.morais6878 No it won't! Cause we will always return and remember him c:
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!
Me too
It seems like just yesterday it was 1987 and my friend and I were saying this is are last teenage summer and we need to live it up.I'm still living it up and enjoying every moment.
I'm still listening to this great song in 2022.It was released in 1984.🐃🐘🦘
Agreed, I'm 59 and think I was lucky growing up with a great soundtrack to our lives and the band's we got to see.
There were great English and Canadian new wave bands back then.
Best song of the 80s , thank you Mr Hollis , God bless .
2:53 the most beautiful, powerful, marvelous transition ever produced. There, I said it.
Ahahahahah
When I was little, my parents would play this song in the car *ALL* the time. So much in fact, I had the lyrics for this song memorized by the age of 3. Everything about it makes me feel like it's the most 80s song I've ever heard, and takes me back. This song always has a true place in my heart and is one of the greatest masterpieces ever written. Godspeed, Mark Hollis. We miss you.
🤝👍
Same here bud.
Same, such a loss. 🎤
Thanks for sharing your feelings about this New Wave wonder.
You remeber the exact lyrics for this song when you were only 3 years old?😂 I don't believe it, it's too ridiculous to believe.😂
I remember when this song first came out. I have always loved this song.
Me too, I was 21 :)
I was married but still had my music 🥲🥲🥲🥲🍀
"This is my life, in nature, not incarcerated!!!" brilliant Talk Talk
That explains the song. Never realized animals and words of song. Brilliant!
one of the most underrated songs of all time........
I’ve never known it to be underrated.Its always been fabulous.Maybe it’s just you!
@@rippenkitten1 Stay in your lane.........
One of the most underrated band of all the time
Groups ,Mark was a legend
@@rafcangioli Totally
Essa é uma das Clássicas dos Saudosos e inesquecíveis ANOS 80. Massa!!!!!
This amazing song will forever remind me of my youth. I’m 50 now and I just can’t get enough of 80s music. I’ve turned a lot of my nieces and nephews onto 80s music and they love it.
Me neader,, greetings 🌹
53 greetings.
I've heard this tune for 40 years and for some reason now it's just hitting me in a completely different way.
I'm with you on this. This song has improved with age and now I'm older I'm reading more into it.
Eso es que os hacéis viejos como yo😂
A mí también me pasa😂
For some reason, this music is missed by the youth
Me too…100%
Listening on 4th of july.... 2024. Brings memories back
Still my favorite song. Love this. Transcends time.
