      We are so lucky to have been a part of the 80’s the best time to be a teen, best music, fashion. My new single out late 2024 features ABC Band drummer Richard Brook. It’s 80’s soulful pop inspired by ABC.

    It's near impossible not to have a smile on your face, as this song is playing. It's one of those great 80's songs, that just sticks with you for some reason. I remember when this first came out. And I still enjoy it today. Great vocals and a wonderful orchestral background. The 80's were such a better time. You just had such optimism for the present, and for the future. It wasn't perfect of course, nothing ever is. But all in all, it was 1000X's better than now for sure.

    I'm 65 and this song was played on the radio constantly in1983, as well as other ABC songs when they were released. I thought nothing about them one way or the other, however when I watched this video for the first time a few weeks ago I immediately became a fan- So fun and playful (and "innocent") as their other videos are also; No silly "messages" or politics or offensive content, just corny fun!
    Martin is extremely classy and polite in interviews as well as very articulate.

    The quintessential early 80s song. Along with "Don't You Want Me," "Tainted Love," "Do You Really want to Hurt Me," "Do You Wanna Hold Me," "Ant Music," etc. etc. etc.

    80's Nostalgia aside, listen to the lyrics and notice the delivery there is a deep profound feel and expression in this song and the quality of the video production, not to mention the musical genius.

    ABC is the best. These guys and Erasure - just doesn't get old. This video on the other hand was shot in typical 80's WTF style.

      The Innocents, 1987 was their best.

      Denise White, same here. I miss the '80s too, I was only 8 when this song came out and this music video came out with the song, and I've loved them both ever since.

    I love a band with a sense of humour. So many 80s bands took themselves far too seriously. This video is so much fun.

    Anne Dudley's strings on this just make the whole record. Wouldn't be in the same category of classic music without them...

    One of THE best 80's bands- Martin Frys' distinctive voice, great arrangments, orchestrations- The ABC 'sound'! X.

    If I had known how magical the 80s were when I was in them I would have embraced it more. Now I can never go back to those days but the memories live on in the wonderful music.

      For sure! If there was a "nexus" I'd want to put myself in the 80s and stay there!

      M and R Davidson Nowadays shit music from Kanye West. However we do have Adele. Just miss music, but now it is often hip hop, and none of the artist know about instruments because their music are just tracks from the computer or they don't know that music should also be uplifting.

      For those of us that lived in the 80s, like myself, I don't think we completely understood how lucky we were to be alive, during the 80s decade. It was difficult to fully appreciate what we were experiencing, until several decades later. That's my thought. Yes, if I could time travel, I would definitely want to return to the 1980s.

      I was born in 82 and I'm so thankful I got to love my childhood days during the 80's and 90's. I feel so blessed but at the same time so sad that I can't go back. I wish I had appreciated those times more.

    • @dereka3341
      @dereka3341 6 років тому +3

      I turned 10 in 1982. The 80s decade was really building momentum in 1982. Now that I'm able to look back. Miss the 80s so much!

    I was about 10 when this came out. I used to wait for my oldest brother to go so I could play his records and Lexicon of Love was usually the first to go on
