I was the director of photography on this clip, shot in Chicago in the '80s. Great song, talented musicians and a gorgeous model. All typical recipes for a music video. Glad so many viewed and enjoyed it.
I’m a child of the 80s (born in ‘75) and downloaded “Vital Signs” from iTunes a few weeks ago to relive my youth. Survivor, anchored by Jimi’s vocals, are one of the reasons that made that decade awesome. I never saw the video until now-an excellent clip and track which stands the test of time. Thank you for capturing an amazing and fun era with your gift and the talent and dedication of all involved. Above all, thanks for sharing... Cheers!
Sadly he got compared to Steve Perry ..appearance and voice ...they had some great stuff .." Eye of the Tiger " was bad...it was like " Achey Breaky Heart" for Billy Ray Cyrus
You said it perfectly; one of the greatest voices of all time. For me personally, it was love at first note. All three of them harmonized so well, but there is no doubt, his voice was in a league of its own.
Let me tell you; there will never be another voice like his ever again. Jimi Jamison was truly gifted with incredible talent and good looks. Survivor created great music....
Oh, you are so right. I was a young American boy at the time, and it’s really hard for me at times to think of that innocent, magical time that we call “the 80s.” So many experiences and friends that are so long gone. I’m giving anyone who needs a friend right now a “virtual hug” tonight as we remember those times long ago….. Keep the faith everybody. Love to you all. ❤️
Ain’t that the truth Living in the 80s was amazing and simpler time of life before the cell phone age we didn’t know how good the time we were living in was.
@@singhangad300 okay, fully expecting to be called "a fucking idiot" here, but just to clarify, are you using LP as an example of how far downhill music's gone or of the best we have left?
May be one of the best songs of all time.From any era.Has all the qualities of a great song.Its that feeling you get when your suddenly realized love has saved your life.
Listening to Survivor. Great band & lead singer Jimi Jamison fantastic lead singer & frontman. Miss this band. Today is August 8, 2024. R.I P. JIMI ... YOU ARE SURELY MISSED. ❤😢
Kathleen Reese 70s were crazy, us 8th graders were drinking Alcohol & going to concerts. Those concerts had very little Security, this was also a time when kids were doing Drugs. Im serious fans were passed out & even loud Music didnt wake them. We did get to Big Bands, Rolling Stones, LED ZEPPELIN, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Journey, & Country Singer Alan Jackson. Wish I could fiqure out why those 70s Bands did so many Drugs
I graduated in 85 and know and love Vital Signs Everyone knew and Hated thr Popular Gitl I see u in Everyone Jimmi belts it with soul As a HD sensor my boyfriend dumped me for the Rasy girl I wore out this tape twice in mu car stereo Jimmi is rocking out in heaven what a Voice what a gift he gave to millions of people in the world RIP
Absolutely the music we had is still the best,even TV ads play the good old stuff,not often is the new crap playing,I miss 70s 80s everyday,Thanks for memories
I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor and IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Stay safe and keep on rocking in the '020s.
@rustyking8783 -- Totally agree --- check out "Man Against the World", if you haven't already, that one really showcases Jimi's beautiful voice, & amazing range.... also, look for an interview with him here on YT, I think it's called "Music Legends", a series of about 12 short videos, you can pick any of them -- it's so wild to hear his speaking voice, I never in a million years would have thought the guy in the interview & the guy singing, were the same person -- his normal voice was just that, "normal", with a soft Southern drawl (he was from Memphis). Just bizarre, but in a good way, if that makes sense.
The late '70s and the 80's were such a wonderful, remarkable time to be alive!! Young and full of passion with such good music. I hear these songs and they totally take me back to where I was and who I was in love with ❤️. No internet, no cell phones, life was simple and fun. You'd go to a party wondering if your crush was gonna be there........I miss those days so much, I wouldn't trade those years for anything in the world!!!!
@I STAN Kim Jong-Un but Can't STAND Trump Well.... TV had already been around for a few decades at that point. We didn't have MTV or cable, & I never felt like I missed anything.... until maybe the last couple years --I'm honestly seeing these '80s videos for the first time! Makes me feel young again, but it's also bittersweet because so many of the artists & musicians have already passed, not to mention classmates from back then.
Totally agree. Now we have to deal with the "pronoun police" & people who believe that MEN can have babies. I would go back to 1980 in a heartbeat just to escape our current reality!!!
It has done it, topped Eye Of The Tiger as my favourite by Survivor, I was out shopping the other day, thought about Survivor and this was the first song that entered my mind. I was up the park the other day and was humming this all the time
Most of the biggest bands of the eighties are actually from the seventies which raw talent wise was actually better just less exposure pre MTV is the difference
+Jay Billings +Jay Billings Omg you are so lucky to have known him! I would have given anything to meet him and see Survivor and Jimi in concert. I love him and miss him so much! RIP sweet angel Jimi! 💔💔
that was the point of recording in the 80s. As soon as that motive was lost it was over. It was intentionally tweaked into a cultural blight so it could be weaponized into a political weapon which is all entertainment is. It highlights the small minds that lurk in shadows.
None of us are❤We had the best in music, best in style, best in hair(minus the mullet and freeze-dried hairspray), best cars...and as overused as the word "literally" has become, we LITERALLY had the best of EVERYTHING!! What a time it was to be alive❤
@keithchristopher4516 Then you should watch the live video for "Everlasting " Survivor was so underrated! I miss the 80s so much, but I guess every generation believes their's was the best, and to them, it probably was. The 80s were just so iconic with music, and nearly everything in my playlist is all 80s. Jimi Jameson was a legend! He never missed a note. Absolutely, perfect pitch, and oh, so easy on the eyes!😂
Probably my favorite Survivor song and video. So blessed to have grown up with this music. There has been nothing like it since. Sad that so many of the greats from that era are gone. It was truly a great time to be alive.
Beautifully stated, I couldn’t agree more. It was a magic time, just pure magic, and this song somehow makes my heart kind of hurt a little bit as I remember how beautiful it was. I was in elementary school at the time……just soaking it all in. Thanks for sharing, best wishes everybody. ❤️
Well gee, you're the first one to ever say anything remotely like that. Now come up with a clever remark about the 650 thumbs down and then go play the lottery.
Very few people look beyond the obvious 2 Eye Of The Tiger and Burning Heart. Me being more curious, raked UA-cam and found what I could, liked the lot bar one, bought the Ultimate Survivor CD and have topped Bon Jovi as my top rock band
I think it's safe to say that Survivor were the masters of the power ballad. I had no idea at the time just how great this music was. I miss the `80s SO much.
Jon Bruno Buffalo, NY isn't all about our 10 feet of Snow every winter & 4 lost Suberbowls & 1977 Blizzard. In 70s early 80s 10 years of Concerts 4 every summer at Bills Stadium. Rolling Stones played here 6 times. Bummer Led Zeppelin cancelled when Roberts son passed away in 1977. They got Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd to play here. Also Country singer Alan Jackson. It was funny almost every Band opened saying HELLO BUFFALO. Not lying about our winter weather
Here in Miami I sometimes go to a restaurant/pub that plays 80's music after 12 AM, but many of the patrons are ladies in their twenties. Simply Heaven!
I saw these guys way way way back when they were the openers for Triumph. The show was in Dallas Texas. Their only hit of note was Poor Man's Son but it was a great performance. It wasn't long after that when they exploded on to the scene and I felt lucky to have seen them.
It's true! I am impressed by it...like built for commercials...hey its cheesy,but it's not depressingly bad 90s alt music of any stripe. Oh that was rough...some not all. Just sooooo serious this isnt its peppy!
+Chris Baker Stan Bush is the only one who could even come close to matching him in vocal style he should get with Survivor as their new lead singer :)
MINE TOO!! I don't think the video quite does it justice. This song captures the wonderful experience of meeting someone and hitting it off so well you just can't wait to see each other again. The next day you can't stop thinking about that person. He(she) is excited too. If you connect after that and fall in love, euphoria! Music expresses emotions and we can sing along when expressing them is too risky. Play it loud and sing along! I bought it off iTunes!
+mitch1835 Yes, indeed. Steve Perry and Jimi Jamison probably both have the same voice type which is tenor, and both infuse emotion into every song they sing. But RIP Jimi.
I was 8 years old when this song was released. As many times as I've listened to it over the years, each time is like the first time. So many great songs were released in the 80's and this is one of those songs. Once you've heard it you don't ever forget.
great group. Im 68, Im still stuck in the 60's & early 70's music,I like a lot of 80's too, lots of groups from the 60's & 70's are popular in the 80's, David Coverdale,used to sing lead vocals in Deep purple in the early 70's, Mellencamp, REO speedwagon, many others. they said in the 60's Rock & Roll will never die,listening to todays music sometimes I feel it was a lie, but I have over 500 of the ol songs from my past on a USB stick🤗
What a Classic !!!! One of my all time favorites.... This group is extremely talented. This song is simply Awesome!!! As is this video!!! Yes this gentleman Jimi Jamison is most definitely beautiful then and now. He has gotten even more & more handsome. He is such an endearing heart and sweet soul as well. That's what makes his talent even more incredible for he is truly one of a kind.
This song is so beautiful I miss back when music sounded like this so much. None of us had a clue in the world that music was gonna turn out to be the way it is today. If I could relive the 80s I would do it in a heart beat!.
As much as I love, love, love 80's music, I have found some great music that is popular now. It's a few years old, but the Chelsea Dagger song is awesome! I like Courtney Barnet (probably spelled it wrong) singing a song, "I'm thinking of you, too...." Not sure of the actual title, but I love that song!
That's what I'm talking about. None of us had any idea or thought's about music changing like this. This was the style and we thought it was gonna be like this forever it seemed like. Now that we're here in the future, boy don't we wish it did. Heart beat, I'm looking for a heart beat. I loved that song btw. It was in the movie The Principal with Jim Belushi.
Cool @@ukmedicfrcs ! So I'll get all my old music, the geetar, the Aussie pup, the motorcycle and summertime camping stuff all loaded in the truck... Where will we live ? This will teach you not to look so good and feel so right... I must be living in a fantasy world.... * smile *
In the 80’s I was always searching for the perfect girl, great job and hoped to get a nice house, but I had my youth. Now, at 59, I have the perfect wife, great job and nice home, but I miss my youth. I wouldn’t change a thing though! I’m very lucky to be where I am today!! This song was one of my favorites back then and still is now.
All decades had their great sounds. Older generations would swear by the big bands, younger generations would swear by Elvis and his contemporaries. The 60s, 70s, and 80s all have their defenders. As for me, I grew up in the 60's and 70s. But I have learned to appreciate music from different eras.
Wow! What a song...what a voice! It brings back some beautiful memories of the 80's. I'm just sorry Jimi is no longer with us; he will certainly never be forgotten. His music lives on.
I was a teenager during the early and mid 1980's and the music was great but the music today is really good too. I love Pink and there are plenty of other great bands out there as well The 1990's sucked big time.
I think for Survivor, Jim Peterik wrote most of the lyrics. He has mentioned in the past that his lyrics were a bit "purple prose". Sometimes Frankie Sullivan would suggest a lyric change that it would make it less so. With the Peterik co-written songs by other groups and singers I don't necessarily know what lyrics he wrote/co-wrote. Though, a .38 Special fan did say that .38 Special members tended to write the music and Peterik the lyrics in the songs that they co-wrote together.
Absolutely, Peter, I agree 1000%. Criminally underrated, even with the success they had. There was just a unique energy and fire in that voice that was all his own. I sometimes thought of him as a light rock version of Ronnie James Dio. Thank you for supporting his legacy and memory. Rock on.
Jimi was a huge fan of Steve Perry as am I. I'm so glad that we atleast still have Perry and that he decided to put out a album after being away from the music industry for over 20yrs because he still has that incredible voice!
@@kennethmcmahan609 Jamison, at his best, was better than Steve Perry. This song represents Jamison at his best...cool that Perry's still around, though. "Traces" was allright, no more, but a nice treat, just because....
Thank you for writing this song and singing it every concert you do. The message is an eye-opener. Keep rocking and spreading word. Stand up and defend yourself or reach out for help. We are here.
It's sad that Jimmy Jamison passed away about 8 yrs ago or more? Died in His 60s. He had a wonderful voice. R.I.P. Jimmy
Jesus saves sinners! God bless you fellow rocker
I think he died in his 50s of a heart attack
I was the director of photography on this clip, shot in Chicago in the '80s. Great song, talented musicians and a gorgeous model. All typical recipes for a music video. Glad so many viewed and enjoyed it.

Isn’t that Paulina Poriskova?
@@paisleyprincess7996 No, that is not Paulina.
@@checkeredflagfilms who is it pray tell
Great work sir. Classic video.
One of the most underrated singers of the 80's. He ,and Steve Perry were just 2 of the phenomenal voices of the 80's.
Absolutely.
Agree
And the hottest 🔥
Absolutely right, Jimi Jamison's voice was terrific.
George Michael
Jimi's voice and singing abilities. Omg. He was so underrated. Rest in Peace Jimi. You were and will always be one of the greatest vocalist EVER.
Sadly he got compared to Steve Perry ..appearance and voice ...they had some great stuff .." Eye of the Tiger " was bad...it was like " Achey Breaky Heart" for Billy Ray Cyrus
This song is for my fluffy brown haired boy cabbage patch kid boy Bryce because this song is his favorite song
You said it perfectly; one of the greatest voices of all time. For me personally, it was love at first note. All three of them harmonized so well, but there is no doubt, his voice was in a league of its own.
he was in a metal band before survivor ua-cam.com/video/G8OL0474A-U/v-deo.html

80s had the best music
Greatest music EVER!!!! You nailed it!!
I agree 100%
Damn the 80s were the shit! The single greatest decade ever for music and just life in general...
If this song doesn't make you feel great nothing will.
Yes it does. I also love Nothings gonna stop us now. Another feel good by starship
I thank God I grew up in the 80s every single day!
You were lucky! Lucky ❤
Let me tell you; there will never be another voice like his ever again.
Jimi Jamison was truly gifted with incredible talent and good looks.
Survivor created great music....
Hi Safiya,hope you’re okay ?
@@davidtaylor524 Hi David. I am good! Hope you are as well.
@@safiyahosein2274 Yeah same,I’m David Taylor I live in Washington DC but currently deployed here in Aden Yemen.where are you from ?
He was the best I love his songs
My favorite Survivor song. Jimi Jamison singing his heart out. RIP.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Oh my goodness, me too!!!!
YES. ME TOO
Well said!!!!
Lost love will do that to you. Especially a first love.
Oh, you are so right. I was a young American boy at the time, and it’s really hard for me at times to think of that innocent, magical time that we call “the 80s.” So many experiences and friends that are so long gone. I’m giving anyone who needs a friend right now a “virtual hug” tonight as we remember those times long ago….. Keep the faith everybody. Love to you all. ❤️
Rest in Peace Jimi. What a great voice. He was such a good looking man.
You're so right, Sally
Respect. RIP Jimmy
Jimo was so Beautiful i inside and out!😍😍
He seemed like a great guy . Amazing voice and sexy !
I’m 27 and I listen to 80’s music more than I listen to nowadays music. Why? Because it’s awesome!!!
Damn right!
Don’t stop there try the 60s & 70s drink it all in
True that! 34 here and listened to 80s music all along :)
This is my girlfriend and I’s song ❤️❤️❤️
@@stephanebert7739 me too, I’m 36 and have been listening to 80’s tunes since I’ve been 10
Us folks that grew up in the 1980's Never knew how Good we had it
So painfully true.
Ain’t that the truth
Living in the 80s was amazing and simpler time of life before the cell phone age we didn’t know how good the time we were living in was.
Yeah we did: cool & smoking hot girls, great music, enough money going round... and everyone had 1 gender.
Good times create soft men, I'm 62 bench pressing 250lb jogging 2 miles a day, 20 yr. old men can't keep up!
I’m 55 now....not a day goes by where the 80s don’t cross my mind.
...I'm 58, and that's ALL I think about!
I'm 48 a bit younger but the 80's were great best time. Everyone was cool.
The 80's was the best time ever that's where I stay I'm 56✌️
For nearly two decades I couldn't listen to this genre of music. Simply too painful. But as I've gotten older I can listen and remember the good.
I'm 50...and I love the 80s
I'm so glad I was young in the 70's and 80's. So much great music to listen to
Good music kept coming and coming at us.
Turns out we were the lucky ones, err blessed ones..
Me too and I'd love to go back. I thought those days would last forever
I was born in the 1980s but I like 80s and some 70s as well as 1990s
My kids were raised in a house that was full of rock music, I really feel bad for the Next Generation , the crap they listen to is awful
In my opinion, the 80's had the best music, bands and concerts ever
Yes it did
You are correct
@@singhangad300 okay, fully expecting to be called "a fucking idiot" here, but just to clarify, are you using LP as an example of how far downhill music's gone or of the best we have left?
I love you so much 😭❤love dis musik 🥺❤❤❤❤❤💝💘💝💖💖💗💗
Sure is. I miss those days (music wise) but fashion, not so much. Lol
My favorite Survivor song.. Takes me back to the winter of 1985. Classic !
its amazing
May be one of the best songs of all time.From any era.Has all the qualities of a great song.Its that feeling you get when your suddenly realized love has saved your life.
Listening to Survivor. Great band & lead singer Jimi Jamison fantastic lead singer & frontman. Miss this band. Today is August 8, 2024. R.I P. JIMI ... YOU ARE SURELY MISSED. ❤😢
Heard it in the grocery store today. I couldn't stop myself from singing. Love this song. Brings back happy memories of good times in the 80's. ❤
I love to sing in the store, of course I dance too! The whole world's a stage right?
@@LadyLibertyQ45 Yea Rush

Mark Downum so true
Mark Downum 47 here and I agree... We got the greatest vocals of any generation. Miss the 80 music scene.
Movies was awesome too... Soul man...12 o'clock high!
“Eye Of The Tiger” may have been their biggest hit, but there’s no doubt Survivor’s best music was done with Jimi Jameson. R.I.P
I so much agree with you. Not to mention how gorgeous Jimi was.
Absolutly!!
Agree 100%!!!!!!!
tr5regh6 Trash music! My music is way better! ua-cam.com/video/-X0y2DfsKIo/v-deo.html

Ur so right Joe Surviour was a awesome group . N JJ was a hella a singer. Man I miss the 80s

Porque recordar es vivir ..tengo 59 años y nada de hoy se compara al Ayer..Vivan los 60 70.80 y 90...❤
What a pure and clean voice. High and strong too. Rock vocals at its best. True artistry that takes us away.

AGREED!
Absolutely right and them days will always be remembered late 70s early 80s🇺🇸
I would never trade the 1980s for any other, as it was a remarkable decade in terms of music played with passion
Oh God yes!!! This music is timeless!! I get teary eyed when I listen to 80's music..
Agreed
I graduated high school in 1987 and living in Nashville I saw a lot of the greats! I wouldn't trade it for the world!!🦋
right on bro
i started my party days in 1980 i was 13
Forget Eye Of The Tiger, this song was their magnum opus.
The search is over and I Can't Hold Back are much better (not that this is one is bad, at all!)
It has done it, topped Eye Of The Tiger as my favourite by Survivor, I was out shopping the other day, thought about Survivor and this was the first song that entered my mind. I was up the park the other day and was humming this all the time
Across the Miles is best one for me.
No autotune. Just talent. A gift divine.
The perfect american bands of the 80's....voice,era and music.
I'm 55 years old - and nothing beats the '80's Music!
You're right.....NOTHING. I'm 56 and i know that.
The 70's
and movies
Most of the biggest bands of the eighties are actually from the seventies which raw talent wise was actually better just less exposure pre MTV is the difference
Keep Rockin
Please lord bring back the 80's
That boy was a damn good singer.
One of the greatest of all time. Glad to have known him. The World misses you Jimi
+Jay Billings +Jay Billings Omg you are so lucky to have known him! I would have given anything to meet him and see Survivor and Jimi in concert. I love him and miss him so much! RIP sweet angel Jimi! 💔💔
He sang the Baywatch theme song. I immediately recognised his distinctive voice.
Yeah....he really was.
and he was a really good looking man. likeable and intelligent.
If you were a teenager in the 80's you got to enjoy the greatest music ever made!!!
that was the point of recording in the 80s. As soon as that motive was lost it was over. It was intentionally tweaked into a cultural blight so it could be weaponized into a political weapon which is all entertainment is. It highlights the small minds that lurk in shadows.
I was in my 30's and I enjoyed it just as much!
You can still enjoy it! No bands are making music like this nowadays though!
Ues
16 Años de edad..highschool..o prepa..en México..😅.
This song is liquid serotonin. Feels so good. 😊
I agree
Dopamine
OMG, yes!!!
Sums it up perfectly. In my top 10 favorite 80s tunes.
Good analogy
Who is with me on this one... I hope after all the crap of 2020, we see a new "80's" decade emerge.
Agreed!!!!! Love this music
Yes !!!!! Bring on the 80's music.'
Yes! And we can start by taking out the Trash in D.C.
Amen to that!!!
AMO ESTA MUSICA - ME TOCO VIVIRLA - SALUDOS DESDE HERMOSILLO MEXICO...
Hundreds, even thousands of years from now…these songs and videos from the 80’s will be enjoyed by billions…many BILLIONS!!!
If you didn't lived in the Era of the 80 believe you don't know what you was missing especially the music 🎶
The 80s maybe over, but I'm not over the 80s
Cant say I am completely over the 1980s

Nobody makes songs this great anymore!
Nobody makes music at all anymore
@@BrianTaylor-v6q I agree!
Probably my favorite Survivor song and video. So blessed to have grown up with this music. There has been nothing like it since. Sad that so many of the greats from that era are gone. It was truly a great time to be alive.
Beautifully stated, I couldn’t agree more. It was a magic time, just pure magic, and this song somehow makes my heart kind of hurt a little bit as I remember how beautiful it was. I was in elementary school at the time……just soaking it all in. Thanks for sharing, best wishes everybody. ❤️

@@DefeaterMann I'll be sure to never listen to yours. *Cranks up Survivor*
So right
It's fair to say the music of the 80's was better, (actually 1000%) better then what we're hearing now.
Agreed!
Well gee, you're the first one to ever say anything remotely like that. Now come up with a clever remark about the 650 thumbs down and then go play the lottery.
mykidpatkinsing John amen
I miss the 80's music. Nobody sounds that good anymore!
the music died after 1989
I know that a majority of people just think about the theme song to Rocky when they hear survivor, but I myself put this song WAY above that!!👍
Very few people look beyond the obvious 2 Eye Of The Tiger and Burning Heart. Me being more curious, raked UA-cam and found what I could, liked the lot bar one, bought the Ultimate Survivor CD and have topped Bon Jovi as my top rock band
Please change to favourite band and Jimi top lead vocalist
I think it's safe to say that Survivor were the masters of the power ballad. I had no idea at the time just how great this music was. I miss the `80s SO much.
Can't go back; damn it. BUT, music like this can take you back.
Jon Bruno Buffalo, NY isn't all about our 10 feet of Snow every winter & 4 lost Suberbowls & 1977 Blizzard. In 70s early 80s 10 years of Concerts 4 every summer at Bills Stadium. Rolling Stones played here 6 times. Bummer Led Zeppelin cancelled when Roberts son passed away in 1977. They got Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd to play here. Also Country singer Alan Jackson. It was funny almost every Band opened saying HELLO BUFFALO. Not lying about our winter weather
You got that right!
I can't go back either I was 14 back then got it love to go back still enjoy this today
Doesn’t it! I was living in Fl then! I’m there in my head!
I can't go back because I never left.
Here in Miami I sometimes go to a restaurant/pub that plays 80's music after 12 AM, but many of the patrons are ladies in their twenties. Simply Heaven!
More importantly, Jesus saves sinners. God bless you fellow rocker
RIP Jimi Jamison. Great voice, great song.
I saw these guys way way way back when they were the openers for Triumph. The show was in Dallas Texas. Their only hit of note was Poor Man's Son but it was a great performance. It wasn't long after that when they exploded on to the scene and I felt lucky to have seen them.
It peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of March 23, 1985.
Never ever gets old.
a true classic never goes out of style ;)
My favorite vocalist of the era.
Right ☺
This might be the single most 80s thing I've ever heard in my life.
It's an excellent song.
DiamondAxeStudios video looks awesome
I am hooked
@@tiredcomet3828 I been hooked on this damn song for 34 years....
Very good.
It's true! I am impressed by it...like built for commercials...hey its cheesy,but it's not depressingly bad 90s alt music of any stripe. Oh that was rough...some not all. Just sooooo serious this isnt its peppy!
Pure eighties
No denying, the Man had a "One of a kind" voice, And will be dearly missed. Great song!
+Chris Baker Stan Bush is the only one who could even come close to matching him in vocal style he should get with Survivor as their new lead singer :)

One of the greatest songs of the 80s and my favorite Survivor song. This was a great band and what an awesome vocalist!
love it
MINE TOO!!
I don't think the video quite does it justice.
This song captures the wonderful experience of meeting someone and hitting it off so well you just can't wait to see each other again. The next day you can't stop thinking about that person. He(she) is excited too. If you connect after that and fall in love, euphoria!
Music expresses emotions and we can sing along when expressing them is too risky.
Play it loud and sing along!
I bought it off iTunes!
Nice Laura! It totally embodies everything you said here.
r.i.p. jimi! gone but not forgotten!
I Love tbe eighties😀🍺🍻great song
Oh my God the eighties were definitely the greatest Generation ever
This song like so many others that they have recorded is an absolute masterpiece. Jimi Jamison is one of the greatest singers in rock history.
Im totally agree!
Two of the best voices in rock Steve Perry and Jimi , no autotune needed for these gentleman! R.I.P. JJ
Indeed♥
And Lou Gramm with Kevin Cronin too.
you are very correct
Easily the best. I can't believe Jimi's already been dead for a year. We lost 2 legends last year: Robin Williams and Jimi Jamison.
+mitch1835 Yes, indeed. Steve Perry and Jimi Jamison probably both have the same voice type which is tenor, and both infuse emotion into every song they sing. But RIP Jimi.
Who's listening to this greatness in 2020🤘🤘,,so thankful I got to grow up with music like this..💯💯
So much energy and passion to this music! Got me fired up in my late teens and again in my late 50’s!
Still listening going into 2021🤘❤
Yes I'm listening! Love these guys.
Meeeeeee ❤!!!
April 2021!
I always thought this song was corny until I fell in love for the first time at 60 years old. Now it makes sense.
Jimi Jamison was an underrated singer and a genuinely nice guy. Rare.
Jimmy Jameson & Steve Perry, best two male rock vocalists I've heard coming out of the 80s.
When this came out in 1984, Henry Kissinger was 61, Casey Kasem was 52, Carol Burnett was 51, I was 48, Paul McCartney was 42, and Madonna was 26
RIP Jimi Jamison. we miss you and the talent you shared with us.
Let's all close our eyes and go back to the 80s. Serenity now 🙋♂️
🆒🫂😎😭🙏💃👏
I was 8 years old when this song was released. As many times as I've listened to it over the years, each time is like the first time. So many great songs were released in the 80's and this is one of those songs. Once you've heard it you don't ever forget.
My favorite Survivor song, and there were many. R. I. P. Both Stephen Elliot ( Base Guitar) & The legendary Jimmie Jamison ( Lead Vocals)
Yes, he's everybit as good a singer as SP but i didn't even know his name . Sad he's passed on 😢
Seriously they died? Owwwwwwww
@@Francloy1😢in 2014!
Jimi Jameson and Survivor. Such talent. A singer you can understand,
That's because this is from a time where there were lyrics worth hearing... not just lazy repeating and yeahyeahyeah...
Survivor needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame one of the greatest bands ever
Are they not?
If they can add Cheap Trick, they can sure as hell add Survivor
great group. Im 68, Im still stuck in the 60's & early 70's music,I like a lot of 80's too, lots of groups from the 60's & 70's are popular in the 80's, David Coverdale,used to sing lead vocals in Deep purple in the early 70's, Mellencamp, REO speedwagon, many others. they said in the 60's Rock & Roll will never die,listening to todays music sometimes I feel it was a lie, but I have over 500 of the ol songs from my past on a USB stick🤗
Saw them in concert in the 80's. They were awesome. I'd go back to the 80's tomorrow if i could. Great band. Sorry that he passed away.
What a Classic !!!! One of my all time favorites.... This group is extremely talented. This song is simply Awesome!!! As is this video!!!
Yes this gentleman Jimi Jamison is most definitely beautiful then and now. He has gotten even more & more handsome. He is such an endearing heart and sweet soul as well. That's what makes his talent even more incredible for he is truly one of a kind.
Hell Yes!!! One of the MANY great songs from Survivor. Strong in 2023:)
I TOTALLY GO BACK TO THE 80'S WITH SURVIVOR SONGS, JIMMI WHAT A VOICE I LOVE IT SO MUCH I WILL BE MISS U !!!
This song is so beautiful I miss back when music sounded like this so much. None of us had a clue in the world that music was gonna turn out to be the way it is today. If I could relive the 80s I would do it in a heart beat!.
I've been saying this for a long time. The 80's clearly had the best music.
i agree, my city in late 70s 80s for 10 yrs had concert 4 times every summer at football stadium, all big time bands
As much as I love, love, love 80's music, I have found some great music that is popular now.
It's a few years old, but the Chelsea Dagger song is awesome! I like Courtney Barnet (probably spelled it wrong) singing a song, "I'm thinking of you, too...." Not sure of the actual title, but I love that song!
Heartbeat - Don Johnson released in 1986. Your comment reminded me of this old gem!
That's what I'm talking about. None of us had any idea or thought's about music changing like this. This was the style and we thought it was gonna be like this forever it seemed like. Now that we're here in the future, boy don't we wish it did. Heart beat, I'm looking for a heart beat. I loved that song btw. It was in the movie The Principal with Jim Belushi.
I want to go back. I miss the 80s. Best time of my life.
Awesome memories watching great 80's music on MTV! You know, when it was really MTV! I'd go back right now given the chance!
Can you please take me with you.... Please.
@@XRacerify Yes! I don't want to go back by myself!
Cool @@ukmedicfrcs ! So I'll get all my old music, the geetar, the Aussie pup, the motorcycle and summertime camping stuff all loaded in the truck... Where will we live ?
This will teach you not to look so good and feel so right... I must be living in a fantasy world.... * smile *
@@ukmedicfrcs I also want to go, please take me. I want to die there.
This song just takes me back to the 80's and I miss them! Great song, great times!

i miss writing songs with you Jimi . the search is over buddy . you found heaven . r.i.p.
As I post 📫, 40 years 🎂 since this video and song were released. 1984.
Anything before the 90s rocks!!! At least they play instruments unlike the 90s after ITS A SHAME
Survivor was known as the band that other bands DIDN'T want to sound like - back then, but this is a great last hurrah from them
@@MadMetsFan they sounded like Journey or Journey sounded like them
rest in peace Jimi!! thanks for your great voice and music!!
Lucky me, remember when this video hit MTV. 16 years old... Time flies..
Ii was 13
I was 17 :-)
Oh yes the eighties were the very best indeed. Nothing today even comes close!
+Tim Gibson I was 14, and drooling over Jimi Jamison, and loving the music! RIP Jimi, I love you and miss you so much!! 💔💔
In the 80’s I was always searching for the perfect girl, great job and hoped to get a nice house, but I had my youth. Now, at 59, I have the perfect wife, great job and nice home, but I miss my youth. I wouldn’t change a thing though! I’m very lucky to be where I am today!! This song was one of my favorites back then and still is now.
Amen on that my friend same here 101%
i friggen love this band and always will im 55 and this music will never grow old
60 here and same
Dude's vocals are on point.... 💥💥
Elvis Presley and Jimi Jamison, two amazing voices from Memphis!
The 80s and the 60s were the best time for music
All decades had their great sounds. Older generations would swear by the big bands, younger generations would swear by Elvis and his contemporaries. The 60s, 70s, and 80s all have their defenders. As for me, I grew up in the 60's and 70s. But I have learned to appreciate music from different eras.
The 80’s look better and better everyday
Ain't that the truth!
Just as good as the 80’s!
I meant the 70’s! 😊
Wow! What a song...what a voice! It brings back some beautiful memories of the 80's. I'm just sorry Jimi is no longer with us; he will certainly never be forgotten. His music lives on.

when music really was music!!!
so glad i was a teen through these days :)
Me too!! Brings back so many great memories!!
Your comment is so true!
lucky you =)
You're right-- today's music I crap compared to this
I was a teenager during the early and mid 1980's and the music was great but the music today is really good too. I love Pink and there are plenty of other great bands out there as well
The 1990's sucked big time.
This is just plain rock music with great, poetic lyrics. This guy was a poetic genius.
I think for Survivor, Jim Peterik wrote most of the lyrics. He has mentioned in the past that his lyrics were a bit "purple prose". Sometimes Frankie Sullivan would suggest a lyric change that it would make it less so. With the Peterik co-written songs by other groups and singers I don't necessarily know what lyrics he wrote/co-wrote. Though, a .38 Special fan did say that .38 Special members tended to write the music and Peterik the lyrics in the songs that they co-wrote together.
This song is Awesome in every sense of the world. Its just one of those very special ones for me. Class of 81
One of the most underrated singers ever.
Absolutely, Peter, I agree 1000%. Criminally underrated, even with the success they had. There was just a unique energy and fire in that voice that was all his own. I sometimes thought of him as a light rock version of Ronnie James Dio. Thank you for supporting his legacy and memory. Rock on.
tr76r5gh6 Trash music! My music is way better! ua-cam.com/video/-X0y2DfsKIo/v-deo.html
Absolutely. Just a gorgeous voice!
@@deprofundis3293 Incredibly beautiful. Such feeling and passion. I love it when people appreciate that sound.
@@yotubek ❤️ same!
Jimi Jamison and Steve Perry are incomparable!!!
lou gramm too
I just listen to Steve Perry and thought about Jimi Jamison.
Jimi was a huge fan of Steve Perry as am I. I'm so glad that we atleast still have Perry and that he decided to put out a album after being away from the music industry for over 20yrs because he still has that incredible voice!
@@kennethmcmahan609 Jamison, at his best, was better than Steve Perry. This song represents Jamison at his best...cool that Perry's still around, though. "Traces" was allright, no more, but a nice treat, just because....
I love both of them ❤️nothing compares to them nowadays
Thank you for writing this song and singing it every concert you do. The message is an eye-opener. Keep rocking and spreading word. Stand up and defend yourself or reach out for help. We are here.
