This song is an absolute triumph and masterpiece like everyone says, this band is just so stunningly beautiful it’s unbelievable they are nor given far more credits
I recall back around then the UK TV station Channel 4 used to close down around midnight. After they’d closed down, they’d often play some random or weird video, almost as it the person on transmission control just ran it - no announcement or caption etc. One night after waiting a few mins with a blank screen, this came in. Blew me away. I couldn’t wait next day to get the album out and play it on my radio programme!
Love this, I was young, it was the 80s and I thought I was the collect thing around. Brilliant brilliant into. Superb band Heaven 17 - And That's No Lie
Just occasionally The Tube did something brilliant, and this one off 10 minute video is seared in my memory as the peak of that great show. Had it on VHS, sadly no more. Heaven 17's magnum opus, truly superb. Not a note wasted.
Thanks for the video! Ever since I lost my vinyl record player, I haven't been able to hear this version of the song! And now I can do it again as often as I want! Hooray.... 🤩 🥳
I too remember watching and recording this on my long defunct VHS tape! Thought it was gone forever, thank you for allowing me to re-live my 80’s youth!
Just heard that Claudia Fontaine, the background singer, died in 2018. I feel very sorry for that. On the other hand, I am happy to see John Wilson, the bass guitar player, in this video.
But when the fire goes out The dark starts moving in And that's the truth Right now you're on the stand And I feel like the judge Who needs the proof? The slaves of truth It was on every face in town But I would not understand Waiting for the news Will it ever come my way? I won't be beat, not in a thousand years I'll never lose, if I can prove you're not the one Just leave me now, you're making my blood run cold The word is out, so go, your feet won't touch the ground Now that she has gone I've got to shake the pain, act like a man The sweetness that's inside Will slowly die away Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end Just shut your mouth, make room for someone new So guess who's back, it's happy Jack, and that's no lie How was I to know? So discreet, no-one speaks Take the word from here If you play you've got to pray Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end I won't be beat, not in a thousand years Just leave me now, you make my blood run cold The word is, the word is out
I remeber watching this when it originally aired and I went out and bought the LP next day just to get this track. So cool, even now and it's my favourite Heaven 17 song. Thanks for the upload :D I wont have to wait another 33 years to watch the video now it's on youtube!
Saw this on its first showing back in the day as a young teenager it was a wow moment then to think of how this whole arrangement was put together, it has everything words,synth, guitar,bass plus coolest backing singers - this would hold up today 2024 very impressive. Thank you Heaven 17.
A classic! Never forgotten. Bringing back an intense period of my life, fist fights with a good friend.... over a girl.... I married her. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Black eyes mend. Friendships endure. Amen.
@ flashbackcaruso: THANK YOU SO MUCH, you made my day! I've spent more than 30 years to find this amazing song. I forgot the title...and that's no lie! ;)
Confession time. My teenage years were formative in the way that I knew of so much Great music and it was mostly coming from the UK. Needless to say, I'm here because we owe a sincere debt to this Great Group. I lived in the 'united states' during the 1980's when there was so much great music to learn and sing plus discover, regardless of genre. Perhaps there was backlash due to Heaven 17 having no guitar or bass, but synths. Well, that was bullshit then and even more so today. Finally, any band that derives their name from a S. Kubrick film is tops with me. And I don't believe there was any mention of the music store in the actual A Clockwork Orange novel. If I'm mistaken, I stand accused. But, this is in praise of Heaven 17.
There are dozens is not hundreds of awesome bands from the 80s and 90s that were never heard because they weren't critterling offspring of the Families, and so couldn't get the time of day from Cabal-swallowed record-labels and radio-stations.
I thought Mo Foster played bass on this (he's the only bass player credited on the album) but that's not him in the video. I wonder if the guy in the video (who is he?) played on this track, or if Mo couldn't make the video shoot so they got a stand in?
I think John Wilson did play on some of the tracks (Mo did the gorgeous fretless on 'The Skin I'm In') including this one. He did all of the bass (and some if not all of the guitar) on the first two albums.
@@funkmike It's deffo John Wilson on the audio here. I've copped his licks for years. I wonder where he is now? Never seen anything from him other than H17.
An absolute masterpiece. Total 80's perfection. And still wonderful in 2024
This is heaven. This is Heaven 17
Still touring, still brilliant
And nobody's mentioned the STELLAR backing vocals of the mighty Afrodiziak!!! AMAZING tune!!! A true CLASSIC!!!
This song is an absolute triumph and masterpiece like everyone says, this band is just so stunningly beautiful it’s unbelievable they are nor given far more credits
Dope tune : proper, when the fire goes out the dark starts moving in …. Proper tune
I've loved this track from the first time I saw on the tube back in the 80s. A masterpiece of the era!
Why was this not a hit? Crazy

My favourite H17 track, fantastic listening with a good pair of headphones.........
2021 (y)

I saw this at the time in 1984. I bought the album and I am still playing it.
10 minutes of awesomeness - certainly stands
the test of time - why is this not a world classic ?
No, start thinking 150 + years to stand the test of tine e.t.c.? One of my current favourites though:)
Fucking great this, absolutely outstanding. Grew up with this on my Walkman, it's not lost anything, just wow.
@@vthomas375 it will attest
@@izpozpeeps We'd like to think so :)
I remember recording this on VHS from the tube, and subsequently lost it to the years, so glad it is now here forever. Great song

80s Masterpiece
Harps n all - plus the Afrodiziak backing vox. Simply brilliant.
An almighty THANK YOU!
An absolute anthem, thank you for this!! Glenn Gregory, one of the most underated vocalists
Shhh…there’s no actual rating system.
Isn’t it the track for that perfect moment of time...!
The truest thing ever relying for better people’s life ?
Touch the ground...!
🙏

Who says Shit Like that?
The Man's Dead ;(
You need help Bro.........................................
Yeah I remember her now. She was in Soul II Soul.
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo dude! A lot of the artists from the 80s era been dropping like flies.
It is a world classic
Ancora bellissima ed unica. Non invecchia.
But when the fire goes out
The dark starts moving in
And that's the truth
Right now you're on the stand
And I feel like the judge
Who needs the proof?
The slaves of truth
It was on every face in town
But I would not understand
Waiting for the news
Will it ever come my way?
I won't be beat, not in a thousand years
I'll never lose, if I can prove you're not the one
Just leave me now, you're making my blood run cold
The word is out, so go, your feet won't touch the ground
Now that she has gone
I've got to shake the pain, act like a man
The sweetness that's inside
Will slowly die away
Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
Just shut your mouth, make room for someone new
So guess who's back, it's happy Jack, and that's no lie
How was I to know?
So discreet, no-one speaks
Take the word from here
If you play you've got to pray
Who do you think you are? You're making a fool of me
Make no mistake, this is no fake, this is the end
I won't be beat, not in a thousand years
Just leave me now, you make my blood run cold
The word is, the word is out
❤❤❤❤❤
This is their MASTERPIECE!
This was good 80s music😊
Their best!
As fresh today as it ever was 😍😍🎵 Chewwwwn
I remeber watching this when it originally aired and I went out and bought the LP next day just to get this track.

A big H17 fan and this is my favourite track! Thanks for sharing 👍
Mine too ❤
True beauty!
Easily one of their best songs, cleverly constructed with powerful lyrics.
What a masterpiece ! The sound in the first 30 seconds remind me of a scene in the classic science fiction movie 2001 A Space Odyssey
6:16 - 7:30 is just pure magic
know exactly where before I've even got there
Saw this on its first showing back in the day as a young teenager it was a wow moment then to think of how this whole arrangement was put together, it has everything words,synth, guitar,bass plus coolest backing singers - this would hold up today 2024 very impressive. Thank you Heaven 17.
This was and is a BLAST! Words missing...-

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. ABSOLUTE LONGEVITY

Capolavoro.
A classic! Never forgotten. Bringing back an intense period of my life, fist fights with a good friend.... over a girl.... I married her. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Black eyes mend. Friendships endure. Amen.

Musicisti!

Epic. Nuff said!
