A beautiful ballad, it brings back such youthful memories. I was 20 years old when this song came out. Where the hell have all the years gone???? :((((
Its one of my favorites also..the intro is perfect and then once he starts to sing it feels like a warm blanket or some kind of emotional comfort.... Then the build and back to that soft keyboard...perfect use of build up and let down in this song...i guess like he says a wave.
The best song they ever did by a long long mile. I'm 55 now, but to me this one stood out and still stands out as a classic song of the eighties. But I'll go along with ludev1975, I just wish I could speak Polish....xx
i cant get over how much he smiles and yet seems to be ashamed of it. trying to hide it, or the moking look he gives at 2:24 like 'i know im smiling'... how genuinely happy he looks. is it because he cant believe how good he sounds? is it because of the excitement of a rise to fame? it makes me smile every time
Waves, then goodbye I live in a wafer thin dream I, I can cry You know that time, time's not kind But I remember the way we were Slow, slow sad love I wonder do you miss my love I know you can't It's just a wave passing over me What are these waves? They're coming over me It must be my destiny Waves, coming by Goodbye, goodbye
@ge0ffr0y Spot on. Scott Walker is a legend make no mistake. This song is without doubt one of the best of the 80s. Lyrically, fabulous. If this had some twangy guitars (which I like) and a sad lead singer story, it would be the stuff of legend. Superb. No doubt about it.
Wow - some footage of long forgotten Channel 4 pop series SWITCH - presented by Graham Fletcher as seen here. VERY LITTLE footage exists of this great programme which filled in for the far more celebrated THE TUBE when the latter was on its summer breaks. SWITCH first aired in 1983 and then lasted another series in 1984 but sadly that was it. Does anybody else know more about the various presenters from that programme? It showcased some really decent stuff as well, post punk, psychobilly, electronic, the new jazz boho scene [Sade, EBTG, Animal Nightlife, Carmel] etc etc....
busterabcat hi, i used to work there , on building the stage sets, good times, got two autograph books filled with unknowns at the time who went on to become household names
Find out where she is, Moon Man. Perhaps via Facebook. Life's too short, it's good to reconnect even if as friends. She would be flattered that you still think of her, but she would want you to have had a good life.

Absolutely right !!
Correct - great tune

Beautiful music and there's nothing like it today.
was played at my mates wake, stephen white, hms ardent. r.i.p.
Such a underrated band in 80s
True, sad enough...
This song is so beautiful! I can almost cry
A beautiful ballad, it brings back such youthful memories. I was 20 years old when this song came out. Where the hell have all the years gone???? :((((
What a band, what a voice. Brilliant memory's
I ask myself the same .I miss the 80's every day.
Great song. An 80's gem still sounds fresh. Neil Arthur is the best.
Definitely as previous comments have pointed out, one of the greatest songs of the eighties
The best song ever... brings back so many memories...love it love it.
Its one of my favorites also..the intro is perfect and then once he starts to sing it feels like a warm blanket or some kind of emotional comfort.... Then the build and back to that soft keyboard...perfect use of build up and let down in this song...i guess like he says a wave.
@@annasloan2349 It's certainly class.
one of my favourite songs from back in the eighties.
Classic 80's ...epic tune!
2020 and that voice still sound good today.
My song, my best times, my memories. New wave benchmark
A most beautiful song and a most beautiful singer. C'mon back Arfur and Neil I miss you lots.
Quite simply one of my favourite tracks of all time. Amazing live version here. Thanks!
Beautiful song I love Neil Arthur x.
very few synth pop bands sounded this good live. Blancmange never got the credit they deserved!
My favourite Blancmange tune. He's got some pipes!
I love most of their stuff, but this has to be one of their best and it's stood the test of time! Seeing them again in September!!! Yip yip!!! ;)
Great song good times
Oh je,wie lange ist es her. Erinnerung an früher mit Pipi in den Augen. Wunderschön ❤
The best song they ever did by a long long mile. I'm 55 now, but to me this one stood out and still stands out as a classic song of the eighties. But I'll go along with ludev1975, I just wish I could speak Polish....xx
Gorgeousness ❤️🌻
Great performance.
Best intro ever imho. Awesome song!
one o the best songs ever
Beyond comparison. I love you guys for your music!!! Wish you were here🥺💕

Blancmange, John Foxx, Ultravox, OMD, Gary Numan, Yazoo,...now thats a tour I would love to see!
Great Voice
Saw them at Rock City ( Nottingham UK ) When they were top of their game..... They were Fooooking good, I can tell you.
Love this tune
just a beautiful song,the best of the nineteen 80s.
i cant get over how much he smiles and yet seems to be ashamed of it. trying to hide it, or the moking look he gives at 2:24 like 'i know im smiling'... how genuinely happy he looks. is it because he cant believe how good he sounds? is it because of the excitement of a rise to fame? it makes me smile every time

Waves, then goodbye
I live in a wafer thin dream
I, I can cry
You know that time, time's not kind
But I remember the way we were
Slow, slow sad love
I wonder do you miss my love
I know you can't
It's just a wave passing over me
What are these waves?
They're coming over me
It must be my destiny
Waves, coming by
Goodbye, goodbye
kult...polonia warszawa pozdrawiam

Spot on. Scott Walker is a legend make no mistake. This song is without doubt one of the best of the 80s. Lyrically, fabulous. If this had some twangy guitars (which I like) and a sad lead singer story, it would be the stuff of legend. Superb. No doubt about it.
thanks so much for this!
It sounds like they made this astonishing beautiful song for Ian...
Seems like yesterday

busterabcat hi, i used to work there , on building the stage sets, good times, got two autograph books filled with unknowns at the time who went on to become household names
ive got the single tucked away somewhere great song
I hear some pretty big similarities with The Field Mice's "Star Of David" here, though this came first. Great song.
untouchable
Posted for Bill, good luck, my freind! :)
Introduced by Graham Fletcher-Cook RIP. Dexter Fletcher's brother.
Classic. Easier to listen to this song rather than watch it.
good one... i can't remember the programme switch in the uk
💕💟💞
@PlasticDemons but you got the absolutely superb 12inch version of "game above my head" on the backside ;)
we didnt dance we held each other up
Great song,pity about the introduction,I guess that was his last.
Fab song....check out the haunting cover version by nouvelle vague
Waves are like life,flowing,coming ,going,highs ,lows Constance.....check out one thing about waves by dEUS
@afertyus1000 That's because it is classic!!!!
I split up with a girl to this song in 1986, I still think of her...
Find out where she is, Moon Man. Perhaps via Facebook. Life's too short, it's good to reconnect even if as friends. She would be flattered that you still think of her, but she would want you to have had a good life.
@ge0ffr0y me mam wen she 1st heard this she thought it was Scott Walker
Jim Maitland's song!
Up t'bloody tree.
Holy fuck. what happend to his head??? Love the group., where would we get the UK's twa... teachers??
