+Evonne Okafor Yeah, where they ever - folks in the industry knew how incredible they where, but they didn't break quite as big with the public as they should've: Peter Cox's voice is in the same rarified league of Darryl Hall - and that alone is a one in a million thing.
+CusterFlux so true what you say. and the thing I love about peter cox is, even nowadays his voice sounds as good as it always has. and some astists lose the spark. He hasnt. :-)
They had a very good run here in Australia and a ton of hits, so they were I guess fortunate. Unlike fellow Chrysalis stablemates The Babys. They were fucked over by Chrysalis and a crying shame as they were totally amazing. Further success obviously came to John Waite (talking of great singers) through solo and Bad English.
Richard Thompson Whenever You hear this song again, hopefully You will remember how much joy that it brought to Your Dad, and that it comforts You as well knowing that You Both have great taste in Music. It's true what Wise People say: Music is one of the few things known that can transport People to other times and places instantly, and can soothe the Human Mind unlike anything else known! Peace!
… not just a great song, but some of the best lyrics to come out of the 80s: lightening struck twice here - and that's rarely by accident, these guys where TALENTED!
The 2000's generation can't fathom what it was like when this song was on the radio and simultaneously rocking the nightclubs cranked waaay up. The energy-- the electricity in the air- the dancing... You can't find that kind of honest energy today.
This was my boyhood band growing up! Played this album on cassette over and over and over again! So love Go West. Still listen them to this day and I'm now 41. Wish they were still around. So much better than the rubbish out these days long live the 80s!!
Childhood memories of 1985. One of those lost gems that pops in your head for no apparent reason, lol! Good ole 80's classic. The video is still hilarious, tho.
I knew this son because of channel 68 (U68) NY/NJ. I was one of the few black kids that listened to pop music on a regular in the 80s. LOL!!! Listen to all types of music as long as it sounds good to my ears.
john hughes Agreed! While We are on this train of thought, it would be great for Young People of this Generation to learn about the vastly different styles of Music during Their School's Lunch and Recess Periods, and make 'The More You Know' Commercials*(Sorry for ripping off that title from NBC*) featuring what Music was popular during that Time. When Education is made to be fun and not like an actual chore, People will learn effortlessly, and love it, like the lessons We learned from ABC'S ''Schoolhouse Rock', from the 1970's!

Inside everyone hides one desire Outside no one would know Danger close to edge of the knife Safer not to let go And while we miss chances You can almost hear time slipping away We close our eyes we never lose a game Imagination never lets us take the blame We close our eyes to see the final frame We close our eyes to time slipping away No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine She knows just what to say While no one listens You can almost hear time slipping away We close our eyes we never lose a game Imagination never lets us take the blame We close our eyes to see the final frame We close our eyes and We can talk to strangers We are burning with the spark And we can walk on water We are tigers in the dark We are burning We close our eyes Heroes never give into the night He knows how far he can run And as he surrenders You can almost hear time slipping away We close our eyes we never lose a game Imagination never lets us take the blame We close our eyes to see the final frame We close our eyes
I know no-one's gonna give a shit, but the instrumentation in this song is fucking awesome. All the countermelody stuff going on in the background is a wall to wall smorgasbord of 80's synth ear candy. Mastercraft songwriting!
fl00d I do give a shit, this is my fav synth album of all time, and Go West are one of the most underrated acts of all time and one of my fav artists too:) Heck, they wud hav been far more successful had the 2nd album syndrome not struck them. The synth work on this album is just perfect, and so are Peter's vocals. All songs in this album are just master class..
I love this song. I really can identify with the words of this song, We Close Our Eyes. Thank you for helping to reinforce the good lessons my parents taught me, and my loving siblings reminded me of too, all valuable lessons. Go West is among one of my favorite music groups.

This is such a great song. One of those lost classics. This song needs played on classic rock radio more often. For a second there it looked like he was going to play the guitar with his teeth like Jimi Hendrix would sometimes do.
"i know, while i stand there looking manly and rugged with my wrench, you try and fend off attacking things while giant manaquins do a weird dance thing in the background, sound good?"
Well, whatever they did it worked. I remember when this video hit the music channels. It was odd from the get go, but still kinda fascinating - maybe BEAUSE it was odd. Didn't seem to be made with a big budget even back then, but the numbers & the strange wrench dancing etc worked.

@@Deano1985100 First off, I resent that, two, disrespectful, three, is it so hard to not be so close minded, four, i dont listen to storm, five why would i be commenting on this great song if i "didnt have good taste in music" when thats a subjective thing. All im saying is that you shouldent immediately dismiss modern music just because of the surface level, older music had its duds as well

Lol, I've never seen it, I heard my da blasting this shit, on his top of line at the time hi-fi, and level 42, and the police, and simple minds, and so on and so on etc...
"Hey Hot Dog, next time let's rip off a Ferrari. This thing's got no class." "Just like you airhead." Demons is one of the greatest horror gems ever. Love that movie!
I still love love love this song. They were a very underrated act, although successful.
Peter Cox has an amazing voice.
They were underrated.
+Evonne Okafor Yeah, where they ever - folks in the industry knew how incredible they where, but they didn't break quite as big with the public as they should've: Peter Cox's voice is in the same rarified league of Darryl Hall - and that alone is a one in a million thing.
+CusterFlux so true what you say. and the thing I love about peter cox is, even nowadays his voice sounds as good as it always has. and some astists lose the spark. He hasnt. :-)
+CusterFlux Have to agree but think the musical climate at the time that they did not fit in which is a shame.

They were fucked over by Chrysalis and a crying shame as they were totally amazing. Further success obviously came to John Waite (talking of great singers) through solo and Bad English.
In my opinion Go West are probably the most underrated band of all time. This is also my favourite song
Love the 80’s . Growing up with this music brings back so many memories .
And guess what my name is ? Lol
You would have better memories of those times than anyone else indeed.
Ahh the 80's I miss it so much. The best music.
I'm close to losing my dad and I remember him whistling this tune a lot when I was younger, that brought me here.
It's a hell of a catchy tune.
Richard Thompson Whenever You hear this song again, hopefully You will remember how much joy that it brought to Your Dad, and that it comforts You as well knowing that You Both have great taste in Music.

I lost my dad to life's shit ain't it
Dad's gone now but you have this song to remember him by!
This was classic MTV at it's best!
Russell Penn
Mid 1980s pop at it's best.
+Russell Penn true that
Great tune. If you didnt grow up in the 80s I feel bad for you.
yes the best era ever ! no internet nor mobile phone but great music ....
You know bro. I always wanted to grow up in the 60's for some reason. 🤷♂️
Omg yeah it is a great song
I was born in December 1982 and I really miss the 80s. I wish to live that real decade all over again.
I also would miss the house prices
… not just a great song, but some of the best lyrics to come out of the 80s: lightening struck twice here - and that's rarely by accident, these guys where TALENTED!
No doubt about it! One of the very best!
The 2000's generation can't fathom what it was like when this song was on the radio and simultaneously rocking the nightclubs cranked waaay up. The energy-- the electricity in the air- the dancing... You can't find that kind of honest energy today.
One of my favourite songs and bands of the entire '80's! Lol This song never gets old.
This is THE best song ever and 1985 was an awesome year. Damn I miss those days
The 80s was fucking fantastic
+anne watson Seriously was.
+Scott Basham what are you talking about? I replied to a guys statement that the 80's were fantastic and i said they were. You need to re read.
The 80s was FILLED with this kind of terrific music, they have no idea today, NONE, ZERO!
+Scott Basham Troll.
it was the best time anne but sorry it never come back:(
You can't beat a sweaty man proudly swinging his wrench around.
@Tom Ripley Awesome comment bro !!! LOL
:-D
Ratchet, is that you?
💋🌈
I never noticed that's what he was swinging around, lol.
Brilliant!
This was my boyhood band growing up! Played this album on cassette over and over and over again! So love Go West. Still listen them to this day and I'm now 41. Wish they were still around. So much better than the rubbish out these days long live the 80s!!
SOOOOOOOO many memories with this tune. I want this played at my funeral, get the bastards dancing lol
I second that!!!
dannyboyspain1 all with pipe wrenches?? Awesome.
That was a classic 1985
I love 80's music and I LOVE Go West. Both of these guys are finer now than they were when they were younger. Thanks for the memories!!!
Childhood memories of 1985. One of those lost gems that pops in your head for no apparent reason, lol! Good ole 80's classic.
The video is still hilarious, tho.
I knew this son because of channel 68 (U68) NY/NJ. I was one of the few black kids that listened to pop music on a regular in the 80s. LOL!!! Listen to all types of music as long as it sounds good to my ears.
Amanda Kamara and that’s exactly what music is all about.
Awe, good ole 80's Synth'ey sounds, husky vocals + legendary vid'.💪
This was a breakthrough eighties hit by Go West that brought a lot of airplay on MTV. Love this track, Love this group.
there's no age on good music taste!!!!!
john hughes Agreed! While We are on this train of thought, it would be great for Young People of this Generation to learn about the vastly different styles of Music during Their School's Lunch and Recess Periods, and make 'The More You Know' Commercials*(Sorry for ripping off that title from NBC*) featuring what Music was popular during that Time. When Education is made to be fun and not like an actual chore, People will learn effortlessly, and love it, like the lessons We learned from ABC'S ''Schoolhouse Rock', from the 1970's!
Listened to it a million times and still not sick of it.
I did not exist when these great 80's songs came out...I wish I could go back in time to live this great time!!! :(
It was an amazing time...... I was a sophmore in high school when this came out!
It was a good time to be young and free and the music was really music!!! Miss those days!!!!
I was only 8, but still good times!
Peter Cox is a criminally underrated singer.
Peter Cox.... Jesus, had such a crush on him... He's even hotter today❤️
Yeah I had crush on him too.Him in this video, sweaty and oh so hot.I could just eat him.
Me too, and true!
Me too!!!! ❤❤❤
fab song I was 26 when it came out..💜❤💛💙💚
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
Great tune... When you listen to the lyrics it really evokes pipe wrenches and giant figure drawing dolls... er, wait, WHAT!?!?
I was 15 when this song came out. Love it then, love it now.
+Chord TheSeeker Im currently 14 and this song is one of my favorites
If that doesn't tell you my taste in music I don't know what will
Superb taste for a 21st century teenager.
Rob Williams Do you have a problem with that?
Rosto That was a compliment.
Rob Williams Ok it sounded slightly....sarcastic
80's music helps me relive my childhood! THANKS FOR THESE!!
Awesome song! I had forgotten all about it. I haven't heard it for 15 years or more.
there are small of the songs maybe 5 or 10 that I could listen to it and over and over and get never tired of it. congrats Go West.
came for the wrench...was not dissapointed
for some reason this song popped in my head. it still sounds great
I wasn't even born when this song came out yet I still love it!
such a good tune... 80's heart breaking
I love with all my soul the way of making music with synthesizers of the 80's, I loved this song since I heard it in that 1985, and I was 11 years old
Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away
No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and
We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark
We are burning
We close our eyes
Heroes never give into the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes

Stephen Birks Go West, T'Pau, and Nik Kershaw? Sounds like a great show!

Ernesto Moran get a grip mate lol
Ernesto Moran I loved a Jennifer in this year too! Will always remember her!
30 years later, loved this time of my life. Happy 60th birthday Pete even though you don't look it.
Shut...up! 60? No way!
Well he’s 62 now. Still pretty fit I might add ;)

OMG I finally found this song! What a masterpiece in 80s!
Was 13 when this was released. The 80’s were pretty damn amazing...
ooohhhh the memories of youth gone forever... love it.
Peter Cox has one of the strongest voices in rock music history 👍🏻🎤🎼
Those synths sounds were state of the art for 1985....The record still sounds F'ing Great!
1980s were the best Fact 😃
Welsh Wizard It's been scientifically proven to be not just the best but the greatest decade, fact.
Minus Margaret Thatcher! She stole our school milk the bitch.
Nick haywarf
60s were better
Boy do I miss the eighties, high school, carefree and amazing music, I used to close my eyes....
The acting/dancing of the backing dancers is very WOODEN!
Ha ha.
lmao
dude has a black soulful voice. a good thing ofcourse
Great song

When I first heard and loved this number I didn't quite appreciate what it was about but now I love it even more. Still brilliant some years later!
"i know, while i stand there looking manly and rugged with my wrench, you try and fend off attacking things while giant manaquins do a weird dance thing in the background, sound good?"
+Dannie Spokes Sounds like a good idea. Get back to me when you figured out what colour to use in the background.

In the era of literal videos, I'm astounded they didn't just close their eyes throughout the whole video. 😂😂😂😂
it would of been better if they did close their eyes.

I just heard this song again. I thought it was 1985 again. What a great era for music. Music will never be the same.
one of the best ever...!
That hook is infectious. The 80's fucking rocked
Still at least 100 times better than the crap that exists today.

Yep agree music now is absolute wank. Ignore the 2 idiots leave them to to listen to shit like stormzy.

I think this song is fukin cool. And probably like a lot of people first heard it on the classic movie, Demons.
riff tipton that movie had a kick ass soundtrack 🤘🏻
In the car w the gang! Hell ya bruh
