R I P Colin Vearncombe aka BLACK, tragically taken from us far too young 5 years ago today, a brilliant singer, a Liverpool music legend, Colin, your music will live forever.
I didn't know and I'm very, very sad. I'm listening to my old cassettes and my favourite song for all time is WONDERFUL Life. I was feeling so glad I found it again after years. Now I'm feeling extremely sad! What a waste! But maybe he's gone on to somewhere higher than this life?
@@suzannestevens8257, не сомневайся, он сделал слишком много хорошего😇, сейчас он дома. Он заслужил счастье быть дома. Я общаюсь с духами, он откликается..❤.
I bought this album in 1987 when I was 15. Life happened and some 30 years later I find myself listening to the whole album again and knowing all the lyrics off by heart after 3 decades. From Boy to man and it still feels like it never went away.
This song gets me everytime. Reminds me of being a kid in Liverpool and going through the agonies we all go through with relationships. His voice was liquid gold. RIP our Colin.
The minor 3rd bass over the major chord at 0:42 and 1:02 is absolute genius. There was so much "Jazz" going on in 80's pop songs. That same minor 3rd note is then used again by the bass for the flat 7 of the V chord before resolving back to the Tonic. They don't write pop songs like this anymore.
Words of wisdom at last... I wonder what you might think of Tanita Tikaram's "For all these years" ua-cam.com/video/2hx9d3CLR3s/v-deo.html Another pop hit singer hiding some secret gem in their albums. As you mentioned, Jazz was implied in bunch of B-side like songs back in those days.
Black o voce calda,sentimentala,cu o amprenta deosebita de neconfundat,minunata.Este omare placere sa -l asculti ! Dumnezeu sa -l odihneasca in pace!😢❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
This songs speaks to me everytime I listen to it. Even in 2020. The very first time I heard it was in 1987 whilst being a student and in love. Magical times.
Какая же прекрасная песня, я слушаю её на повторе...она так отражает моё настроение, мой внутренний голос... Нет слов, чтобы выразить как душа плачет и хочет улететь...
My favourite Black song and one of the early releases. I enjoy the way the song flows in a very melancholic, restrained and sensitive way. You can almost picture the protagonist, "with my head in my hands". Another underrated dimension to him was his artwork, posters and album covers. The black imagery in working class environments lends an element of earthiness.
I remember the first time I saw Colin perform this... it was on tops of the pops when everyone was lip syncing. He did it live and sounded perfect... true talent!
Colin, quante volte, da ragazza, ho sognato di te, ascoltando questa incantevole canzone...le lacrime mi scendono copiose, il mio cuore ancora oggi grida il tuo nome!!!😭💔Requiescant in pace, carissimo...
Какая нежная песня, почему не знала до сегодняшнего дня про эту песню? А Колина просто влюбилась, когда то жил такой светлый человек, спасибо тебе за твои песни и божественный голос!
Да, именно нежная. Удивительно, что мужчина смог так нежно и в то же время по-мужски сдержанно выразить эмоции в песне. А сам какой приятный, заглядение!
Это красивая песня, он был ирландцем и очень особенным человеком. Он погиб в автокатастрофе, когда ехал в аэропорт в 2016 году в такси. Так грустно, как он был велик. Мир вам также, я надеюсь, что вы в порядке.
Бог мой....даже не знала о существовании этой песни! Это прекрасно! Восторг! Просто наслаждаюсь.....всегда считала Колина героем и достоянием одного шедевра,а тут случайно наткнулась на что-то невероятное! Кайф!👍
The legendary, great, unforgettable artist Black is one of my iconic music artists, such a wonderful man passed away so young, so early, the death of great music artists is not only for me, but also for so many, many music lovers is very painful, you have the intensive, sad feelings, as if you lost one of your familymembers, one of your great, lovely relativies. The very early dead of Black was for me very painful. Orhan Baki, Senlikköy- Istanbul.
Myself & my family loved Black.. Everything is coming up roses was my favourite followed by I just grew tired.. Rest in peace Colin & thank you.. Hope you had “A Wonderful Life”
Одна из любимых песен детства. Потерял касету, не знал исполнителя и не мог её найти. Так с 90-х и жила в памяти. Удивительно, столько слушал Wonderful Life, а оказывается она была совсем рядом.
Was thinking about Colin and this song the other day and I had to revisit his beautiful music and remind myself how wonderful he was. Can't believe that it's been a few years since he passed. His Music will not be forgotten.
I think my heart must be made of clay, 'Cause everyone said it would be broken some day, And now I've come to that fateful day, So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands, And don't tell me how to make it pay, I write a new song every day, I just wish I was made of wood, I might not feel pain, even if I should, Even if I should, If I should The sweetest smile that ever did. Melt the pats in the butter dish. And if you could have believed in me. I swear to God I'd have made damn sure. Our hearts were warm, And glad with wine. I'd keep the doors locked all the time. I just wish I was made of wood. You might not seem glad. Even if you should. Even if you should If you should If you should If you should I think my heart must be made of clay. 'Cause everyone said it would be broken someday. Seems like I have come to that fateful day. So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands With my head in my hands With my head in my hands
What a guy he was. This song was played alot by myself in dark times together with wine and smokes. Made me feel good. And makes me smile listening to this now. RIP Colin.
Singurul mare post de radio particular care încă îi mai difuzează pe post această mare melodie originală în memoriam în semn de respect și aducere aminte ca un pios omagiu este postul meu preferat de radio romantic fm muzică nu zgomot și de aceea vi-l recomand să îl ascultați cu foarte mare plăcere CĂ merită. Dumnezeu să te odihnească în pace maestre black eterne regrete și sincere condoleante. Pentru că de câte ori o ascult această mare melodie originală mă unge pe suflet și îmi dă lacrimile fiindcă sânteti preferatul meu.
I’m 17 years old, and I just discovered this song. Didn’t expect it to be an 80s song, I listen to it once and I can’t stop listening to it now. 80s songs never disappoints, this is truly a masterpiece.
I was around your age when this first came out. I felt it immediately, it is heartbreakingly beautiful. Im glad that you found it, please keep playing it until you reach my age. I'll be 55 next month. I hope you have a life as happy as i have.
What a great voice. His songs were rather melancholic. I remember my mate not liking the sadness, so I kept playing them to wind him up. In fact I've just sent him the song all these years later. He was a good artist to be fair. Sad he passed.
Love you Colin from the deepest of my heart. I'll neverforget you, you'll be in my heart for the rest of my life I swear. Would have known you much better before..., your songs are unforgivable, forever and ever. with love ❤ Luisa
@@damian-795 Sadly it still removes a little colour from the world when they pass. I have said the same about artists I do not like, because despite my personal thoughts on their work they had talent and courage to present it to the world.
Headphones, maximum volume, eyes closed...and this song..food for soul! Thank you..i have a smile on my face each time i put it! This song is a unique piece of high art!❤
I can’t stop playing this in my head. Know a wonderful life was a massive hit for him but for me personally this is his best . so haunting, yet beautifully sung as it resonated with me on a personal level a few years ago. Rest in peace Colin

What a shame. RIP.

I have loved this song since the 80's. Now that I'm 52 years of age I still love it. Such an amazing and beautiful song.
Where did all those years go?
We're all on a one way dance to the grave.
Q bom q o amor à boa música e qq idade andam juntas né?!❤❤❤
Oh God, the same age and same feeling...
same age, same sentiment hahaha
Me to
One of those rare songs, that literally gives you goose-bumps.
Each and every time I hear it.
The song was played severe times on my local radio station the day Princess Diana died.
Absolutely
I wish i would know this guy for a little bit longer, met him at the Dublin airport. One of the best!
I bought this album in 1987 when I was 15. Life happened and some 30 years later I find myself listening to the whole album again and knowing all the lyrics off by heart after 3 decades. From Boy to man and it still feels like it never went away.
I also bought IT in 87 with 21years old, and i still have it! :-)
I did too RIP Colin xxx
Светлая память тебе, дорогой человек. Моя молодость с этой песней. Спасибо интернету и неравнодушным людям
Timeless masterpiece
A great artist by all means who didn't get the fame he deserved. Rest in peace Colin...
Roland Francis True but fame is not always so great
Too true Roland Francis
Great singer. .....sadly missed...
I love him sow much.R.I.P...Black...
fame is people who give him, hence the reason that shows how many people really know music......
جميل... وجميل بل راءع هيا نبتسم هيا نرقص هيا نحب رغم كل الالم ... ابدي.....الحب من الجزاءر..
This song gets me everytime. Reminds me of being a kid in Liverpool and going through the agonies we all go through with relationships. His voice was liquid gold. RIP our Colin.
Yeah, but we always have the choice to advance or yield to our lusts - driving that "relationship" word you throw around like lead false teeth.
Brilliant artist, great talent who never received adequate level of recognition, that is very pitiful
Great comment.
Colin Vearncombe... such a talent, so ignored. What a voice.
Pas tout à fait quand même. Black à eu un énorme succès en France vers 1987. Un immense compositeur et chanteur.
@@jimmylecann8066 Well, that's easy for you to say...
Unforgettable... His songs remind me of many special moments in my life when I was much younger. Miss you.

And also everything Beverly Craven has ever done.
Wonderfull music. Thank you Colin. RIP
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and i am grateful !!!
Colin had the sweetest smile….beautiful voice
Хорошо что это было в наше время, в незабвенные 90-е. Нам повезло! Мы навсегда будем ассоциировать то время и наши чувства с этими песнями.
Ok tak, oj tak, jak mówią Czesi - to se ne vrati 🤔
Black o voce calda,sentimentala,cu o amprenta deosebita de neconfundat,minunata.Este omare placere sa -l asculti ! Dumnezeu sa -l odihneasca in pace!😢❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
He's with the angels.
This songs speaks to me everytime I listen to it. Even in 2020. The very first time I heard it was in 1987 whilst being a student and in love. Magical times.
I was 18 when this was out. Young and in love. Great days. Even though I'm older, I'm lucky to still be in love, but with someone else.
Likewise
Such a haunting yet melodic song. Vastly underated singer/songwriter who left us too soon
Залез в душу, вывернул, как .....столькл лет назад. Это гений....
There are not enough tears in this world for me to cry with this song. Just.. why.. why i'm still alive? I'm in that fatefull day..
How do you feel today?..
Какая же прекрасная песня, я слушаю её на повторе...она так отражает моё настроение, мой внутренний голос... Нет слов, чтобы выразить как душа плачет и хочет улететь...
Спасибо, вы рассказали о моих чувствах
Mam podobnie, przykleił się do mnie ten kawałek ostatnio i słucham go często. Pozdrawiam

Superb and classic song by a brilliant artist. Sadly missed.
Darren Hillman agree

Человек, который до 25 лет сделал всё, что должен был сделать в своей жизни... 🌍❤️
His music evokes a mood like very few songs can, perfect for a gray, melancholic evening where you lose yourself on your thoughts and nostalgia
Colin, quante volte, da ragazza, ho sognato di te, ascoltando questa incantevole canzone...le lacrime mi scendono copiose, il mio cuore ancora oggi grida il tuo nome!!!😭💔Requiescant in pace, carissimo...

Music has kept me alive all my life, it`s the only thing that truely makes sense. The food of Love.
Never heard that quote before , but it's so incredibly true 💔
Non personne ne reste. Foutaises.
why his songs are so underrated..
In certe sue esibizioni dal vivo, come mi faceva male sentire il pubblico fischiarlo... Che pugnalata, per me... Colin, povero caro... 😢💔😭
Maybe cause its not that catchy as Wonderful life, is..
Still a fantastic song.
Светлая память настоящему Художнику Музыки......Поэту Музыки.....)Благодарим.....)
Бог мой....даже не знала о существовании этой песни! Это прекрасно! Восторг! Просто наслаждаюсь.....всегда считала Колина героем и достоянием одного шедевра,а тут случайно наткнулась на что-то невероятное! Кайф!👍
Согласна с вами! ❤️
Люди начинают благодаря ютубу знакомится с людьми мы узнавали через записи и тД итп
интернет творит чудеса!) наберите в ютубе Black - I'm Not Afraid
Также произошло и со мной
Слушаю его этой осенью.Пора уже уходить из этого грустно- романтического состояния..
Но невозможно!
A haunting song, sung by an incredible voice - and the opening solo is just beautiful !
Thank you colin for being a part of my Life. You will be missed but your music will live on forever

Как хорошо, что можно найти это в ютюб. Благодарю. То что сейчас преподносят - капец
Прекрасно, как и все, что он создал
О Господи.Какая красивая песня.Жаль что этого человека с нами больше нет.(((
Черный в душе оказался таким светлым,мы помним тебя ,спасибо за поэзию музыки.

Once heard , never forgotten .

Paradise is one of my favourites.
I haven't listened to this for over 20 years easily, still remember all of the words. Black were so underrated, Great songs. RIP Colin
Beautiful song!
Как жаль...до слёз. Покойся с миром. Песня проникает до каждой клеточки моего существа...как жаль
No te hizo falta ser mediático pero tus grandes canciones quedarán en el recuerdo de quienes disfrutamos de tu música.
Siiii!.... Desde Colombia.
May he rest in his peace forever. In my heart he will stay forever.❤

I might not feel pain, even if I should,
Even if I should,
If I should
The sweetest smile that ever did.
Melt the pats in the butter dish.
And if you could have believed in me.
I swear to God I'd have made damn sure.
Our hearts were warm,
And glad with wine.
I'd keep the doors locked all the time.
I just wish I was made of wood.
You might not seem glad.
Even if you should.
Even if you should
If you should
If you should
If you should
I think my heart must be made of clay.
'Cause everyone said it would be broken someday.
Seems like I have come to that fateful day.
So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands
With my head in my hands
With my head in my hands
RIP, genuinely moved when I found out you had passed away.
What a beautiful voice and so sad to know he has been taken away at such a young age🥲🩷
rest in piece , timeless music that will never die .
This is wonderful, it reminds me of The captain of her heart ❤, another wonderful song 🎵 ❤
I never heard that song before. Very touching
Ты остался в сердце очень давно. Спасибо тебе!
Спасибо, ещё раз...
His voice melted pats in the butter dish.
He got some stick for that line in some quarters - one reviewer thought it was too middle-class a reference!
@@MrJonno85 I thought that it was a brilliant line. I think that I "got it" at the time.
What a guy he was. This song was played alot by myself in dark times together with wine and smokes. Made me feel good. And makes me smile listening to this now. RIP Colin.
I don't know why, but that soprano saxophone makes me cry. RIP Colin. Taken from us too soon.
Beautiful one.
Brilliant.
One of my favourite singers of the 80s
such a beatiful song
