I was 17 when this come out I’m now 61. If u don’t like it you need a Covid test as you’ve no TASTE ! Classic song
lol
It's a beautiful haunting song, my favourite UB40 track
@@katehamilton7240 I agree, I love it. Have you heard Forever True?
😂😂😂 That's one quality comment!! Love it!! And been listening to these since before I can remember ❤
55 here. This was mind blowing growing up…..and now……
For me, this is the best song UB40 did. Original. Great saxophone; great lyrics and brilliant reggae!
L' album "sign off" est fabuleux.
La scène reggae anglaise de cette période était hyper riche (steel pulse, aswad, culture, gladiators...).
multiculti nonsense🤨
Cela me rappel Mes potes de l'armée ce morceau me rappel nos sauts en parachute dans le vide les belles années 80 une époque révolue a jamais.
Totally agree with you :D
I concur.
A haunting tale of Britain back in the day. Beautiful melancholia. ❤
41 years ago, and I still don't tire of listenig to this,
I'm 65 years old now and this is one of my all time
favourites.
Omg I'm 65 this year and this song holds very special and times for me and it gives me goosebumps
Same here
Ditto❤
Inner-City Birmingham, ca 1980, in musical form. They nailed it!
God bless the King of the sax. RIP Brian Travers.
I’ll second that Kathy.
✨💔 BRIAN.
He made this song what it is
Spot On the best RIP
I hope he is in heavan still playing the saxophone for god. He was so damn good and its a lost now that he is gone. R.I.P Brain Travers best saxophonist who has ever lived. I am glad and blessed to be able to hear him whit ub40.
The hardship we went through in the 80/90s in the UK lead to some proper music 💯 UK Regae and garage, acid and rave. Best times of my life. Listening to this makes me want to be skint and living again😂 1 in 10 again ❤
One of the best songs ever , RIP Brian
Food for thought is by far the very best of UB40
RIP+ Brian Travers❤
Authentic classic UB40
Hypnotic; iconic track.
A million hit songs but doubt they ever beat this. Just superb.
RIP Brian Travers; you and your musical legacy will never be forgotten
Another legend gone☹️
This is a time machine for me. Takes me back to walking around Moseley and Kings Heath in the summer of 1980 and it seemed to be coming from every window, great times at the Fighting Cocks, lying in the parks hammered on woodpecker, cycling everywhere, and always sunny, and the girls, the girls....
Sounds amazing
Ultimate description, respect
I like your style man ! 👌
Woodpecker... yes... nostalgia hurts
Cool memory❤
Such a magical time, amazingly talented group
❤❤ when I heard the start of this album years ago when I was maybe 14 I remember thinking it's gna be a good night love this always
Reggae as it should be: critical lyrics about societal abuses, catchy music and the pulsing bas lines. Magic
Up the Blues 💙
Soundtrack to my youth! Gives me chills. Literally transport me back to a time I wish I could relive. Epic band
This band got me through tough years as a teenager growing up in London went on to see them many times ave all the vinyl and 💿 love those Brummy boys ❤
best white reggae tune ever
Mixed reggae tune
@@SkunkGrinder why "mixed" ? .. because of mixed colored people ?
Yeah, white, black and brown folks
@@SkunkGrinder you are right
Roxanne xxxx
,🎵Oba deba dobber. 🎶
Love this song.
Think I was 10 or so when this was released. Well into my 50s now and loved this for 40 years or more. If I can do it, I’ll love it for another 40 years!
RIP Brian Travers, this is your song - and what a song! You certainly left your mark on this world. Sincere condolences to Brian's family, bandmates and friends. UTV.
Sad sad day. Brian will be much missed but fondly remembered. PUSB
100% agree. Lovely man terrific sax player
@@thewarwickbearI i8 Iliad I io I li I io
@@jeanoz7495 en francais svp !
Met him twice, spoke to him on messenger, such a wonderful humble human being. Brian was the real deal. No hairs or graces. He was a working class man from Smethwick West Midlands. Not too far from where I grew up.. Ub40 forever, for those whom know and understand the music, the times, regional predujice. Race, colour creed. These guys made magic happen, and if your like me, I'll love ub until my dying day.
Now this ladies and gentlemen is what I call true proper music
Me too!
Most Definitely man😊❤
‘Protest’ songs. Every generation thinks they were the first, but we had the Jam and these, can’t complain.
Exactly saif. Not like the absolute c**p we have to listen to nowadays.
🙌
Another great friend gone! May you RIP,
R.I.P. BRIAN 🎷❤🙏 BEST SAX PLAYER EVER ❣
Still listening in 2023 ❤
And 2024?
Memories.......
This was my late Fathers tribute song in the middle of his funeral, while looking at at 25 pictures. It was so wonderful thank you UB40 he was a huge reggae fan from the 80's - 2023. I cant stop listening to it.
LEGEND Brian, RIP BIG MAN, what a very very sad day for music, condolences to family and band members, bless,
Great song,ub40 we all knew and loved
Rip Brian. This song is as great as it is thanks to his playing.
R.I.P Brian Travers. Brilliant saxophone 🎷player.
Devastated...another legend dead. Reminds me of staying with my nan's in chelmsley Wood and drinking in the centurion late 80's.
❤ ✨Great song with magical 🎷 saxophone ❤ UB40 chart topping champions❤✨
God bless you Brian. Rest in peace x
Such a great sax player and pivotal in this song especially. RIP Brian Travers
Magnifique et toujours d'actualité !
Timeless .....
just after the sad news regarding brain travers......................dont worry brian your brilliant saxophone still lives on for ever ......rip
R.I.P Brian 🎷 & Astro 🙏
one of my fave bands from childhood in the 80s, Brian's sax & Ali's superb voice instantly recognisable whenever UB40 music is played on radio ❤
Fab era for music 👍
Great music is always timeless and this IS a great song
Yes very sad loss. Such a haunting saxophone piece.
ub40 the best name ever for a band and given for a moral reason
I survived. Not only that but I still love UB40 😎 What a waste of life that was you horrible abusers. What a waste of everyone's lives.... I will live the rest of my life in joy and being of service to other people. Just like I always said I would..... 🙏🙏🙏😎
Travel well, Brian. May your soul rest in eternal paradise xx
What an awesome band to see live.
RIP Brian Travers , you will be forever missed by your bandmates, family & friends. Life's too short to spend it squabbling. UB40 please settle your differences & play again.
Love from Canada.
This and 1 in 10 are their best songs
Agreed! Plus "Tyler" ❤
Bye Brian, you were a special guy. We will miss you.
Stop being so nostalgic, i love it!
People say that Dave Grohl is the nicest man in rock well Brian was the nicest guy in reggae. Was lucky enough to meet him years ago and he was so nice. Asked my name and how I was. He was genuinely interested in what I had to say. RIP you lovely man! 😢😢
September 19th 2023
Still this song still beats anything in current year!
RIP Brian travers the sound of UB40
the best UB40 song by far. It's a shame they did al the covers later. This song is 10 out of ten
Not so much a shame regarding the covers because UB40 wouldn't have became the band they were without the covers, let's not forget that the band are roughly made up of around 80% of non black fellas & to cover such iconic music like Ska & Rocksteady was unheard of unless of course if it wasn't for Twotone.
..or perhaps 1 in 10
18 albums of their own songs too ❤
I agree. This and One in Ten offered so much promise...then it was covers all the way. Brian was a lovely bloke by all accounts...sad day. 62 is young.
Such great music made better by that great sax. UB40 the kings of Reggae in them times and Still Good. RIP Mr Sax 🙂🦁🇬🇧
RIP ASTRO. Now both are making music in heaven.
When we were young in UB 40 WAS FORM TO SIGN ON THE TO GET UNEMPLOYMENT BENFITS THIS WERE THEIR BAND MET IN WOVERHAMTON ,BIRMINGHAM ,AS YOUG LADS IN SCOTLAND WE WOULD PLAY OUR ACCOUSTIC GUITARS TO THEIR RYTHM, WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE DAYS 🌄✝️✨️🙏🇬🇧⚔️⚓️🏟🙌
When i was learning saxophone, Brian wrote the the notes out for me of this song. I still have it. Met him in Billy's bar Digbeth.
Easily their best song!!! I like all their music, but this one is the one that really stands out to me. The whole track and yeah, that sax is killing it!!!!!
Brilliant song, so moving and atmospheric. UB40 such a great band.
R.I.P BRIAN TRAVERS
Rest in peace Brian
~~~{{🎷}}~~~
Real lyrics,real instruments, real talent people!!!!!!! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
RIP Brian Travers, gone, but never forgotten.
One of my favorite music of UB40. R.I.P. Brian Travers🙏 and R.I.P. Astro - Terence Wilson 🙏. Thank you both for your excellent music legacy. You will always remembered forever. 🙏💕
I was born in 1976 and still remember this
Thank God they are coming to zimbabwe my country
Never ever be Band ever like UB40. They are unique and one of a kind. Legends.
Rest in peace Brian. We will always remember you
Just mesmerised by this song 😢Where have we all ended up ! and why was this all slowly taken away from us 😎
I was a teenager on the 4 million unemployed list when this Belter came to be.
These dudes just blew the scene wide open back then. UB40 are just so fantastic. Love em long live UB40
Great track. RIP Brian
As if two members are now dead, so sad! UB40 are actually everything l remember growing up that was happy x RIP
Thank you for this gift. I feel better now. 😊
RIP Brian Travers, been a fan from the start. It was Brian’s sax that gave the band their unique sound and what drew me to them. So many great tunes, a very sad loss to the world. Thanks for the memories Brian.
God bless Brian 🙏
One of the best titles for a song ever, brilliant lyrics brilliant song brilliant band, people forget how great this band was
Not many tunes can hold a candle to this one.....I would have retired after writing this

One of those few bands whose very first record was one of the all time greats.
Brian Travers another sad lost in music. (God Bless him)
For UB40 fun
RiP astro what a musician he will missed so much
RIP.
This tune was a tiny bit before my time, it is a complete belter. This is so good.
My favourite UB40 song of all time and I can never remember the bloody title!
+Martin Mitchell Have spent last 3 months trying to remember title, agree, its their best hit!
This and King
Totally agree. It's my favourite too and the title escapes every single bloody time! And it was the first single I ever bought for goodness sake!
Food for thought
This song was their breakthrough in Holland. I just went to high school, 12 years old. Imidiatly a big fan, bought a lot of music and dvd's all these years. Saw them on stage, heard them playing and singing. (Together as UB40)
Still am a big fan today as a (newly) grandma lol.
My grandson and future granddaughter (over 18 weeks she will be born) will both grow up with UB40 like my son did, my nephew and neeces did because of me. WE love UB40 in this family. Also my mother did get the UB40 virus because of us lol. For generations.
Timeless music = regae music. (Thank you Robert Nesta Marley, your legacy, we love you too)
Food for thought & The earth dies screaming jst 2 of my very 1st songs ever heard by UB40 Now im 50 & So many yrs have passed x Got to see yuz again guyz xx Pkease come back to Edinbyrgh-SCOTLAND xxGuaranteed to be a sell out xx Love Yuz All xx Maggie xx
RIP Brian Travers . Thanks for your beautiful mournful sax that accompanied me since 13.
Gutted
I'm from 1990, I was lucky enough to have a family with a "good ear" for music, this song reminds me of my childhood.
Very important. It's a gift for life.
My mum's favourite band growing up and my favourite song by them. Truly amazing 🇬🇧 🇯🇲
Il faut revoir Ali Campbell impossible UB40 ne plus être sans Ali vivement son retour et la réconciliation.
WE FIGHT TILL THE END >
I love this favourite UB40 song so much. A timeless classic imo. Still listening to it in 2021 😀
Oh to be back in the 80s once again to relive all these memorable songs. Great music back then! 😄
Totally Agree, Youth got no hope with the Music of Today, Late 80's / Early 90's Music will never be beaten, ever!
2022 checking in, still listening.
I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
@@rw8733 me too😢. To be young & to have my loved ones back...
@@annabizaro-doo-dah I'd stay there forever. I miss my mum.
One of the first songs I remember taping off the radio when we all taped the charts each Sunday. RIP Brian.
Rip sir, legend
Probably best UB40 song
2022 and still hitting, can you feel the heat in the corner
The best Christmas song and UB40's best. Their early stuff was brilliant.
Exactly. Why is this song not on any Christmas album?!
grew up on the ub40..first lp first joint first whitey...oh the days
Rip Astro and Brain. So sad that they are not around. I love wen Brian Traves plays the saxofoon😌
2023 ~ Still relevant 💥🙏💯
1980 UB40 The Specials The Selector Madness The Beat The jam The Clash such fantastic memories
❤️ RIP ASTRO. ❤️
