Right there with you. Same age. Where did it all go wrong? The 80s is by far the greatest decade. Kids could be kids and as long as we didn't break any major laws no one cared what we did.
@@mistermr.6938 thats because you were young. I was born in the 90s, but my best lifetime started around 2010 ongoing. So depending when you got born, your youth and early adulthood is the magical time..... Unless you got a shit upbringing, than its the adulthood that gets fun.... generally spoken.
born in late 80s, lived the 90s as a kid and had many many 80s movies and music influences but even though I didn’t actually lived the 80s, gunship are able to make me feel like I’m still a child and bring back many good memories
A few years ago I was in a really bad place in life. I was laying in bed listening to music when the algorithm happened upon "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies" and it moved me to tears. Since then, through better and worse, Gunship's music has touched my heart. At times it made me feel joy. At times it tugged at my heartstrings when I wasn't in a good headspace. The love, soul, and passion in these tracks at times was one of the few things that gave me positivity in a cold world. Thank you for being you, guys, and keep the heat coming. With love.
100% agreed! I just recently found out that my 15 year old son played "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies" for about a year straight when he was 13/14 years old. He was going through some really head times and it probably saved his life. I love this song, too, and am so grateful to have discovered it! I'm so happy to have discovered Gunship as it touches my Gen X soul. I love that only those who have lived through the 80s would recognize the references and cultural nods to the 80s. It makes me feel like a strong, carefree and free-spirited teenager again! Thank you @GUNSHIPMUSIC ! 💖
Gunship, Dance with the Dead, Midnight Danger, Timecop1983, Waveshaper, Dynatron, and Fury Weekend are my favorite Synthwave bands. It blows my mind that these bands have not completely broke into maintsteam music. They create music that is so far superior to the garbage on the radio that I do not even listen to radio anymore. Keep it up Gunship!
Since a few years lots of mainstream pop acts have imported synthwave sounds, obviously very diluted and tamed down. The sad thing is that no one talks about synthwave. It s like its not existing and they pretend its just 80´s music influence which is wrong because synthwave is extremely heavily inspired by film soundtracks and not just 80´s mainstream music.
And E.T. as it made Kuwahara THE BMX bike to have at the time. Lucky for them as Kuwahara got the spotlight just before their fame faded as the market was flooded and Kuwahara was just about to slip out E.T. came along and propped them up a little while longer before BMX died its first death soon after E.T. with the advent of home video games.
It's a dark, cold and rainy autumn day where I live. But holy shit guys, you made this day an amazing day with this absolute banger! Thank you for releasing it to a wider audience. Now we just need a full video for this masterpiece of a cover song.
MORE GUNSHIP MUSIC‼️‼️‼️ been a fan for years now,, even had a gunship birthday cake once. every time they release a song it makes me just as happy as the time before ❤
I have such strong memories tied to the original that when I heard the first few seconds of this cover it was nostalgia overload! That gem of a track I never expected to find but a treasure to have!
If i could describe Gunship's music in one sentence, it'd be: everything about the 80s-synthwave, sci-fi, anime, neon, etc. All rolled into one sound that you cannot unhear.
I love the original of this song but only just discovered this version and I absolutely love it ❤ Can't stop listening to it. Well done on a brilliant cover Gunship. X
Great job gun ship at doing a cover of this song by the band real life. I love how you put a heavy tcno sound in the song and brought it up beat more into a club dancing feel. ❤❤❤❤ and the picture of the BMX bike is from the 1980s movie rad.
Yep. Same for me. I remember as a kid getting mad because it only played a bit.. But hey. That movie is the reason I asked for super Mario 3 for Christmas
I remember sitting next to my tape recorder waiting for this song to come on the radio so I could record it, but never could. "Real Life" wasn't a big band in the US, so I was so stoked when I found the single years later.
I have loved the original since I first heard it as a teenager when it came out. I love this cover. I want it on CD though, please, please, please release a cd version.
Man this is such a great cover, actually had this song stuck in my head earlier this week, so this is just absolutely perfect. Love the ET nod at the end.
HOLY HELL I DID NOT REALIZE HOW BADLY I NEEDED THIS I grew up with Teen Wolf, Too and that study montage has lived rent-free in my head for years...from the OG, to Thrice's heavier cover and now this masterpiece of synth and rock thank you thank you
I was playing Stellar Blade the other day and had infinite playlist on in youtube music and this song randomly came on, its crazy how well it fits with the game surprisingly 👀 its now saved on my favorites 😅
Freakin amazing version of this song.... love this so much. :) One of those moments when the remake does that little bit better than the original, making it even better. :)
The second I saw the bike I knew it was E.T. ! even before the silloughett across the moon. :) So weird how Gunship gives me happy childhood vibes even when some of it was dark times.
YES! This song always makes me think of the movie, "The Wizard." I loved that movie when I was a kid and still watch it every once in a while. This is an amazing cover, Gunship!
Okay, this was totally unexpected but definitely not a disappointment. I know a lot of people associate this song with the movie "Rad" but I first heard it in a movie known as "The Wizard" and it's always had a special spot in terms of nostalgia for me. I feel it would be an injustice to say "This was very good for a cover", because the truth is it is very good period. Very well done.
40 years ago i was 6 six years old. The magic of the 80s will never be duplicated. What an age to be a kid in! ❤
Right there with you. Same age. Where did it all go wrong? The 80s is by far the greatest decade. Kids could be kids and as long as we didn't break any major laws no one cared what we did.

heard this in nyc goth club in 90s ....🙃, keep this one and sweet dreams by the eurythmatics spinning forever in ny...send me a lawyer right now

I love ❤
You know this is a cover, right?
I love th8s version so much.
The thumbnail looks like Pooka from Dig Dug 😌😂
The music video for that one is by far one of my favorite emotional video ever.
How nostalgic putting that bike there. Thanks for the RAD memory
Totally gnarly dude!🤘
Elliot's Kuwahara
Wasn't even trying to pay attention and read lyrics but I also noticed Elliot and ET flying across the moon in the back!
Love you for the Rad love.
I watched RAD like all of the time.
Man it's 40 years ago in my head right now. Things were so simple when we were children. Nice cover/tribute!
Who else is here that was born in the 80's and loves this version too?!
Ugh.. 77 here but yes loved this one!!
I literally fell in love with this band after hearing this cover
Late 70's and yes
70
That song was our jam back in the 1984
🤩🤩🤩🤩
With E.T. doing the moon flyby… This is God tier magic 🪄💫
0:51
I'd like to think Real Life would be damn proud of this! Well done! 👌
The original always had a sense of mystery to me and this version intensifies it. Such an awesome cover!!!
Damn, took me back to elementary school going to the skating rink
What i wanna know is why is it that it seems like these kids put synthesizers to way better use than we did back in the day? Good job!
This is, by far, my favourite song from my childhood. I'm so glad you remixed it.
Same 🥰
Did You ever see the movie RAD?
You'll like it...
@@PogdubI remember this song from The Wizard
It's not a remix.
This is a cover and it is done well. Sorry to break your heart :)@@zackketz Thank you all for making it is great to hear again !!!!!
Gunship, Dance with the Dead, Midnight Danger, Timecop1983, Waveshaper, Dynatron, and Fury Weekend are my favorite Synthwave bands.

Truth.
The music industry is a controlled space. They only want a few groups they can exert control over.
Thanks for a list. Lol
Since a few years lots of mainstream pop acts have imported synthwave sounds, obviously very diluted and tamed down. The sad thing is that no one talks about synthwave. It s like its not existing and they pretend its just 80´s music influence which is wrong because synthwave is extremely heavily inspired by film soundtracks and not just 80´s mainstream music.
That list is amazing indeed! I would add "The Midnight" (imo the goats right now), "F.O.O.L" and "September 87".
The bike in this video is amazing...a perfect tribute to the movie, RAD :)
And E.T. as it made Kuwahara THE BMX bike to have at the time. Lucky for them as Kuwahara got the spotlight just before their fame faded as the market was flooded and Kuwahara was just about to slip out E.T. came along and propped them up a little while longer before BMX died its first death soon after E.T. with the advent of home video games.
I can't believe someone else remembers that movie... But I'm remembering the school dance alright!
That bike remind me the E.T movie by the way :)
@@KingJarrethLori Loughlin, she was hot before I knew what hot was
God damn it, GUNSHIP, I LOVE YÒU
It's a dark, cold and rainy autumn day where I live. But holy shit guys, you made this day an amazing day with this absolute banger! Thank you for releasing it to a wider audience. Now we just need a full video for this masterpiece of a cover song.
Same here.
Vid needs to include the BMX dance scene from Rad 😁
This song would get me so pumped every time I watched The Wizard. Great cover!
California
Great movie! Just rewatched it recently.
ive got a wizard whos going all the way to the championships in California
Saw that in theater as a kid man I was so stoked
MORE GUNSHIP MUSIC‼️‼️‼️ been a fan for years now,, even had a gunship birthday cake once. every time they release a song it makes me just as happy as the time before ❤
One of my fav songs and fav movies from when I was a kid! Just amazing stuff! Thanks for this. Gunship ROCKS totally dude!
Heard this first in the movie R.A.D and was obsessed since. Thanks for the cover.
Totally 😊
This one I didn't know I needed 💞
YES! Thanks for making amazing tracks (and this cover) and sharing it with the world! GUNSHIP FOREVER! ❤
I had that bike for my first BMX for racing. It's a Ross I believe. Thing was a tank. Only got 1st place once.. but it was nationals. Great memories
Great cover and tribute! Forever the 80's
Every cover you do is perfection! Beautiful as always!
Thank you! 🍻
One of my all time favorite songs. Love this version. Long live the 80s!
It's. Ace ..😅
I was looking for different remixes of this song with sound in my head on how it should sound. And here, I found it.
Stranger things may have cracked open the door for 80s Nostalgia but Gunship is here kicking it down with every new song, I'm in love!
I had forgotten about this song. Great cover!
I'm honestly shocked that the original hasn't been used in Stranger Things at some point.
Doesn't need saying, but fantastic cover of a classic. Well done and thank you
I've heard many different people put their own spin on this song, and I can finally say I've found my favorite version. Amazing work 🎉
Absolutely ❤
Favorite is still the original… much better than this
I like the original, and Zeromancer's version, a little better but this is a very good take.
When the synth starts... Goosebumps!!
I absolutely love the throwback to Rad, one of my favorite movies as a kid.
I have such strong memories tied to the original that when I heard the first few seconds of this cover it was nostalgia overload! That gem of a track I never expected to find but a treasure to have!
Loving it!
Man, the old bicycle boogie scene is permanently etched into my memory. This is a fantastic cover.
Best remix i heard yet
If i could describe Gunship's music in one sentence, it'd be: everything about the 80s-synthwave, sci-fi, anime, neon, etc. All rolled into one sound that you cannot unhear.
I love how this combines aspects of both versions of the song plus your style ❤
This is one of the best covers ever! I freaking love GUNSHIP!!!
This is my favorite song of all time ever since I watched The Wizard, and you guys just somehow made it better!
I love the original of this song but only just discovered this version and I absolutely love it ❤ Can't stop listening to it. Well done on a brilliant cover Gunship. X
Love you! & Zeromancer
This rocks
The wizard.... If you know you 😊
Childhood memories unlocked
... phone home

California 🦖 🦕
The nostalgia…. Prefect updated cover! Thank you 🤘🏻
Thank you guys for always delivering. You read my mind.
never stop producing masterpiece, but lately...perfection after perfection !!!
The little Elliot and E.T. in the background is such a nice touch
ET Phone Home... Takes me back home in the past
Fuggin RAD!!!!
Ohhh the RAD reference front and center, gotta love it
Man, I used to have a cover of this song by Thrice. That version was awesome, and this one is pretty cool too!
Great job gun ship at doing a cover of this song by the band real life. I love how you put a heavy tcno sound in the song and brought it up beat more into a club dancing feel. ❤❤❤❤ and the picture of the BMX bike is from the 1980s movie rad.
The chorus is absolute perfection. Masterful sound design and true to the original. So fucking good.
I still remember the first time I heard this 80s track in the movie The Wizard. To this day it makes me feel happy and nostalgic ❤️
Yep. Same for me. I remember as a kid getting mad because it only played a bit..
But hey. That movie is the reason I asked for super Mario 3 for Christmas

Fantastic cover! Especially love the guitar towards the end!
Literal chills. What a way to start the day! ❤ 🤘🏽
I have loved the original since I first heard it as a teenager when it came out. I love this cover. I want it on CD though, please, please, please release a cd version.
you mean cassette ;-)
Go wireless
Great cover of an Iconic Aussie classic.Cheers!!
Awesomeness! Love it.
As I said on the other site, I'm adding this to my "Avalon Bay" playlist when I write for that setting.
This a fun song. Puts a lil spring in my step. You guys make some really cool sounding music. Only drive as fast as you can see!
GUNSHIP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY ARE YOU THE BEST ARTIST OUT THERE!!!
Seriously!!!! I ask that same question about the song "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies". It is absolute perfection!!!
RAD!! 1 of my fav movies as a teen.
I love the reference to E.T. Probably something else in there I missed while writing this. Maybe I'll watch it once or 17 times more
Man this is such a great cover, actually had this song stuck in my head earlier this week, so this is just absolutely perfect. Love the ET nod at the end.
Awesome tribute excellent video incredible
Awesome cover! Thunder In Your Heart is my favorite from RAD but this one is great too.
Hell yeah 👏
Love the Bike tribute! Perfect lyric video!
Kuwahara 👊❤
HOLY HELL I DID NOT REALIZE HOW BADLY I NEEDED THIS
I grew up with Teen Wolf, Too and that study montage has lived rent-free in my head for years...from the OG, to Thrice's heavier cover and now this masterpiece of synth and rock
thank you thank you

Rad? I knew it from "the wizard" 😁 90's I think
I know it from _The Wizard._ (1989)
1986 I think
Freakin amazing version of this song.... love this so much. :)
One of those moments when the remake does that little bit better than the original, making it even better. :)
man this song brings me back. my highschool sweetheart showed it to me along with so many excellent bands. This might be my favorite version though.
The second I saw the bike I knew it was E.T. ! even before the silloughett across the moon. :) So weird how Gunship gives me happy childhood vibes even when some of it was dark times.
Chef's kiss. Love the John Carpenter font, as always!
😘👌
Hell yess!!!! No one else could cover this song better.
Love this. This song has always been 1 of my favorites because of RAD! Great job 🙏
I've listened to this song about 247 times in two days. It never gets old and I only smile.
This kicks ass! Excellent work!
Great song, great cover, and love the E.T. fly-by in the background.
0:51 I see
This song would be number one on a list of songs where the chorus drastically changes the entire song.
YES! This song always makes me think of the movie, "The Wizard." I loved that movie when I was a kid and still watch it every once in a while. This is an amazing cover, Gunship!
Yes! Everyone keeps talking about "RAD", and I'm like, no this is from "The Wizard"! Lol (It was also in "Teen Wolf Too").
The version in The Wizard was the "1989" remix of the original, which was on Rad.
@@billothekid.... hop in your time machine !
Word.@@ShogunX11
@@ShogunX11Theres like a thousand mixes of Real Life's song.
Love this and remember watching Teen Wolf 2 and the Wizard with this song!!
Excellent version

was just thinking about this song the original anyway and this shows up in my feed
@1:58 ET and Elliot flying across the moon 😂
This has heart we needed it !!! Yes another hit !
Solche Musik sind genau die, die ich suche. Thanks
WHAT!?! You did one of my favorite 80's song!
One of if not my favorite new wave songs from the 1980s this is a great cover. You really hit it out of the park.
Thanks, I needed this!🙏👍🫡❣️
I absolutely love how the synth travels from the right channel to the left then back
😀
The Kuwahara ET BMX❤ and this track never gets old and you covered it🤘!
I didn't know how much I needed this cover in my life. Pure nostalgia.
Awesome!!!!!!!
I LOVE GUNSHIP!!!! ❤️
You guys really knocked it out the fu$&ing park with this one 👍🏽🙌🏽❤
I remember when Carpenter Brut's version of "Maniac" came out and I thought there's no way to get better than that. You proved me wrong
