Even though i am listening to this as a 70 year old on 1st March 2021, i still love it, a very catchy number, they just don't make music like they used to.
@@antonioskoutsoyiannis6575 Except he was playing it on a bass-guitar for this performance. Bloody great song though...I'm tempted to buy the album it's from actually!
@@cquilty1 Yes, you are right. Where would the british music scene be without the Scots??? JAMC, Orange Juice, Primal Scream, Alan McGhee, Jesse Garon & The Desperadoes, Wishing Stones, Josef K., Aztec Camera, Shop Assistants, BMX Bandits, Teenage Fanclub, Soup Dragons, Vaselines, Franz Ferdinand, Belle & Sebastian, Associates, Bluebells, Altered Images, Del Amitri, Idlewild and so on. And that's only the Indies... Not to speak of the majors like Wet Wet Wet, Simple Minds, Proclaimers, Deacon Blue, Texas, Amy MacDonald and others.
@andreaopthof376 The professional scotswoman strikes again! Maybe simply just try to enjoy music immaterial of the nationality of bands. You can do it, wee lassie!! Yes. I know I'm right. Thank you. PS. You forgot the Bay City Rollers:) And Wet Wet Wet, Texas, Simple Minds and Deacon Blue?? *Looool!!!*
@@Matsoni85 try listening to the smiths, new order, the housemartins, the thompson twins then get back to me and tell me what you think, another one is Lloyd Cole and the commotions, I hope I have been helpful I could go on and on.
Edwyn Collins is proof it was possible to go through the 70s, 80s, and 90s free from the unfortunate fashion trappings of each decade, looking cool the whole time…
Recorded this onto VHS tape and watched it a zillion times. You can't hide your love forever is still in my top 5 albums greatest albums of all time. We love you Edwyn you songwriting genius!
I'm 42 yrs old...yall came out with this bad ass beat in 82' and I still dance alone drunk in my house to this. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE BITTER WHILST LISTENING TO THIS. VERITAS! ❤
I was a 14 year old geek when I first heard this track and I liked it a lot - I’m now 55 years young still a geek (albeit a cool one) and I’m still liking this track so much I’m still rinsing it in 2023 - it sounds just as good to me now as it did back then - well done OJ for this timeless track and also a long overdue well deserved thank you from me !
Here I am remembering being 16 yrs old, life stretching out in front of me….. memories, both good and bad flood my mind. What would I be if I could be 16 again, knowing everything I know now? Most I would keep the same, a few things I’d change. One thing that would remain is being with the love of my life. Love you, my beautiful, darling lover xxx
I can hear this beautifull song every minutes love it and at night after a terrible day to see the beat of the guitarist and dance this makes my day , really love that i dont Know thé name of the guitarist but Welldone with the cherry on the cake Edwyn collins
I watch the videos of Orange Juice not only because of the good 80ies music but mainly because of this guy Edwyn that looks like my dear friend and one and only love Joe. He looked so much like him and was also almost same old. He lost his life 1984 at only 26 y.o. and I still miss him so hardly...❤😢
Saw Edwin live in the early 90s with Paul Cook on drums, really good gig! He hated playing "A girl like you" though, he said how much he hated being so popular!
I think his mind changed on that, after his cerebral haemorrhages. His wife highlights in her book, that the song effectively paid for his rehabilitation. The NHS can’t offer such intensive support- “A Girl Like You” royalties funded it.
for years I never realised the little guitar riff is from boredom by the buzzcocks, not sure why becuase he says "my favourite song is entitled bordeom"
I saw him at the end of October or start of November, in Bearsden he made me a cup of tea at our old house didn't realise he had been on the old grey whistle test
Timeless. I agree 👍 💯 with comments below that great new music 🎶 is there to be found. What is just as good is the treasure trove of people digging out these quality recording of original live performances that show the artists 🎨, often dismissed as lightweight 'pop' in my era, who we always knew were a bit special; and went on to do interesting and inspiring things. In adversity, in Edwyn's case. I have some prints of his bird drawings, as well as original vinyl.
I remember playing the version of this on Orange Juice over and over again as I attempted to bash out the lyrics on my dad's old Smith & Corona typewriter. I think I may have got a few words wrong, put it in a Valentine's day card. When I finally got up the courage to ask my friend if she had received it, she said yes but thought it was from someone else 😂
Hey, I’m not find behind you, but in my early/mid 50s (I don’t know) I gave up counting when I reached the “given up counting” age! If anyone ask me now, i tell them when I was born, let them let that work it out! LOL

I’m 55 and he pinched my haircut ha ha
yes they do, you just have to know where to look.
@@BP-vj2lv Giz a clue then
I’m 60 man I a metal head when this was out but discovered it a couple months ago. Very cool it’s new to me
You’re a gem, Peter 💖
What a killer bass line! And Edwyn looks charming like never before. The heroes of young Scotland...
The Roland TB303 bass machine. The most difficult machine ever, while this bass line is too complicated, it means... respect!!

“And my favourite is entitled Boredom” - have always loved that Buzzcocks reference.
Sound of my youth and how I wish I was back in the 80’s….life was simpler then….
You mean life before the internet?
Pre democrat
less foreigners
When they were younger. Life has always been simpler when we look back
The incredible sound of the eighties like it was yesterday.
Bloody hell, nearly 40 years. Finally got to see him in the 90s while I was working in Tokyo. Edwyn is a musical great, god bless!
Great to see a live performance of this classic. The Old Grey Wrinkly Testicle was a great show. A wee bit before my time but anyway.
and they are actually playing live !
Simply thrilled to see Ed & the boys rip it up again.
Another fantastic classic from the 80s, absolutely timeless.
What else is like this? Just fond about it😂

Couldn’t agree more.
Possibly the best band to come out of Scotland. They were at their absolute height here.
Deacon Blue IMO.
@@GaryM67-71 Lol!!
Aztec Camera.
belle and sebastian
ACDC 😉
Great live version. One of best songs of eighties, guitar power. Love them.
Excellent song and excellent Burns guitar!
Recorded this onto VHS tape and watched it a zillion times. You can't hide your love forever is still in my top 5 albums greatest albums of all time. We love you Edwyn you songwriting genius!
grew up with my dad playing this on LP. one of my favorites
Absolutely fantastic, everyone bang on their game , fantastic
I like the energy the drummer brings
One of the best songs ever made

Uuh
brilliant live performance
I hear that intro and immediately I am 18 again and back home in Glasgow.
This song is Dope!
I was born in 1989 and just came across it last year.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What a brilliant decade the 80s was
So true! Spirit and magic then that faded into the 90s and non existent in the 2000s.
So great to watch live. Great song

hipster ? 🤪
@@hanskloss1331 Thanks Hans’ 🤪
Absolutely fantastic
Jeepers 40 yrs ago Edwyn looks about 10! Brilliant memories
fantastic
I was 18 where have all the years gone
I still love this tune
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Fab song, what a voice!

A thing of beauty.
Edwin Collins - Gifted Man - Can write a tune, Credit also to this very young band of great musician 1982 and all that XXX
s
Beautiful song
Love Edwyn Collins. What a bloke!
I love this. It starts out like the standard version then you get this distorted Lou Reed guitar feedback. Top shit.
Amazing bass sound
I can hear this beautifull song every minutes love it and at night after a terrible day to see the beat of the guitarist and dance this makes my day , really love that i dont Know thé name of the guitarist but Welldone with the cherry on the cake Edwyn collins
Malcolm Ross (he'd joined just before this), formerly of Josef K (also played many a time with Aztec Camera).
Amazing. 🧡
"Arms stuck glued to my side" is possibly my favourite line in post punk pop.
Postcard was clearly bad for arms: see also Josef K's line: "You know I'd help you if I could but both my arms are made of wood".
@@momasu At least by the time of his debut solo album, Edwyn was willing to put his arms around you (apparently not for the first time😺).
Fantastic band.
Great to have another clip of this up... perfect clarity for perfect pop. fave song. Cheers uploader !
This is awesome
Such a good song
Seen Orange Juice play at The Royal Court in Liverpool in 1983. Seen Edwyn play a free gig in a pub in Portmahomack around 2014.
excellent song!
i still love orange juice they are brilliant live xxxx

@nelly8592 < < < Illiterate *TROLL.* Hush...
Such style with tonnes of substance
So damn good.
Hard to believe that this recording is 40 years old, they look really contemporary.
superb, as usual
Love them
Saw Edwin live in the early 90s with Paul Cook on drums, really good gig! He hated playing "A girl like you" though, he said how much he hated being so popular!

Oh this is so good, I have this on 7 inch vinyl....
Thank you!!!
Fabulous clip
Too cool...
Surprisingly good....
for years I never realised the little guitar riff is from boredom by the buzzcocks, not sure why becuase he says "my favourite song is entitled bordeom"
Good spot
That bass tone... distorted to infinity and beyond.
Yeah! Brilliant!
Edwyn musical genius and complex lyric and love the beat
I saw him at the end of October or start of November, in Bearsden he made me a cup of tea at our old house didn't realise he had been on the old grey whistle test
My Favourite song 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Quality. School bus time.
Such a good band. Thank you r/LetsTalkMusic guy
Bearsden uber alles. Mmmm. Saw you at the Fleagh playing Appetite for Destruction. Circa 1993. Wonderful in your deficits. Love you Edwyn.
1983 early on is when i remember this in the charts
Early on in the year?

I really loved Edwin Collins and Orange Juice being Scottish.
that bass sounds great

So exciting when you discover a great new band😇
School Disco memories 😂😂🥰😎🤮👍

He was still living at Bonnaughton Road when this was recorded ,,
My old house
Fresh as a daisy, this.
did the Smith's AND the English Beat/General Public get their sounds from O.J. ?
Keyboard player to stylist.....
"Nah, I'm good"
loooool brilli@t mate
If I could of held you I ain't that bad to live with maybe I AM I miss you too much for words 😊
Goodbye sweet Prince
that bass line!
Damn! Where have 4 decades gone to ...??
The coolest looking band on the block - with their 40-yr old uncle enjoying 15 minutes of fame with his bo-fant, gilet and yellow sweatshirt 😂
ROK on Edwyn what a tune
I am 7 years old and I find this tune uplifting and enriching. Better than i-oh-silva and the tuneyards. I hope I live to be old.
😂 Amazing how you joined UA-cam before you were born.
Tight
Thanks for the upload. Anyone know about the bass sound on this recording?
I still do this one in the shower - and the bassline...
Eric Bristow on keyboards?
