Lyrics;
If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me would that alarm her
I'd never harm her at all
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me
If I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover
Come here my baby
Oh they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all
Come here my baby
Oh they won't touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you
I want to please you again
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it

When was the last time you heard a song like this?
1985
I've never heard a song like this. It's unique. I have however, heard other great songs this year.
An 80's song that really stands out.
He has an incredible voice. So pure ! He’s so talented and more pleasant sounding than some of the people today that rely on Auto Tune. Bring back the genius of the 80’s.
Yes, the genius of the 80s!!!
Dude, you hit that one right on the head!!!!!!80’s forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Midge Ure, one of the 80'ss geniuses.
alizée dans les flammes de mes déesses tu déchires mes pensées
Those 80's dance moves were about the only ones I could ever do...
This Is Poetry In Motion.
Midge Ure Is So Underrated.
They don't write songs like this any more.Absolutly beautiful,goosebumps right now&tears...❤currently on loop
Midge bless you.
Ich bleibe immer Fan,solange ich lebe !
Ich Auch ❤
Und ich auch.❤
Few people can ever write music the way Midge Ure did, either alone or with Ultravox.
He was from ultravox??
@@5tyyu He was the voice of Ultravox indeed.

Not this song: Wikipedia ""If I Was" is a 1985 song by Midge Ure. It was co-written by Ure and Danny Mitchell (of Ultravox's tour opening band Messengers), and released as the first single from Ure's first solo album The Gift. It reached #1 on the UK singles chart for one week in September 1985.[1]
In the sleeve notes for the 2001 compilation If I Was: The Very Best of Midge Ure & Ultravox Ure wrote:
"This song is pure Danny Mitchell. I found a demo of it on a cassette Danny had sent me for his band The Messengers. I grabbed it with both hands, messed around with it, sprinkled it with fairy dust and the rest is history."
Ure played all instruments on the song except bass guitar, which was played by Mark King of Level 42."
my mate wrote that
A classic they'll be playing on UA-cam and radio stations around the world in the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : ) July 1st 2023.
Midge Ure, was für ein toller Song!!! Ja, die 80 ziger. ☺👍 Ich grüße alle Menschen auf dieser Welt, die ihn auch mögen.🌏
I am turning 58 shortly. So grateful for the amazing variety of music I enjoyed during my teenage years; what an amazing variation of different artists/styles. I worked in engineering but changed carreer in 2022 and now drive a school bus - I tell my young passengers about the summer of 1983 when my cheap Raleigh bicycle and equally cheap Toshiba radio-cassette recorder provided all the entertainment I needed; long 20 mile+ cycles and home to great music recorded off the radio. No social media or FOMO. Despite some difficulties growing up as a teenager, especially in school and during my Leaving Cert year; the music sustained me. My 20 year old niece also loves this music. I play this stuff in my bus when taking the kids to school and it would be the greatest pleasure if I could convince even one of my young passengers to listen to music from this decade. The '80s were not perfect but times were simpler and there was more social interaction. Nowadays, you cannot even talk to a human when trying to phone a bank or a public service. Would love a time machine!
nem tudom leírni mennyire szeretlek.
Good times 😎🎸here 51
Same here! 58 2nd day of this month.
Best ever. Very accurate description of the 80s. 58 in 6 months. And the summer was proper summer back then.
Nice of you to speak of this to them. Needed to be said. Loved the music of the eighties. The clothing styles looked sharp as well, nice fabric too. Unlike the garbage they sell today.
I've always recognized the chorus, but I don't know if I've ever heard this fully until now.
this song immediately catapults me back to the 80's - best decade for music. Love to go back there
Defo
Hi there am Alberto how are you doing tonight I'm fine thanks yeah I would be right there with you there the 80s the music the hair the clothes I would of done everything so different from what I have done
@@funda1153 who me
Sadly, we cannot go back, but the music is still here with us
Así es!
Kneeling on Midge. One of the most extravagant songs ever full of Magic. This is real music. Time went by. Hymns remains
MY LEGEND HERO, MIDGE URE, THE JUGLAR FROM THE BAND AID, THE BEST MAN LIVING ON THE PLANET
I wish to hear this song in upcoming GTA VI. Midge should be in this game as radio DJ.
80s were Amazing.Another brilliant tune
Proper Dad dancing at a wedding
My heart filling with some strange longing back in the days before Internet when the future was unknown and beautiful..
...and with hit-charts, not full of fu**ing hip-hop and autotune-voices.
wow, you've said it so beautiful!
For sure 😩
Mind you it s a great song u never beat the 80s music video s ..
@@Paul-fq9pj what
Beautiful song by a beautiful man.

80's will come again ... in 57 years from now...
One of the greatest musicians and lyricists of the last 50 years.. What a belter
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant suppor t has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail via.midgeure275@gmail.com
Easily one of the best tunes of the 80s.
Yes 🥰
@@midgeure1914 perfect
@@mariealmquist3038 definitely. If any 1 deserved a number 1 record it was midge ure. Talented musician and very humble good guy.
Lata '80, lata beztroski i innych potrzeb ...
The 80s was so special. Feel blessed to have experienced it.
Special talent this guy was
I agreed,totally!!
Just watched him live at York Grand Opera House last night. Absolutely brilliant!! He did this, which I love, and finished with Vienna, and yes he can still hit those top notes, he is superb!! 👋❤
lucky Maddy. I’d like to see him one day.
Przebój wszechczasów wokalisty zespołu Ultravox Midge Ure , pamiętam te czasy mojej młodości słuchało się wtedy takiej muzyki .
The decade unsurpassed. 80s forever!
I’m 27 years old & found this song today years old and already repeating it all day!!
Enjoy coz it`s fantastic
Ultravox had a lot of good songs. Delve into their catalog when you get a chance. I recommend checking out "Vienna". It still knocks my socks off to this day. Another catchy tune by them is "Reap The Wild Wind".
It will wear off and then your forget it
Danny great taste..had the vynl record when released
@@lordmaster2562 let's have a bet on that!?
This is the most beautiful song
what a great feeling of life in the 80s...especially with this music
There’s something wrong when I saw this video only has 2.2 million views,but now I see it’s only less than 4 years old from (July 2020) How can such a popular song from the 80s only have official music video almost 40 years after his release?
From The Great good old days
Yes
This song popped into my head from nowhere today. I haven't heard it for years. I had to come here and listen to it again. ❤
Just did the same, myself❤😂
Me also was sleeping this song came in my head and here iam 😀 something strange going on…
Same here. Flashback to my happy youth in the 1980s with this awesome song
Same five!
Same
Ciesze sie i jestem dumny ze bylem na koncercie ultra vox w polsce.wrazenia do dzisiaj.brak takich zespolow dzisiaj.😊
Still love it. Can we turn back time , please !!!
Better music better world
One of the best 80s songs/songs ever! ❤
December,2024!!!!
And previous years!!!!
Love Ultravox!!!!
I worked on the video with midge. We were responsible for wardrobe and his light footness on the dance floor. He was such a lovely guy 😁😁
👍🏻
Wonderful
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He’s a great lyricist. Bumped into him a few times and he’s unassuming and not at all like a big rich rock star ⭐️
Great wardrobe choices, mate! I like even the white socks, even today!
This is one of those timeless classics that still sounds as good today as the day it was released. This song never gets old.
Imagine all these 80’s bangers were only coming out fresh now, we would be spoiled for choir, so so many great artists and songs.
Classic track. Lucky to grow up in the 80’s and listen to the best decade of music in history 🙏
Yes indeed so then too of course-you are so right too!
Yup
RIGHT
Midge forever! Loved this song of the 80s!
A love song for the ages
Thanks Midge for all the beautiful music you gave us😊
Midge is a true innovator.. I love the music, the voice..
The 80s were better in so many ways and music is one of them
A miraculous time when really cool things were being developed, with cool people, music and fashion.
Jan 2025 my Sunday song ❤
Wish so I could go back in time to the 80's - just for a month please!
Nostalgic nostalgia nostalgia ❤
This cool dude is responsible for some of the most emotive, hauntingly beautiful songs of the 80s. A nice guy who really did come in first. ❤
masterpice at all
It was late 1985 when I first heard this. I’d just graduated from college & was at my first job in a mid sized city along the US/Mexican border. I was just starting off, working my ass off & broke as hell, but having the time of my life. This song makes feel 25 & invincible again….which means, “If I Was” is more than song-it’s magic.
It was a number one for him at the time then here in Britain/the UK of course-unlike Vienna by Ultravox in 1981 which of course got to number two only but should have been number one for sure! Thank you there too.
Of course for sure really too?!
If i was... if i can i woud fly to your heart... 😢
This song reminds me of working in Smiths Menswear in High St Edinburgh in the 80s and 90s always was playing over the stereo in shop! Love Midge Ure, very under rated artist and Bob Geldof got all the awards and gratitudes for Live Aid when it was both him and Midge Ure that done it together! But Midge Ure being the man he is stood back and let Bob take the fame and glory! Midge Ure is a Beatifull man and the loveliest man you could ever meet with a heart of gold! Still a hero of mine at the age of 53 years old, for 40 years he's been a part of my life to this day, must listen to him at least once a week still! Thanks Midge ♥️🇬🇧

A Master Piece 🇬🇧👍😀♥️
still gives me chills ..anytime
What a feel good tune... I was driving along this morning feeling miserable, then this came on the radio and made my day.
Pamiętam jak dziś! Zajebioza!
Wow what a singing voice, fantastic music in the 80s, could understand every word he was singing about,, cheers Gary in cottingham East Yorkshire
Oh dear i just got trown back to my youth.
This song always moves me to tears, with it's beauty. An all time classic. Midge is a genius
Love this song too.
Just watching The Making Of Do They Know It's Christmas on iPlayer.
Such awesome talent and all in the same room ❤️
The world is a better place for having one wee James Ure
Lets not Forget
Ultravox.
The song Vienna
was Brilliant.
@markneville9723 and it still is there too why not.
When you look what he has done since the mid 70's how on earth is he not a Sir?!
They gave the knighthood to Bob Geldoff instead although it was Midge Ure who wrote and organised Live Aid and Band Aid.
Midge Ure was brilliant 👍
This song is utter perfection!
Love him, love his music, miss those golden years forever...
Scotland he's beautiful what a voice handsome
Love all of Ultravox songs and this solo from Midge Ure is simply magnificent..such pure talent..sadly lacking in today's music..
I was about 6 years old when this came out. Remains one of my favourite tunes of all time. The best songs age like fine wines.
I don't like wine but I get it
What a song and music!!!, Sad and sentimental...with his voice and the keyboards...Midge Ure in his solo and when with Ultravox, with Vienna and Reap the wild wind....Unforgettable. How i miss the 80s😔!!!

And when He was the Singer of "Slik":Reqiem!I Love all of those Songs,they help me stop crying!

It's been a long time since I last heard this one.
Ah, the decade we were thin. Miss being thin,
This sounds as fresh in 2022 as it did back in the 1980s, the best era for music.
Come on the 80’s was so good!!!!!🫶
I used to listen it on absolute 80's
21 de enero tengo 75 años no me canso de escuchar a midge ure esta es una cancion maravillosa bravo saludos cordiales desde alicante españa
Atmospheric nostalgic 🦦🦔🦙🦥🦌
Extremely underrated song.
great dad dancing.
Cool 80s song with a great beat midge Ure if I was
A number 1 hit in the UK. Well deserved. Great song.
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time
You can tell he a lovely guy, love Ultravox and midge, Still want to see them,😀 better late than never lol
Ich habe mir heute das Album gekauft,ich liebe es.👍🥰💋
I love this song and him.
Beautiful man and track ❤
This song hit #1 in the UK in 1985. Why was this never released in the US? It is so wrong that America never got to know this brilliant song.
Once up on a time 😢
A very emotional man this Midge Ure. Love him❤
😅😅😅
Arguably best song ever written
Everytime this song makes me happy..
What an awesome song - just kind of message we need to hear in these dark days! (August 20th 2024). ❤😎😇
Such an uplifting song. Midge really has a knack for melodrama that is also endearing and moving.
Can't dance, but those pipes... One of the greatest male vocalists ever.
How did i forget this i loved this song
