Masterpiece that we all took for granted! In 1987 the year these guys packed it in and on my 18th birthday an old girlfriend walked back into my life and we have been married 33 years 3 kids and 2 grandchildren and this particular song reminds me of the time and i will forever link the song and its meaning with the memories of the time and the message it still delivers from that moment in our lives and everything we have been through since! The Power of Love! Thank you Frankie the 5 lads from Liverpool!
It’s quite difficult to describe just how big this band was in the 80’s. They had a similar effect to Adam and the ants. Blazed a trail like a comet through the sky. Their album was sold out everywhere on release, copies came in and vanished the same day. Truly brilliant for the time and still endures.
Stunning vocal, what a presence? Easily as good as the original, I prefer it and I thought the studio version was perfect, Wow! Thank you Holly, outrageous!
I would like to personally thank the man for writing and performing not just a Christmas classic, but an all year round song reminding us of God's love.
God is Love not by words on paper no in real works, he shows the incredible price he himself has to pay seeing his sona severe pain and suffering, and that for saving us insignificant humans, Abraham has to endure the pain God has to endure, but in Gods mercy Abraham dident have to go all the way, but God had to. Who if us would do the same
The most passionately perfect LOVE SONG ever written! ONLY HOLLY AKA FRANKIE could ever do this eloquently elegant song justice the way that he sings it!! 😍 Thank you for sharing this rare 💎 gem!$
Just looked at the latest comments on this posts. As a teenager in the 80s and loving 1970s music, this track stood out, at Christmas, as one of the best tracks ever. And I am a musician. Amateur but I play by ear. This song is just beautiful.
I cry everytime like a baby, when I listen to this song. I love my girfriend since one year more than anything and even when this song is played on the radio at work I have to fight against the tears, because she's the love of my life and I feel every word in this song only for her...
TheAustinTessaDutchie beat it, queen. This man did nothing wrong by expressing his feelings - if yall did the same maybe there wouldnt be as much "offended" and "triggered" people like yourself in the world. And seriously - whats up with the 1950s stereotypes?
Holly Johnson is one of the best singers from the 80's, still sounds great! love the bit where he sings "when the chips are down, I'll be around". Alot of todays pop singers cant touch him
To All Liverpudlians who remember that cold, Snowy, Wintry December in 1984 I do, Like it was yesterday, Making that long trek back home from Flintlocks Night Club in Wood Street, Liverpool City Centre, To Breck Road, Everton ;) In the days when most of us could not afford taxis home................... But all Liverpool Girls were proper fit ( unless you were sober ;)
I'll protect you from the hooded claw Keep the vampires from your door Ay, ay, ay, ay Feels like fire I'm so in love with you Dreams are like angels They keep bad at bay, bad at bay Love is the light Scaring darkness away, yeah I'm so in love with you Purge the soul Make love your goal The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on, burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal I'll protect you from the hooded claw Keep the vampires from your door When the chips are down I'll be around With my undying, death-defying love for you Envy will hurt itself Let yourself be beautiful Sparkling love, flowers And pearls and pretty girls Love is like an energy Rushin' an' rushin' inside of me, eh The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on, burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal This time we go sublime Lovers entwine, divine, divine Love is danger, love is pleasure Love is pure, the only treasure I'm so in love with you Purge the soul Make love your goal The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul The power of love A force from above A sky-scraping dove Flame on burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal I'll protect you from the hooded claw Keep the vampires from your door ❤️💖❣️
This is lyrics, vocals, and musicians at their best!! Holly Johnson you really are a musical treasure!!! You brought your sexuality into the 80’s which was a hard time!! I’m a straight lady in her 50’s but good on you!! I was there to support gays coming out! Still do, about time the world did!!!
Ive loved this song since it was first released, i sing it to my 14 month old son, he loves it too. :D Holly is one of them true talents we will never forget, thanks for this song holly.
Fools, for those who comment against Jools his piano is spot on, tone deaf all you knockers! It pains me to respond, you wouldn't know a rift if it hit you between the eyes!
I’m 52yrs old and I’m crying like a baby. I’ve loved this song and Hollys voice ever since I first heard it!
Great voice
I totally agree with you Gaz
Simply a gift i continue to enjoy. Astounding!!!
Just like me...😭😭😭
Same over here. I am 49 by the way.
9 Dislikes know nothing about music. Thats one of the greatest.
I can only think they are all wearing a stained nightgown muttering "barrr.. hum bug" as they sit huddled against a flickering candle .....
Focusing on 9 dislikes of c1300 ratings is poor.
this song is one of the most beautiful songs EVER... touches my heart every time
One of the most defining voices of the 80s.
keep the vampires from your door ..lol ..
Seriously , one of the best lyrics i've ever read ..

We took everything for granted in 1987 😊
what a fucking amazing perfomance ...
Jules throwing in some jazz feels. Extraordinary
A stunning delivery, just beautiful, top performance! class,
Just the most gorgeous song and what a beautiful performance. Holly’s voice just washes over me. This song means so much to me and always has ❤
Holly's still got it. Such a powerful and unique voice. Easy on the jazz noodling though, Jools..
Superb performance all round... What a voice Holly has...
Amazing...music hasn't got better than this
Still as good today as ever. Beautiful classic .🤎😎
I love this song, when it first came out, I had my arms wrapped around this lass named Tanya, 20 years later they are still there, love u Tan,x
Fair enough mate 👍🏻
20 years? The song came out in 1984, 34 years ago.
oh god..all the feels
Thats awesome. I wrapped my arms around a Tania to this song...unfortunatly, not right now
Have you let go yet?
Holly Johnson is so talented
Potentially, simply the greatest pop ballad ever written.
Beautiful song, I've got chills everytime I hear it❤️

Perfectly put, thanks!
Frankie WAS my teenage years. Beautiful music
Even in 2021, this is one of the GREATEST versions of The Power of Love I will ever hear.
Stunning vocal, what a presence? Easily as good as the original, I prefer it and I thought the studio version was perfect, Wow! Thank you Holly, outrageous!

I agree, beautiful Truth never ages.. thanks

Who if us would do the same
No one. I understand the tremendous God we serve now. But I do think it's a good song, if inaccurate.@@thetruthnothingelse5033
This is by far , the most beautiful lovesong which ever was written and performed.
Thank you Billy 🙏🏻♥️
Billy ?
Outstanding. Holy has a gift, hes never lost it
Beautiful, gorgeous, everything
miss the 80s...
Maybe the best song of 80s
One of their most underrated songs.
I am just so relieved Holly can still sing! He sounds really good
Same sounds like in 80’s
This is my absolute favorite song..forever.❤️
Amazing.. the best song ever to see the light of day ...and Holly can still rock it !!
This was my wedding dance in 95.
One of the best songs ever written
fantastic
The most passionately perfect LOVE SONG
ever written! ONLY
HOLLY AKA FRANKIE could ever do this eloquently elegant song justice the way that he sings it!! 😍 Thank you for sharing this rare 💎 gem!$
It's a bit of a shame this gets sort of lumped in as a Xmas song as I think it's genuinely one of the greatest songs of all time

Holly's voice is just velvet...
I cry everytime like a baby, when I listen to this song. I love my girfriend since one year more than anything and even when this song is played on the radio at work I have to fight against the tears, because she's the love of my life and I feel every word in this song only for her...

Well said, I wonder if you are still with her
This song always takes me on a journey in my imagination every time I hear it. What a talent he is Bravo!
Best song ever.
Beautiful ❤️✌️
STUNNING performance
I love holly
Jools ballsed up the piano playing big time.
Great voice
Sublime
Beautiful song. I love his sound, unique and so much emotions.
80s had the best music. Best bands, best singers, best song writers
Truly amazing perfect divine song sung by the only singer to it justice . So not a Christmas song and so so much more .
My head is sweating and I have goose pimples. If you want to make a popular song, don't forget the string section.
Fantastic
I have loved FGTH since they first came out. This is one of the best romance songs ever. Love his voice and words
So emotionnal. The Voice, the honesty and the talent !
RIP Guy it’s been a lot of years worked with you when this was a hit it reminds me of good times
He's still alive
@@sandradalton1611 don't think hees talking about Holly.. think his mates names guy
@@mooseyladI wasn’t he was a work mate died to young
Holly Johnson is one of the best singers from the 80's, still sounds great! love the bit where he sings "when the chips are down, I'll be around".

To All Liverpudlians who remember that cold, Snowy, Wintry December in 1984
I do, Like it was yesterday,
Making that long trek back home from Flintlocks Night Club in Wood Street, Liverpool City Centre, To Breck Road, Everton ;)
In the days when most of us could not afford taxis home...................
But all Liverpool Girls were proper fit ( unless you were sober ;)
They still are fit - I'm married to one :-)
His voice is better as an older man.
ANGELIC!!!!🙏🙏 MAKE LOVE YOUR GOAL💟💖🥰 . BEAUTIFUL LYRICS!!! HOLLY.🇬🇧 SIMPLY HAD TO PLAY THIS TODAY IN A WORLD THAT HAS GONE CRAZY 🤯.
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' an' rushin' inside of me, eh
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine, divine, divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
❤️💖❣️
