I’m here 2024 March 80’s baby listening what I came into the world amazing learning this song from Miami Vice episode beautiful song born 85’ my born era I know those were the days for all that grew up on this
1985: still amazing after all these years. The video was far ahead of its time, and Godley and Creme, with Trevor Horn producing, made a record that still stands the test of time.
This is one of the most underrated songs and music videos in history. The music is perfect, the lyrics are simple and make the point without being too wordy. A gem of simplicity. The music, the mix, wow, really, every time I hear it I get goosebumps!!! And as for the video, is just a masterpiece, it is an amazing piece of art, you have that the technology to morph didn't exist at the time, these are simple and basic wipe effects done with video that was capture on "tape". That's right, the material no matter how good the camera, and lenses were was put into a tape, no digital stuff. It is just amazing, thaks Goodley and Creme!!!!
My dad borrowed my car a while back and left his 80s nu-wave mix CD in the stereo for me to listen to. He told me to check out this one at the end and said it was on an episode of Miami Vice. The first time I listened to this song all the way through, I got chills. This is one of the most gorgeous songs I’ve ever heard - I can’t believe I haven’t heard it on any of the big 80s radio stations or Spotify playlists! Was it this underrated back then, too?
On the strength of the song and the video, I bought the LP; god only knows what landfill it's in now, along with the rest of my LPs, and that's Shame On Me.
Was this from definitely Miami or Irish Eyes Are Crying? Either way, Michael Mann and Anthony Yerkovich knew how to pick the songs that best fit the mood.
My daughter just heard this song in a grocery store in Carnation, WASHINGTON !!!!!! She called to tell me , but I couldn't find it on UA-cam , so between her and her husband they got "Godley& Creme-cry . I just watched it 6 times .GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember driving on a gray, rainy summer day and this song came on, almost perfectly to the rhythm of the windshield wipers. I've never forgotten that.
@seanpratchler1888 --That's a great story, and I can relate because something similar happened to me. I was once stopped at a railroad crossing, with Tom Petty's _American Girl_ playing on the radio. The crossing's lights and bell were were exactly in sync with the song's refrain. And I mean exactly. I couldn't but laugh out loud, and because I was alone in the car, it must have made a weird site to the other drivers alongside. I didn't care, it was a great moment.
What an incredible song weaved in to an incredible scene - Charlie transforming into Crocket and appearing to Cali - in the best episode of the series.
Brings back happy memories. I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriend's house after work on Fridays. We would snuggle on the couch and watch Miami Vice. This is one of the songs they played. Time marches on...we later got married and Miami Vice was canceled. Jump ahead 3 kids and 22 years later and she left me for a doctor. I sure do miss Miami Vice...makes me want to cry!
Rocks my soul for better or for worse. My late wife passed in December, but her cognition faltered so fast, we never had that moment to acknowledge the end. This song says it all…
The music is haunting and perfectly matched with the stirring vocals. Reminds me of Roy Orbison and Chris Isaac....if these two artists' works were mixed together by IA it would sound like this!!
Dropping ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just by pumping the brakes, pulling up slow to an off ramp stop light. Cop previously in pursuit passes, turns right - "Cryyyyy"- light turns green.
I had forgotten about this song! I was on a long drive home and was listening to one of my favorite channels on Sirius: 80's. This tune came on, and the wave of bittersweet memories of childhood, love, and addiction to music had rushed through me. The experience brought back to a fleeting state of mind with no worries. I'm so glad that I was reunited with this tune!
I was listening to XM 80s Driving when I heard this song. My jaw dropped. I Loved this song. I scrambled to see the title so I could play it over and over again. I loved the 80s. Merry Christmas.
If you ever had a broken heart watch this. You're not the only one who feels pain. It means you are human. This is why it is so horrible for humans to compete with one another. It leads to a deadening of compassion. Thank you Godley & Creme.
@@slagit ... sure, but we don't live in a communist country. We live in a crony-capitalist country. Predatory capitalism going up. Socialism going down. More bailouts please.
I remember watching this on Friday Night videos after it has been on Miami Vice. The 80s were full of good times. I was only 10 in 1985, but I remember all the 80s very well. I am now a God on a synthesizer thanks to videos like this one and many others.
It was in a MiamiVice episode. That’s where I first heard it back when it first aired. I listened to acid rock like Black Sabbath, Cream etc Personally I don’t think I have ever heard it on the radio. Like I said, I didn’t really listen to this genre at the time. But it sure worked in that Miami Vice episode. That was the Ted Nugent episode.
The members of 10cc will be remembered for a lot of the music they made. But I wonder if 'I'm Not In Love' and 'Cry' are the most significant. The production, writing, sound and emotional impact of both songs are all top tier.
They were masters at making genuinely experimental and daring songs that retain pop sensibilities at their core. Two brilliant recordings, ahead of their time.
It's a bit evocative of I'm Not In Love, in that it's got a very pared-down rhythmic backing track, and the emotional vocal out front is everything. It's a great song. I have to say though that I'm Not In Love is a masterpiece, particularly for its time.
That's right. Once graham Gould and Eric Stewart who founded the band started to impose thier songwriting commerciality on the band. Eric Stewart took control from then on. The og band was over. Godley and creme were heading in a different direction. The last song that Godley and recorded with 10 cc was never let it slip away. Godley didn't like the song due commercial nature. There is a terrific documentary about the band. Eric Stewart was in total control to the point where he ruled out Godley and cremes participation in future reunion. And he hires musicians who are friends of his. Godley said that he didn't know about the reunion and wasn't told about. The band tours without either of them. Godley says that those 10 cc days in the past
One of the songs that got me through one of the lowest points of my life. So many people disappointed me. So many let me down. At the end of it all it was all up to a 19-year-old by herself 400 miles away from home. She survived only to find other horrors to come into her life later down the road…She survived them too. She cried a lot and listened to this song over and over and over and over and over….
GTA 4 had a great taste in music with their in-game radio station. Before a mission I would sit in the car and let the song finish. Then I'd start playing again.
Many (including VH1's "Pop-Up Video") wrongly believe this brilliant video to be an early example of computer morphing, but the effects are achieved solely with skillful use of traditional lap dissolves and optical wipes.
nice sentiment, but.. in my experience with writing -- not so true. To make it universal, strip out some of the specifics... else you'll trip someone up going "ok, well.. I don't really identify with that" - i mean, this is universal cause the lyrics are beautifully, perfectly generic. - and I don't mean the generic in a bad way.
LYRICS: You don't know how to ease my pain You don't know You don't know how to ease my pain You don't know what the sound is darlin' It's the sound of my tears falling Or is it the rain? You don't know You don't know how to play the game And you cheat, you lie You make me want to cry You make me want to cry Cry You make me want to cry You don't know how to ease my pain, you don't know You don't know how to ease my pain Don't you hear any voices crying? That's the sound of our love dying Here comes the rain You don't know how to play the game And you cheat, you lie You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry You don't know You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry You don't even know how to say goodbye You make me want to cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriends house after work on Fridays. We would sit on the couch and watch Miami Vice. We later got married and Miami Vice got canceled. Skip ahead 22 years and she left me for a doctor...I sure do miss Miami Vice...makes me want to cry!
This song is a monument. Simple, effective, dramatic yet restrained, minimal yet so grandiose and brimming with presence, emotionally evocative, flawlessly produced and recorded. Just a statuesque recording that towers over so many of their peers. Not only the best single of the 80s but surely one of the greatest of all time. Lightning in a bottle kind of record that could come out today and still sound timeless. I’m always so struck by the sense of physical space and atmosphere that bassline portrays. It’s huge.
I still remember at the time it came out on MTV how cool this was as an example of the new video editing technology that was emerging with music videos gaining popularity, it was kinda groundbreaking for the time if I remember correctly. Holds up well, still gets me in the gut .
Romantic? It's exactly the opposite. It's about heartache, pain, and long suffering. Doesn't make it any less beautiful, though...probably even more so.
@@rikk319 No, it’s utterly romantic. You’re missing it if you think this is analytical. Heartache, pain and suffering is the major ingredient surrounding romanticism. Get it together ffs.
@@PS987654321PS Watching the man who bookends the video crying, and multiple other people showing varying degrees of negative emotions--hopelessness, worry, exasperation, and even rage. This is as much romance as "Every Breath You Take" is romantic. Sting has mentioned multiple times that the Police song is about a stalker...but it doesn't stop people from playing it at their wedding reception. FFS--the title of the song is "Cry", not "Romance". Sure, people can do what they want...but it doesn't change the original intent of the artists.
@@rikk319 Don’t confuse the video with the song. Also, it’s a mistake to conflate this song, or any other “romantic” song with Every Breath you Take. They are different songs. Also, romance is not all happiness, joy, positivity, hope, sentiment. For many, the notion of the romantic is fatalistic which is probably closer to the human condition and human experience. It no doubt though will differ from person the person and culture to culture.
The power of song to take you back to a special place and time...The fall of 1985, senior year of high school, all the friends I made that year and all the memories of a carefree youth...I miss it so much it really does make me wanna cry!😢
I'm all alone in my place of employment today and in backdrop of the hush of the building I here this song faintly playing. I am slightly confused because I know that it was the soft rock station playing, yet my mind is not wrapping around this song or who it is, but I know that it is hitting me in an emotional way that only comes once in a blue moon. I quickly search "make me want to cry" and thank god I was able to find this song. I am a music junkie and grew up all through the 80's, watched Miami Vice every Friday I could, yet somehow, someway this song circumvented my life until now. This has happened to me before, where a song comes to life at the right time after decades and I think to myself how glad I am that it didn't find me until now. I needed this today. I have been longing for the years that have passed and wonder how it all came and went before my eyes. I question whether or not it even happened, and yet it did. All these years of my youth that were full of excitement, hope and promise and now decades later I am wondering what this life is all meaning now. The "Groundhog Day" in and out of the same ol same ol, aging, looking in the mirror and wondering if all the wonder, splendour, and awe of life has left me. This song aches of nostalgia and it makes me want to find some way to reach out, reach back and get myself back to who I used to be. I work every day at getting better in some way, yet Im lost in this rat race and wish I could just be fearless and free again; when we were at that age that youth was forever, age was only for someone else and the world was going to be everything we wanted it to be. Of course that is not real, yet the belief that it somehow was is what drove me. It is what made me wake up each day and believe that just over the horizon was pure bliss within my grasp. God damn I miss those years. I miss my friends that have now long since moved away, grown up and changed beyond what I once knew. I am here now, and I will continue to do my best, yet I don't care what anyone says, these years of the 80's and early 90's were an era that no one will ever see again. I am so glad I grew up when I did, and even though I am older now I wouldn't trade it for anything. They were the best years of my life.
You’re gonna get thru this. Your attitude already says you’re able to persist & use whatever you’re feeling as a step towards something better. Luckily you did grow up during years that were more difficult than life today- it made you strong. Keep your chin up & anchor yourself In whatever makes you happy- music, memories & knowing you’re able to work thru anything life throws your way. You got this!
Take me back to a great time where friends and family were fully together. And to tell our happiness and triumphs, and to despair without telling a cell phone or doing a web search
You struck a chord with me. The last time my family was fully intact was in 1981, just shortly before we lost my dad to a motorcycle crash. We were able to continue, of course; we had to. And there are good memories from that time (my college days, my brothers and sister still liking me, my mother not hit by Altzheimer's yet). I can look back and think; "my god, we were all so damn young".
80's Memory Triggered.. Sitting around any one of our parents living room after school watching this on MTV with a group of friends before Mom and Dad got home from work 😊 Latchkey kids!!
Always makes me think of the Miami Vice episode Definitely Miami ending where Crockett meets up with Uncle Teddy one of the best episodes of the series. I am actually rewatching that episode right now.
I’ve been waiting years on this. Every other video that was uploaded was cut all to pieces or blocked because of copyright infringement. I would check back from time to time to see if the original video was posted. Excellent. Thank you
Absolutely timeless and beautiful song. And I love that Trevor Horn has a spot at the very end. I was 12 or so when I first saw this, although it's the 10CC song "I'm not in Love" that brings me back to this treasure.
Here in 2024. Just making sure this song is still timeless. It IS
This song still makes me cry in 2024. We waste so much time fighting sometimes only to remember how precious life is. No one lives forever.
I’m here 2024 March 80’s baby listening what I came into the world amazing learning this song from Miami Vice episode beautiful song born 85’ my born era I know those were the days for all that grew up on this
Cry
I've been knew this song will be timeless. I've said it since 1999
It surely is!
If you’re still listening to this in 2023 you’re an absolute legend!!
Everyone tells me that.
2024
The local am station plays it often.
Why thank you. I’m a Legende’ ☺️

With each passing year I miss the 80s more.
testify!! best decade EVER for music, movies & TV...
You ain't never lied!!!
Indeed
I completely agree with you
you are not alone with that thought
Will never forget this song in Miami Vice......Perfect.
Don't forget Beavis and Butthead.
Just watched this episode of Miami Vice last night, Ted Nugent episode. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
@@Melanie-u3k
Still packs a wallop!
Perfect
I agree.
The 80's should be designated as a tourist attraction. Quite an epic decade!
I miss those days. It makes me want to cry.
I hear you those where the day😂🎉
1985: still amazing after all these years. The video was far ahead of its time, and Godley and Creme, with Trevor Horn producing, made a record that still stands the test of time.
I was more partial to Max Headroom but this song a tear jerker!
or something from Peter Gabriel@@HDramboDwango
@@HDramboDwango : Max was funny at times.

@@bookFreak8191 Yes it was, I grew up in that time and it was a magnificent song but it never got the play or attention it deserved...
Equally impressive is "I'm Not In Love" from their time with 10CC. Lyrically simple, emotionally complex. They could paint a picture!
Also there direction of the Video. Godley and Creme came up with the face morphing filming and editing.
On the strength of the song and the video, I bought the LP; god only knows what landfill it's in now, along with the rest of my LPs, and that's Shame On Me.
Man, Miami Vice knew how to pick the best songs.
They just played the coolest songs off the radio of the day.
Miami Vice was awesome period
Was this from definitely Miami or Irish Eyes Are Crying? Either way, Michael Mann and Anthony Yerkovich knew how to pick the songs that best fit the mood.
"Definitely Miami", featuring Ted Nugent as the villain. One of my favorite episodes, and "Cry" provides the perfect background for a great scene.
The program was awesome, the music was fantastic, the whole of the 80’s was fabulous, bring back those days.
My daughter just heard this song in a grocery store in Carnation, WASHINGTON !!!!!! She called to tell me , but I couldn't find it on UA-cam , so between her and her husband they got "Godley& Creme-cry . I just watched it 6 times .GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember driving on a gray, rainy summer day and this song came on, almost perfectly to the rhythm of the windshield wipers. I've never forgotten that.
what kind of car?
@seanpratchler1888 --That's a great story, and I can relate because something similar happened to me. I was once stopped at a railroad crossing, with Tom Petty's _American Girl_ playing on the radio. The crossing's lights and bell were were exactly in sync with the song's refrain. And I mean exactly. I couldn't but laugh out loud, and because I was alone in the car, it must have made a weird site to the other drivers alongside. I didn't care, it was a great moment.
It definitely is a rainy day song
That's the beauty of music. It can transform even the most normal events into an eternal moment of magic.
Miami Vice still had the best sound track of any program still today!!!!
What a unique and mesmerizing song. Absolutely amazing. I was 12 when this came out (first heard it on Miami Vice), I’m almost 50 now. Time flies.
I was 18 years old in 1985 when this song came out.
I heard this for 1st time a few days ago watching Miami Vice for 1st time. Wow is all I can say. Very impressed.
I was 10. Lol.
What an incredible song weaved in to an incredible scene - Charlie transforming into Crocket and appearing to Cali - in the best episode of the series.
Same here. I turn 50this year....
Brings back happy memories. I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriend's house after work on Fridays. We would snuggle on the couch and watch Miami Vice.

Go buy a Corvette and leave the toilet seat up!
@@blackforest270 Would only be fitting. Can’t get the time back ever. You can only live and learn.
They all leave eventually
Oh, man!
I remember this song too from back in the day (Class of 82) but somehow the haunting vibe is even more sensual now!!
Same here man
One of the most powerful songs ever written, and probably the most moving video ever filmed.
and so unkown
I’m here…😊
Rocks my soul for better or for worse. My late wife passed in December, but her cognition faltered so fast, we never had that moment to acknowledge the end. This song says it all…
This song never gets old !!!
💞💗🔥💥💫
I love it!
The music is haunting and perfectly matched with the stirring vocals. Reminds me of Roy Orbison and Chris Isaac....if these two artists' works were mixed together by IA it would sound like this!!
Outro + driving around liberty at night = 🥲
GTA IV is a goated game.

In 1985, this was cutting edge video technology, very innovative for it's time
It was awesome then and it is still awesome today,over 35yrs later
Trevor Horn of the Buggles appears at the end.
Lol!! Yes🤣 but still looks great till this day😄
This video inspired Sledgehammer
One of the jewels of the 80's.

Music does that to us...music is truly magic. Real-life magic.
I first heard this one while stationed in Hanau Germany back in 84
The same thing happened to me.
A fleeting feeling of innocence and youth and optimism. All from a song.
I was listening to XM 80s Driving when I heard this song. My jaw dropped. I Loved this song. I scrambled to see the title so I could play it over and over again. I loved the 80s. Merry Christmas.
40 years later and it's still amazing
Cry and I’m not in love, two of the most iconic, interesting ballads ever made.
Wow, I see it exactly the SAME way
A song for 2024.
I haven’t heard this song in 37 years…Man I’m old
So am I.. .lol
You guys are not old,… you are as timeless as your memories…. Best wishes!!
If you ever had a broken heart watch this. You're not the only one who feels pain. It means you are human. This is why it is so horrible for humans to compete with one another. It leads to a deadening of compassion. Thank you Godley & Creme.
Yep...
Well said. Another reason to end capitalism.
@@davidhunternyc1 and destroy communism!

Finally! Found the "Original, Classic Video." THANK YOU!🤗👊
I was looking for it also! Glad it's back!
I was looking for it too. I thought it was ELP, but it's an offshoot.
I used to watch this on the old TBS weekend video series, Night Tracks.
We didn't have MTV, but we had Night Tracks and Friday Night Videos... NT was my introduction to New Wave, Brit Pop, the precursor to Alternative...
MIAMI VICE ANYONE?🤔
A great episode too. Arielle Dombasle as the bad woman. Sonny was smiltten.
I owe the whole Box set..meet Edward James Olmos in the early 2000s..Very nice Guy.
Burnett! You got something for me?
I remember watching this on Friday Night videos after it has been on Miami Vice. The 80s were full of good times. I was only 10 in 1985, but I remember all the 80s very well. I am now a God on a synthesizer thanks to videos like this one and many others.
I was 10 in 85 to great times.seen this on night tracks and video rock(PBS).I always feel asleep before Friday night videos.
I was 18 in the summer of 85
another 80's great song amazing stil exist
One of the most unforgettable music videos ever. The years have taken nothing away from it.
You can tell that some of these people were singing their hearts out. As one should when singing to this masterpiece. 🎤
Never got bored listening again n again..missed 80’s moments
I am 54 and grew up listening to 80’s rock and pop constantly. I have never heard this song until today.
It was in a MiamiVice episode. That’s where I first heard it back when it first aired. I listened to acid rock like Black Sabbath, Cream etc Personally I don’t think I have ever heard it on the radio. Like I said, I didn’t really listen to this genre at the time.

What a mess ❤ it 😂
I watched Miami Vice too, but saw this on MTV first. Immediate favorite.
This is one of those haunting songs that puts you in a particular time and place, even if you were never actually there before. 10/10
Back in the 80s a friend told me what a great video this was. I heard the song but never saw the video until now.
From a time when MTV played music videos and Music Was Awesome.
Now, MTV sucks ass!!!

GTA 4 had a great taste in music with their in-game radio station. Before a mission I would sit in the car and let the song finish. Then I'd start playing again.
A great video and song timeless
This song is 80s/Miami vice all in one. Mannnnn, build a time machine someone please!!!
Still awesome in 2024. A timeless classic.

@@davidkennedy585 you are doing it wrong.
I remember seeing it on MTV in the middle eighties. Two of the four guys that made up 10cc. Gotta love this video! It’s ingenious to say the least -
MTV was so much fun and exciting back in 84-85-86 you couldnt wait for the new weird videos to come out📺📡🎶
Back when MTV actually played music. Now it's just trash.
A very high impactful emotional song ever produced ...Thank you Godley and Creme.
LYRICS:
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain
You don't know what the sound is darlin'
It's the sound of my tears falling
Or is it the rain?
You don't know
You don't know how to play the game
And you cheat, you lie
You make me want to cry
You make me want to cry
Cry
You make me want to cry
You don't know how to ease my pain, you don't know
You don't know how to ease my pain
Don't you hear any voices crying?
That's the sound of our love dying
Here comes the rain
You don't know how to play the game
And you cheat, you lie
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me want to cry
You don't know
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me want to cry
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You make me want to cry
Cry
Cry
Cry

Awesome
I prefer the extended version cat get enuff!
Dedicated to my late husband

Imma singin this karaoke night

Incredibly simple but profound and powerful. I get chills with this video.

I was struck similarly by it only it was back in the 80's when it actually came out.

Proof of the goodness. Good then.
Good now. Truth in music and life is the best. Even when it makes us cry. 💙
@@pattiturner8080 crying is healing and I have done a lot of it but laughed a lot more I hope
Sorry it took you forever to find it it's been around forever
@@hankkingsley9300 . Right😏🤭🙂 ...
just goes to show we how we can continue to learn and grow.
This Has been a Timeless Favorite sience GTA 4 First song on LRR Station.. ❤️ back in 2012
Decided to watch some old Miami Vice episodes and this song came up. Beautifully haunting...just like the femme fatal in the last scene.
Haha, with Ted Nugent! That one's incredible. They used the 12-inch version for that sequence. I like Castillo's staredown of that one guy.
Ha,just watched it "Definitely Miami"
Season 2 original air date 1.10.86 35 yrs later and as fresh as it was then
@@shelbycm7 I found my people!
Sonny didn't utter a single word😎
I remember in the 80's when I would go over to my girlfriends house after work on Fridays. We would sit on the couch and watch Miami Vice. We later got married and Miami Vice got canceled. Skip ahead 22 years and she left me for a doctor...I sure do miss Miami Vice...makes me want to cry!
I'm stunned every time I hear this song...such talent
One of the best Songs 👍👍👍👍
Bring back the 80's
Wow, I had also forgotten this song and the video, so good!
This song is a monument. Simple, effective, dramatic yet restrained, minimal yet so grandiose and brimming with presence, emotionally evocative, flawlessly produced and recorded. Just a statuesque recording that towers over so many of their peers. Not only the best single of the 80s but surely one of the greatest of all time. Lightning in a bottle kind of record that could come out today and still sound timeless.
I’m always so struck by the sense of physical space and atmosphere that bassline portrays. It’s huge.
I still remember at the time it came out on MTV how cool this was as an example of the new video editing technology that was emerging with music videos gaining popularity, it was kinda groundbreaking for the time if I remember correctly. Holds up well, still gets me in the gut .
One of the most beautiful and deeply romantic songs ever written. The production on this song is genius.
Romantic? It's exactly the opposite. It's about heartache, pain, and long suffering. Doesn't make it any less beautiful, though...probably even more so.
I love it even more today.
@@rikk319 No, it’s utterly romantic. You’re missing it if you think this is analytical. Heartache, pain and suffering is the major ingredient surrounding romanticism. Get it together ffs.
@@PS987654321PS Watching the man who bookends the video crying, and multiple other people showing varying degrees of negative emotions--hopelessness, worry, exasperation, and even rage.
This is as much romance as "Every Breath You Take" is romantic. Sting has mentioned multiple times that the Police song is about a stalker...but it doesn't stop people from playing it at their wedding reception. FFS--the title of the song is "Cry", not "Romance". Sure, people can do what they want...but it doesn't change the original intent of the artists.
@@rikk319 Don’t confuse the video with the song. Also, it’s a mistake to conflate this song, or any other “romantic” song with Every Breath you Take. They are different songs. Also, romance is not all happiness, joy, positivity, hope, sentiment. For many, the notion of the romantic is fatalistic which is probably closer to the human condition and human experience. It no doubt though will differ from person the person and culture to culture.
Classic song now in 2024.God,1985......39 years ago.No Biggie!
I had forgotten this song existed. So glad I stumbled on it again.
The year 1985 brought me here. Since I was their and this is apart of it and the 80s are a part of me No matter where I go their I am.
Miami Vice kid....80s hurts so good music🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my all time favorite songs. I love how they got Trevor Horn in near the end.
The power of song to take you back to a special place and time...The fall of 1985, senior year of high school, all the friends I made that year and all the memories of a carefree youth...I miss it so much it really does make me wanna cry!😢
Hanging out in the parking lot of Huffines Park Rec Center
me too senior in ht schiol
I'm all alone in my place of employment today and in backdrop of the hush of the building I here this song faintly playing. I am slightly confused because I know that it was the soft rock station playing, yet my mind is not wrapping around this song or who it is, but I know that it is hitting me in an emotional way that only comes once in a blue moon. I quickly search "make me want to cry" and thank god I was able to find this song. I am a music junkie and grew up all through the 80's, watched Miami Vice every Friday I could, yet somehow, someway this song circumvented my life until now. This has happened to me before, where a song comes to life at the right time after decades and I think to myself how glad I am that it didn't find me until now. I needed this today. I have been longing for the years that have passed and wonder how it all came and went before my eyes. I question whether or not it even happened, and yet it did. All these years of my youth that were full of excitement, hope and promise and now decades later I am wondering what this life is all meaning now. The "Groundhog Day" in and out of the same ol same ol, aging, looking in the mirror and wondering if all the wonder, splendour, and awe of life has left me. This song aches of nostalgia and it makes me want to find some way to reach out, reach back and get myself back to who I used to be. I work every day at getting better in some way, yet Im lost in this rat race and wish I could just be fearless and free again; when we were at that age that youth was forever, age was only for someone else and the world was going to be everything we wanted it to be. Of course that is not real, yet the belief that it somehow was is what drove me. It is what made me wake up each day and believe that just over the horizon was pure bliss within my grasp. God damn I miss those years. I miss my friends that have now long since moved away, grown up and changed beyond what I once knew. I am here now, and I will continue to do my best, yet I don't care what anyone says, these years of the 80's and early 90's were an era that no one will ever see again. I am so glad I grew up when I did, and even though I am older now I wouldn't trade it for anything. They were the best years of my life.
You’re gonna get thru this. Your attitude already says you’re able to persist & use whatever you’re feeling as a step towards something better. Luckily you did grow up during years that were more difficult than life today- it made you strong. Keep your chin up & anchor yourself In whatever makes you happy- music, memories & knowing you’re able to work thru anything life throws your way. You got this!
Thank you for your reply. The encouragement really means a lot.@@starckclubmusic9902
Take me back to a great time where friends and family were fully together. And to tell our happiness and triumphs, and to despair without telling a cell phone or doing a web search
You struck a chord with me. The last time my family was fully intact was in 1981, just shortly before we lost my dad to a motorcycle crash. We were able to continue, of course; we had to. And there are good memories from that time (my college days, my brothers and sister still liking me, my mother not hit by Altzheimer's yet).
I can look back and think; "my god, we were all so damn young".
80's Memory Triggered.. Sitting around any one of our parents living room after school watching this on MTV with a group of friends before Mom and Dad got home from work 😊 Latchkey kids!!
Hauntingly beautiful ❤️
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful song and the video is really good one of my favourite eighties songs thank you godly and creme
Excellent song. Reminds me of many times during my teens in the ‘80’s. 😊😢
I remember seeing this as a world premiere video on MTV.
Still in my playlist in 2024!
I only knew about Lisa edwards cover, this is awesome too
It's a very moving and powerful video
This reminds me of Miami vice on the beach ⛱️
i haven't heard this song in SO long. I love it!
Just learned this video was first use of "face morphing" technology.
-Thank you, Mark Goodman, for that bit of trivia.
The first time I heard this was on Miami Vice. Episode was " Definitely Miami". I'll never forget this song.
Happy New Year 2024 !!
I remember when Beavis and Butthead dissed this video.
Butthead: He's faking it.
Beavis: Yeah, he's not really taking a dump.
"Thingievision" hhhhhhhhhuh huh huh
3:48😨
@@peanutparker9501 AAAAAAH! STOP IT!!!
"I think it's over..."
"CRRRYYYYY!!!!"
"AAAAHHH!!"
Always makes me think of the Miami Vice episode Definitely Miami ending where Crockett meets up with Uncle Teddy one of the best episodes of the series. I am actually rewatching that episode right now.
Still listening to Godley and Creme, 30 years on. I'll never stop.
One of the best videos ever made, period
Another great Trevor Horn production.
luv his cameo at the end LOL
I’ve been waiting years on this. Every other video that was uploaded was cut all to pieces or blocked because of copyright infringement. I would check back from time to time to see if the original video was posted. Excellent. Thank you
A very unique video and powerful song. They don't make music like this anymore.
Absolutely timeless and beautiful song. And I love that Trevor Horn has a spot at the very end. I was 12 or so when I first saw this, although it's the 10CC song "I'm not in Love" that brings me back to this treasure.
I remember this from years ago. Was always ahead of its time. Still great today 2022.
