When I heard this on Miami vice I got sad because I would’ve loved to live in a time where people were happy and lively and had great music and movies and had a cool culture now this life is messy and I always dream of living life back then. The music was pure and real too.
When I first heard this song on Miami Vice i didn't know how a song could be this good..? Absolutely amazing song.. I don't have the words to Express how much i love this song..
When you see an actual song (not a cover) on a TV show it can really elevate both... Miami Vice reversed the trend in the 80s of using cover versions...
This was one of the best albums of the 80's and this was one of the top love songs of the greatest decade. Any song that made it on Vice was a great hit. Long live the 80's!!!!
@@MrLawnboy77I never recall hearing it on the radio at all. I didn’t find this song until I borrowed the CD from the library about 10 years ago. It’s a great one!
Sending very belated condolences. I’m sure of how special you both are, if this magical song was ‘yours’. Par Avion will be playing when Shawn takes your hand to join her.✨💫✨
The 80s left a taste in my mind for music and lyrics that can never be replaced. Yes, a lot of Miami Vice episodes helped launch these songs into orbit. Back then, the television was our computer and cell phone. I remember when Friday Night Videos came on through the air and not cable, because we lived in the country. You were lucky to have a soda pop, and if you had some peanuts and a radio nearby you were in heaven. We had to drive to the mall, pretty far, to buy a cassette tape of your desire. Things are just so instant and fast now and it makes me want to go back. I remember the first time I heard Mike and the Mechanics, Silent Running, I was stone cold hooked. Funny how the instruments and lyrics are used by Phil Collins on his hits. Hope everyone is doing ok.
Remember recording this song onto my own personal "Miami Vice" compilation cassette. It included stuff from Phil Collins, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Glen Frey, Jan Hammer, Dire Straits, Philip Bailey, Robert Palmer, The Cars, Don Henley and CHIC.
This always reminds me of Del's theme at the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles where Steve Martin realizes Del has no home and goes back to get him. Both this song and that film are two great things from a great decade
Watcher3223 fucking idiots , & I'm only an 80's model . F a lot better then today's anything , today them flees have to be naked , or guys/ girls &or , both have to use obscene language to get anywhere , THATS PATHETIC !!
YES Miami Vice............what a "fantastic" show............listening to this........brings back just how great that show was/IS..........the music bits..........made it to a level on its own etc.................
Oh yes high school days.. Where did those good times go. Remember every Friday night would set VCR to record Vice and then go out on a date. I am 57 now and those years by far were the best ones of my life. Music has never been the same or will be. A great time to grow up an Iowan farm boy
I am so with u all. Was in mid 20s during these awesome years. No times or music will EVER be the same. 60 this year. Things/times sure have gone south since then. All who agree, thumbs up.
Oh the 80s...the best decade of all time...the best music..the best bands...the best movies...the best friends from school...the... best memories...the best of the best...oh...this song touched my heart very deeply...Too bad that today's songs are not like those from the 80s!Thanks for post it treasure from the past...*hugs*
This hit from Mike and The Mechanics was heard on the Miami Vice episode, Yankee Dollar, which aired on January 17, 1986. Miami Vice will always be one of my favorite all time shows. It was the first to combine MTV with police action drama.
This song takes me back to my first love from back in the day. She grew apart, I never did. In the end, I had to let go, but my heart never really did. I heard from her a few years later. She actually called before she left the continent. Now she's on the other side of the planet living her dream. Sometimes, at sunset, just before the last limb of the sun disappears below the horizon, I sing a few lines from this song. When you rise over her land, take my love with you great Sol and give it to her. Let her know I'll be waiting here for so long. Par avion.
Oh man, I'm so sorry. There are just no words for this type of tragedy. I lost my Sister when she was 16. She never got to hear this song and I never got to say goodbye.
Another day has passed me by And there's an island in the sun To see me through Another day in paradise But there's no reason, there's no rhyme Without you Here comes the night (night) Here comes the dreaming of you Breathing your love in me Here comes the night (night) Here comes the feeling I've been Waiting here for so long I've been waiting here for so long There's a time and there's a place When we can share the silver night Silent room In my bed an empty space 'cause there's no other in my life Only you Here comes the night (night) Here comes the dreaming of you Breathing your love in me Here comes the night (night) Here comes the feeling I've been Waiting here for so long I've been waiting here for so long Here comes the night Here comes the dreaming of you Breathing your love in me Here comes the night (night) Here comes the feeling I've been Waiting here for so long I've been waiting here for so long
+Andrew Berridge Me too..... I discovered this song in that episode, in which the flight attendant dies of overdose .... Very sad .... She was the girlfriend of Sonny ....
Listened to this nonstop after it’s release. Fell in love for the first time, & this song was our anthem. He worked weeks at a time away, & i would miss him so desperately, especially at night. Par Avion ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had the opposite experience. I was a huge Genesis fan and bought this album the day it came out. Par Avion was immediately my favorite song on the album and then when I heard it on Vice I was all jazzed up!
I hear you bro. This song was played by me I think over and over one night in 1989 when I was deeply troubled by life. It helped me calm down then and every time I hear this song, salt water wells in my eyes to quote Julian Lennon. Peace to you bro and all of you who were growing up in the 80s.
I'm not far behind you, bro. I've been missing the '80's for the last 15 years. They were so much better than this sorry-ass decade as well as the last one. Seems like everything just went to shit after '00.
Ong Hui. Koh same here....there isn;t a day that passes by where I think about that unforgettable 80s decade, to me, the BEST decade of all, the people, fashions, music, ...everything....im not fully happy, something was left in 1984 and I long for it day in and day out, if there was a time machine, I would not hesitate a minute to use it and go back for ever and stay there for ever. feel sad. miss the 80s so badly.... \
+MiamiViceRocks1 I totally agree with you, except for some of the questionable fashion trends; i.e. mullets, jeri curls, spandex, excessively short shorts. Lol. Even as child I remember thinking WTF? But other than that, it was the greatest decade ever! And yes, 1984 was a landmark year. That's when we first got cable and if I wasn't watching my cartoons or other favorite shows (V, Miami Vice, The A-Team), it was all about MTV. I remember that year like it happened yesterday and I was only in first grade. If you ever happen to come across a time machine, please let me know. I'd give anything to go back and get out of this horrible decade/century.
Phil Collins' vibes here and it's sang by Mike Rutherford I recognized his voice because he made an album in the early 80's which failed totally. This track was in miami Vice's episode I don't remember the title but yeah I'm a fan of these series🙂
Love. I remember I first discovered this song back in '00 by accident when I was searching Mike and the Mechanics on Napster. It touched me very deeply. I couldn't believe I'd never heard it before and couldn't stop listening to it. It was so, so beautiful. Songs like this are timeless. Thank you, Mike & tM
This is a song that makes you think of another beautiful wonderful person in your life. You are a blessed individual if you have such a person. Great song..
I first remember this song from the love scene in the movie "The Last Fling" with John Ritter and Connie Sellecca. Perfect song for that scene. Made for TV but I related to it. Then on Miami Vice, but not listed in the credits. I finally discovered the name of the song and realized I had the Mike & the Mechanics album. Great surprise; beautiful song!
When I hear this song, I picture a person who has lost the love of his/her life. Lying in bed allows time for reflection and the feeling of deep loss, maybe wishing that tonight will be the night the two are finally reunited either in dreams or in death. Too deep? Sorry, it's just what I believe.
Un amor de melodía, un love of song con esteenae hermosísimo tema o canción,me truenan hasta los huesos de emoción de hoir a John Kervin y estos músicos instrumentistas que asen posible esta famosísima esta rola o cancione o song o melodia .

Its funny. As a tween back in the 80's, I guess I didn't appreciate this song when I was first exposed to it on Miami Vice's Yankee Dollar episode. Decades later, rewatching that episode as a middle age person - I finally appreciated how beautiful this song was. Now it's one of my favorite 80's songs.
밤에 샤워를 하다가 갑자기 이 곡이 뜬금 없이 생각이 나서 유튜브로 검색해서 듣다가 댓글보니 저와 동갑이신 분 인 것 같아서 반가워서 댓글 답니다. All I Need Is A Miracle이 좋아서 1987년 고1때로 기억하는데 3천원주고 동네 레코드숍에서 앨범을 LP로 구입했어요. 앨범을 들어보니 Par Avion도 맘에 들어서 자주 들었었고, 1987년에 이수만 씨가 진행하던 '젊음의 음악캠프'에 엽서 보내서 이 곡 신청하기도 했었어요. 80년대 아름다운 곡들이 많아서 휴대전화에 가득 넣고 종종 듣습니다.

Which season of Miami vice please tell me it would help me so much and your channel is awesome
That's when I first heard the song
@@generalhezakiyageorge3070 Season 2; Yankee Dollar. Song was playing when Crockett's lady friend was overdosing.
How ironic that Mike Rutherford used the line 'another day in paradise' four years before his bandmate Phil Collins.^^
Me and My late wifes song.....Shawn passed on April 6, of last year. This was Our song. I miss you Babydoll. Ill Love you always and forever. FLS
beautiful words
sorry for your loss -stay strong buddy!
Dude, you're makin me cry.
Makes my heart cry...

Yes, a lot of Miami Vice episodes helped launch these songs into orbit.
Back then, the television was our computer and cell phone.
I remember when Friday Night Videos came on through the air and not cable, because we lived in the country.
You were lucky to have a soda pop, and if you had some peanuts and a radio nearby you were in heaven.
We had to drive to the mall, pretty far, to buy a cassette tape of your desire.
Things are just so instant and fast now and it makes me want to go back.
I remember the first time I heard Mike and the Mechanics, Silent Running, I was stone cold hooked.
Funny how the instruments and lyrics are used by Phil Collins on his hits.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Yes the voice of the late great Paul Young..what a voice..😢
It's not Paul Young or Paul Carrick....it's a guy called John Kirby who did this and "You're the one" on the first Mechanics album.
I had no idea...thnks for the information
Brilliant song! The beat was also used later on in 1991 in Michael Cretu´s super project "Enigma" and featured the track "Callas Went Away".
Remember recording this song onto my own personal "Miami Vice" compilation cassette. It included stuff from Phil Collins, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Glen Frey, Jan Hammer, Dire Straits, Philip Bailey, Robert Palmer, The Cars, Don Henley and CHIC.

This always reminds me of Del's theme at the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles where Steve Martin realizes Del has no home and goes back to get him. Both this song and that film are two great things from a great decade
Reminds me of that too! That song is Power to Believe (Instrumental) by The Dream Academy.
I remember hearing this song on Miami vice, when it first aired.
I remember that episode. It was beautifully done. My favorite
One of the best !
S02E13 - "Yankee Dollar"
Gray Just watched it on Cozi TV just now. Classic Miami Vice.
Me too. That was the first time I'd ever heard it, and I still love it to this day. One of my all time favorites.
Great song. For some reason I always listen to it when I am sad. really underrated group
So true my friend
Me too, sadness
Me too your are in good vompany
You not alone
One of the best songs ever made.
You can see and listen to Mr. John Kirby singing a song back in 2012 here: czcams.com/video/HrCaC_qyYAw/video.html.

This song makes me cry buckets of tears… and I can sing it...
This is because you love someone too much :) It happened to me too some 30 years ago
Así es,, duele asta las Entrañas ciaoo
Par Avion...a song made when music actually sounded good. Long gone.
Caught this song watching reruns of Miami Vice. Seriously this series had the best music.
How this never became a hit, but "The Living Years" did, is beyond me. I really don't understand Top 40 Pop Radio, sometimes.
Radio stations love being real finicky and fickle about what is and what isn’t too 40 radio friendly in terms of potential good song.
YES Miami Vice............what a "fantastic" show............listening to this........brings back just how great that show was/IS..........the music bits..........made it to a level on its own etc.................
One of their best songs ever....
Even now all these years later, such a beautiful and haunting song. Paul Carrack I believe. This album was tragically underrated
Mike and the Mechanics solved the Enigma! Callas went away Par avion!
What a relaxing melodic tune. Bringing back memories of high school, and "Miami Vice"
Oh yes high school days.. Where did those good times go. Remember every Friday night would set VCR to record Vice and then go out on a date. I am 57 now and those years by far were the best ones of my life. Music has never been the same or will be. A great time to grow up an Iowan farm boy
shut up.
yes its 2017, and my music is still in 80s !
Marcus H You are not the only one. It was THE decade ! music has no soul nowadays
Miami Vice brought me here this show just had a great soundtrack
This was played on one of my favorite Miami Vice episodes

Same here.

i agree. The self-titled album is full of classic songs like "All I Need is a Miracle", "Par Avion", "You Are the One" and "Silent Running".

Another day has passed me by
And there's an island in the sun
To see me through
Another day in paradise
But there's no reason, there's no rhyme
Without you
Here comes the night (night)
Here comes the dreaming of you
Breathing your love in me
Here comes the night (night)
Here comes the feeling I've been
Waiting here for so long
I've been waiting here for so long
There's a time and there's a place
When we can share the silver night
Silent room
In my bed an empty space
'cause there's no other in my life
Only you
Here comes the night (night)
Here comes the dreaming of you
Breathing your love in me
Here comes the night (night)
Here comes the feeling I've been
Waiting here for so long
I've been waiting here for so long
Here comes the night
Here comes the dreaming of you
Breathing your love in me
Here comes the night (night)
Here comes the feeling I've been
Waiting here for so long
I've been waiting here for so long
Thank you for your time in putting out this post.
Thanks this song have real real spirit of Miami.

Feel like that many a night since my Beloved passed. Waiting for when she appears and says its time to go together into infinity.

Great band and song 👍👍
Sonny had no luck with girls
what an awesome, beautiful song!!
I've loved this song since I was 12..love the lyrics
This was sampled in Enigma's "Callas Went Away" (1990). Both songs are great!
I think it was also sampled in If You're Not the One by Daniel Bedingfield.
Enigma has a very long history with Genesis. They also sampled Fading Lights for "I'll Love You and I'll Kill You".
I remember hearing this on the MV reruns, along with Nobody's Perfect. A really great band.

Its funny. As a tween back in the 80's, I guess I didn't appreciate this song when I was first exposed to it on Miami Vice's Yankee Dollar episode. Decades later, rewatching that episode as a middle age person - I finally appreciated how beautiful this song was. Now it's one of my favorite 80's songs.
this is in my top 10 songs of all time. "I've been waiting here for sooo long"
Beautiful song. Shame he didn't sing more songs with them.
Great tune, so haunting
Miami Vice. If only they made a fusion of great programmes and music like that now.
I remember findiing this song on the album..WOW..was blown away..such a great song..thanks for posting
I lost a good friend who used to play this on the piano.
I agree with you I feel it is very overlooked too! This is like a song I can play late into the night with a woman!!!
The best song by this grouping. I listened to this in the dark innumerbale times back in the day as it reminded me...

중학교 2학년때(1985년) 이 음악을 듣고 얼마나 좋았던지 ㅎㅎ 35년이 더 지났는데도 기억하고 듣고있는데 여전히 좋아요 감사합니다 ^^♡♡♡
밤에 샤워를 하다가 갑자기 이 곡이 뜬금 없이 생각이 나서 유튜브로 검색해서 듣다가 댓글보니 저와 동갑이신 분 인 것 같아서 반가워서 댓글 답니다. All I Need Is A Miracle이 좋아서 1987년 고1때로 기억하는데 3천원주고 동네 레코드숍에서 앨범을 LP로 구입했어요. 앨범을 들어보니 Par Avion도 맘에 들어서 자주 들었었고, 1987년에 이수만 씨가 진행하던 '젊음의 음악캠프'에 엽서 보내서 이 곡 신청하기도 했었어요. 80년대 아름다운 곡들이 많아서 휴대전화에 가득 넣고 종종 듣습니다.
