Everything by The Fixx is perfect 80s ear candy! Check out "One Thing Leads to Another", "Red Skies At Night" and "Secret Separation" for more of their awesomeness! ✌🎶😎
... and "Deeper and Deeper." That one was pretty damned cool, too. =)
@@jamesanthony8438 Yes it is! Love that one too!
The Fixx - Precious Stone is pretty good.
Ear candy is the perfect term for this.
Very Well Said! 😃❤️👍
The Fixx is an very Underappreciated Underarated Band. Try Stand or Fall, or One Thing Leads to Another
Red Skies..... best song ever.
One of the best songs of the 80's. Stand or fall and Red skies are another great songs to hit by the fixx.
The Fixx was definitely one of those groups that had that defining 80's sound. Their songs "One Thing Leads To Another" and "Red Skies At Night" are great if you want to come back to them.
Red Skies at Night is the JAM.
Stand or Fall is another great one.
um, one beer leads to another is they way we always sung that song.
An almost-forgotten band, which is pretty much a crime. "Red Skies at Night" and "Deeper and Deeper" are my favorites.
Reach The Beach is filled with great compositions. Saw this first tour in support of the album. Surprisingly true to their recorded material. A memorable group from the New Wave Era. Plenty of great music from this genre.
"New Wave" comes in different flavors: SynthPop, Post Punk, Rock, Ska, Blue-eyed Soul and even a little Reggae. This type of music was not played in "Pop" radio stations. "New Wave" was playing in "Alternative or Underwound" stations. Here in Los Angeles, KROQ 106.7 is where we listen to all this great music back in the day. The only reason that these amazing "New Wave" bands event got radio play, later in time, was due to MTV showing their videos. In Europe, "New Wave" is known as "New Romantic".
1st time i heard this was in san diego! they dont play this in nyc
One thing leads to another, great Fixx song
Cool that you reacted to The Fixx.. an extremely talented band with deep intellectual lyrics, sonically layered textured sounds, with yes, kind of hypnotic and smooth rhythms with the new wave beats. Anyway, they were very popular for a few years, and have a lot of great songs.. "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies at Night".. are excellent.
From what I’ve read the song is about them getting their first payday for the band. They were struggling and the check had a couple more zeros in it than they were expecting and it basically saved their asses.
that would have been a good story but not true. Its about meeting the dali laima. czcams.com/video/VWT0BAWJLJo/video.html&ab_channel=ProfessorofRock
The Fixx definitely had that New Wave sound. They were also a band that addressed a lot of our latent fears of nuclear annihilation. Gen X had a lot of that, underlying our "party" culture. Current generations never had to deal with this, not like we did. It explains a lot..
New wave was a departure from the traditional rock sound. Some thing not heard before. I was a teenager in the 80’s and this was part of a great soundtrack ! ❤️
New wave wasn't about smoking herb and chilling. New wave was about non-conformity, pushing the envelope, being unique and often they'd try to put deep lyrics behind the songs. This song's mv was played a lot on MTV
These guys are still around! They have a cult following, so never sell them short. Amazing live band to this day.
Kinda like how ABBA is still rockin it. Now with their own avatars. The Fixx was so good, so 80's. Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Bee Gees to name a few, just such great music, miss it!
This is a Great Band. Totally 80's new wave. I was introduced by this band from my best friend in High School. He didn't play this song wasn't out yet but another one of there songs called Red Skies at night. You will enjoy it guaranteed
This is the epitome of 80’s new wave. I absolutely love it. Check “Our We Ourselves” “Stand or Fall”
Doubt its the epitome
"Are We Ourselves"
A criminally under rated band!
I was in my teens moving to my twenties in the 80s. I graduated in the Class of 1984. Went dancing almost every night in the summers and once or twice a month at the Mormon Church dances. School Dances...and club for teens as well as skating. The Fixx was a great band. I loved everything they put out. This song has so many memories. Me and my first car...1966 Comet Caliente 4 door BEAST!! Making out with girls in the back seat...or drive in movies at Sunset Drive in. Good times I wish I could go back too. I didn't smoke weed till I was 19 but that is my discovery of Rush and Pink Floyd and really learned how good The Fixx really are as a band...the Guitarist is awesome, and the bass line is EPIC, and the writing is on point. But this was a great song to dance to as well.
These 80s ' New Wave' Songs were introduced to us by the 'new' videos played on MTV on our televisions. If they were in popular rotation there then radio would chart them for play. The only other way we could listen to this new music was to go out to buy the record or cassette to play in our home and/ or our cars. Typical stoners did not care to ' chill' to new wave music back then. It was too new and disruptive to their ' chill vibe' Your ' I Don't know' tune at the end of your reactions really says it all about you guys lol
I love The Fixx! Try my favorite song by them, One Thing Leads To Another! The New Wave music fit right into the second British Invasion! We danced to New Wave so it was not all just chill music! You had to be there!😂. The eighties were so much fun! We had so much variety in our music…I miss it! ❤️❤️
It's hard to find a bad song by The Fixx. Great band. I actually saw them in concert about 15 years ago, and they sounded perfect.
You guys should react to…
The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another
🎸🤘
not my favorite by them I like red skies or stand or fall better.
It was a bigger hit but Saved by Zero was a better song. It was my favorite by the band. The official video was really cool. The should have used the official video, not this lyric one.
This type of music really gave birth to AM Talk radio, as droves of people abandoned the FM dial in their cars.
The early 2000's did that to me for a while, then I decided to just stick to the Rock station after a while.
Most underrated 80’s band, I loooove The Fix.
Just something about The Fixx they are totally mesmerizing. I’ve loved them my whole life.
The Fixx. Kind of a funky new wave group. Nice. No, we danced to this back then lol Chillin and dancing.
Your ideas about "chill" and drugs are way off. We first heard the Fixx and rocked to it! Intelligent, atmospheric and rockin'funky.
That's what I was thinking. I guess different people hear things differently.
I concur. They really don't understand. In the 80s, Hair Metal was all about sex and alcohol/drugs, Pop (i.e., Michael Jackson, Madonna, Billy Ocean, etc., etc., etc.) generally had no deep meaning to their songs. Alternative music (including all of the sub-genres that included Modern and New Wave) tended to have deep, thought provoking ideas behind them (not always, but in general).
@@jaynagerber7474 I mean, that's pretty much it. Humans with a need for more stimulation in the intelligence/emotion department will tend to like a broad spectrum of music, because most music genres embody just that. Pop and it's affiliates are just a couple of handfuls of genres. Think the history of the whole world. That's a lot of music to catch up on. When growing up in the 70s/80s young people had a wealth of choice. Things were plasticky and hollow from 1983-1987 inclusive. During that time, we didn't have much new stuff to satisfy us. But underground music was cool, if you knew the right people. I honestly like Rock, Jazz, Fusion, Prog, Metal, Hardcore, Western Classical, Alternative Dance, Ethnic Folk, Reggae and all the stuff spawning from Reggae, punk and most of the Black stuff and it just goes on and on. But I won't, because I know you get it. The proportion of listening time will depend on how much of that genre I like (not much for metal, considering the volume of stuff, I'm more proto/classic/thrash/skater, y'know, stuff with soul and a groove), or the mood I'm in during whatever cycle of life I'm going through. Bout sums it up, eh? Man, it really is Sunday morning, isn't it? Don't drink coffee and respond to comments.
I believe the lead singer, Cy Curnin, became a high fashion hat designer. Multitalented fellow
He speaks very fluent French too!!
Love this band. They always seemed to be overlooked as a great band in the eighties. Some of my favorite songs by them are
- Stand or Fall
- Red Skies
- Lost Planes
- The Strain
- Some People
- Secret Separation
- Are We Ourselves
- The Sign of Fire
- One Thing Leads to Another
The Fixx are in my opinion the best producers of Nighttime Music.
I can't believe this was chosen over "One thing leads to another" which was their biggest hit. New Wave was really more or less considered synth pop music.
This is a good song, I remember listening to this one on repeat!
"New wave" was a very broad spectrum term. Much of it was just garage band stuff with guitars and drums, and no "synth", like The Alarm, Elvis Costello, The Replacements, The Knack, Blondie.
@@marcmarc1967 "Synth pop" was understood to be distinct from "New Wave" initially (in fact, punk and New Wave bands were initially regarded as cut from the same cloth). But in later decades anything with an "80's sound" that wasn't hair metal was called "synth pop", regardless of whether a synth was the dominant instrument or not.
Class of 85! Didn't do no drugs just listened to great music!
In the 80’s we did a LOT of hanging at the mall, skating rink, video game rooms, and cruising parking lots. Songs like this were vibes. I remember playing pinball or skating around with friends and just grooving to the music back then. Love the reactions ❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
"Saved By Zero" has an outer-spacey vibe to it.
"One Thing Leads To Another" is The Fixx's biggest hit and signature song. Also check out "Are We Ourselves?," which is short and to the point.
"Red Skies" is another good one of theirs, but listen to the original 1983 version, NOT the re-recorded 1987 version, which the band themselves didn't even like, but the record label forced them to do.
These guys were the first concert I went to, way back in 1984. They still tour their butts off in the US at small venues.
Psychedelic furs-another new wave band-Love My Way has a similar vibe-but the Fixx's One thing Leads to Another to me is their best.
FYI-New Wave music just means another wave of British or European bands dominating the charts-it just happened to be the 80s instead of the 60s and most were synth bands.also most of the popularity of these bands were due to them being on MTV-in some cases their videos were more popular than the songs themselves. Ironically a lot of these bands like the Fixx are a bit faceless as not many people could tell you who were in these bands or what they looked like unless you stood out like Mike Score-lead singer for A Flock Of Seagulls or Colin Hay lead singer of Men At Work.
Love the Furs The Ghost in You
this music takes me back to easier days, The Fixx was great in the 80s. other great bands during this time, The CHURCH" , "THOMPSON TWINS" , "TIL TUESDAY" , ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN" , 'THE SMITHS" , "SUZANNE VEGA" , "OMD' orchestral maneuvers in the dark , "NEW ORDER" to name a few
One of my favorites from my teens. A great tune to drive to, particularly on the highway at night.
One Thing Leads to Another is a great song from The Fixx.🔥🎧
Wife here...The Fixx such a quentissential eighties New Wave sound!! Wore this record out!!..Love Your Insights!!
You have to remember that in this time frame, all of these songs had videos that went with them, played non-stop on MTV - and everyone watched! You heard all of these songs at the clubs, but you already knew them well from MTV that played constantly in everyone's living rooms...
New wave was an offshoot of punk. More mellow and melodic. Later went into alternative. The fixx was always interesting and cool. " One thing leads to another" is my favorite. A little less chilled.
This is from last years 1st new wave stream (Around Jan/Feb 2022) . Its Coverzero's song! lol
Don't overthink new wave songs, mostly made for dancing. No drugs needed.
I still listen to this song today. Child of the 80’s. Bought this cassette when it came out.
80's New wave embodied a lot of feelings of isolation and romantic longing. Gen X felt it had been abandoned by the "Me" generation of Boomers, and they had to find their own way. Would the computer age bring us together or isolate us? With the atomic clock at 5 min. to midnight, is there any hope or point in finding love before the clock strikes zero and we are all disintegrated? Will we be saved by zero? The music is hopeful, but the lyrics are melancholy.
Yep, you had to be there. It's hard to listen to the song in a vacuum 40 years later.
Nailed it. Especially that last sentence
"Red skies at night" and "One thing leads to another" are great as well
One reason I listen to you guys so much is that you play SO many songs that I have liked in my life! Thanks for doing your thing!
Your bringing up some old songs I grew up listening to & bring back Great Memories!!!
One of my favorite bands in the 80's. This was for me classic driving music...try some more you will be a fan.
New Wave music place heavy emphasis on synthesizers, often with all the music even drums being synthetic or electronic. Guitars were buried in the mix. The songs were short and often described as bouncy of rubbery. There was also a high emphasis on fashion and looks.
I'm an 80s Baby, and I don't mean, pop 80s, I mean, I got so lucky to hit the "NEW WAVE" movement . This is one of the greatest LP"S. I still own it on vinyl. The original version I bought back when I was 15.
“One Thing Leads To Another” should have been their first listen to the band.
Are We Ourselves is my absolute favorite Fixx song. Perfect representation of that 80s sound.
Whenever I hear this, "Real Genius" flashes through my mind.
The Fixx, was my favorite group, that came out at that time. Stand or Fall, was my favorite song by them. Some of their music, had prophetic meanings to them.
You can't beat 80's music! Class of 85. What a great time to be alive! 😎
You 2 always surprise me with stuff you listen to. This stuff from the 80's never gets old. 💞 The Brits brought so much great New Wave music back then, it forced Americans to do it too..
Oh guys you went there. Loved this band and sound.80s bring it back. Love from Canada.Keep it coming
The Fixx, was one of my favorite new groups, that come out at that time. Stand or Fall, was my favorite song by them. Some of their music, had prophetic meanings to them.
The poetry of the lead singer, Cy...very deep. Multiple levels of stuff that makes you think.
my wheel house! the fixx ruled! the 80s new wave! cy curnin has a voice for the ages!
As one who was a young adult back then, I think 'New Wave" just meant "it doesn't sound like 60s or 70s music". It didn't seem to have a specific meaning . The pot heads (as they were then called} were not into new wave. They were the ones still listening to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin years after their heyday.
Wow my 1st Fixx reaction. Great song by an underrated band
I love Stand or Fall. I remember a rainy day at a laundry mat helping a girl and hearing this song on the speakers. It was new but I had heard it before. They were one of my favorite bands. They had Red Skies, One Thing Leads to Another, Are we ourselves, Deeper & Deeper, Secret Separation, Built for the Future, Driven Out
I love the FIXX during the 80s
LOVE THIS SONG!!! 🎵 🎶
Lots of good songs by The Fixx. Try out "Deeper and Deeper" (long version). Great song!
I was a New Waver, I did chill to this on many deep trances.
This is very old! Song was about meditation. The Fixx was more chill and slower compared to most other new wave groups. Kinda like STP and Pearl Jam is chill slower band for grunge rock.
In '90s hip hop , you have chill slower rappers like Pharcyde, De La Soul compared to others.
Italians have a phrase "Start from zero." The idea is learning something new. You start from scratch. Maybe that helps.
Hypnotizing is the magic word for this composition.
New Wave music: Not stoned, but Beautiful.
The Fixx "Are We Ourselves?" & "Beautiful Friction"
Ah the 80s. Drive out to the beach firing one up along the way. Drive all the way down to the far end of the beach where nobody would be around to bother ya. Throw your beach towel, boombox and cooler on the sand. Hit the ocean and surf the waves until you're wore out. Get out of the water and crash on your beach towel. The boom box has double cassette so you can load two 120 minute cassettes. Now you have a cooler of alcohol and 4 hours of this type of music to listen to when you lay back on your beach towel and put an acid tab on your tongue.
Yeah the world was a lot simpler back then........
Thomas Dolby "She Blinded Me With Science"
Brad & Lex, this is the kind of jam you put in your cassette player to pump you up on the drive home after your girl breaks up with you. 1985 I was there.
These guys played just before The Police at Day on the Green along with Madness, Oingo Boingo and The Thompson Twins (Oakland Coliseum Stadium, 9-10-83). Only time I ever saw all of those bands.
I saw this band when they opened for The Police back in 83 would also highly recommend Red Skies and One thing leads to another by these guys
I saw that tour. Those were the days......
Great song
@@maxbrazil3712 Except for Flock of Seagulls they sucked live
They also opened for The Moody Blues in Portland, Oregon back in the 80s. They never really hit it as big as I thought they should.
AMAZING GROUP!! One of my Favorite New Wave Groups! ❤️👍😃🔥💯
It's about giving up everything, and going for it.
Great new wave band from my teen years.
When The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits and other British bands came to America in the 1960s, that was called The British Invasion. When all of these new British bands started coming to America in the 1980s, that was called New Wave, as in the new wave of a British invasion.
Definitely One Things Leads To Another. It is very different from this song, uptempo.
Can't go lower than zero, there's always hope.
Elvis Costello "Pump It Up" & "Watching The Detectives"
Oh how AWESOME... GREAT Classic Unique Song.... Great memories.... I need my Parachute Pants ......
I saw Lex perk up during the guitar solo. If you like that solo, check out their song "Outside". It's a total vibe and has amazing guitar work on it. Not one of their popular songs, but a great piece of work by them.
I saw them in 1983 with Flock of Seagulls. It was an amazing concert. During that time we had Ozzy, Iron Maiden touring almost yearly and also Loverboy, Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Motley Crue, The Scorpions, you name it, we got to see it all. Thanks for the great reaction videos 👍💯😎🔥🔥🔥🎸❤
Stand or Fall and One thing leads to another!! Also great Fixx songs as well!! It’s 80’s definitely!! Introduced to me by MTV!! Great videos to there songs!
Great underrated band. Still touring today.
Song is about how you sometimes have to bottom (have zero or nothing) before you can rise and win. You are saved by having nothing.
One other thing you may notice is that the keyboard is very prominent in new wave music.
'Til Tuesday "Voices Carry"
One of my favorite bands...they are incredible live, even today. One of my goto bands
There's an interesting interview with Cy Curnin in which he explains the true inspiration and meaning behind the song. It was a reaction to him attending a speech by the Dalai Lama. "Saved by Zero" is a reference to clearing the mind and reaching that zero point of peace and tranquility. But Cy also mentioned that lots of people can interpret it lots of ways, which is great.
I loved The Fixx. Crucified, Red Skies at Night...so many great songs.
"BOOOOAH!!! 😯, I saw that video for the (First) time in 1983 when I was (10) on (MTV) when "IT" aided...."WHAT CHU KNOW BOUT THAT!?" (LOL) 😂🤣🤣🤣
All of these years later I learn what it means - "Lyrically, "Saved by Zero" is a reference to the Buddhist mantra Śūnyatā. ... It clears your head of all fears and panics and illusions and you get back to the basics, which is a Buddhist mantra..."
If you went to a dance club, this song cranked up would fill the dance floor! Great days!
_Off their album, Reach The Beach ⛱️ Every songs worth listening to. Loved the reaction_ 🔥🔥💯💯
