Going to see them this afternoon in Dublin! Can't wait. Playing them now for my 12 year old daughter and she's looking at me and her dad dancing shaking her head 😅
@@Lols1973likewise in London this Friday! 😅
Pure class who is still listing to this classic from the band
I m italian, but I love this band.

Maravillosa
I am and loving them all the way from Australia
moi 🙋🏽♀️🇨🇵
If this is not played at my funeral I’m not going.
Paul James Brady that was funnyb😂
THECHRISTIANSTV It’s true mate ✌🏼
I hope you have a few years left in yah mate 😂
Stan laurel, quote 👍
😂
His Voice. He should have been a superstar.
I used to cry listening to this song...
Now Im much older...and wiser...and my country has gone through many changes.
And I still cry 😔
"Fools never change"
It's A Great Song That Goes With Emotions...
Fools run our countries...
But you still have hope, and we believe in you, you deserve better times.💪🤞
Wow wow wow 👌 loved this song in 1987 as a 14 year old boy, now in 2024 im 51 and this song is just unbelievably good, the lyrics are amazing 👏 I remember my dad who hated pop music in the 80s singing along to the chorus when the video was on tv 📺 such a great band and superb vocals, class song ❤
So proud of The Christians...amazing Liverpool lads ♥️ Their words are as true today as way back then. Enough
2023 I'm back again and now another horrendous war is killing thousands in Palestine 😢😢
Totally agree
They sent out a social message and we're real...also...they were a class band😁
Cool, just playing happy in hell, Gary, an angel amongst men.
Every day I listed and they bring hope to my non life, by the way I steal my neighbor s Broadband
@@diamond21450 is right Mate, me too 😂
Probably the coolest band I’ve ever seen.
This group inspired me to write poetry when I was in vary very dark place,I literally owe them my life
The classiest band of the 80's. The Christians gave us the coolest, most intelligent and listenable pop music of the day. This kind of protest music could have won them a lot of fans internationally and induced a lot of people to question the system, so it's no wonder they never cracked a major record deal. Too damn good.
I totally agree 100%, way better than most music of their time, and still better than most music today.
Tare talent. 👍😎
Brilliant point
@@BruceLee-zd9bw most music. I’d say all the music. Where is the good music of 2020. Good music has been on the decline for the last 20:years 😳
They were signed to Island Records, it's the reissue that is on Cherry Red
Like that...
was at Belinda Carlisle Concert on Monday in Portsmouth and had the privilege to see The Christians. Always loved this song.
A song for the generations and a song that rings true today. Garry had one of those voices that made your hair on your arms stand up. Amazing voice. Keep doin Liverpool proud!
PURE PLATINUM SONG!! Still feeling it in 2021 in this far from ideal world!
I never heard this before it sounds ok but I have to go do a sloppy poo and am playing it on my computer so I cant keep listening to it I suppose I could turn up the volume and still here it while I am on the toilet but I don't want to disturb anyone.
Would love to see this re-released now. A song for today's age. It hasnt aged and still sounds great with a strong appropriate message.
I just love it in its originality. Very powerful
I wont get released gangster music media moguls wont allow it
Had this at my lovely sisters funeral, 5 years ago today, I love and miss you so much
❤️💖
My dad loved the Christians in the 80's and I love them now. When my kids grow up I am sure they will love them as well, Timeless songs and great band..
THE most beautiful song ever written
I have hummed this song, wrongly sung it for over 30 years, not knowing who sang it, I heard a snippet of the chorus in 1993. To finally find the complete song and know who the artist is, so emotionally overwhelming
These words are still so relevant today Brilliant ❤
The Christians, Ideal World is a masterpiece. Still refreshing as l heard it several years ago. This music is evergreen. It simply can't fade out now. At least not for now.
Such an underrated band, one that should have been right up there with the greatest.
Not in this world but in the eternal life to come,God willingly.
Magnificent . . if only everyone would listen and enact the sentiment . . love The Christians, saw them live in the Isle of Man . . just amazing . .
The singer has had a lot of heartache he's lost family members like I have I love them x
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard ...
The message this song sends is so “now” amidst the lockdown days of convid 19. This could be today’s anthem
I thought the exact same thing, the last time I heard this was in the 1990s. What you said is so true
Yes exactly and two year's on it's still so true. Our ideal world has always been stolen from us by 'them'.
His Voice goes right into my being. I bought the 12" when it first came out. 49 now and it is still a classic.
What a band what a tune 👏
June 2019, a songs that talks to me as it did, way back when i was a clueless 20yr old
Aint that the truth
I watched a beautiful clip today where a teacher helped the kids to realize that if we are not judged by the color of our eyes, why should we be judged by the color of our skin. Only in an ideal world could that really come about. Thank you, Garry, and The Christians for your music and lyrics that ring so true.
Almost the perfect song. Brilliant lyrics..velvet voice...amazing message,,,excellent production. You won't hear better.
Great song , takes me back to the 80’s . Great times !!!
I used to live in their street in Liverpool back in the day. Different times.
"But fools never change". Says it all. Brilliant track. We're all the same.
Still sounds great in 2020. Timeless brilliance
Also in 2022 brilliant
Used to listen to this in the car on the way to France 30 years ago now moved there and still listening on my I pad instead of a cassette 😁
Love this song. Great voice Garry Christian!
they were one of the best groups to come out of 80s, their songs had a message that endures!
What a tune. Remembering this stuff on 54 th birthday. Magic
The best band from Liverpool whose achievements seem to have been forgotten about. Recently saw them at Square Chapel in Halifax before the quarantine. The harmonies were outstanding, the background visuals of when they were younger was a really clever concept & the a capella was spin tingling. Go see them if you can when it all blows over. Their music & lyrics have informed my politics since 1987 - and Garry is a legend - so funny when he monologues & he signed my original cassette of their debut album. Yay!
Labradora they went bust the day after and didn’t pay us
@@THECHRISTIANSTV That absolutely sucks - I'm so sorry to hear it. It was a shock when they did go bust as there'd been no warning at all. They then "shut for quarantine"; the week after - administration. Such a shame - it's a wonderful venue. My commiserations. I hope you have recourse to some legal redress in time. Hugs x
I put this on Facebook and had 55 shares.cracking song by a great band
Saw them following billy ocean......never qui
Bugger! Didn’t know they played the square chapel!! I’m from Halifax and would’ve loved to have been there. It’s a great venue too. Saw them at Carfest a few years ago and they were brilliant then. Great great musicians.
The most beautiful song I've ever heard and perfectly true
Arguably one of the finest songs ever written and performed. Pure class! If only they would listen!
Yes it is ❤
Seen them on Saturday absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍 totally underrated band
Makes you wonder why?
Trashy, sleazy, half naked no talent, singers are the toast of today's entertainment world.
The Christians. The “ Ideal World “ , what a great song !!
peter Glynn 👌
@@siliconesal were they scoucers
one of the unrecognised tunes of the Eighties. Still sounds hopeful, meloncholy yet uplifting.
Come back and help us
Too late for that unfortunately.
I do...love them... memories from a better time...❤️❤️
saw the Christians last weekend on iow, met Garry twice when he signed a cd and a poster for me..... what a friendly and funny guy, great performer, feel privileged to have shook his hand... legends.
Another great group two com out of Liverpool .
A classy great Liverpool group. Should have been massive
god yes last time i listen to this I was a child.... had a flash back to my childhood the other day and for some strange reason this song made it into my consciousness... thank f for youtube and the fact I could simply type in the lead lyrics and find it... blessed, cracking track, cracking band..... great vibes! best from Liverpool all
Excellent band better than all the mainstream shite these days !!!!
Agree
100% agree
In an ideal world we'd get rid of today mainstream shit!! Lol
I do love coldplay
Better than harvest for world. This means more
I'd forgotten about the Christians and how I loved this song as a child. Heard it on the radio this evening. Praying for this world so much right now.
❤
Who is still listening in 2021 to the absolute belter that I have missed hearing for a lot of years and today it has been on play none stop ✋
J'adore la voix de Gary Christian et il a beaucoup de charme!
One of the most underrated bands. Great songs, great music, great vocal harmonies.
Underrated? I had to live opposite those savages back in the early 1970s. Only stood them for a year and sold my house to escape them. It's 2024 and still traumatized by them with their abuse and vandalism to my house while I was out at work. They were all layabouts.
Wen this song came out it was definitely an ideal world.im actually proud to have grown up in the 80s as a teenager.kids,& even some adults today have no idea how brilliant dayz were bak then.
Brilliant song by the Christians and still listening in July 2023
Oh man, loved this album back then, and it must be 30 years since the last time I heard it. Timeless lyrics and a great sound track to any middle aged man trying to recapture some of his long lost youth. love it....
these guys stayed at my hotel this weekend in basingstoke....top top guys...
Did they sing Forgotten town there! joking!
ha ha...
The truth behind this song is so real and so moving the christians are truly timeless this is my childhood in the 80s takes me back there i still know every word EXCELLENT
Ditto
I love this band I have seen them twice classic song love and peace and blessings ❤️❤️💓
2022 still brilliant song timeless classic loved it back then still love it today and forever 👌❤️👍🤟
I had to look it up on CZcams after not hearing it for over 10 years and still brilliant and I'm a old man of 66 just brought back memories......
All these years later still amazing. What a voice
Phenomenal, gorgeous, brilliant, sublime, an absolute record for the ages.
this song should be the anthem for the world! brilliant
Fuck your god
Asif khan ‘as if’ you know what your talking about. Don’t tell me...Allah is the real god.
What a rune and always will be my most favourite song. Outstanding🎶🎵🎼🥰👌
I was "rooming-in" with my third son to this. I was in love as only a mum would know ...
Bought this as a 45 when it was released. I was 10 at the time. Such a great song and powerful lyrics. I'd love it to be re-released.
Yes I do. Went to see them, at the King's Theatre Pompey. Absolutely brilliant band, and better now than they ever were respect boys
Met Gary today! super cool, down to earth, great artist great band.
What can I say , what an ABSOLUTE BRIILLIANT SONG
A Song for the times even more now - remember buying this album on CD they are one of the greatest bands still around
god i used 2 luv this group in the 80s and they still sound great ,quality music always reminds u of the good old days
1989 music videos hold a very special place for me since they were the first taste of an uninterrupted stream of current music videos we got after the fall of communism here in Romania. So everything we saw seemed a huge hit. I didn't search how big this actually was in the UK, but for me it's one of the first great ones.
Yes, a rare quality 80s track. Timeless relevance.
Echoes my life....right now.
Only recently discovered this beautiful song. Lyrics are so profound and powerful. Wonderful. If only.
I remember when I was a child and my mum said she'd help me with my maths homework. She walked away to get some stuff and this song was in my head and I just started crying. I started crying because I realized that even though my dad made her suffer so much she still took the time and put me first over her suffering.
Women are strong Captain - and the love between a mother and son is indeed one of the strongest loves there is ! I know, I have a son .............. :)
Jan Bremner Nicely worded comment. Forgot how good this song was, long time since I played it.
Beautiful comment
JESUS LOVES YOU!

A spectacularly good song. Its message is even more relevant today than ever...
I have so many memories from this song and that time...oh if I could but turn back the clock .
Great lyrics. I was a wild teenager back then. I used sing the opening when I was in shit to try & charm my way out. It didn't work 🤣🤣
