For all those who were born between 65 and 72 (more or less)......these memories causes Goosebumps - do they??? It's wonderful especially when you grown up in these times
Thanks for your words. Das ist der schönste Song der Welt....
The crowd sings it beautifully in tune. He should be so proud that so many love it
If you don't get goosebumps, you are dead. Loved it in 1981 and still love it. Brings back memories of my mother, who just died a year earlier much too young.
I think it was was 1982, maybe???
@@jonathanmchugh2582 The album with this song was released in 1981. The song was a single in 1982. We are both right. Merry Christmas 🌲
I'm 43 years old now heard it way back 86 wow this song is such a masterpiece by Marc almond 'soft cell'
Yes indeed my biggest goosebumps was never walk alone at the eurovision
WOW!!!!! That was fantastic. Wish I had been there. I'm 68 now and I was 25 when this great song came out. Great music back then and I'm still listening to it.
I'm 62 and a great grandfather, I still love these guys! Thanks so much for being a part of my Life and giving me such fantastic memories. XX
God bless you sir!
I'm 66 Andrew and I'm in the same boat. I still love these guys as well.
I was at school at 9th grade when i heard this song for the 1st time and i still love it, i'm 55
I saw Soft Cell in 1982 in a nightclub in England called The Kirklevington Country club or "Kirk" where has that time gone?? Nearly 63 and want that time machine please.
Nice one love TONY SIMMONS i London north 67years old still Rocking YEAH and the moneries age is only a number
Idk why but i nearly cry everytime this song comes on
When he let's the crowd sing it makes my hairs stand up on end. I'm 26 and I LOVE soft cell!!
I'm 65 and I love Soft Cell!!
Me too 👍
It really is electric
I’m with u homie. 31 and I’m just falling in love with soft cell the last few years
Ur nuts he drinks white worms
Flawless performance! Marc’s voice still conveys the same emotion as in the original! I love that Dave didn’t try to “update” the original arrangement too! Crowd is awesome as well!
Live show is having same arrangement as the 1982 version. I also love the longer version with clarinet intro as well. It's just more tears I will cry the whole 10 minutes as well as this live show I will cry for the whole five minutes if I was at this show. They will appear at Cruel World Fest in Pasadena, CA this weekend
Mismatched young love. Almost indescribably painful. Marc Almond captured it so well with this song back in 1981. His voice flings your heart right back there...
doesnt matter where i hear this - work, home, driving..anywhere.. it floors me
It’s nice to see young people enjoying this as much as I did in the “80s”
Wonderful ❤️ Thank you very much for the Joy and Happiness you brought us. 🎼🕺💃🎵 With Love ❤
Who's is listening to this amazing song and amazing singer and musicians in 2024? ❤
Could they be any greater? I’m literally crying right now. This song is a knee-buckler for sure 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Extraordinary singing voice that has lost nothing over the decades. Thank you you for the happy memories ❤
This song never loses its emotion, since i was 10 ive loved this , my sisters had the vinyl, and we played and played it ❤❤❤xxx
From a time when artists had real character and individuality. Unlike the conveyor belt of crap we have now.
So true.
Spot on, the worst times for pop music ever - we are living in them now.
Great call bud
Snowflakes
I agree Marc is such a gentleman and appreciates the music and his fans
This song is 40 years old. I loved it from day 1.
This song is eternal never will die
Bellissima! W Gli Anni 80
Classic song
Amen Brother! 1982 in the U.S! Luved it then, still do! What memories of old!
Watching today a Netflix Serie it sound this song. It brought me such a nice memories. Laughing, crying, singing and dancing for the LOVE of music when i was 13. I came to CZcams and found this video, i felt like being part of this crowd singing just to say thanks to you. I feel so gratefull for the music i grow up with . So proud of have lived this priceless times. LOVE you guys, thanks you.
This really is a stunning performance. He recorded this in 1981 folks.
The songs a masterpiece.
That's a huge crowd, pleased people appreciate Marc
...and Dave.
What a brilliant performer Marc Almond is. Just brilliant
I love how Marc Almond can still hold that big note towards the end.
Marc is a real babe he is looking amazing and still glad he is back with his chum Dave
Benny the ball
Haha still? On the record he’s very out of tune on that one. Until the vibrato comes in at least. Love the song though, one of my all time favourites. If he’d just hit that note it would be all perfect.❤
Am not gay, but I love his voice and quality and always have,their is something about him not sure what so I just listen to his songs...
As I’m getting older this is the first song to be played at my funeral, the best song ever by anyone 🙌🏻🙌🏻
How can you be recording yourself and your friend singing while nearly everyone else is just enjoying it in the moment and watching the stage ., you know . How we used to enjoy concerts in the 80s, I can still remember them all ❤
I'm 23, and I love you. This version, this video, this song so sung after time, is something transcendental. Listen to it at full volume by watching the original official video, and then listen to it again by watching this: hold on to your handkerchiefs or any other piece of paper, you are warned. Thanks for this marvel. There are a thousand reasons to smile crying seeing all this, and anyone will find at least one very valid. Love, Goodbye, 🌹Monica.
Hello Monica..
Classy comment..
Goodbye
@@mikecarr4152 Thank you so much! Your's is a beautiful comment too .. Goodbye :)
This song means so much to me. It is very autobiographical of a time of me in 1982, living in my bedsit ... a confused and strange time of my life, when I was finding myself. Now nearing 60 I hear this and cry every time, thinking back to the me then...
I miss the 80s ☹️
I'm really really late, I'm new to this group, but I absolutely love Soft Cell. I was born in 2006, but appreciate them a lot. I love their music. I wish I had been alive in the 80s. Forever Soft Cell !
I love to see how youngs appreciate people/art/music like that. I was born in 1997 and I also love Soft Cell and other great 70- '80 artists (and the personal stories behind these artists, like Ball and Almond, in hard times to be an "outsider") . Big hug from Italy :)
I have liked marc almond since the 80s
Have to say it but better than tainted love every time for me
It was an amazing time, allways loved marc's voice.
Born 1975 and im actually still amazed im here after the 90s 😂😂
you've still got it . takes me straight back to my last years at high school . brilliant
Remember hearing Marc when I was 10 and being completely in awe of his voice, still am at 42 :)
long live the 80s and New Wave
I love LOVE singing this. This song hits a strong chord with me. Absolutely in love. Soft Cell has been my favorite artist since my early teens and still is and im going on 28!! Thanks mom lol wasn't for her i wouldn't love the 80s, but its my go to in my car lol. Forever and always!!! My 4 almost 5 year old loves the same music as me and yes she even loves this song lol i play it on repeat a lot when im in a singing mood lol. I will sing this someday somewhere lol i love this song one of my favorites!!
It gladdens my heart to see so many young people singing this song along with Marc. Marc has such a unique voice.
Finest opening lyrics ever..
Mark Almond, the sound of my best years ❤️
Marc
I was really happy that I made it to this LAST EVER "SOFT CELL" LIVE PERFORMANCE to "Say Goodbye" in style!
Yeah Marc is a lovely guy and he is very kind
The lights in the crowd really gave me chills. Love this song so much!!
Such an amazing voice still today! Marc Almond wrote beautiful lyrics and tunes. I loved his music early '80s and still love it today.
Gotta agree! first heard this in the early 80's in the States! Still luv it 40+ years later!
My life just flashed before me.
Just one more of the early 80s British wave, what a ride it was. Still have their LP launching them in storage!! Glad he's still got!!!
This is so epic I don't have words to say. Couldn't image Marc and Dave still can gather such crowds. Unbelievable.
He is such a Great Artist! Together 'THEY' created a magnificent sound of 80's pop! Love dx
This song made me a Marc Almond fan absolutely wonderful 👌🏽
Marc is such a lovely guy wish you well and long life be happy we always here for you x
Thanks ..SOFT CELL,,,FOR the MUSIC AND POETRY....GREETINGS FROM ...CHILE.... World's End!!!
How many people to watch one of best ‘80’s band.
Tell me : how many actual singers or bands will find all these fans in next 40 years ????
Feel like 18 again
Memories and a music period that was second to none
I'm so glad you sing it normally. I get it's been 40 years, and singing it like the record, must make you ache to add some ad-libs, but we are all singing it normally, and thats hard when a singer goes all jazzy.
As good now, as ever!
I’ve always loved this song.I thought I was in the minority.Clearly not.Genius lyrics.
one of the greatest pop song for me
A iconic track
Grew up loving these guys
Remember going to juicy lucys in corby northants and dancing my ickle socks off
Never give up on these guys as when gone will never re appear
Legends before their time
This is weird,I literally just watched this and my first ever girlfriend who got me into soft cell in the 80,s just appeared in the street,never seen her for 30+ years and always wondered how she was getting on,and there she was!!
She still looked absolutely stunning,I wanted to stop the car and talk but she was with her sister walking,it just would have been dead awkward,I just had an overwhelming urge to run across to her and just reminisce,to say how much she and that time with her meant to me,but she could have been married now,or whatever.This song really reminds me of her, my first love!! :-)
You should have done it. Maybe it was a sign. Things happen for a reason.
She would probably just have said hello and waved goodbye.
@@Strength-in-Union Oh,i see what you did there! I'll never have the chance to ask her now,'Where did our love go'?Or if she still held a 'Torch' for me? ;-)
@@robbocop33r12 Bummer. You'll just have to make do with some Seedy Films.
Lovely story, thanks for sharing
Hated this back in 82....now I think its a masterpiece!!
I am 67 and still love it!!!
Marc Almond n'a rien perdu de son talent. Le duo est jeune de cœur et sa musique toujours pertinente. Quel show ! Ça donne la chair de poule...
Absolutely love this song,
Marc almond is so underated,
Amazing voice live
As a LZ and PF fan, I got heavily critized when I included in CZcams Soft Cell and Marc Almond amongst the excellent artists the UK has produced. But I stuck to my guns. Wonderful voice and lovely to see the young ones knowing the lyrics.
What a night that was. So glad I was there. 👍
Marc sounds great, I'm impressed that so many people in the audience know the lyrics
Same here. Lots of them can't have been born when it was a hit.
DAMN GOOSEBUMPS, and I was there
Damn it was my 41st birthday, time flies
I was there! What a night! The finale to end all finales!
Me too ✋
Takes me back to when I was 16 I'm 58 now. It's timeless.
I love Soft cell have done since I was a child in the 80,s part of my childhood now I am 51 and still loving it.
Wow first time watching this video and I got the chills!!! 😮 this is amazing !! Mark was so excited and so proud to be infront of this large crowd singing with him after all these years and still. Love these moments ❤ this song. Love ❤Soft Cell. I Wish good health and happiness 🙏🙏
Tami from Israel 🇮🇱
What an incredible live performance of this all time classic.
Total respect to a band that have stood the test of time.
I salute you
🙏✊👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was a brilliant night, me and my Mrs traveled from Edinburgh for this and we had an absolute blast, think we must have been the youngest there but the crowd was bouncing, the way it should be ;)
Is also traveled down from Edinburgh for this. One of the greatest gigs ever been to, this ending made me very emotional.
@@spacemonkey4811 yeah cant beat say hello wave goodbye live. I was over the moon to see them both together, seen Marc almond live more times than I can remember but to see them back together for this was something I'd never see. Class night but really hope it's not the last time!!
@@the16bitprick36 Dave has C.O.P.D., so I really don't see him doing more live work. Finished his book short while back, and they are doing a new album and the previous albums are being remastered and released on heavy vinyl. I had stubbornly always had a position that I would not see Marc solo until saw Soft Cell first. Did get to point of thinking I was just permanently rilling it out and then the news of the reunion happened. Them doing Tainted Love on top of the pops when it came out was one of my earliest music memories. The whole gig was a glorious joy, though Tainted Love/Where Did Our Live Go' & Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' made me very emotional. A gig I'll never forget.
@@spacemonkey4811 aw I didn't know that about Dave. I was the same tbh, only ever seen him at 80s festivals so he only really played soft cell tunes which is a bonus. Your lucky then, I was totally born in the wrong era (1993). Id have loved to have been a teen in the 80s, live through the rave scene and be a decent age for the brit pop era. Music out now is not to my taste so that's why I love the 80s festivals. Had about 5 lined up this summer but that's all gone tits up through covid so next year will hopefully be a big one!
@@the16bitprick36 I was only born in 76, so would have been 5. I was already into Adam and the Ants by then due to the Kings album. Seeing Tainted Love on TOTP was my equivalent of seeing Bowie on same show for those a bit older than me. It was my first awareness that this was my kinda thing and I was not conventional.
I also had a whole summer of gigs scuppered, thankfully I have managed to plot a similar itinerary for next summer, so here's hoping pesky Covid is done and dusted by then.
Marc is a National treasure.
I went to the last official gig as Soft Cell at Hammersmith Odeon, back in the 80's, always loved their music ....MA and DB you are both legends
Marc Almond is the nuts. Brillant live.
I'm japanese 54years old.I love softcell I love marc almond.
I would have loved to be in this audience and singing to this amazing song! Marc seems like the most humble guy and I’ve been a fan since forever! Say hello, wave good ♥️🦩
Voice hasn’t changes with age ❤❤
This is a damn fine song
Lockdown lunacy brought me here, love this song and this version is fantastico!
11 Aug 2022….. epic tune. Drought and no proper prime minster at the moment. Times like this makes me go back in time to happier times.
So sweet! It looks to have been an emotional evening for everyone at the O2. Lovely to see Marc again. I was 25 yrs old and so innocent myself once. This was Number one for quite a while, along with Tainted Love, which I liked a little less. The other big hit of those times was Human League's Don't You Want Me.
How great must that feel when the crowd sing back your song to you.
The great Soft Cell 👏🏻
I keep coming back to watch this again every so often and I tear up a bit its such an emotional song but it makes me feel joyous and sad at the same time ❤❤❤
me too David Fossey. Always Love this, Always Tear up. Glad I'm not the only one, but U say it for us too.
Great song and a great version
still makes me recall all those years😅😅😅
I still can't believe that this song didn't do any better here in the U.S. chart wise. Like cracking them at all. Excellent song.
Brilliant Brilliant song 🎵
Totally love this! Such a great crowd and vibe this is becoming my go to cheer me up vid! Thank you for the music Marc & Soft Cell✌️🇬🇧👍
Love the vibe in the room and coming from all ages. BTW didn't know David Schwimmer had such a good voice
😂😂😂
still makes me cry...top of the pops 1982-3 was quite staggering its all i lived for as a teenager. what hapened to all the melodies, all the songs??? feel so sorry for kids today they have a soulless tehcnologocal existence where nobody creates anything except tweets, selfies & posts. the world ended with apple and facebook.
Love how Dave - as a gear nerd - actually has some old vintage gear on stage instead of just sampling everything on to dull looking midi controller keyboards
Amazing im with tears in the eyes
That was beautiful,in tears here
Fantastic, you still got it! 👍👍👍👍👍
I can safely say this was the best concert I went to
Stunning, amazing lyrics
Amazing. And Dave with his ARP Odyssey too
The last ever Soft Cell gig. Thanks for the memories!
80s forever, i love this Track, thank you Mister Almond #Epic
Amazing band and a gig I would have loved to be at. One, of if not the best song ever written.
Fantastic song.
Wow just wow!!!
I see he never found himself that nice little housewife. Awesome song, what a performance 👌
Don't suppose he would being gay. Lol
@@davidm3maniac201 Yes, he is gay. So what?
@@marcia.escritora idiot
@@humanchannel7825 Why do yo call me idiot?
@@marcia.escritora because you were aggressive towards the guy who merely pointed out Marc wouldn't find a housewife because he's gay
Marc Almond is the best singer in the whole world
