Lyrics:
We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling has gone, only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image has gone, only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

Anyone still listening in 2024?
Yes indeed too.
Yes, i do
Me too
Yep
Haha me
Im57 and it haunts me every time I hear it wish I could could go back to 80s xxxxxx
52 here and all of sudden i am transported back to high school in Scotland thanks to the magic of CZcams
One of the most atmospheric songs of its time.. .
That part where the beat picks up & the violins come in, my God, bloody magical.
I couldn't have said it any better 👏
@@teztickles6257 good, very good
This bit of the song is so technical for 1981 I don't know if there were any commercial sequencers or MIDI were available,
if they were it would have cost a fortune. I was only 10 when I heard this.... Sunday night top 20 , it was something
special right off the bat, Passing Strangers has a section like this but more of an Arpeggio effect.
Ultravox were way ahead of anyone else in the Uk for synths for 1981.
The MIDI wasn’t around so they had to rehearsal endlessly to get the timing right
Hairs !!!!!!
Named our daughter Vienna after this very song, she turned 20 yesterday. Fantastic song, still moves me…
You've both got great taste, my sister is also named Vienna, or 'Vi' for short she was 20 last month ^^
Well done!! 😊
@ClownWorldPrisoner Oopsie daisies. That's not good. Here have a free hug ☺ ^^
One of the best pop songs EVER! It's 2023 & it still sounds great.
There's a guy at my work called Harvey Henna. We call him Ultravox.
RIGHT ON - AGREE 1000 %
Totally agree. Great all round.
💯%
Nothing more to say. :) A masterpiece.
Vienna! I remember when this album came out in 1981! So brilliant & still sounds awesome after all that time. RIP Chris Cross
"A beautiful song that ends like a tragic waltz in Vienna." 😢
Very beautiful voice of Midge Ure.❤
One of my mom's favourite songs
Bloody classic who's still rocking this in 2023?

When music was made with ppl who can sing 🎤 😊…80s rule ❤️🏴
16 years old when this came out,I was just starting clubbing in Australia OMG what a time to be a young guy partying to music like this.
To Chris, always admired your tasteful bass playing. RIP. UK 🇬🇧
I so miss the 80's
I’d go to Vienna just because of this song, The Third Man, and Sachertorte.
I'm 47 this year and still love this song beautiful music
The greatest song ever
Still a fantastic song to this day! Midge Ure was a gorgeous looking man back then 😊👏
I am just about to turn 71yrs old next Saturday and Vienna still sounds fantastic musks today can learn a lot by listening to Vienna,it is absolutely brilliant song writing.

Love the 60s, 70 and 80s music.
Video made in Covent Garden as the record label were too tight to fly them out to Vienna!!!
R.I.P Chris Cross bass player and co writer of this majestic masterpiece
I am now 62 and this takes me back to being 20 in a flash. Adored it then, and adore it now. So ahead of its time. Still gives me goosebumps.
Me too. It’s our generation.
It takes me back to being 11 loved it then love it now
me 2
Me, too. I am so back in the UK listening to this over and over again.
me to
Imagine seeing this in your early teens on Top of the pops the deep bass thumping out from the wooden television cabinet
That was our life in the 80s on a Thursday night
if i could go back to them days
Piano and violin amazing through this track
Some songs are not just "songs"... they are essential part of a life and will never be forgotten. Thanks for this one!
Ultravox...Erasure...Spandau Ballet...The Human League...Duran Duran...New Order...Great Synthpop Bands 80's From UK ! Greets From Poland ;-)
And what do we have today its embarrassing.
Yes music took a bad turn years ago , we will never experience the 80s ever again those days and the music have sadly passed us by , I wish everyone from back in those days all to be well , we are no longer young anymore 😢

Agree with your words👍😉
The cost of making the video clip of this masterpiece was considered one of the most expensive ones of the world. And it was worthy. God, how i miss the 80s.
For a first single too if I remember. Mind you that whole album was bloody fabulous. Not a bad song on it.
@@tkps Right!!!
One of the most unique and brilliant pieces of the era
Many memories of great times, loving this now classic in my teens.
Farewell Chris Cross and deep gratitude for co-writing one of the best songs ever.
Great times well wow the Falklands war
Over 30 years ahead of its time. This song is pure excellence Should have been best song at the Grammys.
Midge Ure his vocal range incredible
I. Still have this album
Shocked to hear of Chris’s loss. This seems like a most appropriate place to celebrate his life and a legacy of incredible music. A fitting line in Vienna for today: “the daylight brings a cool, empty silence” 😞
40 years.....only seems like yesterday! Loved it when I was 11 years old and love it even more at 51. Midge Ure you are an absolute legend and thank you for bringing us this classic,I’m so glad I was able to fully experience the 80s music scene!
true words, Mark!!!!!!
I remember it like it was yesterday. How have so many years slipped by and I never noticed. Great song, great voice, great group.
I was 13 when it was released and my cousins played it to me, I was moved intensely and do think it's the sound of the 80's.
Amen. Makes me so glad I was a teenager in the 80's
Yep this tune is king a beast of a tune you may say oh yea my son loves it to James bye haha oh viena
Look no further you've just found THE best song that ever graced the charts.
One of the best pieces of music ever written.
Completely agree

The best of the best.
Correct. 👍
Absolutely.
What’s up Patrycia. 😘
One of those songs where I wish I had a massive sound system, a lonely house in the middle of nowhere, volume high and let that voice just poke holes in my soul.
Yep. have the sound system, but not the house in the middle of nowhere, so my neighbor gets to enjoy 80's Brit music he's never heard.
good headphones will work very well
Yeah..🙃
@@jond5842I’ve got bestest headphones on for this.
Why not go to Let's Rock Scotland or Rewind Scotland/England and hear Midge in the flesh on a massive sound system? He's still got it...
New Wave & New Romantic era ... seen Ultravox live and they are brilliant. Miss the 80s.
New Wawer& new romantic
I learnt the violin when I was a youngest, married a pianist and have always liked violins and piano together. Really outstanding for the New Wave period, incorporating a classical theme too. The Beatles and ELO did the same.
Don't know what to say, absolute legend,my childhood in a nutshell
Vienna is a great city. Greetings from Bratislava
Greetings from vienna to Bratislava
Everything is perfect in this song: instruments, synthesizers, the lyrics...this song brings to me a cold and emotional atmosphere at the same time. Fantastic! One of the best songs of all the times!
For me also the video probally the best ever- and the song not too far behind
The video is also good
R.I.P Chris 'Alan' Cross.
Scottish Legend 🏴
I'm 18 all over again..my favourite song of all time...absolute classic and that video.Midge still knocks it out superbly 42 years later .
Ich bin wiener und ultravox Vienna ist für uns Wiener eine große Liebeshymne an unsere Stadt❤️. Danke Midge, dass du uns so viel gibst. Danke auch für deine Liebe zu Wien, zu Österreich. ❤️ Wir geben es dir zurück und wenn wir alle singen:, This means nothing to me ooohh Vienna!!! Er singt nicht nur von WIEN, Midge lebt Wien, er lebt die Dekadenz, er ist ist bei uns in Wien❤️❤️❤️
❤ Mai 2024 🇩🇪
Always😊
Epic masterpiece, and that video still chills me as much as it did in 1981 . Very lucky I was a teen in the 80s and experienced that decade of wonderful music
We were the lucky ones. I was 13 and not a care in the world.
George Martin, the producer of the Beatles, worked with only one band again and that was Ultravox. Very proud that I followed this magnificent four by my 15, and that means all of my life.
Hmmm... what about America? There are others too. Read wikipedia.
Yes, but I only follow European music.
@@antonioskoutsoyiannis5319 America was an England based American band.
he also worked with UFO in 1980
Paul McCartney, Cheap Trick, UFO.
The sound on my ancient cheap earphones is still brilliant!
40 years old & this still gives me goosebumps when that that beat picks up & the violins start...
43 years almost
The classical music song of our age
Si yo digo que sigo disfrutando del vídeo y la canción en 2024, es que me estoy haciendo mayor... pero no importa viví una época irrepetible en la historia de la música 🎵.💙🖤
This song as an instrumental would have been a tour de force. Add the astonishing chorus and we have a masterwork that has stood the test of time.
Such a great album, went to bed many nights with headphones on listening to it. Roxy Music, Avalon, another one.
Isn't it amazing that this song is from the early 80's yet it's sound was so ahead of its time. It still stands up today.
Yes indeed!
It "still stands up"? Because in your mind new stuff "kicks ass" and anythng older than ten years "sucks"?
Why do I get the sense you've never read a book?
@@kentjensen4504 Uh...I haven't regularly listened to Pop Radio since the 90's dude. I grew up IN the 80's you know. I prefer 80's Pop over any of this dreck they dare call music today.
P.S. My favorite book series is The Lord of the Rings Trilogy FYI. I also love The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy. What do you think I am? A Millennial? I'm 50 years old Boo.
Almost a 70s song because it first appeared on the Vienna album, released in July 1980, so it must have been recorded early in 1980 or earlier.
@@kentjensen4504 Why would you assume he has never read a book? To say a song from 1980's still holds up given the innovations and growth in electronic music is not an insult in any way and its also true.
R.I.P Chris Allen aka Chris Cross 🖤
I’m 10 yrs old, an this is a banger!
All of a sudden - I want to visit Vienna.
During the 80's' of course.
There are excellent songs then there are classics that live the test of time like a Roman built road. Thanks all in Ultravox for what you have given us. We thank you.
It's a hauntingly beautiful song. Midge Ure' vocal range is so underrated. A true 80s classic. Oh, to relive the greatest decade in music.
Up there with Chopin and Beethoven. Loved it then and love it now, 45 years later.
Definitely one of the most epic music videos of all time.
Always great to hear im from 1977❤
Groundbreaking video clip. Better still, it has not dated.
Ultravox is up there...With the greatest musicians of their time
I saw Ultravox live at Lincoln Center (of all places) in NYC back in 1982 and they were terrific ! The only other artist I ever saw there was Prince.
RIP Chris Cross. 😪
Thank you for the wonderfull music.
Greetings from Vienna😁 This song captures my city perfectly...Vienna is a bit 'dark' and mysterious. Midge Ure's voice and the arrangement of the song is just perfect ❤️
I'm Puerto Rican and I love this song as well. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Hallo to Wienn Austria, from my country México. 👍🏼
@@hectorcardenas2171 Hello to you🤗
In What country is the vienna?
@@syafiqasyraf_yt Austria
Still gives me tingles after all these years. Will always be a number one to me
Ah, shaddap you face
Who is willing to date in Vienna and sing along some more? Dedicated those who need to become your supporters from now on, let's dream forward some more fans
Such a great song. Does anyone here remember in the early 80s those double lp's of greatest hits of the year? Most of them were a case of buy volume 1 and get volume 2 free. There was one called 'Chart Hit's 81' I bought it just to get this song, from Woolworths 😊
This song and Visions in Blue are some of their best work....but then there were so many good songs from them!
this song is a masterpiece
I'm 10 again! Brings back happy memories mostly of my first year of living in Edinburgh. Always liked Ultravox. The sad loss of Chris makes this all the more treasured. Rest easy Chris, you were a part of something magical and special, thankyou for the music. You're sorely missed.
Pure 80s class. Priceless !
It is just as magical now as it was when I first heard it. Magnificent!
i will never forget watching and listening to this song played live at Sweetwaters in NZ as a 15yr old....160k people on the side of a shaking farm hill , taking this in...
Walking around my *whole life* and randomly popping into my head comes... The feeling is gone only you and I it means nothing to me... this means nothing to me... ahhhhh Vienna!!!
Thanks Midge!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I came back this week from a road trip involving a visit to Vienna... now I'm hooked to this song remembering the beautiful memories.
Really doesn’t get much better than this!
Was 3 or 4 when this came out and heard it , still to this day it sends chills
It’s magic video... It’s magic voice... It’s excellent!No more words...

Back in the 80's the horse was very symbolic.
Now, if you run into a horse strolling free on your way home: 'Yeah whatever, not my problem.'
I absolutely love this. Gives goose bumps every time I hear this. After my divorce and dating a younger man we sat and played music. This was one, and means a lot to me Roger. If you remember me? Xx 🙏🌹
this song gave me the chills on the show 13 reasons why, you know, I was depressed at that time, furtunatelly I still love the song. I was so sad that many songs of that show I try not to listen, but this one at that time was kind of making me feel sad, but not now. I was amazed to discover that it was an 80´s song, at the time I thought it was actually new. 2018 vibe
Nothing but tears in my eyes,,,this song is so emotional..
There’s a few songs that INSTANTLY bring you back to the 80’s…HERES 1. It got a heap of airplay if I recall. Man….I LOVED LIVING in the 80’s
A haunting beautiful song
Weltklasse❤T.T.Sch
Als wäre ich noch ein Teenie
one of the best 80s song. From 3:05 to 4:35 one of the best music moments in music.
Still here in 2023…simply amazing!
seriously, what a climax this song has ( no pun intended), this song has everything that current charts songs have long since lost, heart and soul.
Absolute genius in video making
It's difficult - for me - to find a song more beautiful than this one. It's marvellous
43 years ago but still a great song.
Ultravox sparkled with new colours ✨
80s best years of my life. Born in 1973.
Still should be a number one!! So So good!!
