I lost my wife last year after 43 years together. How did these young people capture the feelings of love and loss so perfectly? They are no longer young of course. They are close in age to me than the age when they performed this. I love them for this song and many others.
@@petersydes1512 It doesn't make the pain any less and never will. It does make me continue to believe that life is worth living when even peripheral contact with people like you show that it was all worth it. I'll be gone soon but we left behind a few children and grandchildren who realise that love, life and politics are all connected.
I am sorry for your loss, Me and my wife suffered two bereavements of close relatives in the space of less than three weeks in 2020 and the shock and numbness have not faded so I know a little of what you are going through. I have always loved music through thick and thin and it has proved some consolation during the past two years though I have found it harder to listen to as a consequence of trauma. It makes no sense but I feel guilty listening to it as if I should not enjoy anything in the light of what has happened, if that makes sense.

I don't care what anyone else says but for me Deacon Blue had a completely original sound. Their songs were unique and timeless and this particular one is just stunningly beautiful. It has the power to soften my heart after a hard day.
'...completely original...' agreed apart from the 'I ain't missing you at all' John Waite melody and arrangement. hahahhahahaha. Oh hang on... which song came out first? I'm not sure now. Either way I LOVE Deacon Blue. A GREAT Band.
They would have 'broken the Internet' without a doubt. They've sold millions of albums and still sell out concerts, so CZcams would have made them even more popular.
Cold coffee won't see you through- did it ever? Probably not. Great lyrics as usual from Ricky, a true wordsmith and great presence on stage. You can see how he would have been a great teacher before Deacon Blue.
This was one of the best slower tracks that the band released. Love the lyrics to this. It gets better with age. Can't appreciate this when you're younger I don't think...it's a song about experiences.
I remember this great song when I was in hospital when I was getting my ear operation when I was only 13,im 43 now this song just sticks in my mind I love it so much.
Ricky Ross, one of Scotland's best songwriters. I've briefly met Dougie Vipond, yes the same BBC Scotland sports presenter who plays the drums with Deacon Blue, he's a good guy! This is a beautiful song.
There's a sadness and melancholy to this that makes it one of their best songs. The video perfectly complements the song. The way the song builds and builds all the way through reinforces the wistful sentiment of the lyrics and music- testament to the clever songwriting of DB. As usual, great vocals from Ricky Ross and Lorraine Mcintosh.
I was in my teens when they were at their height, Ross and Lorraine, amazing singers, beautiful voices. When I hear their songs, I just have to stop and listen. Great band. This was one of personal favourite songs of all time.
My favourite, didnt hear it last night at Edinburgh Castle 9~07~22 yet maybe another time! Phenominal this night was epic...in my memories forever xxx Dignity xxxx
Cold dawn won't comfort you Cold coffee Won't see you through Cold sheets Won't heal your heart Your frozen fingers of your Name so tarred I know so rarely That things come your way Your ways are tender And your paths are straight Your minds not lived in The way ours are set Your heart is open To love and regret Rings and letters they pass you by You wish them well And seldom cry For stones and promises and wedding sighs You've known the times that you've Lived and died These sailors come by And spend time ashore Their thoughts are hoarded As yours have been stored Your minds not lived in The way ours are set Your heart is open To love and regret Outside in the morning air I hear the soundtrack of the Blues harp player It touches feelings that you Don't arouse Knicks me back to that Shuttered house Take me back When they're all out Take me back to that Shuttered house I know so rarely That things come your way Your ways are tender And your paths are straight Your minds not lived in The way ours are set Your heart is open To love and regret Love and regret Love and regret
Takes me back to 1993, an expat with a tape player in Paris , **** makes me feel old ( but well, to have lived in that fabulous "era" ) great great band ! (not that being Scottish means I am biased ! )
A mi esta canción siempre me sonó como un himno. Quizá un himno de la adolescencencia. Es uno de esos grupos musicales que se quedan con el paso del tiempo. Buenos recuerdos.
brilliant song. I also think it's strange that DB vids don't get more views on CZcams. This song is amazing and only a handful of people are watching it compared to other stuff on here. Ah well I still love them. Thanks for the fab music DB
This song means a lot to me, that year 1989 we finished the high school and I will never forget the last moment I've spend with carmen, the most beautiful girl I´ve ever seen. Sometimes the best part of our lives doesn't come on time... I will be forever listening to your best song supporting you with my love... Love you guys. 👏👏👏👏
@@arsenalvibes Thanks for your reply. I was very sad at his passing when he died and was going to donate to a charity for pancreatic cancer. I didn't at the time ( no excuse) but I will make sure I do before 2020 is out to make amends in a small way.
There are other DB songs that I would rate more than this as personal favourites but this is special as it has a rare solo from Graeme who was such a tasteful guitarist; a six string chameleon playing different colours to blend in. Wonderful band.

Great band and great era, when you bought the vinyl or cassette and listened to every song and every lyric, a bygone era!
rastarobbo although, not quite, some of us young ‘uns still listen to them all (courtesy of dad). 🏴
This was such an underrated album. Got the vinyl, no I never stopped playing it
Absolutely ! I LOVED Deacon Blue !
Proper musicians 🤟🙌🤟🙌 unlike the shit these day's 👍👍
I don't care what anyone else says but for me Deacon Blue had a completely original sound. Their songs were unique and timeless and this particular one is just stunningly beautiful. It has the power to soften my heart after a hard day.

if only youtube was out 27 years ago, deacon blue would have billions of views.
IF ONLY CZcams WASNT A LIAR....
They would have 'broken the Internet' without a doubt. They've sold millions of albums and still sell out concerts, so CZcams would have made them even more popular.
Ahh, white socks and great hair cuts.. Oh bring back the eighties!
Deacon Blue..simply a awesome band and always will be!!💯
3:15 Went to see these in Dublin in 1989 when I was 15, can't wait to see them again in Dublin in August
Just a fantastic tune, from one of the most under rated bands of the 80's.
You bet Jeanette, they were a fantastic group, I saw them twice in the 80's and 90's.
Who underrated them?
So true Mike there one of my favourite bands 😊😘😍
Underrated is a much misused and overused word here on youtube but, you my friend are 100% correct!
They wrote some very good stuff
Need a healing potion? Listen to 80s music! Never fogotten, never surpassed. 80s forever!
Cannot agree more.❤
One of the best songs Paddy McAloon never wrote. Breaks my heart every time.
¿El cantante-compositor de Prefab Sprout la escribió? No lo sabía
En su CD Our Town The Greatest Hits pone letra y música Ricky Ross
80s decade was the ultimate! never forget....
This might be the perfect pop song.
Great song...best lyrics.
Best band to come out of Scotland..period..Lorraines vocals are so adorable
The proclaimers though 🤣✌🏼
This song reminds me of a very happy period in the UK....❤
Cold coffee won't see you through- did it ever? Probably not. Great lyrics as usual from Ricky, a true wordsmith and great presence on stage. You can see how he would have been a great teacher before Deacon Blue.
I'd forgotten just how good Deacon Blue were!
Some of their new songs ( not all)are very good-worth checking out.
An absoulute gem.. Listeing to it for 35 years now and its still as fresh as first time
Takes me back to a happy time. Brilliant band. Got to see them live a few months back. Stunning live too.
Song writing doesn't get much better. Great band, great song.
Fukn brilliant group c them Wembley arena 1987 xxx
Takes me back to the time when you played a record on repeat untill you memorized it by heart and down the road your still remember it.
Love this song.................Yet another fantastic Deacon Blue classic! Happy memories.
This was one of the best slower tracks that the band released. Love the lyrics to this. It gets better with age. Can't appreciate this when you're younger I don't think...it's a song about experiences.
I remember this great song when I was in hospital when I was getting my ear operation when I was only 13,im 43 now this song just sticks in my mind I love it so much.
Just a glorious piece of music. They say music lifts the soul and this does foe me.
Ricky Ross, one of Scotland's best songwriters.
I've briefly met Dougie Vipond, yes the same BBC Scotland sports presenter who plays the drums with Deacon Blue, he's a good guy!
This is a beautiful song.
One of the best songs ever written.
sorry for your loss.my partner went in a nursing home last year with dementia vascular.music is a great escape.especilywhen you listen to decon blue 😊
There's a sadness and melancholy to this that makes it one of their best songs. The video perfectly complements the song.

Oh absolutely ! Yes, great voices from Ricky and Lorraine
@@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826Indeed.
It *is* their greatest song.
Digging this gem many-many-many decades later down in South Africa. Evergreen pop resonant across time, circumstances & geographies 👌🏾👊🏿💯
Am a soul man but deacon blue best band ever ps this is me favourite tune 💯 percent pure brilliance
Went down the line liked every comment👍happy lives all!
Cold dawn wont comfort you ,cold coffee wont see you thru love this xx
Great band live 💙..was a member of there fan club in the 80s 😁
I was in my teens when they were at their height, Ross and Lorraine, amazing singers, beautiful voices. When I hear their songs, I just have to stop and listen. Great band. This was one of personal favourite songs of all time.
one of their most underrated songs, but definitely one of their best
When the world knows you name album. It's a gentle masterpiece of the 80s, vastly underrated album in my view and this is one of the best
It replaced Madonna at number 1 in the UK album chart in May 1989.
Have seen them live a few times recently-superb.
Timeless band!
A great time was had by all,, Stay safe and be good and Thanks for the 1980s
Oh how I still love Deacon Blue.I loved them in my teens and always will.
Such a great band they were in my opinion.
Back in the day brilliant band loved them so much ❤
My fave Deacon Blue tune.

unforgetable song!
My favourite, didnt hear it last night at Edinburgh Castle 9~07~22 yet maybe another time! Phenominal this night was epic...in my memories forever xxx Dignity xxxx
Cold dawn won't comfort you
Cold coffee
Won't see you through
Cold sheets
Won't heal your heart
Your frozen fingers of your
Name so tarred
I know so rarely
That things come your way
Your ways are tender
And your paths are straight
Your minds not lived in
The way ours are set
Your heart is open
To love and regret
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well
And seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You've known the times that you've
Lived and died
These sailors come by
And spend time ashore
Their thoughts are hoarded
As yours have been stored
Your minds not lived in
The way ours are set
Your heart is open
To love and regret
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the
Blues harp player
It touches feelings that you
Don't arouse
Knicks me back to that
Shuttered house
Take me back
When they're all out
Take me back to that
Shuttered house
I know so rarely
That things come your way
Your ways are tender
And your paths are straight
Your minds not lived in
The way ours are set
Your heart is open
To love and regret
Love and regret
Love and regret
Thanks for the lyrics..Patrick
So sad this great song has only 75000 views when there is complete rubbish getting 100's of millions of views.
You are so right Gary
My thoughts exactly nice post dude
Cheers, great band
Gary price.. Too right mate. I remember buying the 45 of this in 1989, Lorraine was in her prime and I was a young adolescent 😂😂😂
@@craigcullen28 from Our Price? Remember going up to Woolworths to look for a 45. Records were normally next to the sweets....!
When i listen to this it makes me remember someone close to me
truly awesome song
Takes me back to 1993, an expat with a tape player in Paris , **** makes me feel old ( but well, to have lived in that fabulous "era" ) great great band ! (not that being Scottish means I am biased ! )
Still love Ricky Ross's voice!
What a band..luv them
One of my favorite bands from my teens for sure.
Great band from Scotland.
Love it
A mi esta canción siempre me sonó como un himno. Quizá un himno de la adolescencencia.

Such a beautiful song ❤❤❤❤ Alan wills xxx
What a perfect song ❤️
such a tremendous song
I remember shooting this video down Highway 1 south of San Francisco. before the band embarked on their US tour in 1990. Happy Times
What were they like to work with? I assume very good as they all seem like good people. Graeme Kelling now sadly deceased, RIP.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Graeme was a lovely kind, gentle giant of a man with a very wicked, dry sense of humour. I miss him to this day ❤️
@@arsenalvibes Thanks for your reply. I was very sad at his passing when he died and was going to donate to a charity for pancreatic cancer. I didn't at the time ( no excuse) but I will make sure I do before 2020 is out to make amends in a small way.
Oh,and Lorraine McIntosh's voice too I also still love!
So so beautiful ❤Alan wills xxx
