Beautiful Tune!!! I was 17yo in 1985 and listening to this song had me blubbering in nostalgic tears thinking of the wonderful times and friends I had during this wonderful year. Is it me or do others around my age think 1985 had a certain subtle incredible magical vibrancy to it? No matter what your taste in music was.
That might be the best sounding piano in the history of recorded music. I don't even know if it's a real piano or a synthesizer. Sounds amazing either way.
🎶The message is perfectly simple The meaning is clear Don't ever stray too far And don't disappear No, don't disappear Ever had that feeling Almost broke in two Said that you were leaving Like you do, you do All my dreams came true last night All my hopes and fears All my dreams came true once more In tears, in tears Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Be near Never had that feeling Until I first met you Never felt like kneeling Now I do, yes I do Yes, I do, ooh All my dreams came true last night All my hopes and fears All my dreams came true once more In tears, in tears Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Oh, be near me, be near Be near, be near The message is perfectly simple The meaning is clear Don't ever stray too far And don't disappear No, don't disappear Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Be near me, be near What's your reputation?

High fashion, class and great voices. The 80's !!! I am so happy to have been there and experienced what only could described as the decade of total AWESOMENESS.
Right there with u both! 15 years old in 1985 as well. Highly disappointed that the time machine has not been invented by 2021.im so ready to back to those 80's days and never leave! ✌
I was born in '74, so the numbers lined up: 1984 = 4th grade; 1989 = 9th grade; 1992 grad. "80s music defined my school years." Yeah, my early memories revolve around '80s music. Saturday Night Fever & Urban Cowboy were probably my earliest connections.
This was, and still is, such a great song from the 80's era. This was my college and dance club music on the weekends. Huge and fantastic memories here just listening to it!
Love this type of New Wave Music when I was in my teenage years I always used to go to my friend's house to watch MTV on my friends cable because we didn't have cable but I love this kind of music so innocent sounding.
Man i kind of feel like i missed out i was born in 91 so the 80s were just a whisper away from the year i was born now they are just a silent remnants of an real incredible human time in both in music and technological progression
This song eluded me for so many years, i would hear it in grocery stores everywhere but never got the name until today. Very underrated track from the 80s!
Imagine being in another city a great big city forgetting who you are leaving your normal routine forgetting all your stresses and fears without a worry of anything negative. This was my song in 1986 when I was only 12. A mind reset.
Yes they were!!! Still a Dope British band light years ahead of their contemporaries,of the time! There was no one like ABC, back in 1985!! "De-light" reminds of a 1990's version of them!
Awesome song! Reminds me of my 80s childhood so much! Everything was better back then! You could tell musicians poured the essence of their being into their music and it showed! Now we have corporate-made nonsense! Best Decade ever!!
I cant believe it's been 26 years since this great song was played on the radio regularly. The '80s were a great decade to have been a part of & to have lived through! I miss this decade terribly! Oh well, at least I have the memories. Bravo, ABC!
@@broccolihart1 More like "Add another 11 YEARS on top now (as of 2022)". Come next month, this great song will be 37 years old (as to its appearance on the U.S. singles chart). Man, I STILL miss the 1980s!!! Bravo, Martin Fry & Co.!!! :-)
@@davidhugaert8006 I miss them also, not necessarily because I was a teenager but , there weren't any weirdo globalists trying to trans kids or Tesla's taking up space on the streets.
Why can't music be as good now as it was in the 1980s? Man, I miss those days! 1985 was a fantastic year! Ronald Reagan & M.Thatcher dominated the political headlines that year, & Mikhail Gorbachev was elected Secretary General of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union, signaling the beginning of the end of the Cold War! Also, "Back To The Future" & "The Breakfast Club" were among the highest grossing movies @ the box office that year. The Chicago Bears were Super Bowl Champions in '85, too!
I just remember I was in special Ed... So I had to ride this smaller short bus home everyday and the bus ride was always longer than most again because I had to go to a special school but I didn't mind it at all because the bus driver was cool AF and she always had the radio really loud and this song was constantly playing
Back in the 80s I grew up listening to hard rock a lot. But I this song used to make me tear up, and I couldn't understand why. Such a simple and beautiful song.
So glad I got the privilage of living through the Dream Decade! My memories from that time are truly sacred! NOTHING since has felt like it! THe music, pop culture, and movies are like gateways back to me! WONDERFUL, magical time to be alive!!!
I'd rather dance a 1958 Impala Lowrider to this dope beat OVER ALL the garbage of today including all the rap!!! The 80's was the Real Deal!!! Great Times!!!
Thank you so much for this. Thank you. Every time I searched for this it wouldn't even look for this song. It gave me their other songs. While I like alot of ABC'S songs, this is my favorite. Now all I need is Level 42 to play....
13 yo me dancing alone in my room in front of a mirror practicing my moves, fantasizing about singing this song to the girl I had my first puppy love crush on

I was 17 in 1985.....I feel you.
yes, it did; I was 14 .... and this song encapsulates the sound which dominated that (my freshman) year ....
Absolutely best!!!
I was 16 in 1985
I was 15 years old in '85 and I feel the same way.. it brings tears to my eyes thinking about the fun times I had. I wish I could go back
I'm so glad i've found this absolute gem of a song!
beautiful song. 1985 was a great year for music.
Wait!!! Are you saying that we are not in 1985? When did this happen??
This is one of the rarest gems of the 1980s. Such a beautiful song. 2:06 - 2:20 almost makes me cry
ABC hit #9 in Billboard, 11-9-85. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great weekend!
That might be the best sounding piano in the history of recorded music. I don't even know if it's a real piano or a synthesizer. Sounds amazing either way.
Fairlight synth
I love this song it will always be one of my favorite ABC songs
Why is it your fav song
Mine also along with Smokey Sings
Me too:))very catchy
How to be a zillionaireeeeee
A great song by ABC! Their best! From November 1985!
Music like this helped me get through what was a pretty rough time in my life.
🎶The message is perfectly simple
The meaning is clear
Don't ever stray too far
And don't disappear
No, don't disappear
Ever had that feeling
Almost broke in two
Said that you were leaving
Like you do, you do
All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears, in tears
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near
Never had that feeling
Until I first met you
Never felt like kneeling
Now I do, yes I do
Yes, I do, ooh
All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears, in tears
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Oh, be near me, be near
Be near, be near
The message is perfectly simple
The meaning is clear
Don't ever stray too far
And don't disappear
No, don't disappear
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
What's your reputation?
Ecstasy
What's your inclination?

La música de los ochenta hasta la fecha se sigue escuchando y usando en películas y videojuegos... Fue una época gloriosa para la música pop.
Having a bad day? Listen to this - problem solved
Dang I was 13 years old when this was out? Still a good song
YESSSSS!
80'S always and forever in our minds of fun.
This song will forever be in my favorite 80's songs list.
Songs like this one remind me just how great the 80's decade was for music!! A thumbs up!! Peace2U, Alex
Freshman year of high school! One of my favorites. I miss the 80's!
"Be near me". "Be Near". I really love the rhythm of this song. Ah for the good old days when I was youngx
The 80's rule, it's that simple. Thanks for the post.
High fashion, class and great voices. The 80's !!! I am so happy to have been there and experienced what only could described as the decade of total AWESOMENESS.
1985 great year and Time for music and movies. My high school graduation year.
This is my childhood right here
+Angel Dominguez i was 15 in 1985
Angel Dominguez ; me too homegirl... I was 14 and I’ll never forget this song
Right there with u both! 15 years old in 1985 as well. Highly disappointed that the time machine has not been invented by 2021.im so ready to back to those 80's days and never leave! ✌
@@charlenejordan9585 I was 14 too .... the songs from A-Ha's 'Hunting High And Low' LP also instantly take me back to my freshman year ...
I was born in '74, so the numbers lined up: 1984 = 4th grade; 1989 = 9th grade; 1992 grad.
"80s music defined my school years."
Yeah, my early memories revolve around '80s music. Saturday Night Fever & Urban Cowboy were probably my earliest connections.
This song brought me to tears in 2021. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲. Life was great when I was younger.
This was, and still is, such a great song from the 80's era. This was my college and dance club music on the weekends. Huge and fantastic memories here just listening to it!
Such great memories, I was truly blessed to grow up with this music, simply the best!!!!
Always loving this beautiful song from here to eternity
oh this takes me back to my 8th grade yr in 1985! some of my fondest memories!
I was going on 7 years old, i remember this song from my childhood
Love this type of New Wave Music when I was in my teenage years I always used to go to my friend's house to watch MTV on my friends cable because we didn't have cable but I love this kind of music so innocent sounding.
I used to do the same exact thing.. funny!! I loved this album and MTV back then.
Today I woke up wanting to listen to this song, without any apparent reason. This is how 80's my mind is.
Damn....if that didn't take me back to when I started high school 38 years ago. 😢
Man i kind of feel like i missed out i was born in 91 so the 80s were just a whisper away from the year i was born now they are just a silent remnants of an real incredible human time in both in music and technological progression

ABC was awesome back in the day.

I LOVED THIS TIMES THE BEST MUSIC FROM 80 THANKS
One of the alltime great 80's tracks!
Autumn 1985...Nineteen years old, & feeling carefree! My, where did all the time go?
Was it really just over a quarter-century ago?
I cant believe it's been 26 years since this great song was played on the radio regularly. The '80s were a great decade to have been a part of & to have lived through! I miss this decade terribly! Oh well, at least I have the memories.
Bravo, ABC!
Add another 20 YEARS on top now

Came here to feel the 80s one more time. So lucky I was there to tell about it.
I was born in the mid-90s, but I love 80s music and this song by ABC
Oh yeah,I always loved this song and video with it ever since I saw it on MTV back in the mid-80s. CLASSIC MTV+80's HITS=GREATNESS!
Me encanta ésta Canción ... ABC
One of my FAVORITE songs! The song makes me feel really happy. It's a unique tune. I love the 80's music 🎶🎵🎶
Listening to this makes me want to like go to NYC and look at the buildings!!

I Love This ABC 1985 Hit, "Be Near Me," Which Became The #1 Dance Hit In America, And A Top 15 Adult Contemporary Hit In America.
Una canción que gustó en La Paz, Bolivia en el primer semestre de 1986, llegó al top 30 semanal. Saludos desde las alturas.
the 80's fashion & music will return
I just remember I was in special Ed... So I had to ride this smaller short bus home everyday and the bus ride was always longer than most again because I had to go to a special school but I didn't mind it at all because the bus driver was cool AF and she always had the radio really loud and this song was constantly playing
Even though I was born in 1991, I still love the 1980s.
Born in 78 and like the 50s - 70s as well as 80s.
I agree the 80's was the best . I wish I could go back in time to the 80's and stay there .
@ChihuahuaboyDH Bring back the 80s...Miss those days terribly!
grandissimi ...un saluto dall'italia
I was only 16 years old and got this cassette for my birthday. This song is probably my favorite all time - beautiful!!!!!
Back in the 80s I grew up listening to hard rock a lot. But I this song used to make me tear up, and I couldn't understand why. Such a simple and beautiful song.
