Lyrics:
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 - Hudba

I'm still in shock on hearing the sad news. I can't believe it.
As put this track on I wasa scrolling througn the news and read Chris had dies. R.I.P. Chris now we dance with tears in our eyes.
Sad news
@@mrsgenehunt48 Lament
He was a real driving force , if not the primary In those early John foxx days , I remember buying the assembled album Ha Ha Ha , it still today packs a punch , I'm sure you get where I'm at, but anyone not hear early Uvx material put your headphones on and listen to the pre Midge era , John Foxx really good,bit of Iggy pop meets Bill Nelson and Chris Cross sound was mad , 79 I think foxx made the worst mistake on what I remember only one track worth at that transitional year from Punk,new wave , foxx dropped *Underpass* , totally not UvX , Synths, Drum emulators etc , he seemed to vanish , the rest, Midge and Chris , Warren C, Billie C they were , are in my top 10 bands that were banging live ...RIP CC
Its Christmas Day and I’m playing this in memory of my father who passed away when he was 54, this was one of his favourite songs, I remember as a child hearing the distinctive sound of this song being played on the record player. Years gone by I often think that my love for music was inspired by the person I miss so much. Love you dad, I know you don’t know what CZcams is and if you did, I know you would be able to read this message from your son. ❤️
I lost my dad when I was 9.. I'm 55 now.. Trust me you will never forget him. I wish you and your family many happy years ahead
music is the gateway to the soul. your father is still with you.
You're thoughts are in my heart, all the best to you and you're family.👍
oh bless you and your late father sorry to hear you lost him and songs bring us closer to familyw with love xxx
Oh Damian sorry for your loss of your precious father. Its pure heartache losing a parent. Their memory lives in many forms. Music is the best way to remember. He obviously had amazing taste loving this song. Take Care Damian ❤
Still listening in 2024. 80’s music is still the best era hands down. Rest in peace Terry lad 🙏
Still iconically awesome, but the 90's was best. Just saying ;)
@@HSPGelton2 80's trust me
70's 🙆♀️
I’m 65, the 80’s was a big movement full of rewarding experiences. Enjoying all these bands I’ll treasure!
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!
ya the 80s looked like a fun time...good music, no internet bullshit and sub cultures were still a genuine thing.
Im in my 60's. Seventies music was a standout. But 80s was exciting
@@robbiecrossing9447 yes, the 70's were really groundbreaking!
My favourite music is generally 82-95 ish, and I was born in that time.. so I can understand why you would say that. Thankful for the internet, and hopeful for the future.
@@bonechip01 Oooh......now you're talkin!
I graduated from college in 1983. Ultravox was one of my favorite groups. RIP Chris Cross. ❤️🙏
One of the best song's from the 80's. The mixture of piano, violin and synth/electronic drums truly is a masterpiece in it's own right.
CONNY PLANK
Don't forget the epic video clip.
Viola!
it is a work of art in the form of pop music
Spot on!
Bret Easton Ellis book The Shards brought me here. I’ve never heard this song before and he mentions it numerous times throughout the book so I had to listen to it for myself. Its hauntingly beautiful 🤍
Same
Yeah, brought me here too and i'm not dissappointed. Great tune.
This song shaped my teen-hood. I'm 54 and the haunting hasn't let off.
Vienna.
I absolutely hear you🤗
This.
im 37 and all i can say is amen.
oh yeah
Same here
I can't explain where this song takes me... A perfect combination of past (classical piano) and future (synth violin) in the same atmosphere, with a touch of darkness. Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever!!!
Wan Iensen ME TOO.. AWESOME SONG
INTENSE AND HYPNOTIC
Wan Iensen Vienna is the capital of Austria
Takes me back to the 1980's... memories.
Raven Eye
Everybody knows that... I guess.
They don't make music like this anymore. Classic ❤❤❤
The whole album was brilliant, one of the best.
Who's "they"? Why don't you? You should learn the synth, if you haven't already. Don't be a goof. The world is waiting for you.
Light one up and at the beginning, the drumming bom bom bom bom dam dam , blow out the ciggy smoke on the dam dam . It takes you out to space man 😊
Yes they do, you just have to look for it
yes and also getting to no 2 in the charts .................. when it should have been no 1 for months what a masterpiece
I was 7 years old when this song was released as a single. It has the same effect on me now as it did then. Melancholic, haunting and beautiful. I feel lucky to have experienced the 80s as a child. From Pop through to early Techno and Metal, the music was incredible.
i was that same age too, we were so lucky to had been in that era .
This wasn't just a song, it was an epic. A beautiful story told harnessed with a mesmerising build-up of emotion and backed by sensational musical changes that take your breath away... 5 minutes of Midge Ure perfection.
nicely put
Mate, that's why I bought them album
And still have it
😊
Very underrated band in my opinion...
Yes indeed spot on
On this day 9th January 1981, the single was released. 40 years ago, incredible! It sounded like the future.
I was surprised to find it was available in the summer of 1980 on the album.
@@ajs41 It was the way the industry worked then. Thriller broke that model a couple of years later
And in the 'future'.....the song is still fabulous
Still has so much feeling and depth for me.
@@keristyles8668 Absolutely, it still does it for me.
Scotland's legendary Mide Ure. Incredible and Inspirational..
Rest In Peace, Chris Cross. Your lyrics for this classic will live on in our hearts forever.
40 years ago. And still one of the best songs I've ever heard.
omg! 40 years? I. can't. process.
We got old. I still can't believe it.
Crazy!!
I totally agree ,such a beautiful song ,hello from Dunoon ,Scotland.
@@ianpoole1861 Hello from Tennessee!
My older sisters classmate!!! We knew he could sing, but had no idea how far it would take him!!!
A proud Cambuslang, Glasgow boy!!! ❤❤❤
wow. i can imagine.
Very nice!
He is also a fantastic producer/engineer Scotland should be proud 😊
Still sends shivers down my spine after all these years.
It does with me too Dawn as I was 20 at the time and beginning to learn about life. It didn't all go well, but it was a once in a lifetime experience. x
Me to Dawn , I was 23 when first heard this song , now I'm 66 . My doesn't time fly ! . Still sends shivers though me ❤
R.I.P. Chris Cross - U will always be remembered as the co-writer of vienna alongside Midge Ure
This song brings so many memories back my father would take us from the north of Scotland down to Yorkshire to visit my grandparents and I’d sit in the back of the car in the black dark (dad always likes to travel through the night) and listen to this song on my Sony Walkman. Sadly my dad passed in 2020 and songs like this bring back precious memories ❤️
Love and respect Lianne.
Deepest condolences for your Dad mate. Your Dads music. 👍👍
Love and respect to you and your family
RIP you dad mate. I never knew my father an I am about to become a father for the first time. The song is very reflective. Take care
My dad passed away November 2020. I miss him so much. This song remember me the time I was a teenage girl and lissen this music at home. ❤️🙏🎼 From Germany with love.
God bless you 😍😍😍❤❤❤

Just heard about the passing of Chris Cross. So so sad. Rest in peace Chris and thank you for the great music. You'll be missed mate.
Absoutely brilliant track, never ages and always makes me feel the same way as i first heard it, you just cant find tunes like this anymore, the 80s rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great song... 👍
No one wants balads like this eny more, it's all tech no crap etc 😢

Called our daughter Vienna, and like i first played this while driving her home after she was born... We play it every morning on her birthday.
And that's today!
4 years and still pulls tears when i hear this. Happy Birthday Sweet Child Of Mine!

Kim Harper bless u kim....xxXxxxxxxxxxxx
❤🙏🙏
She has gone to a better place.....
Kim Harper I hear you from Canada!
Immortal classic. This song will be played 100 years after its release.
How this was never number one in the charts boggles the mind... One of the best songs if not the best in the 80,s.. Glad I was part of it.
Joe Dolce wouldn't shaddap his face.
There was also the slight matter of the killing of John Lennon.
Fyi, It reached 1st in Netherlands for six consecutive weeks.
@@abbofun9022 I meant to say UK charts. Joe wouldn't shut his face dolce kept them off the top spot
Agreed 👍 am I right it did eventually outsell shaddup your face that year in 1981 though here in uk ?
Is this song 40 years old? Where have the years gone? Great song... love it.
czcams.com/video/8ZSlpoVpe_Y/video.html
😂, I came to know this today only though I have been listening to it for 10 years, genius
We're all getting old!
Truly one of the greatest songs of not only the '80's but also of all time. Simply magnificent.
I get goosebumps every time I hear the chorus of this song.
I as well.
70s, 80s, 90s…..I am so glad I was there to witness so much amazing music!
@@RogerSole2
Cool, thank you. I like that song 😉
The video: big man, big heart, happy guy. Loved it.
I remember being a 14 year old kid and listening to this for the first time in 1981. After soaking up music in the 70s, this song heralded that, my era, (the 80s) had arrived. Nothing before it sounded like it. Classic!
Well this and "Are Friends Electric" announced the new musical era .. albeit AFE slightly earlier
80's music is in a class of its own.. I was 16 when this came out.. Every sunday paused over the record button to tape the top 20 from the top 40..
Lol... totally....I was around 14 as well
Don't you wish you could go back and relive that era again?
SteveL...THAT SONG MAN! 😍😍😍...
Gary Numan ONLY keeps getting better musically AND better looking as time goes by. 😎👏👍😍
Everything about this song is perfect.. The moody video, the atmospheric synths, the belting voice, the lyrics.. A masterpiece
Yes masterpiece
I nooooooooo
Who rigged the charts so that Shaddup you face beat it to nr 1?
I rigged the charts!.@@OTIB1
RIP Chris Cross. A legacy of epic tunes!
Sad to hear of Chris' passing. But good to know this is still being listened to in 2024.
Ultravox songs carried me through painful childhood. A broken home, a lost hope, abandonment by your parents, high school drop out, poverty. Midge Ure's melancholic voice and UV's piano had some powerful and uplifting energy. I kept listening Dancing With Tears, Hymn and Vienna, over and over just to keep me from running away from home. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
You did well to just survive. I will you all good fortune.
Jo montenae
You are some real special person to make it through all that ,I bet you have a great purpose I hope you realise that in your life to make all that hardship worthwhile.all the love in the world to you .keep rocking
Same here with parents and abandonment
Bless you. You are not alone. Sad, but true. Be happy.
Hope alls good with you now .. 😢
Reminds me of falling in love... and we're still together 37 years later. Midge sings "this means nothing to me" like it means EVERYTHING. Brilliant.
She DOES mean SOMETHING to you then. True love.
Ure didn't like the tune and said "This means nothing to me" which was eventually used in the lyrics. 🤷
One of the best 80´s Tracks
R.I.P Chris Cross bass player and Co writer of this majestic masterpiece
George Michael, David Gahan, Tony Hadley and Midge Ure were THE voices the 80s brought to us. What a blessing!
Maybe add Gary Numan to that list as the spark that lit the fire.
Yes my dear George Michael, was a great.
Don't forget David Bowie..my friend.
David Bowie and Fish Marillion
Paula Terry belongs on that list
I'm glad new generations are discovering this, there were such great songs from the early 80's that were dark, rhythmic, ambient, artistic, goth inspiring, you name it. MTV showed a lot of them until taken over by top 40's.
That is what makes life special, we never stop learning and discovering new things. We will always have our music, that can't be taken away from us I hope
czcams.com/video/8ZSlpoVpe_Y/video.html
The Americans brought me here. Man, love that these classics are being brought back full circular and we can bask in their greatness. :)
When I was younger my mum would sit me in front of VH1 and also play old VHS recordings of top of the pops. I'm in my 30s now and so grateful she did
#13reasonswhy #soundtrack #netflix #thissongisatrueclassic #staysafe #stayhealthy 😉
This song was one of my favorites when I was 8 or so. I remember crying to it because it felt so nostalgic, and today I still can't hear it without getting emotional.
Just a fantastic record .. I grew up born in 91 my mother listening to it constantly and as an adult I must listen to this song at least 5 times a week … Ultravox were fantastic
No song has so many twist and turns, it's a masterpiece
Yeh totally master-class through out 😎
Songs by the English group "Cardiacs" do, but they're not the same. They're also certainly not what I'd recommend to someone who wants to relax, unless you're sort of one who loves to relax in the middle of and in spite of a mental equivalent of a hurricane.
Cardiacs are more dramatic, abrupt, chaotic, and (often to first-time listeners who go into Cardiacs' strangest territory) they can be _very_ confusing.
One of their easier songs to listen to is "Big Ship," but it's not one of the twistier songs. That would go to "R.E.S.," for starters. After about the 2 minute mark, the song goes all over in an instrumental section for another 2 and a half minutes, including a "stop-start-stop" section that I've never heard repeated in any other piece of music.
Here's to give an idea of what Cardiacs may sound like, if you know these following groups; Cardiacs have influences from early Split Enz, Gentle Giant, and XTC.
You should try Cygnet Committee then. I think David Bowie knows a loooot about twist and turns 👍
One exception,Bohemias Rapsody
@@ovidiuiftimie9071 agree with that one 100%, another classic
One of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Kept off the UK number 1 spot by Shaddup You Face by Joe Dolce 🙄
WORD!!!
Absolutely! It's perfect!
@@darrendavies8252 As an Australian, I am
embarrassed by that. I apologise on behalf of the whole country
@@TimmyTickle
Don’t blame you, Joe Dolce or your country. British record buyers bought more of Joe’s single than Ultravox’s. Simple as that really.
The talent the 80s produced will never reach that height again.
April 2 2024 I'm very sad to hear of Chris passing on. Loved this band for years! Saw them on the Quartet tour in Massey Hall Toronto 1982 (yes I'm old now) and they were brilliant! RIP Chris and Thank you for your mesmerizing music! 😥
Music in the 80s was an exciting time. Ultravox was the world I wanted to live in.
70s 80's 90s British music undeniably world leaders the list is endless...peace to all in these times xxx
If it's British its always good.
I have to say, British culture is so great, musicians, filmmakers, writers, painters, all kind of arts.
Don't forget the 60s too :)
Guess it wasn’t called the Second (British Are) Coming for nothing. My question: when was the first one? The day Paul Revere’s took his out ride, or the day Paul McCartney and three other guys landed in the US for their first tour?
Midges voice in this song, operatic range, incredible!
The purity and elegance of this song, delivered by a stunning vocalist is just perfection
The 80s...reminds me of the future we should have had.
Ain't that the truth!
amen to that
And thus...Vaporware! ;)
It's not too late! Keep fighting against all the bullshit. Good luck to you.
The toxic narcissistic boomers want to ruin what little of life we have left before they leave...
Ultravox was the first band I ever saw live way back in 1984. They were brilliant and Midge Ure still going strong. Saw him play in Glasgow a couple of years ago. Still sounding great.
Masterpiece. I'm 58 years old.... love it.
Oh, Vienna. One of the most romantic songs ever. I wanna fall in love in Vienna just cuz of Ultravox. Thank you Midge and guys.
For me, for many, many, many too: simply the best song of the 80's.
A most underrated song. Absolute brilliance.
80's was the decade of the best music ever
Yes still listening june 2019 as a 70 year old
God bless u
czcams.com/video/L9SNJC3YcTQ/video.html what you think of this
Sorry, but good music is eternal. It knows no decade, greatest or forsaken. It belongs to the spheres once it is heard.
As a 65 year old i agree. But dont throw away the 60 and 70' s
Kind regards
Why? Why you say "underrated"? I love it. Loads of others on here do. I've never heard ANYONE say - "aye that Vienna. It's Awright. But I prefer most of OMDs stuff" 🧐 Show me these underraters Hugo McCliche? Tick Tock
A gem from the 80s, my old man loved them, this was one of the songs played at his funeral…still makes me tearful to this day.
My top 5 best songs, your dad had great taste!sending love. ❤
If anyone ever says the eighties were crap for music they clearly don’t know what they are talking about . The musical autobiography of my life and these tracks transport me back to those times whenever I need to go . As you get older unfortunately you want to go back a bit to often … ❤❤
Totally agree with you.
If such people can't be persuaded by means of reasoned argument and empirical evidence (such as we see here) then they are best ignored.
I have never heard anyone say that, usually the opposite from every age group
You’re absolutely right. The more the world changes, the more I feel sad that my kids didn’t get to grow up in the world I did.
Music in this 21st century is terrible compared to the brilliant music from the 20th century especially the 1970s and 1980s IMO
I went to Austria with my primary school in 1981 and had this tune on tape..I had an early Walkman and played it on repeat
Absolutely timeless ✅🖤🖤
Irony is, it was filmed in London lol
That’s my childhood ruined then😂😂😂
@@docgb5990 Not completely filmed in London - St Stephens Cathedral, the "Zentral Friedhof", Karlsplatz and a Viennese café were part of the video. Read the information about the video and you will learn about the ups and downs of Ultravox filming this video.
Thanks for that information 😊 it’s good of you to take the time to comment and I will read the information 🙏🏽
@@docgb5990 Happy to try and help your childhood not be completely ruined. All the best!
This song is a feeling.
One of the best from the 80’s.❤
I was born in the 70s grow up in the 80s loved this reminds me of my late 2nd to youngest brother legend
It's not 80s, it's timeless. I love this song
Thank god I was a teen in the 80s. RIP music
Yes still listening june 2019 as a 70 year old
Still listening as a 68 year old

Party on ,,,,,,,
Vienna was the first single i ever bought on vinyl.
Can’t believe it still sounds such a great track all these years later.
Timeless
This song is so deep. It is not only musically brilliant, but the lyrics are profound and thoughtful.
Was a month away from being 16 when I heard this for the first time. I thought it was the best song I'd ever heard and It's just a masterpiece in my book. I stop what I'm doing and listen again whenever it's on. Alas the golden age of electronic music was brief and 40 plus years have passed all too quickly.
The Crown brought me here. And brings me back to the earliest memories of MTV. What a stunning a video, I thought at the time. And still do.
Same! I heard it in The Crown and was like "wait, I remember this song, I love it!"
What episode
@@bg137 im not sure but i think episode 3. It lasts for a few seconds only. Its in the new season 4
Same
Same, the crown brought me here
I was 9 or 10 when this song came out. I was always sitting by the radio, recording songs on a cassette tape. This one made a big impression on me. Haunting, beautiful... I lived in Vienna for a few years and they captured the atmosphere wonderfully in this song. Listening to Vienna I can remember exactly how I felt 40 years ago as a young boy sitting there and listening.
Everything about that song is an absolute masterpiece. Well before my time but I can appreciate good music when I hear it
R I P chris,an amazing time for synth music early 80s...Vienna was a masterpiece,il never forget hearing WE STOOD STILL for the first time, great time for music so glad I was there.
Midge Ure’s voice still sends chills down my spine. The Eighties music was wonderful! It still is. I have been playing Ultravox on repeat at the moment. It’s keeping me sane in this Hideous time we are living in right now. Thank you Midge 💕🌻
80s forever baby
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just Wikipedia Ultravox and they don't even mention Midge's name what's up with that???!!??
@@kareybarey13 you can his name to it with references
It may be over 40 years old, but it is as haunting and as individual as it will always be. I remember recording it off top of the pops on a cheap cassette with a microphone, it sounds a lot better nowadays. 😉
This means nothing to me.
@@garou20zx Oh
down voting, I am not that old, this was from my teen age years, only a few decades ago. Sh1t I am old thanx for the slap.
I have Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads recorded off the radio on cassette when it was in the charts.
@@garou20zx Ha, ha, ha, 😁 😂 😀 🤣 funny fucker! X
Dad brought back these gems in the 80’s. Always leave a lump in my throat. Sometimes hard to hold back the tears & smiles.
I distinctly remember when this song came out. Those days were the best. But I, like many, didn't know at the time how golden things were at that time.
A truer word never said good times never to be seen again
So very true! Seems we appreciate that era more so now!
Darn Joe Dolce!
@Bill Sugden - Shaddup your face!
Rose tinted spectacles much?
The morning my mother died this song played on the radio as my dad walked into my room and told me she has gone to heaven. 28 years ago. Miss you...
That's as rough was it gets. The song will always haunt you...
RIP Chris Cross (July 14, 1952 - March 25, 2024), aged 71
You will be remembered as a legend.
REST IN PEACE TO CHRIS CROSS
WHAT A LEGEND
A most underrated song. Absolute brilliance.
Underrated? Surely not. It's universally acknowledged as a classic.
@@mrvillan6951 I think he means yes it's underrated because it is acknowledged as one of the best if not the best song that never got to no.1
I won't mentioned the rubbish that kept it off the no.1 slot but it only went to no.2
To be honest it is kinda out on the margins of the classics for such an amazing song.
Vienna is a fabulous city, but back in the 80s when the city was the last stop in the western world, there was a dark mystique to it which this song and video capture brilliantly.
What an eloquent comment...
Well put!
can you elaborate on this at all? im very interested in context. thanks!
@@MrOranj Prague was on the eastern side behind the iron curtain
This means nothing to me.
From the beginning I love this song. And now at 71 years I discover it on UT.....Still its amazing...
Woooo 🍕🐢🐢🐢🐢
I'm 55 the best times of our lives in the 80s
Well said
This haunting song was the first that grabbed my attention of Ultravox's amazing talent. Saw them in Detroit at a small venue in 1982 for the Quartet tour. Amazing concert and presentation - more than a concert, it was a complete stage production. I'm so sorry to hear that Chris has left us to join that heavenly Live Aid band that's growing way too fast. RIP Chris and thank you for the music.
I’m really surprised that this song was made in 80’s. It’s so futuristic and darker than other pop songs.
Nakaji
Music video producers and directors / movie producers were generally a lot more talented back in the 70s & 80s.
Assia Rashid
That’s really right.
Pop music was at it's most sincerely weird and melancholy from about 1981-1984. Some Artists tried to pull off something similar in the 90's but it always seemed phony, plus they had less talent than the early 80's artists.
@@ryanjacobson2508
True!!
Talented singing artists
Suave musicians
Emotive and intense music video directors.
Only someone who didn't live through the eighties could make a comment like that. It was bleak and so was the music.
This song and Fade to Gray just takes me back to the good old 80's where most of the best music of that decade I have to say came out of bands from the UK anyone agree?
BRADLEY MITCHELL yes i do agree with you ok 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
without a doubt.....i live in Canada and it took a long time for punk/new wave to get here - 80's and our clubs were the Luv a Fair (or luv your hair as it was also known) Smiling Buddha, Faces, Graceland and everyone wanted to go to England - it was always the talk - some actually did -- the whole punk thing was so fascinating to us and we emulated it as much as possible - if you were British you were the coolest thing alive - i miss those days (i have the CD in my car, yes a CD and i just played this today
Germany says: of course, but not only in the eighties. 🎵🇬🇧🎶
No question
Oh yes i bought both of those singles ahh those 80's were the best ever
I miss the old Vienna ❤
The Shards sent me here. This song fits the vibe of that book so well!
We still exist. Never forget who you are.
@@midgeure5679 Clown-world is nothing to me!
But I bless the rock of Vienna. Be well and fearless.
Strong message. Yes we are here. Always
An absolute classic. Thank you Ultravox.
Hav,nt you listened to Ultravox before Ure with John Foxx , before they became commersialised , and played into the system ,
I played this over & over 1980 Rocks on old fashioned record !
This isxa haunting timeless masterpiece ❤
Rest in peace Chris, thank you for the music and being part of my all time favourite band. Your musicianship was integral and you will be sorely missed.
80's will remain the greatest era. Period.
70;s were better! Free Schools out rock concerts every year on the last day,Live bands all over in many hotels with live dancing replaced by strippers in the 80's,bush parties,The strip downtown replaced by LRT here (killed it) in the 80's also...I'm just getting started..Oh and crime was very low..But the 80;s were close 2cnd for me..

WHO is listening in 2020?
At 46 years old, I don't think i'll ever stop listening to this masterpiece.
Listen to this perfect song atleast once a week🥰
As a youngster this song always made me feel very special about my city, and tbh it still does ;)
2020.....
I am 58 and I will always like this song
One of the best songs ever created, i saw Midge live at Rewind a good few years back and when he sang this i was mesmerised
Soundtrack to my youth
I’m currently listening to this great song while on holiday in Vienna
WOW! Brings me back to the 80´s. Even though I´m perfectly happy I miss this times so badly...
Memories of being 16, working a YTS scheme with a painting and decorating firm called Cain & Son.
We had the radio on and this played every half hour in 1981.
The smell of paint, the taste of black coffee as we had no milk, and fish and chips from the local shop.
The radio announced the engagement of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer.

What an evocative description. A little bit of poetry in an unexpected place.

It was about March 1981. I associate it with coming home from school to have my Dinner. Always a pancake with butter, Malt bread and Cherry Bakewell. Then let the dog out in the garden. Then back to school. A great time.
Another of my most treasured , favourite 80s songs. On release as a young boy of under 11 this was magical to my ears and fortunately it still is. Iconic.
still gives me goosebumps.
