This is one of the sweetest songs I have ever heard. I bought the cassette when it came out. My daughter was in 9th grade at the time and we played it over and over. Time goes by so fast. I am turning 69 in February and I am still amazed by this beauty. It is poetry.
I am 61 and have always loved this song but have not always been aware of it!! I know that sounds stupid but life has been up and down to say the least!! Been hitting it alot lately though ,a touch of audio loveliness in an ever increasing bonkers world!!!
In all the years I've listed to this song, this is my first time hearing it live..and it's just as sweet as it is on the record..class tune..one of the best tunes written...IMO!
Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows Perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine As the daydreams slide to color from shadow Picture the moon glow that dazzles my eyes And I love you Just lying, smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learned to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Dream of sights of sleigh rides in seasons Where feelings not reasons can make you decide As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights And I love you Just lying, smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learned to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple every time Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you If love's the truth then look no lies And let me swim around your eyes I've found a place I'll never leave Shut my mouth and just believe Love is the truth, I realize Not a stream of pretty lies To use us up and waste our time Lying, smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learned to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple every time Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you Pure and simple just for you
This song simply stuck in my unconscious and remain there untik i lidtened to it by chance. It took me back to when i was a child. Pure and simply beautiful.
Yes, there is an original video of Pure. It was on RUclips up until a few months ago, then it was removed for some reason. I should have downloaded it. Great video.
I PLAYED THE BUGAL IN SEA CADDETS EARLY 80S QUITE EXPERTLY I FELT PROUD IN MY PRESICION CREESED UNIFORM & GATERS I TRYED TO JOIN ROYAL MARINE CORPS 88 I USED TO SUFFER PANIC ATTACKS SO HAD 2 PINTS OF LAGER TO STEDY MY NERVES BAD MISTAKE BUT IF I HADNT I WOULD HAVE SHAKEN BADLY SO ALL WAS LOST CHILDHOOD TRAUMA...LONE WOLF CALLED HORSE E.T...❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅
I like this version as more than the studio version, but you have to give Ian Broudie a break. The Lightning Seeds album "Cloudcuckooland" was a solo project by Ian Brodie - So all the songs, instruments, recording were done with track recording. Ian produced groups such as Echo and The Bunnymen, Icicle Works, and the Fall. thanks for posting the video!

I really don't mean this in a creepy or weird way, but you really look incredible for your age !
❤
And...🎵🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@craigwilson6429 not creepy at all. Thanks!
One of the best songs of all time
Ian has said himself recently "Pure" is the best song he's written. And to be honest, Pure is a classic. Thankyou Ian.
Best 3 minute pop song ever written. The keyboard and bass parts are perfect and will never be bettered.
4 minutes in this and other versions, none wasted. 👍

Was walking the dog on Paddington meadows and heard them doing this at Warrington festival. Brilliant.
2020 still listing it with the same feeling I had in 1989.
Me too :)
Me too in 2022
I'm listening in 2023 and it still feels that way.
You lucky lucky people!! Hope it lasts forevrrrrr ❤

Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine
As the daydreams slide to color from shadow
Picture the moon glow that dazzles my eyes
And I love you
Just lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple every time
Dream of sights of sleigh rides in seasons
Where feelings not reasons can make you decide
As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
And I love you
Just lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple every time
Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's stardust in my head
Pure and simple every time
Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you
If love's the truth then look no lies
And let me swim around your eyes
I've found a place I'll never leave
Shut my mouth and just believe
Love is the truth, I realize
Not a stream of pretty lies
To use us up and waste our time
Lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time
Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple every time
Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There's stardust in my head
Pure and simple every time
Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you
Pure and simple just for you
It's the keyboard that carries the contra melody...this adds a great deal to the song!!
I guess I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
It works for me
This song reminds me of my grandson he's special needs
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cuz they capture the 80s with grandeur and a dash of sorrow.👍🏼😀
Not so much sorrow but reflection.
I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could 😢. Better times.
Music was so pure and simple back then
What a great song!
This song simply stuck in my unconscious and remain there untik i lidtened to it by chance. It took me back to when i was a child. Pure and simply beautiful.
my best list new wave songs ever
Raw and beautiful! Love this version...Martyn Campbell is having a great time!
Out of this world about the best lyrics & song ever, the world should know it.
Great song I love the keyboard sound
i love this song, the outpouring of lyrics at the end is so infectious...look at me with starry eyes, push me up to starry skies...
this is just a sweet and dreamy love song...i always seem to come back to it
I just smile with the 1990's. Many great Indie Bands - Lightning Seeds the topf the pile
A young Chris Sharrock on the drums smashing it as always!!
Go on son!! X
Sometimes a song will just grab you, that what this one did to me. Loving it
Couldn't agree more. Had me the 1st time I heard it
Adore this tune, must listen to it at least 10 times a week..
wow excellent find! brings back many memories, a timeless classic! thanks!
Quality song writing, decent live sound
Must be as I’ve matured I’ve come to realise what great song this is
Perhaps someone you know can sparkle and shine.

Hermosa rola como extraño esos tiempos.pos de vagancia risas y alegrías sin pensar en nada más........
Love this song! Go 80's!
I do not know much about this group, but I have this son deep inside from the first time.
I am french. I discovered this song very late. It was not a hit in France at the time. I still don't understand why.....
I saw these guys at the kubix festival. Riley (ian's son) was there playing guitar, and ringo's son playing the drums.
I saw them live once - and it was an excellent show.
Made my top 5 lifetime albums.
Ahh that’s the time I bought Martin to you. Omg it must be 30 years now. X❤
My all time favourite song, the first blow of the trumpet, sends me to fabulous memories…❤️
It´s my Favorite song too, You have good musical tastes, regards from Mexico see ya!
anyone notice the last line is different from original one "pure & simple just like you"? Purely lovely : )
Drummer obviously found the original drum beat too difficult to master so just went with bang, bang, banging the beat out.
This drummer is one of the best drummers alive today
GREAT SONG COOL KEY BOARD PLAYER...LONE WOLF CALLED HORSE E.T...❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅
Yes, there is an original video of Pure. It was on RUclips up until a few months ago, then it was removed for some reason. I should have downloaded it. Great video.
Massively underrated track
And band
@@nicolanicholson4339 agreed, life of riley is subconsciously embedded in every uk football fans memory, anyone remember why?
Pure ear candy!
really love this song....2019 and still loving it....
