Martika showed incredible maturity and awareness in creating this song, it was a different subject matter for her and she was only just 18-19 when she wrote it. Just amazing.
Remember hearing to this song in early 90's. I was 2-3 years old at most, at least I was still taking naps throughout the day like every little child does. My mother had been putting me in a baby carriage in the kitchen then, where a radio was always playing silently. Martika was still very popular back then and they played her songs very often, especially Toy Soldiers. Today I heard it on the radio after all these years, and believe me or not all that memories came back, and I litterally wanted to cry. I recall those early years of my life as the best, when everything had it's happy place. After that everything started to slowly fall apart into pieces.
I am in recovery from alcoholism, and this song just hit me in a way that it hadn't before. I have known this song since it came out in 1989 (I was 18) and it never really affected me the way it is now, having gone through the things I have in my adult life. I seriously haven't heard this song in a good 15 years...and in those 15 years, I have lived a lifetime, it seems. I nearly lost everything I hold dear...and going cold turkey and kicking the habit was the best thing I could have ever done. I still struggle at times, but I am glad to say I am now a non-drinker. :) I have nearly 10 months sober. My quit date was 9/11/16. To those still struggling: hold strong, and you will get through it. You just have to WANT to...that was a big part of it for me. I finally WANTED to get sober after relapsing so many times I have lost count. Be strong my fellow alcoholics (and those struggling with drugs)....you got this.
This song is heartbreaking it was written about the one and only corey ian haim he battled addiction since he was 14 this song was written when he was 17 in 1989 sadly he passed away when he was 38 due to pneumonia i miss him so much, he deserved the world but the world didnt deserve him
Once I heard this song before and I have never heard it before it made me feel a certain feeling of nostalgia, for some reason. I don’t know what this song has but it’s just the best.❤️❤️
How did I not make the connection before?! Marta Morreno from Kids Incorporated is behind this masterpiece! This song is living proof of how much talent that show introduced us to.
my dad used to play this song when i was little...today in school we were learning about child soliders and she played this song...i just sat there and sang along...this is a verry touching song
My God, the lyrics of this song, are so true. And it applies to every drug. The drug of unrequited love, the drug of food, the drug of drugs themselves, the drug of alcohol, etc We all fall down like toy soldiers :(
I know it's about drug addiction, but to me the song and especially the chorus describes the life itself. Toy soldiers - those are us all, constantly fighting for education, jobs, money, goods. Each of us think he or she is the only one, but in reality we are just little gears in the huge machinery of the world. Life tears us apart bit by bit throughout the years, and though we keep on fighting we can never finally win, because everyone has to fall down (die) at some point, despite our best efforts. And the battle has to keep on going, cause it's how this world is made, and we are to small and weak to do anything about it. The song seems to have a happy mood to it, but deeply it's sad as hell. However it describes the life without unnecessary pathos, by just telling us "that's how it is and how it has to be here, the same for everyone, you can't do much about it so just keep on going with your life, whatever it is".
..this song wets my eyes for an exact reason related to an exact name ,,,,,,,the power of music that builds worlds ..................so lovely melody...
By hearing this, I see Dana Plato and a lot of the childhood actors who destroyed their life with addiction. If the ones who died so young could reach us, this would be their anthem.
Some auto tune is nice but I don't like it when they turn it all the way up so their whole voice sounds completely different. The worst to me is new rap where they sound like they are mumbling their words
I’m glad I found you. We met once a while back, you may not remember, I talk at some length about the 12 step programs. I hope you are still looking into them. Don’t you give up on them, I think you might find a place in helping others that are going thru the same thing as you have. I try to do that with my experience with the 12 step programs. I think Justine Bieber does the same thing with God because of the experience he went thru in regards to the music industry, I wish I could put my arms around him also and tell him I am so sorry for how he suffered also and that I wasn’t there to help him also , just as you, but I did try, now I’m counting on you to put up the good fight for others AND for yourself. I will always watch how you are doing, your quite talented and you have a big heart although you have learned to hide it from the people you have been exposed to in that line of work. Don’t you forget, I’ll always be your biggest fan nan
For some reason, people constantly call this song and Eminem's Like Toy Soldiers different versions of the same song, or at least implying it. They're not. And Eminem doesn't "ruin" this song for me for sampling it. I like both for different reasons. Toy Soldiers is a song about battling cocaine addiction. The fact that Martika sings the same disturbing poem as the Kids Incorporated team really drives the message home, without explaining the real meaning. You're supposed to think about it. Think about what she's trying to make you understand. It's, dare I say, deep. But she can still save herself from the war. Like Toy Soldiers is a song about failure to stop something when you, yourself are to blame, much like the person this song is about. One interesting thing of note is that the second part of the poem: (Bit by bit, torn apart) is sung by children, whereas only Martika sings that in the original. It's already too late to stop the casualties. Martika uses techniques of powerful anthems and it feels like Martika is reaching to you, as she did her friend, to try and get you to understand. You can't fight mind altering drugs and you can't fight the truth. You'll use drugs and be used in a never ending cycle that can only be prevented from hurting you by not even participating. Eminem isn't trying to help. Eminem is sitting in a chair and talking to you about how he fucked up and it's too late to stop it from doing permanent damage to those he loves. He understands he's done wrong and he's trying to escape the endless war before it takes more of his division. This song isn't tragic, it's picking the pieces up after a meltdown, constantly reminded of your foolishness in hindsight. Rappers who go too far, who can't take a blow, who have to have the last laugh are the leaders and role models of a gangsta rap culture and the leaders in an endless war as ignorant as a plastic toy soldier. If anyone should be trying to teach kids not to respond to threats with punches, and punches with guns, it's Em, but someone dissed Hailey and he lost control, with terrible effects. If someone attacks the ones you care about, can you practice what you preach? In conclusion, the two songs are about totally different metaphors with toy soldiers, but both are sad songs trying to teach a different lesson to the viewer about a real problem that can't be fixed or fought, only prevented by just not giving into it or letting it affect you. You need to be strong. Strong of mind, strong of body, and stronger than cheap chinese toys.
Thank you for this information. I never really thought of this song like that. It makes a lot of sense. I do not like Eminem song for Toy soldier mainly because It was many bad words and I not a fan of his singing but that is just me. Thank you again for the facts.
I think that your words are very useful to encourage those who have not fallen yet. I believe, too, that preventing is far better than solving. Blessings.
I wish the lyrics were more optimistic. Luckily the person engulfed in drug addiction mentioned in this song managed to overcome it. Thomas Moore once said : “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”
my mom introduced me to this song a few days ago and now i cant stop listening to it!! i keep singing it in my head!! i love the 80's music much better than todays (btw im 17...)
MsIsraeligirl wow this was a long time ago omg you must be 23 now ! I agree! I’m 16 and can’t stop listening to this, I’m actually performing this song on the piano soon ! 😁🤞🏼
Lots of people saying "Eminems version was better" it wasn't a version, it was a sample and obviously this use is better, or Eminem wouldn't have used it would he. But what Eminem did with this sample was amazing and a credit to the original, both showing that in life we are all toy soldiers to higher powers, with avoidance being the only solution.
Emily Connell marsika was the real classic, he had to ask her permission. she still got paid for using her song. You give them royality checks. this song was a number one hit also. Eminem was a great song, but he sampled it, he has to ask her, or she can sue. obviously she let him use it. he was obviously inspired by this song.
truly work of art and skill wish thier was more singers like her today i could listen to this song everyday realy/truly madly deeply inlove with this song.
I was listening to Eminem's version back in 2004 or 2005. My grandfather and I got into an argument because I thought Ems was the only version lol. Now I am in love with both.
Heard this song for the first time a year ago. It got me through rocky moments with my boyfriend. Coming back to this song now , cause we're breaking up. Damn :(
I found this song randomly, and I listened this with my girlfriend 2 years ago, when we were 15...Then she left me for another one.. I told to my self that I would never listened to this song again... But tonight randomly, I found this song again, and now that I am 17, I'm listening to this crying and thinking about my new girlfriend.... and I promise to my self that I will listen to this song forever❤️❤️
Yes When We Lose Everyone Of Importance that actually Stood up to the Constant Reminders and Battles we face by the hands of Our Own blood...You talk to Walls and walls it's a harsh reality I hope No one else ever has to endoor.
Theres a very darkness to this song. Think about it a year before this song came out, we had The Lost Boys and Cry Little Sister. Than a year later we had this song. I remeber first hearing this song in the 1988 and just listening to it as a very dark song, which was cool for a woman that was singing for my age at the time girls. And really this song wasnt even going in that direction. Its a good song but also a dark one for its time. Its a very underrated song that in my mind should be re reviewed and put on a pedestal and just be looked at. I dont know about hall of fame but a song that should be looked at. Plus i give credit to Martika in her later days looked at by Minneapolis born Prince Rogers Nelson. Way to go Martika.
It's sad how most people just came here from Scream Queens 😔 This has been one of my family's favourite songs. I have known it for as long as I remember and I think more people should know it as it is a very sad and powerful song.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE. THIS WAS AWESOME. UNLIKE ARTISTS TODAY, HE ASKED MARTIKA FOR PERMISSION TO SAMPLE HER SONG. HIS LYRICS MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE THERE. I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY HE STEPPED AWAY FOR A WHILE. HAILEY IS OFF TO COLLEGE NOW AND HE'S STRONGER THAN EVER. ONE OF THE ILLE AND REAL MC'S IN THE GAME. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT HIM, BUT YOU CAN'T DENY HIS TALENT.
When I heard the Eminem sample of this song, I’d figured it was a sample, but I couldn’t find out from where. The satisfaction I feel after finding is great and I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for the last month. Phenomenal.
For those wondering, the other musicians are backing vocalists Alitzah Wiener, Devyn Puett, Kimberly McCullough, Marlen Landin, Rahsaan Patterson, Rasha Patterson, Renee Sandstrom, and Fergie; guitarist Mark Leggett; keyboardist Gregory Smith; and drum programmer Michael Jay.
Id just hear it firstime now.. i miss my childhood era bcus of this song... Hus here 2nd day of new year 2019 ,love 80s us still alive and kickin...bravooooo from the philippines.. Pa like naman haha ha
You're taking a long drive, you pass by Miami beach in the evening and you look at the horizon. You turn on the radio and this starts playing and you drop down to 40mph,cruising speed.
omg this song is awesome,eminem brought me here! his version great but this version awesome. its really old school. im young but I got a soft spot 4 old school
I'm only 10 and I'm a complete 80s girl. I love just about every 80s song out there, act like an 80s girl, and dress like one! The 80s are the best generation. It will always have a huge place in my heart.
+Gabriel Manalo To be fair the Chanels kind of screwed themselves XD. I mean did you see how they handled themselves in court?? But hopefully we'll get a second season, I liked the show alot more then I thought I would

True enough, me too!
Me too❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jealous😊
Same!
Yes!!!! Im so glad i was born then. The last generation to grow up outside
Its nice to hear a voice that isn't auto-tuned
Unfortunately, the "performers" of 2021 (notice, I did not call them "musicians") need the auto tune.
Wow really
so true
@@russs7574 some of them don't
It was autotuned.
Martika showed incredible maturity and awareness in creating this song, it was a different subject matter for her and she was only just 18-19 when she wrote it. Just amazing.
Yeah Tracy Chapman and Fiona Apple up there in that way too
When those kids sing “Won’t you come out and play with me?” Has to be the most beautiful yet haunting things put to track.
Agreed, idk what it is about that small bit that gets to me
It’s up there for sure
Me too.❤️
All I did was knock on doors asking for kids to come out and play… those were the days
That's addiction calling

Don't know why i looked this up but 10 mos sober next week, weird, soldier on. Beautiful voice
Since the 80’s this song should forever be on Repeat
This song is a perfect example of 80's music. Just perfection.
This song is heartbreaking it was written about the one and only corey ian haim he battled addiction since he was 14 this song was written when he was 17 in 1989 sadly he passed away when he was 38 due to pneumonia i miss him so much, he deserved the world but the world didnt deserve him
The Lost Boys, my favourite movie of all. RIP Corey..you're at peace now.
No idea it was Corey Haim. What does she mean when she says "she extends the invitation?"
@@dee4844mz I think she means extending the invitation to allow him in her life.....
Love Corey Haim. He was the epitome of 80s movies. The Lost Boys..Livense to Drive..damn good movies. Every boy in the 80s wanted to be Corey Haim.
@@silva0186 wonder if he was an SRA victim
I saw her in concert back in the 80's. Excellent performer.
I’m an ex addict. Sober 4 years. Never knew this wasn’t originally an Eminem song. So glad I found this song, it resonates so clear.
Once I heard this song before and I have never heard it before it made me feel a certain feeling of nostalgia, for some reason. I don’t know what this song has but it’s just the best.❤️❤️
Listen to "Past Lives" by SapientDreams. It's a song you probably haven't heard before but will give you that same nostalgic feeling.
Stay strong all those suffering with addiction
I wanna find awesome songs like this one from the 80's
me too ohhhh nice song
Chicago hard to say im sorry.. Might not be 80s but i know you'll love it.. If you aint already listened
@@patient8098 you were right on...released 1982
I love this song by sweet sensation called if wishes came true. It so reminds me of an ex boyfriend. Lol
Debbie Gibson and Tiffany have some awesome slow songs. Amy Grant also. They are all around the 80s
2021 still listening to this great music......only emptiness remains it replaces all the pain
Toy soldiers
How did I not make the connection before?! Marta Morreno from Kids Incorporated is behind this masterpiece! This song is living proof of how much talent that show introduced us to.
SO many younguns in here lol. I never watched scream queens. I'm an old head that just loves this song lol
Carla Goodman I am but I listened to the song with my mom all the time
“Only emptiness remains. It replaces all, all the pain”
Oh god how true that line is.
"Won't you come out and play with me!"
"Step by step heart to heart Left Right Left we all fall down! like toy soilders..'
my dad used to play this song when i was little...today in school we were learning about child soliders and she played this song...i just sat there and sang along...this is a verry touching song
such emotions and feeling in this song. addiction held me from becoming the marine I always dreamed of being. I am a toy soldier.
right there w/ you. I made it through my enlistment, but I could've been so much more.
I'm happy to sit here smoking some fine green knowing no government will brainwash me into killing anyone ever
@@erikrudolph5769 You are great, friend.
A tragic decade in human history in it's own right
How are you now mate?
My God, the lyrics of this song, are so true. And it applies to every drug. The drug of unrequited love, the drug of food, the drug of drugs themselves, the drug of alcohol, etc
We all fall down like toy soldiers :(
ur right
I agree, every time i here this song i can relate....we all fall down like toy soldiers! I thank God for His presence in my Life...
Lau Ra true
Cynthia Callahan I agree 100 percent
Lau Ra OK.
Me as a little girl thinking about toys and playing. Me as an adult thinking about my addictions and consequences.
I know it's about drug addiction, but to me the song and especially the chorus describes the life itself. Toy soldiers - those are us all, constantly fighting for education, jobs, money, goods.

By hearing this, I see Dana Plato and a lot of the childhood actors who destroyed their life with addiction. If the ones who died so young could reach us, this would be their anthem.
Sad Aysasa
This hits me everytime. Her voice is so beautiful
Awesome song! Wasn't born in the 80's but still love the music.
Gotta be one of the best song ever!
Totally agree with you!
💯% correct
and creepiest :)
My favorite 80's song! It talks about a serious issue that was a big problem in the 80's!
This kind of music, must return. No techno programes, no sound effects, only the real voice.
Some auto tune is nice but I don't like it when they turn it all the way up so their whole voice sounds completely different. The worst to me is new rap where they sound like they are mumbling their words
@@Twinklethefox9022 I don't mind autotune to give a certain effect to a voice, but not as a way to alter their voice for an entire song.

Shanekia Carruth me too
This hits different while Covid-19 is running rampant...
Groundbreaking production - heartbreaking lyrics - moving in a totally primeval way.
True but it still doesn't change the fact that this song is so freakin' sad!
Extremely emotional listening to this! The lyrics are so on point. Came out the year I was born and the meaning sums up my battle
Stay strong everyone. None of us are ever going to get out of here alive but enjoy what you got while you still got it.

My dad and I love oldies like these he showed me when I was 7 and I still listen to it 9 years later
Masterpiece.
Thank you Scream Queens.
The 80s was a fun time. Saw back to the Future in the movie theater in 85. Cool babysitting.
It's sad the amount of people who think Eminem created this..
I totally agree, I think the original version is way too good
Most people are clueless and have no respect for music, that's why
Maybe because they are a fan of eminem thet think is his it ain't their fault
amen and his version sucks
***** Argh, that's your opinion.
Boa noite, Francisco, está música é pra matar a saudade fala verdade, sou fã dessa cantora.
Why are 70's 80's and 90's songs better then 2016 songs!?
because they stop singing about things that are important to them and get nothing but catchy club songs about having sex and drugs.
+tobyyawn24 I couldn't have said it better!! totally true...
holy fuck thats a no shit of a life time
Technically speaking, this isn't a club song, but it is about Martika's friend's drug addiction.
... Which is still better than modern music... At least she thought more about the dangers than anything else.
The part of the solo always chokes me up , also at the end . one of my all time favourites
It goes so well with the Eminem song!! This song compliments it so well. There is a lot of emotion in it. This song by itself is awesome too!!
One of the most unique voice there is...
One of my personal favourites!
I miss the great 80's, good times, great songs in pop, r&b, rock etc...
Lots of people saying "Eminems version was better" it wasn't a version, it was a sample and obviously this use is better, or Eminem wouldn't have used it would he.
But what Eminem did with this sample was amazing and a credit to the original, both showing that in life we are all toy soldiers to higher powers, with avoidance being the only solution.
It actually was a version. Eminem chose another girl to sing "his version".

June giovani i agree
@@emilyconnell4207 Just... No. It was a sample. This is the original song, and it's the same voice in the Eminem song.

But tonight randomly, I found this song again, and now that I am 17, I'm listening to this crying and thinking about my new girlfriend.... and I promise to my self that I will listen to this song forever❤️❤️
Only heard the first few lines on The Goldbergs and now I love this song!
You can do it, you can kick it! Never give up giving up. Best of luck ✊🏼
Scream Queens finale. Sad scene with the chanels.
+Nicholas Morales yesss

Hester will pay in season 2!
Saddest scene
Yes When We Lose Everyone Of Importance that actually Stood up to the Constant Reminders and Battles we face by the hands of Our Own blood...You talk to Walls and walls it's a harsh reality I hope No one else ever has to endoor.
Theres a very darkness to this song. Think about it a year before this song came out, we had The Lost Boys and Cry Little Sister. Than a year later we had this song. I remeber first hearing this song in the 1988 and just listening to it as a very dark song, which was cool for a woman that was singing for my age at the time girls. And really this song wasnt even going in that direction. Its a good song but also a dark one for its time. Its a very underrated song that in my mind should be re reviewed and put on a pedestal and just be looked at. I dont know about hall of fame but a song that should be looked at. Plus i give credit to Martika in her later days looked at by Minneapolis born Prince Rogers Nelson. Way to go Martika.
80's ROCK! Thank You!! This song popped in my head and I couldnt remember who song it so Thank You! I love this song!
It's sad how most people just came here from Scream Queens 😔 This has been one of my family's favourite songs. I have known it for as long as I remember and I think more people should know it as it is a very sad and powerful song.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE. THIS WAS AWESOME. UNLIKE ARTISTS TODAY, HE ASKED MARTIKA FOR PERMISSION TO SAMPLE HER SONG. HIS LYRICS MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE THERE.
I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY HE STEPPED AWAY FOR A WHILE. HAILEY IS OFF TO COLLEGE NOW AND HE'S STRONGER THAN EVER. ONE OF THE ILLE AND REAL MC'S IN THE GAME. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT HIM, BUT YOU CAN'T DENY HIS TALENT.
This Song gives me the chills
Love this song' its one of my all time fav's. still listening to it now in 2021
I love this song
I do a lot a lot it's amazing
ahahhahahah The Goldbergs brought me here 😂😂😂😂 still listen to it, just brings old memories although i wasn't alive in the 80s
When I heard the Eminem sample of this song, I’d figured it was a sample, but I couldn’t find out from where. The satisfaction I feel after finding is great and I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for the last month. Phenomenal.
This song was a number one hit in the US in 1989 and a top 10 hit in most other countries at the time. Its a pretty well known song.
Addiction. Beautifully written Stilllll to this day.
Cold Case!
For those wondering, the other musicians are backing vocalists Alitzah Wiener, Devyn Puett, Kimberly McCullough, Marlen Landin, Rahsaan Patterson, Rasha Patterson, Renee Sandstrom, and Fergie; guitarist Mark Leggett; keyboardist Gregory Smith; and drum programmer Michael Jay.

You're taking a long drive, you pass by Miami beach in the evening and you look at the horizon. You turn on the radio and this starts playing and you drop down to 40mph,cruising speed.

"You're never gonna get me alive!!!!"

Yes cool
Im 17 and I like Eminem version,but I love her
I remember listening to this constently as a kid
I'm only 10 and I'm a complete 80s girl. I love just about every 80s song out there, act like an 80s girl, and dress like one! The 80s are the best generation. It will always have a huge place in my heart.
WOW, THIS SONG BRINGS OUT MY LOST LOVE, WE WAS IN A ACCIDENT TOGETHER, I LOST HER. I LIVED THE 80s, IM 51 AND MISS IT, RIP TERRY
I loved this song as a kid, but I had no idea what is was about. It seems much more personal when I listen to it now.
thank you very very much for sharing this great song.
Much love and respect, Anna.

#justiceforthechanels
+Gabriel Manalo To be fair the Chanels kind of screwed themselves XD. I mean did you see how they handled themselves in court?? But hopefully we'll get a second season, I liked the show alot more then I thought I would
