Guitarist Claude Thibeault, bassist Jean-Pierre Brie, drummer Phillipe Bernard and keyboard player Guy Pisapia asked vocalist Jean-Marc Pisapia to join them as the Box in 1982. He agreed, and the band released their first album (self-titled) two years later. Although all the members were French Canadian, they mostly sang in English. All the Time, All the Time, All the Time followed in 1985, but the band didn't make it in Canada until 1987's Closer Together. Their last album was The Pleasure and the Pain in 1990; after Bernand and Guy Pisapia left in 1992, the greatest hits compilation A Decade of the Box was released in 1993.

This is so Canadian 80s perfection. The optimism is healing
Canadian I'm 55 and I remember this song and brings back so many great memories. And this was Real music compared to what they have today.
I just love the way music videos were made in the 80's. You can't not love this tune.
theres just nothing better
WHAT A GREAT CATCHY SONG THAT HAS WELL STOOD THE TEST OF TIME,SASS JORDAN ADDS SO MUCH TO THE VIDEO WITH HER YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE.THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE 10 MILLION VIEWS.
Sass and Marie are two beautiful blondes, and the Box rocks, been a favorite of mine for over 25 years. Rock on, world.
Is that Marie Carmen with Sass in the video?
I really liked The Box in the 80's, and I'm rediscovering this awesome song again in 2023!
I haven't seen or heard these songs for over 20 years. I've tried searching online but no sucess. Thank you!!! I saw these guys in Halifax in July 1990: they sounded just like you hear them here on RUclips. The Box are truly a part of Canadian history and culture.
This song doesn't grow old to me, it grows newer. It's fresher and more enjoyable with each passing year. Whatever happened to harmony, positive messages, and good ol' having fun?
This song WAS SUMMER in the late-80's! The video STILL HOLDS UP today and the song STILL sounds as fresh as it was back then!
Killer tune to this day.
You know what?? My life really did kick ass in the 80's !!
Un groupe de chez nous...Le Québec!!! Salut Jean Marc et à ton groupe!
Very fun Montreal band back in the day. This was a great CD. Magnifique!
Woke up singing this Summer 2024!
Seeing the m in about 6 weeks. Jean marc still has it
Love this band. I remember when they were performing at the late Bourbon Street in St-Sauveur, Qc. Just great memories, Merci la gang.
The Box got it right. It's up to all of us! The song is good, too. Blessings! "DON'T GIVE UP!!!"
saw these guys at the ontario place forum... charisma charisma charisma....awesome live!!
Most Classic 80's Music Video ever! Love the Steady-cam too. Thanks Marc...
Proud to be Canadian....
Let's all smile together, and dance together listening to this..even if we have to be 6' apart. what a great song!
2021. Such an under appreciated group. Always loved their music.
classic 80's Canadian pop rock. love it!
+Jamie Ford No need 2 think OUTSIDE da Box.There is NO box!!!!
A lot like Doug & the Slugs !😎👍🎶
I have not heard this song in many years, and didn't know if I knew it until it started playing then just lifted my mood instantly. Such a great song even today.
This song ALWAYS makes me happy!
Love the Box! I have seen Jean Marc and crew several times over the past few years and they still have it big time! Get out there guys and girls and support this awesome Canadian band! You won’t be disappointed!
I saw them in concert back in the late 80's - they were the opening act for Chris De Burgh and they put on a fabulous show.
When sass wants to go to a carribean island with you yessssss!!!!!!!
Canadian music has got a lot of gems from the 80s but this one shines as one of the brightest.
Beautiful tune that represents a wonderful era! Thank you for sharing!
The Box and Doug & The Slugs are, in my opinion, the most under rated Canadian bands of all time.
I saw Doug and the Slugs on Galiano Island in the 70s before they even became famous. The last Ferry left waaay before the Band finished so Doug and the Slugs must have spent the night on the Island.
So many more. 84 40, Chilliwack, Gowan, the Spoons, The Arrows, Trooper, Red Rider, Prism, , Harlequin
54-40 ....
Fun bands ...
.... Ian Thornley is a God.
Big Wreck
This is the year 2020, and I'm loving this tune!
Hey man, check out the band Frozen Ghost then. The song " Should I See " should fkn get you jakt up . And when you hear it you'll want to play it for every politician and news personality out there !
I'm loving it in 2021
2022 ✌⚜
The anti-social distancing anthem! 😀
October 2023.
The sweet, uplifting vocals from Sass Jordan and Marie Carmen give this happy tune a jingling , boogie dancing quality. Its absolutely fun! I am re-discovering "The Box" after loving all their music as a child- the artfulness of their style and the gentle lilt in Jean Marcs voice sort of feels Metis- Irish to me. Alot of their songs have a warm, but upbeat Canadian folk feel to them. So glad I have re-found them in 2021!!!

@@ruthiemax3229 I love this! This is exactly what I was into in the eighties and still find amazing today! Playing it now with the speakers on!!!
Sass Jordan is in the video, but didn't sing on this track, from my understanding.
Martine St. Clair did the female vocals on Closer Together but didn't go on the video shoot so Sass Jordan did.
The two blonde female singers in the vid are Sass Jordan and Sylvie Daviau (not Marie-Carmen).
I love this song as a kid, still do! Awesome!
United we stand, divided we fall
This is the song of the summer and I am 52 years old so there’s a lot of summers that this song is the song of the summer..... beginning now
We need this song now more then ever....wish they could bring it back so people could listen to the words....but still a cool tune...hope you had a good summer!! Enjoy the coming fall
The Box were hardcore new wavers when they first started out, but they mellowed as time went on. I mean, these are the dudes who once bragged about dancing on the grave of rock n roll! That's hardcore new wave right there.
So that's what "Dancing on the Grave" was about! Thank you!
I just discovered this song only lately despite growing up in the 80's. I wonder how I missed this. It is so upbeat and a really infectious tune. I love it. Definitely a great mood enhancer. If there is such a thing as a happiness pill, well, this is it!
I love this song. I just recently found it again, I remember my dad playing this in the car when I was a kid. I still remember most of the words
Finally saw The Box last summer (2019), now a fan!
A couple of decades too slow, but welcome to the experience! (Fan since their first album, back when it first came out.) Pity that their name makes searching for their videos so obscure.
A joyful community. The video really captures the spirit of this song. Great camera work.
I spent the spring semester of 1987 at McGill as a visiting student. This song always takes me back. I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it if it received any airplay in the U.S.A. However, it was one of the only 8 or 9 songs on CHOM's painfully short playlist. Never mind it already being in heavy rotation on Much Music. I got to watch it every night of the week on every screen in Peel Pub. It eventually grew on me. I had no choice in the matter. :-)
lmao...good story..the song grew on me too but I grew up in the great white north so I heard it ALOT more. But who would think that the shorter of the 2 blonde back up singers, Sass Jordan, would surpass the Box in popularity....and music. She's closer to a Melissa Ethridge if you haven't heard her solo stuff. Check out the song Make You a Believer.
Love this song. Love everything this band put out.
Love it!!! Another gem from the 80’s… no better era of music than this period. It was a special and memorative time. If America can only find what it forgot!
I swear, when this virus mess is over, I am going to PLAY THIS AT FULL VOLUME to remind me of how valuable a GLOBAL LEVEL PLAYING FIELD actually is for us all - & how much we should ALL truly respect this moving forward. Until then, a HUGE VIRTUAL KUMBAYA BEAR HUG to everyone... be safe & play this tune for a quick smile in the interim..
You never realize how much You take for granted until You're faced with this Global Cluster F. Stay Safe Dude
Now that it's four years later since you posted your comment, I hope you had the opportunity to blast this at full volume as you wished. I just did! Take care everyone and rock on!!
this song rocks!!!!!
They all just look so dang happy!
Good beat, excellent rhythm, perfect harmony between singers. The song lifts your soul to dance. Happy to see a wonder Canadian band like the box
I saw them play at Ottawa U in 1987. Great show and a great band!
Such a sweet sound of high school....very talented group of musicians. 80s rock!
brings back wonderful memories
+anne marie Marchand Indeed. I made an extended version of Closer Together.
Saw The Box, pre-covid. Really good.
no shite, right on bro.
One of the greatest Canadian pop songs ever!
I love this band ever since I saw them in concert in Ottawa in the 80's. I believe they deserved WAY more credit and recognition than what they had... rock on.
Dude had a great original voice.
One of the greatest, horribly under-rated songs of all time.......
Box Rocks!!!!
It was written originally for the leukemia foundation
Yes! indeed
I think it's one of the greatest horrible songs of all time. I love it to pieces, but I don't think it'd sound any good at all without the nostalgia. It's pure 80s awful and it's gold.
@@samhhaincat2703 lyrics still resonates today still just put USA vs whomever at the time...
AHAUUMM!... AHAUUMM... I love the beginning of this song; I think of it when it comes to mind when I'm at work sometimes...! (:D !!)
That's the first time I'm listening to this.
Just by the look of the thumbnail I knew it would be great!
my name is Jamie, this song always brought me closer to my parents when I was growing up in the 1908s.
God this song is so dang catchy!
Always loved The Box ! A group from Montreal that did good but didn't get enough credits for the music they made. 80's rocks baby 🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤
Terrific. The Closer Together album really excelled. Enjoyable from start to finish.
Time flies...brings me back to a more innocent time
I always dug this song. This and Ordinary People.
Makes my heart smile
When music and vibes were just positive 💕
Why can't we make good music like this anymore?
Using this for my eighth grade grad slideshow, its so genius. Plus, the parents will probably appreciate some 80s music
I always loved this song!! Heard it on the radio this morning and I had to it put it in my 80s playlists. It’s just awesome. Such a great video too!
ruclips.net/video/04phMsO4NpM/видео.html
Wow! What an awesome blast from the past!! Forgot about this song until finding it here! Brings me back to the fun 80's!! Thanks for the upload!
I have been singing the chorus of this song at work a lot. Makes some guys laugh. Love seeing Sass Jordan and Matrine St.-Claire together. It's like a fantasy.
Never knew Sass Jordan is a support singer in this video!
What an awesome song ( one of many) by a great CANADIAN band! Hard not to move and sing along to! Another example why the 80s were unbeatable musically!
great song
🎉🎉🎉 GREAT VIDEO CLIP! LES PAROLES SONT FANTASTIQUESTHE BOX FOREVER! LEGENDS! FAN DE MONTREAL.
Ahhhh...1987 at CFB St Jean as a young 2Lt...This song brings back the memories.
Love this song!! 😄
Me too!!
Saw them last week they still have it
Yes I agree used to see them at the misty moon or palace in Halifax they got to know my crew great guys
The best epitome of an 80's music video!
Just saw the BOX at a free outdoor concert at CFB Trenton tonight! Talk about a flashback to the 80's! They sounded great ! Bonne Fete de la St. Jean !!
And it was at this moment in time that I fell in love with Sass Jordan! :)
Heard this at the LCBO today. Stuck in my head since lol. What a tune!
LOVE this song.
Doesn't this song make you want to give an air hug??
Always loved the vocals
Cool video filmed in Dominican Republic...we were there on holidays and saw them filming.The fort scenes are Puerto Plata and street shots are in Sosua...those kids were so excited to be in a music video!Sass Jordan on backup vocals went on to become Canada's greatest female rock singer....Sass rocks!
Great 80's-feeling tune! :)
Very underrated French Canadian band. I saw them twice in concert. GREAT!
Great tunes from Canada!!! Love this song and all of them!!!Good times!!Wish I had a time machine!!Lol!
WOW this takes me way back! Thanks for posting this tune!
At my company it is mandatory to sing all you want when great tune comes on the radio. But you better know the words that you sing 🎤
Saw them live in Toronto in 2015 ... great band! Big fan since the 1980s.
always loved the opening to this song.
I could listen to the chorus in a loop for tge rest of my life, and NEVER get tired of it.
Such a great song.
A positive song for all to enjoy
See them at Classic Bowl in Mississauga August 11th 2024 !!!
The Box is it!!! Sass too!
Excellent song. And a very wise decision to start with the chorus.
Another song that brings us closer together 👍💪
An amazing Canadian band. One of the best bands of the 80's...saw them in concert in a small venue in Cambridge Ontario in 86....fantastic show...Sass Jordon was singing back up for them then too!
