    Do we truly understand just how lucky and privileged we were to have grown up during this era in the eighties and were able to have experienced such great music ? Damn it was an amazing time. I go back in my mind as often as possible because this crap they refer to as music today is absolutely horrible !

    This is one of those songs that kept me going for years - the atmosphere it creates speaks to a time of dreams. But I need to stay real, and so much of the last century is too painful to think about. 😢

    I love everybody's comments on this video, because we all feel the same way- desperately desire both the return of the 80's and our youth, miss the great music (and music period) that MTV used to play, crave the artistic merit that was once the norm in music and has since gone endangered. The best acts however, still hail from the UK.

    Do we fully grasp the extent of our fortune and privilege in having grown up during the vibrant era of the 1980s, where we had the opportunity to experience exceptional music? It was an incredible time, and I frequently find myself revisiting those memories, as I find today's music to be truly disappointing and lacking in comparison.

    "Under The Milky Way "
    The Church
    Sometimes when this place gets kinda empty
    The sound of the breath fades with the light
    I think about the loveless fascination
    Under the Milky Way tonight
    Lower the curtain down on Memphis
    Lower the curtain down on me
    I got no time for private consultation
    Under the Milky Way tonight
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    And it's something quite peculiar
    Something shimmering and white
    It leads you here, despite your destination
    Under the Milky Way tonight
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    And it's something quite peculiar
    Something shimmering and white
    Leads you here, despite your destination
    Under the Milky Way tonight
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    Under the Milky Way tonight
    Under the Milky Way tonight

    They don't make bands or songs like this anymore. I miss the 80's so much. Still it makes it more special that only a select few can appreciate the type of words n music that captivate you n take you into a dream-like state. Robert Smith once called it "happy-sad"... the Church is one of those groups that gives us that awesome meloncholy happiness

    this kind of music was when alternative was real. This is so classic and beautiful, this is a lovely song. This song, all the good stuff that Peter Murphy dead, the cold, The Cure, the class, and so many more. A beautiful time when this kind of music was relatively cool and respected.

    • @elcoyotefeo385
      @elcoyotefeo385 8 лет назад +8

      yeah, and it was "alternative" because it wasn't on the radio, except for maybe smaller independent high school or college stations. never heard this kind of shit on mainstream radio until nirvana, pearl jam, etc., made "alternative" a mainstream genre.

      this was all popular in Europe, but the us fell behind for awhile back then, you actually had to "look," for good stuff like this...

      When alternative really mattered. Once you got to around 1992, it all changed.

    1988's "Under the Milky Way" by The Church has two things going for it: Vocals and instrumentation: This is band leader Steve Kilbey's ode to the "The Melkweg," which is Dutch for the "milky way" in reference to an old factory turned into a coffee shop, a bar and a movie theater… The vocals and instrumentation with the guitar strumming is melodic -- soothing but not in a wimpy way if that makes any sense. Another words: It's substantive and gives you a chance to escape into your mind, if even for a verse or two… Certainly it wasn't a smash, peaking at No. 24 on Billboard in the US., but it was the Australian band's biggest hit… It's featured in the movie Donnie Darko, a bizarre movie in its own right and kind of ironic, considering the band is called The Church… Certainly a Big '80s staple in my book...

    I remember sitting on a guard point in the Saudi desert and hearing this song on Radio Dubai...echoed in my brain for a good three days. Actually, this is a good memory...a few weeks later, I was on a guard point in outside Basra watching the Republican Guard swap tracer fire with insurgent Iraqi Army regulars (entirely too damn close)....

      ***** I never thought of that, but you're 100% correct! There was another incident where we were digging foxholes and Garth Brooks' "Friends In Low Places" came on AFR and everybody starting singing along (regardless of race or rank...everybody!) in this low, quiet, collective voice that seemed to carry for miles. I wish I could have *recorded* that one. It was downright metaphyiscal.
      Lastly but not leastly...have a good & safe holiday and "Semper Fi," with respect (from an old Army 'trooper)!

I won't change the channel if it's on... and if it's on-demand, I watch it over, and over. I am calling it. This is my favorite song.

      pagansforbreakfast, no, it's the angsty Grunge kids in the 90s that ruined rock and roll. Even darker bands pre-Grunge like the Cure, Depeche Mode, and the Smiths had this sophistication, elegance and beauty to them. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn and co. pioneered into this mopey, simplistic, dreary new era. There were a few bright spots in the 90s though, like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
