Everything by The Fixx is perfect 80s ear candy! Check out "One Thing Leads to Another", "Red Skies At Night" and "Secret Separation" for more of their awesomeness! ✌🎶😎
... and "Deeper and Deeper." That one was pretty damned cool, too. =)
@@jamesanthony8438 Yes it is! Love that one too!
The Fixx - Precious Stone is pretty good.
Ear candy is the perfect term for this.
Very Well Said! 😃❤️👍
The Fixx is an very Underappreciated Underarated Band. Try Stand or Fall, or One Thing Leads to Another
Red Skies..... best song ever.
The Fixx was definitely one of those groups that had that defining 80's sound. Their songs "One Thing Leads To Another" and "Red Skies At Night" are great if you want to come back to them.
Red Skies at Night is the JAM.
um, one beer leads to another is they way we always sung that song.
One of the best songs of the 80's. Stand or fall and Red skies are another great songs to hit by the fixx.
"New Wave" comes in different flavors: SynthPop, Post Punk, Rock, Ska, Blue-eyed Soul and even a little Reggae. This type of music was not played in "Pop" radio stations. "New Wave" was playing in "Alternative or Underwound" stations. Here in Los Angeles, KROQ 106.7 is where we listen to all this great music back in the day. The only reason that these amazing "New Wave" bands event got radio play, later in time, was due to MTV showing their videos. In Europe, "New Wave" is known as "New Romantic".
1st time i heard this was in san diego! they dont play this in nyc
This is the epitome of 80’s new wave. I absolutely love it. Check “Our We Ourselves” “Stand or Fall”
"Are We Ourselves"
An almost-forgotten band, which is pretty much a crime. "Red Skies at Night" and "Deeper and Deeper" are my favorites.
Reach The Beach is filled with great compositions. Saw this first tour in support of the album. Surprisingly true to their recorded material. A memorable group from the New Wave Era. Plenty of great music from this genre.
From what I’ve read the song is about them getting their first payday for the band. They were struggling and the check had a couple more zeros in it than they were expecting and it basically saved their asses.
that would have been a good story but not true. Its about meeting the dali laima. ruclips.net/video/VWT0BAWJLJo/видео.html&ab_channel=ProfessorofRock
Cool that you reacted to The Fixx.. an extremely talented band with deep intellectual lyrics, sonically layered textured sounds, with yes, kind of hypnotic and smooth rhythms with the new wave beats. Anyway, they were very popular for a few years, and have a lot of great songs.. "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies at Night".. are excellent.
These 80s ' New Wave' Songs were introduced to us by the 'new' videos played on MTV on our televisions. If they were in popular rotation there then radio would chart them for play. The only other way we could listen to this new music was to go out to buy the record or cassette to play in our home and/ or our cars. Typical stoners did not care to ' chill' to new wave music back then. It was too new and disruptive to their ' chill vibe' Your ' I Don't know' tune at the end of your reactions really says it all about you guys lol
This is a Great Band. Totally 80's new wave. I was introduced by this band from my best friend in High School. He didn't play this song wasn't out yet but another one of there songs called Red Skies at night. You will enjoy it guaranteed
A criminally under rated band!
I love The Fixx! Try my favorite song by them, One Thing Leads To Another! The New Wave music fit right into the second British Invasion! We danced to New Wave so it was not all just chill music! You had to be there!😂. The eighties were so much fun! We had so much variety in our music…I miss it! ❤️❤️
The Fixx definitely had that New Wave sound. They were also a band that addressed a lot of our latent fears of nuclear annihilation. Gen X had a lot of that, underlying our "party" culture. Current generations never had to deal with this, not like we did. It explains a lot..
New wave was a departure from the traditional rock sound. Some thing not heard before. I was a teenager in the 80’s and this was part of a great soundtrack ! ❤️
One thing leads to another, great Fixx song
These guys are still around! They have a cult following, so never sell them short. Amazing live band to this day.
Kinda like how ABBA is still rockin it. Now with their own avatars. The Fixx was so good, so 80's. Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Bee Gees to name a few, just such great music, miss it!
Your ideas about "chill" and drugs are way off. We first heard the Fixx and rocked to it! Intelligent, atmospheric and rockin'funky.
That's what I was thinking. I guess different people hear things differently.
I concur. They really don't understand. In the 80s, Hair Metal was all about sex and alcohol/drugs, Pop (i.e., Michael Jackson, Madonna, Billy Ocean, etc., etc., etc.) generally had no deep meaning to their songs. Alternative music (including all of the sub-genres that included Modern and New Wave) tended to have deep, thought provoking ideas behind them (not always, but in general).
@@jaynagerber7474 I mean, that's pretty much it. Humans with a need for more stimulation in the intelligence/emotion department will tend to like a broad spectrum of music, because most music genres embody just that. Pop and it's affiliates are just a couple of handfuls of genres. Think the history of the whole world. That's a lot of music to catch up on. When growing up in the 70s/80s young people had a wealth of choice. Things were plasticky and hollow from 1983-1987 inclusive. During that time, we didn't have much new stuff to satisfy us. But underground music was cool, if you knew the right people. I honestly like Rock, Jazz, Fusion, Prog, Metal, Hardcore, Western Classical, Alternative Dance, Ethnic Folk, Reggae and all the stuff spawning from Reggae, punk and most of the Black stuff and it just goes on and on. But I won't, because I know you get it. The proportion of listening time will depend on how much of that genre I like (not much for metal, considering the volume of stuff, I'm more proto/classic/thrash/skater, y'know, stuff with soul and a groove), or the mood I'm in during whatever cycle of life I'm going through. Bout sums it up, eh? Man, it really is Sunday morning, isn't it? Don't drink coffee and respond to comments.
New wave wasn't about smoking herb and chilling. New wave was about non-conformity, pushing the envelope, being unique and often they'd try to put deep lyrics behind the songs. This song's mv was played a lot on MTV
Psychedelic furs-another new wave band-Love My Way has a similar vibe-but the Fixx's One thing Leads to Another to me is their best.
FYI-New Wave music just means another wave of British or European bands dominating the charts-it just happened to be the 80s instead of the 60s and most were synth bands.also most of the popularity of these bands were due to them being on MTV-in some cases their videos were more popular than the songs themselves. Ironically a lot of these bands like the Fixx are a bit faceless as not many people could tell you who were in these bands or what they looked like unless you stood out like Mike Score-lead singer for A Flock Of Seagulls or Colin Hay lead singer of Men At Work.
Love the Furs The Ghost in You
The Fixx. Kind of a funky new wave group. Nice. No, we danced to this back then lol Chillin and dancing.
80's New wave embodied a lot of feelings of isolation and romantic longing. Gen X felt it had been abandoned by the "Me" generation of Boomers, and they had to find their own way. Would the computer age bring us together or isolate us? With the atomic clock at 5 min. to midnight, is there any hope or point in finding love before the clock strikes zero and we are all disintegrated? Will we be saved by zero? The music is hopeful, but the lyrics are melancholy.
Yep, you had to be there. It's hard to listen to the song in a vacuum 40 years later.
Nailed it. Especially that last sentence
New wave was an offshoot of punk. More mellow and melodic. Later went into alternative. The fixx was always interesting and cool. " One thing leads to another" is my favorite. A little less chilled.
this music takes me back to easier days, The Fixx was great in the 80s. other great bands during this time, The CHURCH" , "THOMPSON TWINS" , "TIL TUESDAY" , ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN" , 'THE SMITHS" , "SUZANNE VEGA" , "OMD' orchestral maneuvers in the dark , "NEW ORDER" to name a few
You guys should react to…
The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another
🎸🤘
not my favorite by them I like red skies or stand or fall better.
It was a bigger hit but Saved by Zero was a better song. It was my favorite by the band. The official video was really cool. The should have used the official video, not this lyric one.
It's hard to find a bad song by The Fixx. Great band. I actually saw them in concert about 15 years ago, and they sounded perfect.
One Thing Leads to Another is a great song from The Fixx.🔥🎧
This type of music really gave birth to AM Talk radio, as droves of people abandoned the FM dial in their cars.
The early 2000's did that to me for a while, then I decided to just stick to the Rock station after a while.
I believe the lead singer, Cy Curnin, became a high fashion hat designer. Multitalented fellow
He speaks very fluent French too!!
Love this band. They always seemed to be overlooked as a great band in the eighties. Some of my favorite songs by them are
- Stand or Fall
- Red Skies
- Lost Planes
- The Strain
- Some People
- Secret Separation
- Are We Ourselves
- The Sign of Fire
- One Thing Leads to Another
"Saved By Zero" has an outer-spacey vibe to it.
"One Thing Leads To Another" is The Fixx's biggest hit and signature song. Also check out "Are We Ourselves?," which is short and to the point.
"Red Skies" is another good one of theirs, but listen to the original 1983 version, NOT the re-recorded 1987 version, which the band themselves didn't even like, but the record label forced them to do.
This is from last years 1st new wave stream (Around Jan/Feb 2022) . Its Coverzero's song! lol
Don't overthink new wave songs, mostly made for dancing. No drugs needed.
The Fixx are in my opinion the best producers of Nighttime Music.
New Wave music place heavy emphasis on synthesizers, often with all the music even drums being synthetic or electronic. Guitars were buried in the mix. The songs were short and often described as bouncy of rubbery. There was also a high emphasis on fashion and looks.
Most underrated 80’s band, I loooove The Fix.
I can't believe this was chosen over "One thing leads to another" which was their biggest hit. New Wave was really more or less considered synth pop music.
This is a good song, I remember listening to this one on repeat!
"New wave" was a very broad spectrum term. Much of it was just garage band stuff with guitars and drums, and no "synth", like The Alarm, Elvis Costello, The Replacements, The Knack, Blondie.
@@marcmarc1967 "Synth pop" was understood to be distinct from "New Wave" initially (in fact, punk and New Wave bands were initially regarded as cut from the same cloth). But in later decades anything with an "80's sound" that wasn't hair metal was called "synth pop", regardless of whether a synth was the dominant instrument or not.
As one who was a young adult back then, I think 'New Wave" just meant "it doesn't sound like 60s or 70s music". It didn't seem to have a specific meaning . The pot heads (as they were then called} were not into new wave. They were the ones still listening to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin years after their heyday.
Stand or Fall and One thing leads to another!! Also great Fixx songs as well!! It’s 80’s definitely!! Introduced to me by MTV!! Great videos to there songs!
This is very old! Song was about meditation. The Fixx was more chill and slower compared to most other new wave groups. Kinda like STP and Pearl Jam is chill slower band for grunge rock.
In '90s hip hop , you have chill slower rappers like Pharcyde, De La Soul compared to others.
I saw this band when they opened for The Police back in 83 would also highly recommend Red Skies and One thing leads to another by these guys
I saw that tour. Those were the days......
Great song
@@maxbrazil3712 Except for Flock of Seagulls they sucked live
They also opened for The Moody Blues in Portland, Oregon back in the 80s. They never really hit it as big as I thought they should.
Wife here...The Fixx such a quentissential eighties New Wave sound!! Wore this record out!!..Love Your Insights!!
You 2 always surprise me with stuff you listen to. This stuff from the 80's never gets old. 💞 The Brits brought so much great New Wave music back then, it forced Americans to do it too..
In the 80’s we did a LOT of hanging at the mall, skating rink, video game rooms, and cruising parking lots. Songs like this were vibes. I remember playing pinball or skating around with friends and just grooving to the music back then. Love the reactions ❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm an 80s Baby, and I don't mean, pop 80s, I mean, I got so lucky to hit the "NEW WAVE" movement . This is one of the greatest LP"S. I still own it on vinyl. The original version I bought back when I was 15.
Brad got the 80's! Finally. Things were cool, laid back and kind of dreamy. The music reflected that vibe.
One of my favorite bands in the 80's. This was for me classic driving music...try some more you will be a fan.
Class of 85! Didn't do no drugs just listened to great music!
Just something about The Fixx they are totally mesmerizing. I’ve loved them my whole life.
You have to remember that in this time frame, all of these songs had videos that went with them, played non-stop on MTV - and everyone watched! You heard all of these songs at the clubs, but you already knew them well from MTV that played constantly in everyone's living rooms...
These guys were the first concert I went to, way back in 1984. They still tour their butts off in the US at small venues.
Ah the 80s. Drive out to the beach firing one up along the way. Drive all the way down to the far end of the beach where nobody would be around to bother ya. Throw your beach towel, boombox and cooler on the sand. Hit the ocean and surf the waves until you're wore out. Get out of the water and crash on your beach towel. The boom box has double cassette so you can load two 120 minute cassettes. Now you have a cooler of alcohol and 4 hours of this type of music to listen to when you lay back on your beach towel and put an acid tab on your tongue.
Yeah the world was a lot simpler back then........
New Wave isn't Chill music, it's a label given to the Broad range of new pop sounds that came out in the late 70's to the early 80's from the UK and the USA. Disco was dead (or they thought it was) and the Power Rock scene was played out. This new sound (punk, synthpop, Ska, etc.) came onto the music scene and brought a much different danceable beat to the radio.
This is the way
The introduction of cheaper electronic keyboards resulted in most of the bands focusing on that sound, and less on the guitar based sound of the 70s. When I think of the 80s I think 'synthesizer decade'.
Synth does not mean lesser or 'bad'. It was just mainly British groups pushing the envelope and experimenting coming up with amazing stuff and or in some cases combining guitar and synth. The results were historic and amazing. No Americans groups were achieving this effect.
Oh guys you went there. Loved this band and sound.80s bring it back. Love from Canada.Keep it coming
"Red skies at night" and "One thing leads to another" are great as well
I still listen to this song today. Child of the 80’s. Bought this cassette when it came out.
One of my favorites from my teens. A great tune to drive to, particularly on the highway at night.
Lots of good songs by The Fixx. Try out "Deeper and Deeper" (long version). Great song!
“One Thing Leads To Another” should have been their first listen to the band.
my wheel house! the fixx ruled! the 80s new wave! cy curnin has a voice for the ages!
I love Stand or Fall. I remember a rainy day at a laundry mat helping a girl and hearing this song on the speakers. It was new but I had heard it before. They were one of my favorite bands. They had Red Skies, One Thing Leads to Another, Are we ourselves, Deeper & Deeper, Secret Separation, Built for the Future, Driven Out
Are We Ourselves is my absolute favorite Fixx song. Perfect representation of that 80s sound.
The Fixx, was my favorite group, that came out at that time. Stand or Fall, was my favorite song by them. Some of their music, had prophetic meanings to them.
I saw Lex perk up during the guitar solo. If you like that solo, check out their song "Outside". It's a total vibe and has amazing guitar work on it. Not one of their popular songs, but a great piece of work by them.
You can't beat 80's music! Class of 85. What a great time to be alive! 😎
"BOOOOAH!!! 😯, I saw that video for the (First) time in 1983 when I was (10) on (MTV) when "IT" aided...."WHAT CHU KNOW BOUT THAT!?" (LOL) 😂🤣🤣🤣
Brad & Lex, this is the kind of jam you put in your cassette player to pump you up on the drive home after your girl breaks up with you. 1985 I was there.
Wow my 1st Fixx reaction. Great song by an underrated band
These guys played just before The Police at Day on the Green along with Madness, Oingo Boingo and The Thompson Twins (Oakland Coliseum Stadium, 9-10-83). Only time I ever saw all of those bands.
The Fixx, was one of my favorite new groups, that come out at that time. Stand or Fall, was my favorite song by them. Some of their music, had prophetic meanings to them.
One of my favorite bands. I still see them once a year or so, and they're great in concert. My definition of New Wave is the music that mainly came from the UK and Australia that was post-punk and post-disco and incorporated a lot more synth elements than before, while the guitar was not as dominant. In terms of feel it's a pretty wide spectrum. ETA: Oh, and there was a whole lot of saxophone, for some reason.
Whenever I hear this, "Real Genius" flashes through my mind.
Italians have a phrase "Start from zero." The idea is learning something new. You start from scratch. Maybe that helps.
An iconic 80's tune. I still have the vinyl LP in my record library. The band didn't allow their music online for several years.
Your bringing up some old songs I grew up listening to & bring back Great Memories!!!
LOVE THIS SONG!!! 🎵 🎶
The poetry of the lead singer, Cy...very deep. Multiple levels of stuff that makes you think.
One reason I listen to you guys so much is that you play SO many songs that I have liked in my life! Thanks for doing your thing!
I saw them in 1983 with Flock of Seagulls. It was an amazing concert. During that time we had Ozzy, Iron Maiden touring almost yearly and also Loverboy, Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Motley Crue, The Scorpions, you name it, we got to see it all. Thanks for the great reaction videos 👍💯😎🔥🔥🔥🎸❤
Definitely One Things Leads To Another. It is very different from this song, uptempo.
When The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits and other British bands came to America in the 1960s, that was called The British Invasion. When all of these new British bands started coming to America in the 1980s, that was called New Wave, as in the new wave of a British invasion.
I was a New Waver, I did chill to this on many deep trances.
Are We Ourselves? is a good song by The Fixx. The song that came as the flip side of the 45 record, Deeper & Deeper, is also good.
New Wave music: Not stoned, but Beautiful.
Not all 80s music was New Wave. New Wave was mostly synth-pop from the early 80s (and some late late 70s) which relied heavily on the synthesizer keyboards and synthetic drums. This song has some synth elements, but there are definitely live instruments involved here.
Your so right Lex,..yes there were songs, soft, pretty, but, there were songs with softer beat that were still dance grooves, case in point, Love My Way, by Psychedelic Furs (yes that's there name,.I know, and not only that,..you couldn't ever mistake their sound for someone else's), they were featured on Pretty in Pink soundtrack, same title song,..Love My Way was soft, and melodic,,and always played on dance floors, in clubs,..do check it out,..and yes a part of New Wave,.but so was Hands To Heaven by Breathe,..I think the most beautiful "New Wave" song of that era,..you just can't deny its beauty,..so is True, Spandau Ballet,.soft, but still New Wave,..I guess New Wave was also the introduction to more use of electronic instruments,..there was also a bit of a step back into the past, with horns and string instruments being used more, that kinda hold over from the 70's,..but look at UB40, reggae, but also an almost big band sound too, hearken to the days of Benny Goodman,..the 80's were another decade of innovation,..new instruments, instrumentation, and old instruments being used in different new compositions,.when I first heard UB40,..it felt like I wasn't listening to a new group, and in the video, you can see how young, and the videos are in this filtered kinda black and white, it's a trip,..and back then,..newly born MTV,..you know it was like stepping back in the past, but english bands were still in the past anyway, if you went over there, you'd still be hearing Sam Cooke, Etta James, on radio and on jukeboxes in pubs,..do keep going young people ,Godspeed, Peace ✌
What was great about this band is that the guitarist has almost a 70's funk vibe to his playing though the band overall was more of a dark, electronic type band. This album (REACH THE BEACH) was a great release to me. Though they never attained as much success on the following releases, they always had at least a couple strong tracks on each release. Check out the song DRIVEN OUT which about the environment before people were really making it a social issue.
Great new wave band from my teen years.
The Fixx "Are We Ourselves?" & "Beautiful Friction"
Oh how AWESOME... GREAT Classic Unique Song.... Great memories.... I need my Parachute Pants ......
There's an interesting interview with Cy Curnin in which he explains the true inspiration and meaning behind the song. It was a reaction to him attending a speech by the Dalai Lama. "Saved by Zero" is a reference to clearing the mind and reaching that zero point of peace and tranquility. But Cy also mentioned that lots of people can interpret it lots of ways, which is great.
I love the FIXX during the 80s
Thomas Dolby "She Blinded Me With Science"
I don't see new wave as chill. It was just about a new sound for a new decade bringing with it new memories for those who listened and nostalgia for those who grew up with this music at that specific age group who were influenced by it. At the same time you had the heavy metal/ hair bands. Usually kids were partial to one or the other.
The meaning of the song is to throw off all the pressures of life and thus be saved by zero (pressures).
and then it gets used in a car commercial for 0 financing 🤯
"New Wave" refers to the new wave of British/European arts releasing popular music in North America.
The first wave was in the 60's.
(The Beatles, Rolling Stones..ect)
The second wave called "The New Wave" was taken on as a genre to encompass bands with the "sound" of the newer style of music.
That's what I remember anyway.
Blondie, Talking Heads, Devo, Suicide etc. were labeled as New Wave before any of those British/European artists.
@@spentvisionvideo2677 Oh,
A bunch of bands that were influenced by Bowie, Roxy Music, Kraftwork....ect
Ok, thanks for your help.
I must have remembered wrong.
It's about giving up everything, and going for it.
AMAZING GROUP!! One of my Favorite New Wave Groups! ❤️👍😃🔥💯
One other thing you may notice is that the keyboard is very prominent in new wave music.
New wave introduced us to electric drums and loads of synth sounds. To me that’s what new wave was basically about. The Cars, The Fixx. two of my favorites! Check out “Words” or “Destination Unknown” both by the Missing Persons. great example of new wave in my humble opinion. I really like your channel!
Electric drums started in Disco.
@@teknikel A Lot of "New Wave" bands had good guitarists and bassists, but stereotypically the prominence of Synths and electronic drums ended up overshadowing the traditional rock elements that some of the bands had.
