@@angelagak399 Me too so many amazing bands back then not much to make us proud these days hey? Next pm MUST be Pierre, lets do this. YEAH I LOVE The Box!
Their primary Songwriter and Lead Singer Jean Marc is a GENIUS, who received some international recognition, but NOT Enough. They were Political, and artists that may "Cross certain Lines" were often IGNORED by the Programmers, it seems. THE BOX were very Friendly and Passionate about their Musical Journey and I'd be Surprised if they Do Not RESURFACE AND TOUR Again... Their Cult-Like Fans are EXTREMELY Caring and Supportive; Myself Included. LOVE their Work and Concerts... TRULY! ❤ 😂 PS Hope they're Still As PASSIONATE as THIS Fan too!!! 😅
‘I can feel your presence everywhere’, ‘The beauty of the land speaks for me’… Wow! Deep words frozen in time!!! Thank you The Box! Love from Calgary, AB ❤
Their Videos and Songwriting stirred up certain forces perhaps? Do recall that they have songs that Question War and the murder of a Family... HAUNTING to some, Yes? #80s #80sRock #deserving #cdn
I've been looking for this song for a few decades and went through countless "na na na " song lists. I was way off on the lyrics, and the nationality. I thought they might be Scottish, but was pleasantly surprised that they are from Quebec.
It was 1992. My roommate was a dj at a local pub in Las Vegas. His brother was a bigtime radio jock back then, and he would give him the demos of bands that he didn't play on air. My roomy would play songs off of The Pleasure and the Pain at the bar on Friday nights. He eventually gave me the cd and I would listen to it front to back many times. There's not a bad song it. That's rare for any band. Years later I gave it to my 20yo son who loved it. I still have a copy of it on my hard drive. I could never find a follow up album. I thought they disbanded.
@@billrea66 Men at Work from Australia were better known than Men Without Hats. I figure The Box should be at least as well known as the Australian band. That's how badly The Box were robbed.
I love this band. They should have gone far it's a crime they did not. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in the day as the opening act for what was at the time a really big name band. The Box blew them out of the water, so much so that the headliners were booed off the stage. My favorite 80's band, period. Thanks for the upload.
Anyone, especially Canadians, who never experienced The Box live don't know what they're missing. The Box are a a Canadian gem. Ever heard "Safety Dance" ? Well that is really The Box...as a member of that band is related! All good.
"Good bye mon ami I will very much miss your love". A made in Quebec moment. I got my 14 year old humming the melody.... Beautiful landscape of sound not to mention the unique voice of Jean-Marc. As a musician in the Montreal mid-80's scene I add total respect for The Box and their music. Luv you guys.
My fav by them, it is played no less than 4xs a week, and I ALWAYS turn it up really loud at the beginning for the drum intro. The entire song is pure nostalgia to me.
Oh nostalgia!!! Great Canadian band and I love the frozen images of the musicians... Frozen in time when music was awesome! Thank you guys for bringing me back to 1988 😉
The Box is great, brings back good memories. Any of you 70’s-80’s Quebecois remember a band called De Kloxx? They had a song played on CKGM called “Lucie Lucie”. Even though it was sung in French it was my favorite song as a nine year old. Would love to hear it again.
Ahh... Memories of Tim Hortons' overnights, waiting on the local radio station to play this song on the All-Night Dance Party. This is my favourite Box song.
omg. cuts right through. this band was equally adored by my mum and brother and i.... truly one of my favourite nostalgia bands. I feel 9 years old right now
Crying Out Loud for Love The Box There s a long road by the coast There s an old tree standing tall There s a strayed house in the field And the tall weeds in the wind Feel, feel the wind again Make it your own, empty your soul Can t you see that you don t have to say Not even a word to get through to me? I see all around All the majesty of those simple things I know I felt for you I can feel your presence everywhere Oh feel, feel the wind again Make it your own, empty your soul Can t you see that you don t have to say Not even a word to get through to me? (CHORUS) Cause I m crying out loud for love (For love) And there s a hundred different ways of crying out loud Oh, I m crying out loud for love (For love) And the beauty of the land speaks for me Speaks for me Goodbye, mon ami I will very much miss your love And the cold colors of the land When the sun has yet to die again Oh feel, feel the wind again Make it your own, empty your soul Can t you see that you don t have to say Not even a word to get through to me? (CHORUS) Cause I m crying out loud for love (For love) And there s a hundred different ways of crying out loud Oh, I m crying out loud for love (For love) And the beauty of the land speaks for me Whoa, I m crying out loud for love (For love) And there s a hundred different ways of crying out loud Oh, I m crying out loud for love (For love) And the beauty of the land speaks for me Speaks for me Speaks for me Speaks for me
I grew up on the farm with my grandparents a lifetime ago,all grandpa ever did was to try and keep me on the farm ,all I wanted to do was get away,I remember watching this video on video hits with samantha after school,every time I hear this song it takes me back,my grandparents have long gone as well as the farm most of my aunt's and uncles as well,I should have listened and stayed.
You did what you had to do. Also for sure deep down inside, your family knew it too and that it's a normal and expected factor to occur. You have your life to live too. God bless
I was a fan then, and now, I owned that greatest hit cd and wore it out. They were a great 80's-90's band. I would love to see these guys in my hometowns annual retro concert.
I'm guessing that someone watched that movie ( which was very popular and even won an academy award that year ) and when writing this song 4-5 years later it just seemed vaguely familiar. The first four bars are exactly the same, even the space placed between the notes for the rest. That's a little more than coincidental. It's identical all except for the tempo. On paper, note-wise it's the same song. I watched the movie in the 90's and the theme song seemed familiar to me and then I found myself singing the words to this song which I'd heard years earlier.

I'm a viewer from Grand Rapids, MI.& I'm developing a like for Canadian music..!!!
Glad you like our music, this is another great song from them
The Box - L'Affaire Dumoutier (Say To Me)
Love these guys.
This dark haired beauty haunts me to this day…❤
Dude same, who IS she? I just met Jean-Marc and that’s all I wanted to ask him but didn’t get the chance!
The Box are one of the most underated bands.
They're absolutely brilliant!
I was just thinking the exact same thing and was about to comment so. Lol. SO underrated, omg. Makes me proud to be Canadian, eh! 😄😉

One of the best local bands in Quebec, and in Canada. Highly under-rated.
D Thomas I totally agree
D Thomas yea ,, I agree with you ,,,
When i first heard them i thought BS!..Canadian?...Quebec?...WTF! Can't be! NO-WAY.One of my favs now.Great talent!
John Martin
The Ville-Marie highway AND the Jacques-Cartier bridge almost empty of vehicles? Yes kids, the 1980s were different times.
One of the best 80s tracks. Period. Along with l'Affaire Dumoutier.
80s music at its finest, it was a very simple melody..... my heart needed this.
We all need it. 📀🎸👍
‘I can feel your presence everywhere’, ‘The beauty of the land speaks for me’… Wow! Deep words frozen in time!!! Thank you The Box! Love from Calgary, AB ❤
The Box were truly a unique Canadain band. Their songs were straight from the heart and had a genuine qualitynot heard anymore in today's music
Today's artists show off too much.
Thats why they aren't liked today. They have HEART,QUALITY AND SOUL
Their Videos and Songwriting stirred up certain forces perhaps?
Do recall that they have songs that Question War and the murder of a Family...
HAUNTING to some, Yes?

I miss my home, Montreal and Quebec.
Best drivin' down the road song, ever.
LORD, I miss this band on the radio.
I feel a wistful sadness viewing this in 2022. So many years gone by.
I never tire of playing this song. Still as lovely as it was back then.
mara1428 👌
Really good Canadian ditty
We loved the Box.......all over Canada....serving in the Armed Forces.....back then..great times...!
Great band. Engaging people as well. still playing. Have seen them 3 times this year and Jean Marc and his mates can still bring it.
Great sound for sure!!

I had forgotten what a good band The Box were. It's a shame they never broke out of Canada, they deserved an international audience.
The Box was robbed. They deserved to be at least as well known as Men at Work.
You mean " Men without hats "? Made their fame in Belgium . Hence Unibroue .
Men At Work were not even that well known lol
If it makes you feel any better, I love them both the same.
@@billrea66 Men at Work from Australia were better known than Men Without Hats. I figure The Box should be at least as well known as the Australian band. That's how badly The Box were robbed.

I've loved this beautiful song since the day I heard it way back in....what 1985?
Such good days! Damn I wanna be young again.......
Merci The Box.
This song really goes deep. I was 13, highway 99. Now, I live over seas, life is complicated, and I cry out loud for love in so many ways
The harmonizing is incredible ❤️
One of The Box’s best songs.....it has a very Running Up That Hill meets Big Love vibe.
Must be that awesome 80’s production. 👍
Anyone, especially Canadians, who never experienced The Box live don't know what they're missing. The Box are a a Canadian gem. Ever heard "Safety Dance" ? Well that is really The Box...as a member of that band is related! All good.
The box one of the 80's best bands there's 80's music and then there's the rest
Forgot that song ever existed...when I pressed play, I knew every single words... Thank for the memories :)

Underrated Canadian classic!
Tenía este tema grabado en un cassette en 1987, pase como 25 años buscándolo, hasta que un veterano que sabía de música lo encontró. Es excelente!
And I’m back for this AGAIN!!!!
again and again... so true
This band should've gotten way more recognition. They put out songs that we could never get enough of. :-)
A band with great music, talented & never known.
Merci Jean-Marc pour tous I love the box
They were as I imagined a French Canadian band would be at that time...and they fit perfectly. Great pop tunes....
My fav by them, it is played no less than 4xs a week, and I ALWAYS turn it up really loud at the beginning for the drum intro. The entire song is pure nostalgia to me.
In the first minute, it shows passing an old homestead, I grew up next door to it, Young's Cove, NB Canada
An exquisite song with such passion in the lyrics. There is a lovely flow to the melodies, and the video matches it perfectly.
Great Music for a Great Group The Box forever
Feel the wind again
make it your own
empty your soul
great band,great songs
Reminds of a girl I couldn't have. Brings back all those feelings. Well it's nice to actually feel something...
She is pretty .
This remains a beautiful song.
The box was ahead of it's time, they would have done much better around today, or even 10 years ago. Truly a great Canadian Band!
CFNY was such a great radio station back then.
Yes, I remember CFNY!! Such unique music they played.
I love this song. A true Canadian classic.
Love this band!
Another Classic song added to my collection. I have been looking for this song for years. I just couldn't remember the band who played it.
One of the bands that makes u proud of Canada's music scene
Beautiful piece of Canada as a backdrop. Ive loved this video since I was a kid. Totally suits the song. 🇨🇦
And the beauty of the lamb speaks for me
Best Canadian Band of The 80’s
Always takes me back to the early 90s and my time on the Island.
I remember this I love this
It was a simple melody ( he says ) A melody that has us all singing LA LA LA LA LA. Great tune !!!!
AWESOME SONG. Mysterious, like life.
Magic
This song is some serious 80s magic.
Finally, found this song!
one of the best bands of its day, and definately underated. I wish they had had more worldwide exposure. Ty
Oh nostalgia!!! Great Canadian band and I love the frozen images of the musicians... Frozen in time when music was awesome! Thank you guys for bringing me back to 1988 😉
Some songs are like a time machine. This song being one of them. Second year of my undergrad. Mid 80s in all its glory.
J'ai 44 ans et toujours les mêmes frison en écoutant the box!!
It's a working day. Walk walk walk away.
This song is amazing. Love it
Cruisin' all night long listening to a cassete with this song.
The Box were unique. Distinctly Canadian, whist as the same time, almost European
The Box is great, brings back good memories. Any of you 70’s-80’s Quebecois remember a band called De Kloxx? They had a song played on CKGM called “Lucie Lucie”. Even though it was sung in French it was my favorite song as a nine year old. Would love to hear it again.

This is my favourite Box song.
this song is absolutely incredible. how I haven't heard about these guys before is beyond me.
Something about their sound that's captivating!
LOVE this so much! Thanks for posting and keeping The Box alive and well!
The beginning just gives me chills!
Best of all
My fav Canadian band. Underrated .
OMG, this brings back so many memories. Both the song and the video.. trips to PEI, taking the ferry across the Straight. I miss those days SO much.
omg. cuts right through.
this band was equally adored by my mum and brother and i.... truly one of my favourite nostalgia bands. I feel 9 years old right now
They are a great Canadian band, wonderful music to party to. I remember for a long time.
I just love this song so much!!
Crying Out Loud for Love
The Box
There s a long road by the coast
There s an old tree standing tall
There s a strayed house in the field
And the tall weeds in the wind
Feel, feel the wind again
Make it your own, empty your soul
Can t you see that you don t have to say
Not even a word to get through to me?
I see all around
All the majesty of those simple things
I know I felt for you
I can feel your presence everywhere
Oh feel, feel the wind again
Make it your own, empty your soul
Can t you see that you don t have to say
Not even a word to get through to me?
(CHORUS)
Cause I m crying out loud for love
(For love)
And there s a hundred different ways of crying out loud
Oh, I m crying out loud for love
(For love)
And the beauty of the land speaks for me
Speaks for me
Goodbye, mon ami
I will very much miss your love
And the cold colors of the land
When the sun has yet to die again
Oh feel, feel the wind again
Make it your own, empty your soul
Can t you see that you don t have to say
Not even a word to get through to me?
(CHORUS)
Cause I m crying out loud for love
(For love)
And there s a hundred different ways of crying out loud
Oh, I m crying out loud for love
(For love)
And the beauty of the land speaks for me
Whoa, I m crying out loud for love
(For love)
And there s a hundred different ways of crying out loud
Oh, I m crying out loud for love
(For love)
And the beauty of the land speaks for me
Speaks for me
Speaks for me
Speaks for me
yeah I love how they kept the interview of him singing the intro.. Classic
great band!
LOL That's awesome!! I miss them on the radio soo much!

Compelling lyrics built on the melody of "L'Enfant" by Vangelis.
I was a fan then, and now, I owned that greatest hit cd and wore it out. They were a great 80's-90's band. I would love to see these guys in my hometowns annual retro concert.
Grandad worked on those Laker Ships in the beginning of this video.Driving over the Champlain Bridge.. through rural Quebec..Thanks guys..!!
I rememebr this song being my favorite when I was about 9 or 10..I still love it..
I love that song.
Goodbye Mon,Ami,I will very much miss your love💔
This Video reminds me of British Columbia Canada . The west Coast Vancouver Island .
Fucking love these guys!
The Box will be playing at the FEQ (Quebec Music Festival) in July 2018. I wish I could get there to see them just 1 more time.
The Grumpy Traveller 4 Août in Sainte-Thérèse
Awesome band...
A Canadian Gem. I can't believe only 9500 people have had the fortune to view this video.
Top notch stuff.
I just realized the simple melody he hums at the beginning has a east coast, Nova Scotia or Newfoundland folk sound to it
Syd Barrett It's actually 'L'enfant' by Vangelis from 'The year of living dangerously'.
Do you know this for a fact? Or just what you think (which may be true, but there's a difference)
If you look closely at the video, you'll see two of the ferries that used to run between PEI and NB!
@@kanealson5200 wow I've never heard that song before, and it's definitely the same melody.

Stai bon en TABARNAK ste band là. J'avais 4 ans quand g entendu ça la première fois.
