Same here 🇩🇪 I don't know why, but radio is always playing the same 😴 mainstream 80ties stuff, lots of songs I can't hear anymore. I can't listen to radio anymore. 🤷♀️ The 80ties sound has been so big and different. The new generation can't imagine, even can't get a feeling, how unbelievable the 80ties has been. Even at RUclips I can't find every precious 80ties song that I'm searching for.
Unfortunate It’s the Same where I Live In Sunbury Pennsylvania. I never hear my favorite 70s 80s 90s on public radio. Like Jimi Jamison I’m Always Here, Roland Kaiser Joana, Feargal Sharkey Hits. I found out about This song from GTA Vice City stories 2006 video game.
Great Song not too long after the Sad Break up of Yazoo...I was 16 and still remember being totally blown away by how Fergal Voice sounded like Allison M.
Wow you are right very similar. Though I think this is way more complex than yazoo. But the voice, yes. Though hmmmm. It's just a trash pop song but the people playing make it fricking awesome.
Heck, I thought this song was mostly synthesized, was quite surprised to find out such sound was made by mostly the acoustic instruments. Thanks for the vid! It's awesome.
You might be surprised in the same way by many of the sounds Depeche Mode used during this approximate time period. A lot of synth/electronic artists were at least partially moving away from subtractive analog synthesis and toward using samplers at the time, and many of the sounds that came with those "synths" were sampled from acoustic instruments. Additionally, the artists themselves did their own sampling, of course, which included a lot of walking around and banging on junk, recording "found sounds" from various environments, and sampling "unusual" (i.e. not known to many in the west, or at least not often heard by most people) acoustic instruments. Then they'd apply some effects on those sounds to sort of disguise them and/or layer them with other samples; or sometimes they just used the sounds as is. For example, Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts" includes, among other sounds, samples of the marimba (like a big xylophone with a mellower tone), the shawm (an early form of oboe with a brassy quality), and the melodica (like a recorder but with piano keys, usually purchased for children to play). In fact, when this song and others that used similar sounds were played live on TV for promotion, the band actually brought the real instruments onstage to pretend to play (because TV was usually not live back then, even the singing). I don't know about the marimba, but it was probably rented, while the shawm and the melodica were owned by the band, and Martin even played his melodica live during concerts (as seen in many videos, including _101_ ). There are many other examples. Of course, everything always goes in cycles, and many artists went back to using mostly analog synths, including Depeche Mode and especially Vince.
@@lastfirst5689 But the original version likewise had many/mostly acoustic instrument sounds. They were sampled and sequenced, but the sounds were originally acoustic. And the non-acoustic sounds are the same between the two versions. The performance in this video had live vocals, but the backing track was definitely on tape, not played live, because the sounds were apparently coming out of the wrong instruments at times.
I know just what to say It's just a game I play Now I'm here on my own I'd like to be with you I guess you always knew Still I'm all alone I know the story Got it all worked out It never happens to me, it never happens to me (Maybe that's the way my life was meant to be) It never happens to me, it never happens to me (Love is just the door that's locked and there's no key) It never happens to me
IT UPSETS ME WHEN I SEE MILITRY VETRANS HAVING TO SELL THEIR MEDALS JUST SO THEY CAN GET BY IN LIFE...EVEN THO IM AN INDIVIDUAL AS IM TOLD THATS A DISGUSTING LOW LIFE.
Do you mean the instruments? Those are some strange instruments being played (mimed) by Vince Clarke and Eric Radcliffe, alright. I'm pretty sure that Vince was playing an autoharp, which is like a zither with a keyboard. I'm not so sure about what Eric was playing, but it looks like some kind of stick dulcimer. It's funny how he's manipulating the strings while tapping the dulcimer for some percussion. I doubt he is a musician in the traditional sense. 😄
@@AndrewHillis_2024 You're probably right. Just like me to pay more attention to instruments than to people. 😄 This phenomenon you mentioned is very common to videos like this. Who are those people?!

Absolutely adore this song, rarely hear it these days, even on 80s stations. Wish Feargal Sharkey still performed; his voice is spine-tingling.
Same here 🇩🇪

Agree but Associates were played on my local station the other day so don't give up.
Or as Ned Flanders would say 'Spine tingly dingling'.
2023 and still claiming: VINCE CLARKE FOREVER UNDERRATED, FOREVER A GENIUS
What a classic. Still love listening to it
Indeed
2024 listening to masterpiece.
Absolutely brilliant performance.
Not like todays crap.😢😢
such an underrated classic synth-pop song and so underplayed classic talented 80s pop music that has been lost today! in 2022! diverse crap today!
Masterpiece by Vince Clark.
Vince Clarke
ABSOLUTELY AGREE. :)
What a wonderful song. Sums up the 80s
Great Song not too long after the Sad Break up of Yazoo...I was 16 and still remember being totally blown away by how Fergal Voice sounded like Allison M.

First time seeing this performance, just amazing. Thank you .

This is mimed, apart from the lead vocals. ;)
@@soepil lol, thx
@@soepil You're wrong. This is an accoustic version with different instruments you've never seen before, obviously

I bow respect for a quality post and memory
The longer I live, the truer the song
Fergal never stops amazing with his voice and more recently his love for chalk streams and nature.
Einfach Klasse. Hätte mehr kommen können. Schade. 😪
Vince Clarke, the man with the Midas touch.
I love this song ❤
fantastic, the best version of this wonderfull song!
First time I’ve heard this version. Wow
Vincent Clark,Eric Radcliffe and featuring Fergal Sharkey Vocals.
So sad 😞 after the Breaks of Yazoo and The Undertones😪
I’m glad GTA Vice City stories introduced me to this song
I know just what to say
It's just a game I play
Now I'm here on my own
I'd like to be with you
I guess you always knew
Still I'm all alone
I know the story
Got it all worked out
It never happens to me, it never happens to me
(Maybe that's the way my life was meant to be)
It never happens to me, it never happens to me
(Love is just the door that's locked and there's no key)
It never happens to me
I’m such a nerd because I lost my mind when I saw them playing that synthesizer thing. 😍. So cool!
Brilliant.
La canción es una maravilla
Nunca los vi actuando
Merecían más continuidad como grupo
Such a shame they didn't release any more Song's.
Vincent Clark had previously left Depeche Mode to form Yazoo with Alison Moyete.
Then The Assembly.
Well, I think Erasure has been a pretty good consolation prize. 😊
Einfach Super der Song.
Erinnerungen kommen hoch.
If you want to know what the word Sombre truly means ... watch this awesome amazing performance !
Musica linda me remete grandes recordacoes de meu passado
Wow! Love it
Supergroup and "One-Hit-Wonder"
Brilliant song, does anyone know who the fourth person on this performance was
Vocals Feargal Sharkey
What a trip
👍

Du er smuk..
Everyone wondering just what the fuck they're playing

@@rbrtckI think Ray was referring to the audience, it's like they don't know what to make of this song???🤔🤔🤔

Bot clear what you mean by not being a musician in the traditional sense? Can you explain please?
