Paul you are epic an legennnnnd and I dont use that word lightly you brought the deep consciousness of the global wars to my attention in 1982 I was just 16 years old in Africa. 6 years later I returned back to the UK and I went to Our Price Records in Islington that was in 1988 and I found the vinyl single of "19". I was hooked and never looked back ever since. Your music has forever touch since then and my travel adventures around the world. I look forward to visiting Vietnam for the 1st time and another trip to Japan determined to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Thanks for uploading.It`s always very interesting to see how certain Songs got done,how the Artists composed them. I can clearly remember when this Song came out,it was the Synth Bass that caught my attention the most,loved it.The other bits on the Song are also awesome btw!. 😊 I can also clearly remember me being very disappointed when it got toppeled from No 1!. 😠🙃But i guess 5 weeks at No.1 isn`t bad!. 😄
1985 Bournemouth beach (UK), loads of people had it blasting out of stereos none stop!! Made my day as I loved the track, plus I had the Destruction mix LP at home. 😎👍
I remember buying all the versions, including the German one. As far as I remember the song was 13 weeks number 1 in Germany. I was 19 back then and joined the Army shortly after.
I recall CBS doing a report on the song 19.Sime vets were interviewed. I also a report on returning vets from that war.I was a child back then.The odd thing is in school we studied the Civil War and WW2 more than nam.Like I stated before odd now that I think about.I meet a few Nam vets.And no I did not ask them to go into depth about their unit.If they wanted to they would have tolded me.
This era owes everything to those synths.

This track was fire, used to breakdance to this in my younger days
1985 was magical
Glad I joined and served and survived. 19 and Duran Duran was my go to music that motivated me a lot during those times.
Grande! Grazie Paul per il messaggio dì buon senso, fantastico anche oggi
Very interesting post. I remember the song well! At 11 years old age it was powerful. Still is.
