I will be 51 in June 6th this year. In the 80s you did not have to worry about jobs or money. If I am lucky I have another 20 or 30 yrs. Even the rich do not live to 100 yrs old.😅
I only can wish! The greatest 10 yrs of my life! I went from a boy to a man I learned about love and broken hearts. Nothing will be like those years again
Jan 25th, 83 here. Kindergarten 1988-1989, 1st grade 1989-1990. Have two big hair 80s girl sisters, and one more sister 8 yrs older than me as well. I’m definitely an 80s child. Late gen X.
My mother and father danced to this song every night in my youth. They passed away a day apart from each other. They left me alone, but I listen to this song and I feel them close to me again
I use to dance to this with my x and its a long story won’t get into that but we remained friends becuz his two children and my two children became siblings even if they were not blood related. It’s 42 years later and my x has terminal cancer and I thank God for keeping us as family. The four kids can lean on each other! This song I play everyday just for good memories!
You're not alone. They taught you to love, so that when the day did come they departed this earth, you would never be alone. As long as you love someone, you are never alone.
This song brings many tears to my eyes. I miss the 80s so very much. My whole family was alive and well, I had no worries and just loving life. I'm 51 now and most of my family have passed on and this world is far different than it once was.
That's really sad to hear but just be thankful you had all those great experiences. You were THERE. So many weren't. May God bless you and restore what you had x10!
When this song came out,, we had NO idea, that we would never be able to go back to the 80's again. So many fantastic memories fill my mind when i hear this song. The 80's were wonderful for me. I always get tears in my eyes whenever i hear this song. I would give anything to go back. Sit on the porch with my grandparents, have lunch with mom and just talk. Run and play with my dog. It was such a care free time for me filled with love. I am 62 and missing the world of the 80's.
It makes me sad that my children didn't have the same magical childhood I did growing up in the 80's. Amazing music, playing outside with my friends all day, riding bikes all over the neighborhood, drinking water from the hose, Atari, break dancing on the corner, lol. The world was more innocent and much brighter than today.
My first wife used to hold my newborn second son in her arms and swing around singing this song to my son. She has since passed and my son is now 35. This song brings me back yoo seeing her joy holding him and tears to my eyes.
I was just explaining to my fiancé (as I’m dancing and crying) the way my dad used to dance with my newborn daughter to this song. And then my niece. I told him this is the song I want to dance with my dad to at our wedding. Makes me tear up, remembering dancing with him as a little girl.
This song is indeed a Pop masterpiece. It's uplifting, has a beautiful melody, meaningful lyrics, a terrific chorus and is insanely catchy. Just doesn't get any better than that.
Siga siendo la persona de la cual su esposa se enamoró y perseverando en el bien aún siendo todos imperfectos y le comparto mi testimonio que a la 2da Venida del Señor Jesucristo usted la verá aparecer tan joven y bello y Ella también lo verá así y su amor verdadero el Señor Jesucristo los bendecirá para que sigan Juntos por Siempre porque él mismo los unirá y con sus hijos . Eso se cumplirá y pasarán a los Mundos Eternos donde nuestro Padre Celestial vive y la Sociedad en Los Cielos es de Familias pero Celestiales y Eternas .
Amen, brother! And as everyday gets further from that time, I realize only we can truly say, we lived a life like non before. Or will again. It was the music!!!
My husband died and this was our song when I miss him I go outside at night and listen to it while gazing at the stars and it makes me feel closer to him and one time I even seen a falling star ✨️🌟 ✨️
When you feel the breeze at your temple...know that it is his kiss. May it comfort you to know he is still there...and still in love with you. Until you and he are reunited, never to be separated again. Hold on, hold out, you are not now nor ever without him.
Me too even after 40 years. This song will always remind me my Dad who was a sailor and bought me my first RTV Lloyd's Telefunken and inside was cassette with this song. Tato kocham Cie ❤
This was also my wife and I song. We played it at our wedding unfortunately we also played it at her funeral in February. I refuse to let it make me sad. All I see when I hear this is the beautiful face of my wife.
At 62, I consider myself lucky to have lived through the 60's, 70s and 80s. The best time ever to be alive .... but I'm not done yet. TO BE CONTINUED :)
Not done here either. 67 and still have good health and more living to do and of course listening to these legendary classics. Music keeps you healthy.
Way older than most commentators here, but totally agree, the 80’s were so special and this song epitomises the very best. Clearly sung, beautiful lyrics, such joy.
27 males on a flight from Amsterdam to Manchester sang this and had possibly the best responce ever the whole flight was a joy we were bouncing to everyone on the flight a huge THANKYOU
No way a dont want go back its only now a realise how good things were thanks for the memories its music like this that gives us a wake up call am 64 still got 40 years in me and its nice telling my girls how good things were in the 80s
Yeah I'm astonish. I heard all this music back in the 80s. Of course it though it was good. But now I feel there's such a positive and innocent feeling too them. Boy has the world become a cold place without us noticing it. We are screwed 😭
and Ronald Reagan was President. A lot more trickled down than just economics. See the movie. I was moved to tears of nostalgia. This is a great song of joy, hope, love, unity and strength. Nuff said. Loved the 80’s.
I was 20 when this song came out. Back then I thought it was pretty good, but now I'm 55 and both the song and video bring tears to my eyes. They exude such positivity and really make me miss the 80s.
I was born in 83. It amazes me how 80s music is full of such unbridled optimism. They were positive the future was gonna be awesome. Not sure when it started but nihilism has firmly taken hold sometime since then.
Yeah I'm astonish. I heard all this music back in the 80s. Of course it though it was good. But now I feel there's such a positive and innocent feeling too them. Boy has the world become a cold place without us noticing it. We are screwed 😭
Was watching duck tales with my kid and they played a song that sounded like this one and had to find it! Brings back great memories of the 80’s and how simple everything was mostly as a girl in the 80’s 🥹
Listening to 80s music brings me both great joy and a deep longing kind of pain. I really miss those precious years of my youth so much. How I wish I could experience it all again.
Don’t most people say that they miss the decade in which they grew up though? I am super there are! In 20 years from now, people will be writing about how it was wonderful to grow up in the 2000’s.
This marvelous love song throws me back to the even much more marvelous eighties when (1988, when this song was released) I was 22 years old and when I was very deeply in love with my girlfriend witch I am still with fortunately. 'Those were the days my friend🤷🏻♂️'; I will néver forget the incredible, maybe the best music decade ever (way too much to mention), eighties. Whát a great time then; perhaps the best days of my life and I miss it too...
I agree that the 80s was a great time to be alive, but I try to look at it without roast covered glasses. As a child in my 80s, every time I had a chance, I prayed to God that Russia would not start a nuclear war. Every single day,. We’re probably closer to nuclear war now than we were then with Russia but the Cold War was a scary time in the 80s
@@jessicadugan9184 The media made it more scary than it actually was. There has never been a threat without some sort of American involvement or American provocation. But regardless of the politics, news media didn't have a hold of people back then in the same way that it does today and that's partly why fewer people back then cared about that nonsense. Certainly as kids, we never had any of that propaganda thrown at us and I don't remember my parents or my friends parents ever being overly concerned about it
this was one of my daughters favorite songs.She died in 1990 at age 17 and I miss her so...Cynthia this songs always reminds me of you as with numerous things...so bittersweet. so many memories. With tears streaming down my face I wish you Peace and hope to see you again !
+Brenda Mccullough Sorry to hear of your loss Brenda, your daughter died the same year I was born, such a long time ago but she's obviously still in your heart, I'm sure you will see her again. Keep well.
Im so sorry for your loss...this song reimds me of my mother who died in 1993. The song makes my heart smile and ache at the same time. may your angel daughter RIP!
The interesting thing is we still had the threat of nuclear war, but it's like everyone could see the end of the cold war in sight and were ready to celebrate!
Here it is April 20, 2024 - woke up this morning and this song started playing in my head. Wow I haven’t heard it in years but I know it was there and “sent” to me for a reason. Magic ❤ Beautiful uplifting song and video😊 Thank you 🙏 Think I’ll play it one more time 😉
Aqui é 28/04/2024, último domingo do mês, estava procurando alguma coisa diferente no RUclips, me deparei combessa música, eu ouço ela várias vezes numa live do DJ DURAN as vezes de sextas-feiras quando ele faz e aos domingos as 11:00 da manhã. Realmente é linda mas um pouco triste. São Paulo (interior)Brasil 😂😅😊😊🇧🇷
@@ImYourHuckleberry_29 sim Tabish29 é português, obrigada você também me trás boas vibrações. Boa noite e excelente semana que está começando. Abraços 😉 🤗🫠
What were they like? They seemed lovely. She is gorgeous - she looks like Cindy Crawford here but with more spontaneity. I looked them up and today she is still very beautiful and he looks great too. Divorced but good friends still
Summer, 2024 Born in 83, I've listened to this song since I was a kid riding in the car with my mom. Always loved it. Two months ago, it came on my Playlist as we were driving for vacation, and I skipped thinking none of the family wanted to hear it. My three year old threw a fit, so I put it back on, and she danced and jammed out with her daddy, and that is hands down my favorite memory from that vacation. Same kiddo used to love for me to hold her and sing Toto's "I'll be over you" when she was a couple months old. She's one from my own heart, and this is now our song. Love the 80s.
1988, on vacation in Florida. This song was on every station in South Florida. I'd hear it twenty or thirty times a day and never got tired of hearing it. That holds true to this day.
Actually thee best decade of music was the 1970s. More categories than ever! True new raw talent at it's finest. Real musicians and Real Singers. No computerized drum programming, no voice machines. The 1980s was the last decade of real music for the most part.
I know he originally wrote this for Whitney houston BUT honestly , this song was meant to be sung by him because he's the only one who knew how to do it justice . I can't imagine anyone else singing it . They way he sang it is just pure gold.
@@blebhan8213 Nope,that songs about wanting your friends girlfriend. Not very positive & it's not as upbeat as this - more of a rock song.(which I prefer).
One of the best songs in the 80s. No doubt. I was 16 back then. Time flies. 51 now. Here's wishing everyone the best of health, peace & happiness always... ❤️ from 🇸🇬
To me, this one reminds me of a time when I was in 9th grade. It was a time when nobody really judged me for being a person of European descent. I had classmates who were of African descent, most of the people on my school bus were of African descent, and about half of my high school band was caucasion, and the other half was of African descent. We all got along, for the most part. Nobody seemed to care. We were in school to learn, and we were in the band to kick the shit out of the other schools band. That is what we worried about.
played this to my hubby in 1991 to get him to go out with me and we have been together and married since and 2 kids later and a granddaughter later we are still going strong so I'm so grateful for this song x
Yes, the West was a paradise on earth, but now it's in the past!!! Did you laugh at Russia???? Well, now you have all fallen into poverty as one, and it will only get worse in the West!!!
An incredible song! It stirs my emotions and brings tears to my eyes. I’ve been divorced since 2020. She left me after 28 years for someone else. I was so heartbroken and devastated. But God brings beauty from the ashes. I’m healed now and long for someone to hold and love. So……..,”I’m Waiting For A Star To Fall”!
Fun Fact: These two also wrote "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and "How Will I Know" for Whitney Houston. So if you think this is catchy, you're right. Shout out to the 80s! The best songwriting decade for pop music. So good they're still influencing artists today. ❤
They were at a Whitney Houston concert and noticed a shooting star. This inspired this song. It was written for her, but she passed. I’m glad to see these two sing it, and it still sounds awesome today as it did back then. EDIT: Some people are confusing "passed" for "died". Whitney was not interested in singing this song, so she passed on it.
Why can't life be as good as this video is... It's like an explosion of pure joy. The 80s had a lot more joy in them... And I know I'm not the only person who feels that way... Miss ya, 80s. mwah!
+Josh Popichak He is right. When you hear this song it takes you back to your younger years and makes you remember the times when you had little to no stress and no worries as a child or young teenager. it allows you to live those days all over again and calms you down and puts you in a good mood. I'm sure the young kids now will think that of current songs as they get older.
+Josh Popichak You can make your life anything you want it, you just can't make it "80's good" If I could live a time over it would be the stretch from 1984-1989. Even people in their 50's would say that was a good time, an easier time. And music like this shows it. #timeless
+Stephen Conley SO TRUE, AND THE SAD REALITY OF IT ALL MANY KIDS TODAY CONCUR WITH THAT STATEMENT. MODERN TIMES SUCK, I WISH THAT WASNT THE CASE BUT IT IS
@Momentum Rules You bet!! In fact, since I had the misfortune of being a teenager in the 2010s--when mainstream music is almost nothing but autotune and machine noises and not using real instruments--I listen heavily to 1980s music as most of it has a unique "magical" and "stereotypical Disney" (this song is especially very Disney-esque) especially feel to it, with its potent synthesizers (like Van Halen's "Jump" and Laura Branigan's "Gloria", the latter of which I especially like the "explosive" synthesizer jabs), blazing distorted electric guitar (like in every 1980s hair metal song), and driving beats! (You can say that I am one of those youth in a generation that tends to indulge in and favor the decade 2-3 decades before the current one, as how there were youths who were a fan of the 1950s-1960s, back in the 1980s; just like there are youths who like 1980s today) Though I am glad that there are many artists today that are channeling the 1980s in their own music...In fact, a singer named Eddie Vantez released an album this week, of songs that sound like they came straight from Bon Jovi, RATT, Whitesnake, Journey, etc., only difference is that they were released this week! You should listen to Eddie Vantez!!
Same heyhey i agree the 80s forever and dreams to go back never to forget that whole 10years had as part of my legend childhood i had.We can wish to return after life another chance to relive
As a younger GenXer, I was glad that as a teenager I had this great music. There’s a sweetness and optimism to it that’s been totally lost. The 80’s had the best music!
I hope it will happen, it took me 4 wives to find the right one or should I say I cleaned up my act, found her on e harmony drove every weekend to east Hampton from Philadelphia for three months, I then took a high heel wearing lady to the farm , it’s been 15 years since now she’s taking care of me in my last few months of life, I was making a list of songs to my Jayne and this was the seconded song god bless for he did me
Couldn't agree more... listening now, in 2019.. missing the 80's days...waiting for my husband to come home after driving a semi, with the impeding storms here in Ohio... CHERISH the memories, AND the music, for sure.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I had just started college when this song was released. And had started seriously seeing my wife (girlfriend then), who was crazy about this song...I grew to love it. Sadly she left me for Heaven Christmas morning 2015. She chose wisely...too much lymphoma treatment and lupus, can't blame her. This song takes me back to just a country road drive hearing her beautiful voice as she sang every word (she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket...LOL...but it was beautiful to me!) Thankful for the time machine called youtube...
One of the best things about music is its ability to create connections between us that also last after us. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm also very glad that you can be brought back to the core of your love for each other, any time you want, just by listening.
I hear your name whispered on the wind It's a sound that makes me cry I hear a song blow again and again Through my mind and I don't know why I wish I didn't feel so strong about you Like happiness and love revolve around you Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star So many people love you, baby That must be what you are Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah I've learn to feel what I cannot see But with you, I lose that vision I don't know how to dream your dream So I'm all caught up in the superstition I want to reach out and pull you to me Who says I should let a wild one go free Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star But I can't love you this much, baby And love you from this far Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah Waiting (however long) I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you) It's so hard waiting (don't be too long) Seems like waiting Makes me love you even more Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah Waiting for a star- And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms, baby, yeah
2014 on a flight back from Amsterdam to Manchester after a old guys weekend we sang this 27 of us one the greatest moments in my life and a used to be on stage in musicals but this was so much more it was special one of those never going happen again moments
I believe it was intended for Belinda Carlisle. You can find her version on RUclips. She wasn’t a fan of the song so she half assed it. It’s apparent in her version. The writers recorded it themselves & made magic.
One of the greatest pop songs of all time.
Definitely
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Correct
I AGREE 👍 💯 ❤😊

And just a tiny bit further back for me.. like the 70's but I also missed the early 80s.

I'm 58 and can't agree more no doubt about it we grew up with the greatest music of all times
True, 1980s weren't as bad as today(in March 2024). But, there were problems!
Ronald Reagan the cowboy film star was US President! Problem with US democracy

This song is like the closing scene for entire 1980s. No other way to explain this masterpiece!!!!
nostagia ..
So very true! Never thought of it that way, but it does have that feel, especially when I look back.
I'm guessing you are from Minneapolis?😂😂
Brilliant !!!!!!!!! Total Closure as you say !!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly:)
Memories of when the world was a better place. Glad to have grown up in the 80s/90s
Ditto.
The 80's were the best! I wish we could go back in time.
Me too!. I was born in 1982 and so glad no social media when I was at school.
Same here! I wouldn't want to grow up in the age we live in now, or even think of fathering a kid. Let's face it, the world has gone to pot :(
so true
This was my husband and I's song. He passed away in 2021. I was just listening to it and it gave me chills. Love this song.❤
God, we are getting old fast.
This was also my wife and I song. We played it at our wedding unfortunately we also played it at her funeral in February.
I refuse to let it make me sad. All I see when I hear this is the beautiful face of my wife.
I am sorry for your loss.

80s was the best decade to be a kid
Born in 81. Experienced the 80s and 90s as a kid. You just had to be there.
Born in 82 so I feel you.
And how.
Born in 85 and I essentially grew up in three different decades.
82 🙋🏻♀️
born at the beginning of 81' miss those times.
Yes, I am listening to this in 2024, and will be 43 next month.
This timeless classic will continue to play until the end of time.
im 66 and still listening
I'm listening to it right now 😊
Another 1981 baby, just like me. Life was good, I miss those days
1980 baby here. I hear that 😉

At 62, I consider myself lucky to have lived through the 60's, 70s and 80s. The best time ever to be alive .... but I'm not done yet. TO BE CONTINUED :)
Couldn't agree more I'm 62 also life will never be like it was then.
You are lucky I hate social media and the internet it’s evil life was awesome without it
God saved the best for last
Not done here either. 67 and still have good health and more living to do and of course listening to these legendary classics. Music keeps you healthy.
Very OLD
I love it!!I love all of you2! Don’t ever get so far down that you can’t see love
Way older than most commentators here, but totally agree, the 80’s were so special and this song epitomises the very best. Clearly sung, beautiful lyrics, such joy.
Isn't it nice. Songs were meaningful back then.
This song is beautiful. Neither 1980s were good nor America was better during the 1980s. There was no President Obama during the 1980s
Well put.
Was no better times, ever we would go back if we could
@@giritharanarulampalam8602Your metric for prosperity is Obama? lmao
Anthem of the 80’s, I was truly blessed to be there.
For sure friend. There are no words to describe the feeling of freedom and mystery around every corner
It was the best of times
IKR, and so was I.
I dedicated this song to my son who was born when this song came out. He was my little star. Now he and his wife have 3 of their own little stars.
27 males on a flight from Amsterdam to Manchester sang this and had possibly the best responce ever the whole flight was a joy we were bouncing to everyone on the flight a huge THANKYOU
Beautiful!!!!
Awww that's sweet. My mom calls me her Starshine 😍
My mother did the same thing with me with let's hear it for the boy
What a beautiful story! Prayers that you are all doing fine.
I’m 39. This song honestly is so nostalgic to me. My parents playing it 🥹. I miss those days. Amazing how music can bring so much nostalgia.
Yep. Everything changes, but that song stays exactly the same as it was. I think a lot of people miss "those days" these days...
80's was the best era. Please come back. I miss you.
With a time machine I would go back to the 80s and I would stay there for the rest of my life...
Andrew Barnes hands down, the best !
No way a dont want go back its only now a realise how good things were thanks for the memories its music like this that gives us a wake up call am 64 still got 40 years in me and its nice telling my girls how good things were in the 80s

From this and other songs of the 80s, you can feel a huge hope, freedom, optimism. At that time the world had a chance.
Boy Meets Girl
Feeling like we missed the chance... 😢
Fun fact! The world did have a chance at the time! Now it doesn't!
Fun fact The world always has a chance and it has never been better than it is right now .
Stop whining and live!
Yeah I'm astonish. I heard all this music back in the 80s. Of course it though it was good. But now I feel there's such a positive and innocent feeling too them. Boy has the world become a cold place without us noticing it. We are screwed 😭
52 and still listening to 80s best generation of all time
RIP polaroid cameras. You wont ever be forgotten
Same! I am also 52 and loving listening to all these 80s songs!
I am 52 too, we have to build a Town just for 80ers!!!!! Living in peace and respect with all the 80s songs togerher......❤
I agree the 80's were awesome! I miss that year.
Nah, the 50's the GREATEST of all Time Brah, 80's falls right behind them. Agreed?
I'm 62 and the 80's were the best of times. The best music, the best hair and Miami Vice! If only I had a time machine....
If you ever get a time machine and your destination is the 80s, please can I come too!
I wish the same , there's no good music anymore on 2024 pure trush
Which would be a DeLorean, I hope, and another 80s icon 'Back to the Future' film/movie trilogy
and Ronald Reagan was President. A lot more trickled down than just economics. See the movie. I was moved to tears of nostalgia. This is a great song of joy, hope, love, unity and strength. Nuff said. Loved the 80’s.
I was 20 when this song came out. Back then I thought it was pretty good, but now I'm 55 and both the song and video bring tears to my eyes. They exude such positivity and really make me miss the 80s.
Hey Craig, let's get a DeLorean and go back! I'm 50 and I'm ready to go. We could go back and warn everyone about the crazy ass world we live in now!
I was born in 83. It amazes me how 80s music is full of such unbridled optimism. They were positive the future was gonna be awesome. Not sure when it started but nihilism has firmly taken hold sometime since then.
Now the younger generations get such optimism with songs like WAP! 😔@@fartknockerR17
You're not alone. Now days many of these great old classics bring me and my lady to tears--happy ones that is.

Was watching duck tales with my kid and they played a song that sounded like this one and had to find it! Brings back great memories of the 80’s and how simple everything was mostly as a girl in the 80’s 🥹
Listening to 80s music brings me both great joy and a deep longing kind of pain. I really miss those precious years of my youth so much. How I wish I could experience it all again.
things have more meaning when they don’t last forever, makes us cherish them more when we experience them :)
Wish i could had been a adult in the 80s
Me too 🥲
Don’t most people say that they miss the decade in which they grew up though? I am super there are! In 20 years from now, people will be writing about how it was wonderful to grow up in the 2000’s.
Agreed a bittersweet thankful but wishing you could have done more
This is the happiest and most nostalgic song ever. Never fails to brighten up my mood.
Was a crazy teen I love when this wonderful song came out. It's an inspiration.
I used to listen to this song all the time when I was going to school in my mind thinking about my boyfriend
Happy and nostalgic. That sums it up! I could dance to this song like no one’s watching!
I miss the 80's. It was a special time.
Same here, and my sentiments exactly.
It was the best
AMEN! or LIKEWISE!
This marvelous love song throws me back to the even much more marvelous eighties when (1988, when this song was released) I was 22 years old and when I was very deeply in love with my girlfriend witch I am still with fortunately. 'Those were the days my friend🤷🏻♂️'; I will néver forget the incredible, maybe the best music decade ever (way too much to mention), eighties. Whát a great time then; perhaps the best days of my life and I miss it too...
Oh yeah; the 80’s were THE BEST
75 years of age and still listening to one of my favorites
Rock it john

I hope I am at 75💞
The greatest era ever !. No stress , no hassle , the best music , tv & films !. I miss it so much 😢
I agree that the 80s was a great time to be alive, but I try to look at it without roast covered glasses. As a child in my 80s, every time I had a chance, I prayed to God that Russia would not start a nuclear war. Every single day,. We’re probably closer to nuclear war now than we were then with Russia but the Cold War was a scary time in the 80s
@@jessicadugan9184 The media made it more scary than it actually was. There has never been a threat without some sort of American involvement or American provocation. But regardless of the politics, news media didn't have a hold of people back then in the same way that it does today and that's partly why fewer people back then cared about that nonsense. Certainly as kids, we never had any of that propaganda thrown at us and I don't remember my parents or my friends parents ever being overly concerned about it
Nah! You were obviously too young to have lived through the 1960s...
This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Agreed! Whenever I feel down I play this song, so uplifting and hopeful. I could listen to it every day of my life!
Bring the 80's back 💯🔥

Summer, 2024
Born in 83, I've listened to this song since I was a kid riding in the car with my mom. Always loved it. Two months ago, it came on my Playlist as we were driving for vacation, and I skipped thinking none of the family wanted to hear it. My three year old threw a fit, so I put it back on, and she danced and jammed out with her daddy, and that is hands down my favorite memory from that vacation. Same kiddo used to love for me to hold her and sing Toto's "I'll be over you" when she was a couple months old. She's one from my own heart, and this is now our song. Love the 80s.
That's a very special Child who has been Blessed with a VERY special Mother ❤
1988, on vacation in Florida. This song was on every station in South Florida. I'd hear it twenty or thirty times a day and never got tired of hearing it. That holds true to this day.
And the exact same humans are still in Florida.
I was in south Florida in 1988, coral gables. Went every summer. This song was indeed on every station!
No music in any era beats the 80s.. timeless 😍

Actually thee best decade of music was the 1970s. More categories than ever! True new raw talent at it's finest. Real musicians and Real Singers. No computerized drum programming, no voice machines. The 1980s was the last decade of real music for the most part.

To me, this one reminds me of a time when I was in 9th grade. It was a time when nobody really judged me for being a person of European descent. I had classmates who were of African descent, most of the people on my school bus were of African descent, and about half of my high school band was caucasion, and the other half was of African descent. We all got along, for the most part. Nobody seemed to care. We were in school to learn, and we were in the band to kick the shit out of the other schools band. That is what we worried about.
played this to my hubby in 1991 to get him to go out with me and we have been together and married since and 2 kids later and a granddaughter later we are still going strong so I'm so grateful for this song x
Congrats :)))))
Congratulations! May God keep you together for many more blessed years.

An incredible song! It stirs my emotions and brings tears to my eyes. I’ve been divorced since 2020. She left me after 28 years for someone else. I was so heartbroken and devastated. But God brings beauty from the ashes. I’m healed now and long for someone to hold and love. So……..,”I’m Waiting For A Star To Fall”!

Hang in there brother. God walks with, he is always with you.
Fun Fact: These two also wrote "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and "How Will I Know" for Whitney Houston. So if you think this is catchy, you're right. Shout out to the 80s! The best songwriting decade for pop music. So good they're still influencing artists today. ❤
They were at a Whitney Houston concert and noticed a shooting star. This inspired this song. It was written for her, but she passed.
I’m glad to see these two sing it, and it still sounds awesome today as it did back then.
EDIT: Some people are confusing "passed" for "died". Whitney was not interested in singing this song, so she passed on it.
Totally agree Rob u legend
@@stevenmilliman412 I think they meant that Houston passed on the song. Not that she died.
Lol I re-read it and you’re right. Song is still cheesy as fuck.
I never knew that, thank you.
Why can't life be as good as this video is... It's like an explosion of pure joy. The 80s had a lot more joy in them... And I know I'm not the only person who feels that way... Miss ya, 80s. mwah!
+Josh Popichak He is right. When you hear this song it takes you back to your younger years and makes you remember the times when you had little to no stress and no worries as a child or young teenager. it allows you to live those days all over again and calms you down and puts you in a good mood. I'm sure the young kids now will think that of current songs as they get older.
+Josh Popichak you are so right. miss the wonderfull 1980s!
+Josh Popichak it's what you make it
+Josh Popichak You can make your life anything you want it, you just can't make it "80's good" If I could live a time over it would be the stretch from 1984-1989. Even people in their 50's would say that was a good time, an easier time. And music like this shows it. #timeless

Memories ❤
Absolutely love this song! Nothing beats the 80s...
What a great ballad. 80s were the best times to be young and alive.
Totally agree! 💯
@Momentum Rules You bet!! In fact, since I had the misfortune of being a teenager in the 2010s--when mainstream music is almost nothing but autotune and machine noises and not using real instruments--I listen heavily to 1980s music as most of it has a unique "magical" and "stereotypical Disney" (this song is especially very Disney-esque) especially feel to it, with its potent synthesizers (like Van Halen's "Jump" and Laura Branigan's "Gloria", the latter of which I especially like the "explosive" synthesizer jabs), blazing distorted electric guitar (like in every 1980s hair metal song), and driving beats! (You can say that I am one of those youth in a generation that tends to indulge in and favor the decade 2-3 decades before the current one, as how there were youths who were a fan of the 1950s-1960s, back in the 1980s; just like there are youths who like 1980s today)
Though I am glad that there are many artists today that are channeling the 1980s in their own music...In fact, a singer named Eddie Vantez released an album this week, of songs that sound like they came straight from Bon Jovi, RATT, Whitesnake, Journey, etc., only difference is that they were released this week! You should listen to Eddie Vantez!!
It's not really a ballad. Just a clean and pure 80's pop song.
Wow, such empathy. I'm guessing you weren't young and alive in Ethiopia in the 80s? Never mind, so long as you were ok, that's good.

Couldn't agree more... listening now, in 2019.. missing the 80's days...waiting for my husband to come home after driving a semi, with the impeding storms here in Ohio... CHERISH the memories, AND the music, for sure.
I would go back in a heartbeat to this time period...
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.

hi Annemarie see that little photo of me there on the left? Just tap on it, and you're at my channel.
The lyrics, the beat, Andy’s sax solo and Shannon frolicking on the beach and riding a Schwinn Stingray in the living room. My anthem for the 80’s.
I had just started college when this song was released. And had started seriously seeing my wife (girlfriend then), who was crazy about this song...I grew to love it. Sadly she left me for Heaven Christmas morning 2015. She chose wisely...too much lymphoma treatment and lupus, can't blame her. This song takes me back to just a country road drive hearing her beautiful voice as she sang every word (she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket...LOL...but it was beautiful to me!) Thankful for the time machine called youtube...
One of the best things about music is its ability to create connections between us that also last after us. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm also very glad that you can be brought back to the core of your love for each other, any time you want, just by listening.
Beautiful tribute. Thank you.
Thanks a lot. You just made a 26 year old soldier of 9 years who didn't even cry at the birth of his children, shed a tear.

This is probably as close to a “perfect song” as you’re going to get. That sax is just incredible. Why do saxophones make songs so much better

Totalmente fue la mejor decada los '80!!!!
The best years the 80 's i came here in 1984 now at 64 very grateful to be here God bless everyone!!
I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you, baby
That must be what you are
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
I've learn to feel what I cannot see
But with you, I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in the superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much, baby
And love you from this far
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Waiting (however long)
I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you)
It's so hard waiting (don't be too long)
Seems like waiting
Makes me love you even more
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Waiting for a star-
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms, baby, yeah
Great song. Feelings flo
Thanks
It was an awesome time to grow up and not to mention the music. Wish i can do it all over again! 😞

Put me on that boat as well because I second that motion.
for real...i was born in 93...and wish i was born 10 years earlier!
+Tourz Well...it would've been better had all of us born in the early 70s or late 60s so we can be in our teens to enjoy the decade!
So true!!...
I'm listening in June 2022. Heard it on my radio station and took awhile to learn who did it. It is a great song!
It was originally made for the one and only Whitney Houston, but was turned down by Arista. They wrote two of her other #1 hits though.
2014 on a flight back from Amsterdam to Manchester after a old guys weekend we sang this 27 of us one the greatest moments in my life and a used to be on stage in musicals but this was so much more it was special one of those never going happen again moments
I believe it was intended for Belinda Carlisle. You can find her version on RUclips. She wasn’t a fan of the song so she half assed it. It’s apparent in her version. The writers recorded it themselves & made magic.

They offered this song to record producer Clive Davis for Whitney Houston. He declined. So they decided to sing it themselves! I’m so glad they did!
Makes me happy, wow, what music !!!
