I walked into Sam The Record Man in Toronto back in 1984 and they had this playing over the speaker system.. bought it straight away.. still love this whole album
Amazing! That's where I bought it too!👍 (Had to take the bus from Hamilton to do it) I'm sure that you're as thankful for having CFNY back in the day as I am. Thanks to CFNY, we were fortunate to be exposed to a much greater variety of great music (e.g.from the U.K., Australia, N.Z. & continental Europe) than folks in many other parts of North America!
91X in San Diego would play this long version in the middle of the night, which is when i happened to get off work. The album also has this long version. Love it!
Dam, this song it brings me back! Big cities "Less Cities, More Moving People" Another home falls by the wayside A few old cushions stuffed with pride A hand is shaking from the rubble This spirit is still alive A servant bares his occupation Breaks his back just growing old Never mind his views were taken Just saw by the rules of old Less cities more moving people Rushing out with pride Less cities more moving people Hands that once were tied A church bell rang for the occasion The average man learns what's in store Now he sees where his life was taken Fighting heat, but growing old Less cities more moving people Rushing out with pride Less cities more moving people Hands that once were tied Is this what we call education Just watch the wheel of time revolve But why is this not what I'm thinking Just one mind and the unknown Less cities more moving people Rushing out with pride Cities are moving people Who just forgot their lives

I bought this album new (still have it on LP). I simply never want to hear the shortened version ever again, this is a masterpiece. Once in a while back in the 80s the radio stations would play this longer version.
I love this “piece of musical art”, until NOW, 2023. I live in “GerMoney”, I sometimes have to “research” to understand the meanings. I do it “always*”, but: not until TODAY, I did it for this track! I've always felt, like cities "eat" people, I have to "rip out" myself, if I want to leave (travel). PRIVILEGE, just as relevant as in the year it was released (“Correct me if I’m wrong...”). It is one of my “hymns” - one that stays with me throughout my life. I find parts of myself in the music, the lyrics describe the feeling that connects us. And tells: YOU are not the “only one”, others also see like you. (Someone, somewhere... - Simple Minds) *really almost without exception, why not here, ???³.
Jo, mien Deern. Da kann ich dir nur zustimmen. Wurde ja oft als Indie-Band verurteilt. Haben sich auch ja nie richtig durchgesetzt, bei mir schon. Haben wat schräges - mag ich. 208 cm is auch schräg. Manchmal lauf ich sogar so. HÄHÄHÄ...
@Udo Joerges Well said. I agree wholeheartedly. 1984 was still an age of Wonder for myself as well. We were pretty blessed to grow up surrounded by such a talented plethora of artists to create the soundtrack to our youth.
Eines der geilsten Pop-Stücke ever! Schon die normale Version, diese aber erst Recht! Und jetzt könnte ich kotzen: wieso entdecke ich die Maxi-Version erst nach solch langer Zeit - fast 40 Jahre(!!) nach Erscheinen? 😶 Na immerhin, überhaupt. Onkel RUclips sei Dank 😉
Damn I'm New to the party this version of less cities More moving people i straight 🔥🔥 I have a better understanding of the premise and thematic of the song for this
Der abgefahrene Bass bläst einen mal wieder weg. Fixx hatte immer abgefahrene Bass-Lines. Ich liebe es... Übrigens dertaubedj, hast guten Musikgeschmack. Bin schon öfters bei einem deiner Videos gelandet. Dank dir...
When i was young... Hamburg, Germany, from the sunset of the 70s to the sunrise of the 80s, each Friday + Saturday deep in the night at the Club "GRÜNSPAN" at St. Pauli 👙 Unforgettable.
A los 14 en la playa con un radiocasst toda la noche escuchandola de mareñ a a palmeres 1 mesca entera tuvo la culpa no hubo manera de llegar a barraca,jjjjjj
Damn. What an amazing remix. Viva Le Fixx ❤️ These guy’s are phenomenal. They’re timeless and more on point and dialled in and relevant NOW in 2021 than they where 20 years ago (they saw what was coming in a sense). Absolutely genius material. Sadly, only few SJW Snowflakes ❄️ will ever read this.
First time I've heard this version. I like some things about it, but it seems to have more of a morbid character than the LP version does, which for me is a negative aspect. Can't vote either way.
I’ve been a Fixx fan since 1981 and I’ve never heard this version before Wow!!! And the message today is more relevant than ever
same!
This song is so good. I remember the first time I heard it back in the day.
They were absolutely amazing. I wish we had a band that had this type of sound today.
This is off the chain! Absolutely awesome.
I still love this one. And do have still the back then bought 12" vinyl in my collection... amazing song, amazin band.
PRIVILEGE!
Thank you for the upload

Immer wieder geil, die LP steht immer noch in meinem Regal.....und mein Plattenspieler läuft noch
This was always my favorite Fixx song, and I ever only had it on tape. This is a treat to hear this long version.
91X in San Diego would play this long version in the middle of the night, which is when i happened to get off work. The album also has this long version. Love it!
Nice long version of this great FiXX classic.
the short version is just not worth listening to after you hear this one!
Dam, this song it brings me back! Big cities "Less Cities, More Moving People"
Another home falls by the wayside
A few old cushions stuffed with pride
A hand is shaking from the rubble
This spirit is still alive
A servant bares his occupation
Breaks his back just growing old
Never mind his views were taken
Just saw by the rules of old
Less cities more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Less cities more moving people
Hands that once were tied
A church bell rang for the occasion
The average man learns what's in store
Now he sees where his life was taken
Fighting heat, but growing old
Less cities more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Less cities more moving people
Hands that once were tied
Is this what we call education
Just watch the wheel of time revolve
But why is this not what I'm thinking
Just one mind and the unknown
Less cities more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Cities are moving people
Who just forgot their lives
Is his spirit still alive?
Masterpiece
Haunting, so ahead of it’s time…..the future never seemed so present
Another home falls by the wayside
A few old cushions stuffed with pride
A hand is shaking from the rubble
This spirit is still alive
A servant bares his occupation
Breaks his back just growing old
Never mind his views were taken
Just saw by the rules of old
Less cities more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Less cities more moving people
Hands that once were tied
A church bell rang for the occasion
The average man learns what's in store
Now he sees where his life was taken
Fighting heat, but growing old
Less cities more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Less cities more moving people
Hands that once were tied
Is this what we call education
Just watch the wheel of time revolve
But why is this not what I'm thinking
Just one mind and the unknown
Less cities more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Cities are moving people
Who just forgot their lives
That's what happening in today's society. The Fixx where ahead of their time. ❤
Excellent quality for a ridiculously insane tune.

I have it on cassette.What do you think of this song?
@@peggyfranzen6159 the more moving people part is prophetic
Wow! I played this on cassette till it broke. Never heard this version before.Well done!

@@anja9303 Das waren doch tolle Zeiten, New Wave ever
This is great.........brings back memories..........12 inch version is new to me!!

Du scheinst nicht der einizge zu sein, der die Maxi-Version nicht kennt/kannte...dafür kenne ich die LP-Version nicht..also mach dir nix draus ;-)
I had forgotten how many great songs this band made!
A song for the times we live in, written 40 years ago
One of the best! 🕺🌟🎸
Superb version
Un tema para la eternidad, GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS POR SUBIR ESTE SUPER TEMAZO
I've been a fixx fan 30 yrs now...didnt know this existed until tonight..great vocals and the blade runner keyboard effects😎😎
The Fixx's originals typically had an edge. Love them.
The Fixx should have ushered in the 90s and prepared us for the Millennium..
Didn't know this existed. I love it. It's cool- the differences.
Diese 12"-Version ist einer der besseren aus den 80ern
Da gebe ich dir recht.
Awesome Band... A full on Fave
Every time I hear music from my high school, the more I feel my time left is ...
Cudos on this! Most excellent !
Nice Nice Nice
Damn I'm New to the party this version of less cities More moving people i straight 🔥🔥 I have a better understanding of the premise and thematic of the song for this
All Time Favourite! 😍
Less Cites , More Moving People 🤗 wenn das nicht passt nach 40 Jahren ?
Thanks dertaubedj for having a high quality audio video, so many people post vids but the sound quality is trash. Good Old Tune.
Thanks a lot. Never heard the 12 inch.
Great memories on this one. Stil have the vinyl
Der abgefahrene Bass bläst einen mal wieder weg. Fixx hatte immer abgefahrene Bass-Lines. Ich liebe es...
Übrigens dertaubedj, hast guten Musikgeschmack. Bin schon öfters bei einem deiner Videos gelandet. Dank dir...
Danke DIR fürs Kompliment :-)....schön zu lesen, dass man nicht der Einzige ist, dem das gefällt.
Die 80 waren die Zeit...der Aussi's ! Flash and the Pan...AC/DC...The Fixx...Midnight Oil...
Inixs.....
The Fixx zumindest kamen aber aus London... :) Dem Rest stimme ich gerne zu.
When i was young... Hamburg, Germany, from the sunset of the 70s to the sunrise of the 80s, each Friday + Saturday deep in the night at the Club "GRÜNSPAN" at St. Pauli 👙 Unforgettable.
2021 and I go with this song

Meistunterschätzte Kapelle der 80er...
Das ist richtig . Musikalisch sehr weit der damaligen Zeit voraus
increíble BARRACA...

Less Zombies, more real people, life is the Master, we need to relate more to Life.
Is this what ( WE), call education.

Kara Groben It means...M is the first letter from my first name, J is the first letter from my second name😉...you‘ve got records of me?😳
Porque creo que los Valencianos somos los mejores en muchos en fiesta y en todos un,,💋🌹
nothing lured, they did not listen.
