As a 19 year old kid, I'm jealous of all of you adults who grew up in the 80s 😭😭 Yes, we have phones and social medias but what's the point when all I do is searching for 80s stuff??
You should have been in my classes where every history or geography lesson included at least one musical interlude featuring some great "old" music! And if things became too stressed, we sat back and relaxed with music....
@@kristenfairman5483 Well I will still think that the 80s the best I know we got better things but I just wanna live the time when vinyl records was the norm, record tv programs to a VHS tape was the norm 😭
💯 My Gen Z daughter is so envious I saw so many great bands from 1984- present. Saw The Frames and Damien Rice in 2003, 8 mos pregnant with the kiddo! No wonder she loves my music. 😍 #musicismytimemachine
I lived the best of both worlds, splitting my growing-up years evenly between the 1970 and 1980s. The best music, best movies, and best TV. I feel so sorry for today's kids, with poor substitutes for all that, i.e. cell phones constantly in their hands and (anti)social media.
I was 15 in 1981 I can't tell you how amazing it was no mobiles no Internet peace and happiness..and amazing music and respect for each other o wish I was back there the world is so crap now

Ese sonido nostálgico, melancólico de los sintetizadores, el sonido de guitarras que se aleja y se expande como ecos cristalinos, las voces flotando como el viento, los colores grises y metálicos de los vídeos, en fin, las producciones de los ochenta y ese sentimiento de un tiempo sin edad, un tiempo sin tiempo, un tiempo de otra dimensión, los ochenta, fueron insuperables. Los viví totalmente y no habrá otra era así, pero se han quedado en mi corazón y en mi mente para siempre...
One minute I’m a teenager listening to this on holiday in North Wales crushing on the neighbours son in his XR3i, then I blinked and I’m 54 reminiscing about the 80s and wishing I could turn back time. #genx
The 80s was skint generation financially for many, but music wise was absolutely priceless and loaded with some of the best artists that have ever graced the planet 💫
Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, London and Newcastle, Glasgow.... Somethings in the water in those places. Because no other places on this Earth can produce this.
La melancolía que provoca esta canción es peculiar. No es deprimente. Es dolorosa y dulce a la vez. Es una tristeza hermosa. Propia de un adolescente de esa época. El escenario que eligieron para el vídeo fue todo un acierto, pues concuerdan el placer nostálgico de la melodía con la nostalgia legana, infinita y magica que se siente delante el mar en una rompiente dominada por los tonos azules y fríos. Geniales los 80s❤
Paul Reynolds and the Edge have a similar sound with all the echo, reverb and delay. Such a modern and haunting sound. I love and miss this so much. I need to start learning some of this type of stuff myself. I was a total Metal Head when these guys were popular and still loved them. I guess their music spoke to me.
Hearing this again 36 years later sitting here in my office at work before any other staff arrive I'm choking back a few tears. All the mistakes I've made, all those I've hurt and all I've lost. This song reminds me of it all. I'll give it my "Pink Floyd Painful Retrospective" award. Well done AFOS :-)
We all make mistakes in life, that's not anything to be ashamed of because we all do. It's learning from those mistakes that makes you a better person.👍👍
You are not human if don't think about those things. I just hope you can find away forward with the rest of us. After all these years later many of us are still trying to figure life out.
I know what you mean. My father died in an accident last year. I often put off going to see him, too wrapped up in my own life dominated by working 70 plus hours a week. I did not see him for a long time due to Covid too. The last time I saw him was February 2020 and I had no idea I would never speak to him again as the door closed and I walked away for the last time. Truth to be told, he was always distant and I never felt I knew him but he was the only father I had ( obviously). If I could turn back time, I would reach out and visit more often. He once suggested going to see OMD together on one of their recent tours just to show interest in a band I had always followed but to my shame I declined. The one thing I want to do is pick up the phone to say hello but it can never happen. I will have to own my regrets.
Shows you how powerful this song is: my grandfather used to tell us about his early days in West Africa when he was part of a street gang called Zulashta. They were having a violent turf war with a gang called Goronzo who had at least twice the amount of members. On the night of their big street confrontation they assembled in front of a butcher’s shop. The whole street took cover but the butcher went on with his work as if he knew he was secure. This was playing very loudly on his radio and before the gangs would even take one step forward, they noticed the song and decided to call a truce. He joined the church as an ordained priest a few months later. Just goes to show you the power of the lyrics. My grandfather died in 93 but I’ll always remember him through this song.
Esta canción siempre me habló al alma y 44 años después todavía lo hace, nunca más tendremos música como ésta 😢 extraño mucho la inocencia de mí juventud! 🫶🥰 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 es muy decepcionante.🙄🤨😢 A alguien más le toca el alma?? Qué nostalgia!!😢
Si, muchisima nostalgia… Los vi en Diciembre 2021 en Petco Park, San Diego CA. Y suenan igual Que en Los 80’s. Me trajo muchas memorias de Los 80’s y como eran tan sensillos y inocentes esos Dias! ❤❤
My dad died 1984 so sad he was young but i love this song. Cried many times.Have thar secret smile , and ne a mystery.Stay safe everyone life is so presious.
I agree. And yet the only synths in this track are the drums and a lead behind the guitar solo. I always think of them as a synth band but they go really light on them here.
As a Kiwi born in 1967 we were so far away from the other side of the World all we ever got on Radio or TV was mainstream hits music. RUclips opened up an entire realm of music and Bands we never saw or heard about. Flock of Seagulls is a great example because '' I Ran'' was all we heard on radio play.
When this song came out Frank & Paul did a record signing session that I went to at the Mark Jones record shop on Smithdown Road. (Mark Jones was a Liverpool radio DJ)
No habrá jamás una década como la de los 80´s, es verdad estas canciones perdurarán para toda la vida, son canciones atemporales! Nací en el ´71 y agradezco haber vivido esta hermosa época!
Agradezco que con 36 años pueda yo recordar un poco de esa nostalgia que de seguro se que debes sentir al escuchar estos clásicos que de seguro atesoramos muchos en nuestros corazones un abrazo grande 👍👍🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🍀👍🍀
I was 20 when this song came out and lived my best years in the 80,s with all the best of new wave. I was so blessed with great times ,great friends,and great music.
I can totally relate to what you are saying...same here I was 19yr old..and yes blessed with great times, friends and great music and still am...love from Ireland Chris!!!
@@Argentx1965 my places were fitzgeralds at white oak and studewood and rockefellers at washington and heights blvd ,saw a lot of good shows in them places.
This is an amazing song, stands the test of time, a very under rated band at the time, lucky enough to have seen them 3 times recently and they were awesome live
My 14 yr old self met my 30 yr old self when I visited Giant’s Causeway in ‘99. I had my walkman on with the Best of Flock of Seagulls while walking around the incredibly beautiful area! 😍 Music is my time machine.
Es de esas canciones que la escuchas una vez y no dejas de escucharla, te pega tan rápidamente que se te vuelve adictiva. Es de esas canciones que te ponen nostálgico, su ritmo te transporta a épocas maravillosas, en mi caso cuando era un niño.
I love the subtle and simplistic elegance of the guitar work. I didn't really appreciate this stuff in the 80s. Glad it turned out to be worth rediscovering.
@@Cherokeelion It's a shame Paul Reynolds couldn't expand on his guitar ability and his ear for music. I read he was pretty chewed up by the industry. He was pretty young in the 80s.

Great album.. it really was I was in Aberdeen Scotland for the summer of 84’ when this record came out picked it up at Boots the chemist Then went for curry chips!
Paul Reynolds le daba a su guitarra sonidos únicos, adelantados a su tiempo. Me pregunto porqué no está entre los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos. Los que vivimos los 80 de alguna manera seguimos ahí!
It's very nice when you drive your car (in my case a truck) around the downtown of your city with this kind of music at full volume and people look at you with a smile, realizing that you're only 32, but like good music. Not like other guys driving "tunned" cars with reggaetton at full volume.
My teenage years were interesting , there was some great times , but then not so great but this music and groups that first started up '81-'83 the sound and lyrics were so awesome and has stayed with us I always go back and listen when feeling nostalgic ! I was 19 in 1982 and the music carried right through my 20's and it's magical.
Charlotte Priest if only I could go back in time to my teen years in the 80's. the world was full of hope. the only thing I look forward to now is retirement from the society enforced slavery that is work 😑
remember the good o'le 1980s when things were so uncomplicated... I wish I could go back there again, and everything will be the same.. (ELO) . It was good, ... we were all a bit neurotic ... but it was so good. This was one of the great bands. Funnily enough their songs always made me want to leap into the future. . Now I am in the future I want to leap back again. But hearing their music now makes me want to leap further into the future and definitlety away from the age we are living in now. Wonderful band. Great Songs.
I started working with my dad not long ago. During our car rides he listens so some 80’s music. I’m starting to appreciate them more every day. I guess this type of music will never die if we pass it on to the next generation.
The first time I heard this song was in 2014 Ifell in love with it immediately. I listened it on a radio and I didn't know who was singing it. I heard it once and searched it I couldn't find it... I never gave up on searching until I found it... 10 Jan 2024 is when I found this amazing song. 10 years of searching
I'm here digging this music after living through it back in the 80s I'm 65 now but not a regret for God has blessed me with a beautiful memory and peace about everything.
You're right, Yes, it's the essence of the great 80's. The sound of this era was warm and cold at the same time, perfect for pop music. They don't make music like that anymore.
This sound ... is the really essence for the eighties? even close, man. I like A flock of Seagulls since "Modern love is authomatic", got the 45", but is really far from main 80's influence, only is one of the hundred streams.
MAN THAT GUITAR GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!! OMG I WISH THE EIGHTES NEVER ENDED!!! IT SUCKS KNOWING IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!! I WAS BORN IN 1980 SO IM PROUD OF THAT! GOD BLESS THE 80'S THANKYOU!!

This was my favourite of all their stuff. FoS was brilliant band as was the 80's. Why did the 80's have to end? I miss it all still, mid 50's and I still can't let it go. Real music, proper music, original not like the fabricated crap the weirdos and 5 minute wonder groups turn out now. There is a documentary on the tube somewhere about some guy who bought FoS back for a reunion. Worth a watch.
How Many People Still Loves "A Flock of Seagulls"???.

I lived the best of both worlds, splitting my growing-up years evenly between the 1970 and 1980s.
The best music, best movies, and best TV.
I feel so sorry for today's kids, with poor substitutes for all that, i.e. cell phones constantly in their hands and (anti)social media.

Never trust people fully. Words of wisdom. I know. From experience.
Same here
Within 5 seconds this song is in your brain..that's great songwriting
Far as i'm concern the whole 80's decade comes together in this song.
What a great band. Probably didn't fully appreciate them in the 80s. I really appreciate how much better the world was then. Wish we could go back.
Loading up the DeLorean for an 80's trip! I'll pick you up! :)
@@scottsmith4933 hey..count me in!😍😍😍
Same
Same....
So true
Unlike other decades,the 80s is the greatest decade to ever exist,the whole vibe never gets old,what a strong sense of nostalgia
I became an adult in the 80's.
Los 70' fue mejor, la música de los 80'era muy comercial
Netflix Stranger Things TV drama already proves it
80's melodies had the gift of sounding both uplifting and melancholic...it's simply the best decade for music ever.
Warning: Serious Ear-worm may result!
I agree completely. :)
While I am nostalgic about 80's music; my rational mind tells me that the best decade for music was the 90's.
True…along with the 1970s.

So glad he is getting proper respect on this thread. Dude can flat out play.
The 80's wouldn't have been the 80's without the Flock of Seagulls. Absolutely in the top 10 bands that made that the Decade of the greatest music.
Hi I recommend a brand new indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I'd say!
It,s unbielve listen such song at this momento,,,,,,,,
Best years to enjoy being teenager and listen to the music new wave years
Absolutely agree feel the same too.😊
Paul played so beautifully. He wasn't sloppy, or show off. Just gave it his all. He gave us his beauty, in a spiritual way. Thank you ,Paul ❤❤❤
The 80s was skint generation financially for many, but music wise was absolutely priceless and loaded with some of the best artists that have ever graced the planet 💫
Made us appreciate what we had all that much more... especially the music, an innovative time which will remain unparalleled.
You said it. I loved Prefab Sprout.
Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, London and Newcastle, Glasgow.... Somethings in the water in those places. Because no other places on this Earth can produce this.
I can't stop listening that guitar solo, My god!!!!! The combination of the guitar and synthesizer is just amazing. Unforgettable!!!!

Yes thats Paul "Reno "Reynolds. Watch all their live concerts , A Flock of Seagulls live @ The Ace in Brixton.
The guy on lead guitar is bloody good
The amazing Paul Reynolds guitar is what made AFOS unique. There were many synth bands, but no other had Paul and his sound, .

Every song from "A Flock of Seagulls" never fails to color and make me enjoy making boring days better.

I loved "I Ran" when I was a kid. Why did it take me almost 40 years to realize how good their other songs were?
I would say this is their best song.
Q canción más hermosaaaa,la escucho siempre y no me canso ... grande E.L.O...the best....desde Linares
This may be the Gullsiest song in their catalog. It has every one of their signature sounds - space, future, dream, ballad, guitar, technology, love.
I agree. And yet the only synths in this track are the drums and a lead behind the guitar solo. I always think of them as a synth band but they go really light on them here.

Saludos desde Medellín a todos mis amigos nacidos en la década del 70. Somos una generación única.
Yo igual soy del 73 pero igual lo e bailado muy linda epoca deberian ponerla en ano nuevo y muchas mas
La música de los 80 no tiene comparación.
La mejor época sin duda 😄👍
Iwas just wondering where the last 40 years went!! Wow! Mind- numbing.😮
the drumer is fantastic!
Gr8 song.. We'll constructed 🎶🎶❤️
I was 20 when this song came out and lived my best years in the 80,s with all the best of new wave. I was so blessed with great times ,great friends,and great music.
I know what you mean. Same here.
I can totally relate to what you are saying...same here I was 19yr old..and yes blessed with great times, friends and great music and still am...love from Ireland Chris!!!
Same here I was 22 yrs Jaming to this with friends in Houston tx.... greatest times man.
@@dandane5693 me too brother, I was 20 in 1985, living in H-town. Club Fizz and Hippo was the place to be ❤️
@@Argentx1965 my places were fitzgeralds at white oak and studewood and rockefellers at washington and heights blvd ,saw a lot of good shows in them places.
Esto no es una canción es un himno de por vida buua se te mete en la sangre
This is an amazing song, stands the test of time, a very under rated band at the time, lucky enough to have seen them 3 times recently and they were awesome live
Great song and good childhood memories..happier times.
I used to only like “I Ran”, but after hearing this song, you can run, nightmare, and others. You truly appreciate them.
80s undoubtedly the golden age of music...
That wave crashing at the end is perfect
Paul was so underrated, listening to him again after all these years I’ve come to appreciate how good he was. Take me back to the 80’s !
Es curioso como toda la creatividad musical y artistica, incluso el respeto hacia las personas se ha ido a la basura en los últimos años.
My 14 yr old self met my 30 yr old self when I visited Giant’s Causeway in ‘99. I had my walkman on with the Best of Flock of Seagulls while walking around the incredibly beautiful area! 😍
Music is my time machine.
Con 55 almanaques encima y sigo rockeando, y me siento de 20 años
Mis hijos también escuchan rock de los 60' 70' 80' 90'. Ochentero por siempre.
Im 52 the best time it was in the 80s 😊
I'm 53, and I hear ya.
Es de esas canciones que la escuchas una vez y no dejas de escucharla, te pega tan rápidamente que se te vuelve adictiva. Es de esas canciones que te ponen nostálgico, su ritmo te transporta a épocas maravillosas, en mi caso cuando era un niño.
😢
😢😢😢
I love the subtle and simplistic elegance of the guitar work. I didn't really appreciate this stuff in the 80s. Glad it turned out to be worth rediscovering.
Hi I recommend a new 80's style song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
The guitar interplay is fantastic isnt it
@@Cherokeelion It's a shame Paul Reynolds couldn't expand on his guitar ability and his ear for music. I read he was pretty chewed up by the industry. He was pretty young in the 80s.
I agree wholeheartedly to thatv
AMoooo Esa Voz ese ESTILO ese PUERTOMAR de fondo 😘🤲✨️ salu2 dsd Peumo Chile 🇨🇱 Los mejores A FLOCK
I love the flock of seagulls I was actually behind a stage with them when I went to see him in Jacksonville Florida maybe 20 years ago❤❤
Lyrics:
You never give your heart to a stranger
Or tell your secrets to a friend
You'll put your heart in mortal danger
They all desert you in the end
The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away
They say that nothing lasts forever
And even true love turns to pain
Don't trust your feelings to a stranger
Don't want to go through this again
The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away
The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away
Don't ever give your heart to a stranger
Don't ever think that you can go on
You'll put your heart in mortal danger
Turn around and love is gone
The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away
The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away
The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away
The lyrics are incredibly prophetic!!!
This lyrics are good words to live by.
THANKS💖

Don't ever think that you can hold on
Not
Don't ever think that you can go on
The lyrics of somebody who could never get out of "the friend zone". Holy shit I can relate
Great album.. it really was I was in Aberdeen Scotland for the summer of 84’ when this record came out picked it up at Boots the chemist Then went for curry chips!
Siempre escucharé a mis 54 años música de los 70 y 80 xk es la mejor ,sin duda la mejor generación que somos
Temazo, BOGOTA COLOMBIA MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023, GOD BLESS YOU, 🎆🎆🎄🎄🎄🍾🍾🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
Paul Reynolds what a great lead guitarist of the 80s top man
Paul Reynolds le daba a su guitarra sonidos únicos, adelantados a su tiempo. Me pregunto porqué no está entre los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos.
Los que vivimos los 80 de alguna manera seguimos ahí!
Exactly and I believe he was a only a teenager. Shear guitar genius.
Underrated.
Hi I recommend the song 'Where I Come From' by Robert Nix
@@wadefarrell7742 Hi I recommend taking a listen to the song 'Where I Come From' by Robert Nix
the older i get the more i relize how much i mis the 80s what a great time i wish i could go back .
steven kerry TOTALLY Steven
I never knew listening to these oldies would make me cry.. China crisis... Ice house.. Flock of seagulls.. Nick Kershaw..
i miss them :/
Yeah man, the more you live the more you love the 80s
Well if you listen and watch this, aren't you back in the 80s for a moment? I am.
yes i am mate totaly agree with you just would actually be there what a great time .
The rhythm and everything about this song is the essential essence of the 80s…so simple yet complex
It's very nice when you drive your car (in my case a truck) around the downtown of your city with this kind of music at full volume and people look at you with a smile, realizing that you're only 32, but like good music. Not like other guys driving "tunned" cars with reggaetton at full volume.
Same with my bike and phone holder my friend! 😂 💪
Flock of Seagulls - they should have had a much bigger impact on the music scene. Absolutely love this and Space Age Lovesong!!
Vaya que está canción trasciende en el tiempo, enero del 2021 si lo estás escuchando amas la buena música!
La mejor música de todos los tiempos
AMEN
Total....lo mejor de nuestra época
15/8,🇮🇹✌️🎂
Maravillosa e insuperable música.
That final chord with the breaking wave, was the money shot! This is my favorite FoS song.
Im very grateful that i was born in the 60's because music from 70's, 80's, is priceless today's teenagers did not recognize them.
My dog heard a song playing. He comes and gets in my lap to hold and pet him. It is this song. This is what he was trying to tell me. My dog loves me!
My teenage years weren't the greatest. But one great thing about being a teenager in the 80's was the music...
same, those years sucked for me, except for the timeless music
My teenage years were interesting , there was some great times , but then not so great but this music and groups that first started up '81-'83 the sound and lyrics were so awesome and has stayed with us I always go back and listen when feeling nostalgic ! I was 19 in 1982 and the music carried right through my 20's and it's magical.
Well said 👍💪
Charlotte Priest if only I could go back in time to my teen years in the 80's. the world was full of hope. the only thing I look forward to now is retirement from the society enforced slavery that is work 😑
Hey, I'm an 80s teenager.
remember the good o'le 1980s when things were so uncomplicated... I wish I could go back there again, and everything will be the same.. (ELO) . It was good, ... we were all a bit neurotic ... but it was so good. This was one of the great bands. Funnily enough their songs always made me want to leap into the future. . Now I am in the future I want to leap back again. But hearing their music now makes me want to leap further into the future and definitlety away from the age we are living in now. Wonderful band. Great Songs.
I forgot how great this song is. I still have my first FOS on vinyl. I have slept on this album, song and now a 2024 revisit. Absolutely, brilliant...
Just the first 10 seconds hit me with goosebumps. What a classic and beautiful song 🎵 😍 Cheers 🍻 mates 👍
I can really smell the sea when I hear this song. Glory 80s.
Love this video. i'm a 90's baby but i love this song and band.
Love this song. We were there at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland in 2018.
I started working with my dad not long ago. During our car rides he listens so some 80’s music. I’m starting to appreciate them more every day. I guess this type of music will never die if we pass it on to the next generation.
A flock of Seagulls. - The More You Live, The More You 💕
I haven’t heard this song before but I’m really loving listening to it.
Well done guys.
Keep listening.. it gets better ❤️
The first time I heard this song was in 2014 Ifell in love with it immediately. I listened it on a radio and I didn't know who was singing it. I heard it once and searched it I couldn't find it... I never gave up on searching until I found it... 10 Jan 2024 is when I found this amazing song. 10 years of searching
I'm here digging this music after living through it back in the 80s I'm 65 now but not a regret for God has blessed me with a beautiful memory and peace about everything.
Great to see The Flock on original video after all these years. The 80's lives on in our hearts and minds.
I second that mikser
and i agree with all you said mikser just wish i could go back to the 80s .
Ever and Ever.................
don’t we all
This sound is the essence of the eighties,this time of memories
You're right, Yes, it's the essence of the great 80's. The sound of this era was warm and cold at the same time, perfect for pop music. They don't make music like that anymore.
This sound ... is the really essence for the eighties? even close, man. I like A flock of Seagulls since "Modern love is authomatic", got the 45", but is really far from main 80's influence, only is one of the hundred streams.
TheItalodancers Amen brother!
MAN THAT GUITAR GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!! OMG I WISH THE EIGHTES NEVER ENDED!!! IT SUCKS KNOWING IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!! I WAS BORN IN 1980 SO IM PROUD OF THAT! GOD BLESS THE 80'S THANKYOU!!
Good memories are indelible
The "Flock" brought Synth to the mainstream pop world.....what a loss it would be for those who never got to hear them....
❤❤❤❤❤PURE 80S POWER..PURE CLASS .👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰INOLVIDABLE
Los 80 una época legendaria, todos estos temas siempre vivirán en nuestras mentes.... Que viva los 80.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
es la mejor década de la musica los 80
eso es lo que te han dicho,te has parado a pensar. Sabias que en los 90 se decía lo mismo de los 70,y los 70 se añoraban los 50.
Década maravillosa

You never give your heart to a stranger.
Or tell your secrets to a friend.
You'll put your heart in mortal danger.
They all desert you in the end.
The more you live the more you love.
Or so they say: The more you love the more you go away.
They say that nothing last forever.
And even true love turns to pain.
Don't trust your feelings to a stranger.
Don't want to ever do this again.
The more you live the more you love.
Or so they say: The more you love the more you go away...(2×)
Don't ever give your heart to a stranger.
Don't ever think that you can hold on.
You'll put your heart in mortal danger.
You turn around and love has gone.
The more you live the more you love.
Or so they say: The more you love the more you go away...(3×)
The end!!!
This was my favourite of all their stuff. FoS was brilliant band as was the 80's. Why did the 80's have to end? I miss it all still, mid 50's and I still can't let it go. Real music, proper music, original not like the fabricated crap the weirdos and 5 minute wonder groups turn out now.
There is a documentary on the tube somewhere about some guy who bought FoS back for a reunion. Worth a watch.
Hear hear mate 👍 I’ve seen that reunion documentary...BRILLIANT!!
