Much like Blondie and Missing Persons, this is new wave in it's purest form, which is basically punk rock chords played with synthesizers. That's why it's so good.
I heard a punk remake of this song before listening to the original. I was thinking it's a perfect song for a punk remake so your explanation makes a lot of sense.
Terri Nunn in her late 50's is still amazingly beautiful. Her voice is incredible and real. Pop music in the 80s was far superior than today. No autotune, real musicians, writing and playing songs. This is an 80's pop music masterpiece.
I bought Berlin's cassette "Pleasure Victim" in 1982 when i was 14 and listened to the hell out of it. I had never heard anything like it before or since. I had heard Human League and Missing Persons, and they are great, BUT there is something melancholy and great about Berlin and the wonderful voice of TERRI NUNN!!! I had/still have a crush on Terri.... Yeah! Thumbs up if you love Terri Nunn and Berlin! :)
DR. HOUSE M.D., so did l! I wore that tape out! Lol! I had her poster in my room too. She was and still is my idol. Saw her a couple months ago and was sooooo star struck. Still beautiful after all these yrs. I guess it pays to be vegetarian. 🌹❤️
I'm alone sitting with my empty glass My four walls follow me through my past I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain And you were waiting there swimming through apologies I remember searching for the perfect words I was hoping you might change your mind I remember a soldier sleeping next to me Riding on the metro You wore white smiling as you took my hand So removed we spoke of wintertime in France Minutes passed with shallow words Years have passed and still the hurt I can see you now smiling as I pulled away I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand "I'll love you always" filled my eyes I remember a night we walked along the Seine Riding on the metro I remember a feeling coming over me The soldier turned, then looked away I remember hating you for loving me Riding on the metro I'm alone sitting with my broken glass My four walls follow me through my past I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain And you were waiting there swimming through apologies - sorry I remember searching for the perfect words I was hoping you might change your mind I remember a soldier sleeping next to me Riding on the metro
I'm 16 years old and I'm so thankful to my dad because he was the one who taught me all the 80's songs and I'm so proud of that because I love them so much ❤️ I'm so sick of the technologhy and modern stuff.. I just wanna turn back the time and live 80's life.
I remember living my childhood in Orange County California living music from the age of 6 not understanding why o wanted so much to feel the feelings of love that music taught me before i was old enuff to understand to crave. ..:))
dean b , well like the 80s has died so will all of Berlins fans be dying soon. Probably from commenting on other senior citizens comments about Berlin, It's a shame no one will miss these chats.
@@johnsmith9067 The 80's isn't dead, especially in the hearts of the metal-heads of that time. And I'm not a senior citizen, nor am I dying anytime soon. What a morbid comment.
Remember living in BOYLE HEIGHTS 😔 Right next to downtown LA😔this song was playing and I couldn't realized I was in such a big crazy city😔 listening to this crazy song😔
I remember there was a club in Riverside called the Metro in the 90's. I would go on fridays which was goth nights. I'd always put this song on and change the words to "Friday at the Metro"
I just sat in my car running thru this song 2x, - creative song as well as video from my 80's - then read your comment. 😯 so true... My son would have become so annoyed. Thx 4 sharing
One of those amazing songs I would listen to the radio for weeks trying get a good recording of. Any cassette lucky enough to tape a song this good never got erased. I didn't know who it was by then, but you could mash this gem between pretty much any two other tracks and it would be interesting.
I heard the SOAD cover first and decided to check the original out later. I can't really say definitively which is better because of how different they are, but both are great in their own right. Also, I admire SOAD's ability to make covers that fit their own style rather than sticking close to the sound of the original both their cover of this song and their Snowblind cover are amazing.
Omg! I haven’t heard this is so long. I remembered listening to this all the time and singing along!! Wow it’s crazy how a song can take you back in time.🎶🎤
I was homeless in Jacksonville FA...sleeping in a car. Soooooo many years ago. Now I have a home and security. I was never so alive as I was then!! Riding on the Metro!!!.....
The synth solo rips!! I remember this tune back then - it was part of the whole synth pop music scene. Heard it at clubs a lot but it was more background music back then. It wasn’t a band I wanted to go see in concert. Now I think it was really interesting sound and production. Definitely the epitome of 80’s pop music sound.
I was 6 when this song came out and one of my earliest memories watching MTV. My mom was pretty chill and used to let me watch videos with her. I love this song so much as it takes me back to my childhood and it's pretty great!
You wore white, smiling as you took my hand So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France Minutes passed with shallow words Years have passed and still the hurt Oh, I can see you now, smiling as I pulled away

This song has been stuck in my head for over 3 decades. I love it.
Here's to 3 more decades.
The melody sounds similar to the movie phantasm the piano part
@@flamboiyenttalk7039The melody part gave me goosebumps.
Teri Nunn looks even better today at age 61.
She came through my city and did a free concert, got to see this live
I'm 51 now, and I'm having a serious 80's flashback ❤❤❤❤
I accompany you my love....
The 80s to me was the best decade for music a wide variety of music!!!
It's ok your not alone, be strong you will get through this 😮
Still love this song! Who's still listening to it in 2024???
im listening now because of System of a Down make a cover and i was courius
Me ❤
Why the hell does everyone say that? Yes I’m interested in listening to it. That’s why I’m here.
yoooo y no es de mi epoca
I also Love This Song. I still listen to it in 2024!
The singer is Beautiful !!!!
I could honestly listen to this song over and over again...
Try system of a down - metro. You will be suprised
What? I can't hear you....I'm listening to this song over and over again!
@@JO-ly3hi
Right on🤙

Nothing like the OG song from Berlin..A re-make of this song is Not da same! I'm a died hard fan..
I honestly do it

I heard a punk remake of this song before listening to the original. I was thinking it's a perfect song for a punk remake so your explanation makes a lot of sense.
why'd people stop making 80s music?
@@HOWYOUDOIN884 you could see if Synthwave or Future Funk fills that void for you? It's not the same but definitely has that 80's feel
Blondie did punk, new wave, disco, rap, reggae, and more! Quite a versatile group.
the early cure epitomized this....
The parties in the 80s must have been great with this music
They were
Rule One: Nobody goes out until 1am
Definitely were, though our fashion sense sucked...
Yes they were! 👍🏼
They were amazing!

Autotune. Is that what makes today’s music so flat, tinny, repetitive without substance?
God's, I love this song!
most music of today is utter garbage
She auditioned to play Princess Leia.
Until she passed unfortunately Olivia Newton John’s irrepressible beauty was ageless
I think this song rocks as hard in 2023 and it did in 1982. Who agrees with me?
Hella agreed 🤝
For sure! 2023
And 2023. Terri Nunn is hypnotic.
2024! And on!!
Sorry!°
1000 times better than their big hit "Take My Breath Away."
Only 1,000?
I totally agree
Yep!
Wow malls arcades Mtv, those were the days to be a teen.

Berlin is one of the underrated 80s bands.... their early stuff was new wave perfection!
Yes fantastic

Had a chance to dance alongside Terri, didn't...ugh!
DR. HOUSE M.D. 😎
An underrated '80s song. The definitive "techno-pop" song.
Oh yes, such a great song from the early 80's new wave period. Back when MTV had a pair, and actually played videos.
I loved, and still love, new wave music
Bunker Sieben
The best
Back when the M in MTV stood for music not morons!
no kidding totally agree, I watched as a HS kid MTV start in 1980 ,
I grew up on MTV when actual music videos were played it was a beautiful thing.
I'm alone sitting with my empty glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro
You wore white smiling as you took my hand
So removed we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now smiling as I pulled away
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the metro
I'm alone sitting with my broken glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies - sorry
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro
Thanks!
i was watching some people exploring the paris catacombs and I thought of this song and ended up here!
Thanks, now I know she says "Swimming through apologies," and not "Swimming through a pile of jizz."
thanks

The 80's rocked, a great time to grow up.
I grew up in the '90s, and still remember being amazed how much better the '80s music was than even the '90s..
Me 2❤
Same im a teenager and my parents introduced me to so much music especially from the 80s i am so glad they did
OMG I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!!!!!!!
I actually rode the metro in Berlin once and--guess what!!--this song was running through my head the whole time!
Aww bucket list :)
I had a similar experience listening to this song on my MiniDisc player on the DC Metro about 20 years ago.
That synth solo is everything.
The metro one of the best 80s song of all time, Berlin I always love your songs.
Saw Berlin Friday in Philadelphia. Terri is still amazing
I saw them in 2004 in Las Vegas.
I met Terri Nunn and got her autograph.
This is the first time I've heard this original version and it makes me appreciate just how amazing the SOAD cover actually is.
I know this song because of Rabbit Junk cover. Both versions good enough.
Alkaline Trio also made one, it sounds great as pop punk.
Hey Dan you can't quaite compare different genres. It's like compering apples and oranges.
The System of a Down version doesn't compare musically to this version, although they deserve credit for such a comprehensive remaking of the song.
I love when this song comes on. I go hard
"I remember hating you for loving me " I've always thought that was one of the best lines in a song ever.
Well, you should see what System Of A Down made of this line.
Fun fact: Terri Nunn was an aspiring actress who auditioned for the Princess Leia role in "Star Wars."
Still listening to this in 2018, over and over and over again...
Bible Illustrated yeah!
Heck, who isn't? The music today and for the last thirteen years is shit.
rock a Billy
These songs will die with our generation!! Love the 80's!!
June 6th. Argentina.
I remember living my childhood in Orange County California living music from the age of 6 not understanding why o wanted so much to feel the feelings of love that music taught me before i was old enuff to understand to crave. ..:))
I wish more people had loved them! 1 of the best synth-pop bands of the 80s.

The 80's isn't dead, especially in the hearts of the metal-heads of that time.

What a morbid comment.
I loved this group. Lead singer was such a beauty.
She still is.
@@xendava7217 In her 60s now, still hot.
Happy 62nd Birthday Terri Kathleen Nunn!(Born June 26, 1961)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🎀🌷🌹💐👍👏🙌
You can't get more Atari early 80's, than this song. Friggin classic.
Funny, and you're correct.
Total classic!
God Terri Nunn was so hot Perfect 80s Hair ,, STILL IS shes in her 50s now !!! Still very good looking
😂 I’m still rocking this song from day one !❤
System of A Down did a cover on this song?? That's crazy!!
TheShowstoperrules Definitely Daron’s idea
TheShowstoperrules
It was a good cover
A lot who like the original say it sucked but I loved that they bent it to fit their style
WildFrito same, it was just a great cover
I love how the “Paris train to London rain” bit prefigured the opening of the Eurostar by over a decade...
Remember living in BOYLE HEIGHTS 😔 Right next to downtown LA😔this song was playing and I couldn't realized I was in such a big crazy city😔 listening to this crazy song😔
One of my favorite 80's songs! I miss the 80's!!
This song is the same age as me! I had a heavy crush on Terri Nunn. She would've been great on any primetime soap in that wonderful decade.
Dad loves to play this song on our car trips. Good vibes.
These days seem so much more stressful than back then . I'm 53 and it's a time I will always cherish.
I know what you mean I'm 54
Man. This song reminds me of 80s dance clubs. A happier time..😊😊
I remember there was a club in Riverside called the Metro in the 90's. I would go on fridays which was goth nights. I'd always put this song on and change the words to "Friday at the Metro"
Great song for running 3 miles around town and to go workout at the gym
Never heard this song until I watched "Bands Reunited" on VH1 in 2004. Great song.
hawaiidream1 SAME! love this song
Me too!!!!
Discovered this in 2013, and would listen on occasion. It reminds me of when I'm traveling by myself in solo trips to Europe.
The synth solo at 1:58 absolutely screams bloody murder! Love this track!
2019 and I still love to listen to this song loud af in my car... kids hating me for it... lol
Yes yes keep doing it.

Saw them at US Festival 1983 on May 30, 1983..Good Times
Underrated band from the 80's. Glad to see Teri Nunn going around still with Berlin. Shes looking better than ever!!
Ahh... back in the days when synthesizers blew up consoles and PA's lol...
NXS Productions the same time as a
I read your comment exactly when the solo began at 1:58
Lest we forget Thomas Dolby.
@@scotsimmons3905 One of the Gods of the synth. No one is forgetting Sir Dolby.
We were spoiled with amazing music during this time... and this is just one example of many on why the 80s were as great as they were!
Such an underrated band. Takes me waaaaay back
Doesn't get any more '80s than this ...
yes

Check out SSQ Anonymous, by far some of the best synth pop.
In the best sense.
Great video and song is never going to derail.
Omg! I haven’t heard this is so long. I remembered listening to this all the time and singing along!! Wow it’s crazy how a song can take you back in time.🎶🎤
One of my favorite songs by Berlin! Pure perfection!
This song gives me that 80's feeling every time I hear it. Getting old sucks.
I was homeless in Jacksonville FA...sleeping in a car. Soooooo many years ago. Now I have a home and security. I was never so alive as I was then!! Riding on the Metro!!!.....
I played the shit out of this cassette. Terri Nunn’s voice is incredible! Masquerade was another great song of this album Pleasure Victim.
'80s music is so cool
Terri Nunn❤️❤️ Always had such a young teenage crush on her.
Iconic indeed. It never gets old. Now my 19 year old is singing and dancing to it. Music that rocks....
Born in the late 1980s
I love this 🎶 🎵 ❤
An essential 80’s classic, I was 12.
This song makes me feel nostalgia and I wasn’t even born until ‘89!
both the original and the cover are amazing
Best off all the Berlin songs (and there were a handful of great songs from this group). Love it!!!
I love 80s music
Berlin was gorgeous! I love 80's music 💓
Your a hottie also'!!!😘
Terri Nunn...bonafide hottie!
u as well
what's ur sc
ASL?
I still love this song.
Took me 31 years to finally see this video. I recall this song in Fall-87'
I love this song! It came out in 1983! My senior year in high school! One of the greatest years of my life! Wish I could re-live it!
First, it came in 1981 then re-released in 1983.

They have that rarest of artistic talents- unique!
Usually you know it's one of their songs within a note or two..
This 80s tune is a whole mood.
❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️
Totally agree!
*A TIMELESS CLASSIC, RIGHT HERE!*
I was 6 when this song came out and one of my earliest memories watching MTV. My mom was pretty chill and used to let me watch videos with her. I love this song so much as it takes me back to my childhood and it's pretty great!
Another Brick in the 80's Gold Wall of Music!
I always associate this song with the beach because my Dad always played this song on the way there. Love it!
This song was way ahead of its time !!! Love it and I wasn’t even born yet
My love fest with the '80's brought me here!
I'm still dancing to this!!!
You wore white, smiling as you took my hand
So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
Oh, I can see you now, smiling as I pulled away
80s RULE!!!!!
Best era of music !!!
2019 and this song still holds it own. Awesome tune!
Tune, great music and one of the best singers that we’ve had the privilege to hear, Terri is and always will be quality
Love this song when it came out and still to this day
And "swimming through a pile of cheese" is epic!😀

Swimming through apologies.
Such an underrated group! Loved them back then and hearing their songs now brings back some of the best memories ❤
I've been looking for this song for years
Love the song I was so young and thought she was so beautiful.
Terri so beautiful and great voice!
this is the epitome of the 80s.
Brilliant. I miss the 80s ...
Saw them in pa yesterday…..fire!
My favorite song by Berlin❤
The 80's! I love that period in my life! The music of that time is the Best in my opinion.
Been in love with Terri Nunn since 1982 and still going strong!
Absolutely breathtaking! ;-)
This song went hard when I was 13 and it still does!!!! Iconic 👌👌🔥
I would love to go back to the '80s.
She's just so fucking beautiful
