At 51, I grow up heavily influenced by Nik's music. Human Racing and The Riddle were the sound track to my teenage years and helped me through some incredibly difficult times. Saw Nik only once (huge regrets not to see more, but going to Let's Rock Kent in 2021), at Ipswich Gaumont and was an amazing gig for The Riddle tour
When this came out I wasn´t even born yet, so I discovered Nik Kershaw by chance 10 years ago. I can never get enough of this album (Radio Musicola). The music is just perfect to me.
i am17 ive grown up listening to your songs you are the melody to my life i love you nik kershaw you are amazing my friends think im mad when i listen to your songs and im like you haven't lived if you dont know who nik is xxx
@@jessmonkey64 😂 I clicked replies as I was going to ask how you were doing now 7 years later... awww I hope you and your son are doing great and keep listening to quality music like this... :)
A typically ingenious 80s song. Anyone who grew up with such songs in the 80s can count themselves lucky. I definitely do. What a great time! Ein Typisch genialer 80er Song. Jeder der in den 80ern mit solchen Song's aufgewachsen ist kann sich glücklich Schätzen. Ich tu es auf jeden Fall. Was für eine schöne Zeit!
Lyrics: Halfway to paradise or so it seems that way same as anyone The same as any other day We seek eternity in all the things we buy not top priority but it sure figures very high Who steals the real world fooling us all as it goes and who gets to heaven heaven only knows When a heart beats, you can see forever when our time sleeps, you can be forever {Be forever~} *Guitar solo* Meanwhile in cuckoo land a most delightful place we look no further than the nose in front of our face No wood anywhere we can see only trees last train for material refugees When a heart beats, you can see forever when our time sleeps, you can be forever When a heart beats, you can see forever when our time sleeps, you can be forever {Be forever~} Don't concern yourself with matters past and future just put your mind to where they meet but when a heart beats fooling us all as as it goes who gets to heaven heaven only knows ~Music interlude~ When a heart beats, you can see forever when our time sleeps, you can be forever Be forever Be forever Be forever {Be forever~} Oooh~ {Be forever~} {Be forever~} Heart beats heart beats {Be forever~} Heart beats heart beats {Be forever~} {Be forever~} ....

this would of been great in one of the super hero films of the time it really has that feel about it, very prog rock, this song really represents everything that kershaw stands foir music wise tbh
Nik sure was gorgeous back in the day! I mean he was fine! And does good music, too! Wouldn't It Be Good is a pretty song! I know that this group called Danny Hutton Hitters did a rendition on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack.
Let’s not kid ourself nik kershaw was a talented individual u could play guitar and keyboard and when he retired he wrote songs for the latest pop acts the now ohh he wrote the song one and only for chesney hawks not sure tht deserves credit cause it’s chronic still a talented musician tho !
I’m 91 years old and remember this first time round rocking to this in my Vauxhall’ nova!👌
Cool ,so in 1986 ...so you was 57
Wowwww
Wow 91 can reminisce the good days now 2022 is pure misery and hell society no fun.
91? Wow 🤩
Man you definitely weren’t his target demographic
Nik Kershaw and Howard Jones the 80s kings.!!.
no doubt 🤗👍
I agreed
Howard Jones is more of a Duke or cabinet minister
Howard Jones?! only had one good song
Great music the 1980s
My favorite song by this guy. Something about that melody.
And the chord changes.
Same.
And great solo

im 17 too and i dont know anyone my age who likes his music or even any 80s musicians so it's nice to see this comment.
I'm 24 now and my son loves him too 🤣🤗💕

I loved this song and thought Nik was at his most handsome in this video
sounds like Mike Lindup and Mark King from Level 42 doing the backing vocals! The bass player here is even using a JD like Mark
This song is from a time when Mr. Kershaw wasn't afraid of taking risks as an artist, and made some genuinely exciting music
I loved Nik as did my serious girlfriend at the time, loved his music but was jealous of his looks! Forty years later still appreciate his talent
Nik kershaw Howard jones is like 80s lennon McCartney.
Omg yea
Big fan. Since I discovered The Riddle!! Just after 85.

Listening in 2021 - Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🙏👍
The best solo artist ever!!!!!
never realised how much I love a monobrow before ❤❤❤
He has beautiful eyes
at 1:30 - that must be one of the strangest guitar solos in 80's pop
+escaton74
Brilliantly strange
lol
He does things differently; that's genius.
It’s no that strange tbh goes in sync with the song
LMAO its almost like something Allan Holdsworth would write
Lyrics:
Halfway to paradise
or so it seems that way
same as anyone
The same as any other day
We seek eternity
in all the things we buy
not top priority
but it sure figures very high
Who steals the real world
fooling us all as it goes
and who gets to heaven
heaven only knows
When a heart beats, you can see forever
when our time sleeps, you can be forever
{Be forever~}
*Guitar solo*
Meanwhile in cuckoo land
a most delightful place
we look no further than
the nose in front of our face
No wood anywhere
we can see only trees
last train for
material refugees
When a heart beats, you can see forever
when our time sleeps, you can be forever
When a heart beats, you can see forever
when our time sleeps, you can be forever
{Be forever~}
Don't concern yourself
with matters past and future
just put your mind to where they meet
but when a heart beats
fooling us all as as it goes
who gets to heaven
heaven only knows
~Music interlude~
When a heart beats, you can see forever
when our time sleeps, you can be forever
Be forever
Be forever
Be forever
{Be forever~}
Oooh~
{Be forever~}
{Be forever~}
Heart beats
heart beats
{Be forever~}
Heart beats
heart beats
{Be forever~}
{Be forever~}
....
And me have been a metal and pop fan for years but Nik Kershaw is a gem that I will always remember absolutely brilliant I have loved your guitar work brilliant you truly put your name on the map thanks Nick Kershaw from one of your top fans in Galway Ireland 👍👍🤘🤘
Nick Kershaw was different to most british culture music. He was unique. His lirix were little strange. But really interesting character in music.
Something about my youth. Love it
when our time sleeps you can be forever...nik the best!!!
I agree... dont know why but search for nik kershaw and you always get the riddle. As much as I like that song I love this one!
Darth Peachy true story mate
I thought you'd also get Wouldn't it Be Good and I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me right at the top of a search list as well.
I remembered the big basket matches which I played listening this song, Incredible Nik
Not to mention his lovely hair!
Also hope this is on the 2023 Tour rotation ! Oh, and at The Stables in May !!! See you there !
Beauty of a man
The Good Old Days !
One of his best songs
Classic 80s
Love this, love your stuff been a fan for a long time :) Would love to see you in concert someday (saw you in 1984 :P)
Fantastic song, and the amazing Pino Palladino on bass.
Pino was on almost everybody’s tracks back then :-)
Most music in that time have almost the great bass in the music .but yes bass
Can’t avoid him!!
Très bon single pop/rock qui n'a pas eu le succès qu'il méritai
I remember buying the picture disc single :-) still love it
They obviously didn't have Health and Safety in the 80s! Shouldn't they have all been wearing hard hats?
(Great, highly underrated song though!)

Love this song
Fantastic musician. I hope the scaffolders were well paid for that staircase!
Meu coraçao estar a bater s2
this would of been great in one of the super hero films of the time it really has that feel about it, very prog rock, this song really represents everything that kershaw stands foir music wise tbh
Rocker Luke Skywalker!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Top class !
Nik sure was gorgeous back in the day! I mean he was fine! And does good music, too! Wouldn't It Be Good is a pretty song! I know that this group called Danny Hutton Hitters did a rendition on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack.
Good tune
super
It just occurred to me how much this set reminds me of Alice Cooper's Poison! All we need are some scantily clad women...
God did I have a crush on him!!! Still do!!
At the start this sounds like Robert Palmer 😁
高校の時の思い出の曲
Bangin choooooooooon.❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Love it...What cd is it from.
at the time it was a bonus track on the cd of Radio Musicola. one of his most under rated songs.
This is what Luke Skywalker would have been like if he was a rock star ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This was Nik Kershaw's last hit in the UK, All the other failed ot get in to the top 40- So glad he got rid of the mullet by this point :-]
mikey p noooooooo I'm so sad he got rid of ittttt
nice video
Let’s not kid ourself nik kershaw was a talented individual u could play guitar and keyboard and when he retired he wrote songs for the latest pop acts the now ohh he wrote the song one and only for chesney hawks not sure tht deserves credit cause it’s chronic still a talented musician tho !
🎭
nice one time fowARDS, AS REFLECTION
a real career killer! Not up to standards though still enjoyable
Edit: Definitely up to standards, love it
hahha the dark shadow :)
It's just as well Nik is small in stature - that scaffolding doesn't look like it would hold a lot of weight!
Tim Villa apart from tht song is good eh ?!
sigh xxxx
Who think, Nik it's SO HOT, rise hand ✋
I did. 😊
sandman 10 0'clock operators
