I moved from Detroit to Boston as a tag along with them summer 1986 and never looked back. Went to Cape Cod and Provincetown with them for their album cover photo shoot. Fun times.
OMG! I have not heard the song in forever. I have the 12 inch of this record locked up in my Storage. Love It!! L.A. in the HOUSE. KROQ rock of the 80's.
STORY: My new wave band in Detroit at the time was friends with FOAB, and played with them quite a bit. At the time I never knew the connection to the Godard film of the same name. Also, I used to go by "J" but they always called me Jean-Paul. I didn't get it. Until many years later when first watching the film is discovering the lead actors name is also Jean-Paul.
@@jean-paulbondy the name is familiar but I don't think I ever saw you. I didn't see FOAB live, they were already making it big when I became aware of them.
I remember my friends and I would hang out at a secret cove on Sunday at Griffith Park and watch people getting high on certain drugs and laugh at them. That was the first time I heard FOAB-Breathless. I never did drugs. But that was an experience watching people so wasted. It was so well hidden there would never be cops coming around. There would be a lot of people sitting on their cars and either listening to the radio to KROQ or cassette player. Good Times!

I still have the 12". Recoded in Detroit at some place that has to be gone by now. Michigander here.
Ive missed this terribly!! Thanks for posting, love FOAB!
I love the drum machine. Great snare work.
Simmons SDS-5
Detroit just seems to have the best music around.
We had a lot of bad music also. Like Ted Nugent
Oh Mike Halloran where are you now? You introduced so many to such great music!!!!
Great to hear this again. Another WLIR staple!!!
Ah yes. Thank you for remembering. WLIR WDRE and all the clubs. 👌
Almost forgotten, love this song!
Thanks for posting this. I could never find it on vinyl back in the day.
I still have it!
I got a copy on vinyl on eBay cause I could never buy everything I wanted when I was a teenager unfortunately.
Great song, brings me back to 80's!!
cool...shared to the Netshows Radio "Program 152" Playlist on youtube
anybody up for a Tony, Rik, and Chris reunion?
FOAB remind me of German Pop-Group Alphaville and also of Depeche Mode (UK) ... cool!
Still listening in Detroit 2024💪😎💯

Still a favorite of mine here in 2021
Great song. Wish I could figure out the words.
Love!

Wish it was available on iTunes 😞
I have the cassettes and CD"s. Can send you a copy?
I just downloaded from a site that let's you convert yt videos to mp3

Exactly!

There's a slowed down instrumental version of this song, and in my opinion sounds better.
