One of my favourite Canadian bands! Synced up some concert footage with the album version of the song. Did some tweaking to the video footage as well. Hope you enjoy!!
He he, I´m 62 😉. What a great Time of Rockmusic. Saga, Journey, Boston, Ted Nugent, Rush and unforgettable the Band Heart. That was my most exciting time.
I want to live in that world too! But not only this song, Billy Squier, Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, Styx, Asia, Boston, Bryan Adams, Survivor and Pat Benatar’s music blasting too!! How much would I have to pay to make that happen??
I owned this album when I was a kid, and all the music on it was great! Saga was an amazing band that was underrated!! I’m 54 years old now, and I’m so glad that I found this video. It brings back a lot of memories!! ❤
Bought the album while I was stationed at Seymour Johnson afb after the song came out and the original MTV played it . We had just received cable in the barracks. Some ridiculous low price to have it hooked up in individual rooms. Only a few of us had it and naturally those were the rooms where several people gathered on a Friday and Saturday night partying like there was no tomorrow. Lol Anyway with all the good videos and music when SAGA came on we knew it was time to party .
I was a young A1C myself in Colorado Springs when this album “Worlds Apart” came out. I went right out and bought it just because of this song and video. I remember also when the video premiered on MTV. Incidentally, I also remember the premiere of MTV in Aug 1981, that same year. I don’t remember having cable TV in the barracks, but the year prior I had met my future wife, and moved into her apartment with her, and was sitting on the couch in our apartment living room watching that premiere when MTV came on air. I’ll never forget that day. Of course MTV is pure crap now. I don’t remember much about this album other than this song, so I guess I need to go to the closet and search all my old vinyl and spin it once again. I still have all my original stereo components that I bought while overseas in the late 80s. And here I am at age 66, still enjoying it. 🙂
Bought Tickets to Pat Benatar 1983 got 3rd Row center a week before the concert, Saga opened for Pat, a loud great time to be had, Pat's husband is a great guitar player !
I hear ya. Surprised that these so called rock stations on radio don't play it . Especially on a Friday or saturday night. Then again , they play the same lame music over and over from morning until night then repeat it again and again. No originally.
Only those who lived it can truly ever really understand....it was unbelievable and neat in every manner. It went by fast and left a big skid mark on the music world. 60's music was okay. 70's was good. 80's was THE ULTIMATE AND IT NEVER GOT BETTER in the 90's and beyond. In 2023 the 80's rule! A fact cemented in concrete. The 80's made the 70's band follow the lead or fade. 70's bands became way bigger in popularity in the 80's....Journey. Foriegner. Styx....Kiss....Aerosmith....yes....genesis....REO.....cheap trick....on and on.
Wow! Synth Rock at it's very finest form of refinement! These guys have the energy of an exploding Supernova. And it is all spent positively and well!!! Thank you Saga!!!
The song, the riffs, keyboards, such a cool song. But the Vocals are Insane, so Clean, Crisp !!!!!!!! 55 Yr old. Loved this song since day one. R&R will never die
I can't believe Saga actually visited my small norwegian town's musical festival july 2022. Their set was so epic and made us norwgian fans go nuts! Saga forever!
One of the best 80's song of all time. This song is a true time machine it made me feel everything that was going on in my life at that time!!! 80's rule!!!
The keyboard & guitar duets are so well arranged and performed. IMO this band was one of those that should have been bigger than they were. Another was Steelhouse Lane. Unfortunately lots of those in the 80s -- awesome time for rock and roll.
@Mikey Mike i ride my bike all over both for recreation and necessity… this will be a good addition to my 3am recreational howl at the moon type of songs
Saga is the most otherworldly band on earth! Their music really speaks to me, I wish I was alive in the 80s so I could have seen them…so unfair that I caught them when the band is so much older now. Michael Sadler is such a heartthrob during the worlds apart era…
for sure, he's a hottie! and he looked so handsome in that tux in the "wind him up" video....and, an eternal thanks to the stylist that dressed him for this video!!!
I saw the band open for Jethro Tull on their "Broadsword and the Beast" tour at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. They started off with this very song. I'd never heard of them before but I went out and bought the album that week. One of the most impressive live bands I've ever seen.
@@donaldlamkin1305 Broadsword tour would have been my first Tull show , but Ian wasn’t feeling well and cancelled the day of the show, Ottawa Ontario Canada 😢 Saga still gets airplay here in Canada!
@@donaldlamkin1305 no I had to wait till the Under Wraps tour to finally see them , I saw them about a dozen times over the years , got to meet them in Saratoga Springs NY after the show , last time I saw them was 2007 in Calgary Alberta . I did see Martins band in 2022 , phenomenal show, he had Clive Bunker there on drums , Dan his vocalist is really great, if you get a chance to see The Martin Barre band I highly recommend them !
The lads from Australia. The Fixx. Love them. I don't entirely remember but I don't think they ever released a bad album. Least none of the ones I used to own. (Really long story.)
Same here. This song came out in my Junior year of high school and was definitely played at full volume in my car while aimlessly cruising around with my friends looking to meet some girls and find a party. Amazing how a song I haven’t heard in decades automatically transported me back to my youth. We never realized how good we had it back then in the 80s. Not a perfect world back then, but I wouldn’t change growing up back then for anything.
@@steveclark5206 You and me both! Little did we know that life was a whole lot simpler back then. Nope, not perfect but I sure would go back in a stone cold second!
Yep. There were even songs about the radio: "Turn Up the Radio" -- Autograph; "FM" -- Steely Dan; "Magic Power" -- Triumph; and my fave, "Spirit of the Radio" -- Rush
That mid-song combo of the keyboards and the guitar is one of my favorite things in the history of music. Loved it as a young kid when I first saw it on MTV and still loving it now. I have to rewind this part a few times every time I cue it up.
I remember this song well. What a great time to be on the loose, having moved out of the folks house at 19, and living on my own. Cinderblock shelving, with the "rented stereo system" from one of those furniture places to crank up this song.
This Friday marks the 45th anniversary of seeing Saga for the first time on my 18th birthday, 11-24-78 and I followed them to the last show of the farewell tour at the Phoenix although they still play local once in a while but Jim may have retired. We had so many great bands in Toronto in that era, I was so lucky to see them all at small clubs and back then we had a lot of great clubs. Times have changed, 2/3's of the clubs are gone and local talent does not get the chances bands had back then. I will never regret growing up in the 70's and 80's when you bought vinyl records and listened to them start to finish, as Gene Simmons said the record is dead once the CD era started.
Hadn't heard this song in decades. It popped up on my feed, and seemed vaguely familiar so I clicked... The second the music started it all came back. A lost classic from a decade of classics.
This is the one song you listened to back in the 80s that you forgot about, I totally did till I heard on satellite radio, awesome to listen to it in 2022 🤘🤘
I graduated from high school in 1983 and it was decided by the students, through a vote, that SAGA’s “On The Loose” would be Our Class of 83 class song. To be played at our commencement. It was denied by the principal and music teacher of the school. I still listen to this song as an anthem that the school system has not maintained a Control of us and our dreams.
Same here!! Class of 84. We chose Ramble on by Led Zeppelin and it was overturned by the principal. It was OUR song. They chose “through the years” by Kenny Rogers. Pathetic
Saw these guys back in the 80’s when they were hot and new. Amazing show in a small venue, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, and a memorable event! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
🎸🙋♀️Miss the 80s🤩 I played in high energy 80s hard rock bands & this was a fun song to play. My other guitarist played the synthesizer parts on guitar.
I watched many times, then noticed after the leads, Michael trips off a riser. I’ve tripped on stage a few times in my music career, then ran like I meant to do that Lol. But after he trips the line is “We may be heading for a fall” & he looks back at the riser. Haha
I was 20 in 81 and was really into the Prog groups like Yes, Tull ect and with New wave coming on the scene there wasn't too much new stuff I liked. This blew me away.
I saw Saga in Germany. They opened up for ZZ TOP. Those stadium shows were magic. Up close and personal. Love those memories. Have a great Holiday Season everyone!
I saw Saga at the very first Rock Am Ring at Nurburgring race track in June of 1985. It was my last big blowout before heading back to the States while deployed for the Army. Awesome show, beautiful weather, great people and music! Those were great days bros. I really miss them! You can find videos of the concert here on RUclips. Worth looking at!
I just fell in love with this song again. It had the quality and performance to be a classic. Strange how it just doesn’t happen for some great artists.
Wow his pants are really really white. I *loved* this song. Back in the day, you'd just have to wait and sometimes you got to hear it on the radio and most of the time you didn't. Thank you for uploading.

Its 2024, im 60 and still miss the 1980's...
Same here. 58 next month and the 80s were definitely awesome.
59 and I love the 80's.
Same here, 59. Class of 83, God I loved that time in my life. Great song!!!So much fun back then.
He he, I´m 62 😉. What a great Time of Rockmusic. Saga, Journey, Boston, Ted Nugent, Rush and unforgettable the Band Heart. That was my most exciting time.
They were the best times and we didn’t even know it!
I'm 54 & have always loved this song!!! Yes, they should have been bigger then they were, 80's were Awesome!!!
Same here. 80s were awesome!!!
80s forever! 🥰
Yes, they should have.
Same age, SAGA was best Band
My grandson jams to the 80's
I want to live in a world where this is popular and on the radio all the time again. Great band.
I want to live in that world too! But not only this song, Billy Squier, Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, Styx, Asia, Boston, Bryan Adams, Survivor and Pat Benatar’s music blasting too!! How much would I have to pay to make that happen??
A classic masterpiece when musicians crafted music magic!!
great comment👍🤘
The reason we know they are a great band NOW is because today's , so called music SUCKS😎😎😎😎😎
Saw them live in 84...opened for Pat Benetar...excellent!
I completely forgot about this great song. Very good song from a very underrated band. Man the 80’s were a great time to grow up and be a teenager.
Where’s Doc Brown’s time machine when you need it?
Weren’t they tho
WOW! I hadn't heard this song in nearly 40 years . I'd forgotten how good it was. Tour de force feel good song !
And yet you knew all the words, right? No idea when I last heard it either. Such a great song.
I owned this album when I was a kid, and all the music on it was great! Saga was an amazing band that was underrated!! I’m 54 years old now, and I’m so glad that I found this video. It brings back a lot of memories!! ❤
i am going to order that album from amazon right now = it is really as easy as that
I'm class of '86 and I remember this awesome song, brings back fond memories of the '80s!😎👍

Bought Tickets to Pat Benatar 1983 got 3rd Row center a week before the concert, Saga opened for Pat, a loud great time to be had, Pat's husband is a great guitar player !
This song comes out swinging like no other song. Epic scale.
I think I have listened to it 51k times
I hear ya. Surprised that these so called rock stations on radio don't play it . Especially on a Friday or saturday night. Then again , they play the same lame music over and over from morning until night then repeat it again and again. No originally.
@@edwardwritt3820 Probably all programmed and automated across thousands of stations. Horrible.
@@edwardwritt3820they are a Canadian band that never got much air play in the states.
Great song. I forgot about Saga. I'm 71. Thanks
Omg i forgot about them 2❗️❤️❤️❤️
53 and still jamming to this song!! A timeless classic
What an Era. Went by all too fast. This song is highly underrated.
Only those who lived it can truly ever really understand....it was unbelievable and neat in every manner. It went by fast and left a big skid mark on the music world. 60's music was okay. 70's was good. 80's was THE ULTIMATE AND IT NEVER GOT BETTER in the 90's and beyond. In 2023 the 80's rule!

Styx....Kiss....Aerosmith....yes....genesis....REO.....cheap trick....on and on.
Time waits for no one
Don't pay the Ferryman,cuz tonight your on the loose!
Went by fast is right!
What a decade. It did go to fast. Just remember "You never know what you had until it's gone FOREVER."
SAGA and Rush, Canadian Prog-Rock gods!
Oh yeah!! Neighbor!!! From: Bristol,TN. USA!!!!!
Triumph!
Can you mention Saga with Rush? Danny Ainge with Oscar Robertson.
Don't forget April Wine and Triumph !!!!!
And Prism
Wow! Synth Rock at it's very finest form of refinement! These guys have the energy of an exploding Supernova. And it is all spent positively and well!!! Thank you Saga!!!
1979 was when synth rock really took off.
@@toyman81Yeah but the introduction of the " Fairlight " synth was a tech Game changer, as " Asia" and YES used these extensively .
I'm 72. I remember this song from when I worked at Kmart in the 80's!
The song, the riffs, keyboards, such a cool song. But the Vocals are Insane, so Clean, Crisp !!!!!!!! 55 Yr old. Loved this song since day one. R&R will never die
This song, and Say What You Will by Fastway! Two very cool songs of this time, by two very underrated bands
Wow, Fastway! Great deep cut right there!
I can't believe Saga actually visited my small norwegian town's musical festival july 2022. Their set was so epic and made us norwgian fans go nuts! Saga forever!
Never gets old. That song is so powerful and reminiscent of the greatness of 80' rock!
One of the best 80's song of all time. This song is a true time machine it made me feel everything that was going on in my life at that time!!! 80's rule!!!
I wish i had better speakers to introduce my neighbors to this gem 💎
The keyboard & guitar duets are so well arranged and performed. IMO this band was one of those that should have been bigger than they were. Another was Steelhouse Lane. Unfortunately lots of those in the 80s -- awesome time for rock and roll.
I used this song many times to get pumped up before a BMX race back in the day…This is first place music right there!
great song to get pumped to
Crank this amazing song to 13!, and close your eyes and remember those days long past but close to your heart!
@Mikey Mike i love this song 🤷🏻♀️
@Mikey Mike i ride my bike all over both for recreation and necessity… this will be a good addition to my 3am recreational howl at the moon type of songs
@Mikey Mike thank you! I subscribed to you as well.
Right I'm like Think seen them open for journey in Detroit at Cobo Hall early 80's
Yes, so it is!
Wow, 1981, The 80's had just started and we as young adults were about to go on one hell of a great ride.
Saga is the most otherworldly band on earth! Their music really speaks to me, I wish I was alive in the 80s so I could have seen them…so unfair that I caught them when the band is so much older now. Michael Sadler is such a heartthrob during the worlds apart era…
i confirm some of their albums were outstanding experiences and its still fun to hear and see them here on you tube.
for sure, he's a hottie! and he looked so handsome in that tux in the "wind him up" video....and, an eternal thanks to the stylist that dressed him for this video!!!
This song is uniquely awesome! The vocals, the fantastic keyboards, the steady rhythm section, and Ian’s thrilling guitar are all 🔥!
I'm turning 54this year and must say this was the best aera ever.God how i miss these times.
This song and Lover Boy's Turn Me Loose just come out swinging after the intro!!! Miss the 70s and 80s.
I saw the band open for Jethro Tull on their "Broadsword and the Beast" tour at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. They started off with this very song. I'd never heard of them before but I went out and bought the album that week. One of the most impressive live bands I've ever seen.

Saga''s guitarist is really amazing.
Another priceless tune after all these years ❤
Caught SAGA in Concert back in the early 80's, then bought the cassette and played it thin! ❤
Saga and The Fix bring me back to my youth.
The lads from Australia. The Fixx. Love them. I don't entirely remember but I don't think they ever released a bad album. Least none of the ones I used to own. (Really long story.)

Still an amazing song in 2021
2023 😉 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I went to 2 concerts of Saga in Caracas - Venezuela in The Eighties Century 20. It was Spectacular 🎉🎉🎉🎉
One of my favorite solos of all time
That mid-song combo of the keyboards and the guitar is one of my favorite things in the history of music. Loved it as a young kid when I first saw it on MTV and still loving it now. I have to rewind this part a few times every time I cue it up.
Yeah, I always thought the keys were MIDI-triggered by the guitar until I saw this
I remember this song well.
What a great time to be on the loose, having moved out of the folks house at 19, and living on my own.
Cinderblock shelving, with the "rented stereo system" from one of those furniture places to crank up this song.
I FIND MYSELF OFTEN COMING BACK HERE TO HEAR THIS GREAT TUNE OVER & OVER& OVER AGAIN! IT NEVER GETS OLD , EVER! LOVE IT!
The 80's music the best of any generation..
66 and yet listen this Masterpiece

That's halarious and true
lol..........
Hey now. Mike Renos voice was stellar. But I love saga too. Xoxoxox
I seriously laughed out loud at this comment!
This post is like Loverboy, but I am not loving every minute of it.
Hadn't heard this song in decades. It popped up on my feed, and seemed vaguely familiar so I clicked... The second the music started it all came back. A lost classic from a decade of classics.

Havnt heard this in ages. my 1st concert, opened for J Giels.
My first concert with 13 years old, in Caracas Venezuela..., Love the 80`s!!!!!
The whole album was a masterpiece. & yes, too underrated.
VERY underrated, GREAT band! Love these guys!!
Its 2023 & I still play this on my IPOD.

@@MoonStoneAngel Haha. And Another One Bites The Dust by Queen is for “Shoot The Duck” skate.

LOVE SAGA!! Such an underrated band of the 80s. We Americans didn't really give them a chance. Aside from Rush another favorite band from Canada.
I HAVE AT ALL TIME'S LOVED AND SERIOUS HERO WORSHIPPED UNCLE~MR.IAN CRICHTON...
A PHENOMENAL GUITARIST AS WELL AS A PHENOMENAL BAND...GENIUS...
Band I was in in the early 80's opened for these guys . Nice dudes and they could play too !
This song still gives me chills up my spine❤👍✌️
GREAT MEMORIES of this Group and its AMAZING MUSIC!! Thank You for posting this Nostalgic Hit!! 👍♥️♥️♥️🎸🤟
I saw Saga at the very first Rock Am Ring at Nurburgring race track in June of 1985. It was my last big blowout before heading back to the States while deployed for the Army. Awesome show, beautiful weather, great people and music! Those were great days bros. I really miss them!
You can find videos of the concert here on RUclips. Worth looking at!
First concert I ever went to was Saga in Nuremberg Germany in 1980. Army brat who got to see a great show.
This song is so killer . Remeber when it came out MTV played it non stop. Better than anything out today and its over 40 yrs old!! Holds up well.
The best Band in my young Life , I never forget the Time 🎉❤
Wow, so long ago. I remember when these guys came out with this song, and I thought you couldn't be a rock star unless you made music like this.
I just fell in love with this song again. It had the quality and performance to be a classic. Strange how it just doesn’t happen for some great artists.
One of the best breakdowns ever! That super compressed Strat tone is so cool!
Great song!!!! Miss this type of music!!
I had completely forgotten about this song. After watching this video, I'm kind of glad I did. ;)
I just turned 59 five days ago. I bought this album when it came out. It is time to stand up humanity. Listen to the words! WAKE UP!!!
We The People. Time to stand up America. WAKE UP!!! ON THE LOOSE!!! LETS GO!!!!
Straight up classic! Brings it all back!
Bass line rocks on this song.
And he has a set of Moog Taurus pedals !
Saw them open for the Rush Permanent Waves tour. Been a fan ever since. Total bonus to have them as an opener.
Steve Negus. Another great lefty! Super talented, under-rated drummer!
Released in the U.S. on Portrait Records in late 1982.
Billboard charted in the U.S. on February 26, 1983.
Yep. Originally released in their home country in September 1981 on Maze Records
Got a lot of play on MTV, but I can't find the official video
Great band and was fortunate to see them up close/live during this time. Their earlier stuff was good, too.
Wow his pants are really really
white.
I *loved* this song. Back in the day, you'd just have to wait and sometimes you got to hear it on the radio and most of the time you didn't. Thank you for uploading.
55 and I had forgotten about this song. Brings back good memories!!
Those hairstyles bring back memories of my high school days.
Worlds Apart, what a great album with a ton of excellent tracks
An amazing musical performance on all fronts. Brilliant.
I play thier stuff all the time on guitar..I'm 51 I remember this when I was 9
Always liked this song * Oh those rockin times back in the day
absolutely LOVE this song!
Gen X here ; 1971…have always & will always ❤ this song! Whatever happened to them???
To me the Best Song by Saga. On The Loose.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I remember this so well! The sleeveless Japanese shirts were the rage at that time! This video as on heavy rotation on MTV at the time!
wow i remember that he was literally the biggest rock-star on MTV
what a great song!
More than 40 years and this song and World's apart in general is still touching me to tears of joy.
