This wonderful song, this warm, expressive voice bring tears to my eyes. Why, oh why did this great artist have to die so early, and why, oh why did this wonderful voice fade out so soon... Rest in peace, unforgettable Robert. Your music has made you immortal.
P&O used it for their TV adverts around the time of the 1998 World Cup. I found that sound weirdly nostalgic then,but for the early/mid 80s,our family trips to continental Europe and the early computing/gaming I was interested in and colour drawings,charts,diagrams I liked to make then.
My Dad was a great Al Bowly fan, and I love Robert Palmer! So first time I heard Robert's version, I was delighted. I had picked up a tape in a record shop in Perth, (on holiday in Scotland), played it in the car, little did I know it was causing some uncomfortable feelings for my husband, who was cheating on me with someone he met at work. Still love the song though!
Letra: Riptide caught in a riptide, torn between two loves The old and the new Riptide lost in a riptide Where will it take me what shall I do? My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion One love offers romance The other devotion A new love is calling The old love is pleading I'm caught in a riptide what shall I do? Riptide caught in a riptide, torn between two loves The old and the new Riptide lost in a riptide Where will it take me what shall I do?
You left us too soon Robert I always wanted a man like you and I’m still looking will I never find you I still love you Robert to the day I die 💋💋💋❤️❤️
I seem to remember the BBC using the instrumental opening to this as the theme to the European Athletics Championships in September 1986,held in Stuttgart I think.
I remember it from the BBC athletics as the theme. Some viewers to 'Points of View' queried why this slow music piece replaced a more lively sporty one from the previous BBC athletics coverage.
@@deldirk7123 I don't remember it being used as a long term replacement,possibly for just these championships.It was a current Album/Single at the time,so maybe just caught the producers ear....
Correction: was their coverage of the 1987 World Athletics Championships in Rome Italy. I remember cos I was glued to it everyday & remember that tune. Just found this. Oooo, Memories...😊 ruclips.net/video/BfpCG0Iehj4/видео.html
Just came across this video and I'm sorry to say it falls flat for me. Whoever conceived this concept did not do Robert any justice. Check out original version of song by Al Bowlly - linked below by Alan O'Neill. . It's a terrific piece of work. RP deserved better.
This whole album is brilliant love those funky grooves.
a dedicated singer, musician, artist. very talented, and we all miss him. RIP great vocalist.
Yiou left us some great music, RIP Robert Palmer.
Pure class wish it lasted longer I,ll just have too play it again

Love that old cinema organ sound
Been fascinated with this melody since it was used in the Michael Palin series on Europe - so pleased to have found
Ill have to rewatch it to catch the song!

Was always a huge fan of this, Looking For Clues, Johnny & Mary... he was such a great talent and still very much missed.
Always breaks my heart. Gone too young

Goldrush records by any chance? (I'm from Perth)
Have just discovered this superb piece of music; we don't get much 'real' music out here on Ragged Island (Bahamas). Superb!
Oh my..
Al Bowly and Robert Palmer !!!! Congrats for your music taste !!!
Robert is cooler than the other side of the pillow. 😊
It carries me far far away in space and time. Great track
Masterpiece!!
It's so beautiful 😢
What a fantastic version. 😊
The great Robert Palmer
Love this!
GREAT HAIR!
Letra:
Riptide caught in a riptide, torn between two loves
The old and the new
Riptide lost in a riptide
Where will it take me what shall I do?
My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion
One love offers romance
The other devotion
A new love is calling
The old love is pleading
I'm caught in a riptide what shall I do?
Riptide caught in a riptide, torn between two loves
The old and the new
Riptide lost in a riptide
Where will it take me what shall I do?
Aw, now I have to listen to the earlier Al Bowly version.
BANGER!
Takes me way back to my school days
Reminds me of my dad.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
HOW DO YOU TELL COMMS ???
Magical......
class!!
Not too long at all. Great song from the late Mr Palmer.
short...but very sweet
Cool guy, good dresser.
he sure could wear a suit…
Classy number by a great Artist
You left us too soon Robert I always wanted a man like you and I’m still looking will I never find you I still love you Robert to the day I die 💋💋💋❤️❤️
This song is hot 😊 !
What a great song! Would never have heard it were it not for DDS
P&O Stena Line. Where times sail by.
Looks like at least two of the same ladies that were in the "Addicted To Love" music video.
Facts
BBC tracked it down for me (ex Palin prog) - thanks Ana & Neil.
Man! he had good taste in women.
The first appearance of those ladies with iconic hair and makeup
Death’s Dynamic Shroud.wmv is genius for having the best samples. What a song.

I remember them using The Way it Is by Bruce Hornsby & the Range for that,with that song having just been a hit that summer.
Your right!! It’s took me 30 odd years to find this and I love it! 👏🏻

00:17 thinly "veiled" reference to the Alan Parsons Eve album cover.
Superfine artist with very distinctive vocal style
Too short but I like the video
Bet his wife liked this !!
Walk of shame music 🎶
Sicuramente anche questo video è del grande Donovan

The same dolly birds from his other videos 🤣
only 2:25..🥲
If I play the music do I get the girls?
Oh uhm.. great?
Nice song, but too long
skintrade It is aptly fitting in the album because of it's short but atmospheric set up of the album.
It seemed more like 1:25 than 2:25 to me.
