Absolutely!!
The fads
Whos still listening in 2024 😁😁 one of the best from the 80's
Me! It's been a while since I thought of it, so I searched came in. When it was on the Billboard chart, I was a 9th grader and now I'm in my 50s.
Me, I watched the movie too. It's such a good movie
I'm in Australia and a few radio stations have been playing this weekly atm
❤ me here in Idaho
Happy day!
I do at full VOLUME!! Even in work it's playing on the radio but at home, I put it to speakers
This takes me back to when I met my husband Gareth in the 80's. We had 34 yrs together lost him to cancer at 58 yrs old this takes me back to those lovely times. Love you Gar miss you love ❤️❤️
Not sure what to say. Most Gareth's her on, oddly. Sorry for your loss and god bless.x
Who’s listening in 2024??!!
I,m listening 🎧

I don’t always listen to Saint Elmo’s fire ...but when I do my neighbors do too
Keep listening my friend

@LogicalSchizoid tushfd
@LogicalSchizoid ... get yourself a life kiddo, go look for the attention elsewhere troll (yawn).
I still love the boundless optimism of the 80s. That feeling that life itself was a wonderful adventure and if you had the courage to take the reigns you could have it all.
I recall the same feeling of optimism and freedom I felt in the 90s.
amen
That is so true!! So young were we, so optimistic. Love this musical time machine!
This comment!! I'm born in 1994 and would kill to have been born 20 years earlier, music wise
Yes! Women began to know our value, we were all very hopeful about the explosion of technology, options widening, the world getting more accessible, but not too much so like today. We still had to go through more channels for things, but it taught us skills to last a lifetime. Gen X and very early millennials know this was a unique transition time that was so very special
The 80's was just as great as us Gen-X says it was. I'm very grateful that I was there to experience it. Great memories. Thank you.
I am SO happy that I got to grow up in the 80's and I'm so grateful that I got to hear these songs when they first came out. The memories I have attached to this song are AMAZING
Me too. ❤
I agree! The TV programs were so much better too! The A team, knight rider etc
preach 👍
Hell yes, so glad i grew up in the 80's but back then i didnt realize what an era it was
Me too! The best days of my life
The 80's what a time to be young.
so moving
it was the best
I need more music like this
..my childhood..and it was a wild brighter more romantic time..and so positive and fun
Turns out we were lucky as shit! Who ever thought we'd say that?
RUclips is my time machine. Takes me back to the 80's every day.
Yes, 80s the best decade of AOR, Westcoast, Melodichardrock, Hairymetal, Pop&NewWave, Soul, Funky, Jazzfunk, great Soundtracks era
Me too Amigo
🇨🇦😀🖖👊🌍
Yes top answer the question the best eever
Figure out a way to fuck up the continuum so we get stuck in the 80s!
We took the 80s for granted,
This is why they were
called
the awesome 80s.
Best decade for ever!
Absolutely
I thought my life would ALWAYS be like the 80s. I took it for granted... God what I'd give to go back
You just spoke my heart
truer words were never spoken. Never thought I would get "old!"
me too
Me to. I wish I knew now what I thought I knew then!
You and me both. I think we all took it for granted... We grew up in the best decade ever.
Songs like this are why the 80’s had the best music ever.
YES
And there after so many of them, just shows how good we had it back then
Await the invasion of the southern country's the 80s will vanish
Definitely not but your opinion too much of it sounded the same
@@Turnheadcough You sound jealous! You should be. 😂
hte 80s had it all...music, TV, movies, optimism, normal life !! i miss it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before everyone was apologising for everything, being cancelled or being told to feel bad about themselves.
U and me both.....if I had 1 wish is 2go back 2da 80s 1 more time....life was good people respected each other
@@geecee310 just enjoy the music ignore the craziness music is for our souls which no one can destroy
Optimism nailed it on the head
The 70s were 1,000 times better.
This song was out when I graduated College in 1985. Can't believe it is 39 years ago today. Here's to all fellow 1985 Graduates ❤🎉
Same here!❤
The worst part of the 80s? When it ended...
Yes my dude
😳
I remember my friends and I going to different high schools in 1990. A few moved with their parents to other cities all between 1989 and 1990. Yep it just ended.
True....so saad
The worst part of the 80-s was 90-s. It was a terrible time in my country.
The 80s had just the right balance of everything. We had a taste of technology but we didn't choke on it like we do today. Forever 80s ❤
Videos were sexy and awesome too!!
So true
True words 👍👍👍
4ever 80’s pal! 👊🏻
Forever 80^s alright. 2022///...👌🌺🌞😏💚🌰🍀
Released in 1985 just after my parents' bought there first home in the summer of that year - was about to start second grade in a new school district. This song is still burning in me 39 years later!!
"Their"
Born in 55 went through the 60s, 70s, 80 and nineties. Nothing can beat eighties music.
DITTO
Some might think it is cheesy, but I literally get goosebumps when I hear this song. Love it.
This song was actually inspired by the life story of a paraplegic Canadian Rick Hansen, whose ambitions for a better world for disabled people like him, made him tour around the world(on his wheelchair) to raise funds and awareness on spinal cord injuries which he suffered from his teenage years. His tour was called 'Man in Motion', it's also here in yt
@@sitadcada1787 Amazing history, greatly appreciate you sharing, makes the song better than ever!!!!
Same here! Can't help but crank this up and just let it take me back!
So do i and I was born in 96
Especially at about 2:30 in the song.
Never realised at the time just how special the 80s were. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I'd go back in a heartbeat too, if only a time machine were available.
Me too..
@@shervinbehrad1848 You do have a time machine, it's called RUclips. Lol
Same here Brother!
See you all in San Junipero.
Absolutely love this tune❤, don’t be sad the 80s are over, be happy they happened and you were there to live it💪🏼❤
so true
100%
❤❤
Absolutely
Well Said
Mr. Parr really captures the energy and emotion of this movie, of the whole 80s. Wow! Bravo!
When we were happy and didn't know it
Wow, yes!
CRiSTiAN Precisely. F*#% this virus
Bingo!
Yes.
exactly
Being young in the 80's was a great time, no social media crap, great music on the radio, and not to mention no mobile phones. It was a great time to be alive. The kids today don't know what they have missed. These are crazy times. Stay Safe everyone.
i grieve for the 80s . i blinked and i'm 51 .
You could fuck up and it wouldn’t be recorded for all eternity 😂😂😂
You said it. I graduated HS in 90’. I got to live my youth in the best decade ever. Wish I could go back and stay there. Those were the best times ever.
@@jasonlommen4769 I will build a time machine and we all go back, and have a great time. Because you are right, they were the best years to be alive in. Miss my youth and the great music.
Truly the best years of my life. We didn't even need cell phones, social media life was too exciting to live.
Born in 63 in lived through the 70's and 80's and that fabulous music will never return. What nowadays is called a musical talent, through some talent show (where the whole repertoire exists of one copied song) wouldn't even stand in the shadow of these wonderfull musical years.
I love how distinctive each decade was. 70's, 80's, 90's, etc. The 80's really added a modern feel to what the 70's had started, and absolutely paved the way for the 90's to come in hot. The 80's added a lot more guitar distortion, and electronic boosts to music in general. It's amazing how you can place the decade on a lot of music from these decades, and the 00's as well.
What a song. 1980-1989 was the best time on this planet.
The aesthetic of the 80s seems like it was more like 82-92. Takes a couple years for the feeling and the pop culture of a decade to really kick in (and the early 90s still seemed 80s)
Suuuure it was. Bar the impending nuclear doom, the ranging Aids epidemic, the War on Drug kicking into full steam, the race riots, the death of the Rust Belt, the various waves of terrorism sweeping across Europe, the crime rate being off the charts, the lead in the water etc. The bestest of times.
@@MikeBenko You're just a soyboy. You don't count.
@@ChristopherSaindon awwww cupcake. Did I hurt your fee-fees? Do you need a hug? Why are you so fragile?
Yes
Anyone else instantly taken back 35 years? This song does exactly that....
Mark O'Neill I was! I’m in only 28
Ooooo yes...does it ever....
taken right back to the womb
Oh yeah, to be back there now
Right back 35 years..i was 16 back then & lived through the glorious 80's.
The 80s is the best time to be young. The music, fashion and culture. Nothing beats the 80s!
I've only just graduated high school, and yet I was raised on the music of the 1980s and 1990s. This song in particular has always been a favorite of mine.
well done!
Thank your parents.
I am proud to be Gen-x person! The late 70s to late 80s was the best time to ever grow up.
So true
I was born in 88. Wish I got to experience the 80s!
That’s a boomer
Wouldn’t change a minute of it!
yep
"You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man!"
So much meaning in that sentence....
yes indeed, i agree with you it´s too wise ;)
so literal too...........perfectly describes Rick
Any man that's been in the military can relate to that.
' jus nuts ' you don't need to be a squaddie to relate to them lyrics !!! people in the ' real world ' probably have a lot more experience to relate to these lyrics !!! Most ex squaddies I know have repressed there emotions/feelings that long they don't know how they really feel !!! just saying!!! Feel free to tell me I'm wrong,
@@stephenchapman2332 How can I tell you that you are wrong? And WTF are "squaddies"?? Is that slang for soldiers? IDK.
There was something so innocent about the 80s. Freedom of expression was everywhere in fashion, music and tv and you could be yourself without fear of judgement or prejudice. Everyone was in their own lane living their own lives and we had no internet to warp our brains or openly share our opinions about everything and everyone that didn’t concern us. I’m so glad I was born in this era, everything about today makes me crave the old days so bad, we were living our best lives and didn’t even know it 😢
I hear you Sister.
Hindsight is always 2020
The first PFAs from Teflon pans were poisoning us while we innocently cooked our no brand canned goods with lead seams. Which we traded for BPAs.
Don't blind yourself, see the truth

@@user-ei2bd1en1hUm…that’s in exact direct opposition to the ideals listed here, but thanks for the suggestion.
1985 a great year for music and movies
Fun fact: The reason this was so motivational is because it was inspired by a man in a wheel chair. David Foster and John Parr were contracted to write a song for the film but Parr struggled with inspiration for the lyrics. Foster showed Parr a news clip about the Canadian athlete Rick Hansen who at the time was going around the world in his wheelchair to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries. His journey was called the "Man in Motion Tour." Parr decided to help the campaign by writing words that would fit vaguely with the film, but which directly referenced Hansen's efforts. Although public attention was low at the beginning of the tour, Hansen soon attracted international media attention as he progressed on a 26-month trek, logging 40,075 km through 34 countries on four continents (North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia) before crossing Canada. He averaged 8 hours of wheeling and 85 km a day. He was also inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2006 and was one of the final torchbearers in the 1988 Winter Olympics and the 2010 Winter Olympics.
It was funny because the song had nothing to do with that disaster of a film. I too looked up the origin of the song and found this info, making the song that is detached from the movie, make sense lol.
How long you were writing this? 1 hour?
@@oni5245 who cares how long it took? It’s appreciated by most people who scroll through the comments. Knowledge is a good thing.
@@canadianguy7777 No it fucking well isn't.
Great story. Thank you for sharing
I introduced myself 76 year old Dad to this tune in the car the other day, he cranked it up and turned up to give me a lift the next day playing it! Salute to my Dad!
Sorry Claire, but how do you introduce a man who was only 36 years old when this song came out. What was he living in a hole in the ground in the 80's. I am 20 years younger and even I know this song. I think you are telling lies or your dad was so drugged stuffed that he couldn't tell what year he was in. STOP YOUR LIES GIRL.
You have a really cool dad :)
@@LuisDiaz-zr2vs I do! Gonna really get his ear drums going crazy with some stuff I have lined up for him! Not sure how he managed to miss this one!
He's 76. He probably was just pretending that he could hear it.

@@jenniferdriggs8719 I was only 10 in 1989 but some buddies and I would have the radio on every Saturday night at work and we'd all bet when St. Elmo's Fire would be played on the retro jam. We'd have some little prize for the winner.

Yea it is!!!
yep. especially when Michael Johns sang this in David Foster's show!
The 80s had so many great songs
and fantastic movies.
The Soundtracks to the movies
made the 80s so damn awesome.
And mostly scored by Brits. How ironic, 200 years later.
In the 80s we had a lot of STARS everywhere: music, sports, etc.
Indeed !
A time of star wars, top gun and queen i wish i was there
@@zootsoot2006 did you mean 200 years after declaring independence from the British !? 🤔. Back to the music .yes it was amazing and i am blessed to have it as a soundtrack to my life !

So, I just watched this for the third time in my life ❤… I am now 53 and time has flown by. I’m glad I was able to watch this movie 🎥! The 80s were a blast for me 🥰
Amazing movie and soundtrack; STILL!!
During a time when music was great and life was so simple. Today’s kids will never know how great music was back in the 80’s.
60s - 90s are Untouchable decades that will be cherished FOREVER. 💕
You just made an extremely strong point!!!
Except 90s.
For me 60s till 2000s

If only we can go back to the 80s. When everything was less complicated,dramatic.! And the fashions!😊
We didn't know what we had growing up in the 80's..... Awesome Sauce!!!
I was 29 in 1985. Loved the 80s. I miss the 80s. Maybe I shouldn't wish this, but I wish I could re-live the 80s.
💪
To be fair I was born in 1997. And even I think that the 1980s was the Greatest music style of all time
1985 the year i was born! A special year for sure!
I don't think it would hurt any of us we had some good times and yes I would go back
1985 was the year I turned 13 and it was a cool year.
This reminds me of my youth. They were golden days. I can't believe how fast life moves on. It seems like yesterday.
Me too. I can't believe I'm still alive.
I absolutely HATE my 40s, lol... (sorry for the brutal honesty) These songs are definitely therapy.
yes agree feel the same , wish I could go back ,.....
I turned 21 in the summer of 1980. I got to spend my 20's enjoying this decade. What a great time I had. The music, movies, etc. and yes Reagan, it was a magical decade in my life. I'll always cherish the 80's. YT, thanks for the memories.
I've just been listening to classics for my whole life in the car so my music taste is stuck in the 80's even though I didn't even see the 2000's decade.
I'm 51 and the 80s was excellent for music I was so excited to be part ov it better music artists and better than what's out today love my singers songwriters people who don't copy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was an elementary school girl when I first heard and loved this song. I will be 50 next year. I still love it. 🎉❤
You're a superb judge. Have a bit on you, but this era was that good, I'm convinced today's generation would love it. ❤😂
Just looked it up, and indeed I was at Elementary School in Canada in about '88. Tiffany tape. Looking back, it might have worked for this Brit.
Me too! I was in elementary as well! Those days will NEVER come back. So sad these kids will not have that innocence. Yea, it wasn't perfect, but I still found it awesome! Great! Happy 50! I will be fifty this year. 🙂

It’s truly baffling how 2 or 3 decades later there is no songs as memorable that are uplifting and never get old like this
Because the spirit and soul of this country is gone and what remains is an empty husk now.
Nah, you got old, dude. Suck it up and make the best of it.
Yeah with songs like W.A.P. that's a true classic. I heard of it listened then looked up lyrics. Feminist ought be real proud of this future classic.
@@randolphpinkle4482 This song's greatness cannot be denied and has withstood the test of time. Suck on it!
There are great musicians who are producing great songs today, but they're not being marketed publicly or by anyone with the influential means to draw attention to them and it is by design in my opinion.
When thinking of the '80s, it is like a long lost friend...
I was born in 87. I’ve always loved 80s music to the music nowadays. Resonates with me so much proper lyrics that really cut deep. It’s like when I hear them I instantly feel happy
Fellow 80s kids let's keep our 80s decade spirit alive.

How about One Night in Bangkok. That has the line "I get my kicks above the waste line, Sunshine." Hard to top that one.

Absolutely! My own end of the secondary school and some of my comrades looks like the ones of the movie.
It’s definitely a motivational song and that’s not by accident. It was originally written for a Canadian guy who crossed the entire country in a wheelchair.

Call me crazy but I truly believe that during the 80s, earth was passing through a very positive energy zone in our Universe. I mean everything was great in general, music, movies, family, people could take a joke without getting offended, etc… What a great time it was to be alive and growing up! Miss those days!!
It was an unbelievable time to be alive and in your 20's. There was plenty of EVERYTHING to go around and believe me when i say that me and my friends took full advantage of all of it.

St Elmos Fire was huge when I was in high school.
One of the greatest songs from the '80's!! 💘 🎶 💃 🏫 👪 😍 🎼 🌈 🚗
And one of the greatest ALL TIME! 😎
😊
All the reasons I love the 80’s, nothing but pure, unadulterated motivation. Go be awesome!
Absolutely Agree
Yep! You could dream to be anything.
You get it!
On one hand I thought; it would be sweet to go back. On the other hand; I try to make now, just like then.
It’s 2024 and I still love this song
The 80s were the greatest decade adn the last great decade. If you werent there as a teen you missed out on the best era ever.
You just can't match this!!!The 80's had a feeling all its own.
had the most number 1 hits of any decade
Yeah, that feeling is called youth.
This is one of those songs that gives me goosebumps. Why don't they make songs like this anymore? I miss the days when songs were uplifting, inspiring, that made you feel like shooting for stars. That made believe anything was possible.
Totally. And the key changes… omg
LOLWUT?!🤣
@@KahlessTheUnforgettable If you grew up during the 80's, you would know what they're talking about.
@@westendgirl444 I grew up in the 80s honey; but I wasn’t listening to this corny dogshit.
Yep, go get the rocky 4 album for workout music
Wow, great rock anthem. That dude has a great voice and rocked that mullet
Dooood.
It's not a mullet. It's a bi-level haircut.
The 80s artists really knew how to use brass -- horns, sax, bass and more symphonic instruments -- to make their music epic. Not many do that today.
That was most of Toto and Jerry Hey playing on that record. Produced by David Foster. Sounds like it should have been on Chicago 17.
There are a few 80’s songs that can instantly transport me back to the 80’s. This is one of them. My mom driving me to baseball practice or swimming lessons in the summer as a kid. Great time to grow up.
Name a few more, I wanna make a nice CD. Cheers.
@@rzh3369 Not the guy you were responding to, and I was born in 2001 lol. But if I can contribute, I would also list off Danger Zone, Playing With The Boys, and I'm Free(Heaven Helps the Man) by Kenny Loggins. Then Gimme All Your Lovin, Sharp Dressed Man, I Need You Tonight, all by ZZ Top from Eliminator. Photograph and Rock of Ages by Def Leppard. Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross (1979 but still pretty great). Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean. And finally, Big Log by Robert Plant.
Bon Jovi (during 80’s), Survivor, Journey, Ozzy Osborne, Mr Mister, Winger, REO Speedwagon, Poison, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Queen…Eagles, Pink Floyd …and that’s just immediately off the top of my tires and forgetful brain right now. I have no doubt I’ve not even named the best ones yet lol so many
Kyrie Mr Mister, AHA Take on me, Duran Duran, OMD, Nick Heywood.
No other music decade as diverse and lyrically as fun as the 80’s.....and never will be.....
Totally agree!
Great flashback song from the 80’s
John Parr is on par with the best of them !
I want to go back to the 80 so bad, who wants to come back with me ☹️
I would do anything to go back
I work to make the most and enjoy everything whenever and wherever I am. Try It - You'll Like It.

This movie and there song brings back two feelings: 1) sadness that those times are gone and we live in such a confusing and complicated time and 2) grateful for those times.
The 80s seem so pure compare to these days.
The sad times make or break you they can make you stronger or make you give up
Seemed pure perhaps. Was pure...well depends on what circles you ran in. Everything was on the table in the 80's. Decadence of every sort was readily available if that was your jam. If it wasn't that was fine as well. Most of it was never recorded certainly not on cell phones so what happened at the party stayed at the party one might say.
well said brother, from England.
The Rat Pack together in one film. Outstanding film music from the 80s. For me the best time with the best music
80's culture was just so fun!
"Brat Pack" is what I think this group of young actors in the '80s was called, it was a wordplay/reference to the "Rat Pack" of the '60s, that was Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, & Joey Bishop.
I agree that '80s music was the best, & love this film!
its the brat pack lol Rat pack was Frank , Dean ect
This song was so perfect, for the movie and why it was written. Like the movie, it is meant to remind you of a time when you felt like the world was just one big bright adventure waiting for you and you had all the fire in you to meet it with everything you had. That is what the song brings back to you now.
03:09 onward - the producer who put the trumpets floating over the peaks was a genius. At that stage the song had nowhere else to go, save into history. Sublime inspired moments.
David Foster! Canadian star
It is ironic that it was David Foster. He’s the same producer who tried to take the horns out of Chicago.
