Lyrics:
Hot steamy night alone, I wait for you
Cold brittle morning alone, and I cried for you
And when you finally call
You cloak your moves in the shadows
Those days and nights I was good to you
They must not have meant very much to you
The night I needed you the most
My cries fell on deaf ears
And I'm running so hard to find it
And I'm running so fast
And I'm telling you now to leave me
Our romance cannot last
And if someday I need to see you
I'll come back from the past
I'll come back and find you
I'll never leave you now
Those days and nights I was good to you
They must not have meant very much to you
The night I needed you the most
My cries fell on deaf ears
Now I don't want to play games with you
But I don't know what to say to you
The digits change so slowly now
I'm going it alone
And I'm running so hard to find it
And I'm running so fast
And I'm telling you now to leave me
Our romance cannot last
And if someday I need to see you
I'll come back from the past
I'll come back and find you
I'll never leave you now

I have a theory about the 80s: It's like the top of the rollercoaster where songwriting and technology converged for the first time. The result was this explosion of creativity. Access to drums machines by Roger Linn and others + sampling technology like the Emu and Akai. To me the 80's are the absolute apex of human musical freedom. For the first time we were allowed to make the music in our heads and it was glorious. For that brief moment, it made human life more colorful and alive in ways that we're still trying to re-create.
I think you're right. There were synthetic sounds prior to the 80's, but they really stand out, like Giorgio Moroder/Donna Summer and of course Kraftwerk. It wasn't until the beginning of the decade that people really started experimenting with it... and now, it's just so ubiquitous, kids don't even know there was a different way of doing things once.
@@CBlargh And now AI will be making all music soon. No humans needed.
@@JohnSmith-ys4nl Don't get me started on AI... It's way worse than many people realise. o_O
Plus MTV - music videos were a game changer. Crazy shit happened, recordings prove it.
Not much in the way of innovation really since. So called "workstations" don't cut it for me. I'm looking for new inspiring stuff..(?)
I doubt there will ever be another decade as great as the 80s. For those of us who grew up then we realize just how lucky we were.
1985-1995 was freakin' awesome!
Check out Voices Of Babylon by The Outfield.
You were just young, that's all. Every generation feels that way about its music.
@@TT-fq7pl Nope. The 80s is the most beloved decade of music. The 90s was mediocre overall. 2000 until now is absolute trash. Thanks for playing.
@@TT-fq7plTrue that.
Still, there was something magical about the 1980s.
Who listening in 2023?
Ive always like good music

Stuck in the 80’s. Real music, real girlfriend, real friends. No money but happier every minute.
Yes
Can't say more !
Facts!
True that
That really sums it up.
I’m an 80’s girl born and raised. The fact that my grown kids know all the top songs from that era is astounding to me.
Well the 80s was the decade of music. A lot of folks that were not around back then love the music because it is real music.
70's girl here, 80's were awesome!
Amazing!
80s MUSIC WAS AWSOME...60s & 70s MUSIC THE BEST...GROUPS LIKE THE BEATLES..THE STONES...THE WHO...BLACK SABBATH..ELVIS...MARSHALL TUCKER BAND..LYNARRD SKINYRD..THE BEACH BOYS...THE TURTLES...OZZY OSBORNE...LINDA RONSTAD..N...THE EAGLES...JUST TO NAME A FEW..

2024! Energia totallll!!!!!
Tá eu aí escutando hoje ! Nostalgia total anos 80
1988 - this song is awesome!💥
2023 - this song still awesome!💥
YES 🥰
Still sounds better than 90% of the stuff that’s popular right out now.
@@rockowilson2320 Completely agree !! This song has definetly stood the test of time. It's still GREAT !
these days i watched psycho american for the first time, and i was very excited with the scene where they are in the club and this song plays, today i downloaded it and i'm going to skate listening.
Was one of my favorite songs in 1988. Haven’t heard this song for years and immediately was able to sing along word for word.
The guy that says "pure energy" is Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek fame. His son got him to agree to let his voice to be included in this song. The group had been trying for a long time to get his permission....he just didn't know. He loved it. He especially liked the fact that it became a hit!
And the first line "It worked so far but ain't over yet" it's from Dr. McCoy on S02ep8...
Seems the band liked this answer
Actually the 3 voices you hear are Dr McCoy, Spock, and Kirk
Remember lenonard nemoys musical career.. Oh boy.
@@ForceFedFetusFillet Please NO! lol
Keep the music alive!
Who's listening 2024?
Listening to them right now on Pandora, song, Something in the Air. Such a great album. Glad I was an 80's teen.
I am
66 here and unless I break a hip or something 😮🤣, I'll just keep dancing. Damn, I miss the 80's.
Kick ass. How’s honey and Jim Trixie
I was at a Star Trek Con right around the time this was released. Leonard Nimoy was the major guest. During his Q&A someone in the crowd asked him if he had heard this song and his simple answer was to lean close to the microphone and say, "PURE ENERGY". The crowd went nuts!
SIMPLY BADASS, 🖖
@@arturodelagarza9028 Live long and prosper. 🖖
OMG THAT'S AWESOME!!! May you live long and prosper. :-)
Logical. 🖖
Crazy story! 🖖
Damn I'm 51 and still listening to this. I remember when this came out! PURE ENERGY
I just turned 60 and blasting the volume on my Dr, Dre's. Good times and exceptional music. This is my fountain of youth.
same here....age 64...crank it up!!!
Im 52 and listening! Our generation! HA!
im 27 and i listen to this. rock on bro.
53 and jamming hard!
Here because we love the 80s music.
I would have bet my life that this was an English band. Turns out they're from my home state of Minnesota. Fantastic!!
Growing up in the 80s was like your first kiss, all fresh, all new, all bright. The earth didn't spin it spun.
I love how you said it.....and I'd say you are on point. If growing up had fewer issues - more normal trajectories 🤔
Perfect statement!!
Must have been reading my mind again. Can’t hide anything from you.
Qué bonito pensamiento. Tal cual❤
Truth. 😊
Sometimes I get down cause I'm 44. Then I start drinking and listening to 80 s music and I don't care anymore. Good times. Damn
Describing my night. Right down to the age!
Almost 39 but I can still relate
Coffinsmoke yep 44 here and reminiscing
Coffinsmoke quit drinking that can be the root cause of the down side
45 my boi
Wow. Kurt Harland will be 61 years old next January. I still love this entire album. I bought the CD new when I was in the Air Force stationed on Okinawa. Great memories… Great music!!
When I was a little kid in the 90s, I use to love it when this song came on the radio. My mom would always turn it up for me.
In the 80's creativity was never ending. That's what gave us Gems like this.
This is true, the 80s music is all over the place but it also is something so special and unique.
Truth.
In the 80s, we wondered what was on people's mind.. since the invent of social media.. we wish we didn't know!
@Mastema where they to destroy the internet how would you access these great videos?
Dam right on that one.. I'm tired of hearing all the crap on peoples minds. lol Lets go back to the 80s and dance and battle our differences out..lol
you couldn't have said it better, LMFAO!!! *cheers to the Gen X-es*

Night Club Masterpiece. Pure love ♾️❤️✌️💯
1988 was a year of total bliss! Would love to go back for a visit!
This song was way ahead of its time. Who would guess that we would become an “information society”
Right
They (The Band) did. ;)
There is a war on for your mind!!!
I did. I called it back in the 80s. If you don't believe me ask Joe!
ALWAY
Shout out to all yall who were shocked to learn these guys are from Minnesota and not British.
That tripped me out. They absolutely sound British.
And I love Minnesota
I also thought they were British.
How did this only chart at 81 here in the UK in 1988? It's freaking awesome
sounds like it’s from the uk
When did it chart in the US? I recall it always being on Mtv back then.
@@ObscuredEntertainment It hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988.
I legit thought they were British until like 10 years ago.
Cool, luv this jam@@danmccarthy4700
The "Pure Energy" vocal comes from Leonard Nimoy's character Spock on the TV series Star Trek. In the 1967 Season 1 episode "Errand of Mercy," Spock and Captain Kirk visit the planet Organia, where their citizens have advanced beyond the need for physical bodies. When two of them vanish in front of them, Spock says, "Fascinating. Pure energy. Pure thought. Totally incorporeal. Not life as we know it at all."
I always thought it was Spock. Thanks for confirming.
Cool!!
Using Leonard Nimoy’s voice was a stroke of genius.
And Dr. McCoy's.
And I had heard that the way the band got permission to use it was due to Adam Nimoy (Leonard's son) being a fan of the band.
@@Brad772006 cool!
Pure Energy
In view of the song's subject, it's probably meant to indirectly reference the Vulcan mind-meld.
Every club in the mid to late 80’s played this tune because it emboldened the people onto the dance floor. A timeless tune. They don’t write them like that anymore. Wish you all could have seen the energy and excitement that this song generated. Enjoy!
Biggest 80's dance tune was "Blue Monday" by New Order. Think it still holds record for most singles sold. They butchered the Hell out of it remixing and remixing, but thats what sold records. For me its more personal, the original, I heard, was paying homage to former Joy Division Bandmate Ian Curtis.
I remember when the dance floor would go black, and the strobes would start flashing during the second instrumental! Awesome times!
I look around at the world today and I thank the Universe I had a childhood that included the 80's.
I was there, you are soooo right about that. Hollywood in the late 80s
You got that right! There are some songs mixed by Raja Ram that will bring people to the dance floor! Check out "Raja Ram" and "TIP World" (Psy Trance/Full on)!!!!
This song brings back a lot of good memories! PURE ENERGY!!!
Who’s listening in 2024? 💙💚💜
Secretly loved this song as a metalhead teen. I would crank it up whenever it came on the radio, as long as my friends werent around. Reminds me of another great band, the Human League
We were supposed to see heavy metal as “white devil music”, but we watched video and variety shows that had fun songs by Twisted Sister. I found out about more bands thanks to my metal head friends and Star Hits magazine 😁
As a metalhead I kind of have a soft spot for old synth pop even if not all of it has held up, I find it great and revolutionary on a level that no matter what clique or person you were we got pretty bloody good synth pop.
I thought I was the only head banger that secretly did that !!!! I bet there is more out there.
Another metal head checking in, came from Darker Thoughts by Paradise Lost to this. Quite the contrast.
Totally agree!!
This song simply reflects all that the 80's was about! Pure Energy!!!!!
I LUVZ IT ALL!
Indeed add in flock of seagulls depeche mode and Tiffany/ Debbie Gibson! :) Deep cut i listened!
A melhor época musical
@@LOT9T add some Debbie deb hello weekend then some Shannon LET THE MUSIC PLAY. Maybe some Nucleus Jam on it
Pedazo de video!!!...lleno de psicodelia suave.
Putting this song together was definitely pure energy. Never gets old.
Grew up as a kid in the 80’s ✨🖤🔥 I remember my older sister blasting this song in her room while getting ready for her date.. 😊
I don't know what it was, but getting ready to go out on the weekends and blasting 80s music (back then) seemed to put you in a good mood. I know it did me. Blasting music and a cocktail while getting ready was a blast. :)
T this makes me feel a good
Here I am in silence
Looking round without a clue
I find myself along again
All alone with you
I can see behind your eyes
The things that I don't know
If you hide away from me
How can our love grow
I wanna know
What you're thinking
There are some things you can't hide
I wanna know
What you're feeling
Tell me what's on your mind
I know I could break you down
But what good would it do
I could surely never know
That what you say is true
Here I am in silence
It's a game I have to play
You and I in silence
With nothing else to say
I wanna know
What you're thinking
There are some things you can't hide
I wanna know
What you're feeling
Tell me…
No one knows what im thinking...lol
Thank you.😺
I've said it before and ill say it again. The 80s was a musical renaissance!
Yep, was a Golden Age, of Hollywood too. Music side started in booming England economy (thanks to Margaret Thstcher) and it was called. The New Romantic Movement. Reagan, capitalism had everything to do wth it, plus Ca California still being a red state then and Hollywood not taken over by left wing wackos.
The bar was set very high...you really had to do something special to get noticed. That being said, I do think a lot of the 80's sounds and melodies have come back in modern music.
Jason Vyzer there are genres that are called Retro Wave , Synth wave and Chill wave that you guys might like.
This is absolutely one of my most famous videos from the period, and one of the most amazing performances and amazing performers.
This is clearly one of The Greatest Songs of the entire 1980's. No question about it man.
Back when one guy with a synth, a mixing board and some interesting samples could make an immortal hit dance floor song. We may never see another era of Synth Pop.
Yes We Will! Best's, dtf
there is a shitton of synthpop to make endless playlists, who needs a revival, they usually don't sound the same due to differences in equipment
@@cannabico6621 The new stuff doesn't represent a Zeitgeist of an entire generation. It's not the same as the old New Wave technopop. The closest I've heard occasionally comes out of Japan, but it's not part of a larger movement.
Because today's era totally sucks ass
Never say never it will happen again
The 80's were Pure Energy ! We'll never have another decade like the 80's, Best time of my life....
Yeah it's full of coke
Doug Dinnadrome Did you you say you've got some coke ? I'll take two eight balls !
I’m right there with you. I was born at the end of 1980.
People can say what they want to about the 80s, but the 80s was so rad it was radicool.
Well for me if the 80´s were pure energy , 2019 is cosmic energy!! Don´t be fooled by the crazy events out in the world pay attention at your energy levels, since 2012 our planet is increasing in energy!!
I know it's been said before .but RUclips is the closest thing to a time machine we'll ever have. 🤷♂️👍
Todays music couldn't hold a jock strap to the 80's
You ain't neva lied!
I agree with what you've said and liked the"hold a jock strap" and will be using it! Thanks!
🤣❤️
How dare you compare a jock strap to The Garbage On the Radio !!
word up
I initially thought that Information Society was a British band, until I found out later that they were from Minneapolis. This song sounds like it came from across the pond.
Yes, I agree Alexander. I thought the same, I thought that they must be British, or somewhere in Europe at least. When I discovered a bit later they were from the United States, and Minneapolis of all places, I was really surprised! Good you mentioned this. I thought initially it was either a Duran Duran song or a Depeche Mode song!
They sound like Heaven 17

Not to mention a sampled Dr. McCoy from Start Trek at the start of the song and sampled Mr. Spock saying "Pure Energy" throughout the song, which really made it a hit. Thanks, Leonard Nimoy!

Same here
Same.😢😢
It really was special!
I totally agree. Those were the days
I miss the experimental mindset in music and the lack of self-consciousness. It felt like bands were encouraged to explore, and take risks, which could make for really unique and fun songs.
(Sigh), I miss so much about the 80’s too.
This song is epic.

David B. I was 14 when this song came out and I have always loved this song, the songs today just don’t have this quality, the bass in this song is incredible! Takes me right back to a decade I miss! I have the memories at least and can always play the great music! 👍🏼
You are welcome !
The production on this track is INSANE!
Yeah that's what it makes it so awesome like everything 80s🎸😎🥰❤️😊
So many voice overdubs there...
I'm so happy I was in college when songs like this came out! These were like party staples. This song is best listened to with a thundering bass system. You just can't help but move to it.
80s Metalhead here I wish I was a little more open minded back then I missed out on songs like this. Really into The Cars now in my fifties #1 eighties band IMHO......better late than never I guess
I was a metal head as well, but also listened to stuff like this, I just didn't tell anyone lol! The Cars definitively rock, they were considered ok in my circles even back then because classic rock stations played them :)
I'm a metalhead myself but I love songs like this. Flock Of Seagulls and The Fixx come to mind.
Another metalhead here, my thoughts exactly.

Date captured in time for all future generations to see .
The 1980s - a decade of amazing achievements in art, music, film, video technology, New Wave Rock, Techno, Trance...
what a great time to be young and on the cutting edge of it all..."pure energy"...two words sampled from Leonard Nimoy as Spock.
Generation X..the best generation!
Love this too much!!😍😍👏👏👊👊🤘🤘
didnt know that was a spock sample - just amped my appreciation of it up times 10! who ever thought of that is genius. the sample makes it sooo boss. one of my favorites songs all time - afro american hip hop dj from back in the day 80s-90s
Paul Hardcastle "19" !
@padams24 Anything pre 9-11 was awesome. Humanity became less human after that.
My god this song is brilliant.
Their entire first album was brilliant :) Not so much afterwards, though. I mean, it was OK, but just OK.
@@cryogeneric brilliant observation. Afterwards. Bad management. But they continued throughout. That's what true talent will do for you. Great song, great times, by far the best time to be alive.
Amanda Kramer sang some incredible songs for The Golden Palominos in the late-80’s/early-90’s. What a voice 😘
So awesome being in the clubs when this was new. Brings back great memories
My dad met the lead singer in an elevator at a disco prom party in Massachusetts in 2015. 😁
My Sister in Brazil.
Fun, positive, no curse words; relatable, part punk, part rock, pure genius. Feel-good therapy!
Also hit the club and dance scene. That bass still thumps⚡
They were considered New Wave. I loved all the great New Wave groups of the 80's.
fuck that
@@annahanguiano8931 Freestyle, rather.
And nobody pays attention to the thinly veiled satire of the shallowness of pop music. They had to be more overt in their subsequent album, "Peace and Love, Inc."

Totalmente de acuerdo rikko me tocó vivir esa época y la admosfera era totalmente diferente hablando musicalmente y socialmente,.. saludos.

@@alejandrobellido1 naaaaaaa, estas seguro lo que estas diciendo???!!! mas tecnologia menos alma. La ecuacion menos es mas es correcta
My God what happened to music??!?!?!?!?! I'm so blessed and lucky to have been a teenager through the eighties starting on my fourteenth birthday July, 20 1980.
That was my 13th birthday as well. Cool.
+Madison County Sound Labs Lucky you. I was born that August 15.
"What happened?" I'm no expert but I was around in 1988 and 20 years old when this single debuted, and I have a couple of answers because my aunt worked for Capitol EMI at the time and I also was working as an FM DJ. To make it RUclips brief: MTV was told to pull the plug on new wave. So were US labels. Guitar-based alternative was pushed forward instead and REM rode this wave in replacing synth-based bands. "Ok, why did they do this?"
New wave music began in the art schools of Northern England. These were Communist and Socialist hotbeds. The bands often spoke of art, philosophy and leftist politics openly in their lyrics. Scritti Politti one of the biggest examples (part of why you've barely heard of them). Widespread UK political criticism of Thatcher and Reagan in new wave lyrics began educating US teens like me and angered conservative shareholders.
Once TPTB in the US became aware of what the lyrics to these songs were saying and what the art in the music videos often expressed, a mandate was literally released via fax and dot matrix to the radio stations to stop playing new wave releases. That killed the movement dead. Looking back, it was the beginning of Clear Channel: conservative American control of American pop radio airwaves.
If you search for this song in 2024, you guys will be legends! !
Shivers every time ♥️
Man I thought they were British but come to find out they are from Minneapolis. I love this song!
@@se1775 Yeah they are from Minneapolis Minnesota here in the US.
I also thought they were British. To me, the lead singer's voice sounds remarkably similar to Depeche Mode.
LOL same here!
I'm from Minneapolis and most people here don't know they were from Minneapolis.
That's cuz Minnesotans talk different than the rest of us. They have their own unique accent. I had a bad experience with a Minnesotan which made me naturally not want to like any of them but I'm sure they're not all bad.
Classic example of just how good the 80's music was.
Who’s listening to this gem in 2024?
Seriously respecting this song right now
