thanh mai this entire album was pretty good honestly. They just never got the proper air play. Too bad. I mean look at New Order, one of the best (THE BEST) bands from that era. They didn't even get a lot of radio play.
Matty S you apparently have never been in the kink studio. It is a very small, seated studio, about 70 seats. The performance is recorded live, no moving about the room.
This is my ringtone. Yesterday whilst in a bookies in Colchester it went off, a guy came over and asked to hear it again. He then introduced himself as the original drumer of Modern English 👍
Richard brown hes always in Colchester he lives in Kelvedon a real nice fella a good friend of mine 🙂 I bet he was with a fella called Phil aka cosmic a real character 🙂👍👍
My husband's and my song! 37 years dating and going on 34 married! We've been through so much together. When the trials are overwhelming, I put this on, and remember, we'll get through this together.
Every single musician in this performance is a joy to watch and listen to. The drums slap, the song and melody are perfect, the bass groves, both guitars do perfect rhythm and lead, they keyboards are classic. They seem to really enjoy the song and playing it together. The mix and production are S tier.
This has been our song for 29 years of marriage and counting, whenever one of us has heard it while apart we have texted the other immediately without fail .
Moving forward using all my breath Making love to you was never second best I saw the world thrashing all around your face Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace I'll stop the world and melt with you You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time There's nothing you and I won't do I'll stop the world and melt with you(You should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate (You should see why) Dropped in the state of imaginary grace (You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race (You should see why) Never comprehending the race that long gone bye I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you The future's open wide I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time (let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you The future's open wide Hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
The lock down version of this song is a blast. They all look like they are having so much fun. Seem like a great bunch of guys. Such a great song from my youth.
This is a wonderful relatively recent original performance of a song from 1982. I rediscovered the song on radio during Christmas 2016 while traveling. As a traditionalist, I did not appreciate the New Age’s fashion antics at the time, but I did love rock and roll. And this was a perfect example. Music transcends culture. Listeners benefit by ignoring the various coverings of the performers and just listening. The truism is you can’t judge a book by its cover. These guys are hard-working professionals.
These guys rule. And this is my favorite song from them. Man do I wish I was born in the 70s or 60s so I can experience the 80s. Long live the 80s man. I especially like that they still rock after all this time. I wonder how old they are. You look them up and you can't find a DOB or an age.
This video proves we may be getting older but the music lasts forever and these guys looks so happy and comfortable preforming. This may be GenX music but this boomer loves this band.
My brother was tight with a Philly band called Witness, they opened up for Modern English, at a club in NYC called the Trax, at end of the show Mick Jagger, showed up. 😛😛😛😛
I was maybe 12 and a beautiful 1980s hip gal played this song on the juke. I was hooked ever since! This song and the Valley girl pair nicely All through my years of mohawks and metalhead hair.
Who is still listening to this brilliant song in 2024 ??❤❤❤
I'm still am it brings back memories of my late wife
Me! Its on my favorites on spotify. I have their record still.
Me
I feel so bad for this great band. they deserve better than this sleeping crowd!!!!!!! this was one of the best songs of the 80s!!!
you so right .. no one rushing the stage and dancing uncontrollable.. I know I would

these are middle aged people not teens.
Necro post. lol but they are enjoying the music now... even more than in their teens

Dick Brown. When they were the Lepers too!
This bought tears in my eyes.

My favorite movie and my favorite song
Fantastic. 33 people don't appreciate 80's classic tunes.
One of the best songs of the 1980s. The lead singer's voice has held up pretty well over time.
they still sound fantastic. this song is the 80's for me!
Definitely the best version

First note and im back in the 80s. Thanks for the trip fellas.
This song is a classic hymn... deserved more!!!
It's a nuclear war protest song
That totally ROCKED! The drums/rhythm really drive it! Classic and simple!
They don't have the foggiest idea how wonderful this song is. Such glorious memories from this beaut.
Still a very nice, tight version of this SUPERB song. Thank you Modern English.
It's June 2020, and that's still one of my all-time favorite songs! Great tune! Well done, Modern English!
My all time favorite song!!!
I my favorite song of all time
COOL, STILL BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE.
I love this song and great movie
Still look & sound good after all these years!!! Thanks for the young love make out anthem of my youth!! ❤️❤️❤️
always loved this song and still do today. they sound great. I don't pay attention to the audience, just the band ;)
One of my fave songs for Carol. I wish we never divorced. I miss her every minute of my effing existence ....
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending the race that long gone bye
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world)
I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time (let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
This is just uncanny, beautiful
The lock down version of this song is a blast. They all look like they are having so much fun. Seem like a great bunch of guys. Such a great song from my youth.
Love every piece of this song, all the instruments and singer. Great song
Not enough words to describe how wonderful this is as is all of the other performances.
Just love this song! Melted in Brazil :)
If any song speaks for the 80s,this is it
last saw Modern English in Night Moves in Glasgow in the 80's and they were amazing, still a big fan, love them!
Oh my gosh. A bunch of old people playing music from my youth. They look ...... like.... me.
We are you- you are us. Just go with it.
And they still sound better than any new young band out there!
One of those perfect songs performed perfectly!
Outstanding.
One of the best songs of the 80s!

0.53 drummer in nostalgia mode...thank you Modern English..one of life-defining tracks that I grew up with.
One of the songs that define beautiful 80s music.
Bloody hell! This sounds GREAT. Timeless classic. And that guy's bass sounds bad-ass.
I love them!!
This video proves we may be getting older but the music lasts forever and these guys looks so happy and comfortable preforming. This may be GenX music but this boomer loves this band.
I love modern English. One if the best songs ever. Such a point in time.
They sound great
Just what we need in times like this.
2:24 KUDOS for him. He plays with a lot of Passion. You Can Feel It.
Just played this on Radio 6, a very nice way to start the morning.
