Right there with you. Same age. Where did it all go wrong? The 80s is by far the greatest decade. Kids could be kids and as long as we didn't break any major laws no one cared what we did.
@@mistermr.6938 thats because you were young. I was born in the 90s, but my best lifetime started around 2010 ongoing. So depending when you got born, your youth and early adulthood is the magical time..... Unless you got a shit upbringing, than its the adulthood that gets fun.... generally spoken.
born in late 80s, lived the 90s as a kid and had many many 80s movies and music influences but even though I didn’t actually lived the 80s, gunship are able to make me feel like I’m still a child and bring back many good memories
A few years ago I was in a really bad place in life. I was laying in bed listening to music when the algorithm happened upon "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies" and it moved me to tears. Since then, through better and worse, Gunship's music has touched my heart. At times it made me feel joy. At times it tugged at my heartstrings when I wasn't in a good headspace. The love, soul, and passion in these tracks at times was one of the few things that gave me positivity in a cold world. Thank you for being you, guys, and keep the heat coming. With love.
100% agreed! I just recently found out that my 15 year old son played "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies" for about a year straight when he was 13/14 years old. He was going through some really head times and it probably saved his life. I love this song, too, and am so grateful to have discovered it! I'm so happy to have discovered Gunship as it touches my Gen X soul. I love that only those who have lived through the 80s would recognize the references and cultural nods to the 80s. It makes me feel like a strong, carefree and free-spirited teenager again! Thank you @GUNSHIPMUSIC ! 💖
Gunship, Dance with the Dead, Midnight Danger, Timecop1983, Waveshaper, Dynatron, and Fury Weekend are my favorite Synthwave bands. It blows my mind that these bands have not completely broke into maintsteam music. They create music that is so far superior to the garbage on the radio that I do not even listen to radio anymore. Keep it up Gunship!
Since a few years lots of mainstream pop acts have imported synthwave sounds, obviously very diluted and tamed down. The sad thing is that no one talks about synthwave. It s like its not existing and they pretend its just 80´s music influence which is wrong because synthwave is extremely heavily inspired by film soundtracks and not just 80´s mainstream music.
And E.T. as it made Kuwahara THE BMX bike to have at the time. Lucky for them as Kuwahara got the spotlight just before their fame faded as the market was flooded and Kuwahara was just about to slip out E.T. came along and propped them up a little while longer before BMX died its first death soon after E.T. with the advent of home video games.
MORE GUNSHIP MUSIC‼️‼️‼️ been a fan for years now,, even had a gunship birthday cake once. every time they release a song it makes me just as happy as the time before ❤
It's a dark, cold and rainy autumn day where I live. But holy shit guys, you made this day an amazing day with this absolute banger! Thank you for releasing it to a wider audience. Now we just need a full video for this masterpiece of a cover song.
Great job gun ship at doing a cover of this song by the band real life. I love how you put a heavy tcno sound in the song and brought it up beat more into a club dancing feel. ❤❤❤❤ and the picture of the BMX bike is from the 1980s movie rad.
I love the original of this song but only just discovered this version and I absolutely love it ❤ Can't stop listening to it. Well done on a brilliant cover Gunship. X
I have such strong memories tied to the original that when I heard the first few seconds of this cover it was nostalgia overload! That gem of a track I never expected to find but a treasure to have!
Freakin amazing version of this song.... love this so much. :) One of those moments when the remake does that little bit better than the original, making it even better. :)
Okay, this was totally unexpected but definitely not a disappointment. I know a lot of people associate this song with the movie "Rad" but I first heard it in a movie known as "The Wizard" and it's always had a special spot in terms of nostalgia for me. I feel it would be an injustice to say "This was very good for a cover", because the truth is it is very good period. Very well done.
If i could describe Gunship's music in one sentence, it'd be: everything about the 80s-synthwave, sci-fi, anime, neon, etc. All rolled into one sound that you cannot unhear.
YES! This song always makes me think of the movie, "The Wizard." I loved that movie when I was a kid and still watch it every once in a while. This is an amazing cover, Gunship!
The second I saw the bike I knew it was E.T. ! even before the silloughett across the moon. :) So weird how Gunship gives me happy childhood vibes even when some of it was dark times.
I have loved the original since I first heard it as a teenager when it came out. I love this cover. I want it on CD though, please, please, please release a cd version.
Who else is here that was born in the 80's and loves this version too?!
Ugh.. 77 here but yes loved this one!!
I literally fell in love with this band after hearing this cover
Late 70's and yes
70
That song was our jam back in the 1984
🤩🤩🤩🤩
40 years ago i was 6 six years old. The magic of the 80s will never be duplicated. What an age to be a kid in! ❤

How nostalgic putting that bike there. Thanks for the RAD memory
Totally gnarly dude!🤘
Elliot's Kuwahara
Wasn't even trying to pay attention and read lyrics but I also noticed Elliot and ET flying across the moon in the back!
Love you for the Rad love.
I watched RAD like all of the time.

I love ❤
You know this is a cover, right?
I love th8s version so much.
The thumbnail looks like Pooka from Dig Dug 😌😂
The music video for that one is by far one of my favorite emotional video ever.
Man it's 40 years ago in my head right now. Things were so simple when we were children. Nice cover/tribute!
What i wanna know is why is it that it seems like these kids put synthesizers to way better use than we did back in the day? Good job!
I'd like to think Real Life would be damn proud of this! Well done! 👌

Truth.
The music industry is a controlled space. They only want a few groups they can exert control over.
Thanks for a list. Lol

That list is amazing indeed! I would add "The Midnight" (imo the goats right now), "F.O.O.L" and "September 87".
The original always had a sense of mystery to me and this version intensifies it. Such an awesome cover!!!
With E.T. doing the moon flyby… This is God tier magic 🪄💫

The bike in this video is amazing...a perfect tribute to the movie, RAD :)
And E.T. as it made Kuwahara THE BMX bike to have at the time.

I can't believe someone else remembers that movie... But I'm remembering the school dance alright!
That bike remind me the E.T movie by the way :)
@@KingJarrethLori Loughlin, she was hot before I knew what hot was
This is, by far, my favourite song from my childhood. I'm so glad you remixed it.
Same 🥰
Did You ever see the movie RAD?
You'll like it...
@@PogdubI remember this song from The Wizard
It's not a remix.
This is a cover and it is done well. Sorry to break your heart :)@@zackketz Thank you all for making it is great to hear again !!!!!
Damn, took me back to elementary school going to the skating rink
Great cover and tribute! Forever the 80's
God damn it, GUNSHIP, I LOVE YÒU
Love you! & Zeromancer
I had forgotten about this song. Great cover!
I'm honestly shocked that the original hasn't been used in Stranger Things at some point.
Stranger things may have cracked open the door for 80s Nostalgia but Gunship is here kicking it down with every new song, I'm in love!
This rocks
Doesn't need saying, but fantastic cover of a classic. Well done and thank you
Loving it!
One of my fav songs and fav movies from when I was a kid! Just amazing stuff! Thanks for this. Gunship ROCKS totally dude!
This one I didn't know I needed 💞
I had that bike for my first BMX for racing. It's a Ross I believe. Thing was a tank. Only got 1st place once.. but it was nationals. Great memories
MORE GUNSHIP MUSIC‼️‼️‼️ been a fan for years now,, even had a gunship birthday cake once. every time they release a song it makes me just as happy as the time before ❤
This song would get me so pumped every time I watched The Wizard. Great cover!
California
Great movie! Just rewatched it recently.

Saw that in theater as a kid man I was so stoked
Excellent version
Heard this first in the movie R.A.D and was obsessed since. Thanks for the cover.
Totally 😊
Every cover you do is perfection! Beautiful as always!
Thank you! 🍻
When the synth starts... Goosebumps!!

YES! Thanks for making amazing tracks (and this cover) and sharing it with the world! GUNSHIP FOREVER! ❤
Ooooooh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuggin RAD!!!!
Man, the old bicycle boogie scene is permanently etched into my memory. This is a fantastic cover.
I absolutely love the throwback to Rad, one of my favorite movies as a kid.
The nostalgia…. Prefect updated cover! Thank you 🤘🏻
Great job gun ship at doing a cover of this song by the band real life. I love how you put a heavy tcno sound in the song and brought it up beat more into a club dancing feel. ❤❤❤❤ and the picture of the BMX bike is from the 1980s movie rad.
Man, I used to have a cover of this song by Thrice. That version was awesome, and this one is pretty cool too!
This kicks ass! Excellent work!
Saw the title.. thought could it be?.. Real Life again.. and Gunship have come through....
I've heard many different people put their own spin on this song, and I can finally say I've found my favorite version. Amazing work 🎉
Absolutely ❤
Favorite is still the original… much better than this
I like the original, and Zeromancer's version, a little better but this is a very good take.
I love the original of this song but only just discovered this version and I absolutely love it ❤ Can't stop listening to it. Well done on a brilliant cover Gunship. X
never stop producing masterpiece, but lately...perfection after perfection !!!
This is one of the best covers ever! I freaking love GUNSHIP!!!
The soundtrack to the 80s movie that never was
Best remix i heard yet
Una de las mejores canciones del synthwave que escuche hasta el momento🥰
Ohhh the RAD reference front and center, gotta love it
Thank you guys for always delivering. You read my mind.
...Ah, memories!
GUNSHIP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY ARE YOU THE BEST ARTIST OUT THERE!!!
Seriously!!!! I ask that same question about the song "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies". It is absolute perfection!!!
I have such strong memories tied to the original that when I heard the first few seconds of this cover it was nostalgia overload! That gem of a track I never expected to find but a treasure to have!
Freakin amazing version of this song.... love this so much. :)

This is my favorite song of all time ever since I watched The Wizard, and you guys just somehow made it better!
Solche Musik sind genau die, die ich suche. Thanks
Top class.
Great remake. love it
Love it
I LOVE GUNSHIP!!!! ❤️
I love the reference to E.T. Probably something else in there I missed while writing this. Maybe I'll watch it once or 17 times more
Bellissimo!
I love how this combines aspects of both versions of the song plus your style ❤
such an incredible song!
Fan of Gunship
Yes!
Gunship, slow your roll. First Unicorn, then this. It's just too much awesome.
Hell yess!!!! No one else could cover this song better.
As I said on the other site, I'm adding this to my "Avalon Bay" playlist when I write for that setting.
LOVE this cover
So RAD!!
❤❤❤❤
80's power baby
RAD!! 1 of my fav movies as a teen.
Great song!
If i could describe Gunship's music in one sentence, it'd be: everything about the 80s-synthwave, sci-fi, anime, neon, etc. All rolled into one sound that you cannot unhear.
The chorus is absolute perfection. Masterful sound design and true to the original. So fucking good.
YES! This song always makes me think of the movie, "The Wizard." I loved that movie when I was a kid and still watch it every once in a while. This is an amazing cover, Gunship!
Yes! Everyone keeps talking about "RAD", and I'm like, no this is from "The Wizard"! Lol (It was also in "Teen Wolf Too").
The version in The Wizard was the "1989" remix of the original, which was on Rad.
@@billothekid.... hop in your time machine !
Word.@@ShogunX11
@@ShogunX11Theres like a thousand mixes of Real Life's song.
Love the elevation
This needs a video!!!
i'm not sure i've heard a cover bang so much harder than the original material. i love the original, but this is incredible.
Great remake!! Bravo! #BMXLife
The second I saw the bike I knew it was E.T. ! even before the silloughett across the moon. :) So weird how Gunship gives me happy childhood vibes even when some of it was dark times.
Glad this song is here officially!
I absolutely love how the synth travels from the right channel to the left then back
😀
Very cool cover!
I was looking for different remixes of this song with sound in my head on how it should sound. And here, I found it.
I have loved the original since I first heard it as a teenager when it came out. I love this cover. I want it on CD though, please, please, please release a cd version.
you mean cassette ;-)
Go wireless
Cool cover. The Kuwahara BMX bike is a nice touch too.
nailed it
