Yes it was the best era without all the stuff you mentioned...we didn't need it...we actually went out with our friends in real life and we talked on the phone. It was a wonderful time to be in your 20s for sure.
I’d only go back to visit again…..it wasn’t all that great back then. We had high inflation and high interest in the early 80’s. We had a few sad moments through the decade….remember the Challenger? The cars were underpowered and crappy….don’t want those back for everyday use. Plus….I’d really miss the Internet and todays medical technology. I only miss the music and everyone’s sense of pride….and people trying to do the right thing. Era is long gone….
I was born in 1970 so when the 80s rolled in I was able to enjoy music like this at the skating rink and no doubt that the best music ever was in the 80s...
Greg Blair I was born in 1980 but I still got to hear this and remember hearing awesome music as a very little girl. Also my parents are audiophiles, so they introduced me to some amazing classics. I love the 80s. Music is my spirit. 💖
Same here... I feel very lucky to have been in '71. Our generation we're born at just the right time to experience all of that music as it was created!
I didn't ask the post-er of this video, Ricardo yet to confirm. But this sounds like he made this Extended version himself, by blending the instrumental version with the vocal. I bought the 12-in vinyl when it came out and it had three versions on it. None of them were as extended as this. If he did this, he did a great job!
This is one of the 80s song that puts that lump in your throat and takes you back to school from the 80s when the world had great vibes and the 80s chicks were so natural and so beautiful and the radio was on fire with great music and the movies and TV shows were also great. Long live generation x ❤✌, I would go back to the 80s in a blink and this time I would stay forever 🤙👍❤🙏🌏
The message is perfectly simple The meaning is clear Don't ever stray too far And don't disappear, no, don't disappear♥️ Ever had that feeling Almost broke in two Said that you were leaving Like you do, you do, ooh-ooh All my dreams came true last night All my hopes and fears All my dreams came true once more In tears, in tears Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Be near Never had that feeling Until I first met you Never felt like kneeling Now I do, (yes I do) Yes, I do, ooh-ooh All my dreams came true last night All my hopes and fears All my dreams came true once more In tears, in tears Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Oh, be near me, be near Be near The message is perfectly simple The meaning is clear Don't ever stray too far And don't disappear, no, don't disappear Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Be near me, be near Ecstasy!

The magic of music is that we always remember where we were when we first heard the music. I was newly stationed in Germany in the U.S Army with my college sweetheart bride. No kids yet. Just me and her. When I wasn't on deployment, we had a blast! This great song takes us both right back to Germany in 1985. Our first car together was a brand new 85' Audi Quattro sedan purchased in Germany. We brought it back to CONUS with us. That Audi lasted well into the 90's until we finally wore it out hauling kids around.
This version I think that was released much time after the single. I heard this other one near very close the single release over 1985 called Munich Disco Mix ruclips.net/video/Gn9KkKmj-YA/видео.html

Hey Paulla you remember listeing to this great ABC recording together in the Nurses home were we lived back in 1985 - Right on the top floor - With my window opened hot summer in 85 - We could hear that busy hosptial still working - Through those witching hours ? -You were the one Paulla you trully was ! - We were good together ! - Then Fate the same fate that threw us together -Tore us apart ! - No one could take your place ? - I Never remarried ! - Songs like these bring you back to me ! - P.B. Heres looking for you Kid ! Xxx
I'm going through a HORRIBLE divorce after 20 years of marriage. The happy news is that my high school boyfriend, my first love, and I have reconnected. It's like the last 40 years never happened, like I'm right back in high school! And we both feel it. I JUST texted him a link to this song, and it could have been written for us. I love that concept of being near. And it's a beautiful thing to feel that someone is always near, even when they're 1000 miles away. Fairytales DO come true. Don't be afraid to go find YOURS!!! 😊
I was a child under ten when this song came out, but it's one of those songs that is like a time machine. It takes me right back into the essence of that whole time period in the world.
ABC still one of my all time favourite groups and still love and listen to 80s music more than any other music be near still sounds as great. 80s forever
Be near me. Be nearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr x It's a lovely song. Oh what a sweet age I was then. Oh how we wish time could roll back. I don't want to be 80 and don't think I will be. But for those of you who do. Best of luck. The song is very uplifting.
Los 80 fue la decada de la explocion de la musica se grababan muy seguido los temas de diferentes generos ,vivi esa epoca y fue lo mejor que escuche en mi juventud nunca olvidaremos los 80
Esta música es una JOYA , que grandes son esta banda y su vocalista , con el perdón que merese ABC pero sus ritmos y letras se parecen al " DUKE = DAVID BOWE DEP , esta canciones alegran al alma y espíritu. ,saludos y lánguida a ABC , DESDE AGS, MEX . 3,5,2022
I think this song is up there with poison arrow and look of love. I just love the florishes of piano and the plucked strings. Unashamed bliss. And I love the way he rhymes feeling and kneeling.
I remember hearing this in my sleep taken naps as a LIL kid lol instead sleeping I was singing...80 is the year for me. so I yeah I Grew with the Decade. Favorite part of this song WHAT'S YOUR REPUTAITION ESCATSY....WHAT'S YOUR DESTINATION NEXT TO ME 😘

It's such a beautiful song 🎵. Wooooh, it pumps me up growing together with these great UK bands like ABC. I'm in my 50s now, and every time I hear 80s music, I feel like I'm going back to my high school days of new waves, punk songs, love songs, parties, and crushes 😍. The 80s is the best era of great music and the geniuses of the great British invasion of bands, duos, individual artists, and most of all, the era of synthesizers. 👍 80s music's is fantastic and timeless.
High School class of '79. College grad in in '84. Our kids and grand kids will never get this. Why try? Let's those of us who lived it, just enjoy it. After all, it is our generation.
High School class of '79. College in the early 80's. Married my college sweetheart in '84. No kids until '90. Does this music still have meaning for me. really???

It's not just this song.
There are hundreds of songs from the 80s that to me sound just as fresh as they did the first time I heard them.
I agree!
Say no to the great reset
Agree!
Agree!
Wow. We really did grow up in the best era. No internet, no social media, no reality tv. This song is still great after all of these years.
Yes, it is
AMEN
The best music ever done!
Well said, good sir!
Yes it was the best era without all the stuff you mentioned...we didn't need it...we actually went out with our friends in real life and we talked on the phone. It was a wonderful time to be in your 20s for sure.
This song is instant happiness! Opens up your heart and clears your head of worries. A cure-all for depression, anxiety and heartaches.
Agreed Nina! This's one of my childhood's fav song!
@@syedimad4272 agreed 👍. I was in 6th grade when this came out. September 85 I believe?
Yes. You hit the nail on the head. All my worries go away with this song
Damn right!
....plus it works well for no itch ..no stratch in da wash. JS
One of the most legit jams of the 80's.
I want to go back to this era
I'll go with❣💃💃💃
We really didn’t know how good we had it.
LETS GO!
I’d only go back to visit again…..it wasn’t all that great back then. We had high inflation and high interest in the early 80’s. We had a few sad moments through the decade….remember the Challenger?

So glossy, shiney bright and dazzling, you need sunglasses to listen to it ! A masterpiece in production
clubsport911 / great description
I love the way you say that. true.
clubsport911 hugely underated album. Suffered like Beauty Stab. But like BS continues to dazzle. Such an iconic act.
clubsport911 wow that sure sounds like you quoted it out of Rollling Stone magazine.
I was born in 1970 so when the 80s rolled in I was able to enjoy music like this at the skating rink and no doubt that the best music ever was in the 80s...
No doubt, born in 71
1970. Me too. 80s great times.

Greg Blair, So did I! Did you happen to skate at the Courtyard Mall?
Greg Blair - me too I was born in 75 grew up at the perfect generation
born in 1971 this was my soundtrack growing up
Same here... I feel very lucky to have been in '71. Our generation we're born at just the right time to experience all of that music as it was created!
This _still_ is my soundtrack of growing up at 56. Too many memories are induced by this song.
WoW..... I didn't know there was an extended version. The 80's were so damn cool. Alot of good music from the UK and US.
You need to be looking if you're a Music Lover! !!!

The message is perfectly simple
The meaning is clear
Don't ever stray too far
And don't disappear, no, don't disappear♥️
Ever had that feeling
Almost broke in two
Said that you were leaving
Like you do, you do, ooh-ooh
All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears, in tears
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near
Never had that feeling
Until I first met you
Never felt like kneeling
Now I do, (yes I do)
Yes, I do, ooh-ooh
All my dreams came true last night
All my hopes and fears
All my dreams came true once more
In tears, in tears
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Oh, be near me, be near
Be near
The message is perfectly simple
The meaning is clear
Don't ever stray too far
And don't disappear, no, don't disappear
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Be near me, be near
Ecstasy!
(What's your inclination?)
Next to me!
(What's your reputation?)
Ecstasy!
(What's your inclination?)
Next to me!
(What's your reputation?
Ecstasy!
(What's your inclination?)
Next to me!♥️♥️
Thank you for the lyrics 👍👍
