For some reason that song takes me back to the 80's more than some others. It's interesting how listening to a song can bring vivid memories back from our pasts. Time goes by so fast!
lads have lost nothing since that amazing soundtrack came out. Still makes you think of the day you first heard this song. So many different themes and schemes wound into one perfect 5 or 6 minute piece.
"...I wonder why I live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the room I'll live my life forever? I wonder why in L.A. To live and die in L.A. I wonder why we waste our lives here When we could run away to paradise? But I am held in some invisible vice And I can't get away To live and die in L.A."
I LIKE THIS SONG IT HELPED ME AND MY BUDDY THREW FLIGHT SCHOOL BACK IN THE LATE 80s dam good old days KEEP ON ROCKING GUYS NOTHING IN THIS WOURLD THAT MAKE YOUR DAY YOUR OWN SONG TO LISTEN TO AND TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME LETS PARTY
These artists are remain the same as simple as modest as moving contrary to Depeche Mode sort of caricaturizing themselves though great and deserved success
I feel like the tempo is off. Vocals could sustain a bit longer, and the piano is far too quick. This is probably halfway to an alternate, slowed version that I'd appreciate. The bridge and outro have a nice pace though.
In truth, it's a very sad song.... and this acoustic version brings that out, wonderfully.
Geez, I love the Original and this version. ... way underrated band.
After thirty two years I'm falling in love with thus song.

Yep. Everyday.
It was the Best of times, a lot of Great Movies and music

The beginning of that song is TIMELESS. I've loved it, always.
I've always loved this song. I just discovered this live, acoustical version, yesterday. Amazing performance. What a great find.
Bravo!!! Still a gem of a song with strong lyrics hitting upon the L.A dream which really isn’t ……………….

"...I wonder why I live alone here
I wonder why we spend these nights together
Is this the room I'll live my life forever?
I wonder why in L.A.
To live and die in L.A.
I wonder why we waste our lives here
When we could run away to paradise?
But I am held in some invisible vice
And I can't get away
To live and die in L.A."
I still love this song. I generally don't care for remakes or acoustic versions, but this remains faithful to the original.

Sublime💕💕
Incredible movie.

Such a tarmac eating, i don't know where i am going but i am going somewhere, escaping the night, headlights pointed towards the dawn- kinda song.
ese arregló quedo para siempre en la cultura pop
Wow!
WOW!
oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a good performing.......wang chung knows!!!
I wanted this song in GTA V To Live and die in Los Santos lol
Sweet. Can't wait to see them in Seattle on the 21st!
Wow
I agree. They did one heck of a cover of Nelly's Hot In Herre.
Mark my words- I will return to the west coast soon!
what the fuck? this is AWESOME
These artists are remain the same as simple as modest as moving contrary to Depeche Mode sort of caricaturizing themselves though great and deserved success
Would make a brilliant closing song to a movie. Dare they remake it, a hard hitting 80's classic for the 21st Century?
No they should not remake it, although i heard that William Friedkin is working on a TV series of it, which I'd be down with!
well it was the main theme of a movie called, 'To live and die in L.A.' but it is rather haunting towards the end
Wow! Incredible performance. Did they record "Wait" too?
Wait is another great song, totally agree.
The base guitarist looks and sounds like Alan Rickman!!
Great tune... but the FOH sound dude should be barred from digital delay.
Check Out The Movie.. Wang Chung Tonight Is Song They Are Famous for Except This Album Was Better. Really Sad✌
Incredible soundtrack to what was a cult classic or average film, depending on your point of view.
hell YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Its not an accoustic version with a synth and electric bass. Just sayin', i still love 'em!
Guys singing fine. Wonder why he's so self conscious.
alternative version, no acoustic
I feel like the tempo is off. Vocals could sustain a bit longer, and the piano is far too quick. This is probably halfway to an alternate, slowed version that I'd appreciate. The bridge and outro have a nice pace though.
thats not 2pa 😢
No 😂 way...
Yeah its good but it will NEVER be good as that sick version you took off youtube from the 80's
Not great, but everything deteriorates with age.
You don't get it. But, it's alright.
