I haven't realised that Chris Cross passed away at age 71 in March 2024. That was so sad. God bless him. I'm sure he was a great musician. He might be gone but not forgotten and he will be sadly missed. 🙏
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!
Totally right! I've been listening these last two years a lot of Midge Ure and Ultravox, it's great! It's so cool to keep discovering awesome "new" songs of the past.
During 1980 and 1981 and in to 1982, there was an underground pulse in the country if you were of the right age to feel it. It was like something primevil waking up and stirring people. An undercurrent of Nuclear war, spies, movie stars and glamour. The music that created was cinematic and grand and it grabbed you by the head and the heart. What an incredibly epic time to be alive it was. I would go back in a heart beat.
Reminds me of Hunter Thompson describing the 60's, there's always something incredibly fascinating about the era you are in, we just have to find what it is about this era. Could be that this era is just bad. It's in the realm of possibilities.
I had my 3daughters copy each drum scene and who was the best won 50p or what we had. Great fun and still today my eldest plays this track as loud as can and drums her part but knows all. Magic
So blessed to be a true-Eighties teen, turned 17 in '80 ... Radio on all day at work, money in our pockets to buy the amazing tunes hammered out at us, partying in the pubs & clubs of England any & every night we could with our friends!! Priceless memories for those lucky enough to have been in the pubs & clubs of England at this brilliant time in music history. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Well, I turned 10 in 1980, which means that I've spent my whole teenage years in the 80s. It really was the best time to be young, with the best music and lifestyle ever. ♥
@@blackvelvet4056 I was the last school-leaver age who made it into the workplace to be blasted 8 hours a day with fantastic music, money in our pockets to party with our friends in the evenings. The '80s was only great up until '84/5 -- nothing magical happened after that I can assure you. I got to party at the best years of the '80s in the pubs/clubs of England. You'll never know what a fantastic time you missed!! 😂❤🔥💥
I love Midge' s voice in songs : Vienna - The thin wall - Vision in blue- Passing strangers: his voice had direct- strong - high- metallic- modern- and much more that I don' t explain. Classic .
@@anthonycoleman1909 He has a way of projecting a sense of destiny and drama with his voice, as if something strange and numinous is just around the corner. David Gilmour has some of the same impact with his guitar. The swirling synths and drums in this song sound amazing - huge pans across the stereo image.
Ruhe in Frieden Cris Cross . Ich bin seit den 80'er Jahren großer Ultravox Fan . Die Nachricht hat mich sehr berührt . Deine Musik bleibt in guter Erinnerung . Habe immer eine CD von Ultravox dabei im Auto .
Yes, I remember hearing this for the first time around '82 and it sounds absolutely HUGE in that stereo soundscape - the synths, bass and drums coming like majestic waves and shifting in tone, a bit like the way an old-style train would change its sound when passing, due to the Doppler effect. 1:22-1:37 is one of the most striking sections when it comes to this (the inspiration from Bowie's Berlin albums is clear enough but it still sounds amazing)
such an incredibly catchy song from the 80s, sorry not a song, this is a masterpiece!!! The music, melody, lyrics are top notch quality. Midge Ure has a great VOICE.
Takes me back to a time where pubs were so thick of smoke, you needed a lighthouse to guide you to the toilet in the corner. Absolutely cracking track and another one of those songs that just sounds so 80's.
The best way to listen to this is in the dark. With headphones. On the record player you got for Christmas 1981. I'm slightly worried that "Rage in Eden" is marginally older than my wife, but it doesn't keep me up at night.
The quintessential 80's group with possibly one of their best ! Superb ! They still sound amazing and don't have even a glimmer of the usual 80's cheesiness ! Amazing class, still shines through the decades !
Lol, there was so much versatility and originality in the 80's that it is a decade for which there can be no "quintessential 80's group." Technically Utravox were a 70's group. Perhaps Flock Of Seagulls would be a more "quintessential" choice.
@Steve Rose Lol, Dude, I totally know that. I was a follower of both Ultravox! and Ultravox. I was one of the very few to see both versions, John Foxx and the Midge Ure. The Foxx version has much better quality control. After Vienna, Ultravox really waned in quality.
I have been heavy into Ultravox since 1985. I still can't get enough of them. Very Classy, beautiful, Handsome band. The Epic of New Wave Music. Nothing compares to Ultravox. Absolutely Beautiful, Lovely Music. The 80s we're the best Decade, Ever!!!!!!!!! Keep wearing your stylish 80s clothes and pins of your favorite Bands. Long Live Ultravox and Rodney on the Roq!
Midge Ure has a great voice. So much expression. I just loved this growing up in the 80s. Listening to it now gives me so much nostalgia. The 80s were an amazing time to grow up in. So carefree.
Ultravox is the greatest band of the 80’s I remember like it was yesterday listening to them on my Walkman especially when I was in Milan starting my modeling career in 1986. I still listen to them every day while I’m driving
Had this recorded on my tape cassette when I was a teenager. How life has changed since then. This song hasn't changed, still sounds brilliant! Thank goodness for RUclips!
Wrong. You just became the old fart who bleats “it was always better in my day” in total disrespect to the fine contemporary musicians out there. Start with Aldous Harding and REN, and keep going.
My older sister used to play this a lot on her VHS with many other videos she recorded from the TV music shows back in the days. I was only 10 too lol Ahhh the nostalgia of great music!
The shape and the power of the voice - indeed! Being held captive in an FM radio station for many of my early years, I was extremely grateful to have been exposed to the Ultravox mind contagion at a key developmental stage. Thankfully, this developed into a profound case of 80sitis, in turn progressing to that most severe of conditions: becoming a purveyor of fine music at a record bar as the 80s turned into the 90s. 🤣 A great time to live. Great years to have ears... A great time to spin discs and hear those sounds. Some incredible years for music. 👍
I travelled to work with a pal who loved Ultravox. I always knew when he arrived at my house by the base line of the voice blasting from his car! Happy days before the world went mad!
As a keyboard player I’ve always marvelled at Curries synth solos. No doubt something to do with his classical training on violin, the way he shapes and slides. Brilliance.
The Voice was one of the first and one of the very few Records that i ever bought when i was a teenager. I was 13 and i hardly had enough money to buy a sandwitch,let alone a Record. 😆 I was so hooked on the Song,i can clearly remember me playing it time n time again.I can also remember playing the B side,Paths and Angels which i also found great.
They were a Great New Wave band, I think Warren drumming really was amazing.Midge voice is the voice, deep and sexy, hard to define. Bass and Keys goes without saying.Awesome.!!!!
This is not synth-pop. (I have nothing against early 80ies synth-pop like Yazoo and the first Depeche album, to name two.) But this is synth-ROCK - and in 1981, this was as good as it got. (If Led Zeppelin had used synthesizers ...) Ultravox's Rage In Eden was a gangbusters album in '81. It still is.
Infact i prefere Midge ' s voice in songs : Vienna - Thin Wall - Vision in blue- Passing strangers ecc because very strenght- metallic- modern-pure energy- direct and much more that i don' t say.
the best thing about turning 60 around now, is that at the time of bands like ultravox i was at the end of my teens and into early 20's, a good age to fully appreciate music, and by the time the shite music appeared in the 90's and i was 30, i was already too busy at work to listen to any of it
This is my life, this is my youth, this is when I was alive as opposed to just existing now, enjoy your youth, because one minute you are hip, the next watching You tube
@@haydenwittig8877 yes a fine track. Pre MU I think, presumably still with Visage. Reminds me of Soft Cell Memorabilia, both so ahead of their time. The Cocteau’s had some great B-sides as well but their music was borderline genius anyway
I saw them and i was so awesome!!! I'm gald that i was there in the 80s.. everything in the 80s and 90s ... until 2004... everything after was charging... who needed technology, when you lived then!!!
@@jackgammon4084 but the british guy did more re the song and getting the artists to perform and should be on an equal footing at least we should have our very own Sir Midge Ure simple as that
@@joescott483 I see what you're saying - Midge did more than just perform - he co-wrote the Band Aid song and co-organised the Live Aid concert and did other charity concerts. Seems somewhat unfair he only got an OBE. What a man and musician.
U571...I had to order VIENNA. ..waited a week ..gotit then the stupid w ¥₩*$#@! Bought Joe dolcie. ...shut ya face shit...just a prelude to today's idiots...no taste. ...no sense...rebel!?!ya#@!@/$?*&%÷##...algebra..solve that...o
I literally discovered this in 2024 after listening to one of my favourites of Ultravox: Dancing with Tears in my Eyes, which I listened to enough to drive parents nuts. great music!
Masterpiece!Such a timeless cool about the vocals, lyrics and video.Has aged way better than most stuff from that decade, sounds downright contemporary! Ultravox is that rare band where the verses are every bit as catchy as the choruses, like in this one, "MIne For Life"; "Hymn" and "One Small Step".
TOP 15 Ultravox 01. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes 02. We Stand Alone 03. The Voice 04. I Remember 05. Love's Great Adventure 06. The New Frontier 07. Passing Strangers 08. Reap The Wild Wind 09. Vienna 10. Hymn 11. Visions In Blue 12. We Came To Dance 13. Mine For Life 14. Cut And Run 15. The Song
Been a fan since “Slow Motion” was gutted when John Foxx left. However I think Midge is fantastic with quite an aggressive vocal style and a nice guy to boot.
I LOVE this band saw them in Toronto 1982 was mind-blowingly good so powerful and mystical ! Something deffo going on in this video, I wonder who the 'light' was...? My Dad met Midge as he came to the Air Canada cargo dept to sign for their gear and never got an autograph for me damn it!
My all time Fav Ultravox song. Love the intro! Especially love the bridge release @ 2:59 ~ Also a beautiful transition @ 1:24 that's about the same epic'ness...
I wasn't quite old enough to fully appreciate how good the 1980s were. Being a kid around that time was good but if I was a bit older and old enough to go clubbing and pubbing and buying records it would have been so much better.
Agree but this direction of the band started out with the last album named System of Romance which was recorded with their previous vocalist. I too used to think that U.vox was equated to Midge Ure but after hearing that album I changed my mind a bit.
it was different ages, second half of the 70th and 1st half of 80th... they had a well shaped project of 3 albums with john foxx, produced by brian eno at their beginning then changing their path when entering midge ure. you can understand we have sort of 2 different bands
@@XanAxDdu The core stayed the same. It wasn't simply about changing vocalists, everyone contributed. That's why there's a continuity as well as innovation.
@@ВладимирКруглов-к9о for sure we have a band into crossing the years and producing sort of avantgarde pop rock made by punk electronic something coming as from krautrock then hard rock and celtic folk beat so for sure they always tried to maintain an identity while making innovation for me the best band of that age remains the police the most creative and for me also till today so out of range. other strong bands from late 70 and early 80 have been japan and david sylvian, talk talk, tears for fears and depeche mode. though also simple minds and u2 .... everything but the girl and level 42 were also very performative

You will be remembered as a legend.
Yep
Yes, rest soundly.
That is not Christopher Ross…it’s Midge Ure

They still sound incredible. My favorite British band ever.

I'm in my 50s, and t was a Dreamtime for music with so many great bands. We were so lucky to grow up in that era.
Agree with your words i'm 55yo
Amen
I'm with you buddy
Same here. So many good bands and music during this period and still valid…
The 80s ...in particular the early 1980s were " the best of times "
Totally agree, not a care in the world
from mid 70's
Yup, ended when Madonna showed up...
1979 to 1983
1981. Great year for powerful music.
I love Ultravox !!! They had such an advanced sound. Still holds the test of time for those of us with true taste.
Rush took some ideas from them back in the days.
Totally right! I've been listening these last two years a lot of Midge Ure and Ultravox, it's great! It's so cool to keep discovering awesome "new" songs of the past.
You are right. They were so unique.
Same as that. Always liked Ultravox but in the last 12 weeks, have grown to love them 👌
@@carlosabadvargas1979 Yup. They drew inspiration from many bands. And both bands are unique.

We were so lucky
Art is long, life is short, and this is great art. A masterpiece.
yes it is
Ultravox had about 3 or 4 masterpieces just in 1981.
Are you talking about when he sings.."In strong low tones"? I think that is the best part of the song.
Well put
I had my 3daughters copy each drum scene and who was the best won 50p or what we had. Great fun and still today my eldest plays this track as loud as can and drums her part but knows all. Magic

The drop between the chorus and the verse at the end is what makes this for me.

It's like ghost but more Euro Satanic

Quite possibly some of the greatest pop music produced in the 1980s. And a philosophical masterpiece.
This song is massively underrated.
Video, too.
Loved Ulravox. I have their greatest hits on cd. They have a brilliant catalogue of hits. Songs are great. So are the videos. Fantastic band.
underrated by who? It was a total hit back in the day. xD
My second-favourite Ultravox song (Hymn is my first).
RIght! I don't know HOW I missed it. I grew UP with Dancing with Tears in My Eyes!
One of the best bands of the early 80s. Stands tall amongst Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Human League, Spandau Ballet, Thompson Twins, Wham, ABC, ......
.... and Culture Club, OMD !!
Stands above those bands IMHO.
Oh what days they were. I loved the 80's more than any other time in my life.
Alphaville
@@lm10legend77 The best!!
I think Ultravox videos of this time are greatly underrated !!!
such an incredibly catchy song from the 80s, sorry not a song, this is a masterpiece!!! The music, melody, lyrics are top notch quality. Midge Ure has a great VOICE.
The change to the minor chords in the chorus is mesmerising!
Yesss! Exactly!
you know music, my friend
Das bekommen die wenigsten in dieser Perfektion so hin
The bass is amazing on this track.
RIP Chris Cross.
Awsome ....shut your eyes and your propelled back to a time that will never be repeated!

One of the reasons why I liked Ultravox videos is that they wore 1940s clothes: superb style; superb music!!
Good taste in music just like me.
Midge Ure has a great voice. So much expression. I just loved this growing up in the 80s. Listening to it now gives me so much nostalgia. The 80s were an amazing time to grow up in. So carefree.
Ultravox at its best! Atmospheric and unashamedly bombastic!
Still very very very modern and timeless after all this time, well written songs allways stand the test of time, kudos to midge ure and his band
True, very classy sound (and look! ).
You guys got me through my childhood. Will love Ultravox forever ♥️

Such a great song from Ultravox.. like all their classics.. absolutely outstanding... compare this to today's so called music..no contest whatsoever!
An admirable analysis

Totally
Propaganda..

What is it
They were a Great New Wave band, I think Warren drumming really was amazing.Midge voice is the voice, deep and sexy, hard to define. Bass and Keys goes without saying.Awesome.!!!!
His voice!!amazing !!!midge the face of the 80's Ultravox great Synthepop ever
This is not synth-pop. (I have nothing against early 80ies synth-pop like Yazoo and the first Depeche album, to name two.)

Infact i prefere Midge ' s voice in songs : Vienna - Thin Wall - Vision in blue- Passing strangers ecc because very strenght- metallic- modern-pure energy- direct and much more that i don' t say.
One of the best videos of the 80s in my opinion. Set design, costume and direction are bang on.
Many videos from the 80s are like small movies with a story. I agree, this one is the best.
The powerful voice he had.
Speciale his background voice the heavy sound and his voice togetter amazing
He still has. I saw him live recently and he still sounds flawless
The message is still clear in 2023. I guess this song is timeless classic.
I've been looking for this song ever since I lost my Sony AHF cassette tape. I heard it on FM 10 years ago. From Okinawa
the best thing about turning 60 around now, is that at the time of bands like ultravox i was at the end of my teens and into early 20's, a good age to fully appreciate music, and by the time the shite music appeared in the 90's and i was 30, i was already too busy at work to listen to any of it
Proud to live in the 80...
This time was the best...
Ultravox was my first concert with 15 at the "Theater des Westens" in Berlin👍
Huge fan of Ultravox .Every track pure new romantics .Brilliant
This is my life, this is my youth, this is when I was alive as opposed to just existing now, enjoy your youth, because one minute you are hip, the next watching You tube
My favorite band in the '80s...or as my friend Mark always said, "They're the only band that matters."
Such a great song. Dare say, hidden classic. Just exudes a cool but mysterious vibe
James i agree listen to paths and Angles the B side from Rage In Eden.
@@haydenwittig8877 yes a fine track. Pre MU I think, presumably still with Visage. Reminds me of Soft Cell Memorabilia, both so ahead of their time. The Cocteau’s had some great B-sides as well but their music was borderline genius anyway
You can dare say! I practically lived in an FM station in the 80s and I barely heard this one! - but it certainly did stick in the mind.
This band elevates you. Tell your friends.
Still a masterpiece from the 80s. ❤
Remember playing this on vinyl in the eighties. Takes me right back to that time listening now. 👍
One of Britain’s greatest ever Singers with a Keyboard Genius!! Sublime and touching Masterpiece! Fragile and Brave Song!
I had 2 dates with Jim when I was 14. We went to the cinema and saw "Willard". It was awful and we left early. The second date we went to a cafe.
There is certainly a level of sophistication that you don’t often find now.
I saw them and i was so awesome!!! I'm gald that i was there in the 80s.. everything in the 80s and 90s ... until 2004... everything after was charging... who needed technology, when you lived then!!!

Forgot how good this was, the chorus is fantastic
We are now entering a world where every word , every look, every action is being judged by someone , somewhere.
Gems like this one are forever immortals
Just brilliant, so much music so many 80s artist so talented we had the best decade ever.

Lots of synthetic but the drums are all manual. Warren Cann was on point on every Ultravox track he played on. Superb.
Masterpiece!Such a timeless cool about the vocals, lyrics and video.Has aged way better than most stuff from that decade, sounds downright contemporary!
Ultravox is that rare band where the verses are every bit as catchy as the choruses, like in this one, "MIne For Life"; "Hymn" and "One Small Step".
The voice of conscience, among other things.

One Small Day is my favourite.
Been a fan since “Slow Motion” was gutted when John Foxx left.
However I think Midge is fantastic with quite an aggressive vocal style and a nice guy to boot.
I LOVE this band saw them in Toronto 1982 was mind-blowingly good so powerful and mystical ! Something deffo going on in this video, I wonder who the 'light' was...? My Dad met Midge as he came to the Air Canada cargo dept to sign for their gear and never got an autograph for me damn it!
Outstanding and outstanding album!
From their finest LP.
Absolutely superb, another classic from Ultravox!!!!! Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My all time Fav Ultravox song. Love the intro! Especially love the bridge release @ 2:59 ~
Also a beautiful transition @ 1:24 that's about the same epic'ness...
I wasn't quite old enough to fully appreciate how good the 1980s were. Being a kid around that time was good but if I was a bit older and old enough to go clubbing and pubbing and buying records it would have been so much better.
Impecable, e infravalorada, la mejor canción de Ultravox sin duda.
La mejor canción de quién??????
No no es la mejor hay otras dos tres buenas también
@@josecerezo1806 hay muchas otras buenas, pero esta es mi favorita.
This guy Midge Ure really MADE this band. Once he got in, they became a success.
Agree but this direction of the band started out with the last album named System of Romance which was recorded with their previous vocalist. I too used to think that U.vox was equated to Midge Ure but after hearing that album I changed my mind a bit.
it was different ages, second half of the 70th and 1st half of 80th... they had a well shaped project of 3 albums with john foxx, produced by brian eno at their beginning then changing their path when entering midge ure. you can understand we have sort of 2 different bands
@@XanAxDdu The core stayed the same. It wasn't simply about changing vocalists, everyone contributed. That's why there's a continuity as well as innovation.
@@ВладимирКруглов-к9о for sure we have a band into crossing the years and producing sort of avantgarde pop rock made by punk electronic something coming as from krautrock then hard rock and celtic folk beat so for sure they always tried to maintain an identity while making innovation for me the best band of that age remains the police the most creative and for me also till today so out of range. other strong bands from late 70 and early 80 have been japan and david sylvian, talk talk, tears for fears and depeche mode. though also simple minds and u2 .... everything but the girl and level 42 were also very performative
Wow. !! 💓 Ultravox 💓 80s Midge Ure Nostalgia. X 16 09 2022 Maghull. Liverpool. England 🇬🇧 The Voice RESPRCT. DIGNITY.
Great Memories 'THANKYOU ❤💜💙
I still have the Vinyl Longplay Record "Rage in Eden" from 1981. It was the most played album in my first car in 1981.
Going to see Midge Ure in concert tonight. My chance to relive a bit of the eighties.
