Lyrics:
Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying
As our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

I'm 67 and I cannot listen to this song without crying. About life in general. About suffering. It's a beautiful song always. 🎵
same here :(
Hermosa canción su melodía llega al alma
I could not agree with you more...great song!
Same here carol totally agree❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
Senti più su di renato zero

I agree
What an absolute classic .written by gary kemp,as a 53 year ol man from dublin ireland . It brings back so many heart wrenching stories from my country
Argentina Irlanda❤️🌟
It seems like most comments here, don't even understand the main theme of the lyrics... Peace.
maybe on an island you reside but most of the murder, misery and heartache was perpetrated by your fellow republicans ...to quote a very popular tv series " the north remembers "
Nothing written today comes close to the musical prowess of songs like this. Melodic, emotionally captivating, descriptive, expert musicianship. I couldn't tell you the name of one artist that has stood out for me in the last five years that comes close to the quality of music like this.
Just playing the instrument tells you they were talented and skilled. Your descriptive writing is pretty cool too.
👍👍👍❤️
One of the best songs ever recorded ❤❤❤
Absolutely TRUE...❤❤❤
I'm so proud to be 50 years old...because I was so privileged to be part of the 80's and the 90's musical revolution...I wish the kids of today could have been there with me...X
1969 💪💕🙏🎼
Exactly rightly said
I'm 50 too and I hit the like 50 to your comment. Lol.
fruit!
Absolutely true 🎶🎶🎶🧚🏻❤️🤟✌️
It’s 2021, I’m in hospital recovering from a heart attack. In between Netflix binge, I’m on a 80’s music binge - Tears For Fears, Duran Duran, and of course Spandau Ballet. Thank you 80’s bands.
Hope you get well soon. x
Keep listening Looi Boon , wishing you a great recovery. Keep healthy and stay strong xx

@@carolebarker2195 Thank you! x
@@sassysax9362 Thank you!
Gary Kemp.The most underrated songwriter ever.What a talent.
Aaahhh, the 1980s the greatest decade in human history. The best moments to be a teenager then. Iconic music, fashion, movies and everything about life. Good times. Better days. Unforfettable. Greetings of love and hope from the Philippines. Long live GEN X!
Totally agree with you. 80.s rules.
Very true.kabayan.
Gen X Bro, from Italy
I agree with you absolutelly ❤
You miss the Cold War?
I am 50 years too and I think the 70 and 80s were brilliant time. We had the best music and TV programmes I feel so sorry for the kids today and my daughter they have just got rubbish. Karen Armitage
😂😂😂 Good thing didn't last 😢😢😢
your problem, you forgot at one point you were "the kids of today" got rubbish??? you truly never ever understood your own generation
Funny, that... My mother said exactly the same about the music of the 50s and 60s and how she felt sorry for my generation and the rubbish we had in the 80s... The reality is, you just got old and bitter
Bellissima canzone e musica.
Mi piacciono molto gli standard ballet,il mio gruppo preferito degli anni 80.
Favolosi😊👏👏
@@DaveAndBeth1978 Thank you Dave. The music of the 70s and 80s never compared to the 40s and 50s. That's what the generation of that era would say if they were still here. Let each generation live their own story, not yours. Your folks who thought Bowie was a weirdo in the 70s and would rather Matt Monroe from the 50s, let you all decide for yourselves. So let the younger gen do the same.
I'm a 6ft 16 stone bloke and this magnificence makes me cry like a baby.
This is our tribute to the awesome band and the great man Tony: ruclips.net/video/2j48HMiU3g8/видео.html
Yep.. I get goosebumps when I hear it cos its so damn good. Some songs you just listen to them but songs like this you hear and feel them. x
😊😊😊
Nach zwei, drei Akkorden erkennst du dieses Lied und Tränen der Erinnerungen schießen dir sofort in deine Augen😢Du vergisst den jahrelangen Streit der Mitglieder der Band bezüglich der Rechte etc. und denkst dir wieso? Es gibt kein schöneres gefühlvolleres Lied aus den 80er Jahren, welches den Geist dieser Zeit ausdrückt❤️🖖
I became 21 in 1980, the disadvantage of this is that I am a really old guy now, the advantage is that I have grown with the best music ever; like this masterpiece, thanks.
😊👍🏻🎸🤘🏻
Absolutely one of the most beautiful songs of all-time, in my humble opinion.
I get chills without fail every time Tony Hadley busts out: "Now I know what they're saying, as our hearts go to their grave."
Bravo Spandau Ballet.
Bravo!
Not just a 80s song and song that still can be heard today
I agree completely, wonderful song, I find it quite haunting and ❤️.
This song was in tribute to Kidso Reilly shot dead by a British soldier on the streets of Belfast
I agree
That's 2 of us ......total agreement
A masterpiece written by Gary Kemp after a very emotive visit to Northern Ireland. I have to say I have not heard a more beautiful song for a very long time.
I was 21 in 1982, a wonderful time for me and the hair spray industry. Once a Spandau girl, always a Spandau girl..🥰
Your comment took me right back. I was an 18 year old Barman. Oh what times they were.
@@davidowen2859 Yes they were great times. I had one chin and protruding hip bones then..😂
@@MegaWelshie1 I had a 28 inch waist and 21 inch biceps but we both lived to tell the tale.
@@davidowen2859 That made me laugh out loud....😂😂

Thank you England for giving us classics like this
It was our pleasure. You're welcome.

😊100%🤘🏻🎸✌🏼
Today's pop music really makes you appreciate how good those 1980s band were.
Still listening in 2024, one of the best ballads ever sang and written
Beautiful song, especially when you know the story behind the lyrics. Listening today , June 2nd, 2024, Tony Hadley's 64th birthday 🎂
Tony Hadley is one of the most underrated singers of all time, he has a marvelous voice
You're not wrong
Very true. A considerably better singer than his counterpart Simon Le Bon from their rival Duran Duran
@@007ndc I love Simon's voice as well, but I think that Tony's is slightly better
Alan Ledesma, Tony Hadley could sing the listed ingredients on a cereal box and make it a hit song, just brilliant!!
I've never known him been underrated by anyone.
Sheer quality .. hair on the back of my heck rising and why are my eyes wet .. I’m 75 years young and have no answers .. heartbreakingly beautiful .. takes me to a happy time ❤️
One of the best ballads ever created... 👌👌👌👌
Yes i agree it is a great song
The year 2023..... on duty at the hospital.... and suddenly hear the music of the 80s + 90s. A pleasure for the ears for 5 minutes of silence. They used to know how to make music and even today.... it's still a pleasure for the ears of all the singers + bands of the past.😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩
My wife grew up in Belfast and adores this song. The homage to parents in the first two verses brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear the lines. A timeless classic.
This is our tribute to the awesome band and the great man Tony: ruclips.net/video/2j48HMiU3g8/видео.html

This is such a poignant reminder of my teenage years growing up in Northern Ireland. I met and fell in love with a guy from the other side of the divide in Northern Ireland. We tried to make it work but my parents like his were very staunch in their beliefs and past history of our wee country. Where Marty came from was a very republican stronghold and it was dangerous for him to date a girl from the other side of the barricades and if caught he no doubt would of got a punishment beating. Unfortunately the relationship couldn't survive on love alone. With the distance between us and the bitterness shown towards two contentious religions we reluctantly parted. To this day its one of my biggest regrets and I often think of him and what he's doing now. I still have a special place in my heart for him and always will 💕
So sorry really.....
What a sad love story you have. 😔
Well written allison..I was born in Belfast and completely understand..very sad this shite still goes on..blessings to you girl..ERIN GO BRAH.
I'm very sorry that the two of you had to go through that and that you still have to live with those regrets.
Poignant and humbled to read your message.. thanks for sharing . Stay safe and enjoy life
A great tune this, I’m 53 and a lad of the 80s I grew up in west Belfast where a cruel incident happened that give Martin kemp the creativity to write this song. It goes right inside my heart ♥️
This song gave Spandau Ballet the last of their 10 top 10 hits in the UK,in the winter days of the last few weeks of 1986 when it got to number 6.
Tony Hadley's voice sends shivers down my spine. just beautiful.
This song means a lot to me, it's about 2 people falling in love from different sides in the troubles in Ireland, we played this at my father's funeral because he was a farmers son yet the black sheep of the family, my mother was a poachers daughter, the interpretation fits perfectly, my mother was heartbroken when he died, This song means a lot to me.
That's the best thing I've heard in a while. So much love coming from natural mortal enemies. You sound like you have a good old fashioned country family, like me.
@@joannietrotter2344 you have my deepest Respekt ,also filled with love - friendly regards from Cologne-Germany
It's simply just a truly beautiful song, have lost both my parents too now so you have my deepest sympathies, you feel like an orphan don't you? Best wishes Sue x
❤️
Its a very beautiful song..
My 15 year old is listening to music from the 80's and loves it.
Although it is about Northern Ireland and I am a Spaniard, I always remember my father who died in 1988, 2 years after this song came out when Tony sings the line "Father made my History, he fought for what he thought would make us somehow free"... Great song, great band
Buona..notte..da..by..gio..sss..primo..e..Paola.. ferrari..in..by..gio..sss..primo...Milano.. italy...ciaoo
One of the most unique songs to come out of that era. Beautiful lyrics and melody. 💕
Totally agree with you
There is a book called across the barricades they go together. True story amd a great read.
@@orlawalsh926I remember reading that at school. Spandau Ballet wrote this song about the troubles in Northern Ireland. This song has a very special place in my heart ❤
This song is so sad and beautiful at the same time. Iwas born in 1968 and heard it often in my youth. When I am hearing it today, tears comes down again.
68 here as well...same feelings.. somewhere in time
Same goes to me
Anch'io sono del 1968 e ho le stesse sensazioni ed emozioni incontrollabili, la nostalgia è inevitabile. Saluti dall'Italia😊
I can't tell you how beautiful this song is. I did 4 tours in Northern Ireland between 1977 and 1988 and lost personal friends in units I served with and many other colleagues from other units - The Cheshire Regiment, Parachute Regiment, Light Infantry to name but a few - yet never hated the Republican movement and still don't. Whenever I get melancholy, especially around Remembrance Sunday time, this is one of my go to songs. I honestly don't think Tony Hadley knew at the time of writing this song just how powerful the lyrics are for those of us from both sides who suffered during the troubles. My friend Ted - an Irish Republican living in the UK - has said to me many times 'we shouldn't be friends Dave', but we are and I think that's a great message to send to people who think their differences are irreconcilable, Ted and I wouldn't have been friends during the times I served in the Province, but we are now and that's a great message to send. To my friends who lost their lives - Smudge Smith, Paul 'Cas' Cassisdy RIP - and those others badly wounded and maimed, I will always remember you, even if the twat politicians don't.
For me, this is the best song made, ever. The lyrics, the structure... It's even from my birth year 1986. How great is that!
What a band Spandau were. Tony Hadley seriously had one of the best voices in British popular music. It just soars. Fantastic record.
@@lindadodds6915 What is that in English fucktard?
Saw them in concert in Belfast back in the day. Fantastic
Have to agree as hes my cousin. My son used to do a Tony Hadley tribute show. He sung this song almost as good as Tony, who by the way, is a lovely guy. When at a family gathering at a restaurant he got up and sang Happy birthday to a lady at the next table. Saw Tony at The Stables theatre 2 days after winning Reborn in the USA
and Rick Astley
It still does...
God bless the british 80 s music. My life would be so empty without all the music from the british talented bands! This music will last forever and that s the mark of real art
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo!!!
La mejor época de la música pop!!
E Inglaterra fue la cuna de increíbles nadas y artistas!!
Qué suerte tuvimos!!
Thank you sir 😌
@@tontacarracelas3164 thanks Tonya to🤣🥰
@@briancanning9291 You welcome!!!
I am really greatefull to Uk!!!
Not only for music, also for the best documentaries in the world(BBC are la creme de la creme) and so many good series and movies!!
And of course the people.
The eighties are unmatched for quality music 🎶 😭
0:51 I beg to differ. For every great band in the eighties I'll give you 5 from the seventies .
The 60s and 70's as well.
I like the music from the 90's even better.
a very very good decade for sure but the 70,s beats the 80,s im afraid
@@fhelsperterrible decade for music 👍
80s music is and will always be the best. Phenomenal groups like Spandau Ballet are the reason why!
For danny 1973-2008 we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades. RIP. Your wife

One of the greatest songs ever written and performed by one of the greatest bands ever
This sounded fantastic live on Radio 2 today on the gorgeous Vernon Kay’s show. 6th feb 20 24
Tony‘s voice is better than ever!
My boyfriend passed away of a heart attack in 2020 this was one his favourite songs miss him so much
sending love to you
😢🥰
I hope you recovered a little bit from your loss ❤
By far and away the best song they recorded, in a high-quality back catalogue. The hook from Gary Kemp is genius and the way the tension builds is a masterclass. Then, to top it all, there's Tony Hadley's soaring vocals. That "there's always one escape . . ." gets me every time. CLASSIC.
indeed.. Lyrics + music fr the great talent of ouR composers.
I completely respect your opinion; well justified logically as well. Their song Human is superlative as well and probably my favourite.
@user-bm4ow6fh2x wasn't Human by the Human League?
I am 36 this year (2020) and this song reminds me of my late mother. She used to play spandau ballet cassettes in the car when I was a kid. Great memories. I would be honoured to have this as a song for my friends and family to remember me by. Strikes a chord with me like not many other songs could
your mother had good taste, hello from Paris, France
"Through the Barricades" est l'un des plus beaux sons des années 80 que je connaisse. ✨
"Friday's child is full of soul" 12 years before the Good Friday peace agreement changed Northern Ireland forever. They knew all along
This song is one of my absolute favorites from this time when I was young. Today, when I'm 60, I'm still listening. It's like time has stood still. Hello from Sweden!
Peter Ivarsson Hola!! Me llamo Juan David soy de Argentina, lindo tema musical de los 80, saludos.
Hello from the UK awesome track x
Hello from the UK, fantastic lyrics will never get old.
@@paulleahy6252 I agree!!!
Anche io ho 60 anni….li ascolto ancora molto spesso, e con immenso piacere. Quegli anni “80” che non passano mai …….!
Ho 50 anni e non smetto mai di emozionarmi con questa canzone stupenda ❤
io ne ho 60 e mi fa lo stesso effetto ^_^
Qua' la mano ✋
Idem
anche a me fa lo stesso effetto... :)
Io ho 56 circa....penso come té..ti saluto
Beautiful song, that lives long after it was written. Fabulous and, I used to love this band when I was a kid. Now nearly 54 years old. One of my all time favourites
"Oh I don't know where love has gone" line gives me chills❤️
Actually, the line is "mother doesn't know where love has gone".
hear until the end... Oh, I don't know where love has gone... ... as our hearts go to their graves... these lines are in my heart forever
@@fhelsper Actually that's at the beginning, I'm at the end🤡
@@fhelsper Why don't you listen to the whole song before chatting shit?
@@marthacunningham2028 Lol I know, they love to try to belittle people😉
What a tune. They certainly don’t make songs like that anymore. Loved growing up in the 80’s, I’m 50 now and it makes me sad to know life will never feel as great as it did back then when this song came out. Awesome tune
This is one that makes u stop, think and cry. An absolute gem. A TRUE classic. Thanks guys.
Your welcome dj midnight enjoy
The tears go stronger as the years get longer.
Was für ein wunderbares Lied❤ immer und ewig schön
I had heard this song a handful of times over 20 years, but never really took much notice of it. One night a year ago, I had a dream where I for some unknown reason had decided it was the most beautiful song ever written. I of course watched it many times on YT the next day, and was proven correct. My subconscious had obviously figured it out long before I did :)
The golden voice of Tony Hadley 👍👍👍
One of the great voices of all time.
Agreed! This is our tribute to the awesome band and the great man Tony: ruclips.net/video/2j48HMiU3g8/видео.html
Disfrutando de esta música en 2023. Gracias Dios por haber sido adolescente en los 80. Saludos desde 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Arguably one of the most beautiful songs - I love the 80’s music so much
2021. I'm here. We must keep feeling strong. Stay strong folks. Our time is coming. Hold your heads up high and reject the nonesense.
Well said Adam, stay true till the end of the road.
Agree. This song makes me feel so warm in our heart. Stay Safe and Be Strong.
2021. Here too, pushing through..✨🙏
True... 2021...If you are the 80s kid, stay strong and keep safe you guys....because we are all must be in our 50s by now...
2023 and still here
This song played at my mums funeral in 2015 almost 7 years ago. Still brings tears to my eye.
💔
Beautiful, Just beautiful - and to everyone who listens may good fortune be your companion.
When I try to think of the perfect melodic pop song this is the first that comes to mind. An absolute Masterpiece.
It certainly is. It gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it.
Powerful voice, impeccable apperance- this is Hadley's calling card💖
Incredibilmente bella...ricordi che affiorano nella mente ,tempi che nn ritorneranno mai piu...un saluto a tutti quelli che hanno vissuto i fantastici anni 80 come me.
Io cero
Io c'ero.... Avevo 12 anni quando la radio suonava questa canzone.... Ricordo le feste che venivano organizzate in casa .....e i primi lenti....che bei ricordi....
Mitici ricordi quante volte l'ho ballata, ricordi che come hai detto tu non torneranno mai più.
Giuseppe condivido pienamente.era vera musica e noi siamo stati davvero fortunati a vivere quel periodo prolifico di gruppi straordinari
Giuseppe a beati noi cke li abbiamo vissuti possiamo ricordarli con immenso piacere,,e con tanta nostalgia e le lacrime cominciano a scenderà ciao a tutti
It's an honor to see this video,now i am 50 yrs.old...reminiscing those days...when i was still young...
So many memories wrapped around this song...Glad I was part of that wonderful journey, so many of us here, wooo wooo😍😆🙅♂🙅🧔♀🙍Have a good life guys, don't get dragged down by the silliness of the present time, but only get the best of it, you can still find some good in it.
Great comments enjoy
It’s October 2022 and I’ve been going through some tough times these last 6 months . I’m nearly 50 and this song to me just settles everything and reminds me how far I’ve come. I’ll always love this song.
Well said Emma
Just remember 'you'll never walk alone' Emma.
Same. ❤
Love you Emma even though I have never met you. I am struggling myself but we need each other just know you are not alone.
Hi there Emma , I'm 56 , I really hope that in the time lapsed since you posted here, life has become somewhat easier for you and life is treating you more kindly.😊..... I too just like u have found my self struggling for several years now with a variety of different issues , some very serious and some not so, but nonetheless they are a heavy burden to carry at times,and I find myself questioning my very being. However like u I too have come along way and hoping for a little respite from the toils of life so I can push on with my journey and enjoy it to the fullest. Take good care of yourself Emma and know there's many many of us out here all trying to muddle through this unpredictable often messy thing we call life. Please know that you have a friend at the end of your fingertips who's routing for you and championing you on and always wanting the very best for you always.😊 ❤
I’m just turning 16 but I’ve learned to appreciate songs like this one because my father taught me to love music just as he loved it and us. This also reminds me that our parents always do their best to give us love, attention and support through the barricades. ❤
Chi e' qui oggi 22 gennaio 24...indimenticabile...struggente...splendida...
Tony, you still have one of the best male voices around. The band was and is still superb to listen to, timeless. Thanks for the moments lads.
Tony Headley surely is one of the best male voices!!! The song is fantastically touching, masterpiece!!!
So is Tony Hadley
Not Headley Lamarr.
Per quanto mi riguarda .....una delle più belle canzoni . Mi fa tornare indietro alla mia adolescenza. Semplicemente bellissima !
Has to be one of the most wonderfully evocative songs of all time...
Nel lontano 86 ero militare: ascoltavo questa canzone sulla branda con il mio walkman la sera, quando finalmente potevo riposare.. un ricordo indelebile, emozioni che provo tutt'ora. Quanta bella musica oggi è quasi dimenticata..
Listen to the song, how Tony emotes them, then read the lyrics.
Magic and glorious.
I want this played at my funeral.
One of the greatest voices ... under appreciated. Forever thankful.
He was a brilliant singer. Full of passion
Brings back so many memories of the 80's. Wish we could take ourselves back in time so much fun, laughter and bliss ❤️
For what it was, it was and still is....UNDERRATED. One of the 80's gems that not everyone knows about.
I'm now 60 and still looking for a time machine to take me back to the magical 80's I would relive them over and over.
Same age, if you find one take me too, fantastic times. I feel sorry for these young divs now!
Nothing BEATS the 80s, when I hear the song of Spandau Ballet, it's like I am in the TIME warp
Sono stati la colonna sonora di una storia importante per me .... quanti bei ricordi di gioventù . Gli Spandau Ballet meritano di essere ricordati sempre !!! Ottima la loro musica
Pure io ritengo che siano favolosi
Idem per me. Ma è durata pochissimo. In compenso, ci siamo ritrovati dopo vent'anni, cambiati, ma il brivido e le farfalle nello stomaco che entrambi abbiamo provato non siamo riusciti a spiegarcelo. Quante risate e quanti pianti che ci sono mancati.
@@lucianolancia530 Luciano anche a noi è capitato di rincontrarci dopo trent'anni! Entrambi impegnati cambiati ma vedendoci abbiamo provato quel brivido e le farfalle nello stomaco.... una storia che dentro di noi non avrà mai fine .
@@soniacoli8624 🥺 chissà se lo pensa anche lei, non me l'ha mai detto. Ma ho l'impressione di sì. Ma forse è meglio che si sia fermata con un solo abbraccio, troppi anni son passati e le cose non sono più come prima.
@@lucianolancia530 posso darti del tu?
Certo che la penso come te ....
Quell'abbraccio è stato intenso per entrambi ma non si può tornare indietro.... Resterà per sempre nel mio cuore
I’m 52 and so glad we had the best music around to listen to, if only the kids today had none violent gangsta rap to listen to, maybe the streets would be safer, and kids could be kids.
I'm 61 soon and I lived through the 80's (some how) and loved it, it was an awesome time for me, this tune is so hard not to put in my earbuds and sing-a-long, love this tune, it's my youth.
🙋♀️ Same. I'm nostalgic .... 🎶😥❤ We're getting old, aren’t we? 😉😄🤗😘
Same here! Born in '61 and 61 this year. The 80's was the best decade of my life, especially the music.
Beautiful song and an example of where a terrible tragedy, inspires something of incredible timeless beauty.
It is based of course, on a relationship set against the troubles of Northern Ireland, but was inspired by the song's writer Gary Kemp, visiting the grave of "Kidso" and then walking back down.the Falls Road.
"Kidso" was a member of Spandau Ballet's merchandising team who was tragically killed by a soldier on his return to Belfast, after a SB tour had just ended.
A case of someone so creative, being inspired by this senseless waste, that something of incredible depth, beauty, timelessness and pure emotion is created that can be an indelible mark on the troubles past, the living present and the hopeful future.
RIP "Kidso". This will ensure that your memory will live forever.
Well said. It's a powerful memorial to a life needlessly cut short.
@@eternalwheel Thank
You for your kind comment.
Jus a small correction. It's Thomas "Kidso" Reilly. He Was a good friend of a couple my uncles.
@@notbatman7331 My sincerest apologies. i.misread it. I shall correct it immediately. I meant no disrespect to him, or those you know that knew him.
@@eternalwheel Many thanks for your kind words.
One of the classic hits during my highschool days!
JUST 💕 WILL WIN THE BARRICADES
I remember when I heard this song for the first time back in 1989 as a kid, I thought then it was the most beautiful song i've ever heard and still I do. I still see me, like 7 or 8, in my mom's car as it moved through the road and "Through the Barricades" played, and still feel what I felt and see the autumn sun and how the light played behind the passing trees... The world was changing back then, as East Germany was collapsing while I listened to this song...
Someone in 2020? One of the most beautiful songs ever.
I am. But is one of the most beautiful song,not THE one.
Yep
I agree!
Si
Eccomi
28th December 2022... Few more days to 2023. Been listening to this powerful yet beautifully sad song when I just a schoolboy. Yet the lyrics are still so relevant even now. May everyone have a better year ahead. Be kind, more love, less hate. ❤️
Kisuke!
❤️🙏🏻
Jesus...loves us.❤
This is literally one of the Greatest songs that I ever found while browsing RUclips!
Martin Kemp said it was the best song Gary has ever written and Tony Hadley said it was the bands best song! Enough said.
I agree. Seen them play this live, one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Great song ! and Tony is a BREXITEERS!
Gary - what a songwriter. 👏
Phil Blundell a beautiful song
@@kingkane1051 And?
Ti tocca il cuore. Ti catapulta d'incanto indietro agli anni '80. Anche se avanti con con l'età riesce ad emozionarti già dalle prime note, a chiuderti gli occhi ed a ricordarti i sogni di allora.....
Adoro questo gruppo musicale specialmente questa canzone è adoro tony come la canta da brividi grazie.
We were so lucky to grow up s part of this generation, amazing music that people have at best replicated on a crap level
Wow a flashback born in 66 thought tonight to look for memories...🙏for me one of the greatest ballads ever written and performed by Spandau Ballet ♥️
Born 66 as well, 80"s was the best time of my life, all these songs just bring back the memories...
Together with my 12-year-old son, we listen to this 80's music, and he is also excited by the quality it has and the feelings it expresses
This is the best Song from Spandau Ballet
Although this song is about the struggles of war, it seems way ahead of its time. My absolute favourite Spandau song. This and Simple Minds Belfast Child.... Goosebumps....
And the Adventures. BROKEN LAND.
❤ 49 years old and this song always touches the heart strings 1986 what a great year for music
tbh, I never was a big fan of SB, but this song makes up for everything. the slow build-up, the climax, the drop and not to forget the lyrics come together for one of the best pop ballads ever.
I'll be 59 years old on Monday! This song holds a deep meaning in my heart! A child of "The Troubles" I came through! I chose no "side!" Rather I was told by a very wise man to form my own opinion! To not be swayed by those around me! To form my own opinions! I did! I came to know exactly what the word "indoctrination" means! I And now! So many years later (2022) here I am! It's still a very emotive song! It never fails to remind me of how things were! And I'm off to listen again! ❤️
Keep strong and keep your own way
Whoever that man was he was absolutely correct. We need more like him ❤️
