A Flock Of Seagulls - Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) (extended) 

Definitely man! Hell if I can take me and my whole family back to a time when life wasnt full of shit I would so go for it. Life was way better back in the 80s compared to today.

Can I come with you? Please🙏🙏🙏

@@Eirene30 Absolutely, the more the merrier.

Today is far better than 1980.

🖐🏼🕺💿❤

ziweiyuan, depends on what "modern standards" you're talking about. There is a lot of crap coming out today that sounds like something from the 70s. This track is from 35 years ago and it doesn't sound dated.

I'm specifically talking about the current trend to create music almost entirely on computers, with autotuned vocals.

So true !!!!

...ahhhhhh....ditto what u said....

I completely agree with you that part of humanity died as soon as we signed the pact with the internet devil

Don't cry We're working on a new 80's. Dan Spillane and George Haag shall transform these 20's into a fun and happy time

I feel the same way. The term "what are we going to do about the kids today?" They were cheated out of the coolness of what they have succumbed to this media blurring the sharpness of neat social frameworks. WHERE ARE THE HIP ONES? such is life. (Ce'st la vie)

@@steveward9304 yes!

Frankly the current era is one where many unsavoury things are going on with all kind of characters on planet.

So very no well said ❤️

I totally agree Anthony! Absolutely wonderful!

It's way better

Yes!!!! I love it!!!!

Just woke and this day could Never be right unless I listen to it...

Ok me tooawe ~

At 9½ minutes in length, I'm sure some people [not me] think they ARE listening to it all day! I'm with you, though. This extended version is outstanding.

I saw them in Foxboro with MTV. Opening was The Fix then AFOS and last was the Police. All of them were amazing!

Indeed❤

@@thomastrue673 Dayum, that would be a great show...sweet!!

The Fixx!!!

The e-bow really makes it. There are a couple of live versions with him doing the e-bow... so awesome!

It was the hardship of life and escapism.

Spot on

@@ashyclaret Then *why* in God's trousers. Aren't we making decent music now!!! ??

The British Invasion just kept coming and coming and coming, like we could do when we were young.😁

The brainwashing music that ushered in the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Great band the. best

wrap crap

Even a little earlier right at the 8 minute mark.

Never heard it, or anything beyond their hit. I got the needle going back and back and round and round again!

"five step instrumental buildup' forty some years later I can still remember how I lover that Heavy synthesizer part.

haro82 Awesome!

I’d put it on top 10 ever potentially

Plates?

A top10? The Eighties deserve at least a Top 50!! 😮😮

Very magical indeed!

I love so much 80's music

It has a flow that is hypnotic.

Its not the way it sounds it's Not the way that it rhymes Although there's something to it.

@@ShadowPlay1919 it's the age we had when we heard it the first time.

I had the same exact thing happen to me.lol

John , your friends never leave you . thanks for sharing. 💜 Peace and happiness always

Great story mate! Had a similar experience 20 years later. She got marries, I didnt...we are still friends

That is both sad and happy to hear simultaneously? Almost a reflection of real life perhaps ,. I am glad to hear that you are both happy. in any case, good luck to you both..

Same year for me 1983. Back in a time when our parents would drop us kids off at the park with a wad of cash to be frugal with and set a time in the late evening for a scheduled pick up. I was in love with a girl from school and we were at Astroworld in Houston in 1983 and Flock of Seagulls was playing at the amphitheater and they had been playing so many Flock of Seagull songs throughout the day into the evening around the park getting everyone pumped up for the actual concert. She had her friends and I was with mine and we were all girl chasing but we each had our 'girl' in mind that we had crushes on...same with the girls. And once my crush and I had some alone time getting some soda and flirting so freaking awkwardly at the age of 13 we finally kissed. It was right before the concert started. It was twilight outside and we had a nice hidden spot to kiss while the cool breeze of the evening whisped all around us...and this exact song Wishing was playing. It was so surreal I'll never forget it and to this day this song takes me back to that innocence of puppy love and friendships that only a true "Goonie" of the age would understand. Long live the 80's and long live the lasting most excellent memories trapped forever in time. Love to you all!! ❤💯

Sounds like a dream pop song that would've taken off in the last few years.

Guter Kommentar mein Freund und ich bin Brite

da bist'e nicc allein jewesen 😉

es waren nicht umsonst die "GOLDENEN ACHTZIGER" 🎁 🎹🎸🎹

fab song

The 0:07 to 0:40 is definitely the X factor of this song. Still listening & enjoying this song in August 2021 !!

my favorite part!

that the vcs3 i was talking about, pagan john

I think that's an eBow.

6400...NRG......the 80s in Houston was the greatest time in the history of man.......great time to run wild in the streets

I totally agree! The first time I heard it was at The Parade Club on Bourbon Street...DJ Ricki Merewhether.....I still feel the chills also!

I can relate! I first heard this at the Saint in Atlanta in 1983.....wonderful song!

Still gets me whenever I step on the dance floor at #'s since 1996.

Yes, peace...I feel it too! I'm prolly your parents age. Bless you.

'74 too

Its fantastic. Just absolutely fantastic.

@@yasin6118 it just is.

As soon as I get the bugs worked out on the Time Machine I’m going to visit these videos and round up everybody who wants to go back.

I absolutely agree. One of my favorite solos, if one would call it that, of all time: so simple and powerful. The way it resolves to the note at 8:28 never fails to give me chills. Thanks, Reno.

Wishing,I had a photograph of, something to remind me,I dedicate this perfect song to:*Miss Annette Oakley*who saved my lost Soule.Forevermore,Mr*Stephen*S*Chellgren***

Something to remind,me...of a very beautiful young lady...Amen..

Ferruccio Guicciardi --- When MTV was good

you smoke more crack and listen to your modern shut.

Matthew Evans I agree and we'll put my friend

@@chriswhite1584 What does 'we'll put' mean? 🤔 🤡 👊

I had no idea Paul used an e-bow on this song, and I would have had no idea back then for sure. I thought it was just more layered keyboards or synths! Wild. I was sitting here tonight learning Space Age Love song on guitar, turns out to not be that hard. It's all about the delay pedal!! chorus, and just the right amount of high end and gain.
