Yes, contemporary music lacks a coherent melody. That's why people like older music: it had a melody and you could hum the song. That's the gift of melody: hummable music!
Love the late 80’s Sophistipop. Hope that Basia gets a percentage of the licensing royalties for this song. Over the last 35 years I’ve probably heard it in malls, stores, airports and elevators many times.
Miło słyszeć że tam daleko sa ludzie ktorzy sa dumni z Polskich korzeni:-)W dzisiejszych czasach dużo Polaków pluje na Polskę. Pozdrawiam serdecznie. Emilia
@Jacques S You should be proud of her, my friend! She is every bit as good as all of the hype which precedes her, and then some!!! Fell head over heels for her sound 30 + years ago, slightly ahead of my marriage date. That made it all even better! God bless you, as well as Basia and her crew along with the nation of Poland!
Basia was (is) a force to wreck with. I saw her in person -along with Peter While and Spyro Gyra-. Her voice sounded 10 times better and more powerful! A solid talent all around.
Dobry pomysł i dobry wybór. Ryzyko jest takie, że ten piękny kawałek może się zacząć źle kojarzyć i któregoś dnia znudzić. Już tak miałem z niektórymi kawałkami, które bardzo lubiłem.
Its one of the them songs like Bill Withers Lovely Day, Spiro Gyro Morning dance, John Coltrane a love supreme, and Herb Alpert Rise to get your day started, like audio caffeine!!!
This song as released in the 80s is a total masterpiece -- perfection in vocals, production, mix... so far above the standard that it took millions by surprise when they first heard it and remains lodged in their psyche to this day as a beacon of style, class, and mysterious positive energy. Many the troubled souls comforted and encouraged when this song found them in the late 80s...
Saw her live at the Majestic in Dallas the same day that "Time and Tide" was certified gold. This was what she opened with. Packed house, scalping tickets outside. The look of shock on her face when she walked out onstage was golden. A co-worker had seen her a few weeks ago while vacation in New York and he'd said there were a lot of vacant seats. I believe she performed every song on the album, and the audience sang along to each one. She also performed some from the upcoming "London, Warsaw, New York" ("Baby You're Mine," "Best Friend," and "Until You Come Back To Me").
@@raymondasay5207Agreed. Here in Poland we had no idea how big she was at the time. Everyone knew she had quite a success in the UK, Japan and the US, but I for instance had no clue she performed on Carson, Arsenio and Letterman until very recently when I saw those clips here on YT.
Must add a voice to this.Basia voice and sound is sooo beautifull and the world is a better place because of the great sounds of the great women in music.
My dad had Time & Tide and Matt Bianco's Whose Side Are You On on Cassette when i was a kid and would play them all the time. I'm grateful that he did, since I'm a huge fan of both of them and have most if not all of their albums. Thanks Dad!
Basia Trzetrzelewska was probably one of the few women who introduced perfect pitch before we even realized that this existed and what this was.What a musical miracle and a fairytale come true.... That's why we love.... you! It's gonna be a new day for all of us!
This song brings me back to when I was first barely starting to appreciate music. I can't believe I'd forgotten about this song I can remember hearing and digging on the radio what seems like an eternity ago!!
In the late 80s there were so many talented British and European bands who effortlessly combined jazz, pop, dance, soul, rock in one. In one single or a 10-track album there was so much creativity and soul. Where did it go? Melody, rhythm, solos, upliftment, beauty and fun!
I scrolled up on this by accident, and have listened to this song like 14 times back to back....I remember Basia from the late 80's and totally forgotton about her....such ashame she wasn't bigger.....it's like Madonna, Gloria Estefan , and Sade & Swing out sister all rolled into one.....such a beautiful voice
I can't forget Basia, in the 80s and 90s She mesmerised me with her voice and songs, such a good singer! and coming from Poland was an additional interesting thing for me
