hey, shaun, Carol was amazing with Paul Hardcastle too, infact Hardastle even attributed most of his success of the 1986 hit " Dont waste my time" to Carol, she is an amazing performer. James x
So true! Loved the alternative 80s (and some of the cheesy tracks,) but Heaven 17 were amongst the legends!!!!a hairdressers named the shop after H17s album Penthouse and Pavement ! 🥰80s love!!!
thats right. Thats when we had labels with great A&R. Spilled a little into the 90s... then the web fucked it up. Next time folks decry poor music - its your fault. stay off the streamers.
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Heaven 17 and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
Brit *Gov* ruling 'elite' took lives, inc. their 'own' w'class citizens, shipping as slaves to US plantations. Danish Vikings & African pirates kidnapped the Irish, the Brits also had the Romans added to that; what country in the world has an innocent history?
I never get bored of listening to this song, it should reach the top of the charts. The girl did amazing vocals on this track. One of the best songs of the 80’s, sadly nobody can make music like this anymore
Not long after this came out my parents took my brother and I (aged 12 and 13) for a pub lunch one Saturday in Primrose Hill, London. Glenn Gregory walked into the pub about half way through and I don't think I've ever been more star struck. In my memory he was wearing a floor-length black coat but maybe I've embellished the memory over time.
Pretty much every famous person ever. At some point in their life. Has lived in Primrose Hill. That's probably why it's so expensive. To live there 🤔🤨😆
We saw them in Cardiff last night. They were absolutely amazing. Just as good as the 80's, better actually. They had so much fun on stage. They had everyone singing and dancing
I spent an absolute fortune on the jukebox in our local pub, playing this amazing song, when I was at University in the 80s. Still an absolutely classic, what great days for music they were.
I was a year old when this song was released. I can't have a week within listenning to it and my 4 year old daughter loves it too! Thanks Trainspotting!! ✌🏼😁❤️
Was grateful to see Heaven 17 perform in Dubai last week 42 years later having bought all their albums They were brilliant creatively and critically lauded as such during 1981 and I loved every moment of their show.They were so good it brought back so many memories and a few tears as well Thanks guys for just being so awesome and brilliant on the night 😊
I didn't fully appreciate just how good Heaven 17 were back then. I went to see them Live last year at Guildford and they were still so good to listen too
Great record. I love the 'Cabinet of Dr Caligari' type set they used. If they had shot it in black and white Glenn would have looked just like an actor from a silent German expressionist film.
I went to the dentist, he had the radio on. Had a wisdom tooth that had to come out. Dentist gave me the needles in the mouth, then as he grabbed the tooth, this song came on. And when the first chorus kicked in - POW!, out came the tooth! Quick and easy. Thanks Heaven 17! 😁
This is such a great track, the production and execution are spot on, love the rousing way it builds. Music is nothing like as good as this, these days.
I know plenty of wankers n there's a fair bit 2 go since Rents said that class line. Have u read Porno n Dead man's trousers great books esp the latter all the gang are in it.
HEAVEN 17 goes back to the 1980 very forward for time thank you sharing a wonderful beautiful song 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The actual singer didnt want to appear in the video so they got a page 3 girl, this chick, that looked exactly like the singer . She's still good at lip syncing though
NO other song reminds me more of the 80's than this. My first house party, my first drink, my first girlfriend, my first crush, my awakening all happened with this song.
So glad that the 80s are a part of me like my blood. There is not and will never be a similar period in music like the 80. Such a great collection of beautiful talented people with a divine voice ❤.
Omg my teenage memoories come flooding bk when i listen to Heaven 17. So Blessed that 1980 i was but 16 years old . Music Is Life. That's why our hearts have Beats
Definitely in my top 3 greatest 80's tracks , whats amazing about this track is the constant tempo changes & How smart you would need to be to create it, the climax at the end of the track is genious and the whole track opens and closes perfectly, its inclusion in the nightclub scene of Trainspotting really added something aswell
Probably one of the first songs that got me into metal and more extreme music without knowing, this song hits hard like a sledge hammer, wonderful energetic stuff.
Loved Heaven 17 & Duran Duran... Childhood was amazing due to music like this! Now we have Governments at war with the people! STAND, FIGHT IF NEEDS BE, PREPARE FOR YOURSELF, FAMILY & FRIENDS, BE READY TO SURVIVE!
I've never been closer I've tried to understand That certain feeling Carved by another's hand But it's too late to hesitate We can't keep on living like this Leave no track Don't look back All I desire Temptation Keep climbing higher and higher Temptation Adorable creatures Temptation With unacceptable features Temptation Trouble is coming Temptation It's just the high cost of loving Temptation You can take it or leave it Temptation But you'd better believe it You've got to make me an offer That cannot be ignored So let's head for home now Everything I have is yours Step by step and day by day Every second counts I can't break away Leave no trace Hide your face All I desire Temptation Keep climbing higher and higher Temptation You can take it or leave it Temptation But you'd better believe it Step by step Day by day Every second counts I can't break away Keep us from temptation (x3) Lead us not in temptation All I desire Temptation Keep climbing higher and higher Temptation Adorable creatures Temptation With unacceptable features Temptation Trouble is coming Temptation It's just the high cost of loving Temptation You can take it or leave it Temptation But you'd better believe it You've got to make me an offer That cannot be ignored So let's head for home now Everything I have is yours Step by step and day by day Every second counts I can't break away Leave no trace Hide your face Trying to find it Temptation You've got to get up behind it Put your dime in the hot slot Temptation But it's a million to one shot Temptation You think that you're right Temptation Your gonna face it tonite now Temptation Give me a breakdown Because it's time for a shakedown Temptation (x10) Then repeat last verse Eg. Trying to find it Get up behind it Dime in the hot slot Million to one shot Think that you're right Your gonna face it tonite now Give me a breakdown It's time for a shakedown
