Haha still? On the record he’s very out of tune on that one. Until the vibrato comes in at least. Love the song though, one of my all time favourites. If he’d just hit that note it would be all perfect.❤
For all those who were born between 65 and 72 (more or less)......these memories causes Goosebumps - do they??? It's wonderful especially when you grown up in these times
If you don't get goosebumps, you are dead. Loved it in 1981 and still love it. Brings back memories of my mother, who just died a year earlier much too young.
WOW!!!!! That was fantastic. Wish I had been there. I'm 68 now and I was 25 when this great song came out. Great music back then and I'm still listening to it.
I saw Soft Cell in 1982 in a nightclub in England called The Kirklevington Country club or "Kirk" where has that time gone?? Nearly 63 and want that time machine please.
Flawless performance! Marc’s voice still conveys the same emotion as in the original! I love that Dave didn’t try to “update” the original arrangement too! Crowd is awesome as well!
Live show is having same arrangement as the 1982 version. I also love the longer version with clarinet intro as well. It's just more tears I will cry the whole 10 minutes as well as this live show I will cry for the whole five minutes if I was at this show. They will appear at Cruel World Fest in Pasadena, CA this weekend
Mismatched young love. Almost indescribably painful. Marc Almond captured it so well with this song back in 1981. His voice flings your heart right back there...
I'm really really late, I'm new to this group, but I absolutely love Soft Cell. I was born in 2006, but appreciate them a lot. I love their music. I wish I had been alive in the 80s. Forever Soft Cell !
I love to see how youngs appreciate people/art/music like that. I was born in 1997 and I also love Soft Cell and other great 70- '80 artists (and the personal stories behind these artists, like Ball and Almond, in hard times to be an "outsider") . Big hug from Italy :)
This song means so much to me. It is very autobiographical of a time of me in 1982, living in my bedsit ... a confused and strange time of my life, when I was finding myself. Now nearing 60 I hear this and cry every time, thinking back to the me then...
I'm 23, and I love you. This version, this video, this song so sung after time, is something transcendental. Listen to it at full volume by watching the original official video, and then listen to it again by watching this: hold on to your handkerchiefs or any other piece of paper, you are warned. Thanks for this marvel. There are a thousand reasons to smile crying seeing all this, and anyone will find at least one very valid. Love, Goodbye, 🌹Monica.
Watching today a Netflix Serie it sound this song. It brought me such a nice memories. Laughing, crying, singing and dancing for the LOVE of music when i was 13. I came to RU-vid and found this video, i felt like being part of this crowd singing just to say thanks to you. I feel so gratefull for the music i grow up with . So proud of have lived this priceless times. LOVE you guys, thanks you.
As a LZ and PF fan, I got heavily critized when I included in RU-vid Soft Cell and Marc Almond amongst the excellent artists the UK has produced. But I stuck to my guns. Wonderful voice and lovely to see the young ones knowing the lyrics.
How can you be recording yourself and your friend singing while nearly everyone else is just enjoying it in the moment and watching the stage ., you know . How we used to enjoy concerts in the 80s, I can still remember them all ❤
This is weird,I literally just watched this and my first ever girlfriend who got me into soft cell in the 80,s just appeared in the street,never seen her for 30+ years and always wondered how she was getting on,and there she was!! She still looked absolutely stunning,I wanted to stop the car and talk but she was with her sister walking,it just would have been dead awkward,I just had an overwhelming urge to run across to her and just reminisce,to say how much she and that time with her meant to me,but she could have been married now,or whatever.This song really reminds me of her, my first love!! :-)
@@Strength-in-Union Oh,i see what you did there! I'll never have the chance to ask her now,'Where did our love go'?Or if she still held a 'Torch' for me? ;-)
I keep coming back to watch this again every so often and I tear up a bit its such an emotional song but it makes me feel joyous and sad at the same time ❤❤❤
I would have loved to be in this audience and singing to this amazing song! Marc seems like the most humble guy and I’ve been a fan since forever! Say hello, wave good ♥️🦩
I love LOVE singing this. This song hits a strong chord with me. Absolutely in love. Soft Cell has been my favorite artist since my early teens and still is and im going on 28!! Thanks mom lol wasn't for her i wouldn't love the 80s, but its my go to in my car lol. Forever and always!!! My 4 almost 5 year old loves the same music as me and yes she even loves this song lol i play it on repeat a lot when im in a singing mood lol. I will sing this someday somewhere lol i love this song one of my favorites!!
Wow first time watching this video and I got the chills!!! 😮 this is amazing !! Mark was so excited and so proud to be infront of this large crowd singing with him after all these years and still. Love these moments ❤ this song. Love ❤Soft Cell. I Wish good health and happiness 🙏🙏 Tami from Israel 🇮🇱
Standin' in the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain It was a kind of so-so love And I'm gonna make sure it never happens again You and I, it had to be the standing joke of the year You were a sleep-around, a lost and found and not for me, I feel I tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt And me in a suit but it just wasn't me You're used to wearing less And now your life's a mess, so insecure you see I put up with all the scenes And this is one scene that's goin' to be played my way Take your hands off me, hey I don't belong to you, you see And take a look in my face, for the last time, I never knew you, you never knew me, Say hello goodbye, Say hello and wave goodbye Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin' down Hey little girl you will always make up So take off that unbecoming frown What about me, well, I'll find someone That's not goin' cheap in the sales A nice little housewife, who'll give me a steady life And won't keep going off the rails Take your hands off me I don't belong to you, you see Take a look in my face, for the last time I never knew you, you never knew me Say hello goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye We've been involved for quite a while now And to keep you a secret, has been hell We're strangers meeting for the first time, ok? Just smile and say hello Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello, wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello, say goodbye Goodbye Say goodbye Goodbye
This was a brilliant night, me and my Mrs traveled from Edinburgh for this and we had an absolute blast, think we must have been the youngest there but the crowd was bouncing, the way it should be ;)
@@spacemonkey4811 yeah cant beat say hello wave goodbye live. I was over the moon to see them both together, seen Marc almond live more times than I can remember but to see them back together for this was something I'd never see. Class night but really hope it's not the last time!!
@@the16bitprick36 Dave has C.O.P.D., so I really don't see him doing more live work. Finished his book short while back, and they are doing a new album and the previous albums are being remastered and released on heavy vinyl. I had stubbornly always had a position that I would not see Marc solo until saw Soft Cell first. Did get to point of thinking I was just permanently rilling it out and then the news of the reunion happened. Them doing Tainted Love on top of the pops when it came out was one of my earliest music memories. The whole gig was a glorious joy, though Tainted Love/Where Did Our Live Go' & Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' made me very emotional. A gig I'll never forget.
@@spacemonkey4811 aw I didn't know that about Dave. I was the same tbh, only ever seen him at 80s festivals so he only really played soft cell tunes which is a bonus. Your lucky then, I was totally born in the wrong era (1993). Id have loved to have been a teen in the 80s, live through the rave scene and be a decent age for the brit pop era. Music out now is not to my taste so that's why I love the 80s festivals. Had about 5 lined up this summer but that's all gone tits up through covid so next year will hopefully be a big one!
@@the16bitprick36 I was only born in 76, so would have been 5. I was already into Adam and the Ants by then due to the Kings album. Seeing Tainted Love on TOTP was my equivalent of seeing Bowie on same show for those a bit older than me. It was my first awareness that this was my kinda thing and I was not conventional. I also had a whole summer of gigs scuppered, thankfully I have managed to plot a similar itinerary for next summer, so here's hoping pesky Covid is done and dusted by then.
Adoro esta canción..qué recuerdos más hermosos me vienen a la memoria..aquellos felices 80's! Tiempos de Libertad y de sueños! He tenido la suerte de asistir a conciertos de mi adorado Marc Almond..Gracias por tus canciones que forman para siempre la banda sonora de mi vida! I LOVE 💕YOU!
Wonderful ❤️ Thank you very much for the Joy and Happiness you brought us. 🎼🕺💃🎵 With Love ❤ Who's is listening to this amazing song and amazing singer and musicians in 2024? ❤
Grew up loving these guys Remember going to juicy lucys in corby northants and dancing my ickle socks off Never give up on these guys as when gone will never re appear Legends before their time
Heard this in a recent episode of a show, probably 3 to 4 years back it came out, and I'm thinking "this sounds just like 80s new wave, is that style coming back?!", only to find it's a great 80s ft, Soft Cell. Their other hits got such massive airplay, you forget songs like this... It even crossed my mind "this sounds like Soft Cell", but the show is contemporary, doesn't fetishize the 80s, so I didn't think it was an older song. Glad they got some airplay, though.
still makes me cry...top of the pops 1982-3 was quite staggering its all i lived for as a teenager. what hapened to all the melodies, all the songs??? feel so sorry for kids today they have a soulless tehcnologocal existence where nobody creates anything except tweets, selfies & posts. the world ended with apple and facebook.
