Spoons - Nova Heart (Live) 

Definitely one of the most underrated Canadian bands in the 80’s. In my opinion, they would have been more popular if they were from England.

The world seemed a much more innocent and happy place back then

Best version ever. Sandy's background vocals are haunting.

Burlington Ontario's best band. Well done.

I listen to it again and again in december 2023. I think it's one of the best live version of a canadian song in the 80's.

I remember when this song came came out. I was a young kid in the Army...decades flew by before I heard this again. Now I'm 60-years old and this song is on my Spotify. I listen to it all the time. Love it.❤❤❤❤❤

I have loved them for 40 years and finally met Gord and Sandy in downtown Toronto and got them to sign my Novaheart CD single. 🎉❤

I saw them opening for Daryl Hall & John Oates at the Forum in Montreal, they played Nova Heart at first, people were freaking out. I never heard something like this before. Very professional. One of the best Canadian Bands of the 80'S.

I love this song so much. The music in the 80s was so good. The Canadian music was really great.

thaats what i call pure canadian gold. awesomeness

Best live performance ever. Tks.

The most new wave song of all-time. Which makes “Nova Heart” one of the best records of all-time.

My god, Gord Deppe was the most beautiful guy on the planet. I had such a crush on him! Sandy taught me that girls didn't just have to be background singers or play tambourine. They could be important members of the band not just with the band or in the background somewhere. Hugely influential band for me.

Once called Canada's own Duran Duran.

Just saw them last night in Niagara Falls. Still AMAZING!!! Special.🎉❤❤❤❤

Burlington, ON should be proud of this superior Canadian Band!!

this song captured some sort of strange magic in a bottle....i just cant think of anything similar to this from other bands.....whenever it comes on the radio, it just blows the other songs away!

❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉love my favorite music Happy Bunny Day❤

Saw them live at Acadia University in Nova Scotia in the fall of 1985. What a show!

I was MADLY in love with the bass player way back then! I thought she was the hottest girl and coolest bass player on tour! I love this video....... takes me way back!

I was so in love with Sandy back in the day!

Firstly. I never realized what a good looking band they are. Second. They're very talented and this song still sounds great .

Fucking classic! Maybe my favorite song of all time.

Sandy's smile at 2:25. What a great beat, a great song and a splendid ending! Super video.

I saw them play at an eighties themed New Years Eve party🥂 at the El Mocambo 🌴Toronto 2023, we had a BLAST 🎉memories to last a lifetime!!!❤😁

Seen them in a local Bar in Guelph in early 1980's. Friend of mine went to school with the drummer. They had their finger on the pulse back then. This song is a 'Classic'...:)

Sandy Horne is ridiculously adorable. The smile at 2:25 proves it.❤

I was there in '84! I was 21! Sandy winked at me! Love ever and forever!

Fantastic performance! Excellent song!

I got to know the bass player. She's a really nice person. The song is so ahead of its time. A lot of bands can't pull their stuff off live. The Spoons did a great job. Loved the instrumental ending. Amazing.

Great Canadian band.

The quality of this recording is amazing

This is probably the best day of my life thus far. Thank you so much. My first ever concert. Right in Simcoe Ontario Canada at the fair when I was ten. I was jumping on the chairs as a kid. It was awesome. Thank you. I love all of you. -John Ryan Scrivener a.k.a 'Johnny Incondia' -Hello. Wow. The Spoons. The f'n spoons. Alseep in your Nova Heart. Bless.

Back in the day -- Sandy Horne held my attention in complete thrall. She still does.

classic! who knew they sounded so great live??

Canadian Rockers pure Legends ....great memories

remembering simpler times!

Damn......I......Miss......The.......80s

Adore this song....💜

Brilliant Canadian talent.Thanks for coming to Peel with FL.o Seag.

Many thanks for this video nyko3424, I am from Mexico (Sorry for my english) Saw them at Edmonton in 1982 and I could never forget this song. those were the days when I meet Ultravox, Clan of Ximox, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, among others. A decade like no other. This song was in my opinion at the level of this bands that have now a place in the history of the music. Many, many thanks for share this piece of art.

Unreal....cannot believe this amazing SONG. SPOONS LONG LIVE.

Saw "The Spoons" 3 times in concert in the 80's. Always a great time. Man I had a lot of hair back then.

Love this song and love this live version! Didn’t know they were Canadian! Love the 80’s hair!!!

Got to see them live. Was a great time. Not gonna say when

danced onstage with the box at le spectrum new year's eve 1985!

awesome clip.....way under rated band...still sound awesome

Heard this song so many times wanting to know who it was. Looked it up on a local canandian radio station playlist. Thank you Canandiania!!!

I literally cried when Sandy did this to her hair, but I totally got it. Beautiful girl, beautiful style! My straight long hair was not 80's trendy either (but it is now lol). And Gordon - he was hot then and he's aged damn well ;)

Man!! They are awesome!! Love that band!!

Just listened to the "Collectible Spoons" CD after several years. I forgot how wonderful a band they are.

Best song ever written. I cant play it enough. My ipod blew up from playing this song on repeat 20 years ago but it is just as great now. Maybe even better.

This is one of my favourites.. thank you so much ❤️

I Love the singing and guitar work and music of this song. They look awesome too. Backup singing is awesome too. I LOVE THIS!

Who didn’t have a crush on Sandy Horn?

Architects of the world I walk your streets and live in your towns Temporarily, architects of the world You've served us well until now But soon we'll be on our own And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart As things come apart I'll hide, hide in your Nova heart At ease with the thought That this nova won't burn out

I remember those days just after the release of Arias and Symphonies. All over the Niagara area it seemed that the Spoons were EVERWHERE promoting their album, giging in clubs. A year later I had moved to Belleville. Someone asked me if I knew the Spoons and I said "Just to smile and say hi, we're not close." She called me the biggest bullshitter she had ever heard!

the guy on the cowbell is doing the "Carlton" dance at 5:40 lol

The hair is awesome. I love it.

OMG, yes! I was there, and hair like that

I happened across this band by accident…but so glad I did…takes me back to my youth in the glorious 80s…Cheers2U!

Lead singer also has a great guitar sound. Nothing but Stone Age guitar sounds since the 1990s in the USA. Awesome keyboard sounds here too.

Such a great band that I listened so much.

A few years back "Air Farce" did an 80's themed show and at the end they brought The Spoons on to perform to this song.

J'étais présent au spectacle SPECTRUM de MONTRÉAL, on a été filmé en ligne avant d'entrer. Quelqu'un a un copié de ce film. Que de bon souvenir. Sandy était WOW.

Sandy rocksssss

This is fantastic!!! I want more!!! The Instrumental bit to end it is a Masterpiece

Saw them perform at the ROM in 2015 - still amazing!

2:26 … Lord Have Mercy!

This is awesome

So Much Cow-Bell action!

We went to the same high school. I remember when you played live for us. Miss those days ♥️

A canadian pop legend

Nice to see the awesome Roland Jupiter 8 in this performance!

I was there

I spent years attempting finding the album this song (Nova heart) was a track on (arias and symphonies) during the eighties. Thank you so very much for taking the time to upload it here. Stephen Wayne Reno Monday, July 19, 2010

Something about the notes they choose in the music.... I saw them a Brock University in 1982 with Billy Idol, They were the opening act... way better the the music today for sure... Mike

J'Y étais!!! bon dieu que ça nous coutait cher de spary net...

Great hair, great song!

Ring in the new year with The Spoons at the Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls on December 31, 2015.

I remember them backing up hall and oates mlg in Toronto and they kept saying were going to try and do this without our keyboardist because he got tied up in customs and never made the show to bad

I've got a fever. A fever for more cowbell

Here are the lyrics which tie back to the original video of this song: Architects, of the world I walk your streets and live in your towns Temporarily architects, of the world You've served us well…until now But soon we'll be. .we’ll be on our own And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart As things come apart I'll hide, hide in your Nova heart At ease with the thought That this Nova won't burn out Gentlemen, of the world I read your books and look at your art Hesitantly gentlemen, of the world You want to educate our young But soon they'll be…they’ll be on their own And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart At easy with the thoughts That this Nova won’t burn out Music interlude And I'll sleep, sleep in your Nova heart As things come apart I'll hide, hide in your Nova heart At ease with my thoughts And I'll rest, rest in your Nova heart At ease with the thought That this Nova won't burn out.

Gordon Deppe is the lead guitarist and lead singer. Sandy Horne is the female bass player and back up vocals. The concert was performed in Montreal, Que, Canada in 1984

I got a fever , and the prescription is more cow bell !
