First single from their 1982 "Arias & Symphonies" album. Existing videos were extremely washed out with extremely noisy, poor audio. Restored this copy of video, reframed it and added enhanced, remastered audio. Hope you enjoy!
When i was young the best New Wave music sounded like it was coming from the future to me, 40 plus years later it still sound like the future to me and everything since feels like s step backwards.
I was in Ottawa in september 1982. Id heard Nove Heart and found out Spoons were playing a club in downtown Ottawa. We went, they were brilliant. We were on holiday from Britain and Simple Minds were playing the following week, sadly we were leaving before then. I cant remember the name of the club sadly.
Not many groups can say, hey, we should do a video with a beautiful model on a bed being mysterious, so they just get their bass player (because that is their bass player Sandi Horne starring in this video by the way)
Very true. I cannot think of a prettier bass player ever. In Gordon Deppe's book, he talked about the band's early days. And how the guys in the crowds were a lot less rowdy/violent after Sandi joined the band. ☮
Great song, imo. And I find the lyrics very thought-provoking. And on a superficial note: Best-looking bass player on a Top 40 band in history - at least, that I recall ever seeing. ☮
Love this sound. Hadn't heard it in over 25 years. Sounds like the first time I ever heard this. I so miss tge 80's. An Infantryman at the time. My take in this song is probably a bit bizarre. Sleep in your Nova Heart......as when someone launches a nuclear missile.
