Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.

You my friend made a 40 years old guy cry. It is too much for me to handle. It brings all the peace, warmth, hope and love back to me. Thank You.

Who is here because The Midnight is an amazing band?

To all the 80s kids that grew up with Saturday morning cartoons, Nintendo, sleep overs and playing outside all day! 😎🍕🥳

I was born in July 1973. Everything about this video reminds me of my childhood. The good times. Thank you.

I think we miss these times not only because of nostalgia, but because they were not so fast, so rushed, so crowded, so complicated. Yes, life can be a bitch and we all have problems, but now it’s like you live your life like an ant and people are in a hurry all the time. Information comes at the speed of light, stress comes with the sound of a BLING on your cellphone and everybody is looking for digital entertainment, rather than interacting with someone. We kept imagining the future in the 80’s and 90’s. Well, guess what? The future is here and it looks grim as shit.

I am a 90s kid. But since I am from a third world country,..most of the stuff broadcasted from American Entertainment in the 90s was from the 80s. So,..this song is basically about everything I grew up with

I was born in '81 so this video is almost too much. Its just a deluge of memories. We had all the toys and watched all the movies and cartoons. If you were young in the 80s it got inside of you in a way I can't even describe.

I was literally born in 2003😂 and have never experienced any of this and I for some reason feel extremely nostalgic from this. 80s seem like the best thing ever

Born in the 80’s...Raised in the 90’s...Thank God

I miss the 80’s 😟

My teenage years were spent in the 80s. I am so blessed to have grown up in a decade that comes around only once in an eternity. Toys, clothes, TV, music, and amusement arcades, and lifestyle were awesome.

He who is free is never alone. Goddamn. This song, this video, it’s killin me.

This shows the sheer beautiful optimism that’s existed in the 80s cinema. We need this more than ever. The media is far too negative. We owe it to the next generation. It’s okay to Dream. They may never come true.... but dreaming is the best bit. It’s not the destination... it’s the journey 💫

Even in the 90s I was surrounded by all this.

My childhood, and it was truly magical.

wow..... i cried the whole video.

THIS!! This has GOT to be the BEST music video I have *EVER* seen!! It's my entire childhood rolled up into 5 minutes and 15 seconds!!

The 80s, the height of humanity

We need to save this video for the generations to come. I'm not in tears, I'm soaked.

I saw ET in the movie theatre with Dad . at the end , everyone had shed a few tears . even my Father . that's one of the Best memories I had from the 80's , I saw my Dad as a human being and not some angry Marine Robot with 22 yrs of service.

"Let it be said and let it be known, he who is free is never alone" is such a powerful line imo.

😭😢 💚LOVE 80s💜

I am from Brazil. I was born in 73, in a city called São Caetano do Sul. During the 80's, I enjoyed the end of my childhood and half of my teenage. Dude, I loved that age. I miss those days so much. I played on streets a lot. I watched cartoons and movies. Played with Atari... Came on! What happiness! Thanks God I lived those days... Simple the best!

I wasn't born in the 80s but this makes me wish I grew up in the 80s

I don't care how old I am now or how old in the future I reach. Part of me will always be a kid stuck in the 80s. No place I would rather be and would do anything to go back to that place again. This song/video is amazing but I felt both ecstatic/depressed at the same time. Youth really is wasted on the young. Any kids/teenagers reading this savour every second of your youth whilst you can. Don't keep looking to the future but enjoy the now. Because when your youth is over it is never coming back.

85’ and happy to be born when I was. What a times to be a kid and dream. 💜✨

I was 6 years old when 1979 turned to 1980. Watching this brought me right back to the 80's. So many memories, so many feelings. This brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for making me feel like a kid again.

Childhood in '80s was the best momentum in history of universe!!! Nothing was better than that ;)

Awesome and depressing at the same time. Added to favs.

The Midnight Just shared this on their Facebook!

you know, how hard could it be to bring to 80s back again? If we all really wanted it, we could make it happen.

The most incredible thing about the 80s (at least for those who had the privilege of being born on the right side of the wall) is that even if today they seem to have been just a wonderful dream, they existed for real.

Tearing up like hell now

Putting Stranger Things back to back with The Goonies fills my heart with joy!

I was born in 1993, still i feel like i've belong in the 80's.

4:28 Jennifer Connelly❤️

the 80's is multi-generational.. EVERYONE loved the 80's... even some who weren't even born yet...

Probably the best Midnight video made yet!

I miss the 80's so much😭😭😭

1999 was ABSOLUTELY the end of the world. It’s been awful ever since and it will never get better.

I hope the world realizes how we made a mistake by moving too fast

This video cuts deep. Bittersweet memories.

We need to build a time machine and go back to the 80's. I hate the 2000's. Edit: Maybe 2018 wasn't so bad after all

I'm just crying and watching this over and over again. Man, this is amazing!

My friend, I have seen almost everything that you have enriched the wonderful music of Midnight. I'm 45 years old and with what is happening on our planet I am nostalgic for that decade when I was a child. I wish I could be transported to that decade. I shared the bare minimum of my thoughts because they would all be a book. Greetings from Greece.

A time when everything seemed possible

"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt."

I was born in 78..ET..was my first silver screen...so I guess you can say the 80's was right there and ready for me..

I wasn't born in the 80's nor before, nor did I live in the United States to know what was the best decade of its history... Even though "The Midnight" and several series that come out in this video are not from the 80s it's amazing how this touches my soul, I have too much nostalgia for a time that didn't live...

80ies = no worries, just being a kid and laughter & happy memories, times of innocence. Then came bill, and we pay em every month..

nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Being born in 76..this couldn’t remind me any more of being a kid if I tried. Great times, and an amazing band!! And if I was given the chance to go back and do it all again, would I? Damn right I would :-)

Midnight thank you for reminding us of one of the best years of our lives.

I doubt I'll find another video that hits that nostalgia button so much ❤

Im from Spain,and i think its so awesome how all memories from 80s & 90s childs around the world are exactly the same thing with Little differences,but…..who doesn´t know Back to the Future,Thundercats,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Transformers ?? Actual Kids have a lots of very good games and technology,but i dont change my childhood for no one of them.

Everything the midnight touches turns to 🪙 gold!

The attachment to the 80's is one of the coolest things you get out of surfing music through RU-vid. I came into the 80's as a 17 year old...to wrap up your high school years early in the decade only to then flow into some absurdly crazy and fun college days while the decade was in full swing was most fortunate. The Midnight captures the vibe of the time so well that anytime it is combined with 80's based content it just works!!

Somehow that song makes me feel better. This works exclusively at night, especially on Xmas.

Graduated 82’ then college 87’! The 80’s was a decade of transition.

Even as an Eastern Bloc 80's kid, this is so right in the childhood.

I grew up in the 80s and just discovered them 2 weeks ago, I've seriously watched every video they have attached to an 80s movie... so perfect, takes me right back to being a teenager...😀😀

Seeing The land Before Time made my heart ache. RIP Judith Barsi a.k.a Ducky “Yup yup yup!”

This was a suggested video by youtube. Never heard of this band before. RU-vid, you brought me to tears, amazing time to be on the planet. What a song what a video! cheers for sharing Richard Franklin, wow.

I was not born in 80's but still this does make Tears come out of my Eyes wondering they guys who were born in 80's , how was Their time and they live now, pressurised, anxiety, Those were golden times, I was born in 98 .

this is just the greatest thing i've seen all week. way to get my 80s brain on !!!!!!!!!

"He who is free is never alone"

Born in 1976. Simply awesome.

God I loved the 80's. I wish I could go back. Maybe if I close my eyes and listen to to this song I can pretend I'm there !

I was born in 1970 I lived this,!👍😎

Wow, this is it! My childhood wrapped up in one cozy warm nostalgic you tube video. My cousin shared it with me tonight, he is 49 and I am 46, my heart is bursting. So glad to have experienced such a great childhood, brings back all the memories and feelings! Made me rethink my current choices, life is a gift, unwrap it with purpose, enthusiasm and an open heart. Thank you for the video, song fits perfectly! Xx

Born in 1971, the 80's, If i could have this delorian, i would beam me back, Back to the 80's

I was in high school wen all thise beautiful years were going on you hit right on the nail friend 😊👍👍 I sure miss those days 😔

I'm currently averaging 20 daily playbacks. This song is amaizing, and the video makes me burst into tears every single time.

This song and video is just so powerful. I was born in 86 in Brooklyn, NY. The only thing that kept me off the streets and out of gang violence was television, movies and video games. These things were more than just entertainment to me, they were doorways into worlds that seemed so much brighter than what was outside my window. I might not be alive today if it weren't for the amazing content that was produced in the 80's which I was lucky enough to have experienced as a child, even if I technically grew up in the 90's. People can say whatever they want about the 80's not being as great as people try to remember them being, but they'll never understand how euphoric and life altering these things were for a child who could have easily went down a terrible path.

This video and song are truly amazing. Watching the video and listening to the song makes me long for the 80's again, it makes me feel sad and want to cry for a better time, it makes me feel hopeful for all of 5 minutes and 14 seconds, it makes me feel weak, sick, embolden, and it makes my heart beat faster with excitement in my chest. I am 45 years old, and am absolutely gushing over this video and song - nostalgia never felt this beautiful, warm, exciting and exhilarating. Bravo, Midnight! And to whomever put this video together and posted it on RU-vid! My hat is off to you.... You beautiful, intelligent, and talented people. All of you....

I like the scene were Elliot looks at et and the sad look on his face not wanting to say goodbye. We all have looks like that when we have to say goodbye to someone

Beautiful. Thank you for this. I feel like the 80's were a high point of optimism. Just seemed happier. Now it's all bleak bleak and more bleak. No color, no risk, no thrills.

Woooaaahhh... Goosebumps :)

That time is so loved not because of what we had back then, but because we didn’t have what we have now. Widespread internet access, multinational corporations with as much power, mobile phones, social media, persistent terrorism threat, corrupt politics, and media coverage of every little disaster around the world. The world was so much simpler, so much more pure and carefree. I didn’t even exist back then and I can still sense that inevitable nostalgic pang people approaching middle age feel whenever a video like this makes an appearance. It’s incredible.

Daammmnn. My dad's pleasure and memories was programed deep within the dna. No wonder I feel somehow nostalgic.

best decade of my life. my childhood and adolescence that I will never forget. I thank God for this golden decade

I was born in 1997 and I miss this era that I was never apart of 😔

The Midnight Forever!!!

the internet reminding us of life before the internet.

Man, I miss the 80's and early 90's

Proud to be a child of the 80s.

I know time is always moving forward, and I know that we all have to move on with it... But... I don't want these times to just fade into obscurity and be forgotten.

I was born in 79....I was 6 in 1985....This is so good!!

We're often sad because we think it's over. But hands on your heart, ladies and gentlemen. When is it over for someone that doesnt stop exploring? Isn't there always something new to discover? Explore today and make it great. Every day brings something new.

Oh god...the 80s...why do some things have to end!

When your childhood flashes before your eyes.....what a time it was! 144p for period accurate viewing! VHS if you got it ;)

OMG born in 84, so i'm an 80's kid... this Video brings so much memory back... for every nowadays kid, i wish they could explore the 80's/90's at least for a bit. No Fortnite, no mobile phones, no Teletubbies etc. All of us who lived in the 80's and 90's now what music is, what movies are, how mud feels in your face ... Sabre Rider, Mask, Sancho & Pancho, Dr. Snuggles and so many more good cartoons to get up early in the morning and watch tv, before heading out getting dirty. Good old days

the timing on that jackson loop to the theater transition was marvelous !

The nostalgia, it's too much. 🥺

4:00. damn, hits me so hard. From the beginning of Mtv, to the 1984 Olympics one of the best Olympic openings, to Michael Jackson. Too much feelz in so little time, its emotion in a bottle for me every time.

00:12 TOP GEARRRR 😍 I was compulsively playing this in Sega Mega Drive in 90's and i never forgot this very simple game because the vibe of musics... 🤯

I loved 80's

Hi I am now approaching 70 so seen many decades ,the 60,s started it all and as a Brit as a kid embraced it ,the 70,s better still but honestly the 80,s were something else , a portal to our future with innocence ,an enjoyment of new music and technology ! Lived in the US then and totally loved it ,going to the mall and sitting in the arcade , no phones ,no apps and constant social media ! We had the best of all worlds ,the music was great , fashion simple and not expensive to most of us and I felt totally free and life was amazing ! Alas the future is even worse than we thought back then , we thought it would be fun but hell as a kid now alas it is like going back to 1935 , EVIL is on the rise again ,that,s not in the spirit of the 80,s ,maybe that sensation will arise again !
