My husband chose this song for our wedding dance in 1993. I was so afraid to here what he picked because he was a serious punk rocker. I listened to this often. He passed in 2014. Thank you for all the memories.
I wish we had chose this song, my wife would have moved across the dance floor like a wisp of effervescent spring air, I am sorry to hear about your husband - a punk rocker with a soft heart for 80’s classics
This song gives me a feeling I can't quite catagorize. It's part elation, part wonder, part adoration with an underlying hint of longing, sadness and nostalgia. God....The 80s.
@@mindrolling24 Well technically, the Furs came out in 1977. But they really became popular in the early 80's, thanks to a little tv station called MTV. Once their videos started playing, they reached a wider audience and their hit song "Love My Way" catapult the group into the American mainstream. A little bit of music/mtv trivia for you.🙂
Makes me want to use the Fairlight on my next song. Thank you Peter Vogel. The 80's would not have been the same without you. (The Fairlight was named after the Fairlight hovercraft that used to pass by in Australia in the 80's. Seemed like a good name for a business.)
The 80's what an era, what a time period, the most beautiful nostalgic music that always brought a smile to your face and made you just feeling happy again. A time were there was a burst of color in the World, be it fashion, film, music videos, most Artists and Bands were at their finest during this era. The World was just kinder and more caring, the 80's a timeless unbeatable decade ...
I love the comments section for these great 80s songs. It makes me realize how lucky we were to be in our prime during this amazing decade, and at the same time it’s clear that while many of us are happy, we still miss those glorious days and many of us would do just about anything to do it again. I’m happy to have experienced it with you all, my brothers and sisters from the 80s
I second your sentiment; I only turned 8 by the end of the decade, but experiencing it after the fact, no question you were blessed to enjoy it firsthand :-)

@Luis Alonzo shake the disease, enjoy the silence, blasmesmous (sp) rumors.. The best is "somebody".. Dae Gahan is incredible in this song.. Do you agree??
I had my eleven year old daughter last weekend for visitation. On the way to the playground, this came over SiriusXM "First Wave." I turned it up, telling her how much I loved this song and the Furs. Today, she messaged me with a link to this video. This song touched her heart as much as it has mine, a testament to its enduring and ageless appeal.
10 months later, I'm hearing this for the first time, and thinking I need to play this for my daughter and stepdaughter (who might be familiar with it) because it's lovely. I wouldn't have heard of them if you hadn't posted some of their music on fb, years ago, when our little fb group wasn't all about politics and your cousin Sheri was on, and things were more fun! Well, we were all a little younger! Glad one of your daughters liked it. Music has been one of the strongest bonds with my husband (your fellow Berklee alumni) and my brothers and especially with my girls! Bring them up on the music you love and they'll take you to expensive concerts in your old age! (and now you're a screenwriter and movie star) regards, Marlene
I was a radio DJ at my college in the mid to late 80’s and discovered this group for the first time. I was the only DJ that played Top 40 music and this song actually charted so I learned about progressive rock or new wave and was mesmerized by this song for its haunting music and lyrics. Many good songs from this band but this song resonates the most. Sad song but hits the gut.
I think it was the rebound to all the Vietnam era music. I don't know, that's just my theory. They started experimenting with electronic music, too. It was glorious wasn't it? The 90s weren't too bad either, but the 80s were amazing.
I can't stress it enough, 80s had the best music. The entertainment in general, but the music was so good, this is another one of those amazing songs. We used to dance, sing and have fun to it. So many incredible memories and makes me so nostalgic.
So true. Makes me feel kinda sad though. This is one of the songs me and my high school buddies used to play in our band, along with Boys Don't Cry, Fire In Cairo, With Or Without You, etc. However, our drummer has now passed on. Time flies by so fast.
Life is so different now. Sometimes I sit for hours watching 80's video and think of all the good memories and all the crazy things we did. there will never be another time like the 80's. It's lost but not forgotten.
As children in the 1970s my siblings and I endured an abusive and hateful father that beat us and my mother. In 1982, when I was 15, my brother and I found our mother's body in a bathroom of our house; she'd overdosed on barbiturates, likely to escape him. Without her there to act as a buffer between us and him, we endured even worse. It was a very difficult couple of decades -- the 70s and 80s -- for us but my teens were made bearable by music from Simple Minds, The Psychedelic Furs, The Smiths and so on. It sounds cliché but it's true. It was an amazing, amazing time for music and talent and creativity. It holds as much meaning for me now as it did in 1984 when this song and many like it let me close my eyes and be somewhere else, somewhere safe if only for a few minutes. In fact, so strong is my adoration for this music that, oddly, part of me -- now 55 -- wants to go back to those times. Of course, I could do without that "other stuff" but I really miss the music that got me through it all the first time.
I also grew up in the 70's & 80's with 4 brothers and 2 sisters, parents divorced, 4 older siblings were old enough to be on their own and mother remarried. Myself, younger sister and brother, my mom and her abusive husband. He would start a fight with her, beat up on her until she would leave and he would then come into me and my brothers room and drag me out to the kitchen and mentally and physically beat me for hours on end, "it was brutal" usually till 3am, I was his scapegoat for all his problems he said. This went on for about 3 1/2" years, started at about 11 tears old. I was luckily brought to my father's and not long after my younger siblings. Something that always took me to another place was this music, I'm now 57 and I too want to go back, without the "other stuff" also. This music has a beautiful way to bring back the good memories that made childhood special even though we went through some rough times. I hope you you're doing better and keep these songs with you!!!
me and my wife just came home from a terrible day at both of our jobs and this comes on and I just looked over and her and sang this to her and just seeing her smile will always make me happy no matter how bad both of our days are
This is one of the best comments I have ever read. Connection and compassion between two human beings is so wonderful. Nice change from the usual option pieces on here.
Holy crap! Why the hell can't they make music like this anymore? Now this is what I call music. The so called "artists" of today could learn thing or two from '80's musicians about how to write songs. Thank you for posting.
My theory is that 80s music is both sad and happy at the same time because it was made during the cold war. We learned how to have fun and rad dance parties with the spectre of a possible nuclear holocaust in the backs of our minds. I suppose that gives us something in common with the lost generation of WW1 and the generation that endured WW2.
Yup. The horrors they put up on ''trending'' today on U-tube are enough to make me vomit. Most of it is anti-melody and insults mixed with threats and whores
@@TT-fq7pl Wrong. You’re just looking at from the point of view of a miserable leftist. If you were poor, you lived in a land of freedom and opportunity and could change your life. Liberty reigned, so creativity did, as well. The dismal world we live in now is thanks to decades of progressive (progressing us to hell) policies. You can’t rewrite history. We remember.
No one cares about your race...get that shit out of here. Anyone can enjoy music, get that notion you have to be a specific type of person out of here.
Such a haunting voice! I can never get tired of listening to this song. The 80's were the best years of my life. My best friend and I used to record ourselves trying to sing this song. He unfortunately ended his life a few years back. They played this song at his funeral and I stood over his casket and sang it to him. I still listen to our recordings quite often. See you on the other side my friend! R.I.P
A song of beauty, melancholy and perfection. The opening alone is a taste of heaven. There is an enormous amount of mixed feelings and emotions that soar through the body while listening to this song. It's a shame music like this doesn't exist anymore. Yes, everything has it's time and place... and I am happy to know I was there at that exact time and place when this came out. Still listening in 2024 as if it just came out yesterday
Just saw them in Pensacola and he still sounds good. Of course when they play live it's better than recorded sound imho. Way more punch with live sound.
2021: This song had been stuck in my head for a year, I finally find out its title. This is one of the songs my father played when I was a young girl. I miss my dad so much.
I have filled my girls with 80s music. Cherish it. It's a treasure that we can freely give. It is a key to a time when we were young and free and had hope and the future lay brightly before us. It was truly our glory days and we want to share it with you so you NEVER forget us. Now you pass it on.
I don't know what it is but I get teary eye whenever I hear this song. I guess it's just me thinking about me as a shy teenager longing for someone who would be the subject of my spaceage love song.
Or may was been followed the kepts praying that he or fall into a big a gigartan trouble that's why it was rhymed it that way.And telling guy that they' been watched and won't fade.
A man in my shoes runs a light And all the papers lied tonight But falling over you Is the news of the day Angels fall like rain And love, love, love, love is all of heaven away (Love, love, love) Inside you the time moves And she don't fade The ghost in you She don't fade Inside you the time moves And she don't fade (Don't fade) A race is on I'm on your side And hearing you my engines die I'm in a mood for you For running away Stars come down in you And love, love, love you can't give it away (love, love, love, love) Inside you the time moves And she don't fade The ghost in you She don't fade Inside you the time moves And she don't fade (in you) Don't you go It makes no sense When all your talking supermen Just take away the time And get in the way Ain't it just like rain And love, love, love, love is only heaven away (love, love, love, love) Inside you the time moves And she don't fade The ghost in you She don't fade Inside you the time moves And she don't fade The ghost in you She don't fade Inside you the time moves And she don't fade The ghost in you She don't fade Inside you the time moves And she don't fade
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade (Drums beat time in you and I and) The Ghost in you she don't fade (Rain don't fall down here no more it's) Inside you the time moves and she don't fade (Coming down to losing it and) The ghost in you she don't fade (Drums beat time in you and I and) Inside you the time moves and she don't fade (Rain don't fall down here no more it's) The ghost in you she don't fade (Coming down to losing it and)
Saw The Furs last night in Austin. This was my 6th time to see them and the show was so fantastic that I'm still floating. I've loved them since I was 13 and I'm thrilled they are still touring. Starting with Run and Run and ending with India, the setlist was incredible. My favorite song of theirs is The Ghost In You. That song makes me so happy. It takes me back but at the same time it fills my heart with the present. While listening to Richard sing it last night, I thought to myself...I hope I hear this song on the day I die. Then I can go peacefully ❤
When I hear this song it brings me back in the 80s. Where everything is better than what we have now. People were more caring and giving and honest back in the 80s.
Just saw the Furs last night in Rancho Mirage, 10 minutes from my house!! Amazing concert, I don’t know how these guys are still able to do it! His voice sounds as awesome as it ever did. Crowd was much older than I remember, lol. So blessed to have the opportunity to experience that after all these years!
I miss you baby brother... every time I think of you I remember us singing all the songs by the Psychedelic Furs...your birthday is Fri...and my heart hurts... I know you are Dancing in Heaven... Martin Forever.. I love you brother..
You don't need to apologize for the soulless, contrived and hackneyed music that's being made today. The 80's was truly a magical time for music. Society was relatively calm, the Soviet Union fell, the economy was getting strong, but overall things were looking up. I graduated high school in 1980. Punk rock was nearly dead along with disco and the Urban Cowboy stuff was doing its thing on the sideline - And then came New Wave or Alternative and all its subgenres like Shoegazing, Dream Pop and Neo Psychadelia and all others. If there was one song that I see as a start of all of it combined with MTV was Buggles' Video Killed The Radio Star. As far as all of us longing for that day and it's return, someone said in another musics comments, "We're homesick for a place that no longer exists."
Omg! I can relate, iv been looking for this song too since 2007 when i was working very from home and family. This use to be my morning dosage.but suddenly forgot about this when i got home. Today i found it finally
I thought the 80's would never end. Being young, the future ahead of you with no worries, good health and fun times. Now its all a memory too look back and wonder. I started the 80's being 18 yrs old and now in 18 yrs i will once again be in the 80's. that may not count but I was able to make it this far.
80s will always live on in our hearts 💕 memories of laser tag, arcades, Sony Walkman, putt putt golf and games surf and skate board t shirts roller skate rinks playing 80s music. All the great 80s movies in the theaters. Ohh the fun times we all used to have.🙂
I’m 13 and my favorite band is the psychedelic furs. This song and love my way are my favorite of their songs. One day I was driving with my dad in the car and this song came on, both of us started to sing it at the same time and it was great :)🤍
Lots of great stuff from that era. If you like this, you might like other bands from the 80s like The Smiths, The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen...so much good stuff out there to discover. I miss that feeling of discovery.
Covid-19 makes you realize that you had the best childhood EVER...💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏 WOWWW August 21st 2021 I'm back again and I had no idea how many likes I had gotten 💙🤍💙🤍💙 THANK YOU EVERYONE.. From the bottom of my heart. 2021 isn't easy, but listening to songs like this here😌😌😌 Just makes me feel better 💙🤍🙏🏽
@@deadaccount5 Katy and Justin can't hold a candle to the Psychedelic Furs or The Cure or Depeche Mode or U2 or even Devo! Nevermind Katy and Justin, the 80's have some of the best music, period! Booyah!💥
This song is one of the strongest reminders for knowing how much I love my wife . . . I took her to see the Furs a few years ago for her birthday (as she is an 80s music fanatic), and while watching and enjoying the show, she felt a little faint, so we walked into the lobby and sat down to rest for a bit. After a short while, we could hear the strains of this song - one of my all time favorites - echoing through the lobby . . . and while I initially felt like we were missing something special, I looked into her eyes while we were sitting and talking, and hearing this song from afar, and felt as much love as I ever have in my life. I will never forget that moment, and this song will always remind me of the greatest, deepest love that doesn't fade.
I was 15 years old when this song came out and I'm 56 years old now look at these guys go in 2024 looking great and sounding great live! Lovey Richard Butler
Adrian Kline, one day, YOU will be the old fart carrying on about how great it was when you were young. It might behoove you to listen to your parents' and grandparents' ramblings because I swear on the fact, that they will not be there to "bother" you with their "old stories" anymore. I felt the same way when I was young. I am so damned glad I asked them about their lives and listened to what they have to say. All that remains of their lives now, are grave markers and a plethora of memories.
Betsy Collins this is how the future generation will interact with kids today who will be our age by then: Millennial: Ahhh music is so much better in the 2010s! Future gen: uhhhh...what is music?
The lyrics are as incredible today as the first time I heard them. Rocked me to my core. “A man in my shoes runs a light and all the papers lied tonight but falling over you is the news of the day.”
I am so greatful my dad kept 80s music alive in our household. It's 2015 and I listen to 80s music on the regular and every time I do I get such a rush. It sounds dumb but I feel like it takes me back even though I wasn't alive then (kinda silly huh). Such a great decade in music history just wish I would have been 17 then and not now. It must have been great.
+Maritza Barrios I keep it alive in my 3 girls and they LOVE it! All these bands are touring lately and my now 20+ girls go to their shows! :D I'm a proud mama!
+Maritza Barrios I was the same way when I was your age. I tell people what kind of music I like, and they say "What do you know about that kind of stuff? How old are you?" I tell them my age (31) and explain that my parents listened to some of it, and some of it I discovered on my own.
Did you know that there were people that were living during that time and heard none of it. Now that the internet is so accessible you can listen to this to your heart's content. There were some of us alive at the time that had shitty lives and others who had worse. However, the music is still there.
Laying in bed & it's 2am. This song comes on. Closing my eyes wishing just for a night. To be back in the 80's. Awesome mod friends, cruzing at the mall & listening to music like this 💯💖
Inside you the time moves you and she don't fade. What else can we say. 40 years later and all of this 1980s New Wave remains unsurpassed, and forms the basis of much of what people listen to today.
David Meredith well.. good job your wedding was 19 years ago! Today “love my way” is like a gay anthem thanks to that bollocks movie "call my name" or whatever, from last year. You know, I am not homophobic but these guys are just spoiling perfectly honest and good music for the rest of us (ABBA? the colors of the rainbow.. etc.) 🤦🏻♂️
