This is one of their best singles! I've got it on clear vinyl "45, how it only reached 57 in the charts is criminal.. loved the promo video, Billy looking a little camp, well, it was the early '80s.
I loved collecting their clear vinyls. Those good old days of searching for paper labels, colour vinyls, glossy sleeves. I liked this one even more than Sleepwalk and that was perfect!
Loved it for years, still enjoy a listen. I have the bridge in this song as a Ringtone. Rare, different, interesting. People wonder why I take a long time to answer...🙂
The charts are criminal. Criminally cheesy. The UK isn't as cool as it thinks. They prefer Joe Dolce. Screw 'em, Ultravox did better in other Territories
Vienna, brilliant album from 1980. I knew every note of every song after a week spent skiing in Austria with it on my Walkman. Good variety of very atmospheric songs, Passing Strangers a favourite.
Running through memories like thieves in the night is the best line in any song I've ever listened to. I've beena fan of Ultravox for many years, and they've never let me down
One of my all time fav Ultravox songs. Had the 12 inch version back in the day. It only reached about 45 in the charts back then, couldn't understand why.
At one time the largest gasworks in Europe...and interestingly, it was also used as a location for the brilliant pre-titles sequence of For Your Eyes Only (1981) - this is apparently where Roger Moore is flying trapped in a helicopter that races into an empty factory building, before he suddenly regains control of the chopper and goes after Blofeld... 😄
From slik to the rich kids to ultravox midge was and is a class act. One thing bothers me ! Why does geldof get all the credit for live aid midge was the talent there not him
I like the old arty 80's videos...they were cool watching them back in the day. This is one track I don't play too often...it's a good track but not as memorable as the others...
There was an earlier unofficial upload with hundreds of comments, I'm sure it must have had many more views, but it was taken down when this one came up
Passing strangers. As long as were strangers and to whom ? Will we turn to CREATOR OF UNIVERSE so that we are mot strangers to HIM ? How to be steadfast in that wish ? (Translate in Sanskrit).
@@tomislavpotocar91 I have played Ultravox by Vienna backwards and have discovered that it contains a profound and profane message"Jesus and your bush that's not a titchy marrow" This is a bawdy thought of Paula Yates and of whom she is with now and what she is doing .
