NEW ORDER/True Faith

This is to celebrate the term :)

How FUNNY is this clip btw...absolutely hilarious, LOVE the face slapping opening...80s clips are DA BOMB!!!!

A-HA/Take On Me

Sorry I couldn't help it lapsing into my favourite...classic 80s!



p.s I love how the youtube poster felt a need for a disclaimer: "I'm a true rocker but I love this song and no, it's not gay." lol.

THE TRIFFIDS/Trick of the Light

I love this tune or maybe it is cos I am in the mood to unleash my inner 40 something year old, lol.

In any case I love the melodies and lyricism from bands such as THE TRIFFIDS...I also love that poetry and sense of Nostalgia that seems to all pervade their music.

THE CURE/Inbetween Days

These lyrics very much resonate with me today...in a good kind of way :) Such an 80s Dag! *lol

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Tears for Fears/Mad World

Was spoilt with lots of cool music videos from Ps collection...had totally forgotten about this great song...he thinks the original version is so daggy but I have to say I love it- so 80s!!! I have also included the "cooler" more contemporary but also awesome Donnie Darko version as well to cover all bases...

Who needs Happy Music?!

just in case you hadn't heard of THE STONE ROSES - here are a few of my favs off their album THE STONE ROSES :) tip: their music sounds best...LOUD! ;)

THE STONE ROSES/elephant stone



THE STONE ROSES/she bangs the drums



THE STONE ROSES/waterfall

MADONNA/Cherish

Great song to waken from the inevitable afternoon brain siesta...this is probably my favourite of Early Madonna...Love "The Immaculate Collection" - I'm an eighties child after all ;)



this one is good to wake up those dwindling brain cells as well ;)

GET INTO THE GROOVE

Some Favourite Suzanne Vega Songs

I'm not sure why I'm suddenly so in a Suzanne Vega mood lately- I couldn't sleep without first listening to her beautiful 'lullaby' voice :)

I guess it's cos she is of an era I'm more comfortable with...

IN LIVERPOOL


GYPSY


WORLD BEFORE COLUMBUS

Aussie Music: Does anyone remember THE HUMMINGBIRDS?!!

Arguably the cream of Aussie *POP* music in 1989 onwards...well yeah it was all the rage to me as a 9 year old LOL clip two is particularly daggy (was My Favourite back then LOL) but the video is an interesting documentation of Australia at that time.

Anyway found these on Youtube :)

IF A VOW



WORD GETS AROUND


BLUSH (sound quality very bad)

Happy Tunes...

The first rays of Spring warmth tingled my skin today...which translated to being in the mood for boppy songs...

BEN LEE/Into The Dark


Ben looks about ten years old in this clip! (and he doesn't even have asian genes LOL)

THE CURE/Just like Heaven



cool check out that cool 80s hair! ;)

A-Ha/Take On Me

1985- I was 5 years old. Along with Boy George and WHAM these guys were my music heroes :)

Gotta Love the 80s!!
