The grammy they won for this version was well deserved. It's an incredibly beautiful song and I cannot believe it's 40 years old. I was in middle school when their hit Wishing ( I had a photograph) made its way onto the USA's airwaves and I've thanked the band ( in my heart and soul) every single day since then. Those of us who were blessed to be at the age when music was becoming just as influential to who we'd become as the hormones that were kicking in. My 80s musical taste comprised of the iconic sounds of New Wave, Punk, New Romantic, and Death Rock which all became part of my DNA.

Don't be sad because it's over.. be happy because we were there!

[@jamescameron1337]

Everyone who lived through the decade knows that there were really two 80s: the early 80s, a time of expanding boundaries and exploring the unknown, and the late 80s, a time of increasing conformity and narrowing options. To me, this song is one of the anthems of the early 80s -- half science, half mystery, and all magic. It's good to have you still with us and making music, boys -- you helped define an era, and we'll never forget.

[@rapid13]

Meh. I was there, and the "narrowing options" were nothing more than the shift away from New Wave and toward Glam/Hair Metal, which gave us even greater and more diverse musicality that peaked with Appetite for Destruction and Dr Feelgood, which then got crushed by Nirvana. Music evolves, as do musical tastes.

[@atarileaf]

Agreed. I really noticed it starting in 87 but it may have been even earlier.

[@atarileaf]

@@rapid13 The 90's were absolutely horrible. I swore off rock and pop music in the 90's and switched almost exclusively to country, which to me, was closer to 80's pop and rock.

[@bellestarre8589]

@@atarileaf I did the same: Randy Travis, Pam Tillis, Reba, Dwight Yoakam, Clint Black, John Anderson, The Mavericks, Aaron Tippin, Alan Jackson, Restless Heart, Marty Stuart, Diamond Rio.....now they're getting older, too ! We just can not stop time, dagnabbit ! All I listen to now is rock from the 60s, 70s, 80s, early 90s & country from 60s to 90s. Our parents told us, time & time again, - life is short !

This song has long been underrated… a true triumph of the 1980’s! Finding this rendition made my day.

[@staceymacaluso4548]

So underrated! ❤

[@williams.vincent4235]

The bass player Frank Maudsley always played with a smile on his face. Good to see that in his mid-60's he's still a happy looking dude. I'm a year older than Paul Reynolds and I'm glad to see that it looks like he got through his addiction and mental health issues when he was in his early/mid-twenties. AFOS were one of my favourite new-wave bands in the very early 80's - man they were such and underrated band!

[@JCWolfwood]

My wife and I chose this song for our first song to dance to as a married couple. This just made my entire year.

[@KortovElphame]

Ha ! Im getting married! my soon to be wife and I are 80s kids ... we chose this song to play also!

That era was my youth... the 80's... I'm so happy to have been in my young teens during that decade. John Hughes movies and some of the best songs. This makes me happy as well.

[@jaywillingham4085]

Chadwick Rider Nothing will ever compare to those days; AFOS, Eurythmics, ABC, Naked Eyes, etc, musoc was so magical then.

[@waldopepper1]

[@globulant99]

I saw this video. And it made me smile. And for a little while. I was falling in love with the '80's all over again. These guys, love 'em or hate 'em encapsulate that '80's sound and I choose to love them.

This new album is a great gift to us, the "old" people. It is a breath of fresh air coming from the past.

If you were not there experiencing the 80s as they were, you will never understand just how great it was. It ruly was the greatest decade ever. I have this bands vinyl record on the turntable now. Original record from the 80s not a reissue.

brought tears to my eyes, some of my best memories are from the 80s and bands like this. at the time it felt like you could do anything, you couldnt get hurt and you and and the music would go on forever, oth of you never to get old, forever young. this is almost like a time machine. i close my eyes and listen and im there.

[@nighttimeguy3954]

That's bad ass plain and simple. Met Michael Score in the 90's at a club in Philly they were playing. The power went out before the show. He was at the back of the club and I walked up to him to meet him. Talked to me for 20 minutes straight like he knew me all of my life and even took pictures with my wife and I. Nicest guy ever. I never forgot that night. It left a lasting impression on me. Good to see the original members back together again.

[@MrSpuentes]

I can't believe this song is almost 40 years old. It still sounds so modern, maybe it's the orchestra instead of synthesizer, but this version is so good. I was around 12 or 13 and in catholic school when this came out...just blew my mind. The sisters frowned upon any music except church stuff 😝. Man these guys still got it and they're still tight and precise.

[@brendawestee2932]

Paul Reynolds is happy in Liverpool running a bed and breakfast. Awww the little things he is happy with, compared to almost yearly booking dates in his heyday. At least he was alive and well on MTV'S band's reunite show taped in mid to late 2000s.

[@anneyng5633]

The band is fantastic and I have to say the Prague Philharmonics is wonderful in complimenting the music without being overwhelming. I love all the faces of the orchestra-especially the pretty lady at the beginning who looks so serious, the puffed cheeks of the brass, to the grinning bearded man on the Strings. It is a wonderful orchestra to combine with the Flock of Seagulls. I hope there will be an Ascension concern with all the performers. It is just a beautiful ensemble.

[@nancysmith4398]

Reynolds made this song what it was. Congrats to him

[@pythagorasaurusrex9853]

You may look old from the outside, but your heart will stay young with music. There has never been a better time to be young than growing up in the 80ies. Flock of Seagulls were part of this. Great to see the boys playing!

Patricia Richardson he's playing a three note triad = not hard . Uses a lot of delay = not hard

[@DaveMiller2]

@@CAVERN1234 You obviously don't understand how talented Paul Reynolds is. Many Uber famous "guitar gods" were influenced by Reynolds guitar work. The guys talent is respected in the guitar world. He was a child prodigy back in the day. It isn't like his whole body of work is a three note triad with delay. And, going on 40 years later, that 3 note triad with delay is STILL being emulated by guys all over the place in garages and basements and other places. Kindly take your snarky comments elsewhere.
