A Flock Of Seagulls - The More You Live, The More You Love

As a Gen X’er, NOTHING was better than experiencing the 80’s! What a time to grow up!

[@acovenofmany333]

💯 My Gen Z daughter is so envious I saw so many great bands from 1984- present. Saw The Frames and Damien Rice in 2003, 8 mos pregnant with the kiddo! No wonder she loves my music. 😍 #musicismytimemachine

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

I lived the best of both worlds, splitting my growing-up years evenly between the 1970 and 1980s. The best music, best movies, and best TV. I feel so sorry for today's kids, with poor substitutes for all that, i.e. cell phones constantly in their hands and (anti)social media.

I honestly think anyone over the age of 50 truly wants to go back to the 80's. 🙂 The clothes were beautiful, the men had power suites, the Porsche 944 was superb, music of course was much better and TV was better. Society was safer, cleaner and women didn't have their bodies marked up with tattoos.

I turned 15 in November of 1980. I was already taking bass lessons, and by 1981, I was in a band with a good guitarist, a genius drummer, and a classically trained pianist who happened to get a top of the line synthesizer for Christmas. All of a sudden, we were touring around the Nashville area, playing a full set INXS, Flock of Seagulls, Aldo Nova, Duran Duran, Loverboy and the Police. YES, being a teenager in a band in the 80's were THE BEST TIMES!!!!!!

Ese sonido nostálgico, melancólico de los sintetizadores, el sonido de guitarras que se aleja y se expande como ecos cristalinos, las voces flotando como el viento, los colores grises y metálicos de los vídeos, en fin, las producciones de los ochenta y ese sentimiento de un tiempo sin edad, un tiempo sin tiempo, un tiempo de otra dimensión, los ochenta, fueron insuperables. Los viví totalmente y no habrá otra era así, pero se han quedado en mi corazón y en mi mente para siempre...

I know what you mean. My father died in an accident last year. I often put off going to see him, too wrapped up in my own life dominated by working 70 plus hours a week. I did not see him for a long time due to Covid too. The last time I saw him was February 2020 and I had no idea I would never speak to him again as the door closed and I walked away for the last time. Truth to be told, he was always distant and I never felt I knew him but he was the only father I had ( obviously). If I could turn back time, I would reach out and visit more often. He once suggested going to see OMD together on one of their recent tours just to show interest in a band I had always followed but to my shame I declined. The one thing I want to do is pick up the phone to say hello but it can never happen. I will have to own my regrets.

Shows you how powerful this song is: my grandfather used to tell us about his early days in West Africa when he was part of a street gang called Zulashta. They were having a violent turf war with a gang called Goronzo who had at least twice the amount of members. On the night of their big street confrontation they assembled in front of a butcher’s shop. The whole street took cover but the butcher went on with his work as if he knew he was secure. This was playing very loudly on his radio and before the gangs would even take one step forward, they noticed the song and decided to call a truce. He joined the church as an ordained priest a few months later. Just goes to show you the power of the lyrics. My grandfather died in 93 but I’ll always remember him through this song.

Paul Reynolds and the Edge have a similar sound with all the echo, reverb and delay. Such a modern and haunting sound. I love and miss this so much.

They were masters of the creation of simple, memorable melancholic pop tunes. This is what the Synthwave movement is trying to evoke (largely successfully) through the concept of imagined memory and nostalgia. I don't normally overthink or conceptualize retro genres and what journalists say about them but I think many of the Synthwave artists/mixes have nailed that feeling. This track is the real thing of course!

[@gofishglobal7919]

That nostalgic, melancholic sound of the synthesizers, the sound of guitars that move away and expand like crystalline echoes, the voices floating like the wind, the gray and metallic colors of the videos. In short, the productions of the eighties and that feeling of a time without age, a time without time, a time from another dimension, the eighties, were insurmountable. I totally lived through them and there will never be another era like this, but they have stayed in my heart and mind forever... (Comment originally written in Spanish by Douglas Palacios. Thank you, Douglas. This is beautiful and accurate in any language).

As a Kiwi born in 1967 we were so far away from the other side of the World all we ever got on Radio or TV was mainstream hits music.

es la mejor década de la musica los 80

eso es lo que te han dicho,te has parado a pensar. Sabias que en los 90 se decía lo mismo de los 70,y los 70 se añoraban los 50.

Década maravillosa

​@@jonulecia5370 You never give your heart to a stranger. Or tell your secrets to a friend. You'll put your heart in mortal danger. They all desert you in the end. The more you live the more you love. Or so they say: The more you love the more you go away. They say that nothing last forever. And even true love turns to pain. Don't trust your feelings to a stranger. Don't want to ever do this again. The more you live the more you love. Or so they say: The more you love the more you go away...(2×) Don't ever give your heart to a stranger. Don't ever think that you can hold on. You'll put your heart in mortal danger.

[@jedidorn]

Well if you listen and watch this, aren't you back in the 80s for a moment? I am.

yes i am mate totaly agree with you just would actually be there what a great time .

[@WalkeeTalkeeMan]

This is pure new wave

[@victorygah]

I listen it for the very first time during a night of 1984. So cool song! Well, all music in 1984 was perfect. I was 17, and I still feel the same, I'm 17 forever.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

It is the greatest year in music.

My teenage years weren't the greatest. But one great thing about being a teenager in the 80's was the music...

[@gerher9416]

same, those years sucked for me, except for the timeless music

[@charlottepriest2409]

My teenage years were interesting , there was some great times , but then not so great but this music and groups that first started up '81-'83 the sound and lyrics were so awesome and has stayed with us I always go back and listen when feeling nostalgic ! I was 19 in 1982 and the music carried right through my 20's and it's magical.

[@dirkvandermerwe6027]

Well said 👍💪

[@ScoreGuru123]

Charlotte Priest if only I could go back in time to my teen years in the 80's. the world was full of hope. the only thing I look forward to now is retirement from the society enforced slavery that is work 😑

[@sanjaykrverma504]

Hey, I'm an 80s teenager.

[@Dedalus72]

La melancolía que provoca esta canción es peculiar. No es deprimente. Es dolorosa y dulce a la vez. Es una tristeza hermosa. Propia de un adolescente de esa época. El escenario que eligieron para el vídeo fue todo un acierto, pues concuerdan el placer nostálgico de la melodía con la nostalgia legana, infinita y magica que se siente delante el mar en una rompiente dominada por los tonos azules y fríos. Geniales los 80s❤

[@l.v1440]

Totalmente de acuerdo 👍🏻

[@FernandoZambrano-fb2nr]

pura verdad😢

[@filmacionesfadifutboldepor4853]

Tuve el privilegio de vivir esa epoca entre mis 22 y 32 años, en ese tiempo conoci al amor de mi vida y esta musica me transporta a todo aquello. Los 80 fueron y seran siempre insuperables......

El año 1995 mi hija mayor cumplía un año de nacida pero sabes? ; estas canciones no las volví a escuchar años de años después y me doy que mi década más marcada en mi Ser es la de los ochentas. DEFINITIVAMENTE.

[@jonulecia5370]

No nos envidies,entonces se decía que los 60 o 70's fueron la mejor epoca para la música. Parece que nadie se da cuenta de que es una cuestión generacional y que los 80 tenian de bueno lo mismo que los 50 o los 2070. Siempre pasa lo mismo,lo tengo probado.

[@charlyraly339]

No te sientas mal la generación de los 80' sin egoísmo pensó para que esta música sea de todos los colores, cumpla con las 7 notas musicales y cumpla para todas las generaciones. Es tu música también y tus hijos los escucharán. Es hereditario esto

[@markvineyard4149]

Music is one of the best things that my parents inherited to me, Thannks Dad, Mom!!You have a great musical style :)

[@curesaul5749]

I started working with my dad not long ago. During our car rides he listens so some 80’s music. I’m starting to appreciate them more every day. I guess this type of music will never die if we pass it on to the next generation.

[@sumbuddy63]

I love the subtle and simplistic elegance of the guitar work. I didn't really appreciate this stuff in the 80s. Glad it turned out to be worth rediscovering.

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend a new 80's style song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

[@Cherokeelion]

The guitar interplay is fantastic isnt it

[@sumbuddy63]

@@Cherokeelion It's a shame Paul Reynolds couldn't expand on his guitar ability and his ear for music. I read he was pretty chewed up by the industry. He was pretty young in the 80s.

[@tinytonymaloney7832]

This was my favourite of all their stuff. FoS was brilliant band as was the 80's. Why did the 80's have to end? I miss it all still, mid 50's and I still can't let it go. Real music, proper music, original not like the fabricated crap the weirdos and 5 minute wonder groups turn out now. There is a documentary on the tube somewhere about some guy who bought FoS back for a reunion. Worth a watch.

[@wimbledonbjj]

Hear hear mate 👍 I’ve seen that reunion documentary...BRILLIANT!!
