ABC - Be near me (Extended Version)

[@robertfernandez1312]

Wow. We really did grow up in the best era. No internet, no social media, no reality tv. This song is still great after all of these years.

Yes it was the best era without all the stuff you mentioned...we didn't need it...we actually went out with our friends in real life and we talked on the phone. It was a wonderful time to be in your 20s for sure.

[@natet7323]

I’d only go back to visit again…..it wasn’t all that great back then. We had high inflation and high interest in the early 80’s. We had a few sad moments through the decade….remember the Challenger? The cars were underpowered and crappy….don’t want those back for everyday use. Plus….I’d really miss the Internet and todays medical technology. I only miss the music and everyone’s sense of pride….and people trying to do the right thing. Era is long gone….

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Me. Too.

[@darringraham2613]

This is one of the 80s song that puts that lump in your throat and takes you back to school from the 80s when the world had great vibes and the 80s chicks were so natural and so beautiful and the radio was on fire with great music and the movies and TV shows were also great. Long live generation x ❤✌, I would go back to the 80s in a blink and this time I would stay forever 🤙👍❤🙏🌏

I didn't ask the post-er of this video, Ricardo yet to confirm. But this sounds like he made this Extended version himself, by blending the instrumental version with the vocal. I bought the 12-in vinyl when it came out and it had three versions on it. None of them were as extended as this. If he did this, he did a great job!

I'm going through a HORRIBLE divorce after 20 years of marriage. The happy news is that my high school boyfriend, my first love, and I have reconnected. It's like the last 40 years never happened, like I'm right back in high school! And we both feel it. I JUST texted him a link to this song, and it could have been written for us. I love that concept of being near. And it's a beautiful thing to feel that someone is always near, even when they're 1000 miles away. Fairytales DO come true. Don't be afraid to go find YOURS!!! 😊

[@sonnydean3187]

The magic of music is that we always remember where we were when we first heard the music. I was newly stationed in Germany in the U.S Army with my college sweetheart bride. No kids yet. Just me and her. When I wasn't on deployment, we had a blast! This great song takes us both right back to Germany in 1985. Our first car together was a brand new 85' Audi Quattro sedan purchased in Germany. We brought it back to CONUS with us. That Audi lasted well into the 90's until we finally wore it out hauling kids around.

Zillionaire was such a clever ABC album... the ballads are elite and the bangers all really... errr Bang! Eden and David added flavour to the unique visuals around the record. Its the least appreciated of the first 5 LP's but was the biggest by far in the USA, the last place on earth you'd expect the irony laced "How To Be..." being a big record on pop/rock radio and MTV.
