Captain Sensible - Glad its all over (HD)

[@boffin3398]

Two nineteen year old kids fell in love in the summer of '87. It was a short but very intense time before they went their separate ways. The years passed, and they lived their lives but never forgot that glorious summer and the moments spent dancing to this song. 34 years on, and their paths crossed totally unexpectedly. The feelings were still there and are even stronger than ever. I love you, Urchin. Always have, always will. ❤

[@Adrian-jk4kx]

Amazing... .... one of those wonderful things....

[@johncrawfordpiano]

A beautiful story... thank you for sharing

[@ChristopherLightfoot-zu3kb]

That bought tears to my eyes ❤

[@deanodeano8604]

Late summer, 1984, aged 13, eating chips & playing manhunt and jumping through people's back gardens thinking we were the bees knees, we knew fck all! Such an underrated song that just doesn't date in my opinion. The 80s really were brilliant

[@stephentetley684]

Superb times, Deano!

[@paulrous1670]

Great times indeed 👍.. and a great record ! Altho I must say that synthesized sound has dated to my ears ! But still love it ... would love to hear the cpt covering it with the damned 😁

[@SillyPudding]

Precious days, my friend

[@frankgunner8967]

The best times they'll never be forgotten.

You just mentioned my childhood my friend,have a great day 👍

[@JulieWare-xd2jp]

What a song. I ❤Captain Sensible. The 80s, what a decade for music.

[@neiljones1842]

I haven’t heard this song in years, now I can’t stop playing it. We definitely had the best decade for music…

[@bigtwit799]

yep the naughties were the best

[@TheAstradyne]

@@bigtwit799 Nah , the 80's have it hands down.

[@DreSoul2049]

80s all the way!

[@ajs41]

You know why it sounds so good? Because it was produced by genius producer Tony Mansfield.

​@@bigtwit799 the naughties was utter shite

Heard this literally last night at work on the radio! Back in 1983 I was 15 years old and loving it! X

very underated composition in my opinion

A perfect song more relevant today than ever - searching for the people who never never went to war ❤

[@Andrew-q3n6c]

It is a really underrated song, i absolutely loved it the first time i heard it and still love it now, 40 years later.

[@martinbhoy]

Let a punk loose with synths and this sort of thing happens! Sublime Captain! Timeless.

[@ajs41]

Produced by genius Tony Mansfield, who also co-wrote the song.

[@ConeFlower-gx2qk]

As a punk who used to play in a hardcore band I’ve accumulated synths and I have more fun with them than anything else

[@mayurseta2560]

the 1980's had so many fantastic songs and this song was over looked - it's a pure CLASSIC and deserves to be recognised as a GREAT 80s song

[@nigella03]

Great song from one of the most underrated musicians of the last 30 years!

[@pomsters3264]

I remember buying this record when it was in the charts. I was 21 at the time and in a bad place, this track helped me to just say fuck it and i walked away from everything.

[@justinesutton4380]

This is definitely the best Captain sensible song love the Captain.

[@MrGuypeters]

I think most people used to think he was slapstick novelty re his early solo releases Happy Talk and Wot after his time in The Damned - but in all seriousness records like this brilliantly crafted tune turned all that perception on it's head, Ray Burns was a very clever fellow.

[@ambientatomicorbitals7810]

That chord change at 0:59 is the main reason I’ve always loved this track.

[@pauloliver6813]

absolutely right.

[@stefaniacontessa]

Legit!!!!

[@jm252]

March 1984 when this came out.. Loved it ever since!,,,,, Still listening in 2024! 40 years later and so much has happend since then!...

[@mikekaraoke]

So you didn't hear it playing at a family party/shopping centre when playing the album: The Power of Love as that came out in late 1983 and this was the 3rd anf final single taken off of it! My cousin still has thisaalbum on Chrome Cassette!

[@jm252]

@@mikekaraoke I wasnt a big fan until I heard this!. He was good in The Damned too!

[@cjhards]

Awesome track from a fantastic era 🫡

[@PurpleTT99]

Co-written by Tony Mansfield who also wrote Living by Numbers by New Music. Both tunes have a very similar melody as the title is sung. No bad thing!

[@Lelzing]

I'm addicted to this song, what a gem.

[@notaYEC1955]

Given this video was made over 38 years ago, the people featured must be pretty old now. That’s pretty scary. I was only 28 when this was in the charts. I’m 66 now. Great tune.

[@ajs41]

I remember this from the time. I was 5 years old. Think I saw it on Top of the Pops.

[@neilcraig7254]

I saw it on TISWAS. Great days.

[@lesleyhubble2976]

Was thinking the same thing, I’m 63

[@davidmoore9153]

Great fucking days I whant them back

[@markphipps985]

Commented on this 5 months ago & NOTHING has changed …….still a great song ……have to love the 80’s

[@bimmerboy8]

Leaving school at the time ... Our teacher allowed the class out for the day This was on the radio on the way back ... our class was singing (shouting) this song I remember feeling very sad at the time ... How time has passed !

[@clarestubbs9303]

Me too, Stefano! We had just finished our O levels and we were all singing it. Can't believe it was 38 years ago. I feel so old!

[@FrancescaHolland-ru9xt]

The 80s was undoubtedly the best ever music decade ever evokes such great memories what a feel good 🎵 song.

[@dannyboyspain1]

OMG i just thought of this tune and found it after not hearing it for sooooooo long. Back in 1984 this was a TUNE, and guess what, it still is a TOP TUNE. Great music from a great time...

[@charleysays2753]

The last ever song on Dom Jolly's Trigger Happy TV brought me here... Yes it is over 20 years ago when it finished but I just watched it all again on Netflix... Absolutely forgotten all about this beauty of a song that never ever gets played on the radio... Brilliant...

[@felixjones9198]

That Dom Joly series was unexpectedly moving. I remember a scene where he's playing a mafia don or something having dinner in a restaurant and someone walks in and shoots him dead. Then "Madame Butterfly" by Malcolm McLaren plays as he lies face down in his plate.

[@vandrossfan5822]

If the Captain didn't come across as guy who was just having a good time, and not taking the mickey most of the time, this song would have been taken more notice of for the lyrics, that have a real message, great song from a great ere.

[@cookster1001]

Always have time for this ace tune. I remember coming out of hospital with pneumonia as a kid and this seemed to fit perfectly. Made me very happy

[@josephgilligan9698]

16 in 84. Wot a year. The anti cold war year. Love mid to late 70s early 80s music. This was a strange hit.

[@muttley9520]

This is such a great song, love it.

[@Internetpolice666]

Indeed. But counterbalanced by one of the worst videos of all time.

[@JohnLloydDavis]

Tony Mansfield of New Musik is responsible for the music being so awesome and the Captain is the icing on the cake.

[@cliffordmargrett8666]

I played this a lot when i was a D.J. Fantastic Song. I Loved the 80s Great Music Wish i could go back.

Whatever happened to Apline Soft Drinks?? Did they go bankrupt. The good old days... My driving licence still shows the 7.5T driving entitelment...HOWEVER it is not worth the ink it is printed on. Unless you are driving a 7.5T horse box etc.

Wished that the captain would have teamed up and done a song with Madness, would have been such a good match! Many thanks for this clip, great song.

[@paulrous1670]

Love the captain met him several times and he will always give you the time of day , the last time I met him he remembered my name .. I couldn't believe it !! Your right about madness that would be great , he would be great with the blackheads too !!!

[@joseschmoe2800]

Reminds me of this british gf - Susan - I wuz living with here in Chicago for one fabulous year, 1985. Her sister back in England would send her cassettes (remember those?) with the latest top hits in the UK and in one of these, this tune came up. The radio DJ explained it was a celebration that the Malvinas (Falklands) war was over. I will always remember Susan, my one true love, when I hear this.

[@Chasb001]

Reminds me of my wild youth living and working in London...great song...hasn't dated...

the things i could say about this wonderful record is that it is Ray Burns ,s best recording since he left the damned and i first heard this record on April 1984. it will become the most awesome record of all time !!!!!!!

[@Jeffbutcher1969]

I feel the same way. I was 14-15 living in the States. I was playing this on cassette. I had this beautiful black girl I just met. Being in the US just after the 70's I had a waterbed. She stripped the sheets and covered the bed with oil so it was slippery and I took her right then. 5 seconds later I was done and this song played and she said in a non mocking nice tone. I'm not glad it's over. Can't remember what I had for dinner but that is vivid in my mind. Never saw her again. Good times. Hey this is Penthouse Letters right. Peace from the States. Don't blame me I didn't vote for him. He's insane. Hopefully he won't make a full year. We're not all into sex with animals over here. Just the uneducated trump voters

When this came out I had a broken heart, and working in a toilet warehouse in North Yorkshire, having fled from London & a vengeful bank, didn't speed the healing. I thought the poignancy & melancholy I heard in this was Just Me. But I still hear it. Seems there were 2 Sensibles, the "I'm not a rock star" oaf who shat in people's hotel beds like the worst possible '70s rock star (it being some poor menial worker cleaning it up, very People's Champ, Mr Burns - should've had your nose rubbed in it) and then this sensitive soul.
