[@brianjohnston4117]

Just love this song . Memories of 84 . ! Xx . Bristol .

[@PeterHughes]

This is a legend record. It will be played in the year 3000 with no doubts.

[@druidswillow1052]

So glad I found this and that they're still going strong, This is my favourite song of theirs was a 15yr old rebel without a clue when it came out now a 55yr old without a clue!🎶👍

[@charleyfarley5065]

One of my favourite 80's songs 😍

[@martinhawkrsworth9676]

And mine too Absolutely brilliant live WOW take care

[@DuncanCaddick]

Takes me back to a better time. Sure we we're all threatening one another with nukes, but ... I don't know ... just seemed have to some hope then in that things would get better. I'm not so sure anymore, but the music was fantastic,

[@HaroldSeddon-g9u]

So boring

[@paulgalvin6247]

brilliant memories

[@engelauferdenalex]

I know every word of this song. Thank you!

[@johnchadwick7660]

One of the best tunes from 1983 love this tune to go back in time

[@rw8733]

50p from Woolworths. Half of my pocket money. I squandered the rest on Pick N Mix. Great time to be young. 😊

[@Chris-pv2ht]

Looked a good night of beautiful music

[@NormanNormality]

Still a phenomenal song after all these years.Eddie and Gary are brilliant consummate musicians.Never tire of seeing them live.Every gig I’ve seen them at has been great.Looking forward to many more

[@PeterHughes]

I'll have to checkout where they play 👍🏻

[@idoyahel]

wwooo. what a beautiful song!. Such a sweat memory from the 80'

[@hillyhog3064]

I saw them supporting Simple Minds in 1983 at the London Lyceum and liked them immediately. 40 years ago. My god.

[@skyhawk747]

One of my all time favourites. Thanks for uploading Steph xx

[@marko8854]

Glad thier still touring love this band

[@marksmith383]

Timeless

[@royculshaw8314]

I love this song to the point it almost brings to tears. The only other song of theirs that moves me in such a way is Christian. China Crisis are a great band and I'm so glad the guys are still out there doing what they do.

[@michaelkubutat6606]

Exactly what I feel. I was 15 when Christian was a hit and 16 in January 84. I will never understand why Wishful thinking only went to No.9 in the UK-charts. To me this is a No.1 hit.

[@Richard-o9r1z]

Love this band they are brilliant ❤

[@rw8733]

Absolutely magnificent. 👏 What a great band. 👍

[@HaroldSeddon-g9u]

Absolutely crap that tambourine player is dreadful

[@deadfdr]

This band has a strong discography. Dig deep. You won’t be disappointed.

[@michael5089]

I will. Thanks ❤❤❤❤😎👌🤘🤘

[@fluorosco]

I will too I know Black Ma Ray and this, but that's it This is gorgeous ❤❤

[@davidwebb8877]

Watched these lads at Let’s Rock Liverpool,I think they replaced Adam Ant,they where fantastic.

[@mrsuperger5429]

Beautiful song. China Crisis, unsung heroes. God bless ya lads !

[@dylan3657]

Calms your soul in these troubled times👍👏

[@Tackytiger74]

Wonderful band...massively under-rated!!

[@scotireland3087]

Beautiful

[@robwhitton7399]

Indeed! Saw them yesterday at Worthing, brilliant evening of music and humour,I salute them 40 years still out there doing it👍

[@terencebarrett2897]

Absolutely brilliant,and so atmospheric

[@dominiquemessager3008]

❤

[@PeterHughes]

I'd gladly pay to see them anywhere near Colne. Please come to the Muni Hall. You lot would fill it with ease. 🙂

[@Jungleland33]

Bloody hell, that was excellent....even though most of the band weren't even born when the song was released. 10/10.

[@robwhitton7399]

Timeless ! Seeing them in February can’t wait!👍

The Scallies. Still brilliant. My favourite song of all time...

[@seanhazlewood634]

What a cracking song they have still got it thank you for sharing this

[@neilgraves5069]

A belter of a song x ❤️🙏👊

[@davewilliams7130]

One word = longevity 👍

[@rw8733]

Another word ... Brilliant 👏 😂

[@hyena131]

@davewilliams7130 "One word - longevity", you say. That's not true though is it. China Crisis are an all but forgotten band of yesteryear no longer remotely relevant or commercially popular or successful.

[@knightsofneeech]

Thanks for the great video. So glad to hear these guys are still singing this beautiful melody. Reminiscent of REMs Automatic For the People album.

[@kamilkamilowsky6782]

The Best song!

[@rolandrenner757]

[@halfordslain7477]

No Eddie always sung it...

[@Reelin_In_The_Years]

@@halfordslain7477 ... I think Andy is referring to this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4u1ZWiMZpiVorc In that one, whilst Eddie is singing, Gary is playing guitar and Eddie has the lead electric tambourine 😸
