Christopher Cross - Never Be The Same (Official Lyric Video) [80s Austin Texas Footage]

[@MorrisB1971]

Looking at those scenes of life in America in the early 1980s brings a tear to my eyes. Wishing we still had those simpler times again. God it was awesome flaws and all. Just so much more positive and just a great vibe. I'm so glad I have those memories of being a kid and teen then. Thanks Christopher Cross for this amazing song and your voice. You are a blessing to the ears

[@marcellogarcia4702]

Thank you Morris, you described exactly what I felt watching these scenes above! We were happy and didn´t know.

[@WemmieFemmie]

Exactly. I know most people view their earlier days as simpler times. However, it was very much that way. The world was more hopeful then.

[@macpdm]

We never had the feeling of glamour and proportions that came from the US. Not a criticism. But in the UK I fondly remember that same feeling. Starsky & hutch, magnum, hart 2 hart my fave shows though 😀 ❤

[@FenwayJoe7129]

I miss the 70's and 80"s. Gosh those were wonderful times. Yes, there were some flaws perhaps not perfect but they were easily the best times of my life.

[@randyaltiman3426]

Sad to think that generations will never experience what we did.😢

[@Thomasp671]

I will never forget the 80s..... Best time of my life... At the time I was unaware how good I had it and didn't know it.....

Wonderful to see Nicolette Larson singing by Chris' side. I loved her voice and her music too. Valerie Carter added some serious soulfulness to his songs as well. Sweet memories.

[@Gary_Reid_Backing_Tracks]

Almost Nothing is more 80s than this... Also, no song has ever needed the subtitles as much as this one. I love that this is Chris's travel vlog of the height of his fame.

I'm 50 and this was one of my favorite songs then and still is today. Do you remember "Solid Gold" with Dionne Warwick? You know, you have to admit, we come from the best 10 years of our lives, the 1980s.👍

70´s and 80´s musics and bands; I´m blassed to have lived these fantastic times...

[@70Kenny]

Just beautiful. A snapshot in time of an American city. People just living their lives, as their lives were then. The children in the video have now become adults. The adults in the video have either grown old or passed away. Nobody’s life is unchanged by time. I remember “Never Be The Same” as one of my favorite songs of the early 1980’s. I never thought that someday I’d hear the song played along with scenes from the 1980’s and feel so emotional over it.

[@jamesdurham1965]

Absolutely beautiful to let these 81y old ears 😎🎸🥁🎹🔥💨💨💨💨💨💨🎶

[@cutcut1980]

In the mid-80's I was 14. My church youth took a trip to Austin. I had my first girlfriend. I held her hand in the church van. What a magical time. Austin was a small, quirky state capital having around 350,000 back then. I think the metro is over 2 million now. That 1980's Austin only exists in my memory now.

Thank you sharing this video! My wife and I are from Austin and grew up there in the 80s. The Zilker train, Robert Mueller airport, Palmer Auditorium, Barton Springs Pool, old Lake Travis (pre development), campus, and the drum! And the music of course! I made my mom play this album all the time when I was little. Ah the nostalgia! Mom says I wore out that plastic toy horse to Ride Like the Wind.😂 I miss this Austin!

Man...I was born in 1976. I remember movies like Arthur (which I wasn't too into having preferred The Toy, etc...) and Sunday drives with the folks in the car before I had a clue about what music or pop culture or whatever was. I just loved Star Wars and Bugs Bunny...haha These fucking songs make me feel so warm! They're the soundtracks of my childhood and I fucking love them! It's difficult to help your 10 year old understand what it was like being bored in the backseat of a Montecarlo listening to these tunes on a rainy Sunday while your parents seemed to drive around aimlessly. Man.... can I have it back for just one afternoon please!
