Go West - Don't Look Down (Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]

[@suspensiondude]

Who else wishes this era of music was still around?

[@davidg5629]

Yeah, me. Even though I play and obsess over guitar, It was great having bass and keys back up front. Guitar is the icing on the cake.

[@JCNippert1]

Everyone from every era poses the same question. Such is life.. As to this song, my question is why was / is it not more popular? It is well written , decent lyrics, good vocals and nice instrumentation. More importantly, the melody and chorus work.

What a pure joy to see Alan Murphy doing what he loved. Truly missed guitar legend.

their best song in my opinion

[@HarlinNeal]

One of the most underrated acts of the 80's. I LOVED this duo.

[@rachelbrough8160]

Ahhhhh this takes me right back.... absolutely LOVED this song and the entire album - which I bought on cassette 😂 and literally played to death. Loved Go West and fancied the pants off Peter Cox, he was such a handsome man especially in his younger years and had such charisma ❤ I wish music today still made me feel the way that this did at the time 😔

[@AshAhmed-no9hc]

Just saw them live yesterday, what talented musicians.....they still have the magic in 2023 as in 1985...thanks guys for a lovely concert, I was too young to see you in 1985!

[@dmhandy]

Great song!

[@markkelk2048]

A very crisp vocal from a very underrated duo

[@trblmkr5139]

i love how goofy they are. they had FUN

[@TheLemonShines]

why is music nowadays so lacking melody and fun theres no classic pop anymore like this tune great tune just fun

[@pommiebears]

Because real bands are a thing of the past. Melodies are crap these days. Mean nothing.

[@TheLemonShines]

@@pommiebears true thats why make our own tunes on here

[@johnrodriguez5277]

This brings back alot of great memories!!! Go West was one of my favorite groups back in the 80s!!! 😎👍

[@KenSherman]

They look like they're having lots of fun in this video. 😇

[@sallyjoan]

this is their best song in my opinion

[@jessemoore7081]

That's what art should be. Fun. Just creative people having a ball, making a video.

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

This played suddenly on the radio while I was in my car. Now I have listened back to A LOT of 80;s tunes in my time but i had totally forgotten this - so it was like a new song to me. Let me tell you that my nervous system went into absolute meltdown when it came on. What a TUNE.

[@davidwatchesyoutube]

I just "re-found" this gem on KZbin! It's going into heavy rotation in my playlists!

[@DaBuffNerd]

Look at all that 80s fun! What a decade!

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

It was a beautiful decade for music, especially while growing up. Like one long day dream that never seemed to end.

[@georgecontreras2219]

The 80's we took so much music for granted, great music that will never return,😎😍👍✴️

[@flowerbedmusic2674]

Beautiful production. Love how it chugs and fizzes and yet you get those lovely long guitar clangs!! How come we don't hear pop music sounding as expensive as this any more?

[@jdrukman]

you hit the nail on the head: expensive. why spend money making lavish studio productions when you can do some cheap thing in a producer's bedroom and it will still hit number one...

[@davidbagunya9306]

what a cool video!! and spectacular the voice of Peter Cox!! brilliant song and what a talented duo!!

[@LeftyStratPlayer]

"Don't Look Down (The Sequel)" by Go West is a rare reimagined song that surpasses the original in terms of energy. Its catchy hooks, lively tempo, and vibrant production capture an infectious vibe that was hard to come by during the late '80s. Unlike the original, which was a mid-tempo pop track, the sequel takes the best elements of the original and amplifies them. With a high-energy, upbeat tempo, the sequel transforms the song into an irresistibly fun anthem. It maintains the original's essence while injecting it with a new, vibrant energy, setting it apart from its predecessor. What truly sets this version apart is its sheer exuberance. The tempo is faster, the production is tighter, and the entire track feels like it's been injected with a dose of pure euphoria. In an era often dominated by, in my opinion, somewhat bland, cookie-cutter pop ballads and brooding synth work, "Don't Look Down (The Sequel)" stood out for its playfulness and lightheartedness. The track exudes a carefree energy that's irresistible-it can bring a smile to the face of even the most jaded listener, allowing them to let go of their trials and tribulations, if only for a few moments, and bask in a sense of calm and delight. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's precisely why it works so well, bringing the listener a sense of pleasure and relaxation. Its impact on the '80s music scene was significant, introducing a new, more upbeat sound that resonated with a broad audience, providing a much-needed escape from the seriousness of the era. Go West's Peter Cox delivers a vocal performance full of charisma and fun, perfectly complementing the lively instrumentation that propels the song forward. The upbeat synths, punchy percussion, and bouncy basslines create a sonic backdrop that invites listeners to get caught up in the moment. It's easy to imagine fans breaking out in laughter or dancing with no inhibitions-the song has that kind of infectious quality, achieved through its catchy hooks, lively tempo, and vibrant production. For the average Go West fan, "Don't Look Down (The Sequel)" feels like a jubilant celebration. It's an improvement over the original, not just because of the production quality, but because it elevates the song's mood to something happy and celebratory. While the original had a more straightforward, somewhat serious pop sensibility, this version throws caution to the wind. The sequel takes everything that worked in the original and amplifies it with a high-energy, upbeat tempo that transforms the song into an irresistibly fun anthem. The sequel maintains the essence of the original but injects it with a new, vibrant energy, making it a more dynamic and engaging listening experience that is hard to resist. It embraces an all-out party vibe, going all out to lift the listener's spirits. It's one of those rare instances where a sequel far outshines its predecessor, making even the most casual listener feel as though they're part of something special and a triumphant celebration of life. Don't Look Down (The Sequal) fosters a sense of belonging and unity among the audience, making them feel part of a larger, ecstatic community. Ultimately, "Don't Look Down (The Sequel)" is a feel-good, high-energy track that captures the spirit of the late '80s. Its upbeat tempo, catchy hooks, and vibrant production are fun, memorable, engaging, and exciting. The song's vibrant production draws the listener in, creating an immersive and dynamic listening experience that is hard to resist. The song invites you to let go, smile, and enjoy the ride. It still stands as a testament to Go West's ability to reinvent its music to resonate with even more excitement and infectious happiness while paying homage to the prevailing musical trends of the '80s. Just my two cents. - Lefty Stratocaster 😃

[@afonsoalaodemagalhs740]

Peter Cox's trajectory reminds me a lot of Steven Seagal's. Both men had instant success at a very ripe age, out of nowhere. Although they both shared a relatively short peak success, they are both examples of people who were not young in their debut, however achieved worldwide superstar status overnight.

If you like this song I suggest listened to songs by The Quick. The two bands were friends with each other and The Quick's style of music heavily influenced Go West. The Quick's song "Young Men Drive Fast" influenced Don't Look Down in a big way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWOWiqt4rZiWhqM
