Two Girls React To Spandau Ballet - True (HD Remastered)

[@thomasjustice1716]

Tony Hadley still sounds incredible. I saw him live a few years ago and I was amazed by his stage presence! Afterwards he signed autographs and did photos. I was the last in line but he stayed to the end and so kind to everyone.

[@dalee72]

What city did you see them in?

[@ianbillington708]

I'm going to see him in March 2024 in Liverpool

[@sliverwolf1992]

The 80's such a brilliant decade the slow dancing I did to this song.

[@mkmstillstackin]

I was a teenager in the 80's. This kind of music was the heartbeat of my youth. The fact that you guys appreciate both this song, "True", and "Gold" absolutely blows my mind! It's so refreshing seeing this coming from you two, smart young ladies, of this generation. What a joy. I really appreciate this.

[@jamesgonzales5285]

As do I. I spent my teens in the early 80's, and thank God. 😊 Memories are gold, and still warm my heart.

[@timfarfan9592]

Love how Tony Hadley's incredible voice is touching a whole new generation of listeners. He is a one of a kind talent.

[@djdannyd3792]

It's nice to see how kids like you not only hear and "understand" such a strong track, but also feel it! Very musical....

[@garylagstrom3864]

This song is in many movies:” True" is featured in the movies Pixels, Sausage Party, Sixteen Candles, Charlie's Angels, Crazy Stupid Love, Hot Tub Time Machine, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer sung by Steve Buscemi's character.

[@rotorudage]

Young ladies recently subscribed to your channel. Great job. Wish you both the best. A future request simple minds "alive and kicking". Thanks

[@anniek4919]

So much emotion in this song. This the song of an era. So quintessential of the 80’s. Great job ladies. Saxophone is such a mood

[@blackvador7177]

2 choices for me : True by Spandeau Ballet Ans Carreless Whisper by Wham

[@jameslambert4487]

This makes my heart smile. I was 12 years old in 1983 when this song came out. This is a great song. You two ladies were born in the wrong decade. You would have loved living in the 1980's.

Spandau Ballet: enchanting women the world over since 1984

[@paulb9453]

What a lovely reaction to this song.

[@user-jd1hw8sl6u]

True is how he feels, 1983 it first came out, was mine and Tony's song ❤

[@charlesc7950]

One of the very best 80's new wave hits.

[@michaelscott9974]

I love how you young ladies just soak up the song And how it touches ur soul Welcome to the 80's

[@DanielFrost21]

Girls, it's nice that you're posting on a regular basis.

[@walkwithyan]

imagine thats the song we had in the 1980s when i was in high school. girls and boys falling in love left and right. 😂

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

Hey girls when this song was released I was only 14 years old loved it then love it now. Great reaction! 🙏🏽✌🏽🌎🌍🌏♥️

[@patpeterson2671]

A total of fve different films made use of the song “True” by Spandau Balllet. These include “The Wedding Singer” in 1998; “Charlie's Angels” in 2000; “Pixels” in 2015; and “Not Another Teen Movie” . The winner, however, has to be “Sixteen Candles” in 1984 where “True” was played in one scene for one full minute.

[@UTU49]

Holy moly. I need to rewatch 16 Candles. It appears that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore both like this song.

[@angelaluz405]

Great reaction! I agree with Mia. I love when he goes from the almost whispering vocal to punching the word true really hard. Fantastic! I'd love for yo guys to react to Digging Your Scene by The Blow Monkeys and Under the Milky Way by The Church. Both are fantastic songs from the 80s. I think you will like them both.

[@maiden-eq4uv]

A classic from the 80s thank you girls for discovering the awesome music from the 80s from my teenage years

[@marcoweijers7474]

The 80’s music from my youth!

[@NerdGirlUK]

The last dance at so many school discos in the 80s. MASSIVE hit of the 80s.

[@captainprototype187]

This song is like a warm summer breeze blowing past your face.

[@shawnmichael777.]

Mia is my favorite singer : )

[@shawnmichael777.]

@@Bobby0606 hey Bobby! Wasn't that a fun live? I must say, the song Anti-Social is now stuck in my head. I very much enjoyed the concert footage. What did you think? Don't tell anyone but.. I think I saw their dad!! Hope you are doing well my friend : )

[@vincerussell6893]

Iconic Love Song that never gets old! Songs of my youth, songs of coming to age, songs of our lives, we still love this stuff!

[@essidrovital6397]

True was played more than once in the movie Sky High

[@ThBKK]

This is the legend of 80s song. ✌️

[@markwebb9594]

I know this much is True..You girls have the Best Channel!!!!!?

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

This song is a classic True by Spandau Ballet just amazing the members of Spandau Ballet are: Tony Hadley (vocalist), John Keeble (drummer), Gary Kemp (guitar, piano and backing vocals) his brother Martin Kemp (bass) and Steve Norman (saxophonist). By the way Gary Kemp is better known as Sy Spector in the movie The Bodyguard starring by Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. Thank you ladies great reaction just awesome😊😊😊😊

[@AlizeeDefan]

It reeks of '80s retro New Wave! A very special time in music history

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Spot on about the sax..in any romantic song..❤️👍

[@dennissanjuan1486]

The sax is my favorite musical instrument and this song didn't disappoint me.

[@ponypower8]

(From Wikipedia): "True" is a song by English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released in April 1983....number one on the UK chart in April 1983 and made the top 10 in several other countries, including the US....used in films such as Sixteen Candles and 50 First Dates, as well as TV series like Modern Family...."'True' is about how difficult it is to be honest when you're trying to write a love song to someone"....the Hot 100.."True" peaked at number 4....Later in the month..Adult Contemporary chart, where it spent 22 weeks, one of them at number 1...."

[@ianbillington708]

They were new romantics .

[@discobobentertainmentmore]

This song was really big back in the 80's. I still here it alot today. Great song. Great job on this reaction

[@patpeterson2671]

As I lived and clubbed the 1980s ..... Me and my friends always wore suits and ties .... the 80s brought back the 1930s/40s/50s ... you dressed respectful ....... you always looked your absolute best .....

[@extdiso]

Great song, the saxophone really takes it over the top!

[@greeneyesinfl9954]

When he says listening to Marvin all night long he's talking about the great Marvin Gaye. I know the song was in The wedding Singer and I'm sure other movies as well. Great review always ladies.

[@otisroseboro5613]

I First Heard This Song In The Movie , Sixteen Candles,A Great 80s Movie😊,Love It Classic

[@ericrussell8463]

I DONT KNOW IF EITHER ONE HAS FELT TRUE LOVE BEFORE BUT THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE LOST IT AND YOU WANT IT BACK

[@billofalltrades2633]

True is their most famous song. Glad y'all reacted to this song! Great reaction 😃

[@garylagstrom3864]

I’m old I danced to this song during Prom in 1987 but it came out in 1983 and slow danced to it then and now I’m 54.

[@isrj01]

I loved the way you experienced the same feeling as girls 40 years ago listening to this song for the first time.

[@Hermit-63]

You really should hear “Through the Barricades” from them, one of the most beautiful songs you’ve ever heard. Great show hi from the UK!!

[@HalSchirmer]

Oh, this was basically the soundtrack to EVERY awkward 1980s and 1990s young-teen school dance. Of course it took about 5 minutes for HIM to ask HER to dance, and another 5 minutes for HER to check with friends to approve, and by then the song was over. BUT this was usually followed up with Prince's "Little Red Corvette" which was enough of a mix between fast dancing and slow dancing to be acceptable by the chaperones.

[@otisroseboro5613]

I Can Play This Song Over & Over That's How Much I Love This Great Classic Song 👍😊

[@johncalvert1736]

this is awesome. I was 14 when this song came out. Been a fan ever since. Glad the younger generations like the music!

[@brentkelsay3439]

This was a major slow jam back in the day. And you caught the Marvin Gaye reference--impressive! Please react to another romantic song with saxophone...Sade, Is it a Crime, Live video from San Diego. The band sounds great, the sax is smoking, and Sade's vocals are incredible. Great reaction, the best part was the mini concert after the reaction! YEE!!!🔥🎷🔥

[@garylagstrom3864]

SPANDAU BALLET: The band's classic lineup featured Gary Kemp on guitar, synthesiser and backing vocals, his brother Martin Kemp on bass, vocalist Tony Hadley, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble.

FINALLY! you were driven to the 70's 80's and 90's ... They used to play on the radio together with all others like Journey... and INXS, new ones, all the hits! yeay

[@MsTruthseeker999]

I totally agree...sax makes your soul soar and fills your whole being, just love it! Sadly it's an instrument that's missing from today's music but was prolific throughout the 80's ❤This is a great song and the harmonies are spot on

[@steveeverett1736]

very true such as Tina Turner, The Motels, Foreigner and a few others as well

[@andymcgill354]

Tony such a great singer

[@darkprose]

This was a great reaction. You both are so lovely! I really like this channel. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences of new music with us.

[@detroitpolak9904]

You have no idea idea how much the song was played back then. You knew every word even if you hated it

[@t.r.1708]

Maybe because the sax comes from breath and is held close to the heart.

[@MrHws5mp]

Yeah they need to make it three in a row and finish with that one. I'm not even a huge SB fan, but TtB's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Back in a time when singers could actually sing. Miss those days.

[@andymcgill354]

Such a great song

[@tonyesquivel2012]

This is a great song...

[@robb9395]

Spandau Ballet is my "guilty pleasure" of a band. I really liked them. This was kind of a classic "standard" in the middle of a rock and roll world. And Tony Hadley could sing.

[@bighouse1695]

Iconic song of the ‘80’s. When I think of definitive songs of that time this is on the short list. He has a really pure voice and this song definitely displays it. This was a great reaction. Very happy to see you were excited about this one.

[@paulcasey5486]

he wrote this about a singer/actress called clare grogan from altered images or gregory,s girl or later on mtv or vh1 presenter.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

When they play this total BANGER in the supermarket you just gotta loiter in the bread aisle until its over 🙌🏻

[@ajs41]

This was the one of the biggest hits of the 80s here in the UK.

[@DforDelinquent]

Loved your reactions. This song is part of the sound track of my high school days. It is sublime. So much more in the 80s for you to discover. Keep going!

[@shawnk7832]

If you have heard the first hook... Yah you never forget it .. can't place the movie... Happy Happy tho... yaaaayyy 😁

[@rockrips]

This song has the unique ability to make you think that lead singer Tony Hadley is going to belt...then denies you. Until he does. And he does it like a boss. So may New Wave (or New Romance) artists' voices were overlooked because they were considered a trend and nobody took them seriously, until songs like this came out (or Bono in U2, or Alison Moyet in Yazoo, or solo). Great reaction.

[@blairhinton7535]

Interesting comment about the Sax. You're exactly right. The sax is almost exclusively, the only instrument that can be used in just about every genre of music. I wish I had learnt to play it .

[@phickle]

This was the song you hoped they'd play in the clubs so you could get one, sweet, slow dance with the girl you came with.

I'm old school rocker and back in the day MTV actually played music videos. I would sit and sometimes watch for a little while and when this song came on this head banger would just listen and think, what a beautiful song. 👍💙

This song was also sampled in the big 90’s hit “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss” by PM Dawn. You may also remember the melody from that song

[@MrHws5mp]

The other thing that might make this sound familiar to you is that the intro keyboard "boop-boop" has been sampled to death. I understand why people recommended 'True', but I really, REALLY think you should make it three Spandau Ballet tracks in a row and finish with 'Through The Barricades': read up the background to the song and it'll hit you in all the feels. If you like Spandau Ballet you'll probably also like ABC, a similarly 'classy' band from the same era. Check out 'The Look of Love' (hilarious official video BTW) or 'All Of My Heart'. When I was a teenager, an instrumental version of The Look Of Love was the theme tune to a radio show that played some seriously good tunes on a Saturday night: good memories... 🙂

For me this song is about spirituality than romance.

[@matthiaslangbart9841]

I think "True" is about Tony Hadley (the singer) trying to confess his love to a girl by letter -- not in person, and still unable to do it. All he knows to be TRUE is how much he loves her. Once I figured that out, all the lyrics made sense to me. Fun fact: I was 14 when this song came out, and it didn't take a year until I found myself in just the same situation as Tony.

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

You girls are so fun. Love watching you enjoy the music. They were played alot on MTV, when it first aired, around 1982.
