David handed me a single red rose back in the day. I think I was just 16. I only went to the concert because my Aunty Ann didn't want to go on her own. It was a fantastic night. I remember feeling sad that he didn't give it to Ann. Ann was like my 2nd mum. I wanted to preserve the rose, but didn't know how. I put it in the freezer thinking it would give me time to work it out. I don't know what happened to the rose in the end. This track reminds me of the love of my life, and how absolutely amazing she is.

Beautiful.

I am from India, but back in 90s we had access to audio tapes.. i remember this song listening with my friend when i was jut a teen.. this is priceless for me

[@mrtiff99]

I've had this playing in my head for the past hour. I said to my wife let's find it on KZbin. You don't be hear this on the radio anymore, probably the last time ever hear it, let's give it an airing

[@Mum60]

I requested this on our local 6pr talkback radio in Perth, WA a few months ago for the very same reason that you say here. I said I didn't think it had been played on the radio for years and needed an airing, it was played on the after midnight show. I love the piece of music in the middle too. I haven't actually seen the film and would like to get hold of it on DVD. David is very nice-looking in his younger days and has a very nice smile. I sought out video clips of interviews on here to see what he looks like now. He's white-haired now but has aged well really. Still got the smile! I like his other songs too with his cockney accent. Our talkback 6pr radio can be heard online in most countries. Goes 24/7, midnight to dawn, then daytime programmes. Night times are mainly talkback but they'll play the occasional song, and midnight will take some requests, hence my one.

Absolutely Brilliant Song My Number One Favourite From The Brilliant David Essex

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

This song seems largely forgotten, which is a shame because it's pretty amazing, and David Essex came before my time, seeing as I was born in 1977.

[@MrAnniebaby]

Same year as my son

A cultural and musical masterpiece buried deep in our souls

[@daveb6214]

Brings back memories, wish those times were here again.

[@Allyson-Ohlsen]

I have been looking for the full movie for ages. My son is a bike maniac and I keep telling him about this movie. It was epic and it stuck in my mind for years now already.

[@JoeNebula]

It reminds me of the day of Top of the Pops, primary school, cooking dinners from Mum, and having to stop watching TV so Dad could watch the 5.45 ITN news. GOOD TIMES!

[@tonybotting9548]

One of my all time most enjoyable songs and films . I'm nearly 50 now but i remember as a boy no older than 9/10 , my dad and uncle taking me to a Speedway meeting near Dartford The Crayford kestrels , and this song was always playing before racing started , got me so exited .And so started my obsession with racing and bikes .

[@thesanddancerwarrior3503]

I love this one, David's best in my view, a classic.

[@simonwarner6594]

Makes you want to get onto a motorbike and ride

[@lindabishop7266]

Love this my first husband used to play this in the pub he died in a motor car crash in 1980

[@grahamspragg7494]

You should see the movie from which this video comes. Great until a hairpin twist right at the end.

[@TrevorMoses312]

They always mute the ending where the motorcycle's engine is revving so high, it is almost screaming. Gave me chills when I first heard it.

[@akegan]

You have to go to races. Thestart rattles your teeth😅😊

[@vyrnwyangler]

Great track and amazing movie, loved it, and by coincidence at that time I had a Silver Suzuki Gt, brings back great memories when I hear it.

[@richardmedina737]

Here am I, I'm going for another try, Flying high, I've got a lot of love inside. Is there love enough now to get me through? Yeah, I know now where I'm going to - Not to lose now but to win; Tell me, how do I begin? I've a dream, silver dream machine. Well, alright, I've got a lot of love to try, 'Cause love is the thing, And freedom is the word I sing. Is there force now, yeah, to get us through? Yeah, it's deep in me and it's deep in you - Not to lose now but to win, Tell me how do I begin? I've a dream, silver dream machine; Silver dream, silver dream machine. Is there love enough now to get me through? Yeah, I know now where I'm going to - Not to lose now but to win; Tell me how do I begin? I've a dream, silver dream machine; Silver dream, silver dream machine; Silver dream, silver dream machine.

[@stephenwilliams926]

Some nice shots of Donington Park.

[@Spaldingcrow]

I've been frustrated for ages - not even my parents remembered this. I was 6yrs old and remembered the melody but nothing else. So tonight - and I don't know why - I looked it up on the worlds premier memory enhancer and here it is! Thanks for uploading. Will link or play for my olds and see if they remember it now. thinking about it - it's a wonder I've never broken myself on a bike. I don't ride 'em unless my legs are the engine.

[@missperezr]

" worlds premier memory enhancer" - what is that? I've googled and only got links for health supplements

[@grimsadventures-bikesnpetr7913]

My dad was a biker, he had the album, he died on a bike, I still ride...I nearly died aswell....still ride...

[@GaryBeilby]

@@missperezr lol, referring to youtube

[@grahamspragg7494]

@Spaldingcrow, you should count your lucky stars! I only found out about this track because of purchasing the entire movie soundtrack on vinyl from a record shop. Currently, my record player is broken. One of my favourite tracks from said record, is not on KZbin. If you can find it from the "World's [best] memory enhancer", please do let me know. The track is by The Real Thing and is called "Where is Love".

[@patrickwest3076]

Great track.lucky to be brought up in this era.you should watch the film. Silver dream racer.

[@andycuthbert2763]

As a kid when this came out into xtc/Jam/Madness when this came out this didn’t register. However now I see David was a great artist!

[@dee6694]

Brilliant.... David looking gorgeous as always.

[@shirley34]

I loved this movie & I had a huge crush on David Essex back in the 80’s, there were 2 endings for this movie & I saw both, such a sad ending, ain’t seen it in years now though, ain’t got it on dvd, my brother had it on video back in the day which is how I saw it, not sure if you can get it anymore, I’d want the full movie with the extended ending

[@rupert-j8f]

yeh they changed the ending for the american version. i prefer the original ending as its a bit more pessimistic.

[@clips7105]

[@StratsRUs]

Killer song

[@MrPomdownunder]

Great memories I tried to get into the cinema but at 12 they knew I wasn't 16 it was a AA back in the day..... The film echoes the Sheene (god rest him) / Roberts rivalry with Bazza racing in the clips ! Apparently the SDR was only a 125 Suzuki in flashy clothes....Had us fooled ! Today I own 5 motorbikes ride safe all !!

[@andrehenry7714]

AA was 14. You should have tried harder. I got in to see Firefox when I was just 11.😃

[@rouxie8421]

@steve01274 I watched the version where he crashes when I was a kid and the other one yesterday. I had no idea about two versions and could not understand why I had the idea from long ago about the crash. Thanx, I now understand. The movie made me a huge fan of Suzuki and the bike used looks like a Gamma ...

[@stuartclark4264]

Last time I heard this song played was on the Detectorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know who, what, and when.

[@akegan]

I run off with my friend to Imatra rr races 1977. Cecotto, Agostini.WORTH IT

[@jillbradley8877]

So so handsome, just drop dead gorgeous, x. Xx

[@ianisme]

Yes it was a Barton Phoenix, which was built as a serious (though not very successful) challenger for the GP title. Essex wasn't allowed to ride it (insurance reasons) so his bike was a Honda Superdream mocked up to look like the Phoenix. I reckon there were lots of similarities between him and Barry Sheene.

[@Robbiewa-bg4lu]

My late dad loved motorbikes

I heard this when I was 4. I thoroughly loved this song as a kid.

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

Very futuristic

Its fictionary prototype road racing bike, (much more advanced that other factory race bikes of time in the movie)

King of the Gypsies. David, you are always welcome 'round Club 73. 12,000 rpm my son!

[@tinotrivino]

I saw the two endings!!! from the movie!!! it was really sad!

[@rupert-j8f]

yeh in the original british cinema release he crashes at the end, in the american version it fades to black as he crosses the finishing line. I prefer the original ending.

[@therookpiece]

My dad took my mum (to be) on one of their first dates to Donnington Park ans saw some of it being filmed. It must have done the trick!

[@akegan]

I swear I can hear him

[@percy277]

i was there at donington following a local rider John Newbold

[@hoppinonabronzeleg9477]

I remember this in 1980. I was 12! Remembered the song, but never saw the film until 1993. It was on that summer - Looked pretty dated. 'Silver Dream Racer' I think it was called. There was a black guy called CIDER. I kept losing interest, but forced myself to watch it. I don't think the song appeared in it, but may have had backing tracks used as parts of the soundtrack!

[@rupert-j8f]

the instrumental version played over the opening and this version played at the end after he crashed.

[@denisespencer6550]

My sister had a blow up poster of him on our bedroom wall

[@lucynolan3487]

Sweet sweet love ♥

Gosh he looks a lot like Kevin Rowland when he isn't smiling. With their Anglo-Irish background, wouldn't be surprised if they are related.

And a Raleigh striker

[@zeitfieldunite4488]

Just watched a program about Blur, there was nothing amazing, but it appeared the lead singer was very good looking and so Blur must have had a lot of female fans. So the rivalry against Oasis who must have had a stronger male ratio , 90s indy Pop scene for a different generation.
