EIGHT SECONDS - kiss you (when it's dangerous)

[@steviev958]

It’s a long list that leaving anyone out seems a major oversight. Rough Trade, Martha and the Muffins, Images In Vogue, Boys Brigade, Pukka Orchestra, Chalk Circle, Harlequin, April Wine, Lisa DalBello, Tú, Platinum Blonde, Red Rider…you can add to this list for a long time and still end up missing a ton more.

I was in grade 9 when this came out sometime in the fall of 1986. I remember distinctly listening to this song playing on my radio during winter of 1987 while I did my homework. I wanted to finish it fast so I could go outside and skate on the outdoor ice-rink in the park behind my house before I went to bed. Good times.

No auto tune no clap track.... Just melody and talent...

[@vicmizzy3000]

With all due respect, I think that you may have been meaning to say “no click track”, as opposed to “no clap track”. This record, in common with almost all “commercial” pop/rock records made at that time, were nothing BUT click tracks, drum machines, lots of other electronic stuff, synthesizers/sequencers, lots of programming of drum machines, and all synchronized together by a Central time source courtesy of a musical technology called MIDI which enabled EVERYTHING to “talk” to each other, and through that, the whole thing was done to a click, drum machines, etc. There would also be a human drummer being recorded, playing along to all of that with a real drum kit to all of the sequenced stuff, and then they’re blended together for the record. Real live guitars played by the human guitar player were recorded to tape, and synchronized with everything else, along with electronically sequenced keyboards (using MIDI), some keyboard parts being played live in the studio, and, of course, all of the vocals recorded in the studio. Again, all due respect, it’s a great band and they made a great record, and it has its organic qualities, and especially because they wrote some good songs. But they definitely used tons and tons of modern cutting edge technology with lots of drum machines and click tracks and you name it , but the fact that you (and me) really love the song proves that it doesn’t matter how a record is made if the music moves you!

[@emeraldstream]

This directly taps you into the 80s. I didn't hear this song back then but feel the 80s vibe permeating....what a relief...so lucky to be an 80s child...

[@MrVeesworld]

I have been looking for this song for years. I remember hearing at the local watering hole after work on a video jukebox and it always mesmorized me. It is such a cool and unique song with a great/clever sentiment. Bring back 1987 please, please, please!!

[@bashercp]

Man, I miss the 80's .This was one of so many great songs Thanks!

[@shapez73]

This is one of those 80s tunes that makes me feel like I'm 5-6 years old again. Playing in some kinda restaurant or department store shopping with my mom or driving to Toronto with my dad. Times were just simpler back then and the music just added a comforting backdrop

[@CrimsonCatacombs]

I was a little kid when this song came out. It was always one of my absolute favourite songs and videos. I spent many years trying to figure out who sang it and nobody knew what I was talking about. The day I found out who sang this song and was able to download it [early 2000's ] I listened to it on replay for at least twelve hours. No joke.

I have this album. The music was fantastic! Yet another great band that got ignored by the mainstream music world. I used to hang in the indie record stores in college towns all the time when I was a teen. That's how I got into a lot of the cult bands of the 80's, like Eight Seconds, Glass Tiger and Icehouse. My generation had THE best music! There has been nothing that remotely touches it since. :'(

I was a high school junior when this song hit. Around November 1986 in my neck of the woods. Great background soundtrack to my life at that point - especially my first kiss (late bloomer) with a cute girl on the 50 yard line of our high school football field, at night, nobody else around (that I know of), in a cold downpour. The '80s did not suck for music, nor for the memories.
