FIRST TIME HEARING THOMPSON TWINS - "Hold Me Now" | REACTION

[@hehaws]

human league are 100% british, from a city called Sheffield

[@itchyandred4131]

I always loved this group.......80's personafied ✌️

[@terrellinc22]

"What Have I Done To Deserve This" Song by Dusty Springfield and Pet Shop Boys is really cool, Go West "king of wishful thinking" Howard Jones Songs, "no one is to blame" "things can only get better". Erasure, "Chains of Love" and Breathe "Hands to heaven" B-52's "love shack" is kinda fun.

[@althepal530]

Excellent list of songs and groups. 👍🏼

[@terrellinc22]

@@althepal530 Thank you.

[@NikkieTwix]

This song is so freaking good, it’s timeless

[@greetribe3651]

Human league are British, the lead singer Philip oakey had a hit single with Giorgio moroder in 1984 called together in electric dream. Giorgio moroder composed Donna summer I feel love

[@JonzStoneroadAvalon808]

Giorgio Moroder did Midnight Express which he won an Oscar.

[@kateelizabeth5130]

This song is so freaking underrated. Especially in my generation 😂 born 2002. None of my friends know this song and when I’ve shown it to them they do NOT appreciate it enough😂😭

[@MilosDaddy]

Their best LP in my opinion is "Quick Step and Side KICK" from 1983. "Love On Your Side" and"Lies" were played to death at that time.Human League were also Brits.Their LP "Dare" came out about the same time as this. I was stationed in Scotland at the time, so I got to hear it before they started playing it here in the states.

[@travelling69mike]

I have loved the Thompson twins since I was a young boy and saw them in concert in 1984 and 1985 and met the lead singer in 2017 backstage at a concert.

[@NoCanDu]

Everyone I knew, including me, had this album! Into The Gap!

[@rockwhk]

I know this song is very popular in united states even for the actual generations. My nephews who were born in seattle are 12 years old and know this song, they loooooove it. When i asked how do they know eightees rock music they say: because we often listen to these songs on the radio 😅

[@tinoliera9480]

80s everywhere!

[@cruisingfanatic]

This this a great track... I play this loads every other day... great band and sound .... cool reaction

[@patrickw123]

Fun reaction! I didn’t like this song when it first came out and I heard it on the radio as a kid. But they played it so often I eventually called Uncle and ended up loving it! I bought the album, loved it, then joined their official fan club! Still the only musical artist fan club I’ve ever joined.

[@mikekaraoke]

Human League were British mate lol They were on many TV interviews in US/Canada over the years etc Also one of the members Joe grew up in my part of Kent in Dartford, as I'm right between Dartford/Bexleyheath 😁 And only down the road were Mick Jagger/Keith Richards from Rolling Stones, Roger Moore, Kate Bush, Billy Idol....etc I did reply back to your DM on Discord but not heard back yet. Also won't let me comment on Arc Vision Rock Reactions yet!

[@jasonkraley]

ah, great song from my youth.. what's fascinating is what happened to them: their last album "Queer" became shockingly unique & my favorite album from them.. if anyone is curious just how different & unique that album is, i'd recommend checking out the songs "Queer" & "The Invisible Man".. the 3rd guy left the group, only later to realize they changed their name & explored VERY different styles of music... thanks for your reaction!

[@anthonyjames4648]

Omg i love The Thompson Twins! ❤❤

[@stevehulse4005]

I agree with your analysis on this Anton, and the album it is taken off “Into the Gap” is full of other classics such as Doctor! Doctor!, You Take Me Up, Sister of Mercy and The Gap which were all released from it during 83/84.

[@hotmail305]

the 80s were a special special time for music prob the most important in pop history culture

[@katethomas5712]

Ah, the gorgeous Tom Bailey. He's still in music and lives in France. Alannah is a furniture upcycler, after she and Tom divorced she married the bloke from the KLF(not known in the US I don't think) and Joe, is a psychotherapist in the US(one of his videos came up randomly on here one day)

[@trevorsinclair3425]

Gorgeous Man with a Gorgeous Smile! Just saying...❤

[@donnazasgoat2274]

Someone left a copy of Thompson Twins Greatest Mixes at my apt and I hadn't heard their songs in a bazillion years. Of course I played it and after a bunch of listens fell in love! So did my teenage son and we both still love it. The mixes are even better than the originals. Hold me now was one of them. 💜

[@1WillowMoon]

I was a teen when this came out .still grips me now. I Miss the 80's so bad ❤️❤️

[@butchbrewer4923]

Epic lyrics

[@AcdallasAndy]

I love the Thompson Twins! Great 80s group. They had success with several songs including this one in the mid 80, but then the group fell apart after that if I remember correctly.

[@jaquettajones]

IN THE NAME OF LOVE by Thompson Twins is a Vibe AND a Groove!! DEF react to IT!

[@STYXFRKS]

Was not my type of music , but really liked this song.

[@edwardcovey1652]

Loved it!!

[@thomashernandez8700]

They also did, "The Look of Love". Maybe THAT was what you heard on the radio?

[@hotflesh66]

If you like the Thompson Twins you must listen to their other top hits: Lay Your Hands on Me and Doctor! Doctor!

[@2WarriorJay8]

this song deserves everything and more

[@althepal530]

The Thompson Twins were part of the 2nd British Invasion in the 80’s. The first British Invasion of course was the 1960’s.

[@wendyt7958]

Fantastic song....You need to check out Iron Butterfly...great band from the 60's. Listen "The Time Of Our Lives" and "Soul Experience" So cool

[@user-hs5hc7wk5j]

Bro this song is awesome

[@kilgh]

The female singer there is from Auckland, New Zealand. I believe I remember you saying you had visited NZ?

[@kevcall]

They've got a few great songs that would be worth reacting to at some point

[@cheyenneburgess9717]

You should change it up and react to Beyonce’s Oscar performance.

[@myrtistaylor5759]

The 1980s was the British invasion of pop music

[@richardworonowicz9076]

Human League were British

[@allenm4947]

How is this your first fuckin time? Do you ever listen to the radio?

[@antonreacts]

No I don't listen to the radio. I am a metalhead, I hated the radio growing up.

[@7.i.F.3]

You probably heard the wayne wonder version from the 2000s for 50 first dates
