Howard Jones "What is Love"

[@Tom-V]

Best decade for music.

[@johnwilliam2474]

yep

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

Yes?!

[@flippinthemadstyles]

I'm continually amazed at the sheer number of great vocal tracks from the 80's!!! There has never been another era like this where so many hit songs were packed so tightly together in just a few years. I really hope the world gets to witness another era like this!

[@Perle3456]

I grew up with this song and took it for granted as in the 80's we were used listening to quality music as opposed to these days...sooo damn incredible beautiful...it hurts..

[@stefannickel6031]

40 Years and so good as the first Day. Brilliant, never boring. Good old 80s

[@TomasSolver]

Thank you Howard! Its many years ago you ware a part of my life. I was 14 and the life was to start. You where a big part of my life then. I Thank you with all of my hart! 🥰❤❤

[@robb5681]

i agree with keeping the 70s and 80s alive FOREVER AND EVER SO GOOD TIMES

[@dollaz4647]

For you but not for some people, it was fun but I have to admit those times were very dark

[@wjamin7259]

Yeah, the same to me

[@valericardi]

We must keep 80s alive for ever

[@mikeluvrs]

Two great tv shows takes place in the 80's. The Goldbergs and Stranger Things. I love them just because of the 80's.

[@80sDECADEshouldNEVERLEFT]

AWOMON 😀😀

[@dizzykaren]

I am so very glad I was in my late teens at this time, it was an amazing era with the best music ever. I am pleased to say now I am in my 50's I live in the past because it's never been bettered. Level 42, Human League, Depeche Mode, Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones and so many other epic bands. Love em forever.

[@andrewo5296]

Luuuuuuuucky. Depeche mode forever

[@richardthered]

No speed cameras, no internet, no mobile phone, no stress. Take me back to the 80s any day.

[@johnmc3862]

Rampant a buse unfortunately.

[@jeromesmith9871]

Howard Jones is one of the quinnessential, albeit, least known artists of the 80's. His music is powerful, positive, and poetic, and his integrity as a musician radiates forth!

[@tracylondon5651]

This song was on the NOW 2 LP I bought on my first trip to UK in '84.......great memories :)

[@MrVeesworld]

I had it on my Sony Walkman while in Europe for the first time (Amsterdam and London) back in 1985. I swear there were so many fantastic songs coming out and this was one of them.

[@MitchelGant]

lol. I had Now 3 on double cassette.

[@snowbelle74]

Now 2 was brilliant!

I hear you brother. As a person who was obsessed with music in the 80's, I find it unbelievable that today's music can even be recorded must less sold!!!

[@bradhill1099]

Great song...Howard Jones was very talented....

[@tomjetblade6411]

+Brad Hill i could agree with this song for many years, untill i found my right girl, and i still can agree with this song, because it goes to all the ones who didn't find their right partner yet, so this song will always be nessesary, and that can only be done by pleasant work of great sensitive talents like Howard Jones.

[@sandrafaith]

He still is!

[@Maxxxshop]

I would give 50 years of my life to go back in time and live in the 80's for only one day!

[@pufdadie]

another great moment from the 80s! roll on.the 80s are back

[@Einnor084]

Howard Jonez & Level 42 Under-rated.... MONUMENTALLY TALENTED!

[@robertbrunelle8076]

loving this on street

[@siudogs]

A most underrated artist.

[@scrabdusanproductions2104]

Well operation ivy and then him.

[@DJS3]

Sounds legit! 👍

[@hottestbabe1000]

What a young girl i was,nearly 42 but goes to show these songs and era will never fade, best times EVER.

[@AndieBlack13]

You still look hot girl! With that devil may care smile there on your avatar!

[@hottestbabe1000]

Glad you think so.

[@grahamsmith7054]

This song Reminds me of early Pub Drinking years when i was 19 years old.

[@kaori1478]

天才…！天才だよこの人～～～ なんでこんなの作れるんだよ…

[@CaroleUCoope]

I remember playing this on an enormous portable tape recorder on the passenger seat of my car, because it (the car) was an early 70's Wolsely and only had a radio. I used to play it while driving over the hills between Manchester and Sheffield where I spent alot of time in the mid 80's. Great times.....

[@RICREYNOLDSMUSIC]

Howard knew what he was talking about on this one. Dedicated to all the musicians in the world. So many dates, nobody to love.

[@INNO222]

Those lyrics are so true today. Boy what would I do to go back to them days.

[@charliesoukhaseum9890]

Modern Renaissance of music

[@wally1166]

Long live the 80s Great music

[@aarnoalikoski1755]

Good memories. The chorus is brilliant.

[@ducksnhell]

Great song, great songwriter

[@badslick]

One of the influences of the 80's.

[@bitley]

The defining track for me to get into synthesizers. I still nod my head to this. Lovely.

[@mrsanakin1617]

crushed always on howard back in the day

[@insas223]

Man,the 80s were something else for those who like me were kids back then.We actually used to build a collection of tapes,later CDs,save up for them,exchange them with friends of just listen to them together.Now its takes a click to download,transfer and delete music.Yes,that has advantages too,but still i yearn for those days,when you actually had to meet people to see them and stay in touch.

[@ShikiraPressley]

Yes I do love and wish that I didn't. Fantastic vintage number - still fresh and brilliant as it was in 1983.

[@cattybound2011]

***** I see what you mean. Sometimes the connotations of the terms change, though. Some define "classic" and "vintage" the same. Plus, with the idea that a "generation" lasts about 25-30 years, it seems we're now in a generation that thinks that 10 years ago was ancient history! :-)

He's got a point here. I never thought about the meaning of the lyrics until I really listened to what he was saying (now, as an adult). I was particularly struck by the line "And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be..."

[@simonjames3209]

Loved this song back in the 80's

[@ayensdreamer541]

great song/ video

[@maddorg9]

i am 40 and everytime i hear this song it brings back my childhood memories,going by other comments,happy not to know only one.

[@milesharbord9339]

I loved this song back in the day, and it's still a great song, this video has a great concept. Wish the execution had of met the concept. Still like this though, I'm just a sucker for the good old days. :)

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

Brings back memories as an 11 year old back then.

[@cloroxbleach8602]

From 1970s to 1990s was a good time period for music, sadly 2000s went downhill. In fact all of society back than were much better than today's shit.

[@ricardorangel7301]

to you.. You aren't looking in the right places mate.

[@overwatch1828]

Blatantly obvious if anyone cares to remember... Unfortunately it will only get worse if we remain silent...

[@myawesomhubby]

I miss 80's music there is nothing like it today. I am so glad for youtube and the internet radio stations that have 80's channels.

[@Netmark52]

Hey Howard - I`m your age. Followed you when I was a kid. I live just 6 miles from where you used to to live in Princes Risborough. Your music lives.

[@theacousticep]

This is so 80's I can't even

[@uneedtherapy42]

Amazing to this day...

[@MultiMrMiles]

80s had the most beautifull girls, good styles and music- BEST decade to live in- all an awesome time- new times are full of trash

[@goodmusic8158]

well MrMiles, the 80's did indeed have the best music. Agreed; AMAZING DECADE!

[@MarkMartiak]

I was 23 at the time - and I can still appreciate these lyrics and that sound.

[@monniehamm11]

OMG I wish we could go back to this time! Gorgeous music & message... Special time in life.

Hmm, an 80's song that somehow I missed until now (2015). Interesting.

[@ashleywhiteman2684]

+punishmentforall plenty better out there, i'd never really heard much Thomas Dolby till recently, miles better

[@SusieSynth]

+punishmentforall IKR Im mind blown right now being a music lover and especially 80s music and I as well have never heard this. Weird.

[@5of7james]

+punishmentforall Great song now and back in the day.

[@DM-co3rh]

+punishmentforall It's a shame that you did miss this one during the 80's. One of my favs back then! Surprised you did miss it though, as it got a decent amount of airplay back then :)

[@sunboy2488]

How could you have missed it? It was everywhere and I was sick of it.

[@JunaidRiazAlHassan]

Thirty years have gone by but this type of music will never be ever made...Bet even Howard Jones never knew the impact of his lyrics and music would have on the rock of generations that passed through this kinda music...

[@Pragwo1f]

Graduated in 83, lived through that mass unemployment and the Lawson boom and can say that life in Britain in the before the obsession with financial services and real estate took over and brought lasting damage on the country was indeed infinitely preferable. So much fantastic music like this and as for the rain...you can't be serious!

what is love anyway >??? you love you mom , phone , sibs , car.. house .. it's so a relative term now .. sad

[@pauldesborough6845]

Brilliant songwriter but terrible fashion choices. I don't think Howard had had any mirrors in his home during this period, but by Jove he could knock out a decent tune.

[@hughjoseph2532]

Everybody looked like that in the 80's. Omg, my brother even wore makeup when he played in his band, the Bratz.

[@pauldesborough6845]

Were The Brats any good?

[@hughjoseph2532]

No.

[@divoinblue]

LOL, with you on that Paul.

[@beckybeck3711]

Don't blame him for the Fashion choice...remember this was the beginning of the New Wave & New Romantics movement. They DRESSED like that! Look at Bananarama totally freaky, look at Kajagoogoo & Duran Duran or Dead or Alive: Pete Burns or even Thompson Twins...

[@chrischarnock4244]

quality 80s Howard had his own style..... BRILLIANT

[@bliis]

Great song from such a gentle and talented man. Met him in Perth, WA a few years back - can cross that one off my bucket list. Howard is still working and producing great music , long may he continue to.

[@dylanwrathall3380]

What is love? Think about it for a few moments. The genius of this simple question is obviously lost on those angry young men who purport to be Muslims - stay safe

[@TheUtuber999]

Take your hate somewhere else.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

TheUtuber999, why do you say this is hate? Dylan didn’t say all Muslims, he said the angry ones that claim to be. Dylan might be a Muslim himself for all you know. I’m pretty sure he was trying to point out the hypocrisy of SOME. They say they love By their religion, but kill to please their God, while claiming their religion is loving, This happens in all religions. It’s not hate to point out things one sees as wrong. Don’t jump to conclusions. That’s part of hate as well.

[@loriestoker2253]

One of my favorite singers of the 80's. Awesome messages in every song.

[@rodman3267]

One day when my Time machine is complete, Ill leave this era and go back to the 80s...miss that music!!!

Never forgotten... grew up with this song brings back so many good memories Haha got with my very first girlfriend when this used to be played around the town centre of where I lived ...

[@andrewbarrett8178]

Urbun Spirituk in the 80s the state were against the people. In the 2010s its democracy being attacked.

[@MrVeesworld]

This song defined my late teen years and I am really happy I was there throughout ALL of he 80's as a teen coming of age. Classic times and too much to remember, So thanks 80's for the good, no GREAT times!

[@cri378]

One of the most 'beautiful' songs of the past, I find it wonderful. still gives me joy and hope for the future ... love is the only thing that matters in life .. we must never stop loving .. NEVER!!

[@johnharitason]

What is Love? What a song!! This for me was one of the greatest songs of the 80s. Howard Jones incredible musician and Bill Bryant (wikipedia) extraordinary lyricist. Always felt Howards Jones was slightly underrated. Listen to Howard unplugged on a piano - amazing musician; a far cry from the manufactured music of today.

[@ich24ish]

This Song is underrated ... All are talking about the other Bands, but Howard Jones did also make a such a really good Song !

I've noticed that one often hears people say that the eighties was the best decade for music. You very seldom, if ever hear anyone say that of any other decade, and I have to agree with them! The eighties had brilliant tunes, acts, and there was still a type of 'ínnocent' fun to the music.

[@Seanni68]

beautiful:-) i was 15 years old,it brings back so emotional memories

[@SpectacularSunset]

I find this to be the quintessential song of Howard Jones. It represents everything that I enjoy about his music.
