Howard Jones - Lift Me Up

[@WTHFX]

Brilliant song. I have been a fan of Howards since I was 5 years old.

[@oolongoolong789]

Top notch song from Howard!!!

[@highheartwellness]

I'm not quite sure more people don't know that this is one of the best songs ever made :)

[@providencephelps1497]

Agreed. I’m a runner. Love this on my playlist.

[@nickavenoso7851]

@@providencephelps1497 This whole album (In The Running) is great! One of my favorite Howard Jones albums. I still love that Howard Jones is touring and releasing albums, but I kind of lost interest in his music after this album. There’s some songs on his later albums that I like, but not as much as his earlier albums. This era of his music I listen to the most (1984-1992)

[@mrrig3414]

Yes it was !! I used to listen to it over and over when I got my 1st car back in the early 90's !! So many memories

[@gabrielamespinoza]

Its called being around in that era . 😊

[@zingo2664]

agreed

[@abathens]

This got played enough on Atlanta radio in 1992 that I remember it well.

[@herewegoagain6604]

Video is so innocent and beautifully done. 2020 can take a lesson. I’m currently in the hospital...this song worked.

[@jordanhasch2544]

When you blend Jones' inimitable voice and warm, breezy writing with that big, bold melody and big, slick groove, you get an instant earworm. This song packed a punch back in 1992, and has lost not one iota of groove, power and punch in the ensuing nearly 30 years.

[@ALEJANDRO-b9e]

Be sure Howard that you have always lifted us up and you will keep us that way forever. Top 5 male singers ever

Professor of Rock reminded me of this song and it’s hitting the memory feels just right! 💗

[@coolcat6303]

Unbelievably catchy & right up there with Howard's best songs. It's just a shame it came out, in the 90's, when radio stations were playing hip hop, R&B & grunge music more than Pop music. If it had come out a few yrs earlier, it would've been a much bigger hit.

[@marcspector9188]

I concur :)

[@brianleeper5737]

It reached #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart and I recall it got a decent amount of airplay on the AC stations in the Washington, DC area. (There were NO top 40/CHR stations in the DC market when this song came out).

[@ThrillVermilion]

One of my favourite songs ever - and what a video. This should have done much, much more than it did.

[@itsmylife842]

I agree! Definitely a unique video. It gives the feel of a 1940s-50s jazz club and also some of the old black and white films from that era and before. A great song as well, of course! Both are awesome!

@@itsmylife842 One of the best videos I've ever seen. I like the "throwback" to an era long gone.

[@grapefruitm00n]

1992 was the last hurrah for 80s bands and/or artists from the 80s...by 1993 MTV, mainstream radio, and even fans were treating 80s artists the way Happy Days treated Chuck

[@Trueblood831]

Honestly, this tune couldn't have been better than this ABSOLUTE version. I totally dig the band/s in the b/g and how HJ is superimposed into them. A feel-good song, to say the least, and one of my favorites by Jones. Thank You so much for this posting of a classic Howard Jones gig!

@@JPMcFly1985 That is true, the early 90's was basically an extension of the 80's. Also, I wasn't nitpicking. I know there is good stuff from each era, just sometimes you need to dig a lottle deeper in others to find the good stuff or the diamonds in the rough.

If this had been released at the time of his purple patch of hits in 1984/85, it would have been a hit. But then again it has a early nineties more mellow vibe that would not have fitted the more metallic sound of the synth heavy eighties. I have just contradicted myself. Oh well, never mind.
