Level 42 - Heaven in My Hands Official Video

[@oobenoob]

There was a time when it was normal to have immensely talented musicians such as Level 42 in the charts. Unthinkable these days.

[@DIMP11]

Now we have clowns the likes of Morgan Wallen, Lil Baby, Jelly Roll, Da Baby, Cardi B, Future, Post Malone, Lil Yachty, lil Pump, 6ix9ine, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat and SZA. Fools covered in tattoos…

[@Guido_XL]

@@DIMP11 Almost none of them rings a bell with me. Is that good or bad? Anyway, I'm pushing 60 and still love these songs from the 1980's, especially this one. When I turn on the radio, all I hear is garbage noise, produced by garbage "musicians", the names of which I don't even try to remember. So, I stick to names I do remember.

[@jaapbaart8690]

I do not know anyone of them....😅

[@theredmen1093]

It's called "minimalist approach" these days. More 👍 (likes) the better! 😏😏😏

[@mariajukejax9649]

It was a regular thing. What a great time it was. Every album had lots of hits on it. Never happening again.

[@tommasoromito2978]

rip Alan Murphy legend never dies

[@michelvanderfeesten8935]

2024 anyone? This song still gives me soooo much energy. Banger!

[@NeRo-zd1fv]

Yes Sir!

[@andymacgregor809]

Just got my tickets for the World Machine 40th anniversary tour - cant beat a bit of Level 42

[@blaster3861]

I have this album on vinyl and I love it....btw I'm 48

[@chrisdavidson911]

Can never understand how this never gets any radio time

[@harrier5154]

I often wonder what would have happened to level 42 if Alan Murphy hadn't passed, this was a good line up .

[@sarahcarter9061]

Likewise if Boon Gould was still in the line up.

[@DreFromMaine8472]

Love this one, it's one of the absolute best songs Level 42 ever did!

[@bassthumper7331]

Lying Still

[@JohnJohnson-tw8qk]

Love Level 42 and this is my personal favourite song and one of my all time favorite groups

[@AlexW14]

True perfection. There’s a song which is the perfect blend of rock and funk. One of the very best tracks of the 80s. Level 42 at their absolute peak.

[@Millipede-bh6zh]

i agree 110 % :)))

[@Guido_XL]

This is their song that I remembered best from the 1980s. It's what makes me love their music, even after so many years now. People grow old, but the soul remains young, if permitted.

[@thorsvensson8172]

True.

[@bobsurface908]

I saw them in Oxford a couple of days ago. Mark's playing is - if anything - even better now. His vocals are a bit ropey at times on long notes but they were amazing.

[@nouveauj.9388]

Absolute fact. Totally agree.

[@abacadaniel04]

What a great band, rest in peace Boon Gould and Alan Murphy. ✌️😙

[@jackburtonstwin]

1980s... when you could introduce a brass section into your pop song because the band had the talent and balls not to be blown away by it. True wall of sound music.

[@marcinzmuda6884]

Alan was perfect guitarist for Level 42. R.I.P.

[@laxwanna1976]

Whos still here in 2024

[@thepeoplefightback2852]

Dam right. I been listening to this band for 35 years lol.

Me and absolutely love it.❤❤

[@simonbute6706]

Love this 😊

[@Tanya-mw8ru]

Has anyone els😊e ever noticed that they all had & STILL have the most happy genuine smiles of any musicians out there? Thats one of the reasons i go back to these old vids. Having a bad day? Watch sum Level 42 . I wish they'd come to Canada 🇨🇦

[@AdrianWaitemusic]

YES!! I WOULD GO IN A HEARTBEAT!!🥹🥹🥹

[@tomwaddle8125]

Once I got into their back-catalogue I realized exactly how underrated they were. I know they still play live with most of the original members.

[@mandyedavis7978]

one of my favourite Level 42 songs!

[@amandaleaskrescuemiracles1454]

Brings back memories of the Edinburgh playhouse & wow Alan Murphy on geeetar ❤️

[@Ryan_Tiziano]

Another one of their top 10 hits in The Netherlands. What a track! #4 1988

[@Avw553]

Super group at it's best . Kudos to a timeless piece ...

[@perryphillips8836]

Level 42 SMASHING IT !!!!!!! [ R.I.P. Boon Gould and Alan Murphy ]

[@benharbeben4336]

My fave song when i was senior high school very long ago...😊

[@80srenaissance67]

Underated track from a largely underated band

[@nostreamavailable9090]

One of the greatest bands to come out of the uk irrespective of genre Greatness transcends labelling by genre

[@kolbola]

It's a Level 42 guitarist song. Boon Gould wrote the chorus melody, Alan Murphy played its famous solo. (And - as far as I know - either Dominic Miller played the verse rhythm guitar line, or Mark King played it up during the mixing)

[@davecoalwood9487]

Have You heard Mark's 84 Solo Album Mate? Side 1 called The Essential is one long instrumental with Him pretty much playing all instruments other than the horns. He's an incredible talent.

[@kidwaryodproduction]

One of their best songs ever. Mark and Mike trading lead vocal was very effective. And I'm always a fan of Alan Murphy guitar (Go West, Total Contrast) He unleashed all power that he have in this album. (In this music video, You can sensed that He acting and playing like he know it's his last years, Because after this album, He passed away)

[@mariajukejax9649]

I love this song. It's their best out of an excellent lot. And that's saying something.

[@jeffwinkowski5393]

This song makes me feel like I can be an Olympic champion!!

[@gallavichlove808]

Another awesome song from the band. Mark king bass playing is impressive to watch though the guitarist playing the solo. Darn good. Good video.👍

[@GrahamMcQueen]

A Breath of Fresh Air. Mark King is Ace…

[@hovadopekelne]

absolutely brilliant music

[@zagortenay114]

[@Timolucas]

If this song doesn't give you energy, I don't know what will

[@chasam1234]

Great guitar work ..

[@MrSilver261]

like all level 42 songs a true classic!

[@EuanElliott]

Alan Murphy knew he was dying at this point. Apparently he took the test in Ireland and it was positive. His skill as a guitarist is obvious, but his bravery and dignity are remarkable. God rest his soul, and best wishes to anyone living with HIV today.

[@redeyeshadowkitten]

This is my first favorite song since the 80s :)

[@rokit430]

Best Dance choreography song Ever. So many Directions...Strength and Beauty indeed!!😂

Brillant band.

[@djbrianuk]

Until very recently it was blocked by the copyright holder and didn't show up.

[@damianapastore5002]

❤🎉

[@AdrianWaitemusic]

This was a little different track for these guys. Very guitar driven songs werent their thing, but the addition of Alan Murphy mustve been the key. Good track!

[@teleaddict23]

How can this only have 2 likes someone since 2011??

[@djbrianuk]

Until very recently this was blocked from public view on copyright grounds.

[@MegaForged]

@@djbrianuk and will it be available from now without problems?

[@djbrianuk]

@@MegaForged That isn't up to me. If the copyright owners claim it, they can either monetize it or have it taken down. I have no rights here.

Alan Murphy died about a year later.

[@bassthumper7331]

UMMM? is that UB40?

[@jingle1161]

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always been a big fan but this video clip is pretty lame and clueless compared to the lyrics.

[@CADZIO]

Mistrzowska kompozycja i wykonanie ultra, ale teledysk kompletnie do dupy, nieprzemyślany, bez sensu.

[@kaem3]

Translation: music is masterpiece, but video is shit and no sense.

[@Gil60Four]

The intro makes me wanna stick my chest out & when the rest kicks in I just wanna run all over the place like those free running guys, leaping from building to building like I'm being chased. THIS IS EPIC 🏃🏃🏃Thataway ➡↗🏚➡🏢↘🌊🤦‍♂🚣🏊‍♀
