Madness - Never Knew Your Name (Official Video)

[@TillH.]

One of the best songs they released ever - I love it!

[@jameshardy483]

my absolute favourite Madness track.....after what 40 years....still being blown away by the authenticity ...poetry....urban love stories....just top...much love to Suggs and crew

[@geoffpeters8643]

One of their best tunes - not a commercial success but a piece of class all the same.

[@dutchafrikaner1204]

I really wonder if this song was based on a real story. I really am the she-person only I didnt find the girl that did not ask my name yet.

[@stephenlyle1156]

totally agree great song

[@piev5060]

oui !!!!

[@RocknRollCEO]

I've loved Madness since their first single. So many profoundly brilliant songs and tunes in the 80's. Never would have believed they'd save (arguably) their best for almost thirty years later.

[@rogerkay8603]

Agreed

[@janedowe8403]

Have to agree. Always loved their stuff - wild and goofy. But this song is so polished without losing their sound. Definitely a new classic!

[@killmoresalmon]

yup

[@affinity4disobedience]

This beautiful masterpiece having only 4 million views is what's wrong with this world! An absolute timeless masterpiece!

[@dfstarborn]

It has 5 million plus views now which is amazing for such and old band as it means they're still relevant today as they continue to attract a new fan base. This is classic Madness though a beautiful tune.. Only got to no. 88 in the charts though.. I think a more expensive imaginative video might have helped the song climb higher but for some reason it didn't do well in the charts. Maybe it didn't get enough air play as I think the BBC only focus on playing bands under 25 year of age now..

[@kelvinfoote9897]

@@dfstarborn Well apart from 6 music and maybe radio 2 very few Radio stations would play it - they abandoned bands just because they've been around for a long time. Pathetic .

[@dfstarborn]

@@kelvinfoote9897 I supposed if they can still get into the top 100 in the charts now it's considered that they're still relevant.

[@CrafterVSWild]

This song brings me tears each time I listen to it since I've been able to understand the lyrics. A simple yet beautiful love story. I'll never thank my father enough for making me discover this group.

[@chrism2922]

Until today, I had never heard this outstandingly powerful tune. It stirs up memories of miniscule moments that still have an emotional impact, that continues, undiminished, despite the decades. It leads one to ask the billion dollar question: What could have been if...?

ბავშვობა მეორდება ამ სიმღერით 🥰 სადღაც შორიდან ვიღაც "მეზობელს" 90ში კასეტა რო ქონდა ჩართული და ჩაგესმოდა ყურში ,გრძნობდი რო ის წლები იმ წამს ყველაზე ბედნიერად გეჩვენებოდა წარსულშიც გაგდებდა და მომავალშიც .ამ სიმღერაზე ოცნებებს ვიწყობდი ,ვფიქრობდი ამა თუ იმ საკითხზე თუ როგორი მომავალი შემექმნა და ნაწილობრივ ავიხდინე. წლების შემდეგ ისევ ვიპოვე ეს სიმღერა და ისევ ვიწყებ ოცნებების ასრულებას . ხოდა ჩემო მეგობრებო თქვენც გისურვებთ იმ ოცნებების ასრულებას ბავშვობაში რო ოცნებობდით ❤️❤️❤️

This song always reminds me of a girl I met one night in the Ritzy in Tottenham. Never asked for her number and have regretted it ever since. We made such a connection that her pals asked if we’d met before. If you ever read this, get in touch. Guys and girls, if you ever experience the same don’t make my mistake.

[@toni4746]

One of the best songs i have heard in my life

[@beateellis5182]

Me too, and not bragging but in my younger days, I met a classy guy, but had so many men after me, I was not a Melania Trump, but had the body and was very sexy, but had to be very careful......

[@beateellis5182]

Me too love.......

[@beateellis5182]

Me too, I had this man that bought me a drink and I could never find him......I would just go out to dance in the 1980's, I just could not get it......but then I met this man, a little older than I, I was 33 or so, when I had to get work done on a vehicle........truth be told he knew all about me.......and I ended up married to him.........my late husband, an awesome man.....

[@dfstarborn]

I was born in 75 in London Paddington and I only got into them a few years before they ended the band. The best band I've ever heard in my life producing 17 top 10 singles full of bursting melodies.. They blew everyone away but should have had more no. 1.s. I think they had around 10 top 10 albums if not more and they have proved that they are still relevant today the mark of a brilliant band.
