Midge Ure (Ultravox) - If I was (Full Version, stereo)

[@redjohn201]

Midge is a massively underrated musician with an incredible voice.

[@Ulysses1962LD]

I do agree with your statement

[@fulviagabrovez9289]

Agree with you!

[@captpicard6894]

1986 I was 19, I’d been dating the prettiest girl from my school for 4 years. Remember this playing in Playa de Las Americas in a club in Tenerife, when we were on holiday. Still one of my happiest memories.

[@reneechristopher2121]

Absolutely romantic. A great musician who has been underrated.

[@jagjitsingh630]

Still here in 2020. Oh the memories of Midge and Ultravox Vienna, if i was back able to go back to the 80s. Nostalgia❤️

[@demtruths2316]

He's lipsyncing here but saw him perform at a small local venue earlier this year. He was self-deprecating about his voice but it sounded very close to the recordings 40 years ago. Magical.

[@micheleharper34]

TO ALL THAT AGREE WITH ME MANY MANY THANKS. UNFORTUNATLY AS LONG AS MIDGE IS ABLE TO DO SMALLER GIGS I'D BE PREPAIRED TO TAKE A CHANCE TO SEE HIM AGAIN, POSSIBILITY MAY GET A PASS. DAUGHTER STOPPED DRIVING TO LOOK AFTER ME. SHE WAS ONLY 4YRS OLD @TIME. MIDGE PICKED HER UP & SAID CAN I HAVE LICK OF YOUR ICE CREAM. I SAID YES SURE & BLESS HIM, HE DID. BUT I WISH I COULD SEE HIM AGAIN

YEEEEEESSSSSSSS

Gentleman 👍

[@michaelhyde9070]

I remember actually watching this on Totp in late 85, hearing the host say November just makes me wanna say Hay please don't rush though this amazing year or the 80s itself coz your never get it back. Happy days. 85 was an excellent year for music. In 2 years time this song will be 40 years old. Mad Hay. Never forgotten the 80s, I'm still there in spirit.

Masterpiece 💯 Buenos recuerdos en Barranco - Lima 🇵🇪

We were very fortunate to have experienced this music. This will never happen again, ever. You know what I'm talking about.

[@johnlees6019]

Superb midge ure and the gift tour was great saw him at man Chester apollo all them years ago 😅

[@nmarks]

I absolutely loved this song when it came in 1985. I was in the fifth form in school at the time out but couldn't find a single other person who was struck by it. Looking at the comments here I'm glad to know I wasn't alone.

[@llll309]

fact gasm my favourite from 1985 too I was 10

[@World-Superbike]

It ( .. and most of Midge's work.. ) is beautiful musical mastery. All the best for 2020! Eddie.

[@aliwaynz1339]

I always remember cruising around on holiday in Suffolk in England in my cousins Alfa Sud and hearing this for the first time. I still have the mix tape I made on that holiday in 1985!

[@marknewton3765]

This is a subject that raises eyebrows, because we don't want some unknown person ruining this, with stupid rap lyrics, and taking all the credit for this song...

[@jamesfagan7823]

Always loved this song from the moment I herd it and I still love it today regards James Londondale

[@Phaedrax2]

This takes me back to 1986 when having bought a run down house, we were living in a building site for about 3 months, music like this got us through it. :-)

This is such a good song. They should play it some time....they never do. Great cheekbones by the way😍

[@Jessieheels77]

I would kill for those cheekbones! Also, "If I was a painter, I'd paint a world that wouldn't taint her.". The most beautiful, romantic lyric I've ever heard ❤️

[@thejimmy6533]

Love Midge and I've loved this song since the first time I heard it in '85. Haven't seen this video in forever, but after watching it again I can see where Rick Astley got his dance moves. :-D

Along with Vienna , probably cemented his voice as in the best of the eighties , add U2 , Duran duran ABC , Kim wilde etc etc etc and you can see musical genius.

For my lovely mother❤ Si j'étais un homme meilleur If I was a better man Est-ce que mes semblables me prendraient dans leur cœur Would fellow men take me to their hearts Si j'étais un homme plus fort If I was a stronger man Porter le poids de la demande populaire Carrying the weight of popular demand Dis-moi est-ce que ça l'alarmerait Tell me would that alarm her Je ne lui ferais jamais de mal I'd never harm her at all Si j'étais un soldat If I was a soldier Bras captifs que je poserais devant elle Captive arms I'd lay before her Si j'étais marin If I was a sailor Sept océans je naviguerais vers elle Seven oceans I'd sail to her Si j'étais un homme plus sage If I was a wiser man Est-ce que d'autres hommes tendraient la main et me toucheraient Would other men reach out and touch me Si j'étais un homme plus gentil If I was a kinder man Servir de l'amour pour un monde affamé Dishing up love for a hungry world Dis-moi est-ce que ça l'apaiserait Tell me would that appease her je veux encore lui faire plaisir I want to please her again Si j'étais peintre If I was a painter Je peindrais un monde qui ne pourrait pas la souiller I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her Si j'étais un chef If I was a leader De la nourriture de l'amour d'en haut je la nourrirais On food of love from above I would feed her Si j'étais poète If I was a poet Tout mon amour et mes mots brûlants je le montrerais All my love and burning words I would show it Si j'étais son amant If I was her lover Je couvrirais ses yeux de baisers Her eyes in kisses I would cover Viens ici mon bébé Come here my baby Oh ils ne peuvent pas te toucher maintenant Oh they can't touch you now Je te garderai en sécurité et au chaud I'll keep you safe and warm Je ne te quitterai jamais du tout I'll never leave you at all Viens ici mon bébé Come here my baby Oh ils ne te toucheront pas Oh they won't touch you Servir de l'amour pour un monde affamé Dishing up love for a hungry world Dis-moi est-ce que ça t'apaiserait Tell me would that appease you.....
