LYRICS
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face (let me hear you)
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace (c'mon)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
I made a pilgrimage to save this human race
Never comprehending the race has long gone by (c'mon)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I've seen some changes
But it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you, yeah
The future's open wide
Let's sing along
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
(Woah woah woah woah woah)
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah (pathetic, absolutely pathetic)
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you

Let's just say the truth...this was one of the best songs of the 80's, maybe even all time.

[@andrewsquire9892]

Yeah, when I ask myself what my favorite song was this one rises among my top 3, and I can't decide. Unquestionably iconic.

[@rhondablackburn6841]

Absolutely my favorite song ever!! I listen to it daily,, I hear it and I’m in high school all over again, crazy in love, living life to the fullest , well more than I should at least,, just a wonderful time, and wonderful song,, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for creating a song that always gives us hope!!!

Back in the late 80's 2 buddies of mine were at a local bar and there was this band upstairs performing this song. The band came down to the bar after the set was over and my one friend said to one of the band members "You guys sound a lot like the band that actually released that song." Response from one of the band members :" We are the band who released that song". Jaws dropped shortly thereafter....

I worked almost 13 hours yesterday. And it's 1:30 a.m. So maybe I'm just tired and raw, but I had an unexpectedly strong emotional reaction listening this. An overwhelming feeling of simultaneous happiness and sadness that was hard to take and yet I didn't want to end. Very strange. And while I always liked the song, it was never something deep and personal to me. Until now.

[@blautens]

What you said.

[@Exit39gmail]

I hope all of the members of Modern English read these comments. I was working in a record/CD store in the mid-80's. What a great time; the music, the genre, the generation, the self-expression ... the hair! One of my favorite songs was/is Someone's Calling and back then I'd blast it throughout the store at closing time. I Melt With You though, man ... this song in particular truly defined an era for many, and myself. I met my soulmate while this song was playing, no joke. She was working at a teen-club back in 1986 and on break. Absolutely stunning, sitting with her cigarette and drink (non-alcoholic), my friend told me to go introduce myself. Feeling like she was way out of my league, I nervously did. I believe that was fate. We dated for just over a year; some of the best times of my life. An unfortunate event separated us and we went on to marry other people. I knew I was lost without her. I knew I married the wrong woman after. But 20 years later at the end of 2006 I found her again. Both of us had recently divorced and I had a son, and she had a son and daughter. Nevertheless, we held on to each other through all of the triumphs and struggle, and we continue to do so because we would never let another thing come between us. We married in 2011. I am a blessed man to have reconnected with a love so true. To quote Rod Stewart, "You're in my heart, you're in my soul ..." But every now and then, I Melt With You will play and we will hold each other like the first night we met and danced together. It is OUR song and I cannot thank Modern English enough for such a staple in my life. You guys still rock!

What do you think Beethoven and Mozart would think of this song, which alternates between the I and IV for almost the whole song? They would not consider this "real music." But the good news is it doesn't matter. If a song speaks to somebody and brings them joy, it's real music. Why do you need to trample on what someone else likes? What is it hurting you if kids like something different? I seriously do not get this. You rag on today's youngsters, but you're the one acting like a child.

It's almost too slick, though. Maybe an unplugged version would have been cooler.

[@Jeremy-ob4gm]

You're insane

[@sharinglungs3226]

You must really hate the original. This is very flat. You can tell an old man is singing and he just doesn’t have the range anymore.

[@norbertoaquinoiii6970]

My world stop when I'm with my wife of 22 years...My heart melts.. Still listening and will always love this song...

[@pensnut08]

I'm an avowed metalhead, but this song is absolutely incredible!! It was then and still is and always will be!!

[@georgedoolittle7574]

This actually seems like a punk rock beat to me but with an otherworldly uplifting love ballad as the message. Can't imagine not understanding why this was so infectious back in the day still being so today. "We were artists never dreaming we would do anything popular" only goes to show when your speaking from the heart to the heart us humans are always listening.

[@villageidiot9867]

Same here, yet I consider this my all time favorite song.

[@amandav42]

You will probably never see this but I remember the first time I ever heard this, or ever saw this video, I was very young...but it has always be one of my favorite songs...and later on.... from the moment that I met the man (well, boy then) of my dreams ..it was one of two songs we agreed on that we loved (we're talking high school when we met)... I just wish that we had played this at our wedding 28 years ago...but, we didn't get to. However, when you guys did this rendition well, it did something even more....we finally had the chance to truly dance with one of our most favorite songs...albeit, neither of us are great dancers...(I'm better but that's besides the point)....I'm glad that you all brought this back. Seeing you all, and all you did in those (these) times...it made hearts warm again. So, enough babbling... thank you. Thank you.

[@Tacktickle]

Love how the dog is blissed out too listening to this amazing song. Ranked #2 in my all-time favorite songs.

[@tobin7969]

Sometimes it feels like you were born at just the right time....

[@eligebrown8998]

I agree

[@laquerisma]

We were.

[@eligebrown8998]

1974. 80's kid here.

[@malepartd]

One of my favorite 80's song. Still listen to it to this day.

[@johnness2457]

Mahalo. I've been in love with this song since it first came out. I'm 64. Oh the memories are fantastic.. the dislikes are just jealous

[@KydenBufect]

Wow that's Robbie Grey! I read a long time ago that he was done with Modern English and would never play with them again, so happy I stumbled on this video quite by accident! One of my favorite songs of the 80s.

[@lewisdsd]

Everyone here is like… “ah, this reminds me of so many things in the 80s…” Well, i’m 21 and already this reminds me of so many things in the 2010s… 80s music have come across so many generations!!

[@tyraonortham6545]

You're very wise for your age😊

Kata List Productions I agree! On Robert Palmer, well, I do know him and his music, but I am really more into post-punk 😅

[@deirdremorris9234]

True!!! I listen to music way before my time and am moved.

[@MJ-dq8ik]

Good music is good music - no matter what decade it is from

[@teresasmith3468]

Amazing. Just saw them on Jimmy Fallon. Still got it.

[@u2girl1966]

They played at Chicago House of Blues w/The Alarm in 2019. They ended their set with this and had the entire house on their feet. Fucking amazing.

[@thefriendlyranger5718]

No matter how many times I've listened to this song since the '80s, it always makes me feel good. Cheers!

[@jonathanniccolls1592]

That was 41 years ago. Now, looking back, I've lost both my parents, contracted HIV (and I'm still here!), l was diagnosed with diabetes, I have fought and beat two types of cancers, and I am currently in rehab over having my right leg amputated, last year. I look back. So many of the people that were part of my fast times, are gone. It's so nice to reminisce, seeing those from that fun era that are still here, bringing back memories of better times. Thanks.

[@Boelick]

For me, the defining song of the 80’s, it’s one of the few songs that when I hear it I will stop what I’m doing just so I can listen.

[@rickuest1512]

It rocked back in the day and it still rocks to this day. It's one of those songs that just lives on and on and on and always has the same good feel thing about it.

[@dmears7782]

The only good thing about the pandemic was these lockdown videos from beloved artists.

[@MaraKatria]

Mick and Skipper, Gary feeding the ducks, Robbie reading Kubrick, Steve's vinyl collection, Daniel positively rocking, Roy working out! FABULOUS

[@centralscrutinizer66]

Is this the original line up?

[@joefera8947]

4 of the 5 original guys, plus 2 others.

[@Mo_Ketchups]

No way that corpulent face-tatted choad trying to seduce the camera was in the original band. Right?

[@lukasw689]

@@Mo_Ketchups just looked it up and somehow yes, he was their original guitarist

[@rallypoint1]

In the early 90’s KROQ in Los Angeles played the top ten Modern English songs...they played this song 10 times in a row. Real story!!!😂

[@tom080955]

Probably one of the most epic songs from my youth! This is a great concept …hoping other bands get the hint that their music is still going strong!

[@bobosputnik]

My 80's heart broke when Burger King use this song for a commercial about a Whopper with Cheese. Haven't been able to listen to it...until today. Well done, lads.

[@ericsimmons7511]

Mmmm-mmm-mmm (melted cheese dripping over a beef patty)...

[@Themarijuanamechanic]

Well how do you think musicians make money. I bet that commercial set them up for a lil while

[@bobosputnik]

@@Themarijuanamechanic Not blaming them for making money. But such a cheesy-ass use of the song. Lowest common denominator. "The lyrics say MELT" so let's use it. So bad.

[@devinthierault]

Lol and The Cars makes me think of Taco Bell now

[@chugchugpickles2112]

Yeah you did

[@skeeter197140]

I was young when this came out. And for some reason this song was on my internal nostalgia soundtrack, if you follow me. Every time I heard this, it took me back to summer time, being that kid again. Falling in love with every girl that talked to me, and getting my heart broken every other day. So, thank you, guys. From an old man who needed that little trip down memory lane.

[@saraperalta1043]

What great memories You are the best gays thank you for made our lives unforgettable. XOXO .
