Modern English - I Melt With You (Official Video)

[@cliffcardinal2667]

I had a girlfriend since may 1981. This song i sang to her in 1983. That was 37 yrs ago. I was so in love with her, she was 14 and i was 16 when we met at an arcade in Santa Cruz at the boardwalk, 39 yrs ago. We got married in may 1986, had 4 sons and 1 daughter. We now have 10 grandchildren. Every time i play this song it just makes me melt and remember the time i had a girlfriend that was just drop dead gorgeous. She is still so beautiful.

[@bennettfields41]

Cliff, you really know what life is all about, brother. My very best to you and yours. Bravo!

1983! Remember it well. Reagan in the white house, Reaganomics going strong. $1.25 a gallon gasoline super supreme. 80¢ Big Mac, Whopper, Jumbo Jack. $300 a month rent for a 2 bedroom house with all utilities included except the corded dial phone at $6 a month. ET the movie in theaters all over USA. And this mega hit playing out of boom boxes every where. Great time to be alive. Different people, different era, different time, different styles, different values, different music, different country, different world. Never to return again. Glad I lived it.

@@truelies3690 I know I really sound like an old fart, but I came of age (born in 1959) through the late 70s and early 80s. In the 70s I was a rocker at war with disco!! With MTV and new wave, I found a new love in modern, European music. I loved this song! I saw Eurythmics, Berlin, Missing Persons, Psychedelic Furs, Blondie, and a few more. I do think we were lucky. We had enough electronics to have fun but none that would steal our brains and have us staring at our phones all day. I feel so sorry for kids now - we had it better and it seems like the socio-economics of our peers was pretty similar. Forgive me for yakking!!

The 80s are as far away from us now, as the 40s were when we were teens in the 80s. I remember back then thinking the 80s were so modern. I thought the future was going to be so much better than it is today.

[@dukecraig2402]

I graduated from high school in 83, at the end of that summer in September I went into the Army, February of 84 right out of training I was stationed in Germany, on June 6th of that year in the morning I got a Stars and Stripes magazine and the headline story was how it was the 40th anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Normandy. Just the other day I was talking to an old Army buddy of mine who was there that day in Germany and told him "Do you realize that on this June 6th it'll be the same amount of time from D-Day to when we were stationed in Germany as from then until now? We are now as old as some of those WW2 veterans were when we were in the Army, good lord the years have passed by". Years back I heard an explanation about the perception of time passing by that a long time ago I realized was true and the older I get the truer it is, when you're 10 years old 1 year is one 10th of your perceived life, but when you're 50 years old 1 year is one 50th of your perceived life, that's why the older you get the faster time seems to go by, each day seems like it lasts just as long but when you look back is when time seems to be speeding up and the years seem to go by faster.

[@robinrainmaker7232]

Black Flagg, The Runaways, The Circle Jerks, The Misfits and Social Distortion were on their way to getting fully established with T4he Ramones here in the States leading the way while Bauhaus, Bowie, The Clash and The Sex Pistols across the pond in Great Britain doing the same.

This is one of those iconic 80’s songs for me. So many amazing memories come flooding back. Dancing my ass off in a dingy little bar in NY called The Beat. I had a floor length army jacket, black chucks, stovepipe dress slacks with a cuff, vintage dress shirt and a skinny tie. I would dance until the sweat was pouring off me and my hair was matted. Modern English, Depeche, Smiths, Cure, PIL, Bauhaus, you know the list. Never gets old and still gets me going and I’m 60!!

[@paranormalskeptic3893]

I’m 61, LOVED this song and Depeche Mode, the Cure, PIL, and dozens more. Since you’re from NY, I’m sure you listened to WLIR back in the 1980’s. It was the New Wave station. I loved New Wave music from the 1980s, I have a New Wave playlist on my iPhone with some great music. Couldn’t have imagined the words playlist and iPhone back in the 1980s. It was all about CD’s, Sony Walkmen and mixed tapes back then. Saw a bunch of great New Wave bands live back then too.

It was the real first decade with independent labels... that really did things just for artistic reasons. But it is true, not only the sound, even many of the songs have an uplifting nature that perdures until today. I am thinking of The The's "This is the day", or A Flock of Seagulls "Space Age Love Song", The Waterboys ("The whole of the moon"), Prince ("1999") or so many tracks from the Cure, Depeche mode (but not tonight) or even the weirder stuff that is also amazing. Then you had all the early detroit techno, Acid House, New Beat... CRAZY. The 90's were pretty damn good too, but it was more of a continuation of the spirit of the 80's.
