PhD - I Won't Let You Down (HQ)

[@melchior6427]

My father always listened to this song in the car. I used to hate "old music". But now it makes me cry... I miss these times. He isn't dead or something. I just don't see him that often anymore.

[@jimmychooquay]

Who’d thought that dads had better music than us. Or are youngsters just spoon fed over-produced, sterile, commercially driven tripe?

[@33stevelinda]

your dad had great taste in music rip man

[@Dennis_Leon]

My father also liked this song, he passed away a year and a half ago. This song bring good remembrances 😭

[@SergioBlackDolphin]

I was listening to this song when I was as old as my son now. Such a beautiful song. Where I lived you could listen to it on a radio or a Juke Box but videos weren’t commercialised much.. and I was too young to care. In Italy this song was everywhere. I thought it was a black female singer singing it. If you close your eyes you will notice I might be right.. great voice. I also loved a lot their other famous song: I didn’t know. I looked for it for many years. Oh the tears when I found it. I wish I could talk to that little young me loving this song and being emotional. It took so May years to find it. I owe PhD more memories than I imagined. And yes, our parents were saying the same, the music we listened to was rubbish. Listen to your music. Look for some good music and artists to listen to. They will be like pictures of your time. Full of memories. Listen to some good music for good memories. Live and love music with your friends and family.

[@paultreadaway102]

He wasn't old when he played it to think scary he may have been in his 20s this would have been new u may have been a kid hating this Music now it's doubled we getting old it really suxs to think it was flawless gem the 80s now they coming into their 40s yikes gosh so many emotions now u hit old age

[@almdrs]

R.I.P. Jim Diamond. Thank your for the music!

[@NickMullet]

Born in 1990 but a massive fan of all things 80s. Thought I’d heard a bit of everything. Just found this at 32 n the guy was born 20 miles away from me. Dunno how I missed this one but very happy to discover it.

[@Clash3010]

The shame is that as Jim told me, he was never really recognised in Scotland. The only reason I can think of is because he was more famous in Europe than Britain. He has one of the most recognisable voices in the world but we Scots just didn't want him.

[@v.konings1222]

This is the kind of song you could've heard only once in your life but it just stays with you. I don't think any songs made today have that same quality.

[@clarebaldwin4872]

You are so right

[@arni1981full]

Agree with you

[@VaakoVonFalkenfels]

Yep.... The refrain burns into your Brain 4ever

[@aubindemontfalcon5967]

2 other songs had the same impact to me (always on my mind after just one listen) : "Africa" (Toto), and "The Riddle" (Nik Kershaw)

[@420teamsupreme]

Played this full blast in my car one hot summers night with my windows down. Stopped at a set of traffic lights. A car pulled up beside me. I could see the driver and passenger looking at me out the corner of my eye :) I slowly turned my head and made eye contact then we all started singing it together. A perfect synchronised moment that I’ll never forget. Isn’t that the coolest story ever?

[@tonyjames4942]

A perfect moment!

[@420teamsupreme]

Tony James it really was ♥️

[@felipecohen4744]

YES

[@MrLiam1410]

Brilliant

[@floydfan7511]

Yh man did this recently at like 5am, I pulled up to some builders in a van blasting there favourite tunes. I pulled up and the passenger driver just saw me smiled & we started singing 🎼🙏🎶🤗😂

[@mystikalmaze]

I'm 44 years old now, but this take me right back to my early childhood. Beautiful song!

No, enjoy being 16 and listening to 7os music... as being in yr 50s is no joke. Yr life is just beginning, enjoy it and never wish it away my friend. So glad to know youngsters are listening to great tunes. God bless. Xxxx

[@robbiethepict2783]

I was born in 1971. Enjoy your life whether it be short or long and remember it's better to regret something that you did than something you didn't. Go on make us proud.

[@jonhart7630]

I was born in 1970 and the 80s were great. However, you had to be tough. There was a lot of gang fighting back then.

[@gveerselgerard7129]

I am 74 years old still love this Song

[@Menno.078]

I am 20 years old and also love this song

[@tomsacadden]

The best keyboard riff of the eighties, still gives me a shiver of pure joy after all these years.

[@joachimjarlev3154]

Just my thought also

[@craigwalker551]

One of the best voices as well

[@johnstairs]

This and Golden Brown

@@johnstairs nail on the head bro,GB is hectic,the most epic song of all time imo,this is not far behind

[@tomaszominski2148]

It's not even possible to compare it with modern stuff. Everything in perfect proportions, full of nostalgia and 80s loneliness...

[@yvankindt5784]

i totaly agree with u

[@AtonalMeasureRecords]

Very cool and Jazzy keys, thanks to the incredible Tony Hymas of the Jeff Beck Band, add Jim Diamond to the proceedings, and you've got lightning in a bottle.

[@pammetje1]

I could never find the words to capture this. You gave me just that. Thnx

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I like it, but I'm not sure music has perfect proportions. I just like a ton of different stuff.

[@BerneyJohn]

Spot on sir!

[@francescomontanino]

Bellissima anche a distanza di più di 40 anni. Avevo 8 anni quando l’ascoltai la prima volta alla radio, ma queste sonorità non l’ho mai più dimenticate! Capolavoro assoluto! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ShineNoelA]

A perfectly crafted pop song that has stood the test of time. Nobody can top Jim Diamond's vocals on this classic.

[@Studio280]

Ich bin 30 Jahre, war noch lang nicht auf der Welt, als dieses Jahr herauskam. Ich höre es so gern. Muss ich mich dafür schämen? Natürlich nicht! Hervorragende Musik ❤

[@Mahmuang]

This song has one of the most perfect moments ever recorded in music history. When he says the "Let" the second time in the chorus.

[@amandawilson7412]

One of the best pieces of music ever written and sang

[@wilhelmhofmeister4974]

The most beautiful melancholic,devastating chords!i soooo still love this song after so many years!

[@benedictelopez2776]

Née en 1998, âgée de 25 ans cette musique me rend nostalgique d’une époque qui n’était même pas mienne…merci à ce grand Monsieur, merci pour ce chef d’œuvre sur lequel je pourrais pleurer…Année 80 à jamais dans mon cœur 🫶🏼

[@aubindemontfalcon5967]

This song literally grabbed me from the first listen. I was immediately fascinated by several things: its unclassifiable side (pop? soul? progressive? a bit of all that !), this relaxing atmosphere, this minimalist and yet incredibly effective orchestration, and finally this absolutely unique melody. And that voice! for a long time I thought it was sung by a black singer woman !

[@eileannach4350]

for a long time i thought it was that other great Glaswegian singer with a great voice -Jimmy Sommervile 😅

[@tahiadz1892]

[@Razer5542]

God i can never get enough of this song, absolutely brilliant song.

[@linshepherd7646]

What a fabulous, totally under appreciated song. Didn't know singer had passed. Better than any think today. Great 🇬🇧 👍

[@tgbitw17]

So I just sat at my computer and out of the blue I started to sing "Iiiii won't let you down... don't let me outa here" and was like, wow where did that come from? Who the hell is that even? I then remembered the video from those first days of MTV. I then immediately googled those lyrics and found out it was PhD, so here I am. Unbelievable the power of a great melody. I can't remember 85% of what I learned in school and barely peoples names Ive met many times but i can spontaneously remember a song I havent heard since 1982. Wow. What a song.

[@rayturvey3826]

Even after all these years, this song grows on me a little more every time I hear it. 38 years that`s insane. who is doing anything as good as this now?

[@CyberEditing]

Used to listen to this on the radio in 1981 when I was in University. Now it's 2024 and the first time I've heard it since then. 🔥🏆🔥

The song is gallant and emerges with the organ from 3:00 on as triumphant. Total masterpiece.

That synth part is repeated x2 in the single format : at 3:00 and as the intro. But the album version , that part is only at 3:00, the intro being directly the first verse.
