Ultravox - Reap The Wild Wind (Official Music Video)

[@gita_andani]

Ultravox, one of the most important synth pop acts that sadly aren't as famous as they deserve to be.

[@fritzlange7934]

I dunno, Vienna was reasonably successful.

[@coindude69]

I absolutely agree!! Great, underrated band!!

[@paulanthony5274]

@@fritzlange7934 As was Dancing with tears in my eyes and various other top 20 tracks they were successful but I catch their drift as in maybe more top ten tracks midge had a number one on his own with "If I was" I had their hits Album The Collection back then. Incidentley in the UK Vienna was voted as the best song to not get to number 1 and number 2 instead famously kept off the top with "Shut uppa your face"

[@maciejtadaszak7472]

What? They are. I'm from Poland, born in 86 and I know their songs since childhood.

[@srkbear1]

They were in the UK. Who were always ahead of us musically here in America. This was top 40 in England when it came out, while we were being “dazzled” by “Eye of the Tiger” and the Flashdance theme here in the US. 🙄

[@grahamhardy1358]

RIP Chris, met you in Hammersmith and you really were the brain of the outfit but so diplomatic, I never chatted to you but briefly met you. Thank you so much for the music and the entertainment.

[@gingerfreak01]

Listen to his bass in this, great.

[@greeneyes8313]

It's pure new romantic, new wave and melancholic. I wanna dance, I wanna sing and cry at the same time. That's the real music. That is the best music.

[@wheresyaya6792]

Produced by George Martin and engineered by Geoff Emerick, late of the Beatles! They caught a lot of flak for “selling out” at the time. The results are timeless.

@@silkEluv It feels very strange to realise it was 40 years ago. I dont think that we will ever see an era of music like that

[@slaakattak]

Pasadena, 1983, KROQ...Fear not my people but God will return us to those glorious days!!

[@spookilyookily]

I play this every time I miss my mom. One day, in the 80's as a teen and not long after my dad died suddenly, I blasted this in my bedroom while packing my things up (we could no longer afford to live where we were) and my pre-WWII-German-born mom started banging on my door. I turned the volume down and opened up the door, expecting her to yell at me to "keep the noise down." Instead, my mom was standing there with tears in her eyes, and she asked me to play this song again as she absolutely loved it. Tears rolling down my face while writing this, sadly my mom passed away only a few years after that. But playing this even today brings back my memory of that moment where we shared a common joy we felt when we listened to Reap the Wild Wind together.

Great story. I just found this song in a pile of 45’s. Sending you ❤

[@brettterwilliger7329]

Midge Ure's voice is so unique. There's a poetic vibe that was perfect for that genre.

[@eternal1blue]

Very much

[@michaelthompson5538]

Midge Ure's voice is very strong in this song. He really has a fantastic voice.

[@softailryder6495]

Yes, it’s 2024 and I still listen to Ultravox!

[@TheSplitzMusic]

Ive never stopped since the day I bought Vienna

[@dogfather68]

What I loved about the 80s as a teen, the music not only inspired and gave us hope, it added romanticism with admiration to strive and achieve great things in life. Videos back then were always an inspiration no matter who you were.

[@markblount8255]

So True words i feel the same and Ultravox were one 80s snyth legends

[@percyosorio6109]

Soy aficionado a la aviación, especialmente la de combate. Y también me gusta mucho Ultravox. Y hace tiempo busco alguna entrevista de Ultravox donde expliquen por qué incluyeron aviones en el video. Es un homenaje a los pilotos? A la aviación británica? Tú sabes algo?

[@katherinesanborn3077]

Beautiful song, but literally too painful to listen to 40 years later. Takes me right back to the 80s; so many wonderful memories and so many friends from those days have passed.

[@ralphlazio505]

@katherinesanborn - I can totally relate. I know this song and I always loved this song, and it’s my first time seeing this video. Much melancholy for sure; but it definitely makes me want to close my eyes and dance 🎶❤️

[@ivanjavierhormecheacampo3334]

Dear Katerin,the nostalgy is one of the most beautiful and special feelings of the human being, sweet and sad at the same time; we contemplate our past, things and people that are no longer here; that tell us that nothing lasts forever, it is a very beautiful song. greetings

[@CannonCrombie]

I concur

The best band ever

I didnt grow up in the 80's, my dad did. But the first time i heard this song, and many of Ultravox's hits, I felt the 80's that my dad grew up in. Then i saw the music video, and i understood completely. Today's music just doesn't have the same soul that music had back then, and before that even.

[@waltermartinez5372]

I am 53 now and I have always like this song since the first time I saw this music 🎵 video on cable MTV back in the day 1982

[@mousiespanks2379]

Definitely one of the most underrated 80s songs. I was talking about 1980s music the other day with a friend and we both said about the same time Remember Reap the wild wind. It was a great moment. We didn't forget this classic.

[@ralphlazio505]

I’ve known this beautiful melody for well over 34 years now. It’s my first time seeing this video. My grandfather served as a reconnaissance photographer for the US Army during the Second World War. My grandfather would tell me stories of this beautiful British 🇬🇧Spitfire work of art that gave Hitler his first defeat during the war and that contributed to the salvation of Europe against tyranny. My grandfather is long gone; but just recently, I heard this beautiful song at a nightclub; music was loud, smoke in the air, lights all around me; I closed my eyes and I swayed and danced to the sounds of my soul…. I felt free.

My grandfather served in the U.S Army in the invasion of Sicily, and the Battle of Monte Casino. He never talked about it either. Probably because like your father, he saw Hell on Earth. I take my hat off for your dad.

[@wayback75]

Yes , underrated in the states , So sad, but true.

[@markoutram7589]

God, I haven't listened to this in DECADES (so dunno why today). I remember hearing, I think, Chris (bass) in a BBC Radio interview - back when it was 'good', not 'tripe' - saying that the band wanted the song/video to be ''about the unsung heroes'' ... . Puts a lump in my throat just thinking about it. I was a big fan of Ultravox - both John Foxx- AND Midge-era - when at the time no-one else would admit it (even though probably loads of 'em bought the records) - AND I got quite a lot of 'stick' for it, as I remember. I guess that's what happens growing up in a (very) small Northern UK town - and I guess that's the same in lots of places. Still, AWESOME stuff - thanks for posting.

[@seanmcgonicigle_121]

[@ExiledStardust]

I don't understand why younger folks keep saying 80s musicians are underrated. Ultravox was huge in the 80s. Just because you didn't hear of them doesn't mean the rest of us didn't know or appreciate them.

[@easystar123]

I have every single record that Ultravox released. I was a big fan back in the day . When I heard the new song for the first time on radio or Top of the Pops, it was off to the record shop. I'm now 61. The memories are still there. They were a fabulous band.

[@Lee71England]

This song was on one of those "Buy Vol 1, and get Vol 2 free" double albums of chart music you could get in Woolworths for £5.99 back in the early 80s. (This particular one might have been called Chart Attack or Chart Runners, or something like that.) I was a kid at the time, and I used my saved-up pocket money to buy the album. On vinyl! And I have to say Reap The Wild Wind was one of the tracks on it I could take or leave. A few months later the song featured in an episode of Bergerac (anyone remember that programme?!) and my view changed in an instant. Hearing it in that, I suddenly appreciated absolutely everything about the track. 40 years later.....I still appreciate absolutely everything about this song (and always will.)

[@ZPolaris]

I'm 65 now however when this song came out I was in my 20's back then. For me this song defined the 80's. Thanks for the upload and the memories.

[@PatrickSheridanVideo]

This just might be my all time favorite Ultravox song. I love the richness of the soaring keyboard synthesizers along with the vocals. It's so beautiful. I saw Midge perform live three nights ago here in Vancouver (although strangely enough, this song wasn't included in the set). I was quite thrilled to get an opportunity to see this highly respected music icon playing in a small venue, but IMO the hired guns backing up Midge didn't do the songs justice. Seemed to me that the young keyboard player's contribution in particular was very limited... which when listening to the music of Ultravox, was very disappointing to experience. (To be fair to the keyboard player, he seemed more proficient and at ease when backing up Paul Young in the second half of the double-bill.) I'd love to see Midge performing alongside the original members of Ultravox, but unless I cross the Atlantic, that's unfortunately probably never going to happen. I am so thankful though that there's a treasure-chest of recorded material to forever enjoy.

[@helmutseiboth4700]

One of the Best Poprock Songs ever...i Heard this Song up and down wenn i Was 21 years old here in Germany

[@paulanthony5274]

Often wonder why you don't get many pop or rock bands in Deutschland like you do in UK and America. You had fine classical music composers but I can't think of any big german bands. Were Kraftwerk german? I heard a track actually a while back by a german band I think the chorus chanted "Deutschland" möchtest du mehr Musik da drüben? Not sure if i said that right mein Deutsch ist wirklich schlecht.

That moment when he sings 'A stranglehold on a certain feeling' takes me right back to the feelings I had at the time, in a powerful way. It's prophetic or apt because contained within that moment he really does create a stranglehold on a feeling - my feelings that are eternal in that moment.

[@ЮрийИванов-г7ц]

Живя в СССР, я любил послушать "новою волну". Quartet был моим любимым альбомом у Ultravox. Великолепные 80-е давно закончились, волшебная" новая волна" закончилась, мой СССР был предан и разрушен. Музыка превратилась в раздражающий шум. СССР в прошлом. Хорошая музыка тоже закончилась. Та же история с хорошими фильмами и книгами, они остались в прошлом. Похоже, СССР удерживал мир от безумия и деградации. Living in the USSR I loved the new wave music. Quartet was my favorite Ultravox album. Now the magnificent 80-s are over, the magic new wave is over, my USSR was betrayed and broken. The music has turned into the annoying noise. The USSR is over. The good music is over too. The same story with good films and books. It seems the USSR kept the world from madness and degradation.
