A Flock of Seagulls Space Age Love Song-Brixton (Live) - 1983

[@jayybirdberg6545]

I freaking love this song. Better than I ran. The guitar is incredible

[@stevengregory1671]

I totally agree a flock of seagulls is my favorite band and every song is great but this is definitely my favorite

[@jhawk3128]

I agree 100%...Paul Reynolds guitar on this song is other worldly...any teenager falling in love for the 1st time can feel all of those emotions in this song

[@deanpeters-f6t]

Me too

[@BRENDAJASON1]

That guitar sounds good doesn’t it it’s like a echo back to that early 80’s era

[@ghoppr71]

Not to mention Reynolds was probably not even 18 here. Fame and fortune at such a young age made him have a nervous breakdown. Great underrated guitarist.

[@stuartjones3011]

Tremendous band. Paul Reynolds is a legend.

[@alitlweird]

DJ M Amen to that! I was born in 1972. The 80s were amazing. This is such a beautiful song. It perfectly encapsulates what teenage love felt like. it’s hard for me to imagine that teens today will be able to look back at the 2020s with the same fondness and nostalgia that 80s teens are able to.

Yall,but u know that Mike took all he credit! The band contributed alot, but Mike with his ego! Bet he was very jealuos of Paul!

[@AJ17_]

@@caustularodriguez5601 I've heard similar about Mike. I've heard he's very difficult to work with because of his ego (according to Frank on Bands Reunited, Mike even had to go to counseling for his ego issues, though fat of of good it did). And I also heard he was jealous of Paul & Frank's talent and would make sure his keyboards were always the loudest in the mix to try drowning them out.

Do you think the rest of the band knew what they had in Paul Reynolds? I hope so. What a guitarist! Phenomenal!

[@keijojokimies9697]

Paul Reynolds was a really skilled lead guitarist at that time, I wouldn't have thought that in 1983 at a flock of seaguls gig, a 20-year-old man's guitar could produce such a good sound. I like this song, my wife likes it too.

[@geraintgriffiths5711]

Your wife has fantastic taste

[@AJ17_]

Paul started playing guitar when he was 10. He was extremely talented. Played like he had many more years experience than he actually had.

I saw them in Houston Texas in 1983. That is one night I will never forget. A young 23 year old living in my best times of my whole life. I've seen Mike Score perform now about 7 times.

Paul was 17 when he became one of the pioneers of synchopated delay guitar. Ran a Rat pedal through a couple JC-120s. Absolute tone master.

Ah yes, flashback time. Like others have said, still love this song and listen to it regularly. Remember hearing this song for the first time in a club, found out who it was and bought the record the next day. Have seen the band a couple of times including when they opened for Simple Minds. Good times.

[@xTruthxWithinx]

So wanted to stop here and share this story and hope for this band to continue to be shared with the future generations. My mom has this album on vinyl and cd, however I only knew of I Ran. That song got reintroduced to the 90’s kids again in 2002 with GTA Vice City on Wave 103. I’m hopeful that Space Age will make its way back to a GTA game again so in number 6 I can revisit the same Vice Beach that as an 11 year old I enjoyed listening to the soundtracks of the 80’s.

[@JohnHWelch63]

I lived my late teens to late 20s in the 80s and was a big hard rock/metal fan. When this band and others similar hit the scene I admit I hated to them. I guess a lot of it had to do with peer pressure. I couldnt admit liking this song being a headbanger. LoL. Today I love hearing the old 80s pop songs like this.

[@allanreyes6873]

The 80s were soooo fun. Dancing to flock of seagulls and, of course, who could forget That H A I R !!! Great song❤

[@JohnWahlers]

Im a long time guitarist that was heavily influenced by highly skilled rock players from the 80s (VH, Randy Rhoads, Neil Schon Yngwie etc) and used to look at bands like this as being bubblegum pop that were more of a gimmick. Im now an old man (58) and still playing guitar and I have changed my views considerably-when I look at these guys now compared to the current popular music they were a talented hard working band that had a very unique style. The guitar player looks like a little kid but has a very cool melodic approach that is quite unique, Again compared to groups today they were SO much better and "real" musicians-respect
