bmovie. a letter from a far...12 inch version.1984

[@jezcoxon7566]

I still have this on 12”.One of my favorite songs ever.

[@sylviegamboa106]

This is a hidden gem not too many know about from Bmovie. My second favorite song after NoWhere girl Coolest song ever

[@captaingish]

I really miss his time when bands, barely in their twenties can come up with songs with catchy rhythmic melodies and amazing lyrics such as these. Today's music in comparison just seem one-dimension, vulgar, and devoid of any immagination. I want the 80s back!

[@DriverDean]

AGREED!!!!

[@dudschigralf5802]

captaingish or buy the last b Movie CD or Spear of destiny or neon kross or other great realesases.

[@Martinez-mr3uy]

The passion is gone now.

[@spiritfoodstamp]

CURRENT JOYS

[@bluesilverblue]

Still have this 12” and I love it now as much as I did back then……….beautiful song X

[@victoriapalmer2353]

havent heard this song SINCE the 80's.....WOW!!!! the lyrics are so beautifully sad! I LOVE this song!

[@mr198221]

Damn. This song sounds amazing! I just discovered this late 2022. DJ James Anthony played this, and I was hooked.

[@johnbesedic9432]

I heard this song on CFNY in Toronto while I was in school late one night and fell in love with it instantly. Shopping all the record stores for the single was nearly impossible until the invention of the Internet. In 1996 I found a guy selling his 12" collection of records and saw this record for sale. Emailing him, he called me in Florida where I live now and played it. SOLD!!!!. Still have it today in my record collection. Now with the Internet and youtube I can play it anytime, but the sound of vinyl is the best sound.

[@davidtracey4335]

John Besedic haha CFNY yes what a radio station, it really was the vanguard in a great way. i had forgotten about this song until i saw it lined up with "nowhere girl". i imagine this song had some success but i am not sure if it was as big as their first big hit.

[@davidtracey4335]

david tracey John did you ever get to the VooDoo club in Toronto? what a club that place was...

[@jbesedic]

david tracey I still have the keychain for VIP for VooDoo. Martin Streek from CFNY gave me

[@davidtracey4335]

that is crazy John. are you on facebook?

[@davidtracey4335]

John Besedic i still see Deborah O'Dell around downtown toronto sometimes, she was the silver queen if you remember her from the early days. all clad in ambiguity and art...

[@MyEidolon1]

Takes me back. Always loved this song!

[@michaelsans8167]

This is so great

[@t0nes0nTales]

the ending song of DJ unbeatable way back the 80s era in WXB102...who could forget that..long live the wave.......

[@-smokem]

WXB102 - I have to give them credit for playing a song that I last heard on CFNY about 40 years ago. I didn't catch the artist and title of the song but it was playing in my mind all that time since then. Thanks, WXB102!

[@theoriginalbluey]

They just took it to a new level of stunning with this release. I still have the 7" and 12", it's still fresh bliss!

[@dangerbay1968]

I had this 12" and played it endlessly. Toronto had the best New Wave scene. Oh those CFNY dances at Ontario Place. Red hair like Thompson Twins and hairstyle of flock of seagulls.

[@johnchristopherliscombe9849]

cfny 102.1 the spirit of radio ruled.the edge sucks

[@LynnGustafson]

That sounds hot. Pics?

[@-smokem]

Yeah, I agree. I haven't listened to CFNY since 30 years ago.

[@cynthiaparris]

One benefit of having older sisters...I got into bands like B Movie, Ultravox and Ministry (With Sympathy) at an early age : ) The 80's rule!

[@coxonlourdes]

My favorite track of theirs.

[@francissullivan6582]

Beautiful song. Just discovered it. Long live B-Movie. Greetings from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

[@monicavicious5110]

Starting my working week with a great song. Thanks BMovie!

[@andypandy4078]

The b-side is great too - both classic synth-pop epics - my favourite things they did.

[@michelleanne6500]

This is one of my all-time favorites! After I lost the 12" during a move to the hinterlands, I had to wait for years until the internet developed enough that I could locate an mp4 to download lol

[@areyoureceivingme]

Remember when I bought the 7". I just couldn't stop playing it. Love all their singles it's hard to decide which is best. Playing them still of course because it's all about vinyl!

[@martinconway3758]

I can still remember seeing B Movie perform this live at The Palace in Los Angeles in 85 (I think). They were brilliant! Not sure all of the locals knew what had hit them,but the Riverside posse, featuring the gorgeous Diana Gibson, were all tuned in.

[@juliannaanda8210]

+Martin Conway , this song does me in, hon. Musically & lyrically. It is one of my top 100 songs ever. That's hard as I separate genres for top 100! Hey there's lots of music out there. This one Alters my State of Being. Amazing after all these years. I don't over listen. :-) Toronto, Canada Saw them in '85 as well.

[@pusanghalaw]

+Julianna Anda it's in my top 50

[@petergomez7490]

Haha, Riverside posse was 2 years behind us Whittier crowd who saw them in 1983 and hooked on to this 12" song in 1984...they looked as I did then, super young, and Nowhere Girl took minutes to figure out they were playing the actual song (they skipped on that piano beginning)...good times.

[@ps2138]

We played B-Movie in late 1982, early 1983. Redondo Beach & Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA. Our public parties and of course the private ones. We were just kids. The thing about CA, is you can drive at the age of 15.5, at least back then.

[@ps2138]

Oh man, I remember listening to B-Movie, Sparks, Ultravox, Talk Talk, & New Order in 1982 & 1983 in those wistful moments overlooking the night sky filled with stars & the suburban hills criss-crossed with street lights, commenting to a friend, it’ll be hard to top this...

[@stuartwaters]

Fantastic tune

[@DriverDean]

Thanks for posting! This track received very little/no airplay on SoCal radio or clubs back in the day, but it's awesome....it got drowned in all the good music of so many genres at the time but deserved more airtime and promotion.....

[@fare142]

dopo tanto è tornata su KZbin !!! magnifico pezzo new wave anni 80 Depeche, Ultravox, Stranglers, Psychedelic Furs' e tanti altri che ricordi di quel periodo spensierato but now : "dancing with tears in my eyes" .........!!!!

[@sharonlisaboreham324]

Got this too on vinyl with that cover 12", Nowhere Girl and Remembrance Day. Listen to Arctic Summer too, remember them playing that live in London at time they released this song.

[@JesterY2Kaolcom]

I love this - haven't heard it in generations - thansk so much for posting~

[@ronilonano]

been listening to it since 80s... love new wave then

[@duantorruellas716]

[@thesmogmankills]

AWESOME ONE SWEETY.... remember it and love it... you made my day for sending it to me lol

[@NovemXI]

No joy in heaven Although the sun may shine I need the warmth of gin inside I see the golden track Blurred in sand and dust Where burnt out cars decay and rust No joy in heaven Despite the glittering stars Their jagged shapes just tear my heart Between the sand and stone The flowers of hope may grow Then trodden on by commandos Chanting these words out like a prayer (A letter from afar) Hoping someone’s listening up there (A letter from afar) Reach for a face that isn’t there (A letter from afar) Fooled by my mind again i fear (A letter from afar) Too much is not enough I need to feel your touch I need to have you close to me Desert suns and guns Mosquito nets and bombs I watch them from my swimming pool Chanting these words out like a prayer (A letter from afar) Hoping someone’s listening up there (A letter from afar) Reach for a face that isn’t there (A letter from afar) Fooled by my mind again i fear (A letter from afar) Chanting these words out like a prayer (A letter from afar) Hoping someone’s listening up there (A letter from afar) Reach for a face that isn’t there (A letter from afar) Fooled by my mind again i fear (A letter from afar) A letter from afar A letter from afar (Too much is not enough) A letter from afar (Too much is not enough) A letter from afar I need to feel your touch I need to feel your touch

[@cocoys710]

great music so hard to find!!

[@cocoys710]

great music so hard to find!! oliver v.

[@tonynguyen501]

Thank-you for putting this cool song of B-movie

[@rickwhear4016]

loved cfny...

[@keithkennedy133]

Love B-move , This track sounds Fantasic on a set of Cerwin Vegas with two Cerwin Vegas subs and a good Yamaha Amp, they just dont make music like this anymore.

[@ivanmichelsen7807]

Also have the 12” it is a Classic - and not on Spotify ;-)

[@cometeunzurullo]

Gran grupo, grandísimo tema.

[@WOcoFunnies]

one of my favorites..

[@b-movie2024]

B-Movie are playing in Birmingham on 08th November at The Flapper

[@fabulousfabe61]

This version can be found on retro : active 4. A Canadian limited edition release. 12 collectible 12" extended versions from various artist of the eighties. A must have!

[@robbos44]

fans of this track should try ....taxi driver.....its from the same era and is similar in style and is quite a rare track. its over 10mins in length....you can find it on robbos44.

[@airthreypark]

They were brilliant.....danced our little 'Balearic' hearts out to this when Ibiza really was a musical meting pot. By the time this came out they had heard a bit more New Order I suggest?

[@juliannaanda8210]

Whilst this is one of my top 80's song's, I hadn't noticed the New Order tinge. Thanks for pointing that out! Cheers!

[@sanfoxmusicband]

B-Mobie leyenda en la zona 80

[@djpapito66]

The utimate track ever played @ Hearthrob when Little Louie Vega was deejaying back in the 80"s

[@ivettecarrero6644]

Oh the memories. Also played this song at the Devils nest in the Bronx.

[@michaelsans8167]

I wrote this on another vid same song first heard this on freestyle 88 bits and pieces 1224 deep it had no biz being on there but the corus sounded so good mixed in always wanted to know what song it was love it thanks just took 30 years haha you guys sound really solid new fan

[@DimitrisFout]

[@11HammerPMN]

Mansfield..Knew they were Northern !!! C'mon....

[@andypandy4078]

Up here in the proper north (East Lancs) we.d take exception to you saying Mansfiekd was in the North. It's in the East Midlands isn't it;? ;-)

[@DriverDean]

As far as the new order comments - New Order made a huge switch to more e-music after death of lead singer and change of name - these two bands not related in any way music or otherwise, Blue Monday a catchy synth tune and a big sexy hit for New Order but that is all....

[@masakic_vision]

I’m looking for this tune on Spotify but it’s not there, not even a different version.
