Soft Cell revisit Say Hello Wave Goodbye on Later… with Jools Holland

[@VinylSamuraisMusic]

One of the greatest songs ever written and never gets enough airtime or love. This is a painful song to hear for me and makes me cry. Utterly magical.

Agree totally. Class.

[@mistermatix8241]

Dave Ball laughing at 2:36, just shows these talented musicians are really good friends, you can see the love and warmth between them. C'mon Dave & Marc, keep Soft Cell alive, your majestic songs are perfect. It shows a fantastically well written back catalog, that when, even re-recorded in a new version, they still sound masterful. What a band.

[@davidramonemorrison2652]

Maybe they fell out at some point , I lost track of them but the love never faded really by the looks and sound of this They are sublime together.

[@mistermatix8241]

@@davidramonemorrison2652 they're absolutely brilliant, been a fan since a kid. Can't wait for the new album. Marc Almond, what a voice! He could teach this new rabble (with a couple of exceptions) of so called singers, dependent on auto tune and effects a thing or two, he's really got the goods.

[@schragemusik]

@@mistermatix8241 hearing how Marc Almond wavers around a note without actually hitting it, I almost begin to think that autotune has its place.

Martin Rev is my favorite keyboard player however Dave Ball is a very close second ! in addition I always liked Dave's fashion style more

I am 59 I couldn’t stand this guy or his music back in the day Never listened to him all my life Just seen him perform this song on jools Holland 2024 Absolutely love his voice and performance, thank you for such a gift

[@charliechod]

credit where its due ! this man smashes this song every time he performs it

[@mandykerr9956]

Honestly have loved this particular video version of this song, since first hearing it, over a year ago I think, but anyhow, it inspired me in several ways, one of which to go see at Let’s Rock in Shrewsbury…..not next door for us, but myself and youngest son can’t wait to see 🥰

[@stevenicholls1986]

Unbelievable! Nearly Pissed myself when I heard Marc Almond was 62. What a Voice he still has. How is it possible to still look and sound as good/if not better. as he does nearly 40 years later. Fantastic

[@MrMottestyles]

Yeah- I get the face- probably had work done, and fair play to him, but there's no disguising a knackered voice- his voice is still amazing!

[@billinawe]

One of the greatest songs ever, for personal reasons. Still brings a tear or two to my eyes.

[@lioii]

One of the best songs ever written! Dripping with soul, class, despair and beauty. Still stunning after all these years...

[@circlekj]

One of the best songs they ever did, love the david gray cover, but this is sublime & as good today as it's ever been... They deserve their place at the table of the greats... Welcome back... Later! xx

[@bonnie43uk]

Ooh, didn't know David Grey covered this song .... goes off to seek it out on KZbin :-) Thanks

[@traecy43]

It's horrible,nothing like Soft Cell's! Marc just sings this song to perfection along with Dave on synth & the electronic percussion.

[@kevinbeck6785]

great comments they were very under rated marc and david are up with best of them during the best decades of music

[@michaelpallett4434]

[@dlamiss]

EASILY the best song they made so much better than the overrated over played tainted love

[@delby66]

I'm a 68 year old man and this beautiful song is one of the most emotional tunes ever written. Dave's incredible keyboards and Marc Almond's beautiful and emotional vocals make this song so special. I cry everytime I hear it, for no particular reason except it is such a magnificent song, both lyrically and musically.

[@geriatriccarper2842]

Superb, when the audience starts giving Marc the backing vocals 👌🥺

[@prcole18]

Pure class! Soft Cell still got it. Quite emotional at the end with Marc singing next to Dave, Roll on the 02 on Sunday.

[@Mindboggle100]

Last performances and irrecoverable partings are always sad... at least today compared to the 1980s.,there are many more ways to access quality recordings of performances that can alleviate the "endings" time brings, and instead relive the moment!
