[@Guizeira80]

someone in 2024, listening to this sound and pure NOSTALGIA... I miss the old feet

[@danielcarson9822]

This song is so underrated. One of the greatest out there.

[@DaimonosUlv]

Bang on!

[@George2647g]

It's literally my favorite song and I consider myself a music connoisseur so.......

[@biggersam5326]

​@@George2647gmine too ❤

[@bethstewart8532]

St Lucia is underrated.

[@Juvalder144]

[@itsinthewaterbby]

This song is pure magic.

[@Mangl0]

7 años han pasado y nunca me cansaré de esta genialidad! ......Edit: ya es 2023 y sigo pensando que es maravillosa🙌🏻

[@pedropoma4195]

PES 2016!.. Great Song!... 80's style rules :)

[@mrafranca]

+Pedro Poma I remenbered A.HA

[@MusicInvestors]

+Pedro Poma Yesss I love it all

[@gsouza89]

+Pedro Poma Yes man Pure hits 80´s Great !!! the best song PES 2016

[@sonojif5068]

true. it tottally reminds you an 80's song. its great, it sounds classic and modern at the same time. great song.

[@eslydeluque5854]

si yo estuve buscando esta canción por pes 2016

[@80sOutrunFan]

Fantastic, can`t believe i only just found this song. 80s vibes woohoo

[@christiamcorea8102]

Remembering My good Old days in NYC.

[@dasritzoo9234]

Some serious "when times were good" vibes coming from this listening/watching now.

[@KyleTye]

There needs to be more music like this.

[@spikonaleash]

yes! a revolution of sound of sorts :)

[@chasenyland4524]

Lol There is more music like this. It's just not popular because the masses want to hear generic garbage.

[@KyleTye]

Chase Nyland Haha. Yeah, I listen to a lot of underground music, but I guess I meant more specifically the sound of this song, you know, the 80s-influenced synths and drums. M83 is really the only other artist I know of that has a similar sound (OK Pal and Midnight City especially). You know of any others?

[@chasenyland4524]

Kyle Tye OK Pal is amazing haha. Check out M83's Saturday=Youth album; Kim and Jessie most specifically. Try Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Toro Y Moi,, Neon Indian, and Washed Out.

[@KyleTye]

Oh trust me...I KNOW Saturdays=Youth. haha. And I've listened to all those other artists too except Toro Y Moi. HIPSTER WOES.

[@hectorarreola5430]

The 80s sound is making a comeback and to that I say "hell yeah!!"

[@merinfraser3374]

hell

[@jammawun]

This is one of the best songs of the last few decades.

[@cedricobounou3675]

The drummer is just divine

[@breezin25]

This song makes me happy.

[@escape-3312]

Who said that no one elevates you, This song ELEVATES me with no LIMITS

[@bethstewart8532]

Who is here 10 years later and this song is still 🔥

[@krsarmiento]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I don't think St. Lucia will ever came up with a song better than this one!

[@blazeshane]

This song just gives off such good vibes 🙌🏻 Its like a bright sunny day 🌅

[@Marco-gz8mj]

The 80's are BACK! Thank you St. Lucia, you brought back so many memories right to my mind with this unbelievable song

[@felipemarcoos]

Obrigado PES 2016 por ter me mostrado essa música FODA! SALVE BRASIL

[@ederbrito3720]

verdade kk

[@thiagotortelli6834]

tbm fui atras dps de comecar a jogar PES kkk massa demais

[@enzowebster3486]

+Thiago Tortelli Pes o melhor

[@gregorybraga34]

hahaha vim parar aqui por causa do PES tmb ! Musica boaaaaa !

[@joaovitorrodrigues2914]

kkk meu irmão joga PES aí eu conheci essa música hsuehdueh

[@ShonTolliverMusic]

Be me. Be summer. Driving fast, windows missing. The warm wind of an afternoon turned dusk. Destination, Cedar Point. A cityscape of Roller Coasters. The scent of gear grease, funnel cakes, and sunscreen baked skin. The 2017 August Full Eclipse provided the only shade and relief for the weekend. And this song provided the only soundtrack we ever needed. Thank you guys for making this song with so much love.

[@levicats123]

i herd this song back in 2014 and forgot about it until i decided too transfer files from an old hard drive and omg this song unlocked so many good memories from that time. still slaps in 2023!!!

[@yourgirlnat4138]

SONG OF THE YEAR

[@UrMomGoes2College]

This was one of the best times for the indie/alt pop/rock genre. Like St. Lucia some of the best bands I've ever heard came from this creative Era. I bet these were one of best times of these band member's lives and it shows through their music. Thank you guys for the smiles and good time anthems!

[@hernandz1000]

I couldn’t agree more except for this era we’re living now. There are tons of good songs like this nowadays. 20s is amazing 💥💥

[@martintube24]

Lol no. Sam Fender and that's about it.

[@synthian8377]

Tears for Fears meets Genesis, meets a Flock of Seagulls meets Glass Tiger. This song is really good at capturing that 80's feel - love it!!

[@perezynkrs1]

you forgot to mention toto the drums bring that toto feeling back in this song love it

[@xjohnnyutah]

80's sound? Yes, specifically Spandau Ballet. Love it love it love it!

[@RodrigoVolta]

80's never die!!! Best of the best years!!!

[@GamingsForTheMad]

90s were the best. Unfortunatey I wasn't born in the 90s

[@user-yz3dz6ju7p]

Even i hear it , and i'm 13

[@gamerfreak5665]

I really hope this band gets super popular... they deserve it. I want the younger generation to know how awesome this 80's style stuff is!

[@killerfrank8974]

It's been a while since modern music was able to elevate me like this has!

[@Pete_Finch]

This song represents the best times of my life. At that time, (2013-2015) no song made me happier and now that those times are long gone it is devastating to listen to. I just hope one day I'll be happy enough with how life is going again to be able to listen to this incredible song without it making my heart sink for all that's been lost as I've aged. Getting old sucks so much.

[@ThereMayBeLions]

Proof that the future might have good music

[@flexor212000]

There is always room for good music. There always has been. Pop isn't always good. Sometimes it can be (80's some 90's) but if you search, you can always find the good. No matter the time.

[@serotoninsteve5803]

I'll have to agree with flexor on this one. Good music exists no matter what decade it is. You just have to find it. Sure, maybe your taste isn't popular, but at least it gives your two cents some originality.

[@theyluvtori.]

Im from the future..

[@donii7092]

About that

[@musicandpoetry_8]

Nope

[@ibmsst]

Fuck. I love this song. "Noooo one! Elevates you elevates you now!!!" Thank you for this.

[@michaelleacy]

The harmonies at the end are to die for. Thank you for taking me well and truly back to the 80s. Keep it up St Lucia

[@tassilamadureira4142]

Escutei no PES 2016. Viciante... não paro de escutar.

[@mlmattin]

When I first heard these guys I immediately thought of the 80's. I love that sound. It's refreshing to hear that sound again in something new.

[@ashtonbeneke3703]

Try Aquaman by Walk the Moon. Similar sound, they have some great music.

[@city12chania]

I don't know how you do it But somehow you always will be there And there's nothing to it But somehow you always understand There's no way to wake up now Too many times I saw you cry And no one can make up it You wait for the sun to make the sky And no one elevates you, elevates you now And no one's gonna take you, gonna take you there All this time, never thought I would see you smile Know that I and I know that I see you now But I know I can't walk in Never go back again No matter how, tonight I'll never go back, never go back again You know that I want to get away And I cannot wait for another day You know that I want to elevate Time to pick it up and celebrate

[@yesohmygawsh]

Am I the only one who gets a Tears for Fears vibe from his voice? I saw St. Lucia when they opened for Ellie Goulding in 2013. I've been hooked ever since.

[@Dereksaysno]

Still listening 10 years later ❤

[@mrmiller5150]

I'm mostly a metal guy at heart, but I gotta admit. I like this. A lot.

[@conorharrigan9311]

I listen to metal too, and its impossible not to like this song haha

[@simon.foley1]

Agreed, glad I stumbled upon this.

[@bigal838]

Don't be ashamed. It's a GREAT song!!

[@Reziel_azyr]

Metal fan too and I do not hide my love for 80’s style pop rock music . It’s sincere simple and honest from beats to the images and memories it invokes.

[@rnt9652]

Metal fans always brag about being Metal fans. There must be something wrong with you guys.

[@oldirtydawson]

The intro with that bass synth hooks me every single time.

[@ryanmcquillan9270]

Bring back the 80's, this shit rocks!

[@deckardplisken]

I had to comment again. In this day & age it's refreshing to see a band play live & sound just like the album or sound even better live. I love this song but I love the live version of it wayyy better. That live version of this tune is on youtube & that only has 4,700 views. Unfucking believable. Something must be wrong with the listening audience these days. I'm going to do all I can to get this band the recognition they rightfully deserve.

[@deckardplisken]

Can't believe this song only has 54,000 views. WTF. It's easily one of my favorite songs of the year!! Saw them open up for Ellie months back at the Crystal Ballroom. I can play this song over & over & over again & love it everytime. It's a perfect song in every possible way. Their whole album front to back is great. 5 stars all the way. I hope this band makes it huge. They deserve all. The vibe of this tune is just straight up feel good!!

[@prototypejack671]

About 3,101,000 views later…just know we heard you. 🙏🏼

[@bt62380]

The production is amazing. So full, layered, and spacious. The digital woodwind, drum crashes, guitar on the build, fake horns, vocal layering- awesome!

[@JowyFull47]

PES brought me here, best song in the game.

[@victort0401]

And Youre One

[@JowyFull47]

that one is nice as well.

[@kristelurve]

i'll always remember that time when I left for hawaii in dec 2013, the sun was about to set and I blast this song when the plane was taking off. That moment felt so great; the scenery, the music, it was all so perfect.

[@yella83ify]

+Kristel Madamba I wish i could have been next to you in that exact moment! It's really one of those sunset type songs =) Feel good music =)

[@HarrisonHoude]

[@terrillcoleman7836]

I love this song. It's got an 80's feel to it. I like that.

[@michaelleacy132]

This is fantastic. The best song I've heard in years.

[@tim31000]

Sometimes when im feeling old i put this song on and it somehow transports me back in time to when i was young. Not many songs have the ability to do that :)

[@BlueBowzzer]

2013 was not THAT long ago

[@oniwagamaru]

@@BlueBowzzer its closing on a decade ago... we're old

[@ff_cobra_kai]

Hope y'all are still alive and jamming to your favorite song ❤

[@prilycalista7791]

[@urorazbojnik5678]

Ya I could almost swear it's something from George Michael, singer has exactly the same voice, love it :D

[@jarvryan]

This s one of the most uplifiting songs I've heard in a long time... And the video clip complements the song so perfectly. The looks on people's faces... Real people, living their lives, living in the moment. Wonderful. I just wish I could have been at that rooftop party!

[@oceanpoet18]

This song will never get old
