[@CrimsonCatacombs]

Wish this was on Spotify. I've had it stuck in my head for years and couldn't place it. So happy a tiktok video solved my mystery song. 🎉❤. Loved it so much as a kid.

Back in the 80s, a lot of the best music came out of Canada. These guys are just one more example.

[@rhubarbatbat3446]

Heard this this week on "The rooster,clucking great rock!" station. Shazamed it...Didn't find it. Apple music doesn't have it. So I went to youtube and found it! Thanks for this! It's an oldies discovery!

[@prattpt6]

These guys never got enough recognition.....one of Canada's greatest....

[@waydehull9022]

Most Cdn bands do not get the recognition they deserve.

[@thevanman4498]

Has a real Toronto 1980’s feel.

[@canadianharuka]

One of my favourite songs ever.

[@MadameSomnambule]

I really wish this band was on Spotify

[@danielavaca4414]

Great band and powerful sound❤

[@jeromelange7401]

One of the most Criminally Underrated Bands AND Tunages....EVER !!! #ForgottenJam #EpicHeadbanger

[@Snowdragon.]

I wish iTunes would put this song in there library !

[@3665584]

not on Spotify either

[@mccartney2]

theitr two albums are on my all time top AOR hi tech list...... fantastic melodies...arrangements...and top notch production

[@prattpt6]

I'd sure love to see these guys do a concert! Blast from the past!!

[@aeroman568]

The 12" extended version of this song fucking bangs. Too bad none of their older stuff is on spotify

[@giantsfan8872]

One of the best 80s choruses!

[@davidetienne9404]

You can say that again!

[@mcblay3]

been looking for this song for a long time

[@teresamitchell6952]

hahaha I have been looking for over 10 years and it appeared on a radio station one day while I was listending, OMG

[@andyrockevo]

Nothing compares to the 80s

[@lindamcdade3308]

Love the Arrows music! Have one of their cassettes, but don't want to wear it out, wish they were on Spotify.

[@Carbsmakeyoucrazy]

Omg, haven't heard this song for a long time, thanks for posting 😊

[@loam5735]

Great to see the original video, brings back lots of memories from the day. Thanks.

[@morestuff75]

I think it’s very atmosphere and I wish it was available to 16 bit sound version for background music in a video game. Something to do with deeply exploring and environment.

[@hannah1948]

wow!! such an amazing band!! still love them!!

[@AllRequired]

We should have listened to them. Now the lines are closed.

[@MultiFloyde]

Great band! The way music should sound! No Bieber crap here !

[@romarovinciguerra5387]

These guys could have been huge hadn't management pressured them for a breakout hit in '86.

[@centralscrutinizer9591]

Great mullet song!!!!

[@davidetienne9404]

I never heard this song on the radio in The States. But this exact version ended up in an episode of Friday The 13th: The Series called, "The Face Of Evil". Even though you can only hear it faintly in the background, that awesome chorus peaked through and captivates. I found Gregg Rolie's version years ago on the internet, after looking up what I thought the chorus lyrics were. Now, just tonight I was watching the show again and noticed that the version they used didn't sound like Gregg Rolie's, and... here I am. Listening to this for the first time.

[@scottcameron9537]

Saw them in concert in 1986 and they sounded exactly like the record....Even the horn section was bang on....Believe or not,maybe 50 people were there for the show..Too bad ....

[@stevenvallarsa1765]

The "Friday the 13th" TV series was filmed in Canada, which is probably why it made it into that episode you mentioned.

[@thalstead7]

Why can’t I find anything of this on I tunes, it’s a crime

[@shepherdkagl2329]

I love both this version and Gregg Rolie's

[@cesarsaezh7307]

muy buen tema, mucho feling en la guitarra, pocas notas pero puestas en su justa medida al igual que los teclado y eso poder en la batería, el bajo ahí justo justo, la voz y los coros sensacionales....

[@kennethh2430]

A co-worker messaged me with, "yolk arrow talk oh belle". I Googled it and this video was one of the results lol. I've never heard of The Arrows until today. Funny, Talk Talk's rhythm and bass line remind me a lot of Billie Jean by MJ. Billie Jean was released in '82 and Talk Talk in '85.

[@defhoez449]

Was the director of this video sleeping with sax player, or at least crushing on him? Why does he get more screen time than the singer as well as all the other band members ?

[@keith0lsen955]

I think it was the custom at the time Just check out 55 seconds after 2 min on this video. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Ddc3IEdllaxc&ved=2ahUKEwiqwb70-ZrqAhUNr54KHd2mDu4Qo7QBMAB6BAgAEAE&usg=AOvVaw0z5ABgwMSn03-u4MtMR_Q1

[@etherlords88]

Is this the original one or the Gregg Rolie's version in his album Gringo?

[@loupblanc99]

This song because it's from 1985 and Gregg Rolie's Gringo it's from 1987.

[@drivenbyrage5710]

I dedicate this song to the United States.

[@ELEcomments]

does anyone have their earlier work? I'm curious about it

[@HouseOfLyftindor]

They only produced one other album, "Stand Back", and it was a year earlier. Before that they made a few singles but you should be able to find them on KZbin easy enough. Here's their discography page: www.discogs.com/artist/325046-The-Arrows

[@vivianvilla598]

I have cassette tapes LOL

[@marguskiis7711]

All 80s stereotypes in one song.

[@guyapril2053]

Wow

[@shutterbug_713]

This song is Yakko Warner's favourite!

[@o0fernand0]
