Red Skies and Saved by Zero are two great songs from these guys.

[@surlechapeau]

fyi, they reacted to Saved By Zero Feb 12, 2022.

[@ItsVincentAgain]

definitely Saved By Zero

[@76marex]

there are so much more better songs and not only the most famous ones

[@saramatthews7159]

Saved by zero just takes me to another place...

[@Atomykpimp]

1000 percent agreed!!!

[@thomasmcginnis2782]

The Fixx has always been ahead of their time and very underrated. A lot of truth about society's ills in their music. The Phantom Living album got me hooked years ago.

[@wompa70]

"Reach the Beach" is a great album. I love the cover. The Fixx might be the most funk of all the new wave bands.

[@chrisa4695]

The Jo Boxers and Madness were funkier but did not have much longevity. Duran Duran was exceptionally funky.

[@takemyshoesoff3350]

I had that cassette back in the day

[@mts982]

In our 2012 interview with The Fixx lead singer/lyricist Cy Curnin, he explained the meaning of this song, which deals with malleable politicians. "If you're going to be a liar, you'd better be a damn good liar and remember what you said, or the whole thing's going to get pear shaped," said Curnin. "That was 30 years ago, and look where the system is now. A lot of people stand on ballot boxes and say a lot of things and lie in order to get elected and do nothing. So those songs I'm pretty proud of."

[@rorygrime1202]

Every politician since I was young, when they speak. U just know that they are doing the exact opposite.

[@krishoffman3444]

[@rorygrime1202]

@@Straydogger the thing is. The people know they r human. Humans make mistakes, or error in judgements. I would tell it like it is. Try to keep our legal citizens safe. Then look into trades with other countries, keep our work force strong. If there is a foreign country that wants to produce here in the states. They must hire all American citizens. Plus their profit would be taxed at the US rate. They will be responsible for safety measures for employees and machinery.

[@geno1825]

Just like the other great songs The Fixx like Red skies or stand or fall is about nuclear war etc. The songs/lyrics have a meaning love bands like this plus the fact they can really sing play instruments really good & loved lot of bands in the 1980's wish I could go back stay there

[@kellifranklin9872]

These guys were that New Wave/Rock sound that became popular in the mid 80s. A distinct sound with good songwriting. They have a few bangers. Great rabbit hole to go down!

[@christophermckinney3924]

Just a great f***ing song even now. I was 15 when this came out and I remember it hit number 1 on Christmas Day and I listened to it on my Sony Walkman radio which I got as a Christmas gift.

[@captaincapitalism264]

This was a great addition to the early 80s New Wave: catchy, dance-ready, and cool-sounding. Even metalheads like me appreciated it back then.

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, their "Stand or Fall" and “Red Skies” are next for you!! This band was quite the breathe of freshness in music!

[@Lige]

Agreed! Nobody sounds like them.

[@mkmstillstackin]

Thumbs up to both those tunes!

[@dggydddy59]

Stand Or Fall and Secret Separation are two of their very best, as far as I'm concerned.

[@karlsmith2570]

Saved By Zero is another one that should be on the list if songs by "The Fixx" to react to

[@joesmith8725]

@@karlsmith2570 They actually done that one as well on another new wave stream months ago, they seem to like it. This one was reacted to on a more recent new wave stream last month, they liked this one, too.

[@NoCanDu]

Brad is on the right track! It’s about politicians!

[@mrkelso]

So, it's we the people getting fisted?

[@beezysbeatz4924]

Man I saw these guys open for INXS back in 1987 with my high school sweetheart and future ex-wife/baby momma. The 80's were fun!

[@joepaskowski9091]

Reminds me of 8th grade math class. Old man Mr Cochrane used to say ‘one thing leads to another’ while doing algebra equations. Then the whole class would start bouncing and singing this tune-causing Mr Cochrane to get angry and lose his place in the lesson! Lol

[@tomtompkins7546]

I saw these guys open for the police in about 1983 for the synchronicity tour. They were great.

[@versetripn6631]

Didn't know THEN what this song would mean NOW! Another FIXX cut that matches all the Rabbit Hole banter... 'Deeper and Deeper'

[@lisaprince6996]

Even at that time, I thought The Fixx were different… in a good, cool way!

[@bryansproles2879]

Very 80's and one of their biggest hits. Another great song from The Fixx is Saved By Zero.

[@mikecaetano]

Those slashing guitars are what struck me the first time I heard this song on the radio back when it was new. "Red Skies" is another banger from The Fixx. I saw them open for The Police back in 1985. On stage the singer made these strange hand gestures that reminded me of David Byrne of Talking Heads.

[@bluecalix]

This song is so goddamn infectious! Even Brad is moving.

[@robertwilson2007]

This song brings back memories of my childhood when this song was on the radio all the time. I miss those simpler times, no smart phones, no internet and only land lines for phone calls. If you wanted to find someone you had to get up off your ass and go find them. Everyone made plans ahead of time. If you wanted time alone or alone with someone else, no interruptions. Good Times !!!!

[@joesmith8725]

@@robertwilson2007 Well, a few people had "mobile/car" phones back in the '70s, '80s and early '90s. They were big and clunky, expensive, limited and mainly only drug dealers, yuppies, doctors, lawyers, military/cops, FBIs, government, rich people had them lol. But you are right about everything else.

[@williamsmith1399]

The bass riff in this song is so darn good! Catchy hook and really good vocals.

[@vrvaughn]

The Fixx, The Call, INXS, The Clash… ah, the Clash… need a lot more of these bands… but then again, they’ve completely overlooked earlier bands like Cactus and Spirit and The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart as lead singer

[@norwegianblue2017]

Nice little list there. Good stuff.

[@sheilathailand1903]

The Clash! Yes!!

[@renniegrant989]

KILLER band. These guys are super talented. Still playing and still sound amazing.

[@BudandBloomWithBlossom]

They're still playing?? Oh wow!

[@OronOfMontreal]

The Fixx had a few terrific hits in the 1980s. A-level New Wave band! Their singer had a very Celtic sound to his voice, and there were many such voices at the time, it was a popular vocal sound.

[@clayboutin400]

One of the many bands of the 80's who had their own distinct sound that as soon as you heard just a few cords of the song you knew it was The Fixx.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

infectious as heck and just gets me moving

"Deeper And Deeper" is Badass! The Fixx

[@jackolson8775]

Red Skies Tonight is probably my fav from these guys. Kinda like grunge, its more the 'production style" than the actual style of music when it comes to New Wave. Most bands were vastly different from each other, but Id say the 1 thing they did have in common was the use of synthesizers or electronic drums which were just becoming more user friendly in the 80s.

[@jeffreekoch9298]

And usually good bass guitars. 🎸

[@artis1969]

They were ahead of the curve even among synth type bands. They cut their own path. There's no one like them.

[@chrisa4695]

I agree to an extent. We associate synthesizers with New Wave but they were common in all forms of popular music going back to the early 70’s. With New Wave, the synthesizers were the most prominent instrument not mainly filling the background like a string section. With some bands, they were the only instrument. New Wave songs were much shorter 3-5 minutes than prog or hard rock. Many of the singers had similar styles. Yes, there was more variety in New Wave than some other types of popular music.

[@henrywallace7996]

@@chrisa4695 You’re describing synth-pop not new wave. New wave = The Clash, Buzzcocks, Blondie, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello etc.

[@chrisa4695]

@@henrywallace7996 The Clash was Punk. Blondie and The Talking Heads were considered New Wave but to me neither fit neatly into any one category. I think of synth pop as latter day Hall & Oates, The Producers, EMF, Simply Red.

Such a great song. It reminds me of when I was a kid in the 80s.

Ok, now this is a great band and I'm pretty picky. The singer is awesome and writes great lyrics and the guitarist is well known in the guitar community. Did a lot of work with Tina Turner and others. They had some great tunes! One of my favorites is Beautiful Friction. The guitar is a haunting riff. Definitely a good pick Brad and Lex! I want to state right here and now that you two ROCK!

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

They just released a new album and are currently on tour so, great timing!

[@chrisa4695]

They were a great band in an era of many great bands. They were tagged with the new wave label. But, like the Police, U2, REM, and The Alarm, their music and lyrics was much broader.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Yay - The Fixx, and this is a good intro to this Eighties, British Frontline Cold War band. Most of their sound reflects plenty of WWWIII Anxiety. This song is about anything habit-forming. STAND OR FALL, RED SKIES, and SAVED BY ZERO are recommended (their music videos usually explain the lyrics rather well).

[@jamielandis4308]

I’m not sure when this came out but I do remember it being huge at the frat parties my first year in college. Hearing it instantly snaps me back to 1983-84.

[@willybubba]

In another life, when I was young, dumb and stupid (as opposed to now being old, dumb and stupid), this was one of the most popular songs played at a strip club where I used to shoot pool in Waikiki while stationed at Pearl Harbor in the US Navy.

I had the 45 record for The Fixx's 'Are We Ourselves', which is a great song, but 'Deeper and Deeper' on the flip side I played equally.

Love The Fixx growing up. 🎸 🕺 They had very lots of good songs during the '80s and early '90s. They have a funky, R&B, ska/reggae feel to lot of their songs such as this one. New wave, post-punk draws from punk influences, but also added synthesizers and good bass guitars to punk rock, drums, which makes it rhythmic. Danceable. Bands like Talking Heads, Gang of Four, Devo, Romeo Void, The Pretenders, Blondie, Inxs, U2, Oingo Boingo, The Police, Adam and The Ants, Duran Duran, Modern English, Joy Division/New Order, Siouxee and the Banshees, Falco, and more, yall should check them out. Which influenced today bands like The Killers, Arcade Fire, Interpol, Metric, Bloc Party, Santigold, No Doubt/Gwen Stefani and others you should check out, too. Look more into the Fixx. I think you only done 2 songs so far. This one and "Saved By Zero". Also lot of songs back then were about The Cold War, politics. New wave and punk songs has a lot sarcastic and melancholy songs about politics and other topics.
