[@sp-cf2lo]

8th grade, L. A., So. Cal. Early 80s', summer vaca., taking bus to the beach .....Fun in the Sun.... different world.

[@amfanmagician]

Beautiful. This is the song that made the world pay attention to The Fixx.

[@jwbradford2003]

Seems like these songs were almost prophecies of a future we know now as our present.Scary sometimes.

[@chanroobi7460]

your comment is from 4 years ago....if you only knew just 4 years ago what today would be like, you would cry.

[@MRAMX390]

Much more than just Pop music. The lyrics are extremely deep and prophetic my friend, unfortunately.

[@mikegrant9441]

My truth tonight. Who would have thought my elevated love for this band could bring me here and to gods love tonight

[@JohnAngel-ig6vl]

Exactly, it's the year of fear!

[@vanessaherber7799]

This was 8th grade. I remember this Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, that Mexican Radio song, o my memory is failing!

[@mackermaldrill2656]

Weren't those good times?

[@CheshireCatNYC]

Wall of Voodoo "Mexican Radio"

[@baffledanderanged2101]

My wonderful daughter introduced me to this song. I'm glad she did.❣️❣️❣️ I prefer to stand.❣️

[@marto880]

Damn, this written in the 80's, you'd swear it was for today.

[@marto880]

The lyrics are so fitting, ex; An empty face reflects extinction Ugly scars divide the nation **Desecrate* the population There will be no exaltation *This happening today, no doubt: des·e·crate verb \ˈde-si-ˌkrāt\ : to damage (a holy place or object) : to treat (a holy place or object) with disrespect des·e·crat·eddes·e·crat·ing Full Definition of DESECRATE transitive verb 1 : to violate the sanctity of : profane 2 : to treat disrespectfully, irreverently, or outrageously

[@jacquelineiona1996]

Big time friend...I was just saying it on a different post. Change words from Euro theater to the United States theater ...and from within! Fools talking about another civil war ...we will not stand ...we will fall. A house divided falls. Bible says that too. This song is powerful. The Police have a few songs like this too. So relevant today

[@jacquelineiona1996]

@@marto880 totally agree

[@11Stucat]

[@parkmingi7635]

Seems like yesterday.Listen children your day will pass to.this was 32 years ago.

[@chanroobi7460]

No kidding! This seemed like yesterday....wish I could go back for just one day.

[@stevekirby5546]

Just think when the Children look back on the music they had, which is crap, I hope they realize that.

[@Lovely-Army707]

great song

[@biggrobb1551]

Seen them in Fresno ca , I think it was 1982

[@sonnydean3187]

One of the first music videos I ever watched on MTV. WW2 themed.

[@JohnAngel-ig6vl]

WW3

[@JohnAngel-ig6vl]

WW2 was long ago this is definitely about WW3.

[@andreapatane4204]

This song from The Fixx may possibly be used to teach musical lessons to the nutty folks in our world that violence is wrong even though it's similar to my song, "Peace" that I wrote 13 years ago when I was a student in high school. 🥂

[@chanroobi7460]

Damn, I forgot about this song! God, it use to be one of my favorites!

[@joepedroza4707]

Thats what i say to myself after too many drinks.

[@selfaware114]

[@Desdinova69]

Crying parents tell their children If you survive, don't do as we did A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to Her daughter says she'll be dead with you While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten Line morale has hit rock bottom Dying embers stand forgotten Talks of peace were being trodden Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight Is this the value of our existence Should we proclaim with such persistence Our destiny relies on conscience Red or blue, what's the difference Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre An empty face reflects extinction Ugly scars divide the nation Desecrate the population There will be no exaltation Stand or fall State your peace tonight Stand or fall State your peace tonight It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre It's the euro theatre Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall Stand or fall

[@JohnAngel-ig6vl]

It's the year of fear! It's the year of Fear!

[@lawandabailey7480]

Hi

[@MPWEST83]

Does anybody know what this song refers to?

[@TheMicturation]

white house,red house,NWO,Euro theatre(vatican) is all the false flags they pepper us with via media,its that and the old rule vs. the new rule,aristocrats and their wars with one another,the song is haunting and its a classic,was from the first time it captivated my young mind in 1982

[@nomorenever2782]

Nuclear war.

[@CliffordWilliams-ht1uh]
