The Motels Suddenly Last Summer 2021

[@dd2343]

Her voice just hits my soul

[@randyroubal8916]

Martha can still hit all the notes, she's always been an amazing singer

[@kiefferz5556]

I love Martha

[@ponchnunez6082]

Oh yes she has a beautiful voice

[@mariotarradell9553]

Martha still sounds so damn wonderful. Excellent!!!

[@Jesuslover296]

Martha sounds just as good as the 80s! Beautiful voice! I was 11 when her hit Only the Lonely was at the top of the charts. Good memories.

[@louisxiiii]

This song is just perfectly evocative fo the feeling of summer passing too fast. The longing vocals, the soaring keyboards, the ringing guitar. And Martha still looks so pretty.

[@davidcarper5411]

..those summers sure flew by fast

[@tcwhite0104]

at 65 where did they all go......so fast when you look back at them.

[@jeanclaudesegal4581]

wow at age 71 she still gots it. Great vocals

[@johronok4067]

Hauntingly beautiful

[@dongilchrist7385]

Wow,she hasn't changed at all,her voice is perfect.

[@martin_minimalwave]

My favourite Motels track, what a special melancholic melody...

[@toddoverby5538]

Just saw them last night 9-1-22 at a small venue of 325 people. I was 100% blown away. She sings like she is in her prime. I'm a fan. Super impressed. Band is excellent as well and really seemed like they were still having fun. It sounded as good or better than the album. It was one of those performances that sticks with you and you want to tell people about it. They should be playing bigger venues.

[@werquantum]

I know the feeling. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

[@rolltide9547]

Such a perfect 80's song.

[@teresahale7616]

my god they're good. always have been, always will be. love the motels!

[@floydsemlow8253]

How uncanny that this song has held up , and that it sounds and means so much more now than ever 30 some odd years later💯❤️

[@mattb9748]

40 (!) years later!

[@marcykowalchuk5941]

Just love this song still in 2024. Our artists were so good

[@floydsemlow8253]

@marcykowalchuk5941 I absolutely agree 💯♥️

[@brianlowe288]

one of the most evocative voices in pop..........thanks Martha. Still listening

[@dynamandan467]

Brings me back to my early childhood in the 80's, my parents always listening to new music. She still sounds amazing!

[@KingaMuzik]

really impressive. Martha sounds fantastic. She still has that pout to her vocals. That vulnerability. Wow

[@landitazero666yes]

Esa rola es la única que me transporta a mi adolescencia y juventud y me arranca una lágrima son tantas cosas, adoro esa cancion

[@karlhaber1904]

They still have it they took the time to practice obviously one of my favorite songs from a long time ago. In high school in the early eighties, my clock radio would come on in the morning, and I often would hear that woman singing that song. They gave a top drawer performance.

[@SpektorBaal]

Amazing She sounds just like the album.

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

.. Right?

[@johns.4331]

Fantastic song! Iconic Beautiful Woman! That was Pure Awesomeness!

[@WolfRun59]

Still sounds as fresh as the day I bought the album as soon as it was released. Martha, you go girl!

[@pouriasepehrian3832]

how painful it is that even legends and stars get old. No one can escape of that 💔👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SandorVitez]

I'm glad she is still singing, there's only a few female vocalists in pop/rock that stand out in my opinion she is one of them

[@aliceinchainz3003]

i loved this song as a kid lol, oh man, the memories this song holds for me. and i miss my mom every day.....thanxs mom.

[@michaelshinners6847]

I love this song.

[@ramontelle]

Como me gustaría regresar en el tiempo, en 1983, gran tema con extraordinarios músicos y una gran vocalista Martha Davis, su voz está intacta, clara y permanecerá en el tiempo por siempre.

[@GODEED]

Thank-you, SoCalLiveitLive, this is a sight long-awaited! So happy you were able to experience it and thank you for sharing The Motels with us! Motels 2021! Martha!!:) Peace...

[@scottsal66]

The original, time passed and passing now. The memories we all have of one summer that summer.. Ice cream truck music and drizzle. Heat..

[@Keith-h5i]

A hauntingly beautiful song.

[@jerrywestermann4435]

The years are kinder to some than to others.Ageless Martha Davis.Beautiful,keep singing,.honey.

[@bluedragon33x62]

DAAAMN!!! She still rocks!!! AMAZING!!! 😲

[@judedimatteo8942]

I remember hearing this song in the 80s and she was beautiful then and she's still beautiful now

[@MinecraftTuxedoCatPlushChannel]

I love this song it’s amazing

[@jeffjfindley4802]

If any music theory geeks are reading this, the fact that the pre chorus begins on the #11 of the IV chord is absolutely outrageously gorgeous. Also, the instrumental break sounds like it could belong in a Steely Dan tune. Also.... It's just an incredibly haunting and wonderful song that reminds me of being 10.

[@NEntv58]

My god. The pipes are still intact.

[@justmeow927]

Awsome ! Can't believe 2021 still performing. Love the music...

[@andresolivares3042]

espectacular, misma voz, emociona y me lleva a tiempos entrañables.

[@ronniedrake8196]

I won a karaoke contest for 700 dollars for singing that song in front of over 430 people on the beach near pier in san Clemente California first Saturday night in august ill mever forget that night i beat 21 other contestants. So dam vool. Lol live that song. Suddenly. Last summer. Then. Did an encore song. Tainted love where did our love go by. Soft cell thank you and bless you san Clemente for hearing and cheering me

[@robertbyington7715]

So underrated as a singer and as a band

[@felroberto]

What a great performance, this is jewel of the crown in Martha Davies' artistic life.

[@kp-nu1mt]

I saw her a couple years back at Thunder Valley Casino . Rock n Roll Royalty

[@NYNick49]

Bravo, Martha!! Still sounding great!!

[@intrepidvirgo938]

You sound just as great as you did back in the day. Well done Martha!

[@chrisflohr211]

WOW !! THEY STILL KILL IT !! AMAZING !!❤

[@curtismatsune3147]

Her guitar appears to be an inexpensive Epiphone LP Jr. Awesome! They say tone is in the hands.

[@driesanalog4187]

All those memories .... love this song.

[@KevinNedai]

It’s a calming, exciting song that has a 80s soothing tone to it. A Musical Time Machine😎

[@derrekmorgan1940]

Martha has not lost any of her vocal ability considering its been nearly 40 years not many singers can claim that an take in concentration this was a live performance too

[@sheilariley1261]

Sound just as great now as they did back then. Go Martha!

[@davidjones8657]

OMG. She sounds amazing.

[@ericrogal995]

The best!! I love ❤️ The Motels!! Martha is so talented!!!

[@scarbrough.]

Really good live sound after all of these years!

[@WiliiamNoTell]

WOW SHE SOUNDS FANTASTIC !❤

[@starlight0002]

She sounds fantastic. Would love to see them in venues with better sound systems

[@jamescuisinier5616]

Saw them in 85 at radio City, I had front row center seats, truly one of the best evenings in my life, Martha was amazing then and she's amazing now, the boys are in the bed are amazing as well. I wish they would go to the New Jersey area I would love to see them again.

[@jillybean01usa]

Check their tour schedule now-Frenchtown, NJ on there!

[@KBJoetographs]

Sounding great and still hitting the notes! A true 80s gem here. Nice to them participating in the Cruel World Fest.

[@BruceMacLennan-mk1jc]

Man, THAT was great.....

[@GarayCarmina]

My brother Val made a great hit!! One of many!!

[@damnyankeefl]

you got that right !

[@domtam6571]

hearing Martha singing this song brings me right back to when I first heard it.

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Martha Emily!.. She just laughs in the face of Father Time! Still sounding and performing like a 25 yr old at the age of 70!.. Still waiting for you to hit the Napa Valley so I can treat you to a bit of wine tasting at Silver Oak. And bring Marty along as well. Btw, loving the new hair color.. That natural look is you all the way!

[@oldsrocket8841]

Love the drum beat.

[@benjohnson3893]

Beautiful. Thank You!

[@davebrunette6394]

She hasn't lost her beautiful voice!

[@bigbadbillb]

Always loved her voice.

[@bonemachine1975]

I'd love to hear her sing live. So good

[@gageboy14]

Wow she sounds the same. Incredible.

[@garyvandecar2580]

Martha Davis is still gorgeous and man her voice is still strong and beautiful today as it was in the early 1980s.

[@Jesuslover296]

Love the ending w the funky notes!

[@mikepatenaude6414]

My God! So many great memories…..

[@slashgg1501]

the generations that created the music of the 60/70/80s will never be replicable again.bands like Motels (among many) are proof of this....they will remain immortal. Unlike the trash we've been listening to for 30 years now

[@kentbancroft4717]

they sound great.

[@bobamos3628]

Love this song and Martha still has what it takes...

[@terceldude]

I love to look at my early 80s Toyota brochures while listening to this song, especially my rare NZDM ones

[@mjd111]

From One Martha to Another You Are Awesome 🙂❣️✌️

[@marialaurasalomon1595]

En vivo como hace 40 años su voz tan intacta grosaaaaa

[@Allison-cb3bj]

[@tcwhite0104]

WOW Amazing would have loved to have been there..

[@andrewlabat9963]

One of the top female vocalist ever..

[@ninatugaga8668]

Thank you the Motels ❤

[@cpiscopo1]

Wouldn't it be a great double bill summer concert with The Motels and Blondie? Two truly superb female led bands.

[@raycassatta9671]

Motels - Martha still Rocks , Excellent ! ! !

[@CharlieSouzaSongs]

Marty Jourard! Great music!

[@E.B.EntertainmentProductions]

she still sounds amazing 😀

[@abeperez1844]

talked with Martha before they made it and had an audition for a drummer spot for the Motels. I cancelled it because I was playing with John Nelson from Eddy Money. They made it in less then 1 year later and my band broke up with John Nelson. I made a BIG mistake I LOVE the Motels.

[@AlskinsX1-9]

After all these years she still sounds good!

[@markivoygoogy]

AMAZING!!!

[@SpikeSPS]

Isn't it enought that she is a cancer survivor? Does she have to be that talented too? What a woman! What a band!

[@markbarboza1407]

This cassette got so much play time in my car it caught fire, All 4 One is still one of my all time favorites

[@user-qx1zt8mq4q]
