The Perfect Day - Fischer-Z [Music Video]

Young man Gemini lots of sensitivity
Seeks the girl of his dreams sure that eternity's
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Young girl 17 who knows what she could have been
Needs a flat urgently for her child, eternity's
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Something I know, something I know
Please don't tell me something I know
I open my mouth, I try to speak
You come for a day and you stay for a week
Gentle businessman searching for his Peter Pan
Nice house by the Park, wrestles with an aching heart
Far too long lo wait for the Perfect Day
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Something I know, something I know
Please don't tell me something I know
I open my mouth I try to speak
You come for a day and stay for a week
Young mum stuck at home waiting by the telephone
Desperate needs a rest, knows that forever is
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Far too long to wait for the Perfect Day
Something I know, something I know
Please don't tell me something I know
I open my mouth I try lo speak
You come for a day and stay for a week

The 80’s was the best time. The best music. The best generation.

[@gavinscott8903]

Still stands the test of time doesn't it. So much better than 99 per cent of today's so called music

[@anthonycoleman1909]

With respect you are wrong Gavin, it is better than 100% of today's 'music'.

@@kathleenmaclachlan1541 thanks for your reply. It inspired me to watch the video to start my day here in Australia

[@yannicreative4056]

yep totally agree - I sometimes think they create shows like Idol and Got Talent simply because the business is jealous of some of these amazingly perfect songs.

[@markneville9723]

A Great Song It was such a Privilege to grow up during the 80's.

[@timwendelken2444]

Close to the most under rated song of the ‘80’s.

[@mariogismondi7712]

I heard this song as a teenager. It still hits my heart today that I am in my fifties. It is not just a song for me but a comment on human nature. Our hopes, our dreams and how our future can turn out so differently from what we had envisaged. Only if the world would just reflect together on a song like this we would see how futile wars and all the other things we do unto ourselves are. We need to cherish our time here and now and do our best for ourselves and for others.

[@b577960]

OMG moment. You can’t tell me Billy Joel didn’t rip this song off when he wrote ‘We didn’t start the fire’ the verse melody is identical.

[@glennphillips843]

For sure

[@jollyjetsetter]

Positive proof that there was significant life in the band beyond the release of the high water mark Red Skies Over Paradise

[@kevinhabershon5736]

Saw them at the Reading Festival in 1980.......very underrated band

[@MaxRPM]

Why has this channel only got 3.1 Subs!!!! Come on guys. Bring on the 80's!!! Cheers FZ!!!!!!

I like exploring the lyrics and derive meaning from them. Life's a difficult game. A wise man gets to enjoy a perfect day.

[@shaunminahan9921]

Wow. Just . . . . Wow!

[@BxTekNurd]

Holey hell.. Heard this on the radio this morning 😁 Memories...

[@glennphillips843]

Me too ❤

[@MP-id2po]

This song epitomizes what a classic pop song is all about. Rhythm, simple lyrics, great song structure, tension, and melody, melody, melody and even more melody. It's an art form lost on today's songwriters.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

agreed mate...agreed

[@theonlytruered]

Yes totally

[@bonovoz71]

Brilliant. I'll be playing this song for another 36 years and still loving it.

[@susanmcqueen6983]

Still dance 80's style in my loungeroom to this one.

[@pedroellis5360]

Best decade on earth history 😂

[@alanburge4798]

Great song. So long also is a classic. Great band

[@user-nd3ru1gg4l]

I love so long too

[@waynedunn1108]

My favourite song from the album.most people will remember them for so long I'll play that never new wave was a great time for music takes me back to jjj I miss these bands Susie and the banshees magazine goth music like bauhaus all the old punk stuff as well it was a great time for music

[@warrenbowen6223]

I have a very clear memory of my dad singing this in the car while it played on the radio with me as a small kid (maybe 5) in the passenger seat. It was clearly a manic episode and probably the most animated I remember him ever being. It was so out of character and so much fun. One of my favourite memories work my dad.

[@realmarcio2029]

Oh my God!This song makes me cry and feel deeply emotional when I hear the chorus, and especially the final part, I love this melody and I really like John Watts' voice, I recognize truth and sincerity in his voice, for me it is the best Fischer Z song, I would like had been the best known song of the band and had been more successful! Something I know, something I know Please don't tell me something I know I open my mouth I try to speak You come for a day and stay for a week YOUNG MAN Gemini lots of sensitivily Seeks the girl of his dreams sure that eternily's Far too long, Far too long

[@Tommyblueeyes]

agreed mate, he always hit a chord with me...I'm a musician now, and I still go back to songs like this and "So LOng"

[@yannicreative4056]

This is one of my all time favourite songs - yes emotion and feeling. That's what music should do - it's not about the artist but the art. perfect.

[@stephenbramley5334]

What a great band and good memories of the time x

[@SchulzTrain]

Love this band! Talk about people wanting different.. this band done that! And they did it magnificently .. I was always on a journey when I listened..! Great band

[@dennismcandrew2628]

Loved So Long so captivating. Need to listen to the rest of their music. Born January 69 and growing up as the youngest of 4 , I was dreaming of meeting Kate Bush every night nearly for years after she raunched the screens in 77 . Still can't ever catch up with the superb music of the 70's 🤘✌️🤲

Me to mate. My teen's started in 1981. What I'd give to go back.

[@johnstimpson6834]

Thankyou, I was listening to this cd when it first came out 88' .. they were perfecting a.i. during the 80/90s. I'm astonished. That was round 40yrs ago, they are already 60yrs?? ahead..good grief does anybody know about ai ,programming or know what I'm talking about? Gotta say it, this is an unusual song during that period. Or I'm looking too much into things 'man kicks dog' context

[@TheAxelay]

I remember briefly hearing Fischer-Z's "Perfect Day" back in 1987 but the track barely ever got played though here in Australia..I was probably 9 years old at the time but this track hit me like a ton of bricks though as my days even as a kid would start going down badly through no fault of my own (idiot parents etc) so it struck a profound cord...Perhaps this song was too bitterly sweet for my country to handle back in that time as Australia was the lucky country so no realism nor negativity which I regard as pure realism. So we instead brought up all of John Farnham's feel good stuff instead and look where we are now in 2019+?! After 32 years, this track is hard cold reality which might not seen to be relevant in so-called happy 80's era but it's more relevant in this lousy 21st century etc. "LAAAAARRR URGGGHHH ATTTT AGRRRAAAAHH?!!".

[@68404]

@Goughs Bastard There was a wonderful subculture of alternative music in the 80s. True, the FM stations rarely or never played that music (and still don't). They still refer to Depeche Mode as a one hit wonder band *shakes head*. Sadly FM stations have the same bands from there on rapid rotation still (Barnes, Chisel, INXS, blah blah blah).

[@JordyJayHomer]

My memory is that it did get a reasonable amount of air play. It was a bigger hit here in Aus than in the UK, as was So Long. Perhaps we DO have decent taste :)

[@JordyJayHomer]

@Goughs Bastard Incidentally, the 1982 song "Radio" by The Members was only a hit in Australia. That's a farkin grouse song. I can't believe it wasn't a hit in the UK

[@JordyJayHomer]

@Aaron Brunning Yep, I remember it well. It was one of the early, mainstream rap songs. Are you saying it's not a great song that charted here in Australia? :-)

[@JordyJayHomer]

@Aaron Brunning no, I haven't heard that song on radio for many years. I'd say it's not 'normal' enough for mainstream radio, even the retro stations. According to Wikipedia, it reached number 30 in Australia and 26 in the UK. I used to hear Perfect Day occasionally on Gold FM in Melbourne, but I haven't listened to that station for a long time.

[@aizunokami5639]

One of the best songs from the album Reveal

[@JCStorm76]

THE best

[@Hyperno47]

While this is an awesome track and as someone from the 80s I think the era is timeless. I honestly believe that one of the reasons this track did so well in Australia is because the lead singer honestly sounds like James Reyne.

[@bonniebianco5918]

really ? there is the throat sound .it's similar but no-one i know thought this was james reyne.

[@Hyperdrive500]

+bonnie bianco He also happens to be my second cousin

[@bonniebianco5918]

HuwTube has he been twice removed?

[@Hyperdrive500]

+bonnie bianco Dunno. he's my dad's cousin, though. Good joke, anyhow. Sad really, His dad died last year. Him and my dad did a duet at the funeral.

Yeah but this guy ( John Watts ) can actually sing with his mounth open.
