still goosebumps.... 2024

[@Y-gq9sl]

One of the most beatifull songs of 80's!

[@MrPenguin-tw1rk]

Adrian Borland stated that Total Recall was his favorite song to play live, according to an interview I have read.

[@EricAdams-n9i]

I started listening to this band last year, cant believe they didnt get the recognition they deserve. These guys sounded amazing. Rip adrian borland. Life gets tough but dont ever let it destroy you. Embrace the journey & make a big impact. Help & love others.

[@massivegat5087]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Pure beauty and passion.

[@ceespaul2024]

"A distant victory" - to write this and be listened to 40 years later...[and how I still love it all]

[@massivegat5087]

I keep that line on a little piece of paper in my wallet. I've written down a lot of Adrian's lyrics and keep them in my possession. When life gets painful, and it often does; I simply open my wallet, unfold my little piece of paper and smile at those words.

[@ceespaul2024]

@@massivegat5087 I think I will do that too - again

It's all such a blur when time goes so quickly Trying to hang on to the way that you'd like things to stay You trace back the seconds recall the details From someone will, to someone does To someone did, you know I did Oh there must be a hole in your memory But I can see I can see, a distant victory A time when you will be with me You cut me off just as I was starting to speak The language you keep hidden away It's just like the question on everyone's lips But it's not on mine Where all you'll find is a twisted smile From another time Another time, another time Oh there must be a hole in your memory But I can see I can see, a distant victory A time when you will be with me Another time, another time Oh there must be a hole in your memory But I can see I can see, a distant victory A time when you will be with me There'd be another time, another time Oh there must be a hole in your memory But I can see I can see, a distant victory A time when you will be with me I can see, that there's got to be another time It's got to be

Thank you so much 💓

[@ceespaul2024]

thanks for writing it out!

[@StuartHurry]

I'm new to The Sound - such a great song. So glad I've found them!

[@johnsoro1994]

That ending always get me, how many lives he might have saved with his band and music, well I am here today thanks to them.

[@blackgargamel]

This masterpiece wasn't even a single.

[@clairekilduff5930]

Noone even knows this band.

[@gabrielceballos8789]

unfortunate i know they deserved better

[@liljoeyA123]

I have shared this band to 4 people in person so far, and will continue to show them to everyone i feel needs this as much as i did. Thank you, The Sound.

[@arnob3455]

Total underrated masterpiece. This track keeps haunting me in 2023. This mix of despair & hope is quite hearttouching. And what to say about melody and Borland’s voice… Relative unsuccess of the sound is still a mystery for me. Hope you’ve found peace above Adrian.

[@mack4496]

This is a very underated band! More peeps need to hear them.

[@pedropablogonzalez68]

demasiado especial tan sencillo y tan emocionante sólo el sonido no le hacían falta las apariencias sólo....el sonido gracias Adrian😊

[@lusimo65]

Wonderful song, one of the most touching songs of this incredible band.

[@franvaquerizo9763]

Long life The Sound. One of the best bands for me. 🖤😎🤘

[@lisap3643]

the bass and the passion in his voice!!!

[@michaeltonny]

The power in the vocal make this a fucking evergreen

[@davidbarnes4772]

The Sound were a remarkable and really underrated band. Wonderfully put together tunes, haunting lyrics and music that tugged at the soul. I saw that one bloggist saw the Sound opening for Midnight Oil. I'm surprised it wasn't MNO opening for the Sound.

[@markstubington798]

Adrian was just very unassuming I'm guessing the rest chill

[@ΠαλαιολόγουΒασίλειος]

One of the best tracks ever!

[@miker881]

Stunning song, hugely underrated

[@pedropablogonzalez68]

cada vez que me encuentro en horas bajas,los vuelvo a escuchar para mi son la cura,el remedio

[@jftruthseeker989]

This song gives me the chills , so good , and the reflections of my own life

[@gabrielceballos8789]

beautiful

[@mkmstillstackin]

great song, and even greater lyrics.....still smashes all these years later!

[@AnetteRoller]

What an anthem. Spirals directly into my soul.

[@Adam_Oreo98]

So beautiful and pure.

[@MrLion1]

Rest in peace Adrian ❤️

[@lordclaret5075]

Although they never got the credit for it - Borland and The Sound truly crystallised the post-punk genre. I find something new in the music and lyrics every time I revisit them :)

[@massivegat5087]

In my opinion they are THE post punk band. Nobody even really comes close for me. Nobody to match the intensity and emotional honesty of a frontman like Adrian. Nobody to match the raw beauty and talent as a musician and songwriter. The Sound simply had it all!

[@rimamirdas3640]

❤❤❤

[@billybuenafe7634]

effin evegreen.. you made the world a better place with your songs Adrian, RIP

[@whereispie]

Wow again, i can discover new epic tracks from The Sound more and more

[@Edbup1]

Obra de arte, mi tema favorito de The Sound, ¡gracias por la música, Adrian! ♫♪♫♪

[@clemtunes]

Saw The Sound open for Midnight Oil at the Hammersmith Palais July 8th 1985 when on a trip from the US...Feel blessed to see both bands at their peak...Man The Sound/Adrian were as good as any other band from the 80's IMO..thanks for up loading these so i done have to flip my LP's over half way..Cheers

[@johnnykempt]

Was in London during that gig. Missed it. Saw them record Hothouse at the Marquee soon after

[@mamunjbazurigaev]

Absolutely massive song. 🤯🤯

[@fairyfrusciante]

nothing but love

[@davidellis5141]

Que buena rola man

[@etherealcircus]

every song by the sound , gives the pains of beatiful adrian to me and ım sorry i cant really handle :(

[@markbasore7988]

Greatest Band Ever

[@charivari135]

Thank's!!

[@thedrownedinsound2]

Brilliant.!!

[@robhaunui3343]

Such a timeless song,it never gets old. Should've been the title track to the old Arnie film "Total Recall" or even that poxy remake.

[@amparocompany8063]

Que años quien pudiera volver atrás aunque fuera breve instante solo tengo Buenos recuerdos más que buenos los mejores

[@sylvaindeltour7954]

Excellent !!!

It's all such a blur when time goes so quickly Trying to hang on to The way that you'd like things to stay.

[@raulcano7216]

Timeless!!!

[@a0404009]

Música Perfeita! Uma obra de arte.

[@franciscomendonca2494]

Uma Obra de Arte!❤ Era a música que eu colocava nas comemorações do meu casamento...

[@johnduncan9253]

I must confess, I thought they were getting a little lethargic after the masterpieces of From The Lions Mouth and Jeopardy, however this track was clearly a return to the lyrical gems from those earlier times. How this crew never made it will remain ever as one of lifes greatest mysteries.

[@seoulrevilla]

cool...

[@crrimini64]

È bellissima

[@sliversilverfox]

I wish I had a copy of this album

[@SadikLaFluer]

Only song that I heard from the sound and it’s amazing. Tried listening to their other songs but couldn’t get into them not like this song…. Must be the relatability factor to the lyrics and the way that this song is composed is just brilliant. But I don’t see myself feeling the same for the rest oh well I guess that’s good enough for me

[@gabrielceballos8789]

Every single song he's written has moved me deeply, to each his own

[@ANGELEXTERMINADOR100]

GREAT.

[@sup3rkangkong]

whatever happened to mandaluyongboy's videos? total recall had nearly a million views last time i saw it

[@tomo366]

Really?

[@sup3rkangkong]

@@tomo366 yeah that dude had a lot of solid 80s postpunk/new wave tracks on his channel, he also had the most viewed video of New Order's Temptation's 12 inch version before it got taken down, i reckon around 5m views

[@ThePierrasse]

Better than "Love Will Tear Us Apart" or "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"

[@julianguerrero7505]

absolute facts

no

[@franciscomendonca2494]

Não.
