I turned 60 this year. This goes nicely with “ save a prayer “ by Duran Duran on my playlist. 🙂

[@kristinasheehan7408]

Thanks for reminding me. That song is an audible meltdown, and abandoned person and vulnerability . You would have to be void of a heart and or a soul to not allow to fill you. What kind of song might actually even sound better if you close your eyes with me that’s a little bit difficult since I’m prone to crying a lot especially when trapped in my adoration of the 80s. I’m not a psycho. I’m just trying to make light of admittedly being trapped if not willingly residing in the 80s. Thank God a lot of my friends feel the same way. 🫶

[@MaxxLargeMaxx]

As a child in the 60's I didn't care for the selection until The first time I heard Black Sabbath. I am today a Metal on air personality. There are more than 230 sub-genre of Metal, I did not leave anything in the past that I want, except the music. PROGRESS is the spice of life. I come to these time tunnels and get a FIXX of the past, BUT that's just what it is, "the past." Tonight I will in one hour of air time lay down nothing but an auditory onslaught of the hardest metal from unsigned local bands that anyone has witnessed, but not so hard as to not be able to communicate at least in grunts and hand signals. Do any of you have the slightest inkling of a brain fart left to comprehend the hours of grueling, ear abuse one must endure becoming even slightly aware of the nuances of recognition in order to even realize 230 different base sound ideas of ONE "type" of music, METAL MUSIC. I can already see the replies, talking about understanding the words, the guitar is just a wall of noise, or how can anything that carries 240 BPM can't be called music. None of that matters when your mind is free to sponge every sound individually in all that noise. So I leave you all with this one thought. I bid Peace in YOUR life today for YOU and all those YOU care for and care about. MetalMaxx

[@takafumiarisawa70]

+Ed Maddox As a chiid in the 90's I didn't care for anything really, I was (and i'm) a pretty dull person but I always liked "that kind o' sound" I didn't even know what it was but it was harder than anything else and it got even harder when I learned what it was. You see, my Brother always had some Sabbath, Alice C and some 90's stuff I never cared about and he didn't like to share with his little brother because "that's lame" but he had this friend, an exchange student from Finland. this guy had some pretty neat albums with him. the first time we met I was playing Doom II...well sorta playing I was listening to the music like I usually did before I unleashed mayhem on those fucking demons. I didn't even notice this guy at first but then he said something like "why aren't you playing eh" and I told him I was listening to the music (Shawn's Got The Shotgun) and then he said "Oooh you like metal too?!" metal like guns I said and then he proceded to explain to me what it was...I had around 7 or 8 years at the time and I couldn't let go...I picked Drumming and broadened my musical tastes a bit at 14 or so. I remember this time when we had to play any song we liked. Naturally I picked War ensemble because I knew it by heart. after playing my teacher asked me why did I pick such a harsh, noisy and humorless song and I told him "Well you asked me to perform something I liked...I mean if you asked me to play something else i would have to do it by obligation pretty much like this uniforms we wear...This kind of music is liberating, energic or anything really but it is what I wanted to play because it makes me feel GOOD...Body and MInd and that something else we get when we do stuff we like...what you find polarizing I might find it pleasing but in the end if we close our eyes it all becomes senseless sound but sound with a meaning" Needless to say I was kinda high at the time of that test but yeah...he bought all that blabble that could only make sense to oneself but he did get what I meant and banned The hard stuff (not because of him but because of sound complaints and the like)...They were shit outta luck because I Fucking Love Buddy Rich.

Dirty Honey, Greta Van Fleet, The WKND, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran are all putting out some solid music. Some of it is retro but heck Tainted Love was a retro motown song.

Indeed. 80s rock, Ronald Reagan, a secure career, loving wife and precious little kids, working and living where I'd dreamed of working and living, the 80s were a dream come true - really. Haven't experienced anything like it since. I grew up with 60s rock, which in terms of its output and the number of talented bands popping up literally everywhere was absolutely unmatched -- even though we could've done without all the tumult going on across the nation. While I can look back on the 70s and still pick out plenty of good songs from that decade, as a nation we were sorta lost and burned out, and so I considered most POP music in the 70s unimaginative. Thank God for progressive rock; that tided me over until the 80s, which as a magical decade for music and an "era of good feelings."

"It was about looking at your own life, not so much about amassing material things but about experiences that lend you to be blissful... The song was written from the point of view of the release you get when you have nothing left to lose. It’s sort of a meditation. It clears your head of all fears and panics and illusions and you get back to the basics, which is a Buddhist mantra, which I practiced back then, and which I still do.

+senay J ..me too, graduated HS in 1986. Good times, good music...good memories..sure miss those days between 1982-1988.

[@paranormalexperiencezwitha1526]

+mom2kathryn so do i

[@JohnnyUtah15]

+mom2kathryn I graduated in '86 as well. Can't believe it's been 30 years! Feels like 10 years instead. What a good time I had with my brother and friends.

[@ericsmith4603]

They were good times. great music too.

[@surfshack2]

Love it. I was 15 in 1983. Omg i wanna go back. The 80's were so great!

[@oliviaannornelas2124]

I would bring back the ‘80’s music back if I could. The best music then and not the crap that’s out today!

[@Gcanno]

Their are literally thousands of different ways to get great Music if you don't prefer what's considered mainstream try Kcrw many alternative music formats that could be streamed

[@nero8419]

Music is not about talent and art anymore, just money money money, everything in this world is about money, very sad time, miss the 80s, 90s, and the 2000s❤️🤘

[@thecocktailian2091]

Big market, mass media music it could be said. But there will always be musicians who play for the love of music. There will always be tons of musicians who put out great music that few will hear. You Tube has plenty of fine musicians that will never make it big, yet are better than their mass media counterparts.

[@SheriFromDetroit]

My 80's days❤❤🎉

[@ThokoXaba]

I remember when this came out, Love this album.

[@CurlyQLink]

I was in college at Western Illinois University when I saw The Fixx in concert back in 1983. They Rocked back then and they still Rock today and I a 56 years old!

[@MrNostalgic]

No doubt, the FIxx are a cool band. Cy Curin

[@MaxxLargeMaxx]

56 is a great age. But only for another 2 months for me. FIXX was a giant and still are somewhat.

[@nelsoncook551]

Curly Q. Link love the fixx

[@mos8541]

graduated in 1983 From West Chicago HS, in western burbs of Chicago, on FB as Steven J Anderson, or hit me up on Google, im STUCK IN THE 80s , mainly Metal, but i do like certain techno, pop, etc. songs, hey i like what i like

[@micklouck8328]

I was at that concert !

[@RobertPapale]

What a song saved by zero

[@donnam9288]

I haven't heard this since the 80's - love it ♥️

[@ddgracia15]

I meet the Cy in the late 90’s after a outdoor concert in Las Vegas. I had dropped my cell phone and waited for crowd to leave to look for it, the band came out from the side stage and I got Cy’s autograph and took a picture with him. Coolest dude ever 😎

[@kx8269]

Cu is the most important musician / The FiXX underrated of the 80,s!

[@Cynthia-eu7yu]

I was definitely saved by zero❤; experience over materialism. Thanks Fixx and Buddha.❤

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

Saw these guys at Hollywood Park in 83 at the last Police concert. They were amazing. Thompson Twins played with them. AMAZING concert.

[@ericz8318]

1983 a great year for tunes!!!!

[@Hot80s]

as bono said "this is the golden age"

[@robertallen6710]

..all the 80's almost...

[@bradbartak5468]

Alot of good memories of the 80s. The message in this song is to be ready for anything & to be self sufficient!

[@soleast1075]

Was living in Zweibrucken Germany when this song came out. 1983 was a fun year!

[@jokelly1926]

the 80's were a blast in Europe. I was in K town at the time.

[@soleast1075]

I remember K town I think the bus stopped there on the way to the red light district in Frankfort lol. You are right From England to Amsterdam 80's in Europe were a blast..

[@volvo1354]

Colman Kaserne Gelnhausen 4/18 infantry!

[@mastersmb]

I was in England at Woodbridge RAF. I miss England and going over to Germany, every 6 months.

[@Kazilikaya]

1983 was a fun year but also a very dangerous year. Luckily it ended quietly instead of in an apocalyptic nuclear war.

[@jhhayes7241]

The Fixx was underrated. The different sounds and their vocals/chorus were all hypnotizing. Nowadays, a few artists are incorporating more of the 80's sound /vibe into their music, which is a good thing. There are many great artists out today who have an outta-the-box artistic vision, but the 80's were clearly the best decade for pop diversity.

[@gangstaman2069]

You're 100% on spot

[@SoapinTrucker]

The 80's, when individuality was celebrated, respected, and allowed. 💯😎👍

[@BeeBumper]

Individuality? Big hair, tons of bright makeup and shoulder pads. Nah not as individual as you remember

[@sugarfreejones]

One of the best 80s basslines ever. Amazing synth work as well.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

It's kind of the guitar hook that stands out. The tone on that guitar is incredibly unique on this and many other Fixx songs.

[@billykelly1013]

Stop the Philosophical Zombies The guitar sound was so distinct. Could hear it’s influence for years.

[@Angelica09184]

Love this song and won’t ever forget it. Traveling back in time reliving good memories. We won’t ever forget the awesome 80s era.

[@michellehargreaves5852]

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

Probably one of THE most beautiful pieces of music ever created. I don't know what the lyrics pertain to, but the music is emotional beyond words.

[@sdnavyblue72]

It is about the movie Tron.😊

[@kinggreen5424]

the early 80s people saw an eery, post-apocalyptic, sleek, monolithic vision of the future, so far ahead of its time that it never truly came to be. looking back now, its like a collective dream everyone had and were looking to express. this song/video really does a good job of encapsulating that otherworldly aesthetic.

[@georgesonlinemusicinstruct2017]

Very well put king green

[@debowiec3]

This is a great track for listening to whilst jogging.....yes, it has that "other-worldly" feel to it...

[@lisap3643]

This is so true!

[@MrExodus]

Very well put!

[@jimming6717]

There is definitely a mood that is evoked, at least for me. Several songs come to mind.. of course the Fixx but also earlier Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Naked Eyes, Talk Talk, Heaven 17, Duran Duran.. Thomas Dolby "One of our Submarines".. layer upon layer of synths and effects creating this warm yet distant and dark feeling. Totally lost today!

[@melissabee4152]

So grateful that The Fixx can put my feelings into words.

[@jointeffort]

@zdavidzz bro what 💀

[@donavonmacallister3101]

Listened to this on the school bus.

[@carrang-r9w]

we listened to Roxsette

[@ChicagoDeepHouseHead]

I grew up in Chicago during this time and even the house djs back then would play this on the radio and in the clubs. Even till this day you still have many of the true house creator djs from Chicago who will from time to time re-edit these classics. One of my favorite cuts indeed.

[@Tamburello_1994]

When WLS played music.

[@chuckbrowning1612]

The 80’s was one hell of a ride,my head is still spinning!!!

[@yuri04teixeira]

Wow! I listen to this since the early 90's (their records were very rare to find in Brazil, we exchanged cassette records at the time) , and never saw the video until today. Let's all give thanks to this KZbin era!!...

[@yuri04teixeira]

In time: this beautiful song seems even more deep and melancholic, now that I have seen the video.

[@rocketman63]

I agree, I've always loved the haunting feel of this song.

[@johnc.griffinjr.4508]

I love the flow of this song.

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Wasn't a huge Fixx fan, but they had a few songs I liked, this one being one of them.

[@kpzrocks]

when this song was popular,,, it was the best time of my life. Great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Trancegirl1966]

thanks for your post, that is how I feel...I was a young teen in the eighties, all these great hits full of passion...I miss them all...

[@jay64stang]

I'll never forget my first skateboard. It was called the "Radd Ratt" like the band.

[@BobbyNewb]

Mine as well.

[@bradcamis]

People who get this song sometimes cry when they hear it... It's about that one person you encountered at some obscure point in your life, who said that one certain thing that saved your life - and they usually never even know it... It's also about how much of an impact being that one kind stranger can be.

[@tyronehammock8741]

love and pain move not in were time we want

[@inkpenguy]

According to Cy, the song was actually inspired by Buddhism and is basically about being released from constraints by having nothing to lose.

[@charleswooten9945]

FiaT LuX thank you for your comment and I agree with you one hundred and 10%

[@fairportfan2]

It's about Doctor Who...

[@jeffboggs8086]

One of the best concert I have ever been to. The Fixx and the Police in 84 in Lexington KY Ruoo Arena. Had no idea I wouldn't be able to see the Police again for over 40 years

[@bigguedo]

The 80's....Music was great back then....

[@boblewis1227]

What a talented band. Loved their unique sound, the first time I heard them. Rock On!

[@auriptide]

Plenty of bands from the past to be found like this one. People are looking to the past, because there is no true musical talent these days. Miley, Bieber, and that tall skinny blonde chick. cant remember here. horrible music.

[@lastmanonearth71]

+auriptide .....your comment about today's music is spot on my friend, the crap that's playing these days is HORRIBLE! What has happened to the music industry? Total garbage and getting worse, thank you for telling it like it really is........

[@jackjude]

There is loads of good music around, always has been, I've always looked towards the underground (not as hard as it sounds) for music. I don't mind if other people are ok with listening to crap, just like I don't mind people eating at McDonalds. OK the in 80's the was a prevalent style in the 80's which you found agreeable and meant you could let the radio soundtrack your life, but their are many artists influenced by this era today which have a clever tasteful take on it.

[@tarmaque]

Agreed, there's always good music around. I think it's just that the pop music of today is so terrible. If you look beyond the hype into the indi scene you can find all sorts of stuff. Some musicians actually specialize in music of the style of the 70's 80's or 90's and are very good at evoking those eras. It's just that the kids these days don't even try to find them.

[@jackjude]

It's a if there's a somebody forcing other people to listen to music they don't like, some prescribed playlist (ie old media radio, TV etc... when it's never been so easy to listen to music you like or might like, all they need do is "scrobble" on lastfm or Spotify, something new based on your taste will come along soon enough.

[@TheUtuber999]

Class of '83 here. Lived in the San Fernando Valley (totally!) and spent the Summer in England. Basked in New Wave's glory right from the source at its peak, while savoring the numerous local acts back home. I am so grateful to have come of age when and where I did!

Wow, i use to wish i could move out there back then, during the early and mid 80s...

[@kristinasheehan7408]

You are precious, you are a genius, and after reading this, I’m sure that maybe Dia lorries would come in to play to keep us from being friends, especially in the event we actually texted each other since I am known to write novels with so much detail that people often can’t follow me or beg me to start a blog or ask why I didn’t get into acting. I suppose that would have required a little more confidence that I needed when I wasn’t playing the jester to my von Trapp family growing up. see…!? There I go again. Thank you for reminding me I’m not alone and for embracing every fiber of that song.! ✌️🫶😉

[@kristinasheehan7408]

I fear is painfully obvious that Siri and I have a tumultuous relationship. My apologies for technology, making it possible in so many ways to be a salvation. We can send civilians to Mars and yet Siri cannot seem to manage to auto correct or spellcheck or recognize, familiar, lingo or names that are often used. I can only imagine someone that I think you might be will be able to cipher your way through it however, I apologize for my laziness to not spellcheck the concept of spellcheck before pressing send. 🤦‍♀️

Why. Do i get butterflys in my stomach i listen to any 80s music , the 80s was magical. Error. , without Hesitation. I would enter that error back and lock myself. in it ....seriously , i miss the 80s so much

[@166userp]

These were some of the best years to listen to music. I'd go back in a second. Much better, movies, music, life, advent of videogames and so much technology. Things were just more fun back then.

[@rob-robi]

It was a completely different world back then. I remember a lot of it clearly . So different that as time went by a couple decades we mostly forget how we go about life so differently today. I remember when the beeper came along i thought it was the most amazing new thing ever, and i guess it was then. Not a person under 40 today knows what a beeper even is.
