[@naui1980]

Canadian I'm 55 and I remember this song and brings back so many great memories. And this was Real music compared to what they have today.

[@michaelgabert7549]

I really liked The Box in the 80's, and I'm rediscovering this awesome song again in 2023!

[@rachelmmurray]

This is so Canadian 80s perfection. The optimism is healing

[@8333311]

yeah, what happened?

[@RandallClarke-t1c]

I just love the way music videos were made in the 80's. You can't not love this tune.

[@rharms_]

theres just nothing better

[@ChestRockwell1]

When sass wants to go to a carribean island with you yessssss!!!!!!!

[@sandrawhite6334]

Proud to be Canadian....

[@ALLANROCK]

WHAT A GREAT CATCHY SONG THAT HAS WELL STOOD THE TEST OF TIME,SASS JORDAN ADDS SO MUCH TO THE VIDEO WITH HER YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE.THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE 10 MILLION VIEWS.

[@richardoki8320]

Doesn't this song make you want to give an air hug??

[@toddheath521]

This is the song of the summer and I am 52 years old so there’s a lot of summers that this song is the song of the summer..... beginning now

[@kathymaksimoff1445]

We need this song now more then ever....wish they could bring it back so people could listen to the words....but still a cool tune...hope you had a good summer!! Enjoy the coming fall

[@Vention3]

I swear, when this virus mess is over, I am going to PLAY THIS AT FULL VOLUME to remind me of how valuable a GLOBAL LEVEL PLAYING FIELD actually is for us all - & how much we should ALL truly respect this moving forward. Until then, a HUGE VIRTUAL KUMBAYA BEAR HUG to everyone... be safe & play this tune for a quick smile in the interim..

[@brobicho]

You never realize how much You take for granted until You're faced with this Global Cluster F. Stay Safe Dude

[@Mike-ml9wo]

Now that it's four years later since you posted your comment, I hope you had the opportunity to blast this at full volume as you wished. I just did! Take care everyone and rock on!!

[@boomer1981abc]

The Box and Doug & The Slugs are, in my opinion, the most under rated Canadian bands of all time.

[@geoffkendall1952]

I saw Doug and the Slugs on Galiano Island in the 70s before they even became famous. The last Ferry left waaay before the Band finished so Doug and the Slugs must have spent the night on the Island.

[@resireg]

So many more. 84 40, Chilliwack, Gowan, the Spoons, The Arrows, Trooper, Red Rider, Prism, , Harlequin

[@1silvervespa]

54-40 .... Fun bands ...

[@kevinmiramonti8853]

.... Ian Thornley is a God. Big Wreck

[@derekdoiron2530]

Why can't we make good music like this anymore?

[@Itzakadoodle]

This song doesn't grow old to me, it grows newer. It's fresher and more enjoyable with each passing year. Whatever happened to harmony, positive messages, and good ol' having fun?

[@frankguertin8696]

Sass and Marie are two beautiful blondes, and the Box rocks, been a favorite of mine for over 25 years. Rock on, world.

[@aguiristante]

Is that Marie Carmen with Sass in the video?

[@cameronbagg9528]

Saw The Box, pre-covid. Really good.

[@silversliver1592]

no shite, right on bro.

[@jayanxiety]

This song WAS SUMMER in the late-80's! The video STILL HOLDS UP today and the song STILL sounds as fresh as it was back then!

[@JoeyCap.]

Time flies...brings me back to a more innocent time

[@Fishformalnsr]

Let's all smile together, and dance together listening to this..even if we have to be 6' apart. what a great song!

[@burnpillageplunder]

Killer tune to this day. You know what?? My life really did kick ass in the 80's !!

[@sas19951113]

I haven't seen or heard these songs for over 20 years. I've tried searching online but no sucess. Thank you!!! I saw these guys in Halifax in July 1990: they sounded just like you hear them here on KZbin. The Box are truly a part of Canadian history and culture.

[@DonYarosh]

So much energy! So pure! So Canadian! So under rated ! Beautiful song and video! Deserved better.

[@Phil1stalk]

The Box got it right. It's up to all of us! The song is good, too. Blessings! "DON'T GIVE UP!!!"

[@Terrance0661]

saw these guys at the ontario place forum... charisma charisma charisma....awesome live!!

[@reverseification]

United we stand, divided we fall

[@deepcoolclear]

When music and vibes were just positive 💕

[@DavidGarvinTechnophile]

And it was at this moment in time that I fell in love with Sass Jordan! :)

[@quincee3376]

I always dug this song. This and Ordinary People.

[@Scatherfirst]

Who doesn't love Jean Marc?

[@marcelkaffine7343]

2021. Such an under appreciated group. Always loved their music.

[@dedricthere]

Dude had a great original voice.

[@archiveseeker]

This is the year 2020, and I'm loving this tune!

[@justincider3765]

Hey man, check out the band Frozen Ghost then. The song " Should I See " should fkn get you jakt up . And when you hear it you'll want to play it for every politician and news personality out there !

[@edlisinski9666]

I'm loving it in 2021

[@martinenathalierioux1711]

2022 ✌⚜

[@rogerharris3951]

The anti-social distancing anthem! 😀

[@davidcalvin4215]

October 2023.

[@mamalit2901]

Woke up singing this Summer 2024!

[@shawnporter5109]

Seeing the m in about 6 weeks. Jean marc still has it

[@marianaorbezo3045]

Here is toronto at The Bowl? I just bought my tickets! Was able to get switch shifts at work 😅​@@shawnporter5109

[@judykathrine2485]

This song ALWAYS makes me happy!

[@serfer1983]

That's the first time I'm listening to this. Just by the look of the thumbnail I knew it would be great!

[@burnpillageplunder]

One of the greatest, horribly under-rated songs of all time.......

[@paulrosebush9137]

Box Rocks!!!!

[@dexterriley]

It was written originally for the leukemia foundation

[@marvinmartian7281]

Yes! indeed

[@samhhaincat2703]

I think it's one of the greatest horrible songs of all time. I love it to pieces, but I don't think it'd sound any good at all without the nostalgia. It's pure 80s awful and it's gold.

[@anick5338]

@@samhhaincat2703 lyrics still resonates today still just put USA vs whomever at the time...

[@jamihughes1589]

The sweet, uplifting vocals from Sass Jordan and Marie Carmen give this happy tune a jingling , boogie dancing quality. Its absolutely fun! I am re-discovering "The Box" after loving all their music as a child- the artfulness of their style and the gentle lilt in Jean Marcs voice sort of feels Metis- Irish to me. Alot of their songs have a warm, but upbeat Canadian folk feel to them. So glad I have re-found them in 2021!!!

[@jamihughes1589]

@Ruthie Max I love this! This is exactly what I was into in the eighties and still find amazing today! Playing it now with the speakers on!!!

[@JohnTheBear1961]

Sass Jordan is in the video, but didn't sing on this track, from my understanding.

[@Spinspiel]

Martine St. Clair did the female vocals on Closer Together but didn't go on the video shoot so Sass Jordan did.

[@lomertaderoches2819]

The two blonde female singers in the vid are Sass Jordan and Sylvie Daviau (not Marie-Carmen).

[@deepcoolclear]

Sass didn’t sing on this track as others have noted, it was a québécois singer

[@timmit3579]

AHAUUMM!... AHAUUMM... I love the beginning of this song; I think of it when it comes to mind when I'm at work sometimes...! (:D !!)

[@cjwright79]

Canadian music has got a lot of gems from the 80s but this one shines as one of the brightest.

[@martinpsi2705]

Un groupe de chez nous...Le Québec!!! Salut Jean Marc et à ton groupe!

[@Murray-wk3hz]

Lot of happiness in eighties music.

[@huguesdumoulin5074]

Love this band. I remember when they were performing at the late Bourbon Street in St-Sauveur, Qc. Just great memories, Merci la gang.

[@darrylcrozier265]

Greatest video ever made

[@wendycharles648]

LET'S UNITE THE WORLD WITH LIGHT LOVE PEACE

[@legokingcandy]

I’m a 2000’s kid, but this song makes me think of being alive when it came out driving down a neighborhood with friends and with a warm summer breeze blowing

[@davidcalvin4215]

It was a magical time growing up in the 80s. 😊 I refer you to the KZbin channels Genx Talks and the dadbod veteran.

[@DaveMorley-m1d]

At my company it is mandatory to sing all you want when great tune comes on the radio. But you better know the words that you sing 🎤

[@debbiewebber5165]

and sass jordan is so beautiful

[@dougsmith165]

Very fun Montreal band back in the day. This was a great CD. Magnifique!

[@xxch4osxx]

Never knew Sass Jordan is a support singer in this video!

[@crush42mash6]

Great Canadian music over the years if you just go back and think of the bands you will be shocked at what you hear!

[@lisabigstone1005]

I have not heard this song in many years, and didn't know if I knew it until it started playing then just lifted my mood instantly. Such a great song even today.

[@colettelavoie2345]

A positive song for all to enjoy

[@thomasharper4166]

I'm Canadian!Why do I not know this band?Remember a couple songs from back in the day but never heard of The Box!Good tunes!

[@andrebitoff3726]

Their not Canadian. Their from Montreal. Lol

[@gr6666]

I just discovered this song only lately despite growing up in the 80's. I wonder how I missed this. It is so upbeat and a really infectious tune. I love it. Definitely a great mood enhancer. If there is such a thing as a happiness pill, well, this is it!

[@AndrewCranton]

If you ain’t 80s you ain’t down

[@thevoice464]

Oh Canada 🎉

[@HDXProd]

Most Classic 80's Music Video ever! Love the Steady-cam too. Thanks Marc...

[@serpico1616]

They all just look so dang happy!

[@emilieross1114]

Love the Box! I have seen Jean Marc and crew several times over the past few years and they still have it big time! Get out there guys and girls and support this awesome Canadian band! You won’t be disappointed!

[@debbiewebber5165]

and those two female singers are the best ever

[@swright5690]

Ahhhh...1987 at CFB St Jean as a young 2Lt...This song brings back the memories.

[@digicustoms7699]

Love it!!! Another gem from the 80’s… no better era of music than this period. It was a special and memorative time. If America can only find what it forgot!

[@jeri-annabbott1896]

I saw them in concert back in the late 80's - they were the opening act for Chris De Burgh and they put on a fabulous show.

[@jamieford5145]

classic 80's Canadian pop rock. love it!

[@paulabbott8460]

+Jamie Ford No need 2 think OUTSIDE da Box.There is NO box!!!!

[@louislucky7440]

A lot like Doug & the Slugs !😎👍🎶

[@paulfromt.o.7384]

Long time since I've heard this. Good memories.

[@shawnporter5109]

Saw them last week they still have it

[@myrnabarager5062]

Finally saw The Box last summer (2019), now a fan!

[@Styphon]

A couple of decades too slow, but welcome to the experience! (Fan since their first album, back when it first came out.) Pity that their name makes searching for their videos so obscure.

[@missq3989]

Makes my heart smile

[@carlosa9298]

My summer song of 1987..😊

[@picmenose]

April 2021 under lockdown for over a year I really need this song to manifest, I need to be close to people again.

[@marc80s]

The Box were hardcore new wavers when they first started out, but they mellowed as time went on. I mean, these are the dudes who once bragged about dancing on the grave of rock n roll! That's hardcore new wave right there.

[@DavidChipman]

So that's what "Dancing on the Grave" was about! Thank you!

[@dostfez]

A band that deserved better...lots great stuff.

[@Jethromcsheepherder]

Just thinking that shorter female backup singer would go solo and blow everyone’s minds with her amazing vocals. And in THIS band, she is one of a VERY talented group of musicians.

[@thomasharper4166]

Yep!❤

[@dumptruck_babs]

Using this for my eighth grade grad slideshow, its so genius. Plus, the parents will probably appreciate some 80s music

[@skingerskanger]

I could listen to the chorus in a loop for tge rest of my life, and NEVER get tired of it.

[@SagaciousHamster]

This is right near the top of my favourites from the 80s. The song, the video - both excellent.

[@headstones]

God this song is so dang catchy!

[@davidfreeman5611]

FANTASTIC song ! A song with BOTH a MELODY.......and a MESSAGE ....NOT about BOOTY CALLS !!

[@headstones]

One of the greatest Canadian pop songs ever!

[@debbiewebber5165]

Best Canadian music of the eighties

[@dougthePogingguitarist]

great song

[@briankendall6724]

An amazing Canadian band. One of the best bands of the 80's...saw them in concert in a small venue in Cambridge Ontario in 86....fantastic show...Sass Jordon was singing back up for them then too!

[@harryhand4935]

my name is Jamie, this song always brought me closer to my parents when I was growing up in the 1908s.

[@martyniner8893]

Yes! Saxamaphone! Need more of that these days

[@KyleHarper-hv1px]

Such a sweet sound of high school....very talented group of musicians. 80s rock!

[@serenak76]

I love this song as a kid, still do! Awesome!

[@sudburylawyer]

I saw them play at Ottawa U in 1987. Great show and a great band!

[@normancook965]

So joyous and yet actually profound.

[@chiefscheider]

How great is that 6 second shot at 2:53 Very Scorsese-esque 👍

[@scottsheard4756]

Video is full of beauty

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Excellent song. And a very wise decision to start with the chorus.

[@talksmoke1190]

I remember they used to have this black bus driving around montreal with "the box" written on it

[@murraymclean5177]

Yes, just yes! 😎

[@brotherbill1000]

Another great song with a positive message from the 1980's! What's not to like?

[@liamesoteric3477]

Us Gen X'S were lucky to Be in this Time!

[@Gonzo2112]

Cool video filmed in Dominican Republic...we were there on holidays and saw them filming.The fort scenes are Puerto Plata and street shots are in Sosua...those kids were so excited to be in a music video!Sass Jordan on backup vocals went on to become Canada's greatest female rock singer....Sass rocks!

[@mitcha1065]

The Box is it!!! Sass too!

[@doug1234dougx]

Beautiful tune that represents a wonderful era! Thank you for sharing!

[@acerb4566]

If "Certain" people listen, This song can save millions of lives! SHHH! I can say nothing more! ...God be praised for this brave bands amazingly intelligent song!

[@jonathanbradbury2665]

Yep...such a GREAT message!!!

[@kerrbear1980]

I love the box. Grew up watching them on Much Music. ♥️♥️ the good ole days

[@davidpatterson2178]

This is a great band. Made in Canada. Right from Quebec.

[@RR70actionTRS]

WOW this takes me way back! Thanks for posting this tune!
