Strange Advance - We Run

[@MrEdmontonman]

I'm so glad that I grew up in the 80s. Hey dose anyone remember "Good Rockin Tonight". It aired Friday nights on the CBC. Terry David Mulligan hosted it.

[@johnlester4987]

First exposure to a music video show. So awesome. A real treat. Night Ranger was one of my first video memories. Honeymoon Suite. Def Leppard. Good times. Oh, and of course, Corey Hart and Gino Vanelli.

[@davehartin9584]

I remember and it wasn't bad but I'm a sixties child

[@danivoorhees1240]

Yes I do. I remember watching that show every single Friday night in the 80s in my early to mid teens. I watched it on CBC Television from Toronto where this show was broadcast on CBC from Vancouver.

Yes I watched every Friday night also. The 80'z was the best decade

[@stephanprimeau6150]

Yes, I do. I would never miss a show. After him, it was hosted by Stu Jeffries. They would always start or end a show with 'Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight."

My brother was a DJ and he could lip sync to anything... he looked like the lead singer here and it was 1990 when he died. This was on the radio and he harmonized as I drove him to his cancer treatment. I'll never forget his voice... he was 31. So its bittersweet every time I hear it. Happy tears now.

[@DelilahdeLust]

[@dassy1954]

Annie Young Yes, songs take us to special places. My Dad loved Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" which came out just after my Mom died. I have always loved "We Run". Thank you for sharing your beautiful memory with us.

[@StevJame]

+Annie Young - Hey No Worries about feeling a connection to music and your brother! I was in Brampton, ON learning to live without much of a family or even true friends for that matter. I guess the only that really mattered was CFNY 102.1 FM and the multitude of diverse music being played ABC/Aztec Camera - Yazoo/Paul Young and many artists in between! I took comfort in being the permanent outcast in my family, ethnic community and city where I was born and eventually left forever! Play the music and know that your brother lives on in your HEART!

[@larrylambert1220]

I always loved Canadian rock from the eighties. It had a rawness, a purity that was not matched by bands from any other country at the time. The music was very unique. As a yank from the States; my 83 Ford Escort's radio cassette player played tapes (yes, tapes) from such bands as Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, Haywire, Corey Hart, Frozen Ghost, and many others from the Great White North. I would give anything to go back to the Spring of 89', driving down some back country road in the area I grew up, while listening to "New Girl Now".

[@cynthiaworoch8335]

[@brentrigby764]

THE most underrated tune of the 1980’s.

[@CJTranceAddiction]

As I write this, I just heard this over the radio while at work during cleanup and I just paused.....more like froze in time. I couldn't even work anymore. All I could think about was this song and I immediately shouted out does anyone know the name? No one, of course, could help me....but I found out the radio station and followed their playlist throughout the day and here I am. The chorus just froze me and for a split second.....time had stopped and I was flooded by a wave of nostalgia. I know I have heard this song once before as a child. I was born in 1982 so I had some memories of the 80's even though I wasn't old enough during those years. Thank god for music like this. Suddenly flashes of my life appeared before my eyes all because of a goddamn song. Incredible, incredible. One of the best damn melodies of the 80's and they're from my hometown of Canada. Geeez.....no wonder they're not more known.

[@roseritchie6363]

When I hear this song, I feel like something is missing to me. It's difficult to explain. It's like souvenirs from an other life. It made me the same feeling when I heard this song in 1985.

From Woodhaven originally but River Heights rocks as a community in my humble estimate. Many historic manors there as well as some good family sized units. It's a classic neighbourhood with an historic mix of homes. And YES the 1970's was an equal era in terms of importance for music. There were a TON of local garage bands that played the circuit around the Winnipeg Area. My Dad used to regale us with stories of bands performing at the then Airliner Hotel and how these bands would do parodies of the current hits on the radio back then (the early 1970's).

This is one of those songs that I would hear on the radio and really liked but never was able to find out the artist or title. I would happen to catch it part way through after the DJ had already introduced it (maybe) or when it ended the next song would begin and anyway, I never found out. Gradually I'd hear it less and less and it was finally forgotten. Today driving home from work I put on my Daily Mix from Spotify and they had added this song. How clever of them. I nearly cried at the sudden wave of nostalgia that hit me.

This song will always remind me of my co-worker. I sang the opening the lyrics randomly one night while I was having a smoke with my co-worker in her old chevy truck while on break at work. It was a typical a chilly winter night. She turned and said to me that she loved that song and I asked "whats the name of that song? i only know the lyrics" (my memory is terrible for songs).

I would really like to see a video to World's Away. That, too, is a great song. Upon seeing this video, I realized that I hadn't heard the song or seen the video since it aired on MTV back in the 80's. I was ten years old. It was a pleasant surprise and this song is still just as good as I first remembered hearing it.

This song immediately puts me on a ski hill in Quebec, where I was when I first heard it. A most decent memory I must say.

Oh ya. Heard many a great 80s song on thd Murray Hill bus to the slopes up north of Montreal.

This song gets a lot of airplay on Q107 Toronto today even though it never hit #1...good pop 80s tune!

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

this got played on music choice on cable tv which had a new wave channel until about 2009.

The 80's wave table tech added an element to music that came out of the 70's. So one has to consider the 70's musics extended into the mid 80's before the rap and grunge.

I was working at a recording studio and I had no idea this band is Canadian. Oh my gosh. World's Away?!? I can't believe I didn't know they were Cdn.

There was some amazing music in the 80s but I have to say this is probably in my top 10.The music of the 80s wasn’t all auto tuned these were all talented artists.

[@2strokemerc]

Just came across my 12" single of this song. 9 minutes of greatness. Always one of my favourites. Sure do miss the 80s.

OMG I haven't heard this song in so long. I remember dancing to this gem back in the 80's. What a time. Cheers from Ottawa🍁

A truly beautiful song,a amazing video clip...oh the 80s...the best decade in music,movies and television..today music is garbage, a lot of technology has damaged movies and television shows are useless and unfunny!

[@DonnieWong72]

Takes me back to when I first arrived in Vancouver as a boy in 1986 - lost & bewildered but full of wonder & excitement 🥹
