oh please god let her keep her clothes on.

[@gatlinguts]

When artists were artists. No autotune just their actual voice and some clever sound engineers. It was a time when there was more than a 90% chance that the people performing the song actually composed it and wrote the lyrics.

The 80s were more fun, colorful, upbeat, and positive. Happy music and strong expression.

[@KieroSi]

and most of the major cities looked like ghettos that would send today's kids running for burbs. There's a reason it was highlighted by one too many post-apocalyptic films and that we didn't need another hero vs the super hero era of now. It was a more innovative period because we had to be. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. So, we had to DIY, we had to adapt to multiple technologies. You know people looked down upon lighting design then along with the use of synthesizers.. yet they became famous, well, for a niche. among one of the many, many subcultures of the era... that have now all but lost their definitions and boundaries, as people have lost their will to do their own research, to learn of new cultures and the desire to integrate vs assimilate. It was a period of plurality in the streets, while govt (in most nations) made a bipartisan, paranoid if not hysterical, authoritarian agenda against the youth and young adults of that era.. culminating in the scolds, the puriteens, safe space little authoritarians we have rioting in the streets today, from the right to the left, seeking to censor all they find offensive. 70s-80s, you looked for escape, which led to a rebellious look, exploration into the fringe... many had compartmentalized lives, multiple lives, not unexpected for someone to be an overachiever, captain of the cheerleaders, by week and a death metal rocker by the weekend... and no one from either side aware of it - largely as they didn't care as much about authenticity as just being chill and attempting to integrate into the scene. . . though that would change by the late 90s, the younger millennials were a bit try too hard, aggressive and violent upon their coming of age - hence, all the talk shows in their era focused on boot camps, mental health facilities and drugging them into a stupor.. never mind the psychosis created by all the new prescription acne medications, like accutane. you had two primary groups for younger millennials; those initiated by marilyn manson, he was eyeroll inducing but not as much of a problem as his little fans that would terrorize the club scene (underage, even) to the "straight edge" punks that were beating people in parking lots for as little as smoking or lite pda - they were authoritarian proto sjws that would eventually put on the u.s. federal govt's gang lists, because they had a long list of triggers and would violently attack any that violated them, never mind they crossed over with ELF blowing up car dealerships, throwing out spike strips for semis and trying to derail cargo trains for the environment, allegedly. But I digress, that was the late 90s, along with the numerous other groups that rose up in their wake, like the revival of the late 70s terror groups, like the weather underground, whose members were pardoned in the early 90s, tho, even by 1980, most had lessen their charges enough to return to the states, face minimal jail time, if any, and most became professors in that period.. starting the trend by the 90s for nearly every professor, well of specialized social studies, to have major "protest" experience in their c.v. like an arrest record over accreditation.. and they moved into it, largely because universities and colleges diversified their majors, reduced requirements and put in filler of greater general requirements. so, largely, most majors became "general majors" -- but the demand for all these majors on every campus, led to an increase drive of more useless administrators and lower qualification professors, adjunct professors and the like... leaving the door open to bad faith actors that would have rather become the equivalent of influeners or media personalities. facts replaced with personalized narratives, unchallenged perspectives, and aggressive recruitment of students into their cause or grade reprisals. tho, the 80s and the dinosaur professors gave no quarter, they were more apt to make us work and work for it. Like you can't talk to younger people, even most x & elder millennials, about having to write code by hand, by pen and paper, non-erasable pen because yes, they were sadists. . . the concept is foreign to most of them or they can't imagine someone having to write out, draw out, pages and pages of a programming langues on paper. the 5ninthavenueproject on youtube has some images of life in the 80s that might interest you.

I grew up roller skating to this song, 40 years ago, and today is the first time seeing Yaz singing it. I had a totally different vision in my head. Great song!!!

@@heatherkastenmeier7530 While you incredibly informative Internet Course Correctors are indeed rather knowledgeable, you never fail to miss the context of the discussion. Myself and the OP were talking about what we knew about the band when we were rollerblading as children 40 years ago. Not today, and especially not after watching this video. Thanks so much for trying to help out though!

His?

[@seamusoflatcap]

​@@juliebarratt3323Yes. If Vince played a wrong note she gave a quick squeeze. He deliberately played lots of wrong notes.

[@onesong2001]

@@seamusoflatcap She wouldn't know if he played a wrong note because his synth isn't producing any sound.

She absolutely pumps out emotion into the vocals. One of the reasons the song is so good

[@RussellLambeth]

Let's not downplay the musical genius that is Vince Clark. He was one of the founding members of Depeche Mode, then was the musical talent of Yazoo, then went on to be the musical/writing genius behind Erasure. GG man. You are immensely talented.
