Just goes to show you can disappear for a while and come back just as great as you were before. You guys were awesome then and still are!

Take a trip to total wine to grab some beers for the night and walk away with a song stuck in your head for over 24 hours. Thought they were a modern indie band till I realized they were behind shattered dreams. May synthwave never die.

This song played on Apple music when I was listening to a shattered dreams station. Don’t know how I slept on this one. Definitely deserves a lot more love than it has.

I love reading these comments. I like reading from those who live outside of the U.S.A. To me, the music from the 70's & 80's will never grow old, or, fade away. Especially the 80's, it was just a special period. So much more talent. None of this "autotune" to cover up the FACT that a lot of singers out there really can't sing or write decent music. I'm SO grateful for places like YouTube where I can go and chill out "back in the day" with acts like Johnny Hates Jazz, and Swing Out Sister!

I maybe wrong but is this song alluding to the concept of reincarnation? Whether it is or not its a beautiful song from one of pop music's criminally underrated bands. Love it very much.

22 years later, the sound is back! Even though Clark Datchler has a deeper voice, he still hits that sweet high vocal. Good to hear!

[davidhubbert]

Should have been a massive hit what a tune.

I just lost an old love this week. I heard this song and knew instantly this was us. We were magnetized. We knew each other each other immediately. No games, no useless talk. We just knew. I will miss you. But we are connected for eternity, I know. Until we meet again Christine. Rest until we see each other again. I know I will see you again Christine. It's beautiful when your connected. Nothing is effort. It's just is.

i heard this in a kohl's dressing room and immediately fell in love with the chorus. like, seriously, this song is so good

[mrdaynes]

I always liked Clark Datchler's songs, great voice too. Good tune

[rahard]

a while ago I saw a video of this song but with kids. a parody? I couldn't find that video anymore. anybody? I think it's funny. now, I want it.

I was just listening to "Shattered Dreams" in the 80s New Wave Radio room on iTunes Radio, and remembering that I used to hear it now and again on the radio years ago, I did a bit of "where are they now?" web surfing on JHJ.

Imagine my surprise to find that they had recently cut their first album in 22 years, long after New Wave fell out of vogue.

And I am really impressed by just how good "Magnetized" is.  You could drop this song right in the middle of 1987, and no one would be the wiser that it had been written 25 years in the future.

Well done, Clark and Mike.  Keep up the good work.  I hope you get some real air time this side of the pond (looks like "Magnetized" has already had its run in the UK).

Magnetized has the perfect balance of contemporary and retro themes. A very powerful song, which I personally believe is lacking in our modern day music (if you consider calling 'today music', well music).

I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG.   I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF THEM SINCE THE 80S. LOVE YOU CLARK!

[AuthorSerenaJade]

I was a Johnny Hates Jazz fan back in the 80's. I LOVE their new song "Magnetized, " I am calling it the Soul Mate song!

[amandaramos]

I just watched this music video for this song for the very first time and it was definitely a hit

[Dulcamara...]

Is a very special feeling find myself the same place i heard this awesome band singing on the radio "shattered dreams" and "turn back the clock" now with this masterpiece, thanks a

[slaphaddalztick]

Twenty eight years on from Shattered Dreams and they look and sound as if time has stood still - Fantastic!

[sheikhabrahim]

I am magnetized to this song ever since listening to it.How about you? Knew these guys' songs from way back then as a little boy. Now I'm a grown man. Still listening to the old songs from yesteryear.
