Lyrics

How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken, I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel
Those who came before me lived through their vocations
From the past until completion, they'll turn away no more
And still I find it so hard to say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken, and I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting
I thought I told you to leave me when I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel, when your heart grows cold, grows cold, cold

As someone who lived through the 80s, this video is SO 80s.

Danced to this in the clubs in ‘88. I’m going to be 54 in 7 days, and I’m still dancing to it.

The 1980's.
There will never be another decade like it.

[johnconway]

I was in my twenties...we danced all night in the clubs. Everyone got along great . I so miss those days. This was one of my favorite songs. The DJ would play extended versions and we loved it. It still gets me going when I hear it.

Being in your 20s in the 80s. What a time to be alive. Clubbing all night w best friends and managing to go to work w only a couple hours' sleep then doing it all over again that night. Hormones, great music and alcohol...what an elixer.

[GrotrianSeiler]

My god, this song is brilliant. And it sounds as good as the day it came out.

Here's the thing about this music and the 80's (when I was in college here in NYC): This was primarily dance music. Ultimately, IDEALLY, you wanted to be on the dance floor while it played and living life to the fullest- sharing the very same moment in time with the rest of humanity. Most all of we "clubbers" were high on something (coke and/or alcohol), but truthfully, the music was THE powerful uniting force. You didn't have to be under the influence of any kind of chemical substance- the music was the only drug anyone really needed. It made 4, 5, 6 hours of dancing seem like nothing. You felt so alive, and you just wanted that perfect moment of art, energy, and a complete embrace and love of life to last forever. I can still feel the power of that moment now, over 30 years later, as I listen to this now.

[afficheursalon]

Exactly .. I was a teen-ager too .. Our generation is so lucky to have danced on these incredible songs !!

[barsixful]

ANYTHING from the 80’s…I’m there. It makes me walk around with a smile and I then remind everyone it was the last decade of good times 🎉

[Chicharrera.]

I was born in 1970, my sister in 1974. This song is our shared favourite from the 80's . Anywhere we are, if this song comes on we both get up smiling to each other and start doing 80's dance moves together.

[synthwave]

The band that started the electronic synth resolution !!! - I walked into a night club in the 80's and heard this song playing - still love it in 2020 - sophisticated sound.

[cwlrqtn]

I was lucky enough to live through it and this song is the beat of my college years! It never gets old.

[mr.spiegel]

This must be my favorite video from the 80s

[garyandrewranford]

17 years old when this dropped in 83...
And I still play it now, but not on vinyl 😅😅😅

What is phenomenal about this song is how long it took to gain popularity in the US. It was released in 1983. The first time i heard it was in a discoteque in 1986 in Puerto Vallarta. It was so enthralling to dance to, it was just everything with the rhythm & the melody & the words what do they mean. I never heard it on the radio anywhere in the US, but i started hearing it in dance clubs in 1987. Then, in 1988 it just blew up in all the clubs & when it came on, the dance floor filled. 5 years is a really long time for a song to catch on.
