Mr. Mister - Kyrie [with lyrics] 1985

"Kyrie" was a #1 hit song by the 1980s pop/rock band Mr. Mister, from their 1985 album Welcome to the Real World. (Kyrie Eleison, is Greek translation for "Lord have mercy"). Released in late 1985, it hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in March 1986, where it was #1 for two weeks. Mr. Mister is an American pop rock band most popular in the 1980s. The band's name came from an inside joke about a Weather Report album called Mr. Gone where they referred to each other as "Mister This" or "Mister That", and eventually selected "Mr. Mister." Mr. Mister may be considered as representative of the melodic sound of 1980s pop rock. The band consisted of Richard Page on vocals and bass guitar, Steve George on keyboards, Pat Mastelotto on acoustic and electronic drums and Steve Farris on guitars.

At The gates of heaven there must be 80s music blasting

Just had Kyrie Eleison tattooed on my shoulder. My heart stopped beating last year and I'm lucky to be here.

Mr. Mister had the perfect 80s blend of synthesizers, guitars, and electronic drums.

I lost my mom due to neglect and abuse but as a child she would drive me around at night and we would blare this song and drive around the city screaming and singing our hearts off. The best memories i have of my mother originated from this song.

[discodave]

I had no idea how spiritual this song is! I thought it was a love song. Man, I had no idea. This song is special and even Christian.

[shockvoz]

I woke up and had a yearning for this song. I listened and looked up the meaning and found it meant Lord have mercy. The Holy Spirit was guiding me to that message unknown to me but known to Him. Thank you Lord.❤

Played on mother's funeral for the beauty and religious aspects of this amazing song. Whenever I hear it, I wanted to jump into my swimming pool and swim around. Miss you mother and father, RIP.

Amen and boy do we need the Lord’s mercy now.

[VanDaRifleman]

This is a wonderful song that we need to hear in these awful times of deception, irrational fear, and loneliness. Lord, have mercy on us all.

[ueyxfml]

The industry wouldn't allow this song on radio now. Thank God, i grew up in the 80s ❤

[kfeaster]

Still listening to this in 2016 ! Screw the trash on the radio.

[vanessawaddle]

Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness, thank you Jesus, you are faithful and true

[seanspencer]

'Lord have mercy' in Greek. The road we all must travel has twists, turns, detours, curves, slopes, it is the way we drive and pay attention to our surroundings that matters...thanks, guys, for this memorable song!

[jamminjoe]

With all the horrible things in the world going on right now, this song is so relevant today. What an amazing song from the 80`s, which was my time. If I could travel back in time, the 80`s would be were I would be headed to. Those were the best days of My life! May God Have mercy on the USA during this horrible time.

[BrandinZinck]

I'm not ashamed to admit that I once thought Kyrie Eleison was the name of a person.

[elizabethreynoso]

Love you GOD!!! and this song is awesome!!

I don't have a touching story with this song, I just heard it one day on the radio and instantly fell in love with it
