Waiting For A Star To Fall: A Tribute to 80's Entertainment

Tribute to entertainment in the 1980s.

[docj]

Is it normal for a 51-year old man who doesn’t cry that often to have tears in his eyes after watching this? Asking for a friend.

[TravelingSoloLogs]

So blissful, life was so much more simple back then! Who's watching this in 2024! 😃

[BaddogSports]

As a 48 year old guy, this video makes me smile & cry at the same time.
What a time it was, to be alive!
The 80s will never die!

*Does anyone else want to time travel to the 80s?*

[glennhoddle]

This hits way way harder when you are older.
Wish I could go back in time and relive the 80s one more time.
*I can't be the only one. Who's with me ?*

[PLNB]

There is zero doubt this was the best decade in human history. Enough technological advances to make life easy and fun. But not enough to cut out the human element. This was the tipping point where we had it set up perfectly. I’m so fortunate to have loved through that decade as a child/teenager. Everyone of these scenes brings back memories that make me feel so warm. Thanks for posting.

[gumusluk]

Nothing will ever come close to this music. I'm 58 and just happy I was alive in the 80s....My wife loved this song. She passed away in 2017...RIP Sue ❤️❤️❤️

[excalibur]

In the 1980s we had so much fun and freedom, yet we dreamed of living with 21st century technology. In the 21st century we have so much technology, yet we dream of the fun and freedom of living in the 1980s.

[DCWhodat]

If you didn’t live through it, you have no idea how special that decade was.

[turoczyzoltan]

Whoever made this should be awarded an honorary doctorate. Born in 1980, this video makes me sob like a child. It invokes feelings that are hard to put in words. Mainly joy and gratitude, but also feelings of loss, regret and missed opportunities, wounded inner child, a deep longing for someone etc. I'm so glad that I existed in the 80s. Thank you for making this :)

[NSXavier]

Who’s here in 2024???? This is such a vibe

[bullballsallday]

Me in the 80's: I can't wait for the future.
Me in 2020: I wish it was the 80's.

[jamaican_cute_gal]

I'm 45 years old sitting here bawling my eyes out and smiling from ear to ear at the same time. Only those of us who were lucky enough to live through this amazing decade would understand.

[davidgoodner]

Looking back the 80s was the pinnacle of humanity now and forever it will never be as good as it was in the 80s

[mainscotty]

For 4 mins 32 seconds I was transported back to the 80's. A big smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Such an awesome decade. Don't be sad that's it over....smile because it happened.

[authorliannejames]

As a former 80s kid, I can't watch without crying. Every. Single. Time.

[sitnspin]

I'm going to watch this over and over again and pretend 2020 isn't happening.

[hourgmtchannel]

Just turned 58 so I grew up through the 80's enjoying all the great music. I just bought a 1982 Porsche 911. I call it my time machine back to the 80's. The radio only plays 80's music. Imagine that😊

[kateruterbories]

Turned 10 in 1980, graduated in 1988!! Thank you God for that most wonderful time!!
