53 years old black male and i freaking loved this song. It took me back in another place in the 80's when i enjoyed Neverending Story, Dark Crystal, and other 80's fantasy moments. I wish i can go back and stay in the 80's forever!

I'm crying uncontrollably right now. I was born 1971. This music (80's) is life. I watched my wife and mother pass away just a month apart from each other in 2013. Then my oldest brother lost his father, then his oldest son, and finally he himself. And now my own health is failing. I find comfort on coming on youtube to listen to the 80's music I grew up on, although it can make me tear up. I long for the old days when life was so much more simple and happy.

Reminds me of my wife. She died October 22, 2018 at only the age of 46. So horribly sad after all she was battling in overcoming cancer, anemia, and epstein-barr diseases. This song reminds me of how we all fall down in grief of loved ones who have died and reminds us of our own mortality despite the vibrance and optimism of our youth. Life is precious. Loved ones and family are precious! Cherish the love before we all fall down like toy soldiers!

Christa Varrone Sorry 70s kid here, my first music was watching Partridge Family TV Show 1970 -1974. I was kinda a ladies man in grade school the girls loved my IRISH Freckels on my face. Some kids wernt very nice they said is your whole Family a bunch of DRUNKS. That is kinda True most people think all IRISH are DRUNKS. I guess us IRISH are a little weird some born with Red Hair & Freckels covering our whole Body. Its funny Freckels disappear from our face but not the body. IRISH FOLKLORE says we get our Freckels from the Sun. That makes no sense IRISH Skin Burns easily in the sun. Us O"GRADY boys most have been good looking, these girls kept coming to our house some times right after school. Too bad only 8-9 year olds. For some reason my girlfriends called me James instead of Jim or Jimmy. I really liked my Rock N Roll Music ROLLING Stones Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers Lynyrd Skynyrd. I liked how those 70s girls had the hots for those Long Hair Rock Stars. Heres a few corny IRISH sayings I AM A LEPRECHAUN I DONT DATE HUMANS, YOU DONT SCARE ME I WAS RAISED BY AN IRISH MOTHER. AN IRISH GIRL WITHOUT FRECKELS IS LIKE A SKY WITHOUT STARS. AN IRISH GIRL IS A GUYS BEST DRINKING BUDDY. WARNING I MAY BE PRONE TO SHENANIGANS & MALARKEY. REDHEAD IRISH GIRLS ARE EXTRA FIESTY IN THE BEDROOM. MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRISH BE WITH YOU. KISS ME IM IRISH NO REALLY IM IRISH. PARENTS were crazy having 10 IRISH Kids. Not only that Mom side gave us kids 16 first cousins. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids. Too Bad ST PATRICKS PARADE is cancelled because of that Corona Virus. My Family turned out all right we all new our limits with Alcohol. Kinda funny I took a liken to Partridge Family Music at 8 years old. Some of those 70s concerts were crazy because of very little Security, even indoor concerts were bad. Then again how do you control 75,000 fans. Freckels in IRELAND are called ANGEL KISSES. Sorry about all IRISH Stuff Im just Proud of my IRISH HEARITAGE. RIP DAVID CASSIDY

Born in the 80s, grew up mostly in the early 90s, we did have the best childhood. The only “technology” we had was cable tv, and very early dial up “internet” which was locally run message boards and only text. My friends and I rode out bikes all summer, played with walkie-talkies, ran lemonade stands, climbed trees, make picnics, played outside til the street lights came on and mom was calling for us to come in. You couldn’t pay me to be a kid today.

Hello from a 68 year old NANA !! I watched this video on MTV with my teenagers back in the 80’s. I just happened to come across it..... I loved this song and the message it was sending out . I hope it saved some lives , from the world and destruction of drugs. The 80s music did sing to your soul , Chicago, journey, Foreigner , Air supply and so many more ❤️❤️ I still listen to these songs

All 80's music is a treasure. I remember staying up late to watch Friday Night Videos. Then an underground music video showcase on a UHF channel in Chicago. I lived outside the country for 10 years. I always loved returning during Christmas and hearing new sounds. Living abroad exposed me to experiences my American peers couldn't imagine. It shaped me into a person that sees people as people not labels. Many Americans can benefit from that same experience today. Now, with that said. I believe Charli XCX's Boom Clap song borrowed from Toy Soldiers. They may not admit it. But the abstract lyrics and chorus timing are similar elements with a faster tempo. I wouldn't be surprised if she listened to Toy Soldiers and said. "Hey I want a to make a song like that." in her English accent. Of course this is my opinion. You say you don't know another song like this. It's likely you do but can't remember. Because I didn't recall Toy Soldiers until I happened upon it again. I want to share 2 songs that I think will have you feeling some intense emotions. Both are from the same artist. If you're not used to listening to this genre. Give it chance, and maybe it will be best to listen the first time with good headphones. Don't listen on your laptop speakers unless they are high quality. I'm not taking anything away from Toy Soldiers. I love music, any kind of music. Oh, and be careful with the first song. It might scare you at the beginning lol.

He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. This is the Gospel which means the Good News. John 1:1-3,10 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Isaiah 44:6 KJV Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:17-18 KJV And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 5:24 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1 John 5:13 KJV These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Me either...it just shows me how cookie cutter radio has become....the light rock station in St. Louis 102.5 literally plays the same stuff everyday when I take my daughter to school...if i hear Old Time Rock and Roll or Total Eclipse Of The Heart much more...i am gonna lose it!

@@nostalgiajim I agree, 106.5 really needs to mix the music up and play different songs

I forgot about this song! Silver Sun Pickups did a cover and I looked it up. This is a masterpiece!!!

It's in a minor key and deals with a scary subject. Modern audiences are conditioned to bubblegum trash.

The 1980's will always be the best decade of my life snd it was a very safe decade to live in...peoole were civilized and respectful ...

This is a cracking 80's tune, i was lucky enough to be brought up through the 80's and without a doubt my favourite decade of music still to this day.

Summer of 89! What a time, and still never gets old.
