I'll turn 50 in 2 months. I'm dancing and crying to this masterpiece filled with love, youth, emotion, pain and everything else that makes us human. I'm instantly transported back to middle school on my way to class with my Sony Walkman blasting in my ears dreading having to turn them off and put them in my locker until I can play it again during my lunch. Thank you for honoring those glory days for me and connecting with kids who are the age today I was then. Brilliant work! And thanks for performing live on my local radio station where I discovered you...KEXP.

Dean I was born in 86 and got raised on all the synthwave stuff from then, it’s amazing to hear something that flawlessly harks back to that style and era and creates a brilliant tune at the same time. In love with this, sharing your joy and tears

I’m 52 and this is a work of genius. It’s taking so many influences from 70s and 80s and combining them into something new and better. I am crying too. Reminds me of watching MTV for hours and recording albums off the college radio station in 1985.

Kraftwerk, Blancmange, Depeche Mode & OMD all over. With a proper modern twist. Got the 'A Way Forward' album today on CD. Wonderful stuff. This isn't just 80's nostalgia, it's a new version of what them genius's did back then. This band really is refreshing to hear

Underrated song. One scene from a film or series will bring people to this music video in years to come.

What started out as Devaney "fooling around" on a keyboard later evolved into Nation of Language, with the addition of Devaney's partner Noell and former Static Jacks bandmate Sue-Poi..

Absolutely love this 80's synth pop sound. Additionally, Ian has mastered the dance moves of Sam Herring from Future Islands

This is like a beautiful time capsule from 1988. I bloody love it.

This could have been written 40 years ago. Then again, it’s still brilliant. It would have been a hit in 1981. Hopefully it will be a hit today.

Takes me back to being 16 in 1981. OMD, Electricity. Happy days.

This is the band I never knew I wanted to be in

Heard it once, instantly loved it. Took me right back to the music I loved during the 80's.

not gonna lie that dancing robot is godly..cool track..melds well with the robot

Definitely would be one of Silence of the Lambs Buffalo Bill's favourites.

this guy plays very well the music of our adolescence and he was not even born. maybe he envies us a little.

Great song... this band gets better with every release...

Great song and video ... and extremely danceable! 💙🙏

This is going to be legendary!

Great Sound...

You’re making this 80s child very happy, keep it up. And this is my favourite song of the album, such a bop.

These guys were frozen in the '80s by some mad evil scientist... and someone finally brought them out to thaw...... and whoever saved this band is my hero.....Thank you!!! 🤩🤘😁

i grew up in the 60s and loved the 80s music. When i first heard this i thought of Human League and OMD. Very pumped listening to this. Will probably get the whole album on Itunes.

I saw them play last night and they were fantastic! See them live! So much joy, fun, dancing....beautiful wash of sound.

AS a 58 yr old listening to early 80's synth pop this is so nostalgic and wonderful, to hear a band bring this era back to life.

All of their music is so good 🙏

Glad someone is trying to bring the WAVE back. Also, knowing all the locations in this video (no Homo) :-)

Why is no one talking about this amazing little toy?

awesome song! vibes ... vibes .... vibes.

These guys eat pizza and White Castle and write beautifully dreamy music. Yet I eat these things and just sleep. Can’t wait for the full length!

Saw Nation of Language at The Independent in San Francisco. Great show!!!

Authentic sounding new retro, even the filming has an early 80's look to it. Love it! He's got a Crispin Glover vibe to him, and that's a huge compliment.

Takes me back to my 20s. A happy place. Great sound!

This is the best tune I have heard since The Knife. Magnificent.

Wow! I love this. Always loved Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and OMD. This is great!

As someone who didn’t grow up in the 80s, to me this is a fresh sound that has this new age sound that bands like future islands and to a lesser extent tame impala are bringing to us. Can’t wait for the show in April, been listening nonstop.

One of their best!

love the new track. dancing in my kitchen this morning

I'm in love with this band! I got to know about Ian n NOL thanks to Fab Moretti and Machinegum! These guys are so genuine and easy to love. Loved every single track they've made so far and I'm sure they're gonna become huuuge!

NOL & White Castle. A combo I didn't know I needed.

"...crippling innuendo ....I want to find meaning and motion....I'm not the one..." love

LA FRANCE AIME !!! BRAVO !!!!!!!!!

Can’t wait

A glorious mixture of OMD,China Crisis, Depeche Mode and Blamange. Sez it all. Gazzmondo.🥑🥑

So good. Early Adele he Mode …….OMD….yes!

Looooove Nation Of Language. Thank you for making more music!

Absolutely love this song , so 80's and so so brilliant . I can't stop listening to it. I'd love to see them live.

Love the sound! Takes me right back to the 80's : ) So cool that those types of music are being re-born/created in and by younger generations!

Like the 1st notes of Ceremony on New Order Substance~ the Jesus truth Bible on New wave & synth. Damn this is bone rattling good. Yum. Needed a pick me up mid~week... Suicide? Magnetic Fields. Electro wizardry

This group is just so good.

Your're my favourite new band. I have consumed anything that you've put out so far. Can't wait to see you live guys

love.

So good. Touching.

This song and video are fantastic! Can't wait for the LP!!

Fabulous. Fabulous. 👍🏻

Omg . This is every British industrial city video I ever saw in the 80s . This band is doing it BETTER, though. The album is astonishing. I’m going to come out of retirement for this band! This is for the cool kids of 1984.

Amazing sounds so old so fresh. I love it.

Gets better and better with every listen.

Loving this! What a fantastic combination of influences.

how is this not in the millions?
