How this never reached the UK top 10 is one of the biggest mysteries in chart history. A profoundly honest and provocative track that oozes class and integrity. Still hits the spot almost 20 years later - amazing!

Words cannot describe the beauty of this masterpiece of a song.

"1234" is still one of the best pop albums ever made, despite the fact that group itself changed. The singles were awesome, I still don't understand that it wasn't a success at all.

I bought this record when it came out. I thought it was a gem. Never saw any of the videos. Betsi is beautiful. It was very different to the previous groups sound, but just as good. Thanks.

so many memories.......

love betsys voice

magical.....

Great Song, Delicate Video and a beautiful singer. A pleasure to watsch and hear...

No matter what You say, for me its powerful pop song and I really enjoy listening to it.

The best album ever 1234

Aguanten los 90 locoooo, la mejor época!!!!!!!?

me encantan los temas de propaganda!!!!

it`s a pleasure to my ears...

Betsi Miller,where are you now,that voice turns my spine to mush,Claudia Brucken had a great voice but not in Betsi's league,the 1234 album is all superb.

Betsi Miller the best voice and the most beautiful!!!❤

...It's a decent track in its own right,but when folk think 'Propaganda',they don't imagine smooth,power-ballad.Like 'Heaven Give Me Words',this reminds me of some track you'd find lost in an American 'feel-good movie'....see the credits rolling as you leave the cinema!

when i was younger, I thought this album was just so so after listening to A Secret Wish...but now I think it's way better and more mature.

Absolutely. It's still shocking that this and "A Secret Wish" are by the 'same' artist.

Beautifull song😍😍""

There are still surprisingly "philosophical" moments on "1234". Most of the original-line-up swept away for the occasion - but then, "A Secret Wish" while remaining a favourite, wasn't recorded by consistent line-up either - which happens to have changed between "Disziplin" in 1983 and "Wishful Thinking in 1985. Propaganda was always more of a studio project of joint forces (an interesting bunch of people actually... The trademark sound was indeed too strong on "A Secret Wish" for "1234" to compare, but I accept the fact Propaganda mk II weren't even considering to repeat any of the formula that made their debut a bigger favourite. At the time this was a bit too sophisticated or say - "boring" - but from a time distance of 24 years, "1234" is one of those best underrated albums that define the true side of what is "adult-pop". And having the original Simple Minds' rhythm section in the line-up, the gorgeous Betsi Miller singing respectfully, keeping some of the early artsy moments + Michael Mertens and Suzanne Freitag still contributing... Maybe the whole of Propaganda is way too much credit given to Claudia Brücken alone - while she gave it a voice and a face, Propaganda is too strong a collective rather than just work of one person. Which again, makes "1234" like an old red wine, forgotten - but just as tasty.

Si, en la bio de Wikipedia de Tessa Niles, aparece como "Backing vocals" genérica en el album 1234 de propaganda, así que no dudo de que haya participado en esta canción en particular. Larga vida a la cantante de sesión más extraordinaria de la historia.

To my knowledge, there are two instrumentals : "Count zero" ["Heaven give me words" B-side] and "Open spaces" ["Only one word" b-side].

Esto es voz y talento, no la basura prefabricada que escuchan hoy las nuevas generaciones.

This is NOT Propaganda. Claudia was GONE.

Klimat odmienny od poprzednich Propagandowych kawałków, ale kocham ten kawałek. Beczeć się chce od nagromadzonych emocji, jakkolwiek generalnie piosenki "rozstaniowe";) to nic godnego uwagi. Świetna.

The era pre-autotune. Such a lovely time. and I love how the word that resides between you and me is never stated. The video is very Bond-intro-esque....

Bellissima canzone! Betsi stupenda!!! Però non erano più i veri Propaganda...

I saw Derek Forbes playing with Big Country early this year, just before he left the band. Not sure what he is doing now. And yes, it is Dave Gilmore on guitar.

Excellent pop....Betsi Miller

It's not Propaganda, but it's a beautiful song.

Temazo

Esta canción me hace recordar cuando trabaje en el incidente roswell...

Linda linda

Claudia Brucken was awesome but this is still a great track, always thought it sounded like a Bond theme!

Class...

I love voice Betsi Miller's

Y si nos faltaba algo, además del solo de guitarra del guitarrista de Pink Floyd, es que creo que en los coros de esta canción está la inmortal Tessa Niles. Cartón lleno.

Superbe groupes belle époque révolue malheureusement

You're spot-on with your comments. Shockingly bland - there's an interview on here somewhere from 1984 where they're talking about their determination to make high-quality original pop. They completely blew it, which suggests that they owed everything to Claudia, Trever Horn and Paul Morley for the brilliance of their debut album.

My youth

I purchased this when it came out, but was very unhappy with it. Not what I expected. I was able to find a few 12" singles that Claudia Brückenj did on her own. Much more like the original bad before the split.

Buen clasico

Betsi miller 4 ever

The video reminds me of a James Bond intro!!!

I believe that's Betsi Miller.

You talk about Pink Floyd and it's funny because David Gilmour exactly plays guitar on that song... Personally, being a fan of Claudia Brücken doesn't prevent me from thinking that this song is very interesting.

have you any idea were? or wath news of her? thanks @arvidasentaja

Linda

Spot-on 'whereitsat309'...Propaganda went from distinctive sound and an identity to this schmaltsy fodder. Distinctive? Never in a million years. Sorry folks,but this is instantly forgettable.

Propaganda que no era Propaganda, sin embargo, una canción hermosa

ahh... my point exactly....

1234.....should have been 5678 and more. One of the best bands ever.

Without Brucken they had no voice, no charisma and no taste. The guitar solo is unforgiveable but the production and every single instrumental part played is 80's hell itself. The song is the most despicable slice of corporate emptiness I've ever heard.

linda

Like propaganda. Like this song too.

this song shows just how much Propaganda depends on Claudia Brucken. I love the "James Bond / Albert Broccoli" esque film overlay... just underscores the schmaltz... compare this to Claudia's "absolut(e)" - which is dreamy and beautiful... also check out her cover of "because the night" which lurks here on youtube - it's delicious!!!

Si totalmente coinsido! es la voz mas dulce que escuche! aparte buen tema!. @patojaime7337

Swoją drogą, nie wiem dlaczego nie grają Propagandy w żadnym radiu

This record was magnifico, they did the right thing moving away from germanic sound, don't get me wrong it was great but things had changed, everyone had moved on.

It's like the band turned a completely gendre. They were a German alternative music band then it turned into this pop music crap. Yes it is like James Bond tribute video.

any notice the guitar player???? its mr gilmour himself. from Floyd!!
