This is a cover of an Italian song, originally from Raf, same title, Laura also covered Umberto Tozzi's "Gloria", Italy had a decent music scene in the 80s, better than now, IMO

I was only 9 when she died. I always had this song on the peripheral like many younger people will have thanks to GTA Vice City, but once I learned of her and her music properly a few years back I was genuinely sad to read she'd passed so long ago.

"You Take My Self Control", and "You Belong to the City" by Glenn Frey, at least for me. Mind you I was at least all of 10, 11 around the time. I was very musically mature at the time.

That reminds me of the 80s in NYC. Sneak out of the house in Brooklyn take the subway to Manhattan. You could end up in a hardcore punk club, new wave concert, crazy diner and real freak show in the subway heading back home before parents woke up. Thank God I survived.

The "EYES WIDE SHUT" of the 80's.

Finally! Been waiting awhile for this. This song is one of my favorites.

80s gold. RIP Laura.

One of my favorite songs from the 80's 😊

Laura was an AMAZING artist, may she Rest In Peace. Her (4-octave) voice was incredible! If you want to see where her voice truly shines, check out “Solitaire.” It’a a slow build to some incredible vocals. In fact, she holds one of the longest notes in pop history near the end of it. Gives me chills every time I hear it! ❤️❤️❤️ I also recommend “Shattered Glass,” “Ti Amo,” “The Lucky One,” and “The Power of Love,” yes, the Celine Dion song, originally sung by a Jennifer Rush, and then covered by Laura, and then Celine. Jennifer’s and Celine’s are beautiful but too polished, Laura’s is grittier with more emotion, and my favorite of the three because of it.

Very best song of 1984

The guy in the mask represents the "night" During the day she is fine. At night though she has no self control. She gives into the nights wishes of wherever you end up you end up. It's a metaphor for any fantasy you can come up with, can be found during the night. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll doesn't happen at 10am it happens at 10pm.

80s. Master musicians, master producers, new electro pop tech, and great melodies.

This in a nightclub/disco is really powerful.

Jay two more by Laura- Solitaire and How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. Yes Laura sang that song 7 yrs before Michael Bolton and with sooo much emotion. Solitaire you hear her voice range and it’s a straight 80s banger!

Most beautiful signer ever...bless her soul for leaving us with such a voice to listen to.

This song paints a pretty vivid picture.

So many '80s videos were freaky and weird, we didn't understand them either LOL. This is probably a metaphor for descending into her carnal desires or something, and of course there has to be a lot of interpretive dance and spandex lol

So glad to see you do another Laura Branigan song! This was probably my favorite from her, at the time. The video version is slightly different from the radio edit, but both are great.

Laura Branigan was a huge talent taken away too soon... all her recordings are special and still stand the test of time and i am thrilled to see a new generation loving Laura as much as we did back in the day..!

Now we talking this is a banger

Your videos make me smile! You have a good soul! Be blessed!

One of my all time favourites 🇬🇧❤️🎵

I'm sure I am not the only one who has mentioned this ... but "back in MY day" there was a show called Night Flights and it aired on TBS or something like that. Competition for MTV. Anyway, when this song first came out, it seemed like Night Flight (Nite Flite) was the only thing showing it. I would wait and wait for this to come on because it was such a great song and she was great and the video was great .. if I wasn't in the room when it finally came on, I'd go running down the hall and do my Tom Cruise slide to the front of the t.v. It was awesome, the 80's. Mock it all you want, but some of us oldsters who love your channel, love you for loving our music.

Self control is a song by an italian artist, Raf, if you want you can watch his version

Remember listening to this on my first Walkman over and over on 'the hits album' circa 83/84. She is stunning! So sad. I always thought the video was representing her sleepy fantasy rather than an actual night out...the 80's were cool and this was one of the best. Glad you played it to the finish! X
