@@DaveAndBeth1978 Thank you Dave. The music of the 70s and 80s never compared to the 40s and 50s. That's what the generation of that era would say if they were still here. Let each generation live their own story, not yours. Your folks who thought Bowie was a weirdo in the 70s and would rather Matt Monroe from the 50s, let you all decide for yourselves. So let the younger gen do the same.

This is such a poignant reminder of my teenage years growing up in Northern Ireland. I met and fell in love with a guy from the other side of the divide in Northern Ireland. We tried to make it work but my parents like his were very staunch in their beliefs and past history of our wee country. Where Marty came from was a very republican stronghold and it was dangerous for him to date a girl from the other side of the barricades and if caught he no doubt would of got a punishment beating. Unfortunately the relationship couldn't survive on love alone. With the distance between us and the bitterness shown towards two contentious religions we reluctantly parted. To this day its one of my biggest regrets and I often think of him and what he's doing now. I still have a special place in my heart for him and always will 💕

This song gave Spandau Ballet the last of their 10 top 10 hits in the UK,in the winter days of the last few weeks of 1986 when it got to number 6.

By far and away the best song they recorded, in a high-quality back catalogue. The hook from Gary Kemp is genius and the way the tension builds is a masterclass. Then, to top it all, there's Tony Hadley's soaring vocals. That "there's always one escape . . ." gets me every time. CLASSIC.

80s music is and will always be the best. Phenomenal groups like Spandau Ballet are the reason why!

Beautiful song, especially when you know the story behind the lyrics. Listening today , June 2nd, 2024, Tony Hadley's 64th birthday 🎂

Beautiful song and an example of where a terrible tragedy, inspires something of incredible timeless beauty. It is based of course, on a relationship set against the troubles of Northern Ireland, but was inspired by the song's writer Gary Kemp, visiting the grave of "Kidso" and then walking back down.the Falls Road. "Kidso" was a member of Spandau Ballet's merchandising team who was tragically killed by a soldier on his return to Belfast, after a SB tour had just ended. A case of someone so creative, being inspired by this senseless waste, that something of incredible depth, beauty, timelessness and pure emotion is created that can be an indelible mark on the troubles past, the living present and the hopeful future. RIP "Kidso". This will ensure that your memory will live forever.

"so come to me when I'm asleep, we'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets" beautiful stuff

Chi e' qui oggi 22 gennaio 24...indimenticabile...struggente...splendida...

I am 36 this year (2020) and this song reminds me of my late mother. She used to play spandau ballet cassettes in the car when I was a kid. Great memories. I would be honoured to have this as a song for my friends and family to remember me by. Strikes a chord with me like not many other songs could

I'm so glad I lived through the 80s. I feel so sorry for the kids today. They have no idea what they missed out on. Music nowadays is overall so basic.

"Through the Barricades" est l'un des plus beaux sons des années 80 que je connaisse. ✨

Nothing BEATS the 80s, when I hear the song of Spandau Ballet, it's like I am in the TIME warp

Mother doesn't know where love has gone She says it must be youth That keeps us feeling strong I see it in her face, that's turned to ice And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice And now I know what they're saying 'Cause our sun begins to fade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Father made my history He fought for what he thought Would set us somehow free He taught me what to say in school I learned it off by heart But now that's torn in two And now I know what they're saying In the music of the parade We made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Born on different sides of life We feel the same and feel all of this strife So come to me when I'm asleep We'll cross the line And dance upon the street And now I know what they're saying There's the drums begin to fade We made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Oh, turn around and I'll be there Oh, there's a scar through my heart but I'll bare it again Oh, I thought we were the human race But we were just another borderline case And the stars reach down and tell us There's always one escape Oh, I don't know where love has gone And in this trouble land Desperation keeps us strong Friday's child is full of soul With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go And now I know what they're are saying It's a terrible beauty we've made So we make our love on wasteland And through the barricades Now I know what they're are saying As hearts go to their graves We made our love on wasteland Oh, and through the barricades

I had heard this song a handful of times over 20 years, but never really took much notice of it. One night a year ago, I had a dream where I for some unknown reason had decided it was the most beautiful song ever written. I of course watched it many times on YT the next day, and was proven correct. My subconscious had obviously figured it out long before I did :)

The tears go stronger as the years get longer.

I’m 52 and so glad we had the best music around to listen to, if only the kids today had none violent gangsta rap to listen to, maybe the streets would be safer, and kids could be kids.

Tony Headley surely is one of the best male voices!!! The song is fantastically touching, masterpiece!!!

Beautiful song, that lives long after it was written. Fabulous and, I used to love this band when I was a kid. Now nearly 54 years old. One of my all time favourites

What a tune. They certainly don’t make songs like that anymore. Loved growing up in the 80’s, I’m 50 now and it makes me sad to know life will never feel as great as it did back then when this song came out. Awesome tune

Powerful voice, impeccable apperance- this is Hadley's calling card💖

Ti tocca il cuore. Ti catapulta d'incanto indietro agli anni '80. Anche se avanti con con l'età riesce ad emozionarti già dalle prime note, a chiuderti gli occhi ed a ricordarti i sogni di allora.....

I’m just turning 16 but I’ve learned to appreciate songs like this one because my father taught me to love music just as he loved it and us. This also reminds me that our parents always do their best to give us love, attention and support through the barricades. ❤
