This song will always remind me of my co-worker. I sang the opening the lyrics randomly one night while I was having a smoke with my co-worker in her old chevy truck while on break at work. It was a typical a chilly winter night. She turned and said to me that she loved that song and I asked "whats the name of that song? i only know the lyrics" (my memory is terrible for songs). She told me the name of the song and the band. She told me of how it reminded her of her younger days. Rest in Peace Darleen, I'll never forget you.

I always loved Canadian rock from the eighties. It had a rawness, a purity that was not matched by bands from any other country at the time. The music was very unique. As a yank from the States; my 83 Ford Escort's radio cassette player played tapes (yes, tapes) from such bands as Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, Haywire, Corey Hart, Frozen Ghost, and many others from the Great White North. I would give anything to go back to the Spring of 89', driving down some back country road in the area I grew up, while listening to "New Girl Now".

This was on the radio and he harmonized as I drove him to his cancer treatment. I'll never forget his voice... he was 31. So its bittersweet every time I hear it. Happy tears now.

I guess the only that really mattered was CFNY 102.1 FM and the multitude of diverse music being played ABC/Aztec Camera - Yazoo/Paul Young and many artists in between!

As I write this, I just heard this over the radio while at work during cleanup and I just paused.....more like froze in time. I couldn't even work anymore. All I could think about was this song and I immediately shouted out does anyone know the name? No one, of course, could help me....but I found out the radio station and followed their playlist throughout the day and here I am. The chorus just froze me and for a split second.....time had stopped and I was flooded by a wave of nostalgia. I know I have heard this song once before as a child. I was born in 1982 so I had some memories of the 80's even though I wasn't old enough during those years. Thank god for music like this. Suddenly flashes of my life appeared before my eyes all because of a goddamn song. Incredible, incredible. One of the best damn melodies of the 80's and they're from my hometown of Canada. Geeez.....no wonder they're not more known.

This is one of those songs that I would hear on the radio and really liked but never was able to find out the artist or title. I would happen to catch it part way through after the DJ had already introduced it (maybe) or when it ended the next song would begin and anyway, I never found out. Gradually I'd hear it less and less and it was finally forgotten. Today driving home from work I put on my Daily Mix from Spotify and they had added this song. How clever of them. I nearly cried at the sudden wave of nostalgia that hit me.

There were a TON of local garage bands that played the circuit around the Winnipeg Area.

Is it that I have finally hit that point in my life where searching for 80's songs is a dire attempt to bring back the best years of my life? 18 with a 14$ an hour job and a 78 Impala living at home and my only responsibilities were good grades,stay off the pot and don't knock up my girlfriend who is now my wife. I think I will go cry now.

I'm 68 years old and this song brings back so many great memories. Always makes me happy.
THE most underrated tune of the 1980’s.
This song will always remind me of my co-worker. I sang the opening the lyrics randomly one night while I was having a smoke with my co-worker in her old chevy truck while on break at work. It was a typical a chilly winter night. She turned and said to me that she loved that song and I asked "whats the name of that song? i only know the lyrics" (my memory is terrible for songs). She told me the name of the song and the band. She told me of how it reminded her of her younger days. Rest in Peace Darleen, I'll never forget you.
I always loved Canadian rock from the eighties. It had a rawness, a purity that was not matched by bands from any other country at the time. The music was very unique. As a yank from the States; my 83 Ford Escort's radio cassette player played tapes (yes, tapes) from such bands as Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, Haywire, Corey Hart, Frozen Ghost, and many others from the Great White North. I would give anything to go back to the Spring of 89', driving down some back country road in the area I grew up, while listening to "New Girl Now".

As I write this, I just heard this over the radio while at work during cleanup and I just paused.....more like froze in time. I couldn't even work anymore. All I could think about was this song and I immediately shouted out does anyone know the name? No one, of course, could help me....but I found out the radio station and followed their playlist throughout the day and here I am. The chorus just froze me and for a split second.....time had stopped and I was flooded by a wave of nostalgia. I know I have heard this song once before as a child. I was born in 1982 so I had some memories of the 80's even though I wasn't old enough during those years. Thank god for music like this. Suddenly flashes of my life appeared before my eyes all because of a goddamn song. Incredible, incredible. One of the best damn melodies of the 80's and they're from my hometown of Canada. Geeez.....no wonder they're not more known.

This is one of those songs that I would hear on the radio and really liked but never was able to find out the artist or title. I would happen to catch it part way through after the DJ had already introduced it (maybe) or when it ended the next song would begin and anyway, I never found out. Gradually I'd hear it less and less and it was finally forgotten. Today driving home from work I put on my Daily Mix from Spotify and they had added this song. How clever of them. I nearly cried at the sudden wave of nostalgia that hit me.

jeffiecapello I agree the spirit of radio was soundtrack of my teens youth in TORONTO (I was born in 1971), I still go to retro parties w DJ Shannon at velvet underground and sometimes she spins at dance cave - above Lees Palace. These venues are where I hear retro new wave music....

It fully encapsulates (my word for the day) the feeling of being a teen in the 80’s - the hope and heartbreak. Someone invent a working time machine already...

Loved this song.
A truly beautiful song,a amazing video clip...oh the 80s...the best decade in music,movies and television..today music is garbage, a lot of technology has damaged movies and television shows are useless and unfunny!
I still hear this song when walking through a mall or in a restaurant and it always makes me stop to listen. The video has just as much impact as well. I have yet to hear music with the same quality and impact as it did back then. I'm proud to say the 80's music was part of my era.
I remember buying this album when I was 15 and wore out the record by playing this song over and over, fantastic song
Strange Advance is touring into 2024. Mostly Drew Arnott and some VERY talented musicians that genuinely know their craft and have a love of music... they sound great live !
A great Canadian band! Great, great, GREAT song. One of my "desert island" songs.
I can be walking in a mall and far off in the distance of a large flagship store I could swear I hear this song! I will stop, say to my wife "do you hear that" she will say "hear what" I will then rush to a ceiling speaker that I can hear it the best and stop and with a big grin start moving to the beat. This pissed my wife off to no end but I just can't help it, this song never grows old for me!!!!
What an Amazing time to be alive!! Long Live the 80's!!!

Still sends a chill down my spine!thanks guys!!!
Funny how back then...life seemed so hard. Here we are many many years later and alot smarter...sometimes wish I could go back!! The 70's and 80's were the time for sure!!
Electric drums….electric keyboards…..big hair….turned up collars……shoulder pads….skinny ties!….trench coats return…. The beat….the 80s. They were the best of times, they were the wor….no, they were the best of times.
Always good to see recognition of Canadian performers. Even from the US. I think I still have my LP of Worlds Away/Strange Advance. Thirty-odd years later.

Only the Brits and Canadians were doing this kind of music
This song sure helped me through my depression-filled teen years, whew!
Some songs have the strange ability to conjure emotions from that time in your life and you may not even know why. For me, this is one of those songs. I'm listening with my soul rather than my ears. Melodie by Boys Brigade was another.
MY GOODNESS, ANOTHER GREAT SONG, 💓🤩 IS SOO SAID, THAT ALL THIS MUSIC ALMOST DISAPPEARS ON THE TIME
Strange advance is from Vancouver Bc Canada I live in Vancouver so yay their is a good band from my city!

I trust it was a great show ... 😊
Phenomenal music and song and Canadian at that!
Is it that I have finally hit that point in my life where searching for 80's songs is a dire attempt to bring back the best years of my life? 18 with a 14$ an hour job and a 78 Impala living at home and my only responsibilities were good grades,stay off the pot and don't knock up my girlfriend who is now my wife. I think I will go cry now.
Man..I haven't heard this song in like 25 freakin years! God, it takes me back to my high school dances in 83/84! I was into the New Wave scene, burgundy hair, baggy suits, frilly shirts, eye liner! LOL! God did I ever love those days!
I'm 67,and was 29 first time I heard this... Still makes me feel young to take on the world
great tune - I forgot all about it _ I didn't know that they were Canadian. Another one hit wonder 80s were full of them lol thanks
I’m here because of the Lux Windows commercial flooded me with a wave of nostalgia after hearing this song in the 5 seconds it was on-screen. Glad I was able to track down the song and bands name. I first heard this tune in the 80’s and haven’t heard it since.
wow! Emotions and tears...the eighties are always living....
Thanks for the strange advance music videos.....how much I miss the 80s, music take my breathe away...so mesmerizing and awesome.....these bands in the 80s just spectacular......bring back many great memories.....

Synthasizers, keyboards, electic guitars, and drum machines. It doesn't get much more simplistic than that. :)
There was some amazing music in the 80s but I have to say this is probably in my top 10.The music of the 80s wasn’t all auto tuned these were all talented artists.
This is such a strong chilling song. 🔥💫
It is sad to lose loved ones,it haunts you for life.This is an amazing song that has also stuck with me forever.
something nostalgic about this song!! de'ja'vu like🤔..even when it first came out on radio😎
A diamond in the rough!
This song immediately puts me on a ski hill in Quebec, where I was when I first heard it. A most decent memory I must say.

Oh ya. Heard many a great 80s song on thd Murray Hill bus to the slopes up north of Montreal.
Ahhh the 80s. What a time lost.
how this didnt end up in a 80s movie with john cusack or molly ringwald is surprising. classic cheezy video, but great song.
1985 was a seriously good time to be 27 years old...

I've heard this tune played on both 104.5 CHUM FM and Boom 97.3 Toronto! Very good song! Too bad songs like this one were never popular enough to be played on American radio stations back then. Canada sure had talented bands back then and sadly overlooked in the USA.

pretty amazing song
Yes, I remember Good Rockin Tonight , I had some really great friends in the 80's and the music was so great ❤
They’re touring right now, May 2023, get out and see them Canada! ❤
Just WHAT was in the Canadian air in the 80s that produced so many amazing bands - so many great tunes? Like this one... I miss the Canadian 80s like I lived through them. Hey wait - I did!
I had this on casette and drove over 12 hours to my worksite from Winnipeg to N Manitoba, my sound system costed more than the car, but honestly it was like the soundtrack to my life, long lonely ride, wouldnt trade it for the world, makes me happy and sad at the same time
True 80's tune love it
This song gets a lot of airplay on Q107 Toronto today even though it never hit #1...good pop 80s tune!

I'm 22 but I completely agree with what your'e saying- I would do ANYTHING to have grown up in the 80s- Here's to hoping that the music we have coming will be comparable :)
this song is a banger.
These songs remind me of a simpler time! How quickly time flys.
The energy from this song builds,just love the feeling from this one,thanks.
Thanks to CBC's Good Rockin' Tonight for introducing me to great Canadian artists like Strange Advance !
Yet another great Canadian band.
I would really like to see a video to World's Away. That, too, is a great song. Upon seeing this video, I realized that I hadn't heard the song or seen the video since it aired on MTV back in the 80's. I was ten years old. It was a pleasant surprise and this song is still just as good as I first remembered hearing it.
❤ I remember! Fantastic time...
I LOVE Strange Advance and of course 80's Music!!! xoxoxoxo : )
