He's a Clever Dick

Feargal reunited with Vince for a one-off performance of this song at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm in 2011. He hadn’t performed in front of a crowd in 20 years

Still one of the best songs from the 80's

Vincent Clarke - Genius Synthpop ! DM/The Assembly/Yazoo/Erasure...Greets From Poland ;-)

Vince Clarke is a musical legend!

Vince, was one of the most prolific songwriters and performers of the eighties, his time with Fergal ,then Alison was great, he helped propel them to the great artists they are today, if you watch his interviews ,he say why he moved on till he found Andy, thank you for the great music Vince. I play his music daily. The eighties was the last great decade of incredible music.

This song is so sad. I love New Wave but never heard this one until today. Made me tear up.

Beautiful. I had the enormous pleasure of seeing Fergal and Vince performing this at the Roundhouse in Camden.

God bless the Travellers in this video.. I hope they went on to live good long lives...

At the time i was amazed how Vince Clarke got a strum effect from a synth. Frickin' genius!

Vince Clark, one of unsung heroes of music, one of those who set the direction for music in the '80s.

So melancholic, so excellent, a bit underrated. For me one of the greatest

VINCE....perfect Songwriting....Depeche Mode - Speak and Spell - ONLY YOU - Robert Marlow. GENIUS OF OUR GENERATION!!!!!

Happy birthday, Mr. Feargal Sharkey! 🤩

Fergal and Vince is amazing.

I come from similar circumstances. I can tell you word for word the conversations between the adults, the fights and sheer frustration of life. For kids, it matter very little because that’s all we knew.

wunderschöner Song, das waren noch Zeiten.

This song should've became a radio hit song in the U.S.

This is gorgeous and I wish they would've delivered us a full album. You can hear so many of the seeds of Wonderland in this song.

Vince Clarke = Genius

Two genius together. Their work was very short and very bright. Like a fuse. Maybe that was the way it was ment to be, but I still dream of a reunion.

I forgot all about this song and hadn’t heard it in over 30 years. What a lovely blast from the past!

Vince sound signature is timeless!

Beautiful beautiful song

As we all get older and our distance from the wonderful musical eighties increases, songs like this are jewels that we should never be parted from. Feargal and Vince, huge thanks for making this song and vid..To the uploader, thanks for bringing back wonderful youthful memories..

Word. One of the quirkiest hits in 1984, by far the greatest year in music in my view. I remember it well.

The pictures in the clip are incredible... this family, kids, dogs, leave in the caravane. Where is? Who are this family? What have they become today?

Merci pour cette vidéo. A regarder et écouter sans modération en 2024 comme en 1983. 41 ans et toujours pas une ride (sauf sur mon visage) ! Ce morceau est sur ma playlist depuis 1984 et n'est pas prêt d'en sortir.

i knew this song and forgot about it, but then i heard it in gta vcs and almost spilled my drink... now i remember playing that game, driving sports car at midnight thru vice beach, put emotions radio and enjoy 1980s neon lights....

Still a tremendous song. The B side Stop/Start was a really good instrumental as well.

Do you think this was made in the 1950s or something? They very much had computers when this was released, no computers, no synths. 80s Synthesisers were to all intents and purposes computers filled with chips and electronics. Even I had a computer back then and I was 6/7 - a Commodore 16+ iirc, might have been the Vic20. The 80s is best known for being electronic music wise, all synths and drum loops - Stock Aitken and Waterman would never have made it big without computers (which wouldn't have been a bad thing).

By this stage, Vince was well into using the Fairlight CMI - a very expensive, computer-based synthesizer - along with various sequencers and other computerized electronic music gadgets. While his music itself was composed of simple melodies stitched together, the process was very much hi-tech at the time.

@bwest6275

Vince made it clear he was an early adopter of computers in music, so much so that they allowed him to make his own music without the need for others. If you enjoyed his music in the ‘80s onwards, you’ll very much see him reliant of a computer.

@@pittibarlin8692 The Commodore 16 wasn't released until 1984, while the VIC-20 had been available since 1980, if this would help. Before he started using computers, Vince used sequencers, which could loosely be considered a form of computing. He was indeed an early adopter of computers in music, starting with the Fairlight CMI and then swithing to the UMI software running on a BBC Micro computer, which he ended up using through the 1980s.

Amazing song

I knew Vince was in The Assembly but had never heard their stuff. Had no idea Feargal Sharkey was involved. Awesome.

He also created DM and set them on the path to success before leaving, and then he created Yazoo and Erasure. I have nothing to say other than simply that Vince is amazing.

Even though there were no words the B-side Stop/Start was brilliant

Weekly dances at the Roundabout and then the Roxy downtown Barrie - this was my favorite song to slow dance to - I couldn't wait for Saturday nights. Does anyone slow dance anymore? If we ever invent a time machine I don't think I could go back because I wouldn't trust myself to return.

Besides good heart this is by far his greatest song beautiful vocals

lovely electro-ballad and strange video. 3 guys who looked nothing like pop stars but made some brilliant music.

An amazingly creative person! Not one effort he’s created that I didn’t love. The bleachers just put an * on it!

80s music videos are the best

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!

The best .

Truly gorgeous, a lost link between Yazoo, Erasure - and a certain Talk Talk. Plus there's a ghostly presence of "One Day" Vince delivered with Paul Quinn, another gorgeous crooner ballad.

I think Vince Clarke and Chris Lowe (Pet Shop Boys) were having a competition in the 1980's to see which of them could look the most suicidal in videos/on stage. Both of them looked so moody pretty much all the time.
