This is a truly great song deserving of every accolade. This band was way ahead of its time. Only had Heyday for two weeks back in '86 and it got stolen outta my car. Never developed a relationship with this song... Now, I am reacquainting myself with an old lover. Brilliant!

One of the most underrated Aussie rock bands ever!!!

Imagine the satisfaction that must come from penning a song so mercurial, so shimmering and so melodicly perfect. I'm from Ireland, but this beauty transports me to an empty beach in Australia

My fave song off Heyday. Great vocal by Steve Kilbey and the melody and chorus is simply breathtaking

This album is so great. Brilliant lyrics. A staple at my home in California. My teenagers love them, too.

that is truly cool

So many rememberings : Ten miles beach , Violet town !! Love it

One of my all time faves. It's a total summer album. Love every second.

This brings back so many memories... must have listened to this beauty a thousand times, and it hasn't lost anything of its magic through the centuries. This is from heaven.

Man look at Marty Willson Piper! The most beautiful , coolest looking guitar player in rock n roll history.

I absolutely agree he is a good looking rooster greetings from manly australia

First time to see this video , in 2020. 35 years late ! Amazing.

Steve Kilbey's voice is amazing, and the band is incredible. Heyday,Remote Luxury and Starfish are excellent!!!

Never gets old

immortal group, beautiful music, greetings from vienna

We loved them in Peru

Damn Steve is good looking and voice is just amazing :)

Memories of high-school!

Thank you made my day perfect, when i lost my heyday album i thought never gonna hear this band again, tried collecting my generations wave music again., compiled many but a lot is still missin, found it here, I really missed this band.

first time i heard this album was in 97 through a streaming online 80s alternative raddio station. many thanks for that station

I belive in The Church!!!!

brilliant chorus, band, 1986 for me

the church me encantan. From spain

a transcendent masterpiece from a masterpiece album from a genius!

Love how they have their great country in the video.... love Steve's bass guitar..

Can't wait to see them in July in Flagstaff Arizona!!! Will be my first time ever after 30 years.

My personal favourite is 'Heyday', though 'Seance' is wonderful - underrated too. But then, I love their entire catalogue! :D Greetings from the UK

sad to say,we don't hear much Australian music here in the states,I think it's some of the best music made

amazing!

wow, nakita ko din ang grupong the Church, gagandang lalake pala sila; paborito ko ang kantang ito since elementary pa lang ako. tanx sa video.

Great video, one of my favorite tunes off HEYDAY. Reminds of a favorite Doctor Who quote (the Matt Smith era): 'Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end. Just not necessarily in that order.' "Already Yesterday," indeed. Trust our favorite Aussies to get the Doctor's point across before he even thought of it Well... from our perspective. Thanks for posting, stevekilbey2.

This is one of my favorite Church songs, and I'm pleasantly surprised that they made this video, as the song is not as well-known as their singles. This song is from probably one of their top 3 albums (IMHO) "Heyday". Thanks for posting!

Seeing them next Friday, April 8, 2016. @ Sons of Hermann Hall, Dallas, TX. Kicking off the N.A. Tour!!!

chills . . .

always and ever and only the church

One of Australia's greatest bands. This tune speaks to me like "Working Class Man" does for a bogan. I like bogans too but I like the Church more...

Fookin CLASSIC!!!!

love the song, but never seen the video. had no idea it was even made!! (i have "jokes, magic & souvenirs", and it is conspicuously absent on there.....

Seeing them tonight in Los Angeles!

+Bobainthome - I agree, I am a straght man however caught onto his look in 85 or so. Sort of a male Chrissy Hynde. Admittedly I tried to copy that look for a while in the 80s. I saw him live on a solo show in 2004 or something. Met him and he looked like he should be my older brother or something. Got him to sign my Art Attack LP. As it happens we still look similar in old age for better or worse, still got the long hair and sometimes grey beard. Too bad he abandoned the band. Used to think he did all the cool guitar parts in the Church (part of which is true) but Peter as it turns out is the soul of the guitar parts in it. Bless both of them. And Tim Powles who brought them back to life for those wonderful albums in the 90s.

He still is in my opinion, because his features are there, but truly one might not acknowledge this properly thinking of how amazingly handsome he was at the time! And his personality made the rest..yes, a beautiful man. Oh wait, also talented! :)

This was on the original version of the Church's collected video singles, but for some reason was cut off "Jokes Magic and Souvenirs". I never understood why. Sure, they added a couple more tracks to JM&S but why did they cut this? I'll never understand.

It has occurred to me that Kilbey sings a bit like Peter Perrett of Only Ones on the early tracks.

@parachuteclubbed What??? No love for Priest=Aura. That album is incredible!

@digmacdiggydoo I don't think they ever gave a sh*t about what anyone thought ... Jove bless them.

Great song from there best record. But I have to wonder if the video hurt sales of this song when it came out? There is nothing enjoyable about watching people putting large things in there nose.

amazing record. I still am amazed at the beauty and lyrical accomplishment of it - i have owned several copies since 1986.... but can anyone upload a decent sounding copy ? this is awful ..... it ruins the enjoyment of an amazing piece of work - In any case, it's a record which still amazes me.

You could buy the CD, that's the best sound quality you will get - and support the band as well. Just sayin'...

@vitorro1970 hola! the church son de Australia...

*"p Hey Steve ;)

'we won't listen to the lizard part of our brain'

@1970michplar ditto

Remember: Do not listen to the lizard part of your brain

When the meek finally inherit what's left of the the Earth, this track will be one of the songs played on the great boombox at the great table. Oh dear I gush, but what a great fucking melody. And I do mean what a great melody to fuck to.

@cuntsgab Mechanical bird of prey sing for your emperor Last broken flash of love still in the camera do the lyrics in church songs ever mean anything? or does steve kilbey just think the words sound mysterious and ethereal? great music though

Great song from a great album. Band is not the same without Marty

Wht😂👋

Love this song, but this video is just too... "National Geographic" for the song. What were they thinking? Oh well, at least the band looks cool.

A good song but not a single here in the UK. Disenchanted was better.

It baffles me. The music of The Church is better than 99.9 percent of all other music but they have the worst videos than the rest..go figure..
