Absolutely loved this song back when it was originally released, and still do. Ah yes... back when Rock, Punk, Ska & New Wave ruled. 😁

I remember the first time I heard this song!! It was 1982, at the US Festival. I loved it immediately!!

I remember this song like yesterday. And I'm 66! One of my very favorites.

It is almost a crime that Translator didn't become a huge act in the 80s. Clever, interesting lyrics, melodic, singable songs, they were just a terrific guitar-oriented rock band. Their albums weren't full of a bunch of "filler" tracks, either - virtually every track really rocked with a classic sound. Saw them live. My band played a cover of this - which was the probably their best effort. Good stuff! They can look back and be VERY proud!

I don't remember where I first heard this song, but I instantly fell in love with it.👍🏻💜👍🏻

I was in a group called the Marina Swingers that was fortunate enough to play the LA new wave punk scene in the late 70’s early 80’s. We did a number of shows with Translator - couple big rooms (Nobody’s, Swingers, Translator at the Troubador) and some other smaller dives. Though we played a complete different style of music, we always had a great time with Translator. First time I heard them do “Your Everywhere” I knew that was a classic song. They would knock the walls down - that vamp at the end was masterful. Great band and good guys. There was some special music back then.

Exactly what I thought when I heard this song past week while listening to my Weekly Discover by Spotify.

Saw them with X in SF in 1983. Surprisingly rocking band. After seeing them several more times, I finally grasped they WERE a rocking band. I think their sound suffered on No Time Like Now a little due to the overproduction so common then, but those guitars were big live. They were THIS close to making it.

Haunting voice. No auto tuner required.

Just one of the many great bands of the '80s. So much good music. So many good times. My life hasn't come close to as much fun since. Where are they now?

Man this song brings back some memories back in the 80s It was a fun time growing up.

Brings me back to tge record store at UCSD, winter 1981/82. Really fun.

As a recent transplant to SF in '84, this track served as my introduction to the local SF music scene and I can't tell you how big of an impression it made on me at the time. "Everywhere" received a copious amount of airplay and became somewhat of a gold standard for other local bands. For this small town boy, SF seemed like the "big city" but in fact it could not have been any smaller, so small that I had, at one point, ran into Steve Barton at a party in the Alamo Square part of town, having at one time shared a girlfriend in common. Her name was "Jill".

I keep coming back to this song.. so many years later. so amazing

One of the first songs played by "The Quake" San Francisco's new wave radio station in the early 80s. I remember the station going on the air at midnight, listening with an antenna radio from our roof 80 miles away in the Central Valley, desperate to leave farm town and to join the modern world. Translator provided hope you could sing along to.

Martha Quinn and Kurt Loder days. Why the fk can I remember this sh*t and not important stuff? A friend and his girlfriend call me the other night. They were watching old movies and had a question. So my friend asks me, "who played Captain Nemo in the original film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?" I mean, not even thinking of it for a second, I answer "James Mason." My gift, my curse. The wife and I were watching the movie "Children of Men" like 10 or 12 years after it's debuted. The movie is moving along and interesting. Then some music starts playing that I haven't heard in so long that I'm not really sure if I ever heard it at all. But after 5 chords it just came out of nowhere and I blurt out "King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King." How do I know this? Why do I know this? Before you ask, his name is Clive Owen. In the original movie "The Thing" the monster is played by James Arness of Gun Smoke fame. Spock's Father portrayed by Mark Lenard, also was The Romulan Commander in Star Trek Balance of Power. Allan Hale, Russell Johnson, Bob Denver, Jim Backus, Natalie Schaffer, Dawn Wells, and Tina Louise, aka, (Jonas Crumby The Skipper), (Roy Hinkley The Professor), (Thurston Howell III), (Lovey, Mrs. Howell) (Mary- Ann), (Ginger Grant).

WARPHEAD I have the same thing, I’ll hear a song and there’s a part of my brain that comes from the unconscious, it’s not something I am conscious of and every single time this happens I get the correct name of the artist or band. It feels like it comes from like the lower left rear part of my brain I don’t know why. It really is a THING that happens!

This song was awesome, I had a beat up cassette played it every day, God bless the 80's I'm still stuck in the 80's lol

I saw these guys play at a club in Sacramento in 1982. My brother got me on the guest list because he was producing the show. It was a lot of fun!

Columbia, (left of the dial, right in you ear) the "boom; pop; drop and sway of the smart, but laid back style of college radio. thank you

Am I the "youngest" person who loves this song? Heard "Everywhere I'm Not" once when I was seven years old in 1982 and for many years thought it was just a figment of my imagination that played in my head. Ten years later I called the college radio station in my town (WRPI) and asked if they had a song called "Everywhere I'm Not" even though I didn't know the band's name or even if the song was even real. By some miracle the DJ knew the song and threw it on the radio. Finally, I learned the band's name and could get my hands on the track. I still think this is one of the best songs of the '80s.

First heard in the early 80s on college radio but could never find it. Heard it on Serious XM /first wave a few days ago first time in ages.

I was stationed in Seattle when this song was played on KYYX - Seattle's new wave station at the time. Immediately bought the album even though I didn't have a record player. I kept it in my record collection (still in it's plastic wrap) until 2012 when a friend offered me $200 for it. I took it! Thanks Translator! 😊

I love this song! What a great song! A lost gem, a forgotten classic. Great chords, great lyrics, vocals and a Killer bass-line! I get this song playing in my head when I'm a-struttin' & a-strollin' down the avenue. Especially when I see somebody ahead who looks like someone I used to know but turns out to be somebody else. Then I wonder where they are. Then I wonder where I am. And where are you? Who cares: it's just a great song!

This was on all the time on KJET in Seattle.I still sing it to myself while driving .

I saw them in 1984 at UNLV. Great show.

I’m kind of surprised this is 1982. I was a very young child in 1982 and I don’t remember it from back then. Live 105 in San Francisco played this song quite a bit in the late 1980s, early 1990s when I was in middle and high school, and that’s what I remember it from. In my memories, this song is immediately followed by “Anything, Anything” by Dramarama, and then “Orange Crush” by REM.

Wow. Another song I haven't heard in a long time. This tune was a staple of KROQ back in the day for sure. Love it or hate it now, the early to mid eighties was a fun time to be a teenage music freak.

I haven’t heard this song in years! Love it ! I was listening to Sirius station 33 in my car yesterday and this song came on and it took me back to the 80’s growing up in the Valley in SoCal. Life was so different then…me and my friends went cruising Van Nuys Blvd on Wednesday nights and listening to KROQ ..Good times.

A local band I saw a lot. Nice guys but we were in a rival band. It's an incredible song! They could write!

Saw these guys on MTV in the early 80's and was hooked immediately! Still one of my favorite songs of all time❤

nothing wrong with one hit wonders..they fuel a great deal of the great music I like.

One of my favorites from back in the 80’s. I still love it! Brings back great memories of simpler times.

I used to see these guys almost every weekend in SF went I was at Berkeley. Them and Silvertone (Chris Isaak's band). All those hip, tiny clubs. Good times.
