Sonia - You'll Never Stop Me Loving You

This song was from the era of Kylie Minogue's first song, and the song reflected the way most pop dance song were back then. Actually, according to Wiki, this song is probably the only one from Sonia that reached Billboard Chart. Sing the song here.

A-ha - Take On Me

Now this is a great song. A classic one by Norwegian group band, A-ha. The video is also awesome, since most of the video has rotosoping animation. I loved it when the first time this video aired in MTV. It was a great and rare kind of animation back then. Check out the lyric here.

Amy Grant - Every Heartbeat

"Every Heartbeat" is a 1991 single by Amy Grant. The song was released as the second single from the "Heart In Motion" album. Amy Grant's previous song was the number one hit, "Baby Baby." I like both songs, but I most prefer this song because of its upbeat. Check the song's lyric here.

Chesney Hawkes - The One And Only

Chesney Hawkes, another one hit wonder. A nobody who got famous because of one song, and disappear afterwards. The song was the soundtrack of "The Buddy's Song" and later the soundtrack of movie "Doc Hollywood" starring Michael J. Fox. Lyric can be read here.

Rod Stewart - Forever Young

One of my favorite male singer from the past, Rod Stewart. His voice was unique and some of his song has powerful lyrics. This "Forever Young" song was published in 1988. Check the song's lyric here.

Chynna Phillips - Naked And Sacred

Before singing the song "Naked And Sacred" which was the soundtrack of the movie "Striptease," Chynna Phillips was one of the member of female singers Wilson Phillips. This song was also featured in her solo album called "I Live For You" that was published in 1995. I still remembered the song's tune until now. It's quite a memorable song.



This is the live version on a German Late Night Show in December 1995. Check the song lyrics here.

Roxette - Fading Like A Flower

One of my favorite duo for a long time, Roxette, who has lot of music hits than I can't count for. These power rock duo from Sweden have lots of hits single. However, one of my favorite was "Fading Like A Flower," taken from "Joyride" album. Check also the lyrics at this link.

Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven

Maria McKee released her first solo, self-titled album in 1989. Her song "Show Me Heaven", which appeared on the soundtrack to the film, "Days of Thunder," was a number one single in the United Kingdom for four weeks in 1990. The song then was covered by other artists through the 90's and today. One of them is Tina Arena who sang it in 1995.



You can check the live version below, and sing with the lyrics here.



There is another live acoustic version of this song. Check the video below (though the quality is not good enough).

Sophia Latjuba Featuring Indra Lesmana - Tiada Kata

Sophia Latjuba came from Indonesia and was singing since 90's. The song "Tiada Kata" (No Other Words) was produced by her former husband, Indra Lesmana. You can check more info about her album here. A bit biography info of her can be read here. If you want to sing the song, just play the video. It comes with karaoke subtitle in it.

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of The Heart

I still love this song, even though it was played way back in 1983. Bonnie Tyler's voice was really great and suited with the song. Many singers have tried to cover this song, though I don't think they're really not as good as Bonnie's. It just seems something different with the way Bonnie's singing it. Hmm, I wonder where she is now?



Check also the live version, from 1984, and sing along here.

Nancy Wilson - All For Love

Nancy Wilson, one of the singer of Heart, went solo on 1989 with "All For Love" single. The song was a soundtrack for movie "Say Anything" featuring John Cusack. The song was very pop-like, not like other Heart's song that Nancy and her sister, Ann Wilson, usually sang. This is the lyric that I can find (though I don't think it's really complete).

Breathe - How Can I Fall?

The song "How Can I Fall?" was released in 1988 on album called "All That Jazz." This video was often played on my local television station back then. It was a wonderful and romantic song. Also, all women appeared in this video was really cute. Especially the one who got wet under the rain. You can sing along with this lyric.

The Immortals - Techno Syndrome

I actually don't really like techno music. However, since this song is played over and over again when I watched the not-too-sucks Mortal Kombat Movie 1 and 2, it began to sounds interesting. The theme song was mixed by The Immortals. This "Techno Syndrome" song was then included in "Mortal Kombat: The Album" released in 1994 to accompany the home versions of the video game Mortal Kombat. Anyway, I can't believe I found the lyric of this theme, since there are limited words and are repeated over and over.

Gorky Park - Bang

Gorky Park (international title) or "Парк Горького" (Russian title) was a Soviet (later Russian) glam metal band, that gained mainstream popularity in USA during the Perestroyka times. Gorky Park is famous for its kitsch use of western stereotypes of Russians, such as pseudo-traditional clothing, balalaika-like guitar design and Hammer and sickle as their logo. It was the first Russian band to be aired on MTV. Check also the song's lyric here.



Also check out their live performance, also with the same song.

Enigma - Return To Innocence

"Return to Innocence" is a 1994 song created by the musical group Enigma. The single was the first from their chart-topping second album, "The Cross of Changes." Just as the title said, the video itself was moving backwards, giving symbolic meaning of return to where it was supposed to be. It's really a nice ambient and new wave song. If you can't heard the vocals, you could check the song's lyric here.

Enya - Book of Days

You probably know Enya, the singer who recently fill most of the soundtracks of "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Back in 1992, she also has a soundtrack song made for the movie "Far and Away." The movie starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and it was really a good movie. The song "Book of Days" was later then compiled in Enya's album, "Shepherd Moons." Sing it by reading its lyric here.



And check also this video, that was taken before live audiences.

Kon Kan - Harry Houdini

Ever heard of Kon Kan? I'm sure you haven't. This duet produced new wave synthpop with great singles such as "I Beg Your Pardon" and "Harry Houdini." They was popular back then in 1989. I remembered seeing their video clips played often in local television station. I even still have their album, "Move to Move." The video was great though, lots of special effect that really inspiring back at the day. You can also check the lyrics here.

Skid Row - 18 And Life

Skid Row, a classic heavy metal band from the 80's was famous with this very slow rock song, "18 And Life" and "I Remember You." I remember this song very well during my high school year, since most of my friends played this song with guitar or on school's performance. Read the lyrics here.

Nelson - (Can't Live Without Your) Love And Affection

Matthew and Gunnar Nelson (twins) form this group band called Nelson, and have smashing hit single, "Love and Affection" on 1990. Looks funny now seeing this two guys with long blonde straight hair perform this song. They don't have their long hair today, though. You can sing by checking the lyrics here.

Carrie Underwood and Heart - Alone

Now this is a mix of classic and current artist. Heart sang again this beautifully classic song "Alone" from 1987, duet with American Idol winner Carrie Underwood. The performance was really really great. Heart's vocalist, Ann Wilson, still has the power to sang this great song. Check the lyrics here.

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of The Heart

A great song by lady Bonnie Tyler. The song was covered by other artists from time to time. However, I still prefer to hear Bonnie Tyler's version. It's got much more spirit in it. Check the video below. Or, you can also sing it by reading the lyrics here.

Bangles - Be With You

Bangles was a group of 4 women with leading hot singer, Susanna Hoffs. The group was famous back in the middle 80's. One of the group's hit that was covered by other artists again and again was "Eternal Flame." However, in the same album, there's also a full beat song that I still like to hear again and again. It's called "Be With You," sang by Bangles' drummer, Debbi Peterson. Check out the lyrics here.

First Post

Welcome to another one of my vast amount of blogs. This blog will focus on music video clips, especially the classic ones from the 80's and 90's.

I began to listen to old songs again, since a radio from my city airing classic pop and rock songs from the 80's. I knew that I had to start to look for the video clips in YouTube. What do you know? YouTube actually has the complete music video library I've ever seen.

Now in this blog, will embed those videos, especially ones that I'd enjoyed the most. Hah, it's good remembering the good old times.
