The British post-punk band Modern English, best remembered for their iconic 1982 hit "I Melt with You," isn't exactly a newcomer to the music scene. Their distinctive blend of new wave experimentation and resonant lyrics made them a cornerstone of alternative rock during the 1980s. It's not every band that can say they hit it big with their second album, but Modern English did just that with "After the Snow."
Giving visual representation to their music, the music video for "I Melt with You" was as simple as it was impactful. The majority of the video shows the band members performing in a dimly lit setting, interspersed with fleeting images of melting ice cream, emphasizing the song's theme of transience and the inevitability of change. What's fascinating is the band also appeared on the popular American series "Stranger Things", bringing their hit ‘80s track "I Melt With You" back into the spotlight. Here’s an interesting tidbit: the notorious black and white concert footage is actually from a gig at Hurrah in New York City where the heat was so intense, the band members remember sweat literally pouring off their instruments. Talk about a warm reception! Overall, their knack for creating engrossing visual narratives to accompany their infectious tracks only reinforces their standing as seminal figures in the realm of music.
