Saga - Wind Him Up (RESTORED)

Video Overview & Insights

The second single from their fourth album, "Worlds Apart", produced by Rupert Hine. The song is written by Ian Crichton, Jim Crichton, Jim Gilmour, Steve Negus, and Michael Sadler.

Choppped out some of the solo :((

The video was produced to the single edit of the song, at 3:38 as opposed to the album version's 5:47.

There have been admirable fan efforts to produce a video that uses the full length album track by adding in stills and concert footage, but I chose to stick with the single version to keep the plot and feel of the video fully intact.

As a kid watching this video, I thought "Hey, at least the cute girl still wants him!

— @curbowman

Cropped out the gaudy 80's titling and ran the video through several steps in the restoration: Upscaling, deblocking (removing compression artifacts), denoising, exposure adjust, sharpening and re-adding a touch of film grain lost in the deblocking and denoising steps.

Hope you enjoy!!

Like most people, My introduction to Saga was the MTV video for "On the Loose" which had heavy rotation. I discovered this song and became a huge fan! Canada produces some great bands, Rushm Saga, Men Without Hats....etc. I like just about everything that this band produces, after restarting collecting LPs, I bought "Worlds Apart" (this song is on that ablum as well as On The Loose}, and then bought thei denut album and then some later ones. What a great talent this band collectively has!

I like how you put the meta data over it like it's aired on MTV

Know and love the song but never saw this video. That guitar picking in the middle is classic and still reverberates in me from 40 years ago. From my cassette player in my Datsun and most people didn't know who it was, nor how badass my Datsun was in the curves.

I have this cassette tape.. .100's of... tapes....

Wow, I don't think I've heard this in over 43 or 44 years, and suddenly out of nowhere I heard it while driving in my car in Colombia, on a radio station playing 80s tunes. The first time I heard this I was in the SF bay area, 1981 or '82, high school freshman, what a trip, and what a great song!
