Seona Dancing/ˈʃɔːnə/ were a 1980s Britishnew wave group, best known for providing comedian Ricky Gervais with his first experiences as a public performer. Although the band was not successful, their single "More to Lose" went on to become a teen anthem in the Philippines.
History
In June 1982, in his final year as a student at University College London, Ricky Gervais and his friend Bill Macrae formed Seona Dancing, with Macrae writing the songs and playing keyboards and Gervais writing and singing the lyrics. After recording a sixteen-song demo tape, they were signed by London Records which released two of their singles: "More to Lose" and "Bitter Heart". In June 1983, the duo performed their single "More to Lose" on the ITV syndicated children's television show Razzamatazz. Yet, despite the promotion of "Bitter Heart" through its music video and "More to Lose" by its TV performance, both singles failed to break the Top 40, with "More to Lose" charting at number 117 and "Bitter Heart" at number 79 on the UK Singles Chart. After the lacklustre performance of their two singles, the band split up in 1984.

Seona Dancing - Bitter Heart HD Full Video
The full version of this video has never been released so I put this together using just clips that have been shown on TV. It all fit together quite well once the clips had been AI upscaled and Colour graded. I had a go at removing the watermarks but it was a bit of a hassle so some can still be seen in a few places. Maybe I'll upload an improved/ extended version at some point.

Ricky Gervais had some seriously sexy beginnings! Kelly Clarkson cannot get over how hot a young Ricky was as a rock star and then the two hilariously connect over their mutual love of pizza, beer and music!

Seona Dancing -- "Bitter Heart"
British New Wave from 1983. I'm not going to say who the lead singer is, but let's see if you guys can figure it out. It's not David Bowie.

We used to cry About the day when one of us might fall Weak and blindly into another's arms Demands are gained from jealousies Would flow like water drowning us But leaving us with just another Lover's false alarm And now it's over Both of us free But I feel colder A thousand tortured lives have fallen Wounded dying cut down by the Questions that we've sharpened Just to save our losing days We thought we'd nothing more to lose We'd tear our hearts with jagged truths And everything we'd hung to for so long Just slipped away And now it's over Both of us free And I feel colder I was tired of thinking that Our love can shine your thoughts Of our arrangements Were really not like mine I thought it over And it was plain to see the love you said You once needed Could just not come from me And now it's over Both of us free And I feel colder And now we're moving to new beginnings But as we move we looked once behind To see what we might find out Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings That lunge, tear and grasp
