"Empty Spaces" is a song by English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released as the third single from their 1989 album Heart Like a Sky.
It was poorly received and became their third consecutive single that failed to make the top 40 in the UK.
In October 1987 Spandau Ballet lead guitarist and songwriter Gary Kemp serendipitously reconnected with actress Sadie Frost, who had appeared in the band's videos for "Gold" and "Fight for Ourselves".
The newfound freedom he felt as a result of the relationship recharged his desire to write again, which lead to several songs for their 1989 album Heart Like a Sky, including "Empty Spaces".
