It's a shame to be bickering when discussing this song. Bottom line its one of the best songs of the 1980's, was huge in the dance clubs at that time.... and to this day Richard Butler and the Furs NEVER disappoint! Amazing band and music!!!
I really love this song, and video a lot. My only complaint is that the lead singer seems to be doing his David Bowie impression throughout the entire video.
My lovely wife of 21 years just bought me tickets to the show at the Pageant in St. Louis on Sept 23rd, 2011. I have no idea what to expect. Has anyone seen them on this tour?
I am responding to the amount of hate that is posted on these comments pages. I see a lot of Faggots as a term being used. What are you all doing watching them? If you're homophobic for some deep psychological reason, or on crack or just a useless member of society, and I see plenty of them. Hatred starts from within. There is a real good chance that everyone that uses the term faggots is dealing with their homoerotic desires.
Homophobic idiots label anything British as gay. These bands had more girls than they could handle. It was the 80's, when people were not as anal as they are today. The music was great and it's validated by young kids today who love music from that era.
@MrOhjok I couldnt agree with you more.Brits set the trend in the new wave 80's era.These were real artists,and great musical poets.Maybe ppl who hate this music are more fond of bobbing their heads up and down to the sound of bongo drums.To each their own i guess.
@MrOhjok You got that right. We don't have much music right now...just a bunch of noise. Most of the *kids* at work have iPods and cell phones loaded with 80's music.
@cacoca79 That's a question you'd have to ask yourself. Incest/Polygamy are lifestyles of sexual expression. Homophobic is a fear of being identified with the feminine, or gay. Which is what I implied. Your question is not in line with the intent of my statement, which several others here understand quite well. I think you need to re-think what your intent is and be more specific.
@MrOhjok ahhh so if one disagrees with with homosexuality what does that make them? The leftist psychopaths identify that as homophobic. Is homosexuality sexual exspression? Alot of the british trends from the 80s were men acting and dressing feminine, hence the name gay(but so were alot of the american acts, who started it 1st? IDK. So playing dumb doesnt doesnt hold any water. You know what they meant if the group you are refering to was actually labeling british trends.
@007cascader Oh, shit. I'm sorry man I took that in the completely wrong direction. I guess being a weed smoker has it's disadvantages. I apologize to you and all the people here I've offended.
@007cascader Watch what you say about the people who listen to these songs. I'm a 20 year old pothead and even I know you can learn a lot from people who are older. Besides, didn't your parents ever teach you to respect your elders? I'd love to beat you halfway to death then get high to all the 80's songs on youtube.
I was lucky to see this band on the Forever Now tour at C.W. Post college on a snowy, cold night. Not much of a crowd but the Furs played it like it was a full house in madison square gardens. They were so into it, the sky seemed the limit for this band. A few lineup changes and ten years later I saw them and it was such a downer. They all just stood there, so not into it, and Richard Butler seemed visibly bored.
@mistomen Saw them at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Billy Bragg was first up and the crowd here just didn't get it...Butler was always so flamboyant.
You can really pick up the Todd Rundgren influence that made this song a classic. The catchy little piano line. The double drums at the ending...Classic Todd!
@bluexterra I'm assuming you weren't alive in the 80's. To say that "this is probably the coolest song of the 80s" is just completely wrong. I'm also assuming you haven't heard much of 80's music. I'm not taking anything away from the Psychedelic Furs at all, I love them and this song is god-awesome, but you are underestimating the large quantity of very very good music the 80s produced. You will find that it's impossible to say one single song "is the the coolest of the 80s."
@Suburbannite Easy there. I have tons and tons of music from the 80's and I was actually a DJ at a college radio station at the time, so I would guess my exposure to all the music during that timeframe dwarfs yours. I was hearing everything, including obscure things that you probably don't even know about. When I say the coolest I'm not saying the best, just IMHO it was laid back, hip and the music was intricate - therefore I think it is the coolest. Don't be so critical.
Yeah its kinda strange time flys, my friends and I were into sabbath and metal but when mtv came along songs that we might have not even listen to caught our ears and now this is our history
@tlg1100 i'm with you there. i was a freshman when this came out, digging maiden, and loving this track. loved everything from pink floyd to chuck berry and hendrix to slayer. as long as the tunes were cool, i was happy. always loved this track.
Another amazing Todd Rundgren production, that's him on the marimbas! This song was one of the best of the 80's. I have this album on cassette tape and cd!
The 80s are not the best i honestly think it is the worst aside from a few bands like Squeeze. The Pixies, this band, Dinosaur Jr. and so on.The 60s are the best then early 70s are great. There are still bands today that are great. Like the Silversun Pickups.
@DamonAlbarnFan The music of the 60s was great. The 70's completely sucked (except for rock). There was a revolt against against the 70's all over the world. In So. Cal. it was called "the new music revolution". You can hear it also in the Jam's rejection of the punk ethos. In the early 80's we didn't want anything to do with the 70's music, attitude, conventions, or style. That's why they called us "Generation X". They couldn't figure us out.
@seehound619, Well The Who were a good band too, j/k, The Replacements, they were a very critically acclaimed alternative rock band from the 80s, the were signed to a major label (Sire/Warner Bros)but couldn't generate much hits because the initial shunned MTV and were notorious for their drunk and sloppy concerts. Song wise, I would say "I Will Dare" was their most famous but their biggest hit would be "I'II Be You."
@seehound619 Christ, I don't even watch the shows, but I do watch the opening credits because the they open with The WHO's "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O Riley"(The "teenage wasteland" song.)
@JakTiamat Yeah, rap is in the word "cRAP"... I tell my buddies who love rap that, they get so annoyed, but they have a sense of humour about it because they know how many people agree hahahahaha... most the guys I know who like it have bad egos, they think this stuff is weird, but deep down they know it was real music because they know rap originated in the 80s
@weirdscience85 I love underground hip hop/rap and I also love depeche mode and a couple songs from The Psychedelic Furs . You're right though, rappers and rap fans we have shitty egos . I admit that. And lots of rap IS flat out BAD but I'd say the same thing about Country.
@Godsownaddict Oh yeah they had a lot of good songs on that soundtrack, aswell as that GTA Vice City from 2002... I have lots of friends born in '82, that was the first year of Generation Y, the Generation before that (1964-1981) was the MTV Generation and "early Gen Y's"(born in the 80s) got to enjoy all the last of the same stuff the MTV Generation got to enjoy, which was the 80s/90s.. everything sucks today tho my god the shit kids grow up with, thank god for youtube, Im on here more than TV
@kmj36 I was extremeley lucky to go see them. I have to say, their concert was FANTASTIC. They played this song, Heaven, Pretty in Pink, and a lot more of my favourites. This band will always be one on the top of my list.
i removed my comments of 8 months ago but life is too short and i don't fuckin' care how sick my friendsare of hearing about this. My dear Sue,if you come across this,open your heart and mind.Remember how close we were.i will alway's love you.God bless you and Bella alway's.
What a time you could play in your yard ride your bike anywhere not worry about getting shot in school everyone tried to outdress each other not this crap today kids wearing there pants backwards cracks and boxers showing
i miss good ol Chess King Im glad my kids love 80s music
after the success of the movie 'pretty in pink', using the furs' song of the same name as it's theme song, the furs became more commercial. it was the wrong move to make as they didnt last much longer after that. this song, however, was from the time before all of that.
@rick44145 , no s#!t Rico. Korn remade this song. I'm a headbanger and was pissed. This song is my guilty pleasure. Noone believes that this is one of my alltime fave songs. This and Roxy Music Avalon, Slave to Love....call me a freak.
@rick44145 people look at me with strangeness because firs of all im mexican and second im 22, i dont know why but i love 80's ,simple and clean music with good taste....but yeah years go by!
Music for watching attractive girls walking the busy boulevards of the world or sipping coffee at sidewalk cafes. Incredible song. Beyond incredible band.
@thunderlipssss i know wat u mean im 14 nd i feel like i was supposed 2 be a teen in the 80s life was so much easier nd the show freaks nd geeks shows it tooo
@MrJimmypage32 There's nothing more annoying to me than people bitching about today's music...This is a dope song....why can't you just leave it at that?
@MrJimmypage32 good luck faggot. Fucking hipsters. Hipster genocide best day of my life . Also enjoy reaganomics bitch .... There was no jobs then either
@n2motocross The film and music sections of your bio suggest that you are all action, no reflection (Hendrix and Vaughan excepted). There is beauty to "Love My Way" that lies far beyond the "kickass bass". Your artistic tastes are shared by the masses so why bother voicing (or listing) them. You are not of the 80's nor any decade previous. You have nothing to say about the human condition. Richard Butler does. Stick to gliding on life's surfaces, preferably in silence. It suits you.
@n2motocross Yes, Mr. Eggnog. You seem to have a penchant for exactitude, the particulars disconnected from the whole. It's not the song that's relevant, it's the bass guitar, or the singer/ songwriter hasn't contributed to making this one of the best pop music tracks ever, he just sucks. Abandon your curiosity about the "human condition." The world (and living) have kept it a secret from you thus far and you seem to be doing just fine.Now get back to your cocktail and Dido's Greatest Hits.
@n2motocross You have the full weight of our shared society's expanding stupidity and political correctness on your side and for that it is I who owe YOU an apology because YOU are a cloying cretin. My apologies. In return, you and your ilk can assuage my misery by according GREAT SONGS the respect that they deserve, meaning refraining from making any comment at all. On the positive side,your ability to give or withhold "flying fucks" IS a unique talent. I acknowledge it and respect it.
@hugosalarm my aren't you just a ray of sunshine, bet you are great at parties, did you just obtain a new thesaurus? It appears that you got what you were looking for, Troll. The asshole that you must obviously be, you come across like you are in bad need of an enema, really now, run along and flush out, see, you must feel better already. Just had to comment. I KNOW you will be watching this thread to see how much more crap you can stir up, cannot wait for your EDUCATED response...
@TheRealViktor68 Until a few minutes ago I thought there was no one more boorish than insurance salesmen but I was wrong. That distinction clearly belongs to proctologists with rote rage. I'm often the last to leave parties, even my own, and usually with vaguely melancholy feelings. Lucky you. Boorishness barely registers as an affliction compared to the socially maladjusted state many of us have to endure. A little compassion shown by positive people like yourself would be much appreciated.
@Aeternuss he's trying to convince a girl/woman who's very cynical about love to give him a try, saying that it's better you venture the risk of a new relationship than sit on the sidelines... of course there was supposed to be some kind of a swipe at other bands from the early 80s who bought into the new romantic fad, but i've only read about that

@JakTiamat Yeah, rap is in the word "cRAP"... I tell my buddies who love rap that, they get so annoyed, but they have a sense of humour about it because they know how many people agree hahahahaha... most the guys I know who like it have bad egos, they think this stuff is weird, but deep down they know it was real music because they know rap originated in the 80s
weirdscience85 5 months ago
@weirdscience85 I love underground hip hop/rap and I also love depeche mode and a couple songs from The Psychedelic Furs . You're right though, rappers and rap fans we have shitty egos . I admit that. And lots of rap IS flat out BAD but I'd say the same thing about Country.

Godsownaddict 5 months ago
@Godsownaddict Oh yeah they had a lot of good songs on that soundtrack, aswell as that GTA Vice City from 2002... I have lots of friends born in '82, that was the first year of Generation Y, the Generation before that (1964-1981) was the MTV Generation and "early Gen Y's"(born in the 80s) got to enjoy all the last of the same stuff the MTV Generation got to enjoy, which was the 80s/90s.. everything sucks today tho my god the shit kids grow up with, thank god for youtube, Im on here more than TV

lithonin 5 months ago
after the success of the movie 'pretty in pink', using the furs' song of the same name as it's theme song, the furs became more commercial. it was the wrong move to make as they didnt last much longer after that. this song, however, was from the time before all of that.

n2motocross 6 months ago
@n2motocross The film and music sections of your bio suggest that you are all action, no reflection (Hendrix and Vaughan excepted). There is beauty to "Love My Way" that lies far beyond the "kickass bass". Your artistic tastes are shared by the masses so why bother voicing (or listing) them. You are not of the 80's nor any decade previous. You have nothing to say about the human condition. Richard Butler does. Stick to gliding on life's surfaces, preferably in silence. It suits you.
hugosalarm 6 months ago
@hugosalarm Ok Mr. Philanthropist. Just what exactly is the 'human condition?' Educate me.
n2motocross 6 months ago
@n2motocross Yes, Mr. Eggnog. You seem to have a penchant for exactitude, the particulars disconnected from the whole. It's not the song that's relevant, it's the bass guitar, or the singer/ songwriter hasn't contributed to making this one of the best pop music tracks ever, he just sucks. Abandon your curiosity about the "human condition." The world (and living) have kept it a secret from you thus far and you seem to be doing just fine.Now get back to your cocktail and Dido's Greatest Hits.

..all that minutia just because a random poster, like myself, said, " The Bass kicks ass"??
Your extremely over-analytical. People like you are miserable.
But more importantly, I don't give a flying fuck what you think to be perfectly honest.
n2motocross 6 months ago
@n2motocross You have the full weight of our shared society's expanding stupidity and political correctness on your side and for that it is I who owe YOU an apology because YOU are a cloying cretin. My apologies. In return, you and your ilk can assuage my misery by according GREAT SONGS the respect that they deserve, meaning refraining from making any comment at all. On the positive side,your ability to give or withhold "flying fucks" IS a unique talent. I acknowledge it and respect it.

TheRealViktor68 5 months ago
@TheRealViktor68 Until a few minutes ago I thought there was no one more boorish than insurance salesmen but I was wrong. That distinction clearly belongs to proctologists with rote rage. I'm often the last to leave parties, even my own, and usually with vaguely melancholy feelings. Lucky you. Boorishness barely registers as an affliction compared to the socially maladjusted state many of us have to endure. A little compassion shown by positive people like yourself would be much appreciated.

@Aeternuss he's trying to convince a girl/woman who's very cynical about love to give him a try, saying that it's better you venture the risk of a new relationship than sit on the sidelines... of course there was supposed to be some kind of a swipe at other bands from the early 80s who bought into the new romantic fad, but i've only read about that
