The Pet Shop Boys are the soundtrack of my youth. This song in particular is somehow the quintessence of a good pop tune. It´s mellow and so optimistic at the same time
Neil Tennant es tan grande que debe ser el único cantante del mundo que con el paso de los años pide que le suban de nota la canción, mientras la gran mayoría pide q bajen los tonos...
It's SO poignant when Neil says "Faces were disappearing by my 1990's".. (That's when MY fave vocalist ever, Freddie Mercury, was lost to this terrible disease, AIDs, Neil is singing of). Back then , my gay friends, reasoned, "We can't get pregnant!"-- so, why use "protection"... now, we all know why- - and, alas, we ALL have to be " Boring," gay ( a friend), straight (me), or, "bi" -- whatever. Be monogomous,etc. But, boring can be good-- if , as Queen sang U "Keep Yourself Alive".
Excelente presentacion de Being Boring, la voz de Neil (asi se llama?) siempre afeminada pero igualmente fantastica, mi duo gay preferido, aunque esten algo cuchitos que sigan haciendo su musica espectacular.
@nervusboy how do you know they dont have, as you put it in all caps...JESUS?!?! they dont talk religion. been a huge fan of theirs for years and they dont speak of it. stop judging. this song is beautiful and you ruin it with your bible crap.
@oxxNEOxxo And???? im not gay but the psb are fucking brilliant,u need to get a life m8...go out & buy the Ultimate Pet Shop Boys cd...listen to it & come back here & leave a better comment ;)
I love pet shop boys and this is such a sincere song I don't mind admitting when I saw them at Manchester last year and they did being boring tears came to my eyes. A very touching song. Cheers for uploading
@mdmann Yes, but this live appearance on JH were at the time of Release - this was to promote that album (as did the subsequent tour with the same musicians).
Posiblemente, la mejor versión electrónica de "En busca del tiempo perdido" de Proust. Una mezcla de nostalgia, recuerdos, horizontes vividos y soledad presente. "Being boring": el tedio de la vida junto a la sonrisa melancólica de lo que una vez tuvimos y ya nunca volveremos a ver.
Gracias, Pet Shop Boys, por esas letras tan maravillosas...

i have all of there cd's all the way up to very and then they did something to the music they write and so far i haven't bought a new cd since but i do like the new song minimal. they just have to get some air time. Can't do it since mtv plays more shows then music these days. which is sad
I don't like the music PSB produce today. However, I was a die hard fan of their until the Very album. Like everyone has said, not only are they a dynamic electronic duo but their lyrics hold so much substance. Till this day, I wonder what their lyrics are about... it can be interperted in so many ways.
They deserve so much more recognition.
Being a progressive house/trance DJ I've seen how their hard work has influenced so much of todays dance music. They are simply brilliant.
They have gone off track from simple synth pop music too more deep, mystical middle of the road stuff. I haven't bought their last 2 albums as I wasn't impressed.
How many songs are there that are both sad, yet beautiful, and even further filled with stongy and meaningful lyrics? This is what real artistry is all about. Shame on all the ass wipes delivering music since the late 1990's...it's an embarrassment...a sex parade...britney...pathetic...etc.
it is said that Neil wrote this song in response to the number of friends that were lost in the AIDS pandemic of the 1980's. For those of us that lived through that era, this song has deep meaning.
Every time I hear this song I think to myself that if Noel Coward was around today he might have written it. The lyrics have that sort of feel to them.
great song but heart, miracles, oppurtunities and home & dry are definatley there best songs...i think neil has aged very gracefully...he's not one of those famous musicians who dont understand that they've aged like mick jagger or something...even though mick's alot older
you think that heart etc are there best songs. This obviously varies per person. and who cares what they look like it's their music that matters to me
Shorn of the dreary Weber video, or the high camp stage shpws, the song is revealed as a sharp timeless piece of work. Jools Holland's show always sorts the wheat from the chaff,you have to be genuinely good to go on it or you will be exposed forever.
This is so incredibly beautiful and spine tingling. I find that when I tire of hearing the recorded version a bit from repeatedly listening, I still love this one.
the best!!!!
