  • UGHX!!! I sometimes I get so mad when listening to this song. I don't understand this band sometimes. This song would have been a huge hit in the US. AARRRGHHHHH!!!!!

  • I've never heard this spng, I love it. And I love Astronaut. It's in my car. I've never taken it out of my car in all the time I've had it.

  • Yes, this would be such a great song for the Olympics

  • What a beautiful song!Duran Duran has never failed to fascinate me!

  • I agree with this as the athem for the 2012 Olympics. If not the next World Cup of soccer.

  • Nice song. There is a small part of the chorus that reminds me of American science.

  • pro american shit. i mean the vidio not the song.

  • I like "Duran Duran", but as for video... - Filthy fags stole our rainbow...

  • @vereskification The filth is you.

  • This song is proof that the musical chemistry between the Duran boys was never gone, or for that matter, ever in doubt. This is top notch, and should have been the bar by which "Astronaut" should have sounded. You could include "Salt in The Rainbow, Virus, Lonely Business, and maybe to a lesser extent "Pretty Ones to that equation also. Still not complaining though, as the album "Beautiful Colours" came to light, with all the aforementioned gems on it. So its not all bad, at least its available.

  • This song is simply amazing. Simon and Nick are all over this song. I love it. It will always be in my top 5.

  • @brchris69 I totally agree, a top ten, if not five, of all time favorite D2 songs. Why they never released it is beyond me!

  • I love this song!!! Beautiful colours in the WORLD!!!! :-)

  • @hipsam33 waving from Australia :) cant wait for them to come here in march yyeeeepppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • love it

  • what a fucking great song

  • Yes... Duran Duran are definitely better than pretty much everyone who gets airplay.

  • Duran Duran are too damn good for the radio--it pisses me off that they do NOT get the airplay they deserve--you got other music played to death and really not that good---Duran Duran--MOST under rated---I loved them and always have! Plus they are hot too :) what more could ya ask for??? :)

  • this song is so great,i love it....!!!

  • OMG Simon's voice is soooooo gritty and sexy and funky on this track!!! Squeeeeee!!!!

  • Beautiful song....thoughtful lyrics, gorgeous melody!

  • it is...

  • Duran are as wonderful as ever & tossers like Gavin Martin who 'critiques' in the Ticket, media supplement to Friday's Daily Mirror is just one tosser (millions in the media) who refuse to note this & spend pages of bile cos they've nothing better to do. But so-called fans who left them in the 1985 split need to realise their quality never went down. In fact many of their best songs were usually made without 1 Taylor at least. Duran have nothing to prove-& most of us know how fantastic they are.

  • Man!! I love this song!!

  • this track should be the official anthem for the 'london 2012 olympics'

  • I am a big duran duran fan, but I have to say this song is not their best. It appears as something like "we are we world"...

  • Comment removed

  • I find it a little dull to be honest. "Salt In the Rainbow" however is pure gold !!!

  • OOOWEEE ... I'm bewitched ... haaa

    So glad, I found this "oldie" again ...

    Made my day ,-)

  • I hope this video gets a million views.

  • This song and video makes me cry. I LOVE IT!!!

  • I love the part with the USA flag backdrop and the US soldier and the Muslim woman both unconscious...perfect. Brilliant.

  • I have a theory: they didn't include this song on the Astronaut album either because 1) they thought it was too G-rated for what they wanted their image to be, or 2) the title may have too closely resembled U2's Beautiful Day and they didn't want to be labeled as copycats. Anyone else on board? There has to be a sound reason they wouldn't include this fantastic song on the album, other than the evasive "it's an unfinished demo"...hmm....

  • @chasemdown100 I have a snarky little theory, after I listened to unreleased tracks, that Nick (perhaps) was intent on strangling every ounce of edgy sound OUT of the released music. But it's just a theory. ;)~

  • yeah its crazy this song was not on Astronaut. I remember them playing this song LIVE on their small gig tour (before Astronaut was released) in fact, the bootleg was recorded in the Cleveland Agora Theater where I saw them play. I was really shocked when Astronaut was released a year later and this was not on it. sad really.

  • this was a beautiful song,with a wonderful message from a great group. make one really think.

  • This is the best video I have seen that is the best that goes with this song. I wish people would come together as one and relate to this song.

  • It baffles me that Duran Duran would not released this beautiful song. Just mind-boggling. This song would have translated into hundred of thousands of more sales of their album-possibly a million more sales.

  • Obviously, whoever decided not to include this song on the Astronaut Album was on drugs at that time. This song would have been a smach hit worldwide.

  • They really wasted this beautiful song on the FIFA 100. I'm making it my personal FIFA WORLD CUP ANTHEM of 2010 instead.

  • I just died and went to heaven

  • Everytime I see this video...I cry..... The best song ever!!!!

  • Gret\at viideo, by the way. Very creative!

  • @007AnAstronaut I agree with you! Duran2 is the most under-rated band on Earth!

  • first time I heard this song I was already singing and dancing to it. proud of being a Duran Duran fan since ever

  • hear hear 007AnAstronaut

  • OMG, where can I get this song?? AMAZING. TRUE, TRUE DURAN DURAN.

  • @rammi909 I have no clue but let us know if you find it! BEAUTIFUL!!

  • Can anyone tell me where to download this song? <3 duran duran

  • @crazybassj come and join us at duranduranboard(Dot)proboards(­Dot)com/

  • Bellísimos Duran Duran. Thanks for your songs. Great talent musical.

  • Hopefully they release on their 3rd singles box 97-04 or create a Duran Duran rare trax release of songs unreleased, demos, and music videos ( all of them ).

  • Why this wasn't on the album and released as a single is both DD's and Sony's shame.

    Beautiful song that needs to be heard.

  • @kevinsanity Nick claimed the song wasn't mixed already in the way he liked it.They played this song during the reunion tour in 2004,before Astronaut was actually released. MAX DURANFAN

  • I can remember them singing this on the re-union tour in 2004, it stood out as the best new song of the night, strange how it didnt get on Astronaut 'cos it's classic catchy Duran if u ask me. Love it.

  • excellent!

  • i need this song on my ipod..... need it!!!!!

    duran duran are "the best thing ever"

    LOVE EM x

  • ive never heard this song before,its so beautiful,im with everyone on this,where is it now?

  • just an idea....

    launch this single as the first single of your next album in which DD will again work on their own, and you will do very well

  • beautfiul colors nice song,i wonder why they didnt release it as a single.waiting for your next concert here in tokyo DD

  • why oh why was this NOT on astronaut

    ask simon on twitter

  • I sure hope Duran2 releases this song and "Salt In the Rainbow". These songs are so good and scream "HIT"; radio waves lack 'real' music like this!

  • Love this song. Great video as well. Should've released it.

  • Gotta comment on this song again, its abolutely wonderful. Still cant believe it didnt get on the album!!!

  • Because it too special.

  • Why the hell didnt they release this song? This is their best song since wedding album?

  • fandabadoozy

  • Best duran duran's song ever....

  • Beautiful Colours of beautiful song!!!

  • This is the best vid put to a Duran song ever, showed it to my friends who are not Duran fans and they loved it too! Well done!

  • This song is awesome. DD played it live during the 2003 visit to Australia. I cant understand why it wasnt on Astronaut. I would have been a better single than WHT. Cheers DV

  • I wonder that too, I like this song. I saw the concert too ( in Canada )Maybe because they feel it sounds a bit like the past ( liberty album )...??

  • love love love this one

    a must indeed!!

  • Who has this song on mp3?)

  • makes me feel good about myself this one, and the human race- which makes a change

  • Yeah this is a great one!

    JB

  • This song makes me happy . . . This vids awesome!

  • agree, why not on an album, let alone a single

  • It's one of the great mysteries of life, along with "Why is Paris Hilton famous?" and "What is Tila Tequila?"

  • Is the F word really necessary?

  • yes because its a crime its not released

  • Yes, it's a great song, but what an INCREDIBLE video interpretation! Thank You!

  • The best music clip

  • This is a lovely montage and it is my favourite unreleased DD song.

  • Thank you for this most beautiful video interpretation of Duran Duran's "Beautiful Colours". I can't imagine a better one. Great job!

  • pour 2009 que le monde comprenne que nous sommes tous égaux vive la différence

  • I'm deeply touched by the strength of this song, by the beautiful lyrics and by your original video interpretation.

    Does anyone know who the girl at 2:43 is?

  • Great song! A true gem that didn't even make the album "Astronaut". Duran Duran must release this song as a single! This song needs to be heard worldwide!

  • Lol

  • Great job on this video - you found good pix to illustrate the theme of diversity.

  • And what do you think they are?

  • The most beautiful music of DURAN DURAN 2004!! NUMBER ONE IN MY CHART FOREVER!

  • GREAT SONG ........ thanks DURANS.

  • I went to see Duran Duran to Birmigham 3 or 4 years ago, more or less. They played only 3 new songs (from Astronaut: Sunrise, What happens tomorrow and this one. I could have bet this as a single when I was there. But sadly when the Album was released was NOT EVEN INCLUDED. Unfortunaly this is the reason..the same for VIrus or Prettly ones.. I understand nothing... (no entiendo nada) jajaja

  • it wasnt an official choice or anything just a statement regarding their useless label or producer that would over look a gem like this for something such as bedroom toys

  • This song is fantastic, and great job on the video - I loved it!

  • I brought the Beautiful Colours demo album on Ebay after seeing this vid, it is far better than the Astronaut album (well worth the £20 I paid), this track is amazing, one of there best, what were they thinking when they droped it, Big mistake, it would have been a massive hit.

    Love this video too, great job.

  • I have a CD called Beautiful Colours(Asronaut Demo's/Unreleased/Alternates) which I got off the internet for about £10. Other brand new tracks on the CD are Salt in the Rainbow (x2), Pretty Ones, Virus, Lonely Business (x2), and TV vs Radio. There are also a number of alternative versions of songs on Astronaut.

  • OMFG!! BEST SONG EVER!!

  • "bedroom toys" - nice, but this is evidntly better. Where can i find it in mp3?

  • ...........I dont think DuranDuran themselves have made a better video in 20 years!

  • what album is this song on?

  • it should have been on astronaut but some lame person decided to put dribble like bedroom toys on it instead ... pity

  • It was never released on a US album just a compilation album called Beautiful Colors released in Japan that I managed to get as an import from Russia hehe

  • @bewitched422 There are actually 2 versions of the Beautiful Colours bootleg plus other Astronaut demo bootlegs. Astro Or Not, In Deep Space, Oh My God What's This....The Demos par5ts 1 and 2. :)

  • @bewitched422 Which version did you get? There are 2.

  • @bewitched422  .... HA! Silly boys! Thank God for eBay!!!!

  • Durancrazy, this song affected me a lot too, and this video.

    How beautiful.

    Another reason why I love Duran Duran forever and the people who love them.

  • What a beautiful song. I wish everyone would just get along and there would be peace on earth.

  • Incredible song!!!Saw them in Albany,NY,on `06...And hope catch`em in Europe soon!

  • Im actually seeing them on May 6th and looking forward to it. They sometimes surprise us, the fans in concert by doing some outtakes which i hope is the case here.

  • Awesome song, don't understand why Duran Duran always leaves great songs like this off their albums. Also if you're true fans like myself, you should check out the songs" Salt In The Rainbow" and " Virus" you won't regret it. These songs are outtakes from the Astronaut album. According the Somin these songs weren't good enough to be put on the album, but in mny eyes are some of the best songs i've heard from this band. Email me back with your thoughts.

  • This is one of their best songs ever. Forget the fact that this song is better than anything on Astronaut and Red Carpet Massacre. This song is a song you should be hearing on radio stations around the world. Duran Duran makes such poor decisions.

  • rcm aint that bad

  • I agree....I wonder how would sound their recorded but not realesed album "Reportage"..I hope we could hear it soon..

  • I've heard that Warren played a part in this song, and they thought it didn't seem right that they put it on the Album. If they have hidden jems like this, imagine what the 2007 scrapped album "Reportage" must be like.  Hope they release it.

  • I love duran duran

  • Oh my god i'm a hard core DD fan and ive never heard this song. Im in love its fantastic. Anyone know where i can get it? PPPPPPPllllllease.

  • This song was given to and shown for the FIFA centinial 2003. Duran Duran has some great B-sides, sometimes better than the ones they put on an album (Instant Karma (2006), Virus (2005) Beautiful Colours (2004), Needle and the Damage Done (1997), Fallen Angel (1991) Getting Better (1990), Sinner or Saint (1997), We Need you (1986)Secret oktober (1984). Check them out, you may be pleasantly surprised.

  • Their are many others...Faster than light (1981), Late Bar (1981, great song!), Fame (around 81 or 82, David Bowie cover), Make me smile (1983, Cockney Rebel cover).

  • I was in awe of the emotive images ... great images, great song.

  • This is criminal, this song NEEDS to be given a proper release.

    I really hope someone connected to the band reads this. How is it possible that songs like this one and "Salt in the Rainbow"

    are overlooked? At the very least they should put all these great songs together and put it out just for the oldschool fans...

  • NIghtversion thank you so very much for you kind post I don't check my comments very often but this song and the mesage was a strong one for me to convey and thank you. Loving RCM but missing Andy too. Thank you for your time for postingand for wacthing.

  • i do not understand how duran duran can let brilliant songs like this one go unreleased in favor of a dull ballad like 'falling down'. simply shameful.

  • this one...icy cold river...sekret october and the list goes on...had never been properly realeased. I hope we could hear sooner than later some of the Reportage album with a come back of Andy Taylor on the guitar

  • I never usually write on these things, but i have been truely affected by this video. Awesome work!!! Beautiful song, Beautiful slideshow.

    and in reply to braapnav, it is not on any album. it was never released as a single sadly :-(

  • does anybody know which album this is from??????

  • it has not been released in any album or single. just other DD rare song

  • well, i think i prefer this than 'falling down'. if andy didnt left, there could be reportage album and maybe it could sell millions

  • many feel the same!! Niko from baires

  • nice

  • never heard of it but it's awesome...i'm a huge duran duran fan. i went to Red Carpet Massacre tour. when we got to new york they cancelled because of protesters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!i'm so damn pissed off!!!!!!

  • Wonderful!

  • how can i have this song, it such a s great like the video

    please share it with me i want it on my i pod

  • it is awesome to see how differently ppl interpret a song. very nice job!!!

  • How much in dollars is that?

  • OMG you made me cry with this vid. What can I say it is just perfect. You got the lyrics perfectly.

    Congrats

  • Awesome music!

  • AMAZING SONG WITH NICE LYRICS ONE OF MY DD FAVOURITES. Why they don't put this as a b side in a next single?

  • a well done music video

  • Awesome video for a great song

  • Comment removed

  • This is a pretty good song up until the 0:47 mark, when they start the Beautiful colours chorus. A bit to sappy. It builds up perfectly up to that point and then kinda lets you down with the chorus. I think I can see why the guys decided to leave this off the album.

  • If they were able to rework 0:48-1:30, then this could have been an excellent single.

  • Thanks for info. I have found it and will order a copy (I like to have the originals).

  • Why this song or Icy Cold River or Salt in the Rainbow aren`t in an album and I gonna to accept songs like Night runner -a very interesting song for Timbaland not for DD- in the RCM one??

  • Great song. I cant believe its not been released! Must be some kind of legal thing involving Andy Taylor.

  • excelente, lo mejor....como siempre .

  • I saw this performed on tour!! Absolutely Amazing... Gutt'd can't buy It..Sort It Out Duran.....

    Yeah agree that they didn't need the Trousersnake & Timbaland ensemble to keep us REAL Fans intrested......Falling Down Amazing..Night Runner I cud live without!!!

  • Yeah, Night Runner was absolutely out of line. Useless.

  • What was this released on? As far as I remember it was something they were going to use for the last album and then the Reportage album that never made it when Taylor left.

  • Great track! Just listened to "Salt In The Rainbow" also and that one is great too- very emotional song. It would have been great if these tracks were released on the "Astronaut" cd??? I don't understand how these tracks were left off!! These are too good!

  • Baffling that this wasn't released on the album... or a single! Beats the Timbaland crap that they have done. I can see why Andy left.

  • They really seem to produce some effortlessly great and near-forgotten tracks with every album. (Strange combination but it'll probably happen again!)

  • So well said, and I've been thinking the same thing for years! weird, huh?

    at least they don't go unnoticed by us hardcore fans

  • Beautiful song.. I too am baffled as to why it didn't make the final cut. There are plenty of worse songs on the album than this!

  • To everyone who wants to confess love and the world is change!

  • This songs is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Just listen to the words and I hope this world becomes a BETTER PLACE TO BE IN!!!!

  • awesome video,duran duran is the best.i have been listening them 23 years.go durans go

  • Why this missed the cut on the Astronaut album just baffles me! Duran Duran time & album releases=hand in glove! I just wish I had seen it performed live on the tour along with all the other fans.

  • Wow, almost brings a tear to the eye

  • Duran Duran should get with you and release this video officially...it's that good!

  • Thanks for the tears. You are a true artist. P.S. I love Duran Duran.

  • perdoname porque no puedo escribir bien en espanol, pero esta disponible en una tienda en ebay que se llama Strange Behavior. Yo compre uno tambien!
