PET SHOP BOYS - London

[gravelandgrain100]

London..nice place to visit but you would NOT want to live there. Very depressing, dirty, and cramped. Go Vienna, Geneva, or Stockholm for good Euro living. And I am a German speaking to you/

[Sicknose]

beautiful song

07972535482 - A phone number to prank, this guy tried to scam my money, idiot left his personal phone number, have fun.

[Shyyrn]

I love this song! It's obviously not the Pet Shop Boy's primary style, but it's still amazing with its acoustic guitar and keyboards. It also has an interesting use of autotune. :P

And although I don't usually pay attention to the lyrics, these ones just grabbed my attention. They tell an interesting story, and it's just so poignant when Mr. Tennant sings "I want to live before I die."

Well done to Mr. Tennant and Mr. Lowe, and may they create and perform great music for many years more!

[seanr456]

@Shyyrn I agree completely. One reason I have been a fan from the very beginning is because of their sharp, intelligent and oftentimes moving lyrics. They're not afraid to depart from the conventional pop song cheeriness and touch upon the melancholy side of life in an honest fashion. Not to discount btw their fantastic melodies and rich production values. Whew! I should shut up now. I'm gushing. ;)

[3cs101]

london through and through well dun dudes!

[BreezesofConey]

I love London but coming of age in London in the late 60's seemed to me like the last stop, like nothing could ever top it. Then I moved to NYC in 1973, I live in Brooklyn now but my heart still has a home back in the UK. Getting a bit homesick just now, perhaps it;s time for a visit.

[PandaOngiElMejor]

FUCK USA!!!! LONG LIVE TO LONDON!!!!!!!!!!

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

@PandaOngiElMejor you mean Londonistan

[BreezesofConey]

@PandaOngiElMejor Wow, who said anything about the United States????? That's a bit off key, don't you think?? I am English-born but feel there are many great things about the US so don't be a hater . Not only that, there's a bit of ignorance in your statement. London is merely one city in an entire country. How can you compared a whole nation (the US) to one bloody city? Wondering if ur one of those American teens who listens to Brit rock and wears Union Jack tee shirts from Hot Topic.

[FriendLondonFriend]

@PandaOngiElMejor

Dear Jorge Luis,

USA is a friend of London; a former colony; try to like both places !

cheers.

del-boy.

[fabiophy]

I miss so much London!!! I would love one day to live there!!!

London forever in my Heart!!!

[thatboytom1]

@fabiophy we have enough foriegners thank you

[fabiophy]

@thatboytom1 What kind of foreigner did you mean? Immigration is a world problem, is not only in England that there is! I already was in London, and I know that is not easy to live in England, especially London, but all this time I was there, I always met wonderful people, British and foreign, all very educated and not ironic like you. Thank You Very Much

[animalpolice]

Last week I was for the first time in London. And now I want to move to London.

[TheMcMichael15]

Nexxxtttt Weeeek in London SOO Exsited

[Sarry52]

I Love London, me encantaria visitarlo algun dia :D.

[patje990]

as you see london as a tourist it's beatifull but when you look in the real life: I'ts Shit

i've lived 3 years in England and i have seen the real life

[oOMarsmannOo]

@patje990 I agree with your first paragraph

[nymike06]

@patje990 i've heard the same thing from many others.

[danaofcamden]

london...my love my life my blood

[gravelandgrain100]

Wow-I couldn't fathom what I would do if I saw Neil and Chris playing in tunnel like that. I would probably wet myself! I have been a HUGE fan of theirs since the 80's-they are lie that energizer bunny--keep going and going and going.

Great music NEVER goes out of style...ever.

[irkibby]

On the coach down to London, this song gets stuck in my head.  To stand by the houses of parliament and look out across the skyline of London fills me with emotion. What a great city, in a great country!

[super8tribe]

look at 'architechtronic' for a great London

[girsilva2]

london, london

[W00lyBully]

they make london look so shit....

[nastyasav]

OH, I cried when I saw this video, I've been living in NY for almost 8 years now and yes, like London, it's a big, brutal place, with dirty streets and subways, high unemployement rate and everything so expensive, but with all that said, I would NEVER LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE- and I wish I could visit London too, someday, and this song and video are just awesome!!!

[thisislondon9999]

so so sad ............

[tacosychelas]

I live in London, and its pretty normal. Though the music and financial scene are pretty good. apart from that its sort of shitty like any other place. "Tell it like it is"

[tiagokwanted]

London i miss u soo much :( i live in Barcelona but im from LONDON :(((((((

[Maritaliendo]

i was in london, was nice...

[CANARIAS1979]

I love London till the day I die, lived there with my wife and my daughter when she was only 4 month, we left Tenerife to start a new life in London, but London is a tuff and expensive city, and nursery are for millionaires, thats why we came back to Tenerife, but if not I´ll still be living in London. Love it.

[jupiterscastle]

thats it i'm moving to London

[LaughingAtThePeople]

@jupiterscastle Yeah you do that, then you can realise that if you live there you're likely to get mugged, stabbed, beat up for your money, your house burned down, or something like that. Good Luck!

[FriendLondonFriend]

@jupiterscastle

Where are you now? Jupiter FL. ?

Stay where you are, you won't survive here, there is no sunshine.

.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy

cold london.

[miertje95]

@jupiterscastle are you in london now ?

[Seonal]

wow this video makes me think of the four years i lived in England, and all the many trips I took to London, wow feeling a bit sentimental at the moment

[Wiser72]

I've been to England four times and although I like London, it is a bit of a tourist trap. My favourite city in the UK is Liverpool. It may not have the money or all the attractions of London but it is a very friendly and genuine place. Of course, I'm an Evertonian so I'm a bit biased. EFC!

[beavertown2006]

I love Liverpool too. I can stand by the dock for hours with the person I love. You are not biased. London is also great. I like the silent parts of London. I miss the UK.

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

the best gay band ever! what a legend

it's also the only gay band i know besides michael jackson

[bugmusk6]

you never heard of Queen?

[Wiser72]

The song is about 2 Russian soldiers who deserted the army and hid in London. They couldn't find honest work and had to turn to commiting crimes to survive.

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

Slava Russi 14/88

[q2q256]

[nando3e76]

[sexshopboy]

[Richy2177]

Extraño mucho Londres..... quiero volver... tiene 2 años que fui y quiero vivir de nuevo esa experiencia de conocer una gran ciudad

great song. A little sad. Love the Pet Shop Boys. Way to Go!

[avvertitemiiii]

[Nereofrariz21]

MAGNIFICO!

[euesperides]

"My father fought in Afghanistan

his widow's pension ain't worth a damn'

my mother works and goes home to cry

I want to live before I die"

This really is the intense centre of this song and it's so lovely. It's so poignant and so precise, yet lyrical. These lines are so emotional; neil, chris - very very well done!

[CamdenBloke]

The most amazing protrayal of the London that I love that I have ever seen.

[oktekk23]

did i say uk is shite? no. and uk has no future since the most favorite name for newborn kids here is muhammed. fact. good luck england!!!

[madeinbritain09]

Bollocks, what has your country ever done in history you cunt GREAT BRITAIN

[oktekk23]

England the best Country :)

PS: FUCK GERMANY i´m live here -.-

[trevle]

Chispas!!! que buen video, que buena cancion .... PSB es lo maximo.!!! bravo!!!

[Picuj]

one good song from the unsuccesful release album very underrated.

[tomialpha]

This is their real sound!

With guitars much better!

Ez az igazi stílusok,

gitárral sokkal jobban szólnak!

[Picuj]

Maradjunk annyiban hogy ez is jól megy nekik. :) (Mint ahogy sok más stílus is amibe már belekóstoltak az elmúlt 23 évben.) Az igazi szílusuk azonban azt hiszem mégis a szintihangzás. Persze ez csak az én véleményem. :)

Üdv!

[tomialpha]

Egyet értek veled, tényleg a szintihangzás a stílusok,de a gitár szerintem felélénkíti és hangulatossá teszi a számaikat,legalábbis ezen a lemezen nagyon jól bevált,kár hogy sokan nem így látták,pedig a Release egy nagyon jó munka, a Please és a Very után talán a legjobb(szerintem).Az biztos,még soha nem csináltak rosszat,a Depeche Mode mellett ők a legjobbak ebben a műfajban,nagyon kedvelem őket.

Üdv.:Tamás

[grimlund]

Been too London two times...love the City...Great song.

[doplgangr]

makes me miss London... need to go back there again.

[mazmanian06]

is this the video directed by martin parr?

[minastirith]

It's funny, if this video actually shows London accurately, Boston is quite similar to London.

I was just watching this like, hey, this is familiar.

[issomak]

one day , i'll take my girl to London to complete her dream

[rd914]

Brilliant video. London the global city... NY before Disneyfication.

[englandcalling22]

London couldn't be pictured better than in this video. That's exactly what makes it the most amazing city in the world and makes me proud to call it my birthplace.

[ImagenPD]

Recientemente "The Pet Shop Boys" acaban de producir para Sam Taylor Wood, el cover a un tema clasico de los ochentas llamado: I'm In Love With A German Film Star !!! hecho famoso por The Passions.

Ademas se encuentran preparando lo que se sera su nuevo album,

Mismo que vera la luz para el primer trimestre del 2009.

London !!! es un tema que viene incluido en su album Release del 2002.

[summer4autumn]

......East End boys and West End girls.

[Davebatch]

3:00 - 3:07. Says everything you need to know about London. Old chap, no help, London stinks.

[meiakitty]

This song makes me a bit sad. But it's another brilliant one by the Pets. Love them! Love the city too! Thank you Neil and Chris!

[SisPsychosis]

OASIS 0:23

[Jordan66]

0:23 OASIS :)

[vicko77]

I love this song. I LOVE LONDON. I still cry when I hear this song, always when I hear it. I used to live in London. in 2003. I am from Slovakia and I was there working on a "building site" among my other jobs, just a week, :)) truly, and I was working with guys from Morocco, Africa, Kazahkstan, Ukraine, Poland, those people who came from abroad, I always felt so much of compassion to them, to us, workers, I LOVE PEOPLE, from wherever you are. And I have sign from Neil,with wishing for me.

[psiker1]

PSB are probably the only influence to my own music!

PSIKER

[arnopeter]

Love London too, just as the song

[jjcolin]

I love this song...and maybe, i'll be in london in september!

[BlacksVideos]

This is wonderfull. London looks so nice but I've never been there actually. The city looks so amazing, especially Soho.

[undosilence]

Love the Pet Shop Boys ... Their videos are always special and not like the mainstream. This is touching... and making me smile

[pierbour]

In September 2008, I will be in London.

(Let's do it ! Let's break the Law !)

May I have some crisps and a pint of lager ?

[MissAlegra]

(from the OS of the PSB:)

"Its video, shot by the renowned English photographer and filmmaker Martin Parr, intermingles footage dramatising the lyric, images of everyday London life and scenes of the Pet Shop Boys busking the song in various London locales. While filming, they are hassled by drunks in an underpass..."

Anyway, the scene in which the drunk gives money to Neil and Chris is very funny!

[kikin1975em]

3:40 that man was drunken intentionally on the video? :)

[psbguy]

nice song indeed , thnx

[onurcano]

I love this song too. Thanks for sharing.

[chrisdiego10]

[Big3Show]

[MissAlegra]

What a good and meaningful video! Touching, and human.

Love you, PSB
