[mrtracy1000]

A beautiful song.Truly.

[Slipknotter8]

Fucking awesome.........

[bushtucker13]

Sung with total commitment love the guitar at the end

[ellencasinamcdonald]

intense feel to this one we all relate to at one time or another

[fortheloveoftunes]

Oh yeah "Hammond" in the mid eighties "synth" area wauw! .-)

[cttxlv]

Tim Friese Green contributed much

My love s never ending..........

[gracenoj]

FfaNTASTIC

[DerBaskervilleHund]

I reckon this album would have sold a lot more with a different sleeve design.  Loads of women seriously hate moths.

[WasabeJoe]

There is nothing - NOTHING! - Which Hollis and Talk Talk have done that isn't absolutely superlative. This musical group was far-too-far ahead of its' time. Brilliant.

[Gozeski]

Undoubtedly the best!!!

[stacisimp07]

awesome album came out the year I was born

[za1pp]

Highly under rated band. Awesome 80's music

[taffy35]

one word describes TT.....Brilliant!!..

[librarianscales]

Mark Hollis- one of the greatest vocalists of all time, as great as Bowie and Billy MacKenzie. This album is mindblowing and that Organ gives me goosebumps.

[marty9040]

its about time mark hollis/talk talk were in the rock and roll music hall of fame with the fab four the beatles.

[gigharborgirl]

Talk Talk is one of the best bands of all time, and sadly under-rated.

[bikerernie01]

I have to admit that the true hero of this song is the beautiful genuine Hammond Organ. There is nothing that has the look and feel of a true organ with a Leslie box.

This is my favorite Talk Talk album: contemplative and with a beautiful, easy instrumentation. The organ, guitars and brass section are out of this world. On the other hand the album is not too freefloating and new age. Thank you for posting this

[JohnLHume]

Struggled with a lot of personal demons in 86 & listening to this album helped immensely. Don't know any of the band look at these comments, but if they do thanks boys.

[jcfbell3001]

@JohnLHume

cool

[TimJakeGl]

Excellent track. Intensity of vocals - u feel it really matters to him - combined with the electric organ (is it Hammond ) or synth? Some of you 'T.T' experts maybe know

[Eyyoh77]

Mark Hollis has in pop musicthe same meaning like Samuel Beckett in literature. Godfather Himself!.Uncomparable and neccessary!

[kelly140766]

genius this is why britain produces the best

[BigDogsDangler]

Listen to this, then go and listen to Katy Perry, or GaGa, or some shit like that just to see how bad music has become.

[oneindachamber]

If any person looks closely at Talk Talk albums. You never find anything wrong with any album. All were great 5 star material. If you really think about it although you shouldnt have to nobody can really fuck wit Talk Talk.

[renter007]

The concert Live MONTREUX 1986 is epic. Never ever saw a live performance that good. I was there and now at age 45 still a huge fan, Talk Talk never bores me.

[JohnoEAL]

The epitome of perfection, a bloody masterpiece. One of the most perfect fucking damned songs ever written - I couldn't give a shit what any motherfrigging u2/floyd/oasis/coldplay fanatic says, TT are higher than all. And any fuckwit who comes back with "OYE PINK FLOYD/U2 ARE AWESOME! SCREW YOU, HAVE SOME RESPECT!" can suck my cock. They're as awesome as Britney Spears next to this level of pure genius.

[Slipknotter8]

@JohnoEAL Seems like the fanatic here is you, but whatever...

[ZenShroud1]

@JohnoEAL I love this song, no doubt as much as you if not more, but don't knock Floyd. And don't compare Floyd to U2. For fucks' sake, man.

[rogoldomedonfors]

@JohnoEAL Yes it's a good song. It's not the greatest song ever, not even the best on this album I reckon. Why try & compare all that other stuff with Talk Talk? Mark Hollis would be the first to disavow any such bullshit.

[AGodsKnightV8]

indeed. 

[Littlechinaquail]

His voice is just amazing. He could sing anything and still sound mindblowing.

[bwaschepers]

brilliant!!!!

[MrJohnnyhercules]

ok so lets make it number one for xmas like they did with rage against the machine, maybe we can get Cowell to " give it up ". A truly awesome song from a truly awesome band.

[RoofLight00]

Another piece of Hollis magic and genius. The whole album is an audio miracle!

[tkshots]

talk talk will be huge soon....

[furiousratt]

Hello perfection

[vinto34]

a unique voice mark has... all the talk talk albums have a warm feel to them...this could have been recorded in 2010...awesome.

[theBESTelvis]

@vinto34

YEE..very true, yet it's 24 years old. the whole...colour of spring album is a TIMELESS MASTERPIECE,

[Jarrigar25]

This is new for me and looks so huge my god.

[callicolady]

billy ocean in the 'related video' section=WTF



[foreverthewho]

@callicolady haha yes

[sandordeak]

talk talk is one of my favorite band.....still love their songs

[sportsmediaguy]

I wonder if Talk Talk ever came out with a Music Video for this song?

[appeboy]

@sportsmediaguy There was a video. It was taken from the live concert in the Hammersmith Odeon London in 1986.

[theBESTelvis]

@appeboy YE...i still got it on vhs.

[wennekuh24]

Wow,totally forgotten this song.Verry Good song.Reminds me when I was going to school.5* mate and grtz from the netherlands

[bahaparsasava]

This song, 'Happiness Is Easy', 'I Don't Believe In You' and 'Time It's Time' are true gems. Time can do nothing against them.

[M21MrChristian]

Hang Him.

Tune *****

[MrThornton23]

what do you call a bald fish ?

FINDING CHEMO

[TrilobiteFilms]

@MrThornton23 Hee hee hee hee

[austpom333]

It's a very good song

[marty9040]

its about time mark hollis/talk talk were in the music hall of fame.

[Rebumaxx]

Gruppi come i Talk Talk resteranno per sempre nella storia della musica.

Davvero un peccato che non abbiano continuato su questa strada...

[carlos002nz]

Siempre me gustaron las portadas de sus albumes. Luego he leído que buscaban eliminar lo superfluo y convertir el silencio en sonido. Así entenderás que dejaran de ser comerciales y no siguieran.

Originales!!!! Han pasado 20 años.

Thanks so much for letting me find it.

Happy New Year from SPAIN!!!

[jellybeafter]

mark hollis has retired from music

[westpalmscott]

These guys were commanding alot of respect back then, That is Steve Winwood playing with on this album when he was at the height of his own success

[MyPeetje]

formidable !!

[Soupermouse]

Why don't they make another tour? I can imagine what are the reasons no to do another tour, but people miss them. They should think about that. But then, I know it's complicated.

[larrymo123]

I miss these guys.

[mrsmusic007]

best song they made i think

[darthegun]

@mrsmusic007 great song yes but i much rather lifes what you make it

[AliAladin]

great song

[mululizi3]

greatttttt

[MrThornton23]

its not until you listen to  that musical crap thats out now that you appretiate the pure class of bands like these

[davidstruijk]

great!

[ferpastorino]

SUPERB!!!! TALK TALK!!!

[M21MrChristian]

The best musical voice i have ever heard. Nothing, absolutely nothing, compares too this Man's Sensational brilliance.

[7lartceps]

Great track love Talk Talk, definately check out Bark Psychosis, they`re are quite similar sounding and fantastic.

[jaidersblue]

absolute quality....enough said....

[tayalands]

i love too TALK TALK

[grambo365]

Crap! This was 1986, man I'm getting old it only seems like yesterday! I love Talk Talk!

[giampieroriz]

MAGNIFICO!!!!!!

[DarthCipient]

Imagine if someone like Mark Hollis went on "X Factor" or "Britain's Got Talent". Simon Cowell would roll his eyes and say "Nope Sorry....That's Three No's" because Hollis and Talk Talk or anyone distinct or outside the box don't fit into the plastic pop world. No wonder music is so shit these days. There's little room for anything different or truly innovative.

[Deadfreeeak]

Best comment ive read here.....Kudos.

[JohnoEAL]

Please don't mention that twat SC's name on a Talk Talk song (or on the same page, let alone same paragraph, as MH)...

[bigcoolviking]

yes indeed!!!!

[meddle71echoes]

♪ PLASTIC PEOPLE! ♪

[Choefoe]

The Beatles where also send away by the first door they knocked on, "No, don,t like it nothing new " proves that the people who suppose to know don,t always know, has to do with personal taste, they don,t leave it outside the door;-) so they make mistakes , some big ones;-)

[degree7]

@DarthCipient

There have been a lot of quite talented singers on American Idol, especially if you tune into this season. But with past ones, it´s true that the unique people are overlooked in favour of more rounded performers who can represent the entire pop star-idol mould.

But to be fair, people like Mark Hollis don´t pop up everyday, and if he did I´d doubt they´d need a singing competition to exercise their talents.

[berlinmitte10117]

@DarthCipient - I agree wholeheartedly.

[FoolOfGods]

@DarthCipient Well said sir, but be careful, lest you are discovered to be 'unsociable' ... Genuine talent is no longer valued - as with food, people are happier with 'quick and easily digested' - the constipated and musically obese are taking over!! This song is a true classic, thanks for sharing it

[aburtyboy]

@DarthCipient you are right on so many levels......

Vh-1 tried to coax Mark out of his shell.

any one that witnessed talk talk live yearns for the days that mark comes back to us on stage. the likes of simon cowell will be shitting themselves!!!!!!!!

[theBESTelvis]

@DarthCipient

well said, i hate that so called x factor bullshit.

this is real talent, mark hollis wrote amazing lyrics , and talk talks..colour of spring album is 1 of the best albums ever made, i still listen to it...24 years later.

its brilliant, timeless and just bloody awesome, lol

[EmotionalShredd]

@DarthCipient so true man. you brought it to the point

[gowashgo]

@DarthCipient Think about od 90"s and ... 86

[codern]

@DarthCipient beautifully said, and very true. I often wonder if im the only one who thinks that, that and that Simon Cowell should just fucking die already.

[hovis1962]

@DarthCipient too right mate, a maverick, too fuckin good for that shite.

[carbine125]

@DarthCipient Do u even try to listen to new music. If u did then you would know that there is lots of good music out there.

[DarthCipient]

@carbine125 Yes there is, but the point is that the music that gets the most attention is shit.

[carbine125]

@DarthCipient So who cares i don't listen to it so what should i care. Great video by the way.

[DarthCipient]

@carbine125 I don't listen to it either, but if the shit is getting more attention and exposure than the good, then it limits the amount of good music that can be heard by a wide audience.

[carbine125]

@DarthCipient I respect your opinion you make a valid point but in the end, people are idiots. Whenether I look at them I'm just humble because iv'e made the effort to listen to great music and watch great movies in the past and the present, it means "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe".

[markross68]

@DarthCipient that cunt would have said no to anyone who loves emotionally heartfelt music

[martyfromleeds]

@DarthCipient

ubt

This is one of the best albums of all time...no doubt...

[wegfdfhz]

The live version is so much better.

[Choefoe]

Mostly the case with REAL artist ;-) live shows prove what they really got , they got it

[RaulAngelDuMamarrach]

This is really my FAVORITE Talk Talk song, I prefer it before the much more popular song "It's my Life", song that I likes much so...!

[tatuuriespaciael]

they were, in the mid 90's in another band O' Rang, they have released, two albums i think. but one of them, is not part in the formation. don't remember exactly who....better don' t say

got it: oran g are paul webb & lee harris.....

without tim friese- greene and mark hollis

check as well bark psychosis, amazing band and rustin man...

cheers!
