Talk Talk - LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT - 1986

[RainfulPhenix]

This song always motivates me to study for my exams.

You can probably figure out why.

Unfortinatley its 3 in the morning.

[eldorado62]

What is it with all these f.....g adverts????

[cr3062]

nice tune

[cr3062]

Wild is not freedom...

[GezzaGee]

@Webkinz, On the other hand your neighbour is never likely to get Ring Worm from sitting in that sand with his Willy out! :)

[nealey2k7]

ahh for once an advert/commercial is what im greatful for! thanks to discovery channel!!

[Zoee2797]

great tune :)

[beofie]

Talk Talk had a big influence on other bands like Coldplay, U2, Aha enz.

[furiousfingers27]

Yeah, if the makers of a video game had the good sense to include a song like this in the game...then more props to them! :)

[Stormwatch153]

One of the fantastic timeless songs!

[Scarlettfever1991]

Grrrrr, what a song.

[MrLeighman]

Seems like every good song I like from the Eighties some blogger links it to this "vice city!"God Sheeple get over "vice city" - May I suggest that you can go and create something new, original, unique and beautiful for your generation! - like this song perhaps! something you will find it hard to realize playing violent gangster video games all the time, (although I am fond of games as well!) which must make you want to rob and murder! instead of creating a sense of purposeful harmony in life!

[degree7]

@MrLeighman

You are a silly man, GTA: Vice City, while just a video game, was a childhood experience that allowed millions of kids and teenagers to reenact their favorite moments from movies like Scarface, Goodfellas, or The Godfather, and relive the 1980s to boot.

Let's see if you can try and create an experience as awesome as that.

[tefore]

webkinzfreak221

never a truer statement

[de1hagar]

I did not hear this soo long but it still impact as much as it did when I did hear it for the first time in the 80's

[farbulek]

aut of 500 best songs by r stones ?!?! amazing !!

[KDub1963]

Long ago I posted a comment for this song and how true it is...Go...and LIVE!!!!!!!!!

Realize your dreams! And someone slammed me for it...some negative turd...and we went back and forth in messages. Some people will just NEVER get it...and that's why they are the way they are...they're stuck! And they don't want to try anything else...out of fear...supplying nothing but excuses!! Well...those are your excuses and they take your real life away from you.

WAKE UP and LIVE!!!

[cop2490]

god haven't heard this song in so long vice city what a game what a sound track

[TheLaluna1]

This is the way to look at life No regrets.You mak your own destiney!!!!!

[oetsk]

this is my nummer from my youth

good song

[TheMavemarc]

THE BEST BAND EVER , SNIF ....I MIS THEM

[Prods93]

VICE CITY !

[thepastyman91]

Thumbs up if Vice City brought you here!!

[JohnoEAL]

Thumbs up if "thepastyman91" should fuck off back to high school & play piece of shit video games with all the other braindead teenage high school sheep cunts!!

[thepastyman91]

@JohnoEAL Childish prick.

[UnchainTheNight1]

@JohnoEAL Man don't hate on him, it's not one of these shitty mindless games kids play now; the game was actually marketed to adults.

I was a kid however back then (8 years ago) and it intrigued me a bit more that most, I started playing guitar and now I'm amassing a record collection.

If you make an asshat coment back, I'll just assume that you really are childish prick, and ignore you.

I also know you don't give a hit what I think, just saying.

[Aronia55]

@JohnoEAL U mad?

[GTAGeneral]

now THIS is what i call AWESOME !

[Jabbaro123]

Seriously this is one of the most laid back tunes ever.

[neuro72]

@ webkinzfreak221. My first crush bought me this on 7" for my 13th birthday. Thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. Bloody hell, I'll have enough memories for the whole of Liverpool to make me smile!!!! lol. You only get one life!

[nikola19191]

Probably the best musical achievement ever made,ever...

[vijanatrix]

tommy vercetti? shit, didnt think theyd ever let him out...

[QTwackoJ]

This song just adds to my frustration that I didn't live through the 80s...so powerful...

[rogoldomedonfors]

One of the very few great bands of the 1980's ... I suggest the Waterboys early albums as the only real competition, though the Smiths aren't far behind

[DanieldelosAndes]

Que cancion fantastica...la guitarra,la base,la voz,la melodia,el pianito...absolutamente sensacional,fuera de toda consideracion,estilo,fuera de todo!!!

[vidycz]

miley cyrus copied this into her song@!!!!!!

[Gaffeln]

I love the synth going on in the background :)

[MrMusicman488]

No truer words in the english language!

[obscuredreamer]

Listen carefully to these lyrics... indeed...

[NumberNin9]

Talk talk, the thinkings man's Duran Duran,... i love this band..

[XVLaHireXV]

that was so good

that might have saved the 80s really

[degree7]

At a time when the airwaves were populated by Flocks of Seagulls, there stood out Talk Talk.

My saviours.

[anthony2842]

piano reminds me of the Peanuts (Lucy and Linus) love both songs!

l

[xWinchestergirlsx]

yep, tommy verceti speeding down the beach towards the sun with this up as loud as, good times! x

[JohannaCruyff]

Hey Misha, hätten die damals Rowlands Gitarre gehabt !

[areuready2lol]

Damn I really needed to hear this song. Thanks!

[DuranDuranLiberty]

vice city. The music is bigger than the game, although the game is pretty big. Play it on xbox because graphics r better than ps2, also u can play all the music saved to your xbox on the car radio. But most importantly pull your car over and watch the sun rise to this song. Dont even worry about the missions.

[LarryArtFx]

Vice city!

[nitroherm]

1986 and i was only 4 years old.

But listening to this now, along with ''its my life'' and ''its a shame'' talk talk seem like a great band .

[LdotAngel77]

Wish I Was Born In The 80'S, Such A TUNE!

[MOSESCAT69]

That comment makes me feel old, lol!!! Glad you appreciate it x x x

[maus1971able]

danke für die lyrics und diesen klasse song.

[Picollo30]

im 10 years old and i friggin love this song. vice city ftw ^_^

[onthemoveagain]

Talk Talk,one of the finest bands from the 'new wave' era.

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

This is not a dress rehearsal.

[webkinzfreak221]

many people get to be my age,...and they look back on a rather dull, boring existance,..it doesn't have to be that way,..i'm not saying break the law or anything,...just take things with a grain of salt,...and love people,...and life, and try to make memories that you'll smile about when you're my age! i'm still doing it! i guess the old hippy in me won't let that change,...but, please don't be one of those pathetic old religious fools who now realizes what a load of bull that all was,too late!

[MOSESCAT69]

bloody good comments, well said x

[webkinzfreak221]

i so believe what this song says,...i'm 57, live my life by this song,...have a nieghbor who unfortunely lives his life shackled by the bonds of his relgion,...thinks i'm wild and irresponsible,...one day i said to him,.."what memories have you made for yourself that you'll want to remember when you're old? have you done anything wild and free, that makes you smile when you think of it?" he said not really,...i said what a shame,...DO IT NOW! it's never too late!GO TO A NUDE BEACH, RUN FREE!

[callicolady]

never a truer word spoken :)

[MOSESCAT69]

So well said. You go for it. Live is so very very short, we are only here for a short while. Good for you, live long and live free!! (I was born in late '69, I do wish I had experienced the sixties) x x x x

[BurniOwnz]

@webkinzfreak221 yeah right mr. troll

[callicolady]

@webkinzfreak221 .........quite possibly the best comment i've ever read on YT LOL....get those trousers off and run free across that beach :):):)

[alexandermccarthy]

@webkinzfreak221 Just run nude and free, and if you happen to be on a beach then so much the better!

[Necroman666]

@webkinzfreak221 i believe you are trying to put him in bonds for "being free"...

isn't he being free believing whatever he wants to believe in?

[psymasterfly]

@webkinzfreak221 ... your a great example for all... keep up your good spirit, so will i... many good greetings from holland!

[MrChill1042000]

@webkinzfreak221

have bought this album.........on record.......on cassette.......all my life.......could not do without it.......love to you noooooodist.

[richwicz]

@webkinzfreak221 Yeah, I fully agree! Run nude on the beach and let your tackle flap freely in the wind.

[swayzemastaflax13]

@webkinzfreak221 if your 57 why is your name webkinzfreak........

[cousiwa09]

sad, they dont make music like this anymore..

babe, yesterday's favourite....dont YOU hate it?

[bebe4c03]

I try to find this song...and keep seeing that Hannah Montana crap. This is the real music here not that bullshit she called herself creating. "Leave it to the Old Schools Please"

[aaronjarvis1]

Gr8 song. 1 of my favs. my favs from Talk Talk r Lifes what you make it & Its my life. 80s 4ever. 80s r the best.

[HyphyRell]

gta vice city introduced me to this song also great so tho hella relaxin

[7lartceps]

One of the best songs ever written as far I`m concerned, simple and timeless.

[ToniMartin77]

This song is bigger-than-life!!!

[rbirrell]

did someone say the 80s was a crap time for music?

[spectrum99122]

Now this band really did have the X Factor, not the Mariah Carey-type nonsense we get fed today.

[ivaudio1]

GTA VICE CITY :-)

[ninelivecat]

Such a classic tune from a classic year

[FM2ClubProductions]

If only such music was made today, people will relax to these tunes......

[psycho4808]

Still have the album "colours of spring" I bought in 1986 in vinyl sounded fantastic at the time and has'nt aged a bit , great music , great lyrics I never tire listening to it.

[samfisher170]

GTA vice city introduced me to this song

[srch4you]

Baby,

life's what you make it

Celebrate it

Anticipate it

Yesterday's faded

Nothing can change it

Life's what you make it

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TIMELESS LYRICS ... Talk Talk's music is awesome! The best of yesterday is alive today! Every note makes perfect sense. Talk Talk rocks, baby! Bring them back to perform ONE FINAL TOUR!!! PLEASE!!! They would rock the music world! Bring them back!!! WE WANT TALK TALK, WE WANT TALK TALK, WE WANT TALK TALK! Chant it loud and proud!

[plotyui]

Amazing Group!

[nixart7]

[alaphize]

[seanwsutton]

i love vice city :)

[Mchild7]

These kids need to stop playing video games to appreciate incredible music!!!!!

[DarthCipient]

Mchild7 - If being featured on video games exposes kids to awesome music like TALK TALK! then it can only be a good thing.

[ChazyChaz5]

[DrPhilMusic]

Vice City FTW!!!

[THELONDONBUSES]

HHAAAAAAA88GREAT THE LONDON BUSES

[rowdymax1]

True dat...this group always made music ahead of its time; a sign of pure creative genius.

[tijithyam]

we have been driving ourselves crazy trying to work out what the track was playing behind sky film previews - well this is it hooray we can all sleep peacefully once more fab fab fab.

[Dezs94]

But where is the original video?

[AbsurdistLover]

That backbeat is almost industrial.. Love this track

[peppe1968roma]

bellaaaaaaa! E io c'ho visto pure il concerto, pappappero!

[fearard]

Heard this played in a trailer for 'Friday Night Lights'. Twas perfect. Finally found out artist & title!

[artemichi]

[DarthCipient]

Absolute masterpiece.

[jimwave]

[GriefTourist]

life is what you make of it, sounds better

[stalledrangen]

A medicine to all of these people who don´t live their life as they should. For me for instance.

[vinexsa]

We should all follow this rule Shouldn't we.

[7lartceps]

[GTAHelfer]

Hehe, me too. Vice City's Radio songs are amazing! :)

[fenixthedagoner]

I dont know this song from gta and this is only 1 of 50 gta songs i know.

I think Rockstar knows to put the right music in gta :)

[JackM2409]

just after listenin 2 this a played vice city

[BonjoviScott]

The 80 s had so much more soul i think and it reflects in the music

[BonjoviScott]

lol VICE city ftw

[KuggWeg]

Yea thats cool ^^

Vice rules xD

[mitchmans]

:D:D vide city pwns :)

[tropigal1]

~Vice City~

[EleCtronicHouse25]

Flash FM

[lewisduncan93]

I want them to make a remake of vice city! but keep the same radios and songs! :D

[nzdnapalm]

Well they did. They made vice city stories, and it sucked ass :-)

The original vice radios rocked...who's on the line...

[lbowd7]

Love it!!!

[muc390]

just A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

definitely one of the most underrated bands ever!

shame they didn't have any big success on the charts!

[JoGGerJonas]

I agree - I mean, not alot of bands have EVER nailed this ballance between melencoli and lust for life.

[Nr002]

yes we all love GTA VC :D

[AlexZyka]

Are songs to be cosumed? Many are. Is this one of them? No. I get the feeling this song goes on and on before I press the start button and after I leave youtube. And that is a great feeling to have!

[AlexZyka]

This is bittersweet in a good way. I love those kinds of songs!

[drewsaledge]

this is awesome.

i like the weezer version too but this is so different and really good.

[IddyB]

Tragically, if not for Vice City, I wouldn't have heard any of these 80s songs.

[JBGFanatic]

me ,too! that's my all time favorite video game. it totally got me into the 80's.. that game & the breakfast club. now i love 80's music. it had some great songs on that game. (: FLASH FM, The Wave.. :P all that good stuff. Even V Rock. goooood game. <3

[IddyB]

Same here. I reckon the GTA series has had consistently great soundtracks.

[djaycunningtiger]

Always liked the drums on this track

[djaycunningtiger]

[zoolook66]

[michaeldok]

Absolutely brilliant idea to let the piano play the bassline

[PhillHaggath]

[RockaRolla831]

[Darknight19872008]

Pure brilliance

[liamrossabby]

anyone heard anything about where hollis is now? impossible 2 find anything about him....why would he just give up like that....hes massive.

[shinytinhead]

Defined the late 80's perfectly, i was there

[Pheonixfromtheshale]

Msg to Coldplay: Listen to the simple understated genius of these lyrics...the haunting, timeless perfection of the melody and how the guitar seems to wail for the very expression of the soul...

Now tear up your music contract, stare at the ground and say sorry like you mean it!

[xbigxredx2009]

I like coldplay brother - theyre a good band - but your paragraph describing the song is pure genius - the words you use fit the song perfectly - what a damn fine song!!!

[simliverpool]

Agreed Phoenix. Coldplay suck! This is musical heaven.

[universalmusikmaster]

gta vc

[barjumbo1969]
