  • Pure, raw emotion and feeling. Music for your soul.

  • I pity all guys who make love to their girlfriend with "Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthews playing in the background and think things couldn't get more romantic. That's a great tune, but it could never touch this. This song is as stunning and intimate as it gets. And to think this was written by someone who didn't write alot of love songs...Rod Stewart better watch his back :)

  • how did i never hear this song before.

  • fantastic!

  • 4 people have shit for brains.

  • perfect track

  • zajebiste

  • Well baby, have a wig stand.

  • This was and still is my favorite by Talk Talk. He sings so soulfully and with so much heart.

  • bloody fantastic band, their music is so intense. it feels like a perfect lover!!

  • Great band, fantastic track. I remember seeing them at the Cornwall Coliseum in 84 or 85. Bloody brilliant night, their music is so intense :0)

  • @ a5nkzsw8 Un listenable ? I know that music is subjective .But Saying Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock are un listenable Sounds a LOT like EMI when they brought Talk Talk to court after they got out of their contract with EMI . EMI sued Talk Talk for making an Un sell able record . The case was thrown out of court.

    You are in a very small minority that does not like the last 3 LP's the best . Laughing Stock's minimalism was both genius and a Masterpiece . And it was quite listenable

  • This track still sounds so... dramatic after all these years, all the pain and frustration is still in it. Great song, great performers, alas they only did The Colour Of Spring album and then they chose to start making unlistenable records like Spirit Of Eden. How I'd wish to see the Talk Talk of the first three albums back, I suspect they didn't even realise back then what kind of brilliant tracks they wrote.

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

  • reaL musiC!!! todays trash cant even compare,, music today is only fit for robots an mooo-cows,, this generation is practically soulless, an its a shame*(

  • @zeelove8 you're so right. Such a shame .......... keep rocking !!

  • This is one of my all time favourite tracks, They should get a brit for outstanding contribution to music. All their albums were masterpiece's.Proper musicians.

  • @donjoe68

    Proper musicians indeed! The crap artists of today should take note.

  • The Best!!!

  • simply... every element of this masterpiece is on it`s right place...it`s...Talk Talk...

  • The best thing about the Talk Talk music on Youtube is that, unlike every single youtube video, there isn't a single comment that includes shitty talk about Vevo, or Justin Bieber, or how X people are faggots.

    Just awesome!

    Enjoy;)

  • What a Tune from one of my favourite Acts of the 80s :)

  • Who's Renee?

  • renee c toute mon enfance !!!superb ,griandiose tu peux pas te lasser de ca......g 42 ans today et ca a passer vite

  • renee c toute mon enfance !!!superb griandiose tu peux pas te lasser de ca......

  • grossartig....heul!

  • elle est trop belle cette chanson ,j adore....

  • superb relive the eighties in these shit times

  • WHAT AN INREDIBLE VOCAL!!!

  • salut je dedit se du az mon oncle christophe a sa voiture ford sieera coswort cher oncle tu a prefere le cote obscure les amis tu t en appris sois heureux merci pour tous les bon moment je pardonne tes faiblesse que les astre te porte conseille aujourd hui je marche sur ta route et sa depuis toujours merci frere que la fraternite te sois favorable

  • This is super! Thanks for posting this. Mark Hollis, I miss you man. Since I was 13 years old up on til this day, still the best band ever. Coming home after a long day, turn on the cd player and put Talk Talk on.....and then ready for another day. Live the best voice ever!

  • I was listening to that song shortly after my dad died. I was 14 back then. I have good memories on Talk Talk songs. They cheered me up and I mostly felt that Mark was singing me RIGHT OUTTA MY SOUL!

  • Scratch a record and it's a hit these days.

  • ci sono canzoni ke segnano la tua vita x l'intensita ke hanno e chiudendo gl'occhi ti riportano a vivere quei fantastuci anni 80 ke mai piu torneranno ma ke sempre sono e saranno parte di noi...grazie di aver fatto parte della mia vita mjtici TALK TALK...e noi siamo sempre qui ad aspettare un vostro ritorno....

  • amazing band...truly amazing...people have underrated this band ...probably one of the greatest bands in music history...innovative, pure talent and vision. compelling..people are fucking stupid not to attempt a revolution on what has become of music since the early 90s. and today we have the worst of all, would anyone care to tell me who that is??

  • @codern

    lol let me guess...

  • @daansmit123 exactly, justin the vagina bieber!

  • @codern haha always the bieber comparrissons on youtube:)

  • @daansmit123 well its becuase boober epitomizes what has been brewing in the industry since the mid 90s, and now he has finally landed. He gets to be on top when music like this has been virtually pulled underground.

  • @codern

    good point, but the faggy bieber and rihanna and all that shitty music will always be at the top of the commercial music business, while it isnt the best music by very very far.

  • One word for this Band ''Unique''

  • just wow

  • timeless.

  • Absolut genial dieses Lied-Talk Talk for Ever!!!

  • ke canzone intensa ma dove siete Mark tornate ci mancate un casino.....sempre e comunque w i talk talk.....

  • When i kissed her this song was playing,,, thought she was the heart beating inside me~ it got late and i walked her home and maaaan i couldnt let her go, if your out there to day you still cross my mind. Thank you for making me the man i am today. 8/23/84 was that day..

  • Oh yes.. I sure can recall on the sweet pathos of being love sick with 17 in the 80ties.

    Great band, great song.

  • most emotional band ever.... awesome music

  • Remember, back in the 80's, if you where a TalkTalk fan, and feeling like you where the only one!. Well folks, lets all pat ourselves on the back, we had SUCH good taste!!.

  • @Mega80schild .....and we still do!.

  • @Mega80schild

    Yes....We do!

  • @Mega80schild

    Love your screen name. I'm patting myself on the back as I type this. I'm typing with just one hand if you're wondering. Typing with one, patting with the other!

    This music stands the test of time doesn't it? It will never get old, it's just that good.

  • @n8tureboy lol, that must be one hell of a disjointed elbow you have there.

  • god ! i love this song !

  • I got into Talk Talk by listing to this album on tape whilst working on a customer's car back in 1985. It has remained my favourite album ever since, worn out 3 tapes and on my 2nd CD, i just never tire of it and it never seems to date. Awesome!!!!!!!

  • a girl i like has the name RENEE

  • one of the best songs ever written.one of the best voices ever heard.

    you do the math.

  • The opening is just sublime, but I think the chorus lets it down a bit.

  • Don't sit down to listen to Talk Talk if there's something else you should be doing because you'll never get around to it...

  • @eddiesconcern

    Like eating a potato chip isn't it? Can't stop at just one. TT's music draws me like a Moth to a flame.

  • There's never been a voice quite like Hollis' before or since he graced us with his brilliance. I just wish that they would reunite for at least one show: Is it too much to ask?

  • On top of all bands and yes Mark rules.................nothiing compares

  • Everyone has a Renee.

  • @beowulven

    Yes! They do!

  • It's amazing what little Mark Hollis support/appreciation there is in contemporary music. I think he is an amazingly deep vocalist.

  • Sublime song. Absolutely brilliant band bordering on true genius.

  • Anu, muistatko?

  • Love this, brings back many memories....

  • I have so much shit to filter through my daily existence, but listening to music like this puts everything else in its proper place.

  • and belonging to the eternity of the best works of art in this human world.

  • @damonjon : it's just maybe because MH and TT's music and genius are TIMELESS...

  • epic, way ahead of it's time. reminds me of being....young and wondering why I loved this music so much

  • @damonjon the emotion they inspired was deeper than I could identify with at that age

  • Brilliant, one of my old time favourite crying songs. This song is so full of emotion, of power, so full of IT. Bless Talk Talk, it's been one of the prescious ones since the 80's....

  • very good atmospheric song, fantastic sound

  • This song always takes my breath away. I loose myself in it. .. It a beautiful production..

  • I didn't know this band had so many great songs, I DO NOW !

  • Millions of fans are waiting for ONE FINAL world tour. Whoever reads this and knows Mark Hollis... make sure he sees it!! We know Talk Talk isn't gone forever. There's ONE MORE thrust to satisfy millions of waiting souls. I personally would circle the earth to witness every single concert!

  • Now this is what i call MUSIC

  • Fan de Talk talk depuis 1984 & j'aime toujours autant écouter ce groupe ...Subliminal

  • Many memories some good some bad many hazy...Love it!!

  • q atmofera de este grupo , perfecto

  • ahhh what kind of bass is this

  • My dear sister was a lost soul, i miss her everyday!

  • Genius.

  • I LOVEEEEEE IT!

  • wtf ??

  • Man time, what is time,

    time is now,

    not yesterday

    seems everything was yesterday

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

  • Comment removed

  • My Fave Band Of All Time + Fave Song Too..........Wonderful !

  • Gorgeous. I think that the entire album is one of the ten best albums I've ever heard.

    This one and Tomorrow Started are terrific, Hollis voice is soft, touching and powerful as well.

  • @Tes80 You're absolutely right,i do agree too

  • I had this song in the 1980s - did not have clue what it was about. Acquired it again in 2009 and I understand it and can't leave it alone. But then I have walked down the stupid road Renee walked!!!

  • Comment removed

  • love this joint wow, thanks for the lyrics!*)

  • This song has it all...BRILLIANT...love Talk Talk...

  • Baby how the weeks fade...

    Baby how the streets change...

    This song kills me everytime I listen to it.

  • Gab es jemals wieder einen Sänger mit so einer wunderbaren "leidenen" Stimme??? Gott im Himmel, was ist dieser Song geil! Gänsehaut ohne Ende...

  • My favourite track off this album. Thanks for posting. :D x

  • Que linda música, que banda x Dios!!! Excelente 10!!!!

  • -))))))

  • Sempre da brividi...

  • magnifico..

  • 25 ans plus tard, les émotions sont intactes et le plaisir de redécouvrir intense. Du beau, du grand, de l'excellentissime Talk Talk !

  • Great tune and a very good group. Reminds me of dodging school and going to my mates and listening to this and other classisc tracks.

  • @bakelsjimmy

    You gents had fine taste! I'm afraid my friends and I were listening to Motley Crue...

  • @beowulven

    I don't just have good taste I have correct taste.

  • @bigfootsize12

    Everything you've ever chosen, selected, tasted... just perfect.

  • @bakelsjimmy After all these years, worn out 3 tapes and now on my 2nd CD, this album is still awesome and so addictive just can't stop listing to it!!!!!!

    By far Talk Talk are my favourite and never date.

  • I have very fond memories of listening to this music in the 80's. I absolutely love Talk Talk's music. Everything sounds so good and goes together perfectly. I think the music and lead vocals are outstanding.

  • Agree. Mark Hollis has such a unique voice.

  • Rua otávio carneiro ouve esta música e se embreaga de memórias maravilhosas..

  • ...un tuffo nel passato!

    ...Davvero stupenda!!!!!!!

  • Ill never be able to comprehend how this band slipped through the cracks. Better music has not been made.

  • well i would say better music has been made, especially joy division songs.

  • They're not better at all. Just as good and in the highest class of music. Believe me, I'm not sure it is possible to love JD more than I do. There just reaches a point where all the best sit on the top shelf together.

  • i think they are better

  • And maybe when the cheat plays Maybe when the ace falls from his suit And he tells you 'Yeah that's the game, I didn't want to lose it on the two' You're playing his way But the prize that you've been losing was youth And I say 'Throw the ace and face up to the truth' Renee Renee Renee Renee
  • trolls allready spoiling serious questions about a genius who made some good music in the 80's past century

    Prolly yer diapers time repetto 87, ornot

    even a spermseed

  • what's Mark Hollis doing now?

  • boh... is a secret......

  • glenhomer22 is funny!

    Anyway, that was my favorite. Yes. It's beautiful.

    Special Band, special voice, special emotions, special memories.

  • beautiful

  • Amazing song from an amazing band 5/5

  • Looking back, and as an old-bloke now ... I still don't know who's fooling who. Seminal. Life changing, music. Still as good etc, etc, . If you don't know this band, buy the last albums first. Anyhoo, happy friday cybernauts, love and peas, Sid.

  • they made way for radiohead not a bad thing

  • Most definitely.

  • They were 8million and 7 times better than Radiohead !

  • Can you really compare and rate 80's new wave/synth with 90's experimental rock/electronica? I think both groups are great but also that it would be unfair to compare them since they are different genres, Radiohead is not trying to mimic them. I just sit down, listens and enjoy music at it's best.

  • Rooney....Rooney, that's what it sounds like!

    Just a joke, I think it's a great song from the unique Talk Talk.

  • Compare D.D with T.T.

    Hollis versus Le Bon.

    Throw the Ace and face up to the truth.

  • hello- what do you mean?

  • Thanks little bro. This is a great old scholl song !

  • @Jabberw0cky7 It's not bad for sandals also - but I wouldn't be seen dead listening to it in brogues!!!

  • Excellent song !

  • absolute class, album takes u on a trip

  • This song is soooo mesmerizing. Gives you so many thoughts captures you in a deep thought. I love TT.

  • Comment removed

  • timeless and pure quality

  • great track any comeback news? mark has the best 80s voice of all.....

  • Mark Hollis was a true genious - and what a great voice!

  • i remember i was 16 sadly in love... locked my door, didn´t leave my for 2 weeks just listened to this song... i nearly starved ;o)

  • my parents were in a divorce and me and my brother were diving into the music. we survived the divorce as my parents did. my father passed away in 2005 but the divorce didn't separate us.

  • thanks colour of spring, you're the best for adding the best song from that album.

  • My Favourite record from Talk Talk even though there are so many to name because this is different and very catchy and Mark Hollis Brilliant Singer. P.S. Coincidence that Renee Zellwegger my favourite Girl has something to do with it Thanks for Posting.

  • I,too, haven't listen to this song for over 20 years. It was great then and bloody brilliant today. Great voice and a great band regrettably overshadowed by the big guns of the 80s.

  • Yaeh thats it in a nutshell...unglamorous and pretty much unmarketable...but to those of us who found them...and that tolling bell in Renee 3esume the song up for me!! Great days and a truly outstanding band...

  • I haven´t hear this song more than 20 years...breathtakaing today like those times!

  • If you have ever longed for someone, and they slipped thru your hands....

  • un gruppo avanti 30 anni rispetto al panorama mondiale anni 80 da cui provengono....

  • i am a hard rocker...but...this band...i have no word...SUPERBI!

  • Heartbreaking, it's so beautiful.

  • Talk Talk is one of my faforites more than 20 years...

  • This song is soooooooo beautyfull that i have no words for it !!!

  • I have not really checked out Talk Talk since I owned a couple of their albums in the 80's. I had no idea back then how good they were. I think the big alt acts of the 90's and today, like RadioHead, Beck etc owe a lot to Mark Hollis and Co. Too bad the legwarmer decade just could not appreciate it!

  • Mark Hollis, one of the best voices ever.

  • Those of you who where there; blessed you are! Once we asked one another, pick the five (5) albums to be with us should we be "cast-away". Was this one for you?

  • saw them in 84 at a london club one of the best bands Ive ever seen great atmosphere..the audience went wild !!

    Mark Hollis wonderful songwriter

  • adoro este grupo, musica muito diferente para os anos 80

    ouve-se sempre

  • ... and when i think that's in an album tagged as their 'new wave shit period' for some snobs (preferring the post rock late period, genius too in the continuity.. but different). Yes, sure.. that is "shit"... morons!! i want more shits like that nowadays anydays lol.... genius and sublime album too in the genre.. and sure not basic newwave only.. !^ and that one especially imo.. so damn good and unique Talk Talk, from A to Z (and the snobs with no ears can go to hell again here) ^!

  • Speak Geek! Someone may understand your POINT?

  • lol. fact is said like that was not very clear even for me in reading back :o) point was, anyway, or wanted to be ( :D ) : not only late TT.. as some guys try to say (rediscovering TT as 'pioneers of post rock' as they read in some magazines apparently, and thinking their early 'synthpop' period is bad..i try to say that politely here..:o/ ). so the big point could be; everything in TT is good actually, that's the only point... :*D

  • Pardon?

  • for what? i just tried to say, contrarily to some people that seem to rediscover TT those days only for their last 2 albums and as 'post rock' pionners (rest=useless newwave for those snobs..)...that they did great things way before their last period. That excellent track on the album It's My Life is one of the brilliant proofs : TT never was 'basic' new wave band..and did not begin to do valuable things only on their last 2 albums so. to sum up, i share your view lol. better said like that? )

  • You (and every lyrics site) have the lyrics wrong: the second line is "Baby, what's the best part of your youth - its cessation, yeah, that's a change." It makes a lot more sense that way...

  • one of the best bands ever. hollis's voice is sublime. they made so very many great songs. wish they would get back together.

  • " ..oh baby how the weeks fade ..." so poetic and the sound is so original, the voice ...amazing ....that's one of my top 5 albums, besides The Beatles and Peter Gabriel ..

  • An Absolute Classic!

  • Yeh saw that Live at Montreux to...perfect vocal...cant get over how good they were live

    loved them in the 80s but had never seen that gig before...bought it Amazon £10..so good

  • Mark Hollis is an absolute genius

    as are the rest of Talk Talk

    this is one of my faves

    saw the live at Montreux show the other night absolutely brilliant stuff.

  • qué buena canción, ojalà se reunieran porque son una excelente banda, aunque es muy difìcil que suceda algo así

  • His voice is an instrument in itself! It doesn't matter if he does pop crap or or experiential stuff or whatever. Mark Hollis' voice is an instrumental influence to anyone who wants to become a singer or songwriter. Such an incredible band that simply don't get the credit they deserve!!!

  • Solo e tanti brividi....................
