I'm glad this was made 17-18 years ago. If it was made today with today's CGI it would look rubbish and forgetable, like a Justin Timberlake video. And everyone would talk about how fake it was.

This video is not fake, it's creatively artificial. It's already stood the test of time for almost 20 years... here's looking forward to enjoying this again in 2030,
@chrysthyan77 Umm. No offense, but this song is about a guy having a fight with his girl/wife because he was in love with a man in the past. There are several implicit references to homosexuality: "changing teams," "going to go and get herself a real man instead," "Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock." The lines "Ask yourself: Can you even deliver/What she demands of you?" are also much stronger if they are pointed at a guy who's not certain of his sexuality.
@v312ym34n They are gay, always were, this song is yeah for a guy who would probably be happier with anotehr man , rather then being mad at women (or do you want revenge??).
@dingding377 i owe swampyfrognees an apology this song is about gay men who try to go out with women who try to pretend they are not gay listen to lyrics but i still love the song
@dingding377 i agree , and i believe that the sone has exactly this message : "being gay is not about revenge, be gay is you want or are meant to be, or .... don't be if otherwise" :)
@dingding377 Oh yeah, I love this song. I was just replying to a guy who posted that for him the guy in the song is hetero and trying to explain, no, Pet Shop Boys definitely wrote this song to be about a guy who's not sure.
@chrysthyan77 Who says you are a man who is a real man? This song made UK top ten in 1993, reaching number 7. Lyrics are just about a confused person....What disturbs you is probably that you find glimpses from your life in the song.
This song is the best. Forgiveness is the hardest thing anyone can do. People dont let go. Dont realize we are all human and make mistakes. Its awlful hold gudges because its very childish
Con "Can you forgive her?" los PSB iniciaron una línea de vídeos oníricos y surrealistas que culminaría en 1999 con el excelente "I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more". En "Very" dieron un paso más en su personal vanguardia, modernizando su imagen con efectos digitales y pequeñas dosis de humor, aspectos paranoicos y perfección estudiada. En 2006, con "Fundamental", jugaron con este mundo creado por ellos años atrás para parodiarse a sí mismos en el vídeo: "I´m with stupid".
Can you forgive THEM? I don't think so. PSP will always rule and their music and video are cleary piece of art with no imitation at all. So british, and so global.
Ce clip génial est sorti pendant l'une des périodes les plus déprimantes musicalement en Amérique : le grunge, avec Nirvana. Quelle période pourrie !!! Heureusement, les PSB étaient là pour mettre de la couleur et du rythme européen. Je déteste les USA !!!
What can I say, this song is so 'different' it has so much depths and peaks and there's a lot of romance in it that I cannot stay away from listening to it at least every once a month or so . . . . just GReat !
VERY is a classic album, Dreaming of the Queen, Go West, One and one make Five, Very is their 5th studio album by & released in 1993. All 5 singles off VERY had amazing videos, peace 2010
Not only a great dance song, but one of the great video clips of all time, along with classic vids like Bowie's 'Ashes to Ashes' - (look it up if you haven't seen it - it's worth it!), and 'Don't Dream It's Over' - Crowded House. Really spacy. However watching it today, I suspect these boys may've been experimenting with mind-altering substances....
I was in school when this came out. I was a massive PSB fan at the time, mainly because of my own sexual ambivalence at the time. I can't help but smirk at the bit about "that first friend".
They´re perfect...when they came to Brazil I was a teenager and I freaked out that I couldn´t go their show...this song is just amazing! And their performance also...
This is the song that made me a PSB fan, When it was released I was so fascinated by the music and Neils voice. I would sing it in my room so many times :D Then I discovered their earlier work I became a fan 4 life :D
@wolfglobal me paso lo mismo xD,escuche la cancion y lei la letra en esos momentos estaba acabado :( pero sus canciones me hicieron pasar por esa epoca triste :D
PSB estuvieron en concierto en la Cd. de México y fui con mi hijo de 7años (yo tengo 37) y le encantó!! Los dos lo disfrutamos muuuuuucho!!!!! Gracias PSB por existir! Thanks a lot for being PS, you are really great!
Bombastic intro really gets you hooked and the intelligent lyrics compliment this excellent song. Even though I don´t listen to their new stuff, this classic still get´s me singing out loud. Thumbs up for song and video.
No matter how much I agree that this song is fantastic, I think it is an GROSS OVERSTATEMENT to say that this song not making it to number one is a crime against humanity. Imagine to have your whole family murdered, your home torn down, everything you ever had taken away by evil-doers in the name of some twisted greater good, then compare it to this song not making #1. It seems quite easy huh? Still a great song though.
I'm pleased to have the opportunity to be the first to comment this. It's always been amazing, but listen this today let you understand how much was outstanding this song and this clip. It would be easily a top-10 everywhere today, and perhaps tomorrow.
this is the first music video i ever watched, when MTV still was good...

Go away David Guetta! You're distracting me from watching Pet Shop Boys.
They are not as big as Take That but they are still a great band.
Se A Vida E is a great summer track it doesn't matter what year it is it's a Summer anthem.
I actually sung Search My Heaven by Alesha Rome and it matched the background music really well.

Yes, i understand what they want to say in this song. And in my case is about o woman and a man.
Why the gay people think all the bands like Pet Shop Boys and Queen sings only for them?
The lead vocals are bisexual, not gay.
So I think they know what they are saying when they speak about love of a woman.
