Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It

[Glesgabred]

@vixie Who gives a monkeys! Bog off and find some other nappy wearers!

[vixie2010]

Even though i wasn't even born when this song was released, i grew up to listening to them as my parents was always playing their albums :)

All the Talk Talk songs always reminds me of my childhood :) x

[poisoninfiltration]

the gathering...

[doginab]

It can't be beat !

[doxipunk]

one of the best songs of the 80's :> my fave

[Jukesy39]

@doxipunk I agree. Awsome !

[jeuleud]

This Video & Song are so radiating and will always stand the test of time. A jewel that only the 80ies were able to "produce".

We love you, Mark!

[RaphaelFragelli]

Music with passion !

[ADD112]

i guess you guys are partly right...although i don't know how i feel about 15 year old kids "getting" this song only from xbox...hopefully they'll listen to it more closely...i guess youtube is also a way to get reacquainted with music, too....

[Meowbay]

emi, you SUCK for disabling the embed function.

[ADD112]

also will the morons that keep bringing up vice city actually listen to the lyrics and stop bringing up their xbox talk...

[Primodummy92]

@ADD112 Believe it or not, games like vice city will help future generations to have better choices in music, so prepare for more comments like these ones.

[Me7roiD]

@ADD112 Unfortunately, Primodummy92 is pretty much spot on there. The kids nowadays have pretty much no exposure whatsoever to such music. So even though it's annoying, perhaps we should actually thank Rockstar for taking GTA to the next level with its awesome soundtrack...

Back to the topic at hand: I still wonder why this ambient sound so typical of the late 80s/early 90s just sort of imploded and disappeared after 95... pity, if you ask me.

[thisrainykitten]

@Me7roiD I agree.

[Tamanatera]

Der Absolute Hammer.... sehr Charismatisch....

bis heute einer meiner Lieblingssongs!!

[Roadie02]

I was in the prime of life in the 80's so these songs are my era. Thanks for the video, it brings back memories.

[Andras75]

brilliant song & excellent video

[nueve992]

the best music of vice city!!!!!

[Insomneack]

5 Justin Beaver fans accidently found this page.

How can anyone not like one of the greatest songs and bands of all time?

[TruthApple88]

I am 16 and have learned there are some REAL gems be4 I was born Bobby Fuller Talk Talk all that 90's hip-hop...GR8 stuff

[ADD112]

@TruthApple88 Wow...really? You think it is possible that there are some real Gems prior to 1994? Newsflash: MOST of the music before you were born is better than the crap you're growing up with today, mate. I pity today's apathetic youth...if you're into rock/grunge prior to your time and pre-Nirvana check out Dinosaur Jr., The Replacements, The Pixies, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine to start off with...

[oddballsok]

Talk Talk / an era when bands were picked/signed for their musical quality and not for the looks. An era bygone.....

[aplambe]

If you are reading this you're either the same age as me or a teenager who has got here by mistake.

Great music, love it.

[aaronrocs]

@aplambe and what age would that be? I'm twenty six. I was 2 when this song came out.

[alalal420]

this song never gets old to my ears,one of the best

[Pec1303]

[dayzsrfine]

I CANNOT beleive this came out in 1986....is it me or do they seem just a TAD bit ahead of thier time here?????

[xodiachild]

@dayzsrfine no seems just about right for the era. glad we had it.

[dayzsrfine]

@xodiachild i d k the video is way to advanced for 1986. The imagary, the darkness, ..and thier dress is wayyy 90s.. I d k anyone wearing ponytails in 1986 but girls and harley riders. I dont think they are chicks or bikers ;)

[xodiachild]

@dayzsrfine perhaps this was their way of showing everyone something out of the ordinary. at least for the 1980s :)

[yetanotheraccount2re]

@dayzsrfine Mmm- INXS had ponytails, also Adam Ant- it was around

[yetanotheraccount2re]

@dayzsrfine Mmm- INXS had ponytails, also Adam Ant- it was around. Wow this song takes me back to college. Everything was so cool and exciting. Thanks for posting this vid!

[keki2006]

@dayzsrfine rite the vid look like 96 or something

[dayzsrfine]

V eryyyy coooll!!!!!

[Niggs3000]

[pogsboo]

[moatazeft]

[CharlieLuga]

GTA VICE CITYYYY!

[MrBrentR]

Good 80's songs-underrated.

[AORCrazy]

Between very few best bands i ever heard, and i heard A LOT of various music genres and bands, they really made awesome music!

[yohanpace]

to me , THIS was the theme song for Vice city

[malaperdas30]

love the lyricks

[SirBounder]

@malaperdas30 - but a pity you can't spell the word

[malaperdas30]

@SirBounder your an ass man! did i spell it right? what about this....FUCK YOU! IS MY SPELLING OK? correct me if im wrong ok?

[embed000]

@malaperdas30 well actually, it's "you're", not "your"

[Bunty1962]

@embed000 and it is 'I’m' not im if you are going to be pedantic

[embed000]

@Bunty1962 =D

[vivellasmum]

Pure genius. I agree with MrVictor, the vocals are gorgeous, the video is lovely & this is probably my all time favourite song EVER

[XXxCMAN98xXX]

the eighties good cars and music and a good republican presdent

[buckmofo]

@XXxCMAN98xXX - president Reagan ? What an arse !!!!

[Bangthatass]

FLASH FM!!!!!!

[RKOStyles23]

Watching this at 3am and being tired as fuck at my friends house while watching this with another friend. Throw this one in with the other Shitty 80s Videos/Songs.....it's so bad it's good.

[Enohead]

I love this song. Back when music was still art. Mark Hollis is so effing talented.

[kshep92]

NOT what I was expecting the lead singer to look (and act) like. Excellent song though, very relaxing. GO VICE CITY!!!!

[MrSwedjen]

One of my favorites from the '80's.

[GTAGeneral]

99 % of the people who views this video probably knows it from grand theft auto vice city ?

[mina75]

@GTAGeneral this game had a wonderful music; the first Wipe Out made me discover techno !

[derrumluke]

@GTAGeneral i play this all the time on gta your right ..

[bujyj]

@GTAGeneral I am proud that I belong to the 1%!!!!!!

[paulosf100]

one of my favorites songs, great vibe, powerfull beat

[xodiachild]

I probably wont ever understand why there are so many animals and insects in their videos, but they still have good tunes :D

[SouthDownIPLO]

great song what year did it come out

[tjaptjoytjendol]

@SouthDownIPLO 1985

[902107910]

@rushgirl1000

I had absolutely no interest in 80's music (being only 17) until playing Vice City :P

Now I'm getting full albums of INXS, Spandau Ballet, Talk Talk (of course), and my friends think I'm weird for it, Ha!

[TheDigitalGeisha]

@902107910 I don't know if you'll like her, but you should check out Kate bush, especially "The dreaming" and "Hounds of Love" albums, she's the fucking BOMB!..........

[902107910]

@TheDigitalGeisha Ha, I know her from gta as well, she has great music, running up that hill, wow, wuthering heights, babooshka :D

Thanks for the recommendation :)

[ian9178]

Gr8 song. 1 of my favs. (Y)

[jay260569]

[xxnobody1]

The guy at 1:17 looks like one of Voldermort's horcruxes. The one that is a 17 year old version of himself presserved in a diary. I'm suprised those bunny's in the video arent hanging from a tree.

[Crisu20]

wow! hq!!!

[Amaryllis221]

Great song!

[OralAgreement69]

the thing that makes this song so great is that ... its all true. EVERYTHING HE SAYS IN THIS SONG IS 100% TRUE. that transcends everything. it doesnt matter if you have a problem with the music.....all the words are true and resonant

[jack00008]

by the way, if you think this is their best work, check out Laughing Stock.

[hyperium2]

[CountessRi]

[4okoladen]

For the girl that have special place in my heart NaTe <3

[clazza01]

[nedirnedir]

This is music...

[elverdugorojo]

This is a wonderful piece of music , is a true hand-tailored for night hunters : guys and girls seeking strange encounters , making their spirits, bodies and hearts vibes....

Night lifes ....Night lights....Night girls...Night boys....Nights forbidden pleasures ...

Nights for strange glances at other's stranges eyes...That's all you will have left to dream about when you'll get older and older...." All those night's lifes encounters of your passed away lifes"....

elverdugorojo

@passacaglia28 much love.

[61vanilla]

AWESOME song-LOVE it só MUCH !!!

[InnocentBystander82]

This is one of the most amazing tracks I've ever heard! Took a listen to it cos I heard an interview by Roland Orzabal saying how much he fancies Talk Talk. Can't wait to hear more of them.

[MG3AEH]

The best song of the 80's.? (Discuss)

[dovie2blue]

@MG3AEH nothing to discuss it just is.

[samcolly1966]

class

[electroweak02]

shame EMI removed the soundtrack. They are going bust anyway. Good riddance.

[onthemoveagain]

Great composition by Hollis-trying to rationalize living life-great guitar riff too.

[TheBossOfAsus]

this is my favourite song !!! 5 STARS !!! :x:x

[jaytotheell]

tassled, brown-coated harmony guy is cute!

[Bunty1962]

Right into my Favourites - what a song! Mark Hollis come back please wherever you are.

[ilovejeremykylex]

go vice city

[Glesgabred]

Paddy & Mick were on a rollercoaster. Paddy says to Mick, "Now Mick. If this thing turns upside down will we fall out?". Mick says, "For Feck sake Paddy. Of course we won't fall out. Sure we've been friends for years".

[gordieK]

I thought racist jokes went out with Bernard manning?

[hanrahan100]

i herad it on vice city

[kyuss2922]

oops, meant to give you a thumb's up! I'd forgotten all about this song til I heard it again on that game!

[amajor888]

SWEET MUSIC...one of my favorite songs. Very uplifting

in dark times...stay present people..

[6andrax6]

nice! his voice is the best... Talk Talk is cool!!!!!!!!

[kyuss2922]

Anyone happen to know who played the guitar lick on this song? Is it Mark Hollis? Robbie McIntosh and David Rhodes are credited with playing on this album, is it one of those 2?

[amico78]

I think it's David Rhodes on it......

[adamsez]

Video directed by Cure regular Tim Pope. Exteriors shot on Wimbledon Common.

[AlcoholLevel]

what I love about this video is that it creates an impression of being deep in a rain forest .. maybe the amazon or madagascar but clearly its not. The cold air is evident in the condensation of the pianists breath, the fox and hare are typical english prey but the slimy centipedes build upon that idea of a totally wild environment.

[SirCreef]

brilliant song and a timeless and superb video. hard to belive it came out in 1986, still sounds and looks as good today as it did back in 1986 :-)

[sleinad]

There's something not only about this video but about the music that makes he think that Björk used it to inspire her song "Human Nature"

[joewtjoewb]

I love the way the guitar cries to me.

[quintadaria]

TALK TALK were one of England´s best ever bands their music is very clever arranged with simple lyrics combined with pretty songs and original songs. These guys first met up in London somewhere in early 1981 and all 4 started writing excelent music and made some 8 albums during the 1980s but supposedly EMI abandoned them or rejected them or so the story goes so they decided to go their separate ways in about 1991 or so.

[FederalReserveMan]

I was in the this band

[kevo8t6]

made the year i was born 86 :)

[tomby68]

The drummer is great...thats what I remember from this video...great song

[nesslad77]

class tune... class band ... life is what u make it , lets hope i take the advice lol

[TheRedwacko]

life is what you make it so do the things

you always hated

[lizrocks1972]

Love this so much. I was an 80's teen and come from Liverpool, their hometown. This takes me back in time.

[pdbmercury]

@lizrocks1972

Not Liverpool, Essex boys

[mateusbressycaino]

Pefect , that song make me happy. =D

[lenarends]

I'm a child of the 80s, but I missed this song at the time, somehow.

I first heard this song on the "radio" in Vice City ... I was smitten immediately.

[foreverthewho]

ohyea, vice city lol xD

[odettica]

TE AMO MARK!!!

[MrRodrigohernansanti]
