I guess everybody has a great memory associated to this awesome song. Mostly written by former Frank Zappa's guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, Duran's player at the time, BTW.
@pfeitosa hi... this song is in fact written by simon le bon. he wrote this and two other tracks - which he refers to as his trilog (oridinary world, do you believe in shame?, and out of my mind). i think you meant to say the guitarist is of course warren cucurullo...who wrote the guitar string arrangement. but credit as lyrics by simon le bon.
@pfeitosa indeed, the guitar composition is from warren cucurullo. the song is written by simon le bon. i think le bons vocal and lyrics are what make this a special track.
@pfeitosa incidentally, the best music duran duran ever made is without warren cucurullo. he did ask several times to join duran duran prior them agreeing to take him on.
@tubeyhamster According to Wikinswers, "The model for that shoot was Virginia Anne Douglas, a heartbreakingly beautiful woman who retired from the business at an early age (despite an abundance of offers). The video was shot in Huntington Beach Park, California and it's theme was a wedding (with Ms. Douglas as the tender goddess of a bride)."
this is not the uncut album version, the solo is out of place and about 1 minute shorter, this is the radio version......anyone who likes this should seek out the original uncut album version.
In January 1994 I was on a plane to New York to attend the funeral of my brother who died from a long illness at the age of 37. I put on the airline earphones to distract myself as I couldn't proceed with writing the eulogy I was to give at the wake. This song was playing and tears just streamed down my face in grief. The song is so hauntingly beautiful but, it took me seventeen years before I could listen to it again. Now, I appreciate it as a truly masterful composition and video to match.
First time I heard this it brought tears to my eyes. Hey, is the bride in this video sad or something? She doesn't seem very happy when she wanders off... Love the dress though.
To feel loved by someone you cherish the most then have it slip away is very heartbreaking and soul destroying. Where do you find the escape from this? Your family, friends? We are not blind to the hatred that is commonplace in the world today. Some are deprived of love and companionship all their lives, the pain could only be secondary for them and the other reminders of their lonely existance. Ordinary people. Ordinary world. We long to survive.
Great lyrics, inspiring gtr solo, nice melody, but do they have to show those Lumene advertisements? Should the band be called The Ordinary Gay Guys? Gay rules Oh gay, don´t get me wrong!
What has happened to it all? Crazy, some are saying Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive que plenon del año 1993 tripeenla me da tristeza este grupo era uno de las mejores bandas y ahora van a ser teloneros de la banda Marron 5
Amazing video,reminding me of a woman i once knew, susie taught me the valuable lesson that choosing the right person is important,a woman can be the making or the breaking of a man ,i,m a wiser man 4 the experience. 5/5...
What a wonderful song!! I've shed a few tears myself during it.

still strange that Duran Duran was rock during the 80's then they went emoish punk and this song is a prime example.
