It was 1993 I was working on a temporary wildlife biology project in the midwest, still in college only about 21. I was staying with a married couple in their 30's. Mary was so hot and alluring and sexy. Tommy gave me this CD he got it somehow and didn't like it. My infatuation with Mary was deeply placed in my subconscious such that I was talking with Sue who was in her 50's and I fell asleep on the couch into a talking dream state where I talked about what I wanted to do with and to Mary.
Think this track could've been used in a film or something, it's one of my favorites by them, I tend to think of this album as a more subdued version of their previous one.
True b/ Depeche Mode isnt and was never post punk. Early stuff was great synth pop...but it became cheesy.
Furs achieved it early on (retrospect) with original version of PRETTY IN PINK. Punk grit & pure pop.
Only comparable band is Bunnymen. Amazing music, but always found Ian McCullouch too pretentious/ cool and far away as a front man. Richard is charismatic, & wins any day over him. But they had different approaches. Furs were more pop oriented
@spunkets Many of them somehow began to develop a more mainstream sound by the mid-80s, in hindsight this would be temporary but we didn't know it then, for a long long time other than DM and U2 the rest have virtually stayed underground where they began.
Saw these guys at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut a few weeks ago. I was screaming to have them do this tune - bummer. Fantastic show though. They also missed doing Ghost in You for an encore but I would pay to see them again. His voice is still spot on.
One of my all-time favourite songs, I fell in love with its beautiful melody the first time I heard it on MTV Europe in the spring of 1991 and now, decades later, the magic is still there
I loved this album World Outside was very underrated, my favorite furs album is their most hated and disliked the somber Book Of Days.. Ruchard Butler truly captures sadness world weary and wasted time on that album
I find it strange why they used the single version of this song instead of the album version, I know there's at least 3 versions of this song, there's the album version, this version is called the single version, there's also an extended version as well with a longer outro
@ShoegazeNukeDeployed What I read is that the album version was almost the same as the demo they first made. Not sure about the other versions you talk about...
@Aglassact77 mmmhhh and he moves and look a lil bit as Ian mc Culloch ...Echo and the Bunnymen and the Psychedelic Furs were formed the same year ...1978...
I am not a singer or a song writer so I have not idea what it takes to write a song like this but all I know is that in today's music you cannot find lyrics and melodys like this anymore. When I hear today's music I feel very lucky to had the opportunity to enjoy bands like The Furs, Cure, Depeche Mode, Sundays, Joy Division, The Smiths and many others.
Better music, doesn't always mean that more people buy it! This song was released in 1991 or so, I'm sure there were plenty of really lame but catchy songs back then that charted higher. Always been like that, always will be............
The new of 2day dont understand the greatness & quality of music of the 80's & 90's. Music has devalued, it has gone cheap & meaningless like many things that get ruined through the years. Now is about sex, drugs & just sell whatever comes out as long as it has bootie shaking & cash falling from the sky & bling. Im so happy that I had the privilege of being a kid in the 80's & 90's so I could relish with songs like this 1 that so beautiful.
@Caprifemme I feel the same way 100%. What is sad is I did not cherish these times as much as I should of. Never thought music would go down hill like it did.
@cjd1958 Well i see what you mean but keep in mind that we grew up listening to this kind music and having sex symbols like Samantha Fox while nowadays teenagers are listening to whatever the radio stations give them and having sex symbols like Lindsay Lohan and Justin Bieber. I think we were lucky we lived the 80s and 90s but that s just my personal opinion.
just please tell me how did we go from this music to the mediocre one of 2 day?!! please some 1 tell me... how can u compare the melody, the lyrics, the artistry of this song 2 the vulgar and decadent 1s from nowadays... i need the 80's n 90's back, BADLY!!!!!!!!!!! This song is impeccable...
J A .....your life is complicated as is mine. " With your hands, I feel my skin...with your needs, I find I'm safe.....until you come again!".......and with your dreams...... I'm laid!!
Your friendship is so much more than physical....into a world most can never understand.....subspace, is so much more than just life.
I hope you feel the music deep in your soul as I do, you have opened my world and my life is better for your coming through my door.

putting those ugly black freaks before this song ruins the dreamy experience. do they want to force us to look at their ugly faces or are they that disconnected from reality to think we would buy some pig s**t music like that!
@The096757 there was good Hip Hop back then.Just listen to it.Do you know that most bands enjoy music from other genres?That is the kind of open mindedness and hence,well trained ear,that makes them great musicians to make the music we (you) like in the first place.
I can't be saved from my ways...until she comes...I love the sound of that.

Psy Furs have the last word in the post-punk-pop genre.
Its everything U2, Echo and The Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, The Fixx, et al sought to accomplish.
Personally, I thought they'd already achieved that in "The Ghost in You."
