What happened to this real music???????...Here in the states if you are not a gold teeth nigger that shouts about raping something or snorting or shooting something you can't get labels.............
@31531552 just the same as england !!! too many plastic fucking gangsters !! fucking mugs !! at least there are people about that respect real music !! big up to you my american friend you got taste !!!
@bristolcityifcation Thanks mate...I have loved British music since I first heard the AMAZING Who......never looked back.....Stone Roses,LA's,Ride,Chameleons,Smiths,New Order,Catherine Wheel, Wedding Present well you get point...so many more to name......I can't even listen to American music with a few exceptions.......Have you listened any to Robert Pollard. GBV..?..Blink is ok..Pumpkins, and you are soo right..our young people here are growing up on fucking trash nigger music and gagsta shit..
@31531552 Thats called the deliberate destruction of music and art. The filth that run record companies and media have been deliberately subverting music, thats why in Australia when they play the the music shows it's full of talentless blacks singing about shit like ho's,coke,cars,bling,guns and wank like that. It's a deliberate attack on culture by the evil self proclaimed "chosen ones" Time is here where the 99% are gonna eat the 1%
@SouthernCross33 You are dead on mate!..I am so sorry to hear it is the same way in your country as mine..our kids are being poisoned by these nigger whore pimps and i hate it...I so proud of the fact i taught my kids to appreciate The Who, The Furs and so many more great great bands that sing about REAL.let us 1% fight like bloody hell...over here in America now we can't sleep with our doors unlocked or even when we are home, cause of the animal niggers roaming..I have 9 guns in my home an2 car
@31531552 I'm sorry. If you started any sentence with 'are' or 'dead' or 'mate' you're fat. Undeniably, your fat or have diabetes. Go kill yourself, right? I will pat your sweaty balls down. Don't panic, fatty.
REMINDS ME OF BACK IN THE DAY !! MUSIC WAS PROPER THEN !! THANK GOD I SAW THIS VERY UNDERATED BAND MANY TIMES!! I LISTEN TO THIS AND REMEMBER GOOD TIMES FORGOTTEN AND FRIENDS GONE!! FOR ALL MY FRIENDS NOT HERE NOW THIS IS FOR YOU ROCK ON IN HEAVEN REMEMBER SEEING THE FURS AT GLASTO WHEN GLASTO WAS A PROPER FESTIVAL!! AND STONEHENGE FREE FESTIVALS BEFORE THATCHER FUCKING BANNED EVERYTHING !! THIS ONES FOR U MY FRIENDS I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU !!! YOU STAY IN MY HEART FOREVER NOW!!!!
I grew up in my teens playing drums to this album and Talk talk talk. Over and over and over....never ever thought I would get to see these guys live and then one day out of the blue, a radio dj freind of mine called and said they were playing that night. one of thee most incredible renditions of a band I have ever heard to this day. Thanks for comming to NZ. BEST band of the 80s bar NONE!!! My drum style is still littered with this style.
@ revol 148 Yes m8 it really was a good gig, lots of people turned up and they played a good mix of old and newer stuff. The break in the middle was a new thing for me but it did mean we got another round in at the bar.
@Kromaglathon I very nearly went to that gig! Was it full? I check on their official website and they always seem to be on tour in the U.S but rarely elsewhere - very annoying.Still hopefully they played this track and "ghost in you" - so money well spent I guess!
Haha, I just heard this on the radio yesterday. No joke--it was in the dining hall at my school. I think I was the only student in the room who knew the song, to be honest. :-)
It's a shame that really, their only "chart-topping" hit here in the States was the sissified version of "Pretty In Pink" from the movie. They have sooooo many better songs.
@robobob990 Not every band, but a good majority of the mainstream ones. Unfortunately, today you have to really *look* for the good stuff, because you won't find it on the Top 40 station. Some great bands today (off the top of my head): Dave Matthews Band, The Killers (one of my favorites), Bell X1, Bloc Party, MGMT... Muse is pretty good, too.
A bit of a patchy lp for me, much prefer the 1st two lp's & Book of Days. But this is a stand out song - one of their best. The guitar lines at the end are to die for.
Yea, this was my fave still is. Saw them perform it the other night and Jesus, Richard still has it! Ended with this-- appreciatingly staring out at the audience and singing "Let it stay forever now" a poignant end to a great show.
The other day a closeted bisexual man and I were drinking. After we drank a while I got crying about another man that I fell in love with. All of a sudden he holds me tightly in his arms and tells me repeatedly that he loves me. It was a flat out embrace. I cried in his arms and thought "Let it stay forever now". It's been 20 years since he had any gay sex and this hug was not just sexual but rather romantic and nourishing. An embrace that is rare to find. I wanted to to stay "forever now".
When I first heard this song it reminded me of my parents divorce in all it's messyness. Also my fathers suicide. He used to hold me up so high in his life, he also used to lift me up to touch the sky. When he died it felt like I was forever falling. At the end of this song when Richard sings "Forever now.. Forever now". Reminds me of the falling feeling I get being dropped from grace. Forever wishing my father was still holding me up so high. Wishing it was forever now and yet Im falling.
This song was presented to me at a college radio station in a small southern town in the winter of '83 by a guy named Stephen King (no relation to the one in Maine). I had never heard anything like it. It was on vinyl and I drowned in that beautifully rich, textured sound. Thanks for sharing this, FallingDown.
Someone should make a video for this song with clips from Jeremy Irons in Die Hard 3. When he sings "we don't count our money, we're giving it away" you should show the part where they steal all the money from the vault.
I agreed. Too many bad reviews for a fabulous group. It didn't fit in with the stereotypical cliche' of what Americans thought was "deep" sounding. So all too many critics called it shallow. But I personally believe a lot of these same critics felt extremely threatened by this sort of music. It was an intelectual blend of both being "happy" and "sad" all at the same time. The lyrics interestingly delicious and both deep and wonderstruck. A fantastic band.
My Grandfather was hired to erect a statue in a local cemetery, he chose an angel, but I can't figure out if the angel is rising up or falling from the heavens. At the end of this song when Richard Butler sings "Let it stay forever now" it makes me think of him falling from something he loves. I also think of the angel statue and the perspective of it falling. I often have reflected on something very special I had once lost, I've been falling ever since...
produced by the amazing Todd Rundgren folks..
