Does anybody know who plays bass on this track? Any chance that its Mark Egan? Im just guessing on a whim here, seeing as he played bass on the album. Any takers?
This came out when I was in jr high. I taped it onto a cassette from off of the radio and have not heard it in forever. I had forgotten how damn awesome it is! Nick was (still is!) HOT!
This is an awesome song, but the video left me cold. The pieces of the movie and the Arcadia bits looked like they belonged to two different videos. There wasn't enough done to tie the two together and it just seemed clunky and distracting. The visuals of Simon and Nick were stunning, though. Maybe they should have just focused on them instead of trying to promote a movie.
Wow...I was in HS when Arcadia first came around. I was so into Duran Duran etc..I'd forgotten all about them. I just ordered the Arcadia Cd from Amazon. this is really taking me back, LOL.
Not their best work. To jsam93: Try A View To A Kill on high volume. If that does nothing for you then you are tone deaf :) That song is some of the best Duran Duran.
I think this is from a movie, I can't remember for the life of me the name of the movie but I remember it was with the brunette chick from "weird science" and not Kelly Lebrock but one of the teen girls. Ah, yes, playing for keeps! that's the name of the movie.

Looking back, Duran Duran / Arcadia had to the the best pop bands ever. So many great hooks, danceable, timeless.
I bought Playing for Keeps just to hear this song in the movie.
Hypnotic rhythms all the way!
Thanks for being apart of my youth!

I don't remember this song. I wore my copy of "So Red the Rose" out. This must have been a B-side. I can see why.

@pocketgoth This song was simply a song made for a soundtrack. It was made after So Red The Rose was completed.

Classic Duran bass and sinth string style, if you like this song you´ll enjoy the Flame and A view to a Kill.

I like both this and the Flame but I really dont see the hype over "A View to a Kill". I like Duran Duran but that song just does nothing for me

the band hated this track according to le bon who said it shouldnt ever have been released and was rushed. but I think it is great

I always loved this track. I used to include it on various homemade mixtapes back in 1986!
The video is terrible, and the production is dated. But the melody and lyric stay strong.
