@schiccina "Right trousers right, that's these things here, trousers. Tra! Tra-sers! That's trousers. I feel really weird standing here like this. I don't know who I feel like, but I know it ain't healthy!"
Living anothet world? music press and the other tubes obviuoly were. no way are TT so unknown, im glad they are not a household name, but give me break, they are Amazin.
Something amazing happens to the singer's face when he sings - the passion takes over, the concentration is focused like sunlight through a crystal, and I just don't want to look away. This is why musicians get... well, ahem, attention. In my estimation, anyway. I love this song...
I landed on this video to see if there was any mention of the PBS show "Color Sounds". Yes, this song and a bunch of other eclectic videos (Julian Lennon, Loudness, The Firm and Alphaville to name a few) were on the "poor man's MTV" for those of us that didn't have cable.
@Parkinish Hi...I actually look it up ages ago and "Dum Dum" not to confused with "dum-dum" is a rarely used phrase for a uneducated, lower class persons...maybe a "chav" but shy and unfortunate. "dum-dum" means some sort of artillary shell that didn't explode or is a dud, I guess.
@Annatizadell Actually, "dum dum" as it refers to artillery, is a bullet designed to expand on impact, thereby causing much more horrendous damage to the victim.
No decade like the 80s, before or since. There was a great spirit, great enthusiasm and fantastic music - and up there with the best was Mark Hollis. A visionary genius, he was way ahead of his time and a very intelligent bloke. I know he dropped out of the music scene to be a good dad, as he put it, but now his sons are in their early twenties, it's time to re-emerge and save us from the dross we have to suffer today!
This is must be one of the most underrated videos of all time. Years later, Bruce Springsteen with the help of Jonathan Demme would steal that concept for "Streets of Philadelphia".
People say the 80s were lame but they only know what MTV put out mostly. Yes this was on MTV but not enough airplay. "It's my life got it from what little I can remember". But Talk talks better stuff never made it on. At least in the later years. The music scene finally changed over in around 88.
strange video ??!very nice. boy ..very nice voice but too much time ago.-right??.where did they finish? song and sound are interesting original ..but I think If he could have done better of himeself..about also a major pubblic..more live concerts!we never saw him with a woman..is he marriage? he was very sensual songer
He once said in an interview he was married to a woman called Flick he'd met as a teenager. He wasn't your average 80s model-chasing pop star. The two kids are Fred and Charlie.
Oh really ? Interesting. Anyone knows more about her ? If he was not, i would be a willing candidate....there is something about him...drifting off now from the music....
That not so hard to be like that in his shoes. He is of the grid since what? 1991? He never made something new after that as far as i know. The omly made like 5 albums in total. Mark hollis always had that own sound in his vocals.
Really wonderful to see the production work on tape and how much physical and performance effort goes into promoting a song. Loved seeing Mark, even tho' he had to lip sync. Wish him well whereever he is - he and the guys made alot of people happy!
funny how someone who normally talks so "flat" (unclear English to non-native speakers) can sing so nice and quite understandable.
