It's a shame, that everyone I know and care about feels this way. I love that the Pet Shop Boys have brought this to light, in which, it makes me feel as if maybe there's a bit of hope.
It will I have 5 years sobreity and life is what is is you can change the way you feel but try to change the world around you. Keep your head up theres many many like you out there. Work on yourself.
Queen died when Freddie Mercury died... they'll never be the same without him. Paul Rodgers is okay, but it's just not the same. Pet Shop Boys however, still amazing.
Sometimes I feel there is only one electronic pop group who always played really precious music during the past 25years and it is called Pet Shop Boys.Together with their mistakes they are an incomparable legend,no matters how many albums they will release and sell in the future!!!
What a beatiful and painfull song about love... video shows winter evacuation from blocked Leningrad. 300 000 people died there (08.09.1941 - 27.01.1944), my grandparents too
Yeah, very different. Neil Tennant's voice is actually able to carry the song. I think the style of the song suits the subject material though. I kept waiting for electronic bits, hehe :P
you are so right SuicideOnMyMind, i wanna be numb too, some time it realy helps. After kings cross this is my fav song of them. Im PSB fan since the PLEASE album.
Something about the lyrics and the music doesent seem to fit, the music feels (to me) very comforting and 'warm', shoulder to cry on kind of thing. But at the same time the lyrics make me shiver, I really dont want that (feel numb).
PSB certainly don't seem to want me to feel numb about them wanting to feel numb :)
At first listening, it's a shrill ballad and PSB have never scored high with slow songs. However, a subsequent listening brings forth sweeping, near epic sonic textures that dress Diane Warren's powerful lyrics in a post 9-11 meaning. It would have some potential as an American pop song but by now, American pop has gone straight to hell swamped in the worst kind of hip-hop and songs for the ADD crowd. And that's a crying shame.
sometimes the pain is so deep, that being numb only makes it worse, in that case all you can do is either run away or fight. and depending on what you choose, it's a choice of a new life or an old pain
sometimes the pain is so deep, that being numb only makes it worse, in that case all you can do is either run away or fight. and depending on what you choose, it's a choice of a new life or an old pain
Every time I listen to this song, I cry - which is probably a good thing since I've gone pretty - well - numb. Diagnosed with depression, on medication. But this song makes me experience feelings again - thanks PSB.
Pet shop boys are so smart that they already know that human will always suffer from stupidity such as: war, selfishness, lust for power, sickness, hunger. They knew it long time ago and they can other's pain, amazing people they are.
This reminds me of my final holiday with my ex of 6 years before she binned me in april 2007. Its how i was actually feeling, wanted to tell her but couldn't. Don't know why. Message to young couples - TALK TALK TALK!!!
this such a butiful song yeah i no psb didnt write it but its the way neil sings it he sings it with so much passion as if he was saying to someone about some 1 pushing him around and he is telling popple how he fells ,Neil has such a passionate voice am i right
As i see my last comment was very unsuccsessful.:) I still think that this is a very good (and underrated) song, but to make for it a video like this.... what a waste!
PSB truly outstanding time boundless talent...and here
about WWII battle of Stalingrad where more russian soldiers died than all allied fatalities suffered in WWII. in all other conflicts of the second world war... most people do not know that had it not been for the courage/strength of the soviet people against a well oiled Nazi war machine... the Germans may have won the second world war...had it not been for our good russian friends. To all veterans who fought bravely for freedom - respect!
This video about WWII. Shows Moscow, Leningrad..., Soviet soldiers and people, winter evacuation from blocked Leningrad. Thanx PSB, what don`t forget the history.
this song puts into words what it is like to really feel emotional pain, we will all need a song like this one day in our life. it lets you know that you are not the only one.
I was thinking of my mother when I stumbled upon this video...OMG, a symbolic hello from the other side. My parents immigrated to canada from that part of the world. Beautiful song. I've been numb since her death.
The only thing I cannot imagine is a world without my mother and I am a 24 years grown up boy. So my sincere condolonces to all those brave people, who lost their mothers and can still go on.
maybe "hate" is a strong word to use, but as a song is concern that stirs the soul to remember those who passed with great fondness, I think you missed the point of it.
who put this video on? i put it on more than once. i really hate you stole my idea at least 4 times
