Hey anybody ever hear ''Love's here'' by King Britt on his album 'Adventures in Lo-Fi' (track 21).Sounds like a major tribute to this song, but I can't find any confirmation on this anywhere. Just wondering. Signed: Hollands biggest Talk Talk fan.
Happiness is easy Jesus came to Galilee Happiness is easy sailing on the sea Happiness is easy Jesus came to save our souls Happiness is easy and be a friend to me
im my humble opinion.this is one of the best albums of all time..thanks talk talk this album toally captured my imagination and i cen remember exactly where i was when i first heard it,,it blew me away..
its like there are two sounds playing at different speeds but together the first a mellow classical and guitar strumming sound the second a faster poppy drum and somehow together magic happens
Bizarre groep, begonnen als synth-pop groepje van niemandal, en dan: album na album steeds beter geworden. Met als absolute hoogtepunten de laatste twee platen: Spirit of Eden en Laughing Stock. En dan, op hun hoogtepunt, zijn ze gestopt, om te janken!!! TT, my all time favorite!!
When I was in the german army in 1988. We had a trainee with our tanks over night. We were hungry, frozen an tired. Our commander let his little radio play through the inner communication system of the tank. They played this song. All the bad feelings went away an I felt a kind of happyness growing inside of me. What a magic moment I´ll never forget. Years later I became a beliver and now I know what this song is about. But the song "worked" even when I did not understand .... Thank You LORD!!
I can never grow cold on this song. To me it sounds as pure today as when it was first released. Mark Hollis, a true genius. I am not in the least surprised he gave it all up...how can you possibly continue to produce music of this quality..nobody could.
Love the chorus of kids. Always loved the bass player in this band and the way the drummer used to bounce on his stool while he played-oh ..and Hollis's vocals aren't bad either :P
Remember myself as a boy of 14 going to the library getting The Colour of Spring just for that one track, Life's what you make it, unaware about what was coming...Man, what a shivering sensation i got and still get listening to those first percussion seconds of the album, the instrumentation, the athmospheric sound overwhelming completely my musical horizon...Music was never the same anymore, since then. Talk Talk stands on the lonely summit of Music...
all emotions are beautiful and perfect when in their element and time..but happiness is one of my favorite..and i suppose LoVe is a perfect explaination of each and all emotion and something else as well...like a little ship in a big sea...
Mark Hollis was so very impressive on stage. Saw Talk Talk live in 1984 - @ Rockpalast in Essen, Germany. Still have the tape of the TV broadcast and pray to God it'll never ever fall apart. His music has been an inspiration ever since. Thank you Mark. Thank you forever.

This is my all time favourite classic Talk Talk track I adore for so many years. The sound transparency and the timing is wonderful. Mark Hollis is a real great vocalist and his voice completes very much with this children choir.
I love this song forever - greetings from slideede
I lost my best friend in 88 and we had to choose a song for the contemplation at the funeral. This lost out to Wealth from Spirit of Eden. Though on reflection I think this the much greater song and I think we were worried that what people would make of it and went for the easier option. Still as beautiful as ever.
I remember getting this album and being blown away. It seemed like such a monumental advance for them- they took the music to such a unique, beautiful place. The only other time I can recall getting an album and having a similar experience is when the Beastie Boys came out with Paul's Boutique. Completely different to Talk Talk of course, but so amazing compared to their previous album. Anyway, this album is just incredible and still holds up.
@SLeNdaLiLLa Must respectfully disagree. Their innocence stands as essential counterpoint to the "jadedness" of the main vocal. The track would be something altogether different without it and worse for it, IMHO.
a bit like massive attack "unfinished sympathy"... I used to listen to "the colour of spring" for hours back in the day.... hmmm it makes me wonder why i stopped... so brilliant !!!!
This track is totally mesmerising and builds and builds until the break in the middle which is just beautiful and which leaves you wanting more. A great loss that they are no longer recording. I will put off getting the Mark Hollis solo album no longer! It is staggering that so few younger people these days have ever heard of them.
Got every album they have ever done but havent listened for a long, long time, now playing again and all of the albums just sends shivers down your spine, one of the most unrewarded bands ever, brings back some fantastic memories, thanks for posting this,
Mark Hollis did a amazing album that was self titled in the 90s or early 2000's. It never really seem to get a proper release apparently due to some label nonsense. Such a shame pardon the pun that he doesn't make more albums as he just seemed to be getting better and better. Not to disregard his 80s pop stuff as that was great, but on the last couple of Talk Talk albums and his solo album he was really on another level. I heard that he had enough of the music industry, Did he officially retire?
Take good care of what the priests say 'After death it's so much fun' Little sheep don't let your feet stray Happiness is easy Little ships of Galilee Standing on the sea Jesus tried to love us all Be a friend to me Joy be written upon the earth And the sky above Jesus star that shines so bright Gather us in love
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts It's easy to shoulder the blame Happiness is easy Little ships of Galilee Happiness is easy Standing on the sea Happiness is easy Jesus tried to love us all Happiness is easy Be a friend to me Happiness is easy Try to teach my children To recognise excuse before it acts >From love and conviction to pray
(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene) Makes you feel much older Sublime the blind parade It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war They assemble, they pray Take good care of what the priests say 'After death it's so much fun' Little sheep don't let your feet stray Happiness is easy Joy be written upon the earth And the sky above Jesus star that shines so bright Gather us in love Guilt upon their shoulders How well the cause evades
its no wonder he retired,he was so far ahead of the field but probably felt disilusioned and hurt at lack of sales, wish he could feel the love and respect he has now though
This is, without doubt, the best Talk Talk song and one of the most beautiful songs in pop ever. Strong lyrics, strong playing--and the trumpet solo is excellent. Paul Webb also is very inspired on bass. It all adds up to a magnificent whole.
Keep trying to find a weak spot anywhere in this song , wasting my time as perfect a song as you're likely to here , even after all these years still sends a shiver down my spine , all hail Talk Talk.
I love the relaxed drums (wish I could play this Intro) & the bass, also the children's voices....guitar, keyboard & grand piano create a magical sound.
The lead vocals make me cry....little sheep don't let your feet stray....sigh!
@TheSchievelavabo Totally agree. In every album there's that particular song that you don't really like and that you skip. In this album such a song simply doesn't exist. You listen to it from start to end and never skip anything. Not a single note.
I think there's been no group like Talk Talk... no one except KING CRIMSON in the 70's (the first 4 albums with Pete Sinfield, particularly).
I mean, not only for the use of mellotron or the complexity of their songs. experimentations, superb melodic lines, fine lyrics and poetry, unusual way to play instruments. progressive and jazzy sounds&rythms.
@TheSchievelavabo Not heard this track for a long time. I'd forgotten how good they were. Never really liked Pink Floyd much but loved Talk Talk. Beautiful track .
Another brilliant Talk Talk track.The Colour of Spring was and still is such a brilliant album.There may only be 8 tracks on it but for me tracks 1 to 6 on it were top quality.
This track takes me back to the eighties when life was less complicated. Happiness was a lot easier then. What a track. what an album. Life's what you make it'...never a truer word written.
peut-être la plus belle chanson de Talk Talk...je me souviens que c'était sorti au début de mon adolescence et les spécialistes classaient le groupe entre la pop et la new-wave...ils étaient un peu perdu sans doute parce que ce groupe "anti-look" ne se situe pas dans un style particulier...à la fin de mon adolescence la new-wave était un peu oubliée et on a dit du groupe qu'il était réellement inclassable...ce qui me parait plus légitime...
Peut-être la plus belle oui, le mellotron et les coeurs d'enfants lui donne quelque chose de facinant, une sorte d'étrange beauté. Il y en a une autre qui sort aussi du lot c'est "I believe in you", elle est superbe.
Once again.A beautiful song.Truly.

Another brilliant Talk Talk track.The Colour of Spring was and still is such a brilliant album.There may only be 8 tracks on it but for me tracks 1 to 6 on it were top quality.

This track takes me back to the eighties when life was less complicated. Happiness was a lot easier then. What a track. what an album. Life's what you make it'...never a truer word written.

peut-être la plus belle chanson de Talk Talk...je me souviens que c'était sorti au début de mon adolescence et les spécialistes classaient le groupe entre la pop et la new-wave...ils étaient un peu perdu sans doute parce que ce groupe "anti-look" ne se situe pas dans un style particulier...à la fin de mon adolescence la new-wave était un peu oubliée et on a dit du groupe qu'il était réellement inclassable...ce qui me parait plus légitime...

Peut-être la plus belle oui, le mellotron et les coeurs d'enfants lui donne quelque chose de facinant, une sorte d'étrange beauté. Il y en a une autre qui sort aussi du lot c'est "I believe in you", elle est superbe.
