In today's world when music is all about marketing not talent (like that bloody Bieber crap) its great to be able to go on the internet and find great music like this. This simply doesn't get old. Brilliant.
Man, these guys were great !!! Here in America where people lost taste in real music; I personally think that the British really lead the charge with the best and most historic push in music history..This music was great then and still great now !!! The music of today doesn't speak about anything and holds no weight.. Heck, even the music it's self elong with the fashions...SUCK !!!
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for uploading this. It's a rare gem and it's so great to be able to enjoy it again. I love the passion from Roland in this clip. Cheers Mate, greetings from Tasmania, Australia
Most underrated band of the 1980s. I'll admit I didn't like them at the time, but I was just a stupid kid, I guess I just didn't get it. Nowadays this is some of my favorite music.
@manthakev well it gives the song more potency when it has meaning behind it. Other wise whats the fucking point in writing a song that has no meaning. Shame on you!
This is about the tories I think. Maybe someone should set up a party to rally aganist the tories with this song. Cameron the puppet will be well pleased!
This is a great song...can't believe it didn't make it higher than 41 in the charts....In fact it's my favourite FYC song...Funny, when I was younger I thought "Blue" was like a metaphor for a bad relationship....I was way off....I was 12 at the time...
eh mate..you can mock but truth is truth..alot of the bands like led zeppelin are into the occult...google rik clay..he was taken out by the saturn worshiping whores
blue and red also symbolise control...cop blue lights,socialist dictatorships,traffic lights...go deeper into the occult and you'll see why solomons seal is red...the two main colours of saturn
Alot of the 80s songs were about thatche, although born in 92, i love 80s music and i think this is a prominent song, i think its not just bout the silly conservatives but maybe about like not wanting a lover in your life.
I DO NOT WANT A TORY GOVENRMENT NO PRIMEMINSITER CAMERON PLEASE!
Blue references the Tory Party of the 1980s who were telling the unemployed to 'get on your bike and look for work' while sending police in to beating the living crap out of anyone who actually had work and went on strike to protest being laid off
@GibbletsMcGinty Couldn"t agree with you more comrade , i was there , the 80"s , what a nightmare , it changed everything for the worse , and it can never come back , too many people grew up under Thatcherism , it was the the end of community .
The entire album has Thatcher fascist overtones, Move to Work, Blue, even Johnny Come Home. Not surprising when some of the UK's most innovative and profound songwriters are at the helm.
100% agree lots of generally good covers but BLUE was their best by a long way. As we enter these economic times its importance should reemerge. Avoid BLUE no matter how bad its gonna get!
I heard this song for the first time about 6 or 7 years ago, when I was Blue, Just love it..... And perhaps still my X
