Album : It's my life
Piste : 6
Année : 02.1984
One by one every courtesy is gone and the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence for the last time
Let the show begin for the last time
Sometimes one, sometimes each of us is wrong but the show begins
Bring on the clowns blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming for the last time
Smiling sweetly doubt may leave me for the last time
Let the show begin for the last time
Let the show begin
Let the show begin
***
Paroles : Mark HOLLIS
Musique : Mark HOLLIS - Ian CURNOW

Is it funny that I despise It's My Life yet love everything else by Talk Talk?
-
Back in 1983, they had to chose whether this song or Such a Shame to be released as a single. I doubt The Last Time would have had much success as Such a Shame, but It's still a great track.

Talk Talk is one of the most underrated bands of the 80s. They were more than the band that made "Its my Life", they had such creativity, heart and soul in their music and Mark Hollis is such a gifted songwriter. Talk Talk, along with Depeche Mode and New Order, are one of the best synth-pop bands ever.

@pathogensmusick Couldn't agree more. I'm a HUGE Simple Minds fan but I think you also have to include New Order as well.

"a5nkzsw8" - It's My Life's a tremendous album, but Colour of Spring's just in another league....

Such a sad song.... Gripes me to the heart every time. The album It's My Life is definitely one of the ten albums I'd take with me on a desert island, unless it would be Colour of Spring...

@luroby6471 Quoto al 100% :-))

Along with Simple Minds, Talk Talk made the best synth pop of the 80's. This album still haunts me, though not nearly as brooding as their later work. Colour of Spring is one of the best albums ever made.

This album is so freaking amazing, still after all of these years.

Who said synth-pop can't be soulful? Such an exquisitely simple & straightforward sounding, yet superbly indistinct, melancholic line: Let the show begin... for the last time...
And that pervading sense of yearning and dissatisfaction... one by one, every courtesy is gone... writing like that is beyond compare. This man truly is a genius in every sense of the word. To think this was only on their second album!
