Talk Talk - It's My Life (Live at Montreux 1986)

Live at Montreux 1986 is a concert video release by the British synth pop band Talk Talk of a concert at 1986 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The show was part of a tour that started in April 1986 to promote the band's recent album The Colour of Spring, and was to be their only appearance at Montreux, from their last tour.

For this tour, the usual trio of Mark Hollis (vocals), Paul Webb (bass), and Lee Harris (drums) was augmented by John Turnbull on guitar, two percussion players, and two keyboard players. As often, de facto fourth band member Tim Friese-Greene did not play on stage with the band.

:: It's My Life ::

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

This is a great video. I am 61 years old, and I have loved this song from the very first time I heard it. Talk Talk is surely one of the best bands of the 80s and is sadly under-rated. Mark Hollis and the arrangement of this song are sensational. What a band.

Excellent video. Mark Hollis possesses one most achingly beautiful voices in all of modern music. His hairstyle in this performance ('86) proves just how ahead of the times he was.

What would we do if we could not fall back on these vids for our 'fix' of greatness--TT's impact far less appreciated by the masses than it should be and, I just feel too many others face this plight due to human error and the music con game which promotes 'throw-away songs and short-sighted authors who couldn't hold a match to these brilliant performers' body of work.

Chills up my SPINE how many years later. I loved this song growing up. Talk Talk takes me right back there. I loved the 80's. They will live forever in my heart and my most cherished memories. I hope when I go to heaven it feels the way 80's music makes me feel.

@Capecotton..John's hairstyle was popular when this video was made but I also was a big fan of his. I first noticed him when he joined Paul Young In 1985 on stage fir the Band Aid Benefit concert.. I had no clue who he was then but he caught my attention and then was taken aback when I seen he was a guest guitarist for many years with Talk Talk..I think all of the musical artist in these preformances of Talk Talk are just brilliant..Does anyone know the name of the keyboardist in this video, th

@magickjac John Turnbull. An inspired choice for a Talk Talk guitarist. He's great. The mullet is a little antiquated, but his chops are timeless. He's one of the best parts of this band, I think.

@scootchefs ...and yet the man holding the acoustic guitar most certainly belonged in the 80s. He's probably still there...brb
