Talk Talk - HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS ? - 1982

Album : The party's over
Piste : 6
Année : 07.1982

I'm picking up again
Well it got too much
After the accident
It could feel no worse
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier, it was a game
I guess the barrier
Must have dropped away

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

Did you see my photograph
It was on page 10
I swore to everyone
I'm not to blame
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier, it was a game
I'm so disposable
You can throw me away

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

What a fool I've been
Didn't get to him in time
What's been happening ?
It's so hard to sleep at night
It's so hard to sleep at night
To sleep at night

I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through

Underrated track...from an underrrated album...from an underrated band...

[cloudbuster66]

they got better with age ,pisses all over todays so called music, fact

[poolwaiter]

I love when people compare early Talk Talk to Duran2. Would Duran ever have written Hate or a song about the nightmare of seeing your friend die and not being able to help? Mark stayed true to his writing ethic all the way to the end. Amazing group and this was my favorite song on this album.

Nearly crashed my car listening to this track once, it's so hypnotically beautiful it sent me into a trance.

@cloudbuster66 you hit the nail on the head there dude.

[dlarios23]

i have two theories on the meaning of this song. one would be that someone died by accident and the guy is accused of murdering him. another is the guy was a drunk driver and this song is about his remorse, shame and disbelief because he ended up running someone over and killing them

@TheVaughan5

I think they'd just puke, because after having eaten so much "Junk food" over lo these many years they couldn't stomach it? You also make anther good point in that, "they don't have the brains to realize it"! That's key!

They've been so dumbed down that they "think" that Lady Gagme is music?? Go figure.

Cool comment.

@truthaintpretty

AGREE with you in totality! Stupid MORONS think they're being stylish, but they're to dumb to understand they just look like MORONS!

@cloudbuster66

FACT!!

[djmusicjac]

beautiful synth wave

[mrbodek1]

best group in new wave style

[TheVaughan5]

@codern Couldn't agree more, most of today's so called music isn't of course music at all. Talk Talk should be forced fed to today's kids, maybe they might wake up to the fact that most of what is being produced today is utter shit and they haven't got the brains to realise it!!
