    What some younger folks dont understand about the 80's is that it wasn't all glitz, glamour and excess...There was also a pervasive subconcious melancholy, in that we knew these times wouldnt last forever, because we were losing our "collective innocence" on many levels ...This song encapsulates that sentiment entirely, and instantly transports me back to those days... and I smile..

    Pet Shop Boys understood that exchanging their 80s synth and drum machine sounds with new sounds does not help the song in any way!! That they keep it as original as possible is a great gift for their listeners. Many other artists make a Techno or unplugged version out of their hits (see Madonna etc.) just because they don‘t want to hear the original anymore. For the price that it totally kills the soul and mood of the song.

    • @BENJ1969
      @BENJ1969 Před 3 lety +3

      I agree. But there's exceptions. Sometimes sticking to the original isn't necessarily a must. Your examples are good. But my best example is Swing Out Sister, who've built a strong cult following built on alternate, If I may, a more euro-sophisticated approach to their songs, and in doing so have made tremendously appealing versions that fit their long time fans as adults today. "Breakout" is a perfect example of what I mean.

  • @Olgaanti
    @Olgaanti Před rokem +8

    I was a small kid at the end of 1980s in Russia and synth pop mostly meant music from Eastern Germany, Italy and Sweden. British bands were something very chic and classy and more difficult to get a recording of. I still feel this mood of that time. It is a mezmerising combination of both joy, clubbing , dancing and some shade of melancholy.

    • @pa3997
      @pa3997 Před 4 lety +3

      Really a great duo, but I'm not sure if they are underrated: They sold 100 million records and are for critics among the most highly regarded pop groups since the 80s. Not many groups achieve this kind of critical/commercial success. However, it's still a crime that they never won a Grammy Award.

    Added lyrics:
    You can find a place, but no one knows
    When money talks and streets are gold
    Someone stands in every door,
    If they speed they break the law.
    Ask a question, blank faces,
    Read the news and turn the pages.
    Watch them play a different game...
    ...and no one knows your name.
    Love it when artists freshen up lyrics for live shows, gives them something new to sing other than repeating the same stuff with every performance.
    Far as I’m concerned, this is London’s urban anthem. 🕺🕺🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🚌🚇🚦💰
