This is not just a legendary song. This is a defining moment in our lives. This is the friends and the lovers we lost. This is the dreams we had. This is the youth that slipped our hands. This is the Pet Shop Boys and we are very lucky to have them in our life.
"All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing".. I was in my 20's when this masterpiece was released having fun and being surrounded by people I loved, I am 53 now and I am listening to it on a Sunday morning, with tears in my eyes for all my losses.. Parents, friends, lovers.. Some are here but most are missing..
You never know the beauty of your youth....until it is gone. I was born in 1970...grew up in 80s...raved in the 90s.....and here i still am in 2020 I was of a generation that was never being bored. Update. Still here in 2024!
Good comment. Well, buddy, I’m 68. I did Northern Soul and Tamla on my Lambretta SX200 in the 70’s, jazz funk in the ‘80’s, went to Cream and Gatecrasher for trance in the ‘90’s. I have tickets for James Zabeila in Liverpool this November. It could just be that you are never too old to party 😉
Tengo 54 años y he vivido de todo. Muchas perdidas y aquí sigo. Mi juventud cerraba las discitecas bailando. Salia de casa el viernes y volvía el domingo por la mañana. Disfruté muchísimo de las discotecas. Nunca entendí que para bailar había gente que se drogaba. Me gustaron los 80 con todas sus complejidades. Disfrute de mi juventud como ahora disfruto de mis 50. La vida no es fácil, nada fácil. Ahi que vivirla y disfrutarla. De las personas y el día a día. Soy positiva aunque tengo una vida con problemas que me han generado otros. Pero ahí estamos para seguir disfrutando de lo equivale vivir. El camino no es fácil. Ánimo y con los pet schop boys la vida se hace más amena. Un abrazo 🇨🇱🇪🇸♥️❤️
❤YOU never know the innocence, strength & beauty of your youth until it's gone. I was born in Costa Rica in the 70's. Grew up in Queens New York from 1978 though the 80's. Danced and Raved my ass off in the 90's. Blessed enough to have Performed and Dance, in Thee must Legendary Club's in America and New York City Club Land. wild meeting some awesome wonderful fabulous friends. So many where lost to Drugs, Aids, Drinking, D.r.u.g.s, car accidents DWI. some are here and some are still missing. Thank you heavenly Father for your guidance, courage, strength and love. All that Behavior scared the shit out of me & it kept me on my Toes. I always had a JOB whether it was Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. And here I still am in 2024 & It's Valentines day. I'm from a generation that was NBB Never Being Boring. Thank you Pet Shop Boys for your MASTERPIECES & amazing inspiration. ⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤
I always worked all my life. I live in Los Angeles and so many friends fell into the gangs. I have 2 locked up in Prison for life. One was so close to me and my family. My father even wrote a letter to the judge explaining what a great kid Ricky was. he was a great student and athlete. He was my best friend in High School and later in life joined a gang and was caught doing a drive by shooting, now locked up for life. I have always believed in God, and he showed me the right way to live. I also had a strict father who raised me up Military style. He is a Korean War Veteran and always told me stay educated and the results will be awesome as you get older. He was correct. But I have so many friends now who are either homeless or on drugs or in gangs. The one who is homeless was a great athlete and he was the quarterback in our high school. I also have 2 friends who are girls, they both overdose on drugs and died. Such a Tragedy! I am starting to tear up. May God Bless All Of You. No Colors denied here!! We are one. Amen! Amen! Amen!
Everytime, I hear this beautiful Track it reminds me of the friends I used to party with back in the day. In 2024 some are no longer on this earth. But I know they are listening in HEAVEN and still dancing. Circus Disco, a club in Hollywood where we used to go. I worked in a clothing store at the time in Downtown Los Angeles and my co-workers and I would hit the Hollywood scene after work. Now I am 67 years old and retired from an Auto & Home Insurance co. after 22 years. 80's best decade ever. Great Memories! MISS YOU ALL!!!
I lost my best friend Billy today. He turned me onto the PSB early on. He was a huge Pet Head I listen to this and memories flood my mind. RIP my friend.
Sorry for your loss. My best friend and i have been big fans of the PSB for along time. a long time. it sounds like your bestie Billy introduced you to great music. Don't just listen. Feel the music. Peace. ☮️
"Cry," perhaps, but still, in my opinion, a-this song that can make one actually THINK (not only about themselves, but also about others) is probably the more apropos term here, in a word, in a gist, and for any, and all, others who still like ingenious music that's still played, mixed, here with a whit of, say, controversy, strange parties and get togethers amongst rich people engaging in...stuff, their own proclivities, likes, dislikes.........good times, bad times, reflective times, musings...........
It just occurred to me that what Sinatra's "when I was 17" was to my parents generation, this song is to my generation , X. Words cannot begin to describe how good those days were for me. I bought this album when it came out.And i'm so happy that it Recorded in me the beauty of those days, and no one can take away the memories.Thank you pet shop boys so much.
*I am 53. I was 23... when **_Being Boring_** came out.* 30 years. WHERE did the time go?? ⏲ This song has so much meaning to me and many many others who found inspiration from Pet Shop Boys. _Never Boring._
This song reminds me of the 80s and early days of the 90s. Can't complain. Those years were the best. I missed my high school years. No cellphones no INTERNET. Just enjoying life with my friends.👍👍
My favourite PSB song by far, melancholy, nostalgia, dreamy, sadness, reflective.. it embodies all these feelings in the lyrics and the music. I love that atmospheric keyboard sound in the verses, just fits the words so beautifully.
One of the most beautiful songs ever made. The vid is a journey through life. I've lost someone too, I know how time works with grief. This is a classic.
I'm hearing this for the first time at 39 and the tears are so cleansing. I knew the quotation was about Zelda just from "a wife of a writer in the 1920s". . . . "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I thought this song was going to be about boring people heeheee, what delightful turns of phrase this song takes, and what a beautiful video by Bruce Weber.
this song always makes me confused between crying, shivering, smiling, a bit yearningly, feeling nostalgic, feeling refreshed, ... uuuuh this song fulfills me. They are genious, the boys from the petshop next door
Мне 47 Pet Shop Boys радует до сих пор. Здоровья вам парни и пойте дальше всем нам вашим поклонникам на радость. Такие воспоминания под вашу музыку, когда все ещё было хорошо в те далёкие и безвозвратные 1990-ые годы.
In my opinion the best PSB track by a mile. It has a beautiful melody and powerful lyrics. While it wasn’t their biggest hit, it is one that sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago. I love it.
I was 14 when the album "Behaviour" came out. Now I'm 38, it's 2015 and I'm still listening to this song. And it brings me back sweet, sweet memories. "All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing" - Try to not shed a tear on that sentence, if you can!
+Thomas Samoht , it's one of my favorite of all time. I am 10 years older than you. It's the only song Ilike from this band. It's a great song in every way.
Belinha Fernandes My brother had "Actually", "Introspective" and "Disco", and a frien of mine lent me "Behavior" back then. Loved all of their albums, from first to last song...
+Thomas Samoht Bingo. I am 36 now and Being Boring was on the video tape with MTV videos, my first encounter with the notion of 'music video' somewhere around 1993... I can't find words to describe the depth to which this piece goes in my heart. Writing this right now and weeping. We will be missing, but the music will last.
I'm 18 and I absolutely love every single one of their songs. This is probably my favorite song of all times, the dreamy feelings it carries through those chords, the gorgeous lyrics, the synth pads, the bass line, the drums, the video, the soft Neil's voice, are a class of their own, that's so perfect. It makes me think of being young, in the past, in the flux of time, makes me want to make a video in VHS of myself these days. Although there is a bit of sadness (as he goes "now I sit in different places, in rented rooms and foreign places"), especially seeing them so young (particularly Chris), thinking they're in their 60s now; it's something that makes me cry. Sometimes when I listen to "Behaviour" it feels painful to see them "old" nowadays, in contrast with then. In spite of this I'll enjoy them as long as possible...it's difficult to describe in words how much I love this song (and the PSB)
By God, we really were never being boring. We couldn't be, could we? We all knew back then we were experiencing something special. I am so grateful to have been a part of it, so humbled to have shared the experience with you, my cohorts, and for The Pet Shop Boys who so beautifully captured it all in song. Love, indeed, comes quickly, whatever you do, I'll never stop falling, for you, for you.
Lyrics: I came across a cache of old photos And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteen-twenties When you're young you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said "we were never feeling bored" 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "if you're not careful You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies" But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In the nineteen-nineties I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend And we were never being boring We were never being bored 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored
This has always been my favourite song by The Pet Shop Boys. It simply says it ALL ... people who say they are "bored" should listen to this - REALLY LISTEN !!
You're young, Pet Shop Boys were huge in the 1980s, it was a brilliant decade to be alive in, music 🎶 was astonishing, so many good bands and artists.... Today music is obsolete in comparison... Look into the 80s music, you'll love it. 👍
You know, lots of people say that the music of one decade or another had the "Best music". But this incredible song is from my 40's, every decade has its share of brilliant music, This is a perfect example of that. I love the music from the year that I got my first transistor radio on my 10th birthday in 1960. Every year before and after has great music. I still listen to new music and find new bands to love even now, in my 70s. I still like to revisit perfection like "Being Boring" every few weeks for a few hours. It makes me remember these decades, music can bring back the scent, time of year, the place you were, people you were with, and the feelings you experienced. Music is a time machine...
This song is magnificent. The dreamy melodies are as nostalgic and soft as a faded polaroid. But the lyrics stab you where it hurts, because time doesn't stop. If we're lucky, we'll all have that chance to reminisce on our past and think about the end. So bittersweet. I'm always left dumbfounded by the PSB and how deep they can be with pop, a seemingly simple thing. Love them.
The day I leave this planet I will be SO PROUD to have been a teenager in the 80s and to get in adulthood in the 90s. The kids of today don't know how amazing it was, no cellphones, no internet, no social media, and those were still the happiest days of our lives.
I don't get these statements. We've never had so much, and society has come so far since then. My life in the 80's and 90's wasn't that great, so I guess I look back and just see how hateful and narrow minded the world was, and how much effort I had to go through to find art and beauty and good music.
I've managed to survive to my 50's. I think of all my young friends who didn't. This song makes me yearn for the days when I shared their laughter. I will cherish those days forever! Hold on to your friends and let them know how much they mean!!
To jest najlepsza piosenka Pet Shop Boys, która najlepiej oddaj atmosferę tamtych czasów, początków lat 90-tych. Co to były za czasy! Giełda płyt we Wrocławiu, w Pałacyku, nasze dyskoteki, nasza banda cała, gdzie siedzieliśmy po dyskotekach, które organizowaliśmy do rana, inni byli ludzie, którzy nie zapisywali na kartce tego ile kto od kogoś pożyczył pieniędzy na cokolwiek, ludzie byli bardziej otwarci, bezpośredni. Tak było!
Как то даже жаль современную молодёжь, которая не может оценить этот, да и многие другие шедевры Pet Shop Boys. Разве что кто то случайно наткнется и откроет для себя. Тут все прекрасно, и музыка, и текст, и эстетика. Которой Pet Shop Boys нету равных.
@@user-zn7nk6hs7j I dont answer you by Russian in 1945 years you anexed us (Poland) to covert to Soviet Puppet State you took of us 2/3 lands after Teheran Conference . But POLAND WANT TO BE FREE and we waited 78 Years to be from you
I'm just going through a severe stage of depression and it seems like my life is faded to failure, I'm 21 years old and just feel like nothing will work out. This song somehow brings me a little hope. I hope I can survive this because deep inside I really want to live. To have a good life and inspire other people. But right now everything seems so distance. I still haven't got anywhere that I want. I hope to find strength enough to keep fighting for myself.
You can get through this, you said you hope to inspire others, im 42 now suffer with depression and anxiety and your inspiring me. You know and got this at 21. You've got a lot to give this world that I'm sure of. Stay strong Marina 👊 You've got this today 🙂
Girl, you're early 20s can be a confusing time. Hang in there..I promise it will get better. You will find yourself as time goes on and things will fall into place ❤️❤️
Marina Batista beautiful girl... 'Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long,... and in the end, it's only with yourself'... Listen to Baz Lurman "Everybody's Free (to wear Sunscreen)" Whenever I feel lost, down, bewildered, or behind, I always listen to that song/poem to cheer me up. Your young beautiful and fabulous. Don't sweat the small stuff.
youre still very young,youll be looking back fondly in your thirties,just keep head up and get things done...youre stronger than you realise at the moment
I was 14 when this song came out and could instantly feel it was masterpiece, the song, the lyrics, the video. Now I'm 45 and I feel everything else, the longing, the loss, the passage of time...
This track is a masterpiece in lyric writing, music formation and subject matter, I'm so glad I lived an excessive life during the 80's and 90s what memories, experiences, it was never boring.
My goodness. My dad use to play his old tapes in the car when I was young and I remember having listened to so many songs by the pet shop boys. To come back and listen to this after so long feels so incredibly nostalgic and beautiful. This is real music.
This is Pet Shop Boys’ greatest track, a song even Tennant calls “our moment of pop perfection … our Shangri-La” !Axl Rose from Guns N’ Roses came backstage, and says, ‘But why didn’t you play ‘Boring’, man? I just love that song!’”
It is a beautifully sad song, I remember I had just turned 20 when this song came out and I could not identify with the message because I was never being boring, I just thought the song was about not being boring and having fun. Now in my 40s, it is so bittersweet to listen to this song because I have lost a couple of very dear friends over the years, one a little over a year ago and another some years after this song came out. Plus all those friends you just lose touch with and never imagine you would stop seeing them. I just think in those times and how inmortal we felt, I wish my missing friends were here with me being boring.
That's life Vince... I have the same impression as you... time passes and then we realize our head is totally different from when we were in our 20s... This song is in someway a little depressive too when we think about the good old days that will never come back... that's life.
I once read this was the best track the Pet Shop Boys ever made. "No way" I thought, "nothing beats you were always on my mind from discography". But over the years this has grown on me, and you know, I think they were right. Best song they ever did.
@@chrisChris6969 Rest assured yes I do! I should probably have said "Always On My Mind/In My House" the Pet Shop Boys Remix of the Elvis classic - which shouldn't really work, but does!
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songs ever! Nice melody, good and deep message, Neil's outstanding and peaceful voice... Also a great video: youth, beautiful people and a very positive flair. I was just a kid when it was released and just came across it like 10 years ago, but it got me immediately! Now, some years after having it among my favourite ones, I find myself with 32 "sitting with different faces in rented rooms and foreign places", struggling not to being boring and to keep the ones I was kissing around me... Plus, recently a good friend has been diagnosed as HIV-positive, I guess it's now somehow part of my own biography! Thanks, Neil and Chris, for this sublime masterpiece!
A most beautiful requiem for friends..... we were all out for a good time, & some of us died of AIDS...... The video is a bittersweet longing for a carefree time that would never come again.....💔
The nostalgia is rushing in from all different directions within my head! Love the message in this song. A timeless classic. All the memories are being encapsulated in the 'golden' decades of our lives
Tenho 18 anos e sou completamente apaixonada por músicas e bandas como essa. Só lamento por jovens da minha idade que não gostam, não sabem oq estão perdendo. Isso sim é música de verdade!!!

This is a defining moment in our lives. This is the friends and the lovers we lost. This is the dreams we had. This is the youth that slipped our hands. This is the Pet Shop Boys and we are very lucky to have them in our life.

I totally agree , life is this Song
pure art

Hi. That was beautiful
The startling thing is that there are only 24 years between 'my 20s' and '53'. It does go fast.
@@nickhare9528 I'm 24 now and I hope I get to 50s
Exactly like me...life is so nice!
@@nickhare9528 It's 30 years more or less, but still it does go fast!
Probably, Pet Shop Boys' greatest masterpiece, a sublime work of art.
hard to choose between Being boring and Can you forgive her
...on every level...chic....sensual...fun....sexy....funky....strange...bizarre...hip....and very melancholy....
You read my mind. "You can look back, but you can't go back."
Agreed. This is my absolute fav
This song is actually Pet Shop Boys's favorite song too saying this in an MTV interview few years back.
This is a sad happy song. Thank you Pet Shop Boys for this masterpiece!
You never know the beauty of your youth....until it is gone.
I was born in 1970...grew up in 80s...raved in the 90s.....and here i still am in 2020
I was of a generation that was never being bored.
Update. Still here in 2024!
Born in 1970 as well.We are so lucky to have born when we were
Good comment. Well, buddy, I’m 68. I did Northern Soul and Tamla on my Lambretta SX200 in the 70’s, jazz funk in the ‘80’s, went to Cream and Gatecrasher for trance in the ‘90’s.
I have tickets for James Zabeila in Liverpool this November.
It could just be that you are never too old to party 😉
ps I was never, or have ever have been, bored 😎
You get it... watch any of their stuff, you can recapture a little bit of your youth...
Same here. 1974.
I’m 50 now, and this song is the perfect nostalgic nod to my youth. Thank you for giving us this memory so many years ago ❤
Wish I would have really listened to the words of the song.....all came true
Can you for give her...... same thing... Damn!!!!!
🤗🤗🤗🤗
I turn 50 in 4 days..... my husband died 3 years ago and yeah it reminds me of yesteryears
I just turned 50! Love this song, so many good memories.

This is for me the masterpiece of The Pet Shop Boys. They’ve had so many great songs but this for me edges it. Lyrically it’s excellent.
Ya,if you like songs that were written while receiving a pulumpkin then leaving a duce.
Definitely
Can you forgive her is one of the best..... been cheated on far too many times
I agree. This is one of their bests.
My favorite was Domino's dancing
No, we were never being boring in the 80s. Best time ever!
“When a song makes you cry you know is a masterpiece.”
and today it's 30 years old. Wowsers stevepafford.com/beingboring30/

What a PHENOMENAL song. One of Pet Shops Boys's best! Both musically and lyrically!

yes, Bruce Weber. Fashion photographer. This was his first video, and it is startling and sublime.
You are soo right!

Super
"But I thought in spite of dreams, you'd be sitting somewhere here with me"
So bitter sweet!

30 years. WHERE did the time go?? ⏲ This song has
so much meaning to me and many many others who

1st and last gay relationship. it was fun and confusing. i was 26.
Time flies huh. I haven't heard this for a long time.
The song of my life!!!!
Oh doll, I know. I was 18..I later sent my best friend off to this song 20 years later.
So many memories. And some no longer here.
This song reminds me of the 80s and early days of the 90s. Can't complain. Those years were the best. I missed my high school years. No cellphones no INTERNET. Just enjoying life with my friends.👍👍
👌👌So true
Agreed
and never being boring
Cell phones and especially the internet has made us more apart from each other, instead of getting us closer
Jee yes.....
My favourite PSB song by far, melancholy, nostalgia, dreamy, sadness, reflective.. it embodies all these feelings in the lyrics and the music. I love that atmospheric keyboard sound in the verses, just fits the words so beautifully.
That song brings good high school memories.
By far
Very true
Indeed, very well said 👏
One of the most beautiful songs ever made. The vid is a journey through life. I've lost someone too, I know how time works with grief. This is a classic.
When I watch this music video, I get a strong sense of nostalgia. And tears fall from my eyes
I'm hearing this for the first time at 39 and the tears are so cleansing. I knew the quotation was about Zelda just from "a wife of a writer in the 1920s". . . . "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I thought this song was going to be about boring people heeheee, what delightful turns of phrase this song takes, and what a beautiful video by Bruce Weber.
a mi me produce una terrible angustía
Bruce Weber did an amazing job on this. The guy responsible for the 90s black and white Calvin Klein esthetic.
this song always makes me confused between crying, shivering, smiling, a bit yearningly, feeling nostalgic, feeling refreshed, ... uuuuh this song fulfills me. They are genious, the boys from the petshop next door
🌈❣️🌻
actually that was their masterplan, and they fullfilled.
@@PatagonianWarrior me too
You just made me forget how to spell genius for a second
@@poperaymond431 funny, I thought only we Germans are smart alecks 😉
Мне 47 Pet Shop Boys радует до сих пор. Здоровья вам парни и пойте дальше всем нам вашим поклонникам на радость. Такие воспоминания под вашу музыку, когда все ещё было хорошо в те далёкие и безвозвратные 1990-ые годы.

Я тоже люблю эту компанию почти 38 лет назад!!!
In my opinion the best PSB track by a mile. It has a beautiful melody and powerful lyrics. While it wasn’t their biggest hit, it is one that sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago. I love it.
I was 14 when the album "Behaviour" came out. Now I'm 38, it's 2015 and I'm still listening to this song. And it brings me back sweet, sweet memories.
"All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing" - Try to not shed a tear on that sentence, if you can!
+Thomas Samoht Always thought the lyrics on this song were almost poetical
+Thomas Samoht , it's one of my favorite of all time. I am 10 years older than you. It's the only song Ilike from this band. It's a great song in every way.
Belinha Fernandes My brother had "Actually", "Introspective" and "Disco", and a frien of mine lent me "Behavior" back then. Loved all of their albums, from first to last song...
+Thomas Samoht Bingo. I am 36 now and Being Boring was on the video tape with MTV videos, my first encounter with the notion of 'music video' somewhere around 1993... I can't find words to describe the depth to which this piece goes in my heart. Writing this right now and weeping. We will be missing, but the music will last.
+Thomas Samoht I'm the same age as you and still put behaviour in my top 10 albums list. It is pure class all the way through
Never more I saw so many beauty in a single video. What sucks in being old? The reminds of when we were young
Probably the best music video ever, kudos to all
Those who took part in this masterpiece…. Those years really we were never bored
The best Pet Shop Boys song. Amo tudo da dupla, mas esta é simplesmente fantástica!
this is an absolute beast of an ode to life, youth, love and beauty. love love love.
One of the best songs ever.
Прекрасная песня моей юности. Такая ностальгия и светлая грусть...
Never being bored of this song. Neil Tennant is one of the best songwriters. His poetry is like fine piece of literature
I'm 18 and I absolutely love every single one of their songs. This is probably my favorite song of all times, the dreamy feelings it carries through those chords, the gorgeous lyrics, the synth pads, the bass line, the drums, the video, the soft Neil's voice, are a class of their own, that's so perfect. It makes me think of being young, in the past, in the flux of time, makes me want to make a video in VHS of myself these days. Although there is a bit of sadness (as he goes "now I sit in different places, in rented rooms and foreign places"), especially seeing them so young (particularly Chris), thinking they're in their 60s now; it's something that makes me cry. Sometimes when I listen to "Behaviour" it feels painful to see them "old" nowadays, in contrast with then.
In spite of this I'll enjoy them as long as possible...it's difficult to describe in words how much I love this song (and the PSB)
Вы прочитали мои мысли. Я с самого детства их слушаю и продолжаю слушать до сих пор, сейчас мне 15 лет.

Best song ever written
Certainly one of the best music videos ever.
Amazing song....
I doubt that anything will ever surpass this masterpiece. Timeless.
This song never fails to make me cry everytime.
me too my friend....
It makes me miss my youth and how simple things were then. And how I'd do it all again and more. 😢
i feel sad, dancing in a party thinking about your mortality.
By God, we really were never being boring. We couldn't be, could we? We all knew back then we were experiencing something special. I am so grateful to have been a part of it, so humbled to have shared the experience with you, my cohorts, and for The Pet Shop Boys who so beautifully captured it all in song. Love, indeed, comes quickly, whatever you do, I'll never stop falling, for you, for you.
Первая любовь, первые поцелуи и объятия, слезы на глазах и понимание что это никогда не вернуть, Pet Shop Boys спасибо вам❤
Honestly, this is my most favourite song by Pet Shop Boys, and I cried after listening to this.
Pet Shop Boys- One of the few things that I thanked God for in this ugly world...
Do you know the name of the model around time 4:53-54 of the video?
Perfect, flawless PetShop Boys classic. Never ages...
I don’t know how many times I listened to this song. Never being bored with it. Real masterpiece. 💖
Lyrics:
I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said, with quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said "we were never feeling bored"
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
When I went I left from the station
With a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said: "if you're not careful
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
I would never find myself feeling bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
So meaningful
Thanks
thanks from russia
Thank you so much for the songtext!
Tks
This has always been my favourite song by The Pet Shop Boys. It simply says it ALL ... people who say they are "bored" should listen to this - REALLY LISTEN !!
This is the same for me and I totally agree with you !
TheLostSinner I am SO glad that I am not the only one who feels this way!!
susi dakin
I also agree totally with you...simply great !!!! the POSTER of an AGE..and a GENERATION.....

This is beautiful. Never heard this until now. Love it. Pet Shop boys so underrated.
You're young, Pet Shop Boys were huge in the 1980s, it was a brilliant decade to be alive in, music 🎶 was astonishing, so many good bands and artists.... Today music is obsolete in comparison... Look into the 80s music, you'll love it. 👍
You know, lots of people say that the music of one decade or another had the "Best music". But this incredible song is from my 40's, every decade has its share of brilliant music, This is a perfect example of that. I love the music from the year that I got my first transistor radio on my 10th birthday in 1960. Every year before and after has great music. I still listen to new music and find new bands to love even now, in my 70s. I still like to revisit perfection like "Being Boring" every few weeks for a few hours. It makes me remember these decades, music can bring back the scent, time of year, the place you were, people you were with, and the feelings you experienced. Music is a time machine...
This song is magnificent. The dreamy melodies are as nostalgic and soft as a faded polaroid. But the lyrics stab you where it hurts, because time doesn't stop. If we're lucky, we'll all have that chance to reminisce on our past and think about the end. So bittersweet. I'm always left dumbfounded by the PSB and how deep they can be with pop, a seemingly simple thing. Love them.
Faded polaroid. Perfect comparison...
The day I leave this planet I will be SO PROUD to have been a teenager in the 80s and to get in adulthood in the 90s. The kids of today don't know how amazing it was, no cellphones, no internet, no social media, and those were still the happiest days of our lives.
yo tambien pienso como vos
For me too Caesar ,great Pet Shop Boys
The Best!!!!!
Those were the good old days..
I don't get these statements. We've never had so much, and society has come so far since then. My life in the 80's and 90's wasn't that great, so I guess I look back and just see how hateful and narrow minded the world was, and how much effort I had to go through to find art and beauty and good music.
This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
Ha…clever answer!
I've managed to survive to my 50's. I think of all my young friends who didn't. This song makes me yearn for the days when I shared their laughter. I will cherish those days forever!
Hold on to your friends and let them know how much they mean!!
Still one of my favorite PSB songs even after almost 25 years... Brings back so many memories...
Same....its 29 yrs old song now..i remenber listening at 18 yrs...wish cud go back to my youth...miss it a lot....nostalgic
To jest najlepsza piosenka Pet Shop Boys, która najlepiej oddaj atmosferę tamtych czasów, początków lat 90-tych. Co to były za czasy! Giełda płyt we Wrocławiu, w Pałacyku, nasze dyskoteki, nasza banda cała, gdzie siedzieliśmy po dyskotekach, które organizowaliśmy do rana, inni byli ludzie, którzy nie zapisywali na kartce tego ile kto od kogoś pożyczył pieniędzy na cokolwiek, ludzie byli bardziej otwarci, bezpośredni. Tak było!
This song and video is EVERYTHING 31 years later! Thank you for this masterpiece!
I can listen to this song 1 million times. A true masterpiece, literally. Just transmits so much comfort to my ears.
The 1715 people who disliked this were being boring
...very boring indeed.....
Still are in deed 😁
not only boring. but most likely IDIOTS.
Maybe they just hate the fact that they aren’t young anymore
Indeed. One of the most beautiful songs 💕
painfully beautiful song
Best comment ever.
André Antoine ❤Great!!!
It was a different time then, when everything meant something, and The Pet Shop Boys helped us achieve that. I miss those days
Как то даже жаль современную молодёжь, которая не может оценить этот, да и многие другие шедевры Pet Shop Boys. Разве что кто то случайно наткнется и откроет для себя. Тут все прекрасно, и музыка, и текст, и эстетика. Которой Pet Shop Boys нету равных.
we Polish just want left alone REALLY
In Poland there's good things like the polish tongue, Deep in Calm and Adam Malycz. am not polish by the way.
@@stanisawdebski8897 при чем здесь поляки??
@@user-zn7nk6hs7j I dont answer you by Russian in 1945 years you anexed us (Poland) to covert to Soviet Puppet State you took of us 2/3 lands after Teheran Conference . But POLAND WANT TO BE FREE and we waited 78 Years to be from you
NEVER FUCKING AGAIN
I'm just going through a severe stage of depression and it seems like my life is faded to failure, I'm 21 years old and just feel like nothing will work out. This song somehow brings me a little hope. I hope I can survive this because deep inside I really want to live. To have a good life and inspire other people. But right now everything seems so distance. I still haven't got anywhere that I want. I hope to find strength enough to keep fighting for myself.
You can get through this, you said you hope to inspire others, im 42 now suffer with depression and anxiety and your inspiring me. You know and got this at 21.
You've got a lot to give this world that I'm sure of. Stay strong Marina 👊
You've got this today 🙂
Girl, you're early 20s can be a confusing time. Hang in there..I promise it will get better. You will find yourself as time goes on and things will fall into place ❤️❤️
Marina Batista beautiful girl... 'Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long,... and in the end, it's only with yourself'... Listen to Baz Lurman "Everybody's Free (to wear Sunscreen)" Whenever I feel lost, down, bewildered, or behind, I always listen to that song/poem to cheer me up. Your young beautiful and fabulous. Don't sweat the small stuff.
You can surpass the trials. Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏
youre still very young,youll be looking back fondly in your thirties,just keep head up and get things done...youre stronger than you realise at the moment
It's not the age, it's the attitude. Whenever I hear and see this song, I go back to those early 90s when life was so swell. Sublime video.
olli manninen It brings back to tears and so many memories. I can relate to your comment.
I hear that and you're right.
Same....love 90s...good old young days....carefree..no internet...cell....just play out in summer...ride bikes...
I was 14 when this song came out and could instantly feel it was masterpiece, the song, the lyrics, the video. Now I'm 45 and I feel everything else, the longing, the loss, the passage of time...
Beatiful song. Takes me back to my youth when life happier, freer, younger, less stress……
I miss those days so much.
Behaviour: The masterpiece of the pet shop boys
+Edde Jr I agreed with you Edde.
fucking A this is masterpiece
+Archi Dembol Q te Follen a ti
+Archi Dembol fuck donald trump!!! Hahaha!
word!
This track is a masterpiece in lyric writing, music formation and subject matter, I'm so glad I lived an excessive life during the 80's and 90s what memories, experiences, it was never boring.
My goodness. My dad use to play his old tapes in the car when I was young and I remember having listened to so many songs by the pet shop boys. To come back and listen to this after so long feels so incredibly nostalgic and beautiful. This is real music.
This right here, especially for 1990, THIS is how you do synth-driven pop music! 🖤🤍
Yes I have to agree.... this is their MasterPiece! Brilliant song and Brilliant video by Bruce webber! 10 stars!!
One of the best videos ever
One of the best music videos I have seen. Fits well with the song.
.... best songs ever
Tue VERY best!!!
The...
agree.🥰
One Of The Greatest Popsongs Ever Recorded.
One of the best pop songs ever written. After all these years, I come back here again and again. The Pet Shop Boys will accompany me until I die.
PSB одна из лучших групп в истории, сейчас "таких не делают". Эта композиция просто вытягивает душу...
One of their most underrated tracks, a brilliant masterpiece
I must have been 9 and used to sit for hours watching MTV waiting for this song. Thought it was magical, gosh it brings back memories of my youth.
This song will never be boring Shoot it goes on repeat every time I come across it
This is Pet Shop Boys’ greatest track, a song even Tennant calls “our moment of pop perfection … our Shangri-La” !Axl Rose from Guns N’ Roses came backstage, and says, ‘But why didn’t you play ‘Boring’, man? I just love that song!’”
Can't stand GnR but like Axel now
The most perfect of many great Pet Shop Boys tracks... never again in my lifetime
and today it's 30 years old. Wowsers stevepafford.com/beingboring30/
It is a beautifully sad song, I remember I had just turned 20 when this song came out and I could not identify with the message because I was never being boring, I just thought the song was about not being boring and having fun.
Now in my 40s, it is so bittersweet to listen to this song because I have lost a couple of very dear friends over the years, one a little over a year ago and another some years after this song came out. Plus all those friends you just lose touch with and never imagine you would stop seeing them.
I just think in those times and how inmortal we felt, I wish my missing friends were here with me being boring.
That's life Vince... I have the same impression as you... time passes and then we realize our head is totally different from when we were in our 20s... This song is in someway a little depressive too when we think about the good old days that will never come back... that's life.
insanely good song prob one of the biggest tear inducing songs ever made
Lq
This song has sentimental value. Man, the 90's were so good and special for me.
Amen all the way Vince.👍
Sheer beauty. What a masterpiece. It always brings me to tears. Why?
2018, i'm 26 years now. Listening Being boring since i have 12. My favourite song ever. Thank you Neil, thank you Chris. Deeply from my heart.
Beautiful song. The line you'd be sitting somewhere here with me is killer
This song and the video is a masterpiece. I remember in 1990 when I was in Toronto Canada when it came out. How time flies
This song makes me want to live every moment from my 20's.
best video made by Bruce Weber, a piece of art.
Pet Shop Boys is ANOTHER LEVEL!!!
I once read this was the best track the Pet Shop Boys ever made. "No way" I thought, "nothing beats you were always on my mind from discography". But over the years this has grown on me, and you know, I think they were right. Best song they ever did.
You do realize that's Elvis Presley song ( always on my mind ) ?
Please say you do 😂
@@chrisChris6969 Rest assured yes I do! I should probably have said "Always On My Mind/In My House" the Pet Shop Boys Remix of the Elvis classic - which shouldn't really work, but does!
Ma..dove..siete. stati..ciao..alexia..sss..in..by..gio..sss..primo..ciaoo..Milano.. italy..

@@jayfkaye2544wow, parking lots everywhere...
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songs ever! Nice melody, good and deep message, Neil's outstanding and peaceful voice... Also a great video: youth, beautiful people and a very positive flair. I was just a kid when it was released and just came across it like 10 years ago, but it got me immediately!
Now, some years after having it among my favourite ones, I find myself with 32 "sitting with different faces in rented rooms and foreign places", struggling not to being boring and to keep the ones I was kissing around me... Plus, recently a good friend has been diagnosed as HIV-positive, I guess it's now somehow part of my own biography! Thanks, Neil and Chris, for this sublime masterpiece!
+Eduardo Carvalho I'm sorry that your friend is so ill. Take care.
+Eduardo Carvalho Amazing!! ;-)
A most beautiful requiem for friends.....
we were all out for a good time, & some of us died of AIDS......
The video is a bittersweet longing for a carefree time that would never come again.....💔
The nostalgia is rushing in from all different directions within my head! Love the message in this song. A timeless classic. All the memories are being encapsulated in the 'golden' decades of our lives
Lads you've been my go to vibe throughout my chaotic life. Thankyou.
Tenho 18 anos e sou completamente apaixonada por músicas e bandas como essa. Só lamento por jovens da minha idade que não gostam, não sabem oq estão perdendo. Isso sim é música de verdade!!!
com certeza ;) eu tenho 25 anos e ouço desde criança essas músicas da época kk muito bom!
E eu que pensei que nossa juventude estava perdida . Pelo visto , ainda não!
Tenho 18 anos tbm, pet shop boys é uma das bandas da minha adolescência 💕 amo muito
show gaby tenho 35 anos e sei bem do q a musica fala, aproveita bem sua juventude e escute musicas boas! bjs
