Lyrics:
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy someone say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now prides gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy someone say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world - Hudba

I found my poor sweet big brother dead in his bed on 7/30/20. That was the most devastating day of my life. I don’t remember the first few days after. But the Sunday after I put on my brave face and went to clean out his room and get it ready to be emptied. For some reason the moment I opened his door this song came into my head. I hadn’t thought about or heard it in literal years but there it was strong and clear every note and lyric. I burst into tears with the perfection of how exactly it captured what I’m going through. Thanks Duran Duran. My brother loved this song when we were teens. We both did.
Sorry for your loss!
Sorry for your loss. Much love.
Very sorry for your loss
Sorry for what happened to your brother. For your loss. He will continue loving you even if he's now in another dimension. Love love.❤️
Hello my friend I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, This song is actually about Simon Le Bon‘s friend David Mills who passed away in 1986, it is an absolute fantastic song,You are not on your own i to have lost a brother and a sister, sadly through suicide, they say time is a healer, but it’s not, Time accommodates,I am sending you my love and deepest warmest thoughts of sympathy to you stay strong and be brave 🌹🏴
My Mothers favorite song. She passed away in 2014. Im 49 this year and still think of her often. Spend as much time as you can with your loved one kids.
This song represents a wonderful era, which no longer exists. Everything has changed, everything is different.
Beautiful memories are destined to be lost over time.
You are so very right
"Lost like tears in rain..."
The other day, I was thinking about all the missed opportunities for greatness that everyone has missed for all history and was feeling the weight of all that was lost, and then I remembered God. He sent His Son into the world to save everything good that was lost. Everything good is saved and we will find it again when we enter His kingdom. We have a beautiful God.
Our beloved daughter Mary Ann, born 1974, died one week after her 49th birthday on September 29, 2023. She was a child of the 80's, but also loved music from the previous two decades - especially the Grateful Dead and CSN. I know she was into pop music when in middle and high school, Duran Duran being one of her favs. Losing her has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through, and I doubt I'll ever be over her death. Hug your loved ones every day, and tell them how much you love them while they can still hear you. Mom and I miss you very much, and we will continue loving you until we meet again. Love ya, Dad
CHEER UP
@jaycorby
I SEND YOU A HUG
SHE KNOWS HERSELF LOVED BY YOU
EVEN IN THE PLACE THAT IS FOUND
KEEP LOVING HER UNTIL THE END OF YOUR DAYS, BECAUSE YOU WERE BLESSED BY GOD AND LIFE WITH THAT BEING OF LIGHT AND A SPECIAL TOUCH
Brother I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you yourself are still breathing today. Thriving. Borderline at peace 🙏.
That is terrible for you and your family. Thinking of you. This is a great song.
@@joenual1159 Thank you for such kind words.
@@Psychedelicbodega Thank you for your kind words. Some days are easier than others, but the pain of loss never leaves.
A wise man once said...when you are happy, you enjoy the melody but when you are broken, you understand the lyrics...amazing song.
Waouh nice quote. Will remember it. It’s true.
😢 yes indeed. I am a widower...
Wow ! That's amazing . Thankyou for sharing that info.
POWERFUL!
I’ve never heard that before. Are you sure that you’re not that wise man? I don’t usually comment on CZcams videos, but, what you said was actually insightful.
30 years on. 1993-2023.
This song NEVER grows old.
oi 🌹😿🌹🌹🌹🎶🎵🎸👄👄👄
crazy some say...
Like the wine❤
,,,❤️💯
Yes it does
Among the 10 best hits from the 90s, an absolute masterpiece in every way you look at it.
I hope i can agree that there are 9 more beautiful songs like this one from that era. Curious about yours ( 1 or 2 is fine!)
100%.
The vocals, arrangement, instrumentation, and not forcing the song length to fit the artistry rather than a 2 minute 45 seconds ideal length for AM radio.
Never tire of this song.
@@user-df4dm1mf3ttheres dozens of 90s masterpieces songs " one head light" wallflowers, " " lucky man", " bitter sweet symphony" The verbe, "side" Travis, etc etc
could you please list it here? would love to hear the other 9 masterpiece
I've been listening to /involved /reviewing music most of my life.
my top 10 changes every day.
dunno how you can have a best of until you've heard it all.
but I will keep trying.
track is quality no doubt.
my 80 yr old father passed away Friday, May 2024. i will be playing this song @ his funeral to honor him. Duran Duran are one oF my fav artists all time.
🤘😞💔
Sorry for your loss
@@jessedustman2114 HOOT HOOT THE OWL.
In my opinion this is the best song Duran Duran ever did.
For me this, hungry like a wolf 🐺 and white lines
Come undone... There's an argument right here
I agree totally!!
@John Fisher quite well said-
I'm always torn between this and Come Undone as their masterpiece- both are probably in the top 10 of best pop songs ever made. Both of these songs were 40 years ahead of their time
My husband passed away suddenly last week. 12/22/22. My heart is broken and this song has been on repeat at my house. Except for me it’s while I cry for yesterday. Thank you Duran Duran.
This (divinely-inspired) music will help you focus on loss; but when the time comes it will help you to move on from loss as well.
God console you, and be with you, my friend!
May RIP and God cure your wounds, sorry for your lost.
Hang in.
He's still with you.
🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
I’m 55 years old. And this song still sounds great. They don’t do tunes like this anymore! This could be my theme song 🎵 😢❤💔🙏🏽
why the fu?@ does it matter how old you are ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its a great song
Yes, WE are still alive for a reason ✨ 80's 4-ever 💗
I'm 51 and the same ...
😊
Божественно!❤
I am from Brazil. I love this music 😢😢
One of the best songs EVER!
I was 31 years of age when this song came out, and the same year my wife died. . . . "Where is my friend when I need you most" . . . I thought they wrote this song for me. . . . . . I had to learn to survive! Thank you Duran Duran.
This song helped me grieve my mother in 1992. I can relate.
Bless you. So sorry for your loss.I don't think you ever get over losing a loved one, you just learn to 'cope' day by day!
@@stephaniem5091 . . .thank you. No you don't get over, just thru it. . . but the loss is always with you. Wonderful memories today, about the beautiful person that she was. I only wish her son/my son had the time to spend with her. Today he is 31 . . . . the same age I was when she passed. I guess in a selfish way, when she passed I just wanted the world to stop, if only for a second. Looking back, the world has changed so much. And in my own grief, I've been able to take care of others with strength and understanding of how painful life can often be. Again thank you. . .today I am blessed. ✝️
I’m liking this comment because it brought tears too my eyes to read & I agree with you on feeling like it was wrote for you, because I feel it was wrote for me too during a time in my life. Bless you & everyone that goes through pain. Please remember that we have these songs to help us through these times of pain.
Sorry for your loss... hope you are doing well!! Stay strong!👍
Right before my wife passed away, she made me promise her that I would move on and find happiness again. During the rough years of grieving this song served as a reminder of a promise I made to someone who I love dearly to this day. That was many years ago. Today I have a loving wife and twins in high school. This song now serves as a reminder of a promise kept. This song still makes me cry.
I agree
My wife passed and I also have twins in high school. Every day I wish she was here.
My wife died in December of '22. Your comment brought tears.
Over the past 40 years many of my friends and family have past away, too many, and the wounds do not heel, but from this sorrow, there is joy, in the bright light of hope, the joy of love I have from our Grand children, they are our world now
Wow, brought me to tears!!! She must have been a beautiful lady inside and out. So happy to here you fulfilled your promise. Very special!!!
Pure, pure fire. This song hits like a tidal wave.
When this song dropped I had been a fan of Duran Duran for a decade. I was stunned at how beautiful and brutal it was, and shows how much they and I had matured. This is their masterpiece.
Lyric
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well, now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every one
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any one
Is my world
Thank You for the lyrics.
Theo best
Song of my childhood, just remembered the fab chorus.... thanks for lyrics
Thank you.
I sure appreciate people who post lyrics.
This is my favorite song by Duran Duran.
Red did a Symphonic Hardrock cover of this song, with way more emotion. Perhaps you'd like that one.
Yep this one n come undone
it is a great tune...beautiful
And Come Undone
That's my favorite idol and I'm gonna ask Simon Lebon if he's available on Saturday night so we can be housemates and he'll teach me to sing some of his songs I happened to have a keyboard which is a musical instrument I wondered who plays a keyboard in Duran Duran can you please find out who it was?
I’m an 80’s boy - I played this song at my wife’s funeral this past March - I listen to this song to remind me that I need to keep going, keep navigating through the pain and get back to an ordinary world - so yes I’m still listening
I’m so sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences, she is with you always. ❤️
What a great track to remind you of your wife. I hope you appreciate the blessing of meeting, marrying and enjoying your time with her. Take care
very sorry for your loss, the pain never goes away but does ease with time. Stay strong
This song helped me through my darkest times.
Ordinary World is the most beautiful song that Duran Duran ever recorded!
Beautiful
Oh yeah it's right
Y far
I’ve been listen to this song since I was 16 til now…so many good memories 😊😊😊
Red made a better version of it. Just saying
A masterpiece, outstanding lyrics & melody.
yeah! en El corazon, siempre
Yeah. Now it's just 24/7 autotune sing-the-same-note-over-and-over-again-in-a-wimpy-emo-voice crap.
A Legend???????
Best pop song of the 90s!
2024 and I am still listening, some songs are truly timeless
31 o1 2024 Estou ouvindo pela milésima esta melodia.
Me now❤
Same mate
Most of the songs writen in the 70's, 80's until mid 90's are timeless in my humble opinion. :)
this and save a prayer are masterpieces
I'm in my last year of sixth form and will be going to university in september. I'd been a target for bullying by one person for the first 5 years of secondary school until they finished compulsory schooling. It was a really painful and dark 5 years and my teenage years felt almost wasted because of what I had to go through every day. I was miserable and didn't see much of a future ahead. The loneliness of the pandemic also contributed to my feeling helpless.
Hearing this song shortly after finishing Year 11 meant a lot to me though. I've listened to it a lot in the 2 years since I first heard it because it gives me a sense of closure knowing that all of the suffering is over and that I will get a fresh start in another part of the UK and an opportunity to have a more fulfilling life exploring and studying a subject I love. I can't thank Duran Duran enough for being my favourite band in the world and making me feel so much happier listening to them. This song really is a healer
Hope ur ok now..
There's always going to be those people who spend their lives trying to make others lives miserable. You've made it this far because you're stronger than those people. When you get out of school, non of those people matter, they'll fade into the past, so don't let them effect your life. Make the best of your time now and make your own future. Best wishes to you.
@@W45Jasper Your comment really means a lot to me, I'm very excited for what the future holds. Thank you so much!
So sorry you had to go through this. I hope life is better. When people are cruel, it says more about them than it ever could about you. What anyone else thinks is NONE of your business. It is theirs. Try not to listen. You are a unique and special simply BECAUSE you ARE!! all the best to you...
My god, where has this music gone? this is pure magic.
It`s here but you just need to know where to look.
This music is still here. For all of us. Peace
😆😛😣
I stil listen to these
Sometimes
Not that much of a Duran Duran fan, but this song is a MASTERPIECE, both lyrically and musically.
This is what I will say. This song is great. I'm same age as Duran. This the only Duran song that I think is brilliant. I saw them live opening for Bowie.
I agree. I wasn't a Duran fan. Too mainstream for me at the time. This was written much later. Beautiful songBeautiful
same, not really into their 80's stuff but Come Undone and Ordinary World are just masterpieces
Yeap! Never was either and never understood the fascination but this here is one heck of record!! 😀
And honestly I think that was a lot of us back then
but even the most unsuspecting person loved this track! ❤
Like you and me and many others. 😀
@@Cocolocas Never understood the fascination. Just like I never understood the fascination with Bon Jovi.
Never done anything for me.
To me they are just there
Just like the cement on the sidewalk
It’s just there.
Talking about Bon Jovi btw and I guess Duran Duran but at least Duran Duran had this!
Ordinary world
Music that speaks to the soul
Absolutely Spectacular
Cheers
Thank you very much indeed
Kind regards
It's a shame the 80s died. I miss those days now more than ever. Things just aren't the way they used to be.
It makes me sad that not everyone got to grow up like we did!
this a 90s song though :)
Yes but thanks to the wonders of Technology, you get to asscees an awful lot from The 1980's. Your Great Grant Parents weren't so lucky.
The song encourages us NOT to cry for yesterday. I have known for years the beaut of this song; but I only saw the joy in it once I was Born Again in Jesus, through the Holy Spirit (the co-author of thus divine work of art). For me this song is now about now and today. Including the moment of writing to you, which has its value and meaning, done in love and truth....
Visit the 80s daily with some quality headphones, then try your best to live the rest of your day in the now. Godspeed brother.
I've never been a fan of Duran Duran, but this song is simply a masterpiece in every way and I love it more and more as the years go by.
I never was really a fan of Duran Duran but the more I listen to the music the more I am becoming a fan this song is excellent
Hi I recommend a song that's called 'The bond Villain' By Robert Nix
Ditto
When they're good they're VERY good.
Im with you pal
This song reminds me of my parents when they were alive. Yes....sometimes I prefer to live in the past. I have no family now..... so my memories give me comfort. That is really all we have left sometimes.
I'm the same mate, I'm 47 now but all my closest family were dead and gone by the time I was 25. The past isn't a bad place as long as it's not the only place you live.
😯😯😳
you and me both brother - love ya
I don’t live in these god awful times
You will see them again. They wait on you as you will wait on others.
This song soothed my lonely childhood ..long bike rides with my Walkman tears down my eyes ..I was unstoppable
Hey I'm here in May 2024. Who else is listening?
This song is playing in France at the moment I Love 🥰🌹🇫🇷
The song is being used for a car ad on the French TV right now!
Me! My fav DD song
me
Me ! Again and again ❤
28 years later, and I'm still listening to this amazing song! I came home from my Dad's funeral in 1993, turned on the TV... And this video came on 😢 I was 16 and a half.. prophetic words I thought to myself 💪🏻
It came on for you
@@BenjaminBartle-li3pc Yeah, it was great timing. Very meaningful ♥️
I play this to think of my dad. I drove him mad with my Duran Duran love but I think he liked them😀 i miss him
Condolences.
@Emma Constantinides Thanks so much 😊
“Where is the life that I recognize, gone away”. Couldn’t be truer right now.
If U believe in almighty God, I HUMBLY suggest, say a pray, for at least yourself !!
DAVID GEERLING those lyrics too?
@@larrygarcia6356 Yeah, Yeah...They fit perfectly my brother...Nice comparison about the lyics and covid19...That's Y I HUMBLY suggested U to pray:):) Good stuff !! Peace !!
This song was released in the Spring of 1993, lyrics couldn't be more in tune to the times we're living in today. It seems like living in two diametrically opposed realities but we're not, this is real, this is the ordinary world.
👍
Por favor toda vez que alguém estiver👂ouvindo Essa música 🎶, Curta Esse Comentário Só Pra Eu Poder Voltar e Apreciar Esse HINO De Novo! ❤❤❤
Sou dos anos 90 e tenho que admitir, essa música é muito atemporal. Um clássico eternizado.
This masterpiece deserves one billion views ☺🥰🤩
Agreed
Yes brilliant song my favourite Duran Duran tune....
Ya! Not very underatted but underatted! It is a masterpiece.
It is a very well made song . Perfectly crafted.
Yes, and even more. Several trillions at least.
This song never gets old. This song represents the past present and future. Doesnt get any better. What a classic.
Exactly
Since The Worlds Been Turned upside Down , I Haven’t Stopping singing this song lately 🦠
Verdade meu amigo
I graduated high school in 1983 and I can't believe how fast time goes and I always listen to Duran Duran if I want to go back in time in my memories, those days are gone but not forgotten.
Do not worry everything will be alright. From Ukraine...
April 2024 ? 🇧🇷

"And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive"
This may be what everyone of us is feeling about those coronavirus days that seem never end. One of the greatest lyrics and songs from the 90's.
Thaks.. i will survive...
“TEN FUCKING YEARS!”
This song became my covid era anthem since 2020.
Anyone still going back to this song in 2024?
Been in rotation for the past few days ❤
I lost 5 family members in 2023. It had a strong presence in my life in 2017 when I lost my brother and does even more so now. ❤
Just discovered this song this year. I have this on repeat while I'm drawing 🤟
I was listening the top lists 1985 to 2023, guess which song was the best by far?
Thanks to Top Of The Pops on BBC Iplayer ❤
possibly the most perfectly arranged song since Zeppelins Rain Song
"Where is my friend when I need you most" - that lyric always hits me right in the heart!
i cant escape the ghost of you
@mattcorbin5194
Is this song about a friend who died? I'm getting those kind of vibes
@@MetalFriscoDude79 You're right! I just Googled and found this:
The origins of "Ordinary World" were the results of tragedy: the death of singer Simon Le Bon's good friend, David Miles, of a drug overdose in 1986. “I'm not a big believer in the supernatural, but six years after [my friend's death], I started to feel a weight inside me," Le Bon told Paste in 2017.
Got me unblocking
I ask that question every day
This is simply the most perfect pop song of the last 30 years.Period.
most perfect pop song of all time. simply GOAT bro
I agree ♥️
A rock band from Denmark (anubis gate) did an amazing cover of this song! Unfortunately very hard to find it on the internet tho😒
By far not my favorite band, in fact very much the opposit. But THIS is my favorite song for as long as I know it.
Yes. Ya no hay de estos artistas ✌✌
Hello and good day to you ladies and gentlemen watching this video ❤️ saying hello from Chicago Illinois USA ❤ Sunday February 25th 2024🌞☀️☀️🌞
Where's my friend when I need you
Music that speaks to the soul
The moment you create a work of art like this, you become immortal.
Goddamn right!
For sure...
immortal to me too
I totally agree
Perfect!
Hard to believe there was a time where every week a song this good would be in in the charts.
That’s a really good point. What the hell happened….
Those of us who grew up in the 60, 70, 80’s , we were blessed with the most incredible Music. I hear these songs and I know every word! It was an amazing wonderful time for Music. Of course anytime is a great time for music.
But we did seem to have the BEST ARTISTS EVER!
Grew up on this music and still love it and listening today. Do like modern music but don’t think there are classic tunes like this one or those produced by other great artists of the time eg. Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet, Simple Minds, A-Ha, Inxs etc
So true.So glad all my memories are brought to life from all the music that surrounded them.
Hey now we got cadi b and Travis scott 😆 nails on a c board would sound better then what we have today 🎶
This has to be in top 20 all time best songs ever
Layer cake is a superbly underrated film
Yus!!
Quite simply,Duran Duran's finest song....almost 30 years later,this stops me in my tracks! A masterpiece 🙏
Yep! totally agree
Hi I recommend a song and video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
You nailed it with this comment!
Agree Joe… Just heard this song now for the 1st time in a LONG TIME….. LOW KEY, This song is an absolute classic and highly underrated IMO and RIGHT NOW is my fav. Duran Duran (and Duran Duran has ALOT of great songs)…..
A great song but they had bigger hits like reflex, is there something I should know and hungry like the wolf, though this is the most soul wrenching song they did.
I suffered from deep depression from the ages 15-23. This song brings me back to that time, and reminds me how far I’ve come.
Don't cry for yesterday. There's an ordinary world for you to find.
life is an ever changing journey...don't let the past remind us of what we are not now....LIGHT and LOVE!
I did also! I always thought it weird how this song made life better, even though it seems rather melancholy. This and Come Undone were my go to songs during those tough times.
"I will learn to survive"
We DID :)
I'm 16 and this song is my therapy.
Masterclass of a song and still sounds as fresh today as it ever did, something about this just hits differently 🙌🙌
I'm going to be 60 in May, and this still is the jam that keeps on going!
Duran Duran have an amazing back catalogue but this in my opinion is their best song ever. Magnificent
Amen
When you hear a song it triggers your memory when you first heard it where you were the feelings that you had at the time the people that were with you
❤❤😅
I am amazed about that clear shift from 80s to 90s sound. And Duran Duran were a very 80s band and this sounds very comfortably 90s.
For sure. Probably my favorite song of all time
This song was written in the sadness, and grief of the loss of his best friend. I feel this for the losses of my best friend and my daughter.
🤗
I am so sorry for your losses. Your new normal is never gonna feel normal...it is one you only adjust to on different levels as you go through life... learning to survive trying to make your way to an ordinary world.💜
Memories are precious. She is in your heart. Keep her their. Your new ' ordinary world' won't ever be the same. It stays with through out your life, until the end. Your new normal. Keep the love, and her, in your heart, ALWAYS. Keep the love. She will always be there for you in your heart, your ' ordinary life. Everyone has their ordinary life of loss, of love. God bless you, love & hugs. Keep going. Hang in there. I've lost SO many. I can't even begin,,so I don't,,, 🤗💔❣️
I love this song. Ironically, I am watching this video today on a rainy Thursday.
This song is relevant now more than ever. The world is crazy and upside down. This song reminds me to keep it simple and in perspective and cherish the things and people that are really important in my ordinary life. It helps that it has an excellent guitar riff too.
I was 30 when this song came out. I'm 60 now and still love it. Hard to believe the bulk of my lifetime to date has gone by in the blink of an eye.
Thought it’s more recent than 30 years. Could be wrong
It's like that for all of us. The older we get the quicker time goes
I think is more recent

Absolutely beautiful song.
I love this tune. I don't know why, but it seems so sorrowful, and filled with sentimental regret. LOVE IT
Songs like this is always hard to believe that people actually wrote it. It's just too good.
Hi I Recommend an Indie Song Called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
They also have "What Happens Tomorrow " from 2004 very similar to this, check it out!
@@redskies4530 "Nobody Needs to be Lonely"
Yeah, this song is one of those "special" songs.
1. "Where is my friend when I need you most. (gone away)"
2. "Ours is just a little sorrowed talk."
The lyrics are so powerful.
Lyrics
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well, now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every world
Is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world
How sweet of you ❤️
Thanks 👍
Hi I recommend checking out a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Thank for adding this!
More TRUE..... always
One of my favorite songs and videos of the last 120 years
Really a touching song … I loss my boy and this makes me I need to push forward .😢
😔🙏💙🌺
I first heard this when it was playing in a store while I was shopping. I simply stopped in the.middle of the shop and stood there, stunned. A truly astounding song, so beautiful and a tremendous songwriting achievement. The emotional awareness and feeling are in another dimension.
good reply
Same thing happened to me !
This is close to how it makes me feel, it really is hard to put into words just how deep this songs hits. There aren't many songs that do this to me
Reminds my wife miss her love u forever, till we meet again my angel Lariane RIP my lil lady love of my life
@@larianemiles645 sorry to hearthat, hopefully this makes you figure out how you find a way forward until that day. This song strangely gives comfort
I’m 51 years and every time I listen to Duran Duran it brings me memories that I wish could be young again, best music forever
I'm 51 years old as well and know exactly how you feel.
Im 65 and I never stop@@AranRinzei
63 and feel the same. Where did my life go?? I've lost many family members, and friends are moving away. I am not prepared for all these changes.😢
I hear you my friend
I agree. They were one of the best bands of the early to mid 80s. They were considered a bunch of pretty boys but they were also good musicians and songwriters. This was one of their more mature sounding songs but it's still very much them. To me the best pop music was late 70s to early 90s because that's the era I was listening to these as a child and right up until my early 20s so it resonates with me. There's a sadness to this song that is almost like me kissing goodbye to my youth back in 93 from one of my favourite bands of the era.
This song comes on about at work and it was stuck in my head but I never really “heard” it until now. Comments are heart wrenching. Man life can be sad sometimes but also beautiful if you can just sit with it for a while.
Omg Duran Duran is AMAZING🌟
I get chills listening to this!!!!! They don't make music like this anymore......the 80's are forever!!!!
this is true, but this song is from 1993...
This was 90s
Yeah this is definitely the sound of 93
They do not. Songs like this one, bring back memories.
You know, I believe that somewhere in the world there are still people who feel the same emotions that I feel when listening to this timeless masterpiece.
I swear I can feel the heartache from another life listening to this song. Beautiful song
Yes agreed 👍
Not 1, not a few, but millions.
But what is TRULY reaching out from the music is GOD, through the Holy Spirit.
The darkness tried to take the song from us, by associating it with "The Evil Within"
(Think that's by chance? Wrong. Nothing is by chance. Things have meaning)
1 John 5:19 - We know that we belong to God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
This is what the song is all about, and the "emotions" actually ready to explode in countless people are the sure knowledge that the world is NOT as it should be, not just enough, not divine enough, not kind enough, not sacrificing enough; too much in the hands of godless elites presiding over the chaos that is ALWAYS the hallmark of the D*v*l.
Loving money and power and the monolith that keeps most of us down and out.
Something new, more ORDINARY, has to break out from this - like a new butterfly from the chrysalis.
ordinary truth (instead of the endless lies and fakery), ordinary love, ordinary mercy.
ordinary compassion.
Just what Jesus means.
Just what the Holy Spirit works endlessly for - giving us signs in nature, culture (as above), Scripture and rapture.
When the rapture comes it will be too late for many.
So the time is now, stefano!
@@JustAlanIsCool Interesting, so you do not feel the ecstatic JOY in the song?
Before I did not, but now I DO.
Thanks be to God...
I do
Anyone in 2024!❤
I’m from 2023
Still a die hard fan.
yes April 24th 2024 🎶

This is an early '90s masterpiece that keeps on giving. Warren Cuccurullo's guitar work is transporting.
Message I get from this song: Don't cry for yesterday because yesterday is gone. All we can do is make the best out of what we have. It may not be okay now, but it will be.
when you make two thoughts (statements) and use the word but it negates the former thought. do try again.
@@Alex-yq7yc very true it's sad as hell
Mmmmm ? Xmas & after ?
ill amen 2 that
Lo mejor. De lo. Mejor. De duran duran desde Bolivia...
One of the most personal, relatable, resonant songs ever created.
As many have said, still a fantastic song so many years later. Listening to it just now made me think of a close friend who died from AIDS in 97'. It brought tears to my eyes thinking of all the fun we had partying and going to concerts. I've seen a lot of friends pass over the years, but I still think about and miss Phil the most. I turn 61 this year and this song always reminds me of him 😢
An absolute gem. I was a young girl when this came out and I loved it then. But now it means more to me as an adult. Perfection.❤
Lyrics 🎉
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still, I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
(Gone away)
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
(Gone away)
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Oh, yeah, oh
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every world
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world
Is my world
Every world
Is my world
Thanks for the beautiful words 😘
Great, stunning
tks!
My battle to overcome depression and survive and let go of toxic relationships has brought me here. These words " I don't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world ....I will learn to survive" 😌
You just have to....

One of the best songs ever
Lost a friend and this song hit me hard every time I heard it
I avoided it for a while but now it has a comforting aspect. Never thought of this song like this before.
I picked out this song to be played at my dads funeral this past week, it felt appropriate. I’ll always remember the great memories we shared together. I’ll miss you dad! 😢
I'm sorry for your loss. I love that you are focused on the great memories you've shared! You WILL see him again, I promise.
Wishing much love and peace brother
You did a great job picking this song, your very in tuned to your spiritual sense. Your Dad was proud of you.
@@carollong7956 la zzzzñzñpñzZññ
If I were your dad, I'd be proud that this was the song you picked. It's an extremely meaningful one and a beautiful choice. I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you find some semblance of comfort in the fact that others see the beauty in your choice.
1992 - this song is awesome!💥
2022 - this song still awesome!💥
Absolutely.
Very Correct
Always will
Time flies... ya know 😪
Yeah, and 10 years from now the same will be true.
This has always been a song of loss and grief for me. There is no ordinary world after losing a loved one. Our worlds are changed. Maybe that is why we come together after a loss. If you have ever gone thru a deep loss it changes you. And for me it has given me a sense of empathy for others going thru the same experience. Grief is a very personal journey and has no timetable. But i KNOW we are not alone in it.
Ive enjoyed this song for a long time. It hits deeper as I've experienced loss, myself. When I listen to it, I always listen twice, sometimes three times in a row. Just an amazing song!
I’m 34. I always thought of Duran Duran as an ‘80s band, and then this came up on the ‘90s station, on satellite radio. I was like… This is Duran Duran?! It sounds so different from their earlier material. They sold me with this song. This song always puts me into a deep state of thought and reflection. Absolutely beautiful song. Kudos Duran Duran!
Believe me Winton, I was blind but now I see that a bit of the kudos here goes to the Holy Spirit, who both inspired and resides in this music, spreading out to us the mystery of God's love and mercy pervading the universe. Maybe you know instinctively that this is the truth about this music - how else can it be eternal in the way it is? How else can it transcend" How else can it make us feel ecstasy out of melancholy?
In the '90s i hated this song. I hated every song from the radiocharts. Now I'm in my '40s and I love the song.
by the way whats wrong with any 80s band? LOL!
@@danholzer4626 Hahaha!!! Absolutely nothing my friend! I was born in the ‘80s. I love ‘80s bands. I was just speaking to how their sound evolved over time. lol.
I was vacationing in Orlando with my aunt when it played on Mix 105.1
I was fishing with an AM FM radio tape recorder and skipped until the Spencer Davis Group played Gimme Some Lovin'
This song is so melancholic that it’s romantic. I can recognize the pain behind the lyrics but it really speaks to me like a love song
I think it's about someone's death?
@@pup1008 It is. It's a song of loss.
The singer has lost someone, someone who was a huge part of their life, and that loss has completely turned their lives upside down.
They're struggling to move on, to reach the 'ordinary world', that is, a sense of the normality they had before the loss, and 'learning to survive', that is, figure out how to continue their life without that person in it, but they're not ready yet. They're still grieving, as much as they recognize 'they've somehow got to find' the way back to that 'ordinary world', they can't.
@@GuukanKitsune
The lyric to "Ordinary World" were written by Simon Le Bon as the second of a trilogy of songs for his late friend David Mile.
@@GuukanKitsune i ihad no idea with the original release in the 90s that the song was about grief and loss but now all these years later after the recent passing of my father i relate to the lyrics of trying to deal with grief and the process of loss
Yes
The ordinary days are unfortunately long good, I now cry for days long gone
Какая прекрасная музыка. Вспомнил молодость прям бальзам на душу.
When we lose someone we love so much, or go through something that is so hard and a loss, this song tells us what to do. We must find the ordinary world and somehow relearn how to survive. What a gift.
Truth!
Seu comentário é o mais íntegro. 🔃🔃🔃
Parabéns pra você!
Yes. Bless you. ❤
Fact: This is Duran Duran's best song.
Very true!! No question about it.
I think it is. AND I saw an interview where they asked Duran Duran which song they thought was their best song and they answered: ORDINARY WORLD. So, it is a FACT. :)
Absolutely
Without Doubt
It's the best if you wanna relax. If you wanna celebrate, it's "Wild Boys". Agree?
Una obra maestra de una banda espectacular, nunca me cansare de escucharlos 😊
This song is exquisite to me, by far Duran Duran's best song and Simon does the best singing of his career near the end of this song.
Heard it on my way to work this morning as I grieve for my husband who passed away from covid the end of December. This puts all my feelings in perspective
My sincerest condolences.
Just know that you have our deepest condolences!
Thank you for your condolences. It means alot💕
I am sorry for youre loss and Gods blessings from the Netherlands 💞
Thank you
The melancholy expressed in this song is physically palpable.
My heart physically hurts while listening to it, yet I can't stop playing it over and over.
Well said
I totally get it
Yes, over and over and over.
You described it perfectly.
Best Song Ever !
Came in Thursday from the rain on the avenue still I can't escape the ghost of you 🎉im 34yrs old but like this alot it gives music that relates duran duran.
The older i get the more the lyrics hit home, absolute beast of a song and absolutely soul cleansing, when i listen to it the dam wall breaks and the tears flow.
Same here. It reminds me that our lives are a snapshot in time.
@@lasttango7522❤😂😂😂😂
I understand exaktly what you mean! Absolutely!!!
❤
& grateful of all that tech that makes this possible, kudos to all those young and dreamers- musical bands!
This song captures the essence of what we all go through in life one way or another, including loss and change, new challenges and old regrets but somehow we will survive! Such a perfect song!
It's not enough to survive.. we must thrive
Very well said.
If this song doesn't get anyone, they are probably dead.
Perfectly written...
So true my friend - so well said... Thank you
