    Lyrics:
    So soon
    Just after you've gone
    My senses sharpen
    But it always takes
    So damned long
    Before I feel how much
    My eyes have darkened
    Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
    Drifting in our room
    So easy to disturb
    With a thought
    With a whisper
    With a careless memory
    On the table
    Signs of love life scattered
    And the walls break
    We go crashing within
    It's not as though
    As though you really mattered
    But being close
    How could I let you go
    Without some feeling
    Some precious sympathy following
    Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
    Drifting in our room
    So easy to disturb
    With a thought
    With a whisper
    With a careless memory
    I walk out into the sun
    I try to find a new day
    But the whole place
    It just screams in my eyes
    Where are you now?
    Cause I don't want to meet you
    I think I'd die
    I think I'd laugh at you
    I think I'd cry
    What am I supposed to do
    Follow you?
    Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
    Drifting in our room
    So easy to disturb
    With a thought
    With a whisper
    With a careless memory

      Looking back at all the bands and music I used to listen to back then, I'm surprised by the bands that I actually have a deep appreciation and respect for.
      I mean I liked the music of Duran Duran back in the day but because there was so much other music around back then, and because I was just a kid, they were lost in the mix of all the pop and rock and new wave bands that were around.
      But looking back, much of the music and many of the bands I once liked in the 80's I've since come to realise lacked true talent and musical production genius. Many were just disposable pop and rock artists.
      But Duran Duran were absolute geniuses at creating, arranging and producing unique, seductive and indulgent music that truly stands the test of time. Their videos are works of music video art. The guys are just such nice guys. They are truly dedicated to music as they are still producing music to this day. And they've released a number of hits over a span of 4 decades.
      They are exciting because they keep evolving and entertain us with new music and with their stories from their musical journey and with their music from their early days which is still pure ear candy.

    What an absolutely wonderful tune. I was 9 years old when this was out. I had a best friend called Simon. (And, no, his surname wasn't Le Bon! Funnily enough!) He adored this song. I still remember him singing it one evening as we went home after mucking about for hours after school on the local playing field. 40 years ago, but an incredibly vivid - though not careless - memory. A couple of years later he moved to Surrey.....and, of course, eventually we lost touch.
    Have been trying to find him for the last 20 years or so, but all to no avail. I'm 50 now, and he will be next year. Simon, if you ever see this, get in touch. I'd give my right arm to reminisce about those childhood days with you.....and, hey, maybe play utterly brilliant stuff like Careless Memories whilst we do.

    The _New Romantic_ Look was so cool... though short-lived.
    This song has such an energy, live in concert the song is epic!!
    The bit in the video with the tulips must symbolize something... shattered love?
