    Lyrics:
    Funny how I find myself in love with you
    If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
    One half won't do
    I've asked myself, how much do you
    Commit yourself
    It's my life, don't you forget
    It's my life, it never ends (It never ends)
    Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
    If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose
    I'd tell myself, what good you do
    Convince myself
    It's my life, don't you forget
    It's my life, it never ends (It never ends)
    I've asked myself, how much do you
    Commit yourself?
    It's my life, don't you forget
    Caught in the crowd, it never ends
    It's my life, don't you forget
    Caught in the crowd, it never ends
    It's my life, don't you forget
    Caught in the crowd, it never ends

    RIP Eric Vaughn Allen. 11/19/97 to 02/13/24. He loved this song. ❤️ He took his own life, and it has devastated me and his family. He loved going to Walmart and going out to eat. But, he was just as happy staying at home and eating noodles. His departure was sudden. But, he'd been battling depression for years and suicidal ideation. We feel as if we've failed him. He loved animals. Especially cats. He loved his computer. I write this in memory of him. On his favorite song. I will always love and miss him. I can't wait to see him in heaven. He's finally at peace, with his kitties that passed away.

      Korin. Sweet memories of your beloved friend. To whom you loved and miss dearly. Please understand the depression your friend suffered was something that he wasn't responsible for. Neither are you Korin or his family. It's a chemical . When not depressed their known as sensitive, insightful. The other side of the coin. Please forgive what your friend did. As it was also a selfish act. Leaving his friends and loved ones. To not only mourn. But to feel guilty? I doubt very much you did anything wrong. Honor your friend by moving on living your life. Being the best you can be! ❤❤❤❤

One of the best & most distinct voices of the 80s. He's right up there with other awesome 80's singers from the U.K.: #SiouxsieSioux (#SiouxsieAndTheBanshees), #Bono (#U2), #DaveGahan (#DepecheMode), #RobertSmith (#TheCure), #IanCurtis (#JoyDivision), among others...

      I don't think people really get the "meaning" of this song so much as they could theorize in scope to what it's all about. The message is both complex and simple.
      Simple because it's about the general life of everything and it's right to exist, as well and contextually complex to the nature of humans and our place among life around us as being observers to it, alien almost. The juxtaposition and the subtle hints and nods are quite telling though. Happy to know it's the original and not that other one that was made later on. Almost reminds me of that song Life's What You Make It in a way.

    What a powerful fucking song.

      @dimosorchestral6338 Před 3 lety +41

      Nicely said. The reason why this chord has such a big emotional impact is because it performs a modulation (from Eb to E). Modulations are such a fundamental composition technique, it is hard to understand why they almost completely disappeared in today's popular music. But who knows, judging by the success of "Leave the Door Open", maybe there will be a comeback.

    My youngest son died from an overdose recently. This is the song that was playing when I met his father in 1992. The lyric "funny how I find myself outliving you" hits me hard. Both my son and I suffered from opioid addiction for many years and for the life of me, I don't understand how I made it but he didn't. I'm sober now. But I wish to God every day that it had been me. He was brilliant, kind and sensitive and he should still be here now. All I can do is live my life each day, as hard as it is, in honor of him. I love you, Cameron, always. We will be together again. Shine on, my crazy diamond. 🕉

      I'm very sorry for the loss of your son, my heart breaks thinking of how I would cope with my son passing. I don't think I would have the strength to carry on. You're stronger than me.

      Hollis started as a punk rocker and moved on from synth pop refusing to make videos and release singles. Making music for himself that people still love. A real musician and mystery man. (The punk band is the Reactions who had a song called Talk Talk Talk Talk. Not as good as the synth one but worth a listen.)
