    You're interpretations of the song were very good and meaningful. The lead singer, Simon LeBon, actually wrote the song after a friend's suicide. After the funeral, he was looking through photos of them together and wondering how he would be able to move on and "survive" without his friend (the line "where's my friend when I need you most" was his mindset). After that, he started interpreting all the other meanings it could have and incorporated it into this song, which was kind of their comeback song in early 1992 (they had a massive falling off from their 80s heyday).

Maybe (in most cases) your first true romance is never meant to last. Mine didn't either and broke both our hearts. I still play this myself after surviving a decade and a half of psychological abuse married to my ex-partner. Thankfully I'm away from all that now (unfortunately no contact with grown up children either). I guess as Amber said this song can be what you want it to be.

      It's funny that you mentioned that, I was thinking the exact same thing before I scrolled down the comments. I truly believe one of biggest differences between the kids of today and our generation is the messages that we received from our music and entertainment, not denying we didn't have some messed up stuff, we REALLY did, but I believe the 90's ended up being the pinnacle of music, and entertainment, in general. There has been some really good stuff since then but I can see a clear difference in the effect that it has on society.

      They began pretty pop-y and easy listen but even from the start some songs stood up. But by the time they made this album they decided go fully embrace their artistic ambitions. The mood of the early 90s was that music had to have meaning, as a reaction to the bubblegum shallowness of the music scene in the 80s.

    This song brings out a lot of emotions in me. My young daughter died from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and 6 months later my wife served me with divorce papers. She said I was not emotionally available for her. She was right. I was completely devastated by watching my daughter take her last breath. I completely disconnected from everyone and everything. I worked double shifts and slept frequently to try and avoid the pain. It was a time of grief, depression and self-doubt for me. I really struggled to move on with my life for quite some time. I’m a big Duran Duran fan, but actually hated hearing this song for a while.

Do I still miss my daughter’s presence and the love we shared for each other? Yes. And I will never get over this. My daughter passed away 2 days before Thanksgiving. I have not attended a Thanksgiving dinner or family get together since. It is still too painful for me, even 14 years later.
      Yes, I’m moving forward, but it’s an incredibly slow journey. No, I have not forgotten my daughter, and never will. Sometimes I have dreams of the time we did have together, and it’s painful to wake up knowing she’s gone. Those are very rough days.

    Initially, Simon LeBon wrote this song as a song about the closest friend he had that just passed away. So the song is about losing a friend and experiencing and living and getting through grief. Yeah, he does say if when he gets interviewed that anyone can interpret this song to whatever they feel they relate to and if it helps them then that’s what the song is for. I relate to it as a song living through the loss of someone very close to you.

    This was 90's Duran Duran (1993 to be exact) and you can see how their sound has evolved since the eighties. One of the great things about them is that they are versatile and not afraid to change it up which is probably why they are still selling out arenas around the world and still making new music! I agree with Amber, this is a song open to interpretation but it’s definitely about getting over some type of loss! They are my favorite band since the eighties and I will always be a Duranie!💖💖

    Simon's lyrics are often deep and profound. This was apparently written after a friend's suicide. There's a maturity to this one. Not that their other music wasn't. It was very mature considering how young they were in the 80's, bit these are guys in their 30's---husbands, fathers. So growth has occurred. This is my favorite 90s song of theirs. Just so sad and poignant. Also, it's a crowd pleaser when they do it live.

      The song is about dealing with the loss of Le Bon's childhood friend, David Miles, who passed away from an overdose. Ordinary World (1992) is part 2 of a trilogy about Miles. Part 1 was written after Miles' passing & the song is called Do You Believe In Shame? (1988). Le Bon felt some guilt about not being there for his friend at the time. And part 3 concludes with the track Out Of My Mind (1997), which is also in the motion picture The Saint w/Val Kilmer. All three songs helped Le Bon grieve & get through his loss as much as he could.

    That's a great song, isn't it? Yes, about losing someone dear, through death or through a broken relationship (the bit about pride tearing them apart). And yes, having to figure out a way to reach an "ordinary world," a world without the lost dear one, and making a go of that, best you can.
    The line that always gets me is the one that says, compared to the troubles of the world, "ours is but a little sorrow." What a great lyric. Of course, those "little sorrows" that barely measure on the world's attention, the sorrows of losing a loved one, can be extremely difficult to deal with.

    • @edwardf103

      The song is about Simon Le Bon's (Duran Duran's vocalist & Lyricist) childhood friend who passed away. It is also inspired by the Gulf War 1990-91 to be exact. However, Le Bon, with all of his lyrics/songs, wants the listener to make the meaning whatever it means to them. Ordinary World is part 2 of a trilogy in dealing with the loss of Le Bon's friend, David Miles. Part 1 is Do You Believe In Shame? & part 3 is Out Of My Mind, which was featured in the motion picture The Saint with Val Kilmer.

    Duran are just consistent quality through the years. I don't think I've heard anything I dislike by them. This one, as someone else has said was their "comeback" song in the 90s. Another great one from this time was "Come Undone". Both songs are Duran in a more older, introspective mood imo. All their songs have changed meaning to me over time. I appreciate their earlier work more now. "Ordinary World" has become an anthem of surviving sadness for me, having lost my Mother/best friend a few years ago. Everyone is dealing with suffering to some degree... the end lyrics "Every world is my world" sums this up perfectly. We can take heart that we always overcome sadness and we all share the same feelings at some point. Wonderful reaction as always you two. ❤❤
