    Lyrics
    Well he was Thailand based
    She was an airforce wife
    He used to fly weekends
    It was the easy life
    But then it turned around
    And he began to change
    She didn't wonder then
    She didn't think it strange
    But then he got a call
    He had to leave that night
    He couldn't say too much
    But it would be alright
    He didn't need to pack
    They'd meet the next night
    He had a job to do
    Flying to Cambodia
    And as the nights passed by
    She tried to trace the past
    The way he used to look
    The way he used to laugh
    I guess she'll never know
    What got inside his soul
    She couldn't make it out
    Just couldn't take it all
    He had the saddest eyes
    The girl had ever seen
    He used to cry some nights
    As though he lived a dream
    And as she held him close
    He used to search her face
    As though she knew the truth
    Lost inside Cambodia
    But then a call came through
    They said he'd soon be home
    She had to pack a case
    And they would make a rendez-vous
    But now a year has passed
    And not a single word
    And all the love she knew
    Has disappeared out in the haze
    (Cambodia, don't cry now, no tears now)
    And now the years have passed
    With not a single word
    But there is only one thing left
    I know for sure
    She won't see his face again

Mom and Daddy loved this song, they played it on the radio cassette, during our family trips( a little bit morbid 🤔, just like Hotel California, which was" their song") .... He died 2 years later...😢 I'm sooo grateful to him for those tapes... He left me an invaluable trace of his soul... He left me a treasure.💌❤

      Да, война была в Камбоджи (Кампучии)1967-1975гг. Гражданская война в Камбодже разворачивалась между правительством страны, поддерживаемым США и Южным Вьетнамом, и поддерживаемым Северным Вьетнамом Национальным единым фронтом Кампучии, в котором значительную роль играли партийные структуры и вооружённые формирования местных коммунистов.
      Итогом войны стало падение центрального правительства и приход к власти «красных кхмеров», провозгласивших курс на радикальное переустройство камбоджийского общества с опорой на маоистские концепции. Гражданская война в Камбодже наряду с боевыми действиями в Лаосе и Южном Вьетнаме считается частью Второй Индокитайской войны.
      А в песне поётся про трагическую любовь американской пары, которую рушит эта война. Ну можно сказать антивоенная песня. В те годы в США были очень сильные антивоенные протесты и движения...Демонстрации против этой войны. Ну и песен было много написано антивоенных.@@user-ju3in2dy5n

    The first time I heard this song was so magical!
    I was studying in Prague, I actually just moved in the city and was having a drink with this new friend I just made. As we were waiting for our drinks, this song started playing in the basement of this random bar we were in, and she instantly stared at me with stars in her eyes, I said: what ? She realized I didn’t know the song and yelled « it’s Kim Wilde! ». She started dancing, the lights were purple and the atmosphere magical, and I felt mesmerized by her and the song. After that night, we spent the whole year together. Unforgettable

    Saw Kim and the band live yesterday - she's 62 now! and still sings like her 20 year old self. Her niece Scarlett Wilde, doing backing vocals, has just about the same voice I believe :D
    One of the best concerts I ever attended. The crowd suddenly fell all silent when the first chords of Cambodia came up, wildly danced and cheered to all of it, like Water on Glass, You Came, View From a Bridge, Keep Me Hanging On, and then the hall all but exploded on Kids in America for the great final. We were literally back in the 80s there, awesome!!

    As well as a haunting song, with an emotive narrative, the production was a masterpiece. The backing is like nothing else...the reversed drums, the backing vocals, and synths, just amazing! Add in Kim's excellent vocal, and you have a powerful song that deserves more airplay. Sure we love "kids in America' but kim's catalogue is wide and accomplished, and we need her other stuff played.

      It's obscure in the US but possibly her most well known song worldwide from my monitoring of youtube. Someone said it was #1 for 14 weeks in France and a diamond single. I think the fact she spoke French when touring there endeared her. It just oozed amazing no matter the language barrier. Her pal Nena who she sang with had a tune 99 Luftballoons that resonated in the US like that!

    [Verse 1]
    Well, he was Thailand-based, she was an air force wife
    He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life
    But then it turned around and he began to change
    She didn't wonder then, she didn't think it's strange
    [Verse 2]
    But then he got a call, he had to leave that night
    He couldn't say too much, but it would be alright
    He didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night
    He had a job to do:
    Flying to Cambodia
    [Instrumental Chorus]
    [Verse 3]
    And as the nights passed by, she tried to trace the past
    The way he used to look, the way he used to laugh
    I guess she'll never know, what got inside his soul
    She couldn't make it out, just couldn't take it all
    [Verse 4]
    He had the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen
    He used to cry some nights as though he lived a dream
    And as she held him close he used to search her face
    As though she knew the truth
    Lost inside Cambodia
    [Instrumental Chorus]
    [Verse 5]
    But then a call came through, they said he'd soon be home
    She had to pack a case and they would make a rendezvous
    But now a year has passed and not a single word
    And all the love she knew has disappeared out in the haze
    [Bridge]
    Cambodia
    Don't cry now
    No tears now
    [Instrumental Chorus]
    [Outro]
    And now the years have passed with not a single word
    But there is only one thing left I know for sure:
    She won't see his face again

    Such a catchy, haunting, beloved song from my childhood. But I didn't know English back then at all and was so surprized later with the depth of the lyrics. I thought the disco music couldn't be about such serious real world tragedies like a war. Maybe it makes this song so unique, the juxtaposition of the mindless repetitive sound against the unsettling lyrics. I'm going to google the story how this song was written.

    • @jean-louispech4921
      @jean-louispech4921 2 роки тому +15

      you have Enola Gay from OMD : depth lyrics about war, nuclear bomb, but happy music. Enola gay was the name of the plane bombing Hiroshima, and the name of the mother of the pilot ( he gave her name the name to the plane ) , with the bomb called "little boy", and the lyrics are about this ambiguity, on the first level the song speaks to the mother, but in reality speaks about the plane and the bomb.
      It is not disco, it is new wave.
      In fact if we look well there was several songs from the new wave movement which were about war in the end of the 70's, begining of the 80's.
