      @@craigmccall583 the pleasant problem, if one can say, about Pet Shop Boys' songs is that with Neil's absolutely unique but highly focussed singing is that he makes even not so ordinary songs sound greater than great, he's that good. Quite unmatched. At least among British singers, if Freddy Mercury's vocal range is regarded as being among the widest, I am sure Neil Tennant too has his own place. And may be Robert Plant would also rank among the best.

    Just extraordinary. When you have never found true love and float through an endless life of relationships you can take or leave. Not just the Smiths you can dance to but Samuel Beckett to a disco beat. Imagine, this was mainstream pop music. Genius.

    Neil Tenant is my favourite vocalist, you can literally transcribe every word of the song when he sings. His clear elocution does not even for microsecond means, losing the rhythm and meter of this song. Awesome band, through and through

Congratulate them too?! Sorry but this can't be done! Respect is something that has to be earned...not demand (At least, that's what we say about it, here in Greece in such occasions)! If this guy, wants my respect, then he has to earn it...not demand it, while, at his end, he's doing absolutely nothing, so that I can earn his!

    They have always used the orchestra to give their songs WAY more depth. This is another example of how pop and classical can meet, be great friends, shake hands, nod with agreement and then calmly walk away with respect for each other. Such a great band and song!

    • @crystalidentity
      @crystalidentity 2 роки тому +4

      Nooooo - Mr. Pop and Mr. Classical didn't merely shake hands, nod with agreement, and calmly walk away as "great friends". They met, made eyes, flirted, began to dance together seductively, then just started making out like crazy in the middle of the dance floor!!! 💞💓❤‍🔥At least THAT'S what this song is telling to me... The story of their passionate love affair! 😻🎶🎶
