      ​@@CuzImAzzI never thought I would see a song about the crisis of social apathy being described as "shallow", but here we are I guess. What made you think of the song as shallow? Do you think Olivers Army by Elvis Costello is shallow too? What would constitute a meaningful song for you? Genuinely curious.

    • @suzanne5807
      @suzanne5807 Рік тому +9

      @@CuzImAzz I can kind of see your point. But this song has always spoken to me of the importance of being present in your life, and caring about society. The line "American businessmen snap up Van Goghs for the price of a hospital wing" really hits hardest for me, society places so much value on intrinsically worthless things (no hate on Van Gogh, but I think even he would disapprove of the amount of money exchanged for one of his paintings) whereas even human life is not valued as much as the almighty dollar.

      Ran away to America in the 90's to escape the Poll Tax - one night I walked over a bridge on the I CW and there was someone in the booth who's job it is to open the bridge for boats. They were just sat in there with a little TV and snacks. This song sprang to mind, just mind boggling that you could sit in a booth all night as a job. In the film 'Benjamin Button' he does it amongst other nocturnal distractions.

      The Lord's mercy often rides to the door of our heart upon the black horse of affliction.
      John 3:16-18
      16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

      Indeed, I am 50 and regret the wasted time and not appreciating the years gone by. It is 30 years today since Margaret Thatcher resigned, one of the most dramatic events of my lifetime. I remember the sense of shock so well- one of those events when you know where you were.

    When I first heard this song I was 19. It opened something inside me only music can do. A few years later I was on stage playing my own songs with a band on my acoustic guitar. I'm still playing now and 52. It's been a long time old friend see you soon x

    First heard this whilst living in Germany in early 1990. In those days, a lot of early afternoon German TV revolved around educational programmes. Vividly remember one show dissecting the lyrics, and it moved me deeply then. The song stands up to scrutiny 30+ years later as a testament to human inertia in the face of monotony and corruption.

    Best "pointlessness of life" song ever... And hearing the lyrics now, whilst technology has changed a few things ("secretaries turn off typewriters" would be "secretaries close down their laptops" or something similar now, 35 years on), we still sing along like before regardless... The more things change, the more they stay the same...

    Chris Evans played this on the R1 Breakfast show. When it finished he said something like "After the 7.30 news I am supposed to come back with (some manufactuerd pop hit)". He came back from the news and cued this back in. I imagine he got a rocket for that, but We'll Played Chris.

    This was an MTV fave back in the late 80's so it brings back good memories. I remember camping alone at Buttermere in the Lake District while the wind and rain howled. I was cold, wet and miserable and this song was playing on my transistor radio. Half way through the song the batteries faded and died leaving me in silence in the dark. Luckily no one was there to hear me weep.
