I used to be a DJ back in the late 80´s early 90´s and this song was by FAR my #1 of all time. If any of the member of Anything Box read this I just want to say to you : Great job !!!!
Hi! Paul here (keyboardist). I read it this. And it thrills me now in my 50s as much as if you said it when it came out and I was 19. Thank you much the same!!
My band and i had the privilege of opening up for this band in the late 90's...we were called Annabelle 55 from el paso tx...we will for ever be grateful for having shared the stage with this great and iconic band...thank you anything box....club 101 in 1997
I just love this song. So beautiful, so full of youthful idealism. The melody is so sweet. Very sad that this group didn't become bigger than they were.
You can't hide the pain, I can see it scrawled on your empty face. And I feel the hurt, It's in the words you say, they make me want to Scream out to the world, For taking life for granted and I know. You are by my side when I turn to hear you cry, I am so afraid of living in oblivion I am so afraid of living in oblivion Am I so blind? With my eyes turned to a different time or hour. At the end of the day, When we both run down and our hopes are heavy Tell me what you will, 'cause I've got to know the truth inside of you. Can you hear what I say, When I hold you and you scorn the day? I am so afraid of living in oblivion I am so afraid of living in oblivion Living in oblivion Living in oblivion So I ask again, Am I so alone and full of pride? To never speak out This is my world, this is my world Don't tell me now, I won't feel those words, I won't feel the lies they tell Can you hear my scream? It's for everyone, for everyone I am so afraid of living in oblivion I am so afraid of living in oblivion Living in oblivion Living in oblivion La, la, la, la, la, la, in oblivion
A magical song! It will never grow old or be forgotten Thank you for being a part of the soundtrack of my life - you made it better. The band deserved more recognition - but will always live on!
2024 of August and stlll chooses to listen with the songs when I could turn back the hands of time,if only possible(but,not).Here we are,drinking with Ginebra(bilog) while sharing my son our story during our teenage years.How I miss those years
It was the like a last farewell to the 1980’s and New Wave.

A principios de los 90's éramos los orgullosos conocedores de este grupo, que no sonaba en nuestra ciudad, más que en las grabadoras de mi grupo de amigos. Con ellos aprendí el significado de la palabra Oblivion!!
What I enjoy most about Anything Box is that most of their songs are written in free verse and very seldom have a rhyme scheme, so well written and arrange that one doesn’t even notice. Just perfect!
I think i'm about to die crying😭 I can tell you I played this album at least 1000 times when I was 17-18yrs old! NGL I'd give anything to do it all over again!!!!💋
Personal Gore Mode right there with you :) I've just re-discovered this gem...how did I ever forget! nice youtube handle btw....I think I bought Martin Gore's solo album when I was in high school...forget the name tho...Depeche Mode was my first concert ever...Giants Stadium NJ! 1990?
I've only just discovered these musical geniuses and have been hooked on them more addictive than any drug and far less dangerous too just sheer pleasure no pain so underated in fact why are this band not massive real music even in 2023 sounds classy in comparison to most of today's rubbish top notch every tune
I can smell the 80s listening to this. I was just a little kid but my older brothers would listen to this. I remember going to the Army surplus store getting a bare’t and hanging out with my brothers friends with huge hair and playing D&D. This makes me tear up with joy. The 80’s was a magical period for me... for all of us. Close your eyes and tell me where this song took you. 🖤

I was the house DJ at a club in New Jersey called the Pipeline which was Anything Box home base..I was the first DJ to break this song in a club setting..
I remember walking into Musicland back in high school and hearing this playing and asking the sales guy who it was. Then he showed me the Anything Box CD and have been listening to them now for over 30 years. They will never get old!
Those were the great Days for a lot of us here. Young, strong, energetic, full of hope and possibilities, seemed like a lot of things were possible, would get interest from some cute girls. The time went by fast, everyone had their prime time days. Fond memories and some tough times too. Missed loved ones that passed since the 80s. I am thankful for my youthful days in the 80s and 90s!! Now I just listen to the music from that time and remember back in the day.
Soy de Ecuador cumli hoy 40 y la verdad soy fanático, ni existe nada mejor que esto....viva los 80 paseando x el unigénito y saber que mi compatriota forma parte de la mejor etapa de la música, no la clasificó en realidad pero la verdad la baile y a full!
me puse a escuchar hoy el tema Carmen y luego google anything box y me entere que el cantante es nacido en Argentina Claude S. su nombre real Claudio Marcelo Strilio en una entrevista en radio de colombia hablo en español y conto su historia, quizas el hecho de ser latino hace que sus canciones tengan conexion hayan tenido tanto exito en latinoamerica ya que veo muchos comentarios en español !
mi gente mucha canción ...se llama viviendo en el olvido....y por ende cuando la escucho me olvido de lo que soy de lo que estoy haciendo mejor dicho ando en un olvido que maravilla....música que nos transporta a momentos únicos de nuestra vida e inclusive a momentos inolvidables......wili el sabroso.
When I was so young most everything felt beautiful warm and soft innocent and lost with so much love inside, I want to talk to myself and tell myself not to go , stay out of the night and just save myself from me , would everything had felt so beautiful if it hadn't been so tragic?
Awwwww😍😍😍I remember this day 4 months ago, I love the 80-90's. I listen to them everywhere in the country I could be at. Like I am today, right now. I'm in Wyoming. 😅😅😅
muy buena rola tambien la busque por años y hasta q la encontre..me trae muy bonitos recuerdos .de los 80,s esta si es musica no como la de hora ..pobre juventud 😦😦😦
This song reminds me of my mom that passed away.. she lost battle to covid. I work in medical field and couldnt even be with her.so my mom allways toldme to keep on saving lives no matter what. This song makes me be in a world where i can just forget about hurt and pain to be living in a fantasy or day dream to forget whats going on in real world. Even if its a dream to me it helps me dream and feel good when im feeling stressed and down...
OMG. I’m so happy I found this song. I been searching this group since I was in high school. Love you guys. I just bought the whole peace album in iTunes. I cannot stop listening all songs. All the best Andy.
Jajaja.... Siiiii; yo la encontré hace ya un buen tiempo, pero me acuerdo que la busqué por la palabra "oblivion"; porque me gustaba mucho en los 90's (mi época de pre y adolescencia) pero tampoco sabía el título ni quién la cantaba. ¡Cancionsoootaaaa! 🍷

Yo tengo 51 años debe haber más de uno que no se acuerda, yo la encontre por casualidad y me acordé.
Wow. That's awesome cause this song is still hitting hard in.2024
This song needs to be on Spotify!
New wave, new romantic in 2024
Just performed with Anything Box last friday!! Was a dream!!
I used to be a DJ back in the late 80´s early 90´s and this song was by FAR my #1 of all time. If any of the member of Anything Box read this I just want to say to you : Great job !!!!
Hi! Paul here (keyboardist). I read it this. And it thrills me now in my 50s as much as if you said it when it came out and I was 19. Thank you much the same!!
I wish of a time machine! SO I CAN GO BACK TO THE 80'S.....so sad we have to get old I miss the 80's.......Nostalgic!!!
This is one of my favorite songs to play on a road trip.
Not ashamed to be seen singing at the top of my lungs along the highway at all!
I Hear You Absolutely :)
My band and i had the privilege of opening up for this band in the late 90's...we were called Annabelle 55 from el paso tx...we will for ever be grateful for having shared the stage with this great and iconic band...thank you anything box....club 101 in 1997
Wow awesome...!!
I was there!! amazing!
Club101! Was too young but I remember it.
Saludos desde Juárez 🤚🏼
:D And I am honored!
I was 15 when this came out. It spoke to me then and still does.
I used to Daydream with this song at school. I forever love this song.
I just love this song. So beautiful, so full of youthful idealism. The melody is so sweet. Very sad that this group didn't become bigger than they were.
saw the lost 80s concert at mandalay bay in las vegas.... between Anything Box and When in Rome.... i couldve passed away gently...
Esta canción es un libro de lindos recuerdos, donde brillaba el amor y la amistad, saludos desde México
Que gran tema inolvidable maravillosos 80 que nunca se olvidan marzo 2024
Nostalgic. Bringing back elementary days memories. Nothing will beat the New Wave era.
My God !!!!! remember our favourite old memories!!!!
You can't hide the pain,
I can see it scrawled on your empty face.
And I feel the hurt,
It's in the words you say, they make me want to
Scream out to the world,
For taking life for granted and I know.
You are by my side when
I turn to hear you cry,
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Am I so blind?
With my eyes turned to a different time or hour.
At the end of the day,
When we both run down and our hopes are heavy
Tell me what you will,
'cause I've got to know the truth inside of you.
Can you hear what I say,
When I hold you and you scorn the day?
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
So I ask again,
Am I so alone and full of pride?
To never speak out
This is my world, this is my world
Don't tell me now,
I won't feel those words, I won't feel the lies they tell
Can you hear my scream?
It's for everyone, for everyone
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
La, la, la, la, la, la, in oblivion
Awsome!!
Go home my friend
nice
Alguém ai traduz a letra por favor tenkyl
A magical song! It will never grow old or be forgotten Thank you for being a part of the soundtrack of my life - you made it better. The band deserved more recognition - but will always live on!
I love everything by A-Box, but this song is my anthem. You are my hero Claude.
Not afraid to admit that this had me in tears on the first listen. So beautiful.
And it's okay......
Despues de tantos años me acuerdo de esta cancion hoy, fue una sorpresa agradable

I saw Anything Box in 2022 and Claude sounds great live!
El Paso loves Anything Box. I've seen you 10+ times over the last 30 years here and hopefully will continue seeing you 🎹🎶🎵🎼🎧
Yes they do.
Major label bets big on an unknown synth pop band.! They are still active in South America.
Amazing song! It brings back such good memories. It is the innocence and romanticism of junior high

Going to see this band tonight in San Antonio, TX. Expecting an awesome night.
This is my favourite song. I love A Box so much, and Claude is one of my favourite humans. He is simply awesome.

22 of February 2023, love this song.
I love new wave music. The '80s and the early '90s were great times of good musical stuff.

That's badass bro 💪🏾
Great band. Great song.

Awww such good 80's memories Astroworld in Houston during Summers...good times!!!
Southern Star Amphitheater?
where New Order, Book of Love, and Pet Shop, all live - babies back then
Awesome song, awesome little band. Gosh, 28 years ago? Really? Still listen to this album. Just heard j"ust one day" yesterday.
I love this 80's synth pop masterpiece. It still sounds amazin2 today in 2019. The music video is fantastic.
NeWwAVe music will always stay in my heart thank you for the memories
How old you ma men
Those were the great Days for a lot of us here. Young, strong, energetic,
full of hope and possibilities, seemed like a lot of things were possible, would get interest from
some cute girls. The time went by fast, everyone had their prime time days. Fond memories and some tough times too. Missed loved ones that passed since the 80s.
I am thankful for my youthful days in the 80s and 90s!! Now I just listen to the music from that time and remember back in the day.

I remember wonderful times as I listen to this song. One of my favorites! Greetings from Mexico
Sometimes Quarantine takes me wayyyy back in time, back to these songs for example
Huge hit here in Houston back in the day. It received a lot of airplay on 104 KRBE.
Dude I remember that
Living in Oblivion anything box the Best
I think this song can play on repeat for years!!! can we agree???
Yeeeaahh!
Memories from 1989!

Anything box i love living in oblivion
Que joven se veía Claude Strilio, para mi, esta es la mejor canción del mundo... Y si tengo miedo de vivir en el olvido!!!
Yo también me encanta esta canción es tan perfecta nos demuestra muchas cosas .......
En mi segunda vida quiero regresar a esta epoca......
80's regresen por mi!!!!!
Eso esta vien gracias amigos
@Nausicaä Electricidad 1988/90 single release checalo en Wikipedia la version originalmente salió en 88 pero fue popular también en 89 y 90.
God, I love this song
This is the first song that I ever loved. I was 6. Many many years later, still the same.
Canciones como esta y otras en la decada de los 80... si no sonaban en una fiesta-reunion simplemente NO ERA FIESTA...que buenos recuertos....
The singer really seems to empathize with the person he's talking to. Empathy is one thing I haven't seen very much in most songs.
From mexico september 2020 👍 i remeber my mom whit this song now im 33 haha i love that song
Still have the Cassette. Holy Crap. Awesome Tune. reminds me of the time I use to spend parking with my ex-wife when we were teenagers.
me puse a escuchar hoy el tema Carmen y luego google anything box y me entere que el cantante es nacido en Argentina Claude S. su nombre real Claudio Marcelo Strilio en una entrevista en radio de colombia hablo en español y conto su historia, quizas el hecho de ser latino hace que sus canciones tengan conexion hayan tenido tanto exito en latinoamerica ya que veo muchos comentarios en español !
I was depressed in El Paso Texas. Living there, you guys save me.
Save me.❤
that was good for you bro❤️

I love this song! I can listen to it everyday!
One of the greatest unsung new wave bands....and from Rutgers University!
When I was so young most everything felt beautiful warm and soft innocent and lost with so much love inside, I want to talk to myself and tell myself not to go , stay out of the night and just save myself from me , would everything had felt so beautiful if it hadn't been so tragic?
Such an awesome feel-good song from the late 80s-early 90s. I miss that era, when everything seemed happier and less worrisome.
VERDADERAMENTE NOSTALGICO, NO HABIA VUELTO A ESCUCHAR ESTA CANCION HACIA YA MUCHO MUCHO TIEMPO.
One of the best bands. I went to see them in concert in the 1990s in Juarez, Mexico.
Sé que son Argentinos, lo supe desde los 80s. Música fascinante, de las cosas que me siento afortunado de haber vivido.
Let me tell you, Anything Box, day one I heard this Oblivion song, I fell in absolute love with it
Awwwww😍😍😍I remember this day 4 months ago, I love the 80-90's. I listen to them everywhere in the country I could be at. Like I am today, right now. I'm in Wyoming. 😅😅😅
Anyone @2019? I still love this song. Reminiscing my childhood days while listening to this song... new wave forever! The best!
The best version ever. Love this song!!
new wave song never dies
Oh my god such awesome memories. This album formed my love for New Wave music during my teen years. I love every song on this album.
muy buena rola tambien la busque por años y hasta q la encontre..me trae muy bonitos recuerdos .de los 80,s esta si es musica no como la de hora ..pobre juventud 😦😦😦
Si....exitoss..
No es de los 80's múy cerca de los 80's pero fué grabada en 1990 Salu2✌
Jeje casi los 80 , la idea es esa , el estilo es casi 80
what a marvelous song... Love it with all my heart and soul
Who’s listening this song un 2024? Grettings from Argentina
Me, in Arizona,USA! I actually was lucky enough to see them live in a small club in the early 2000s. This is such a nostalgic trip 😊
Argentina 2024 ❤
Me Philippines😊
Me in México, i just discovered this song that i heard in a club just a months ago, im 39 years old, and i love this song!!!!
Me since 1990!!
one of my fave during 1990...from Philippinres
This song reminds me of my mom that passed away.. she lost battle to covid. I work in medical field and couldnt even be with her.so my mom allways toldme to keep on saving lives no matter what. This song makes me be in a world where i can just forget about hurt and pain to be living in a fantasy or day dream to forget whats going on in real world. Even if its a dream to me it helps me dream and feel good when im feeling stressed and down...
If you let me suggest one song of AB,let me suggest you Carmen.Try to hear the lyrics...I think you'll find them plenty of meaning to your heart...
Hell yeah ! This is a mega classic jam !!!!!
OMG. I’m so happy I found this song. I been searching this group since I was in high school. Love you guys. I just bought the whole peace album in iTunes. I cannot stop listening all songs. All the best Andy.
this a more lovely Version!
This kind of music will never die
Wow, this song makes me want to cry. I'm a sucker for ethereal vocals like this. It reminds me of Limhal singing The Never Ending Story.
Hoy día 7 de octubre del 2021 escucho de nuevo está hermosa canción después de buscarla por casi 3 décadas increíble misma emoción
Jajaja.... Siiiii; yo la encontré hace ya un buen tiempo, pero me acuerdo que la busqué por la palabra "oblivion"; porque me gustaba mucho en los 90's (mi época de pre y adolescencia) pero tampoco sabía el título ni quién la cantaba.
