I turned 63 today and I am setting alone in my small apartment listening to this and truly feeling the heartache of getting old in a world that does not care for anything more than youth and money. It all passes so quickly. One day you're 16 and the world is bright and shiny and new and the next it is all old and broken and will never be fixed! Thank you for this song for my birthday!
I'm 52 years old. The Earth has been spinning for millions of years, and I got to live on it at the same time as The Pet Shop Boys. And my life is ever the richer for it.
I'm 52 years old too. In the last few years my research into ancient and modern cosmology, ancient languages (particularly Hebrew and Greek), occult symbolism and secret societies, and plasma physics has led me to the conclusion that Earth is not spinning or moving at all and is a little over 6,000 years old.
@@SSa12406 Do you have the evidence to back up your claims? That's all that counts, the only thing that counts. If so, I would encourage you to share your findings with the global Scientific community and collect your Nobel Prize.
@@SubconsciousGatherer The Michelson-Morley, Michelson-Gale, Sagnac Effect, and Airy's Failure experiments all proved that Earth is stationary. Then, along came the fuzzy-haired crackpot Einstein with his bogus equations to obfuscate the proof. WMAP also proved geocentrism. The problem is, the scientific community is mostly 1. controlled by the ancient mystery religion who know the truth but promote a lie (heliocentrism/gravity/relativity). This includes NASA. 2. blinded by the influence of those lies. There are no lies in the inspired Scriptures and they reveal geocentrism and the true nature of the cosmos within the languages used (Hebrew and Greek). For example, Amos 9:6 describes the cosmos as a multi-layered torus formed from electromagnetic "bands" (Hebrew: _aguddah_). Genesis 8:2 describes those bands as forming a lattice (Hebrew: _arubbah_). You can get an idea of this magnetic lattice structure with a homemade ferrocell and a magnet. The sun, moon, and stars are all contained within that torus which is generated by Earth's electromagnetic core. It rotates once per day. The entire universe is electromagnetic. There is no gravity. The Scriptures also reveal that this powerful ancient secret society also control governments and empires, past and present, which includes their scientific communities. (Revelation 17:9) In addition, the ancient occult fleur-de-lis symbol and the Egyptian djed pillar represent the backbone of that torus. You can see the symbol everywhere you go, including on and in ancient religious and government buildings, and even on railings and ironworks at the end of people's driveways and roofs, sometimes with the solar cross integrated. The man who invented gravity, Isaac Newton, was an occultist who was Grand Master of a secret society known as the Priory of Sion. Their emblem is, in part, the fleur-de-lis. I have created videos revealing this knowledge and I also present more evidence in my Quora science Space. Believe me, this knowledge will soon be validated. (Daniel 12:4) Then I will receive my "Nobel Prize" from my nobel God who sent me to restore all these things and to bring light to all nations. (Matthew 17:11; Isaiah 49:5,6)
Considering I originally got into Pet Shop Boys back in 1986 because they were the nearest thing I could find to Soft Cell after Soft Cell disbanded in 1984, this is a simultaneously curious and very welcome convergence :)
@@TheEmptytube If I'm honest, I'm oddly unmoved by anything I've heard from the forthcoming album so far. But I have it on pre-order and remain quietly hopeful because I always liked the "album tracks" more than the singles with Soft Cell :)
OMG! What a beautiful surprise! It sounds great though strange at a 1st glance! Marc seems to be in a good place regardless it has passed nearly 40 years since Soft Cell's prime!
Great to see video , were have all those years gone. Heard this song on Great BBC Radio 2 Steve Wright, US radio is Mostly crap. So if reading this in USA ,check out real radio station that plays great music ,like this , just connect with Alexa or on the net.
I am 75 years old and after all the doom and gloom what a brilliant song, brings back many memories, Soft Cell and PSB at their best, can't wait to get the Album.
I have traveled the world. I will turn 56. I remember dancing as a teenager to softcell in Los Angeles. Travel the world. It stretches life out to be much longer. Instead of living in the same city. Working the same job. Accept less money and less things to see the world!! It’s incredible!! If your young and reading this. Travel. Travel. Travel.
At the time, Neill Tennant was very against drum machine, instead of a drum player, He put Culture Club down in Smash Hits magerzine for using drum machine, s & 6 months on the Pet Shop boys, Who's using drum machine now !!!!
I'm 55 so was partying in the eighties. Soooo uplifted by a classic electro pop song from the best in the business. Perfectly timed to lift the heart and bring back happy memories. Thanks boys, an inspiration as you have always been.
I'm 55, but I now realize that I listened to these soul-sucking kreeps in the '80s because they had some Kool sounds Now, @ 55, I just realized that these 'guys' have run outta dough & are trying to steal it from people who might be struggling later in their lives. Hey Pet Shop'Boys & Soft-Cell...go FFF yourselves. 😀
I'm 23 and seeing all the comments made me see the song with another meaning, I became sensitive to knowing that life is ephemeral for everyone and at some point we have all felt afraid of life no matter the age. A hug to everyone and let's enjoy this great song!
The interesting mix of people in the video is so cool. The lady in the pink dress when she makes eye contact with the camera at 1:55! Her eyes are captivating! The punk lady is very beautiful too.
What a brilliant song and video, bringing together two of my favourite groups. I’ve just turned 55 so this song rings true for me. I reflect on my youth clubbing in the 80’s with not a care in the world. So very different to today, as I struggle with growing older and the many difficulties it brings (I now have early onset dementia). Thanks Marc, Dave, Neil and Chris for such a brilliant thought provoking song.
Brilliant song. One minute, it was the 80s, and then, in a blink of eye, it's 2023. Sad in one way as you've got less years in front of you, but wouldn't change a thing. What a great era I was part of.
@@ghosthroughx9292 Sadly it's true. These legends are still making FANTASTIC music and all young people care about is Tick and Tock and whatever plastic manufactured-bullshit pop tune. That's OK these guys have nothing to prove to anyone. We know that they are amazing and killing it at 70!
@@jensstickan168not only that, but I also felt that the Pet Shop Boys lost the popularity and interest from the people around late 90s, when the both Pet Shop Boys members turned into 40s.
I nearly cried when I found out about this. Just wonderful!! Soft Cell and PSB, I just can’t express my excitement and emotions on this. This has been a dream since 1986 for me.
Love it. Soft Cell and PSB. Off to see PSB in May this year (finally it's happening!). Great song, cheerful, love the lyrics. Wish we were still in the 80's but life must go forward. Great music by talented artists.
In such bad times .. a blink of light .. brighter than the Sun .... Great Song of two of the Iconic Acts of the 80s .... and now i have since 8 Hours a catchy tune ...... Love Marc and Neil singing together. More of this please
Seeing such great pillars of the 1980's music world always takes me back to the 1980's as I refuse to get older and will exercise, stay fit and on edge for life!
The older i get, the more appreciate the serenity of the wisdom ive gained. I love life, knowledge, conversation, food, and yes, even technology. I surround myself with both younger and older people, and i'm happy enough in my own situation. That of the world in general, i fear for.
Meine russische Frau liebt eure Musik. Fühlt tiefen Schmerz und Frieden bei euch. Gerade in diesen Tagen seit ihr wertvoll für eine Generation. Das ist der Schatz eurer jahrelangen Musikarbeit.
It is a pity he is peddling those evil face masks. The rest of the video is charming except for the sinister face mask part which is totally wicked evil and unnecessary.
Such a great tune. I'll be 60 next year, and have no idea where the time has gone. It's frightening, really. I first started listening to Soft Cell in 1981, when I was 18. I still love their music. A favourite track of theirs is also about aging: it's the achingly sad 'Youth' from 'Non Stop Erotic Cabaret'. It gets more real the older I get, I have found.
I'm just a few years younger, I was the kid who dyed their hair black in my parents peach bathroom in the 1980s (that was a bit of a to do I can tell you!) back combing it as I smoked a marlboro red at my open bedroom window, burned patchouli and Sandalwood incense and played Siouxsie and the Banshees Juju cassette (and a Gothic mix tape from a friend) applying back eye liner (badly) and packing my black canvas bag with a sketch book, pencils, cassettes, batteries (for the boom box) cigarettes and a 2 litre bottle of cider. We may be getting older, but damn we have some insane and brilliant memories!
@@cocteaut - Apart from the cigarettes, me too! I live in a rural part of the UK, and in the early 1980's, some of the inhabitants weren't blessed with much imagination - I was once refused service in a country pub, for the simple reason that I was wearing black nail polish. For some reason, that offended the landlord. No mention was made of my hair, or the bangles, or the eyeshadow. No. The nail polish really annoyed him. My friends and I had no trouble from the other drinkers in the pub - indeed, a few had a go at the landlord, when he refused to serve me.
Amazing, loved both of the bands in the 80s, loved their talent and their music. Just turned 57 recently and have been nostalgic listening to a lot of the 80s music recently and someone just recommended this to me on one of the comments I left. Oh wow, this is so amazing, still so good and enjoy it just as much as I have their stuff from before. Amazing, never heard this before and love it.
The beauty of this song, other than the wonderful melody, is the fact that we have grown up - and old - with the PSBs and Soft Cell, and together we feel our age, the love of a bygone era, and the fear of death, but also hope for our lives yet to be lived. The coming together of both bands makes us feel we are now all in it together. I think ‘let’s get out of this life’ means we have the opportunity for a new and different life, for the rest of our lives.
...i was a teen in the 80's...turn 50 this year...i was still like back in the days...still got my hopes 'n dreams...after being a soldier 'n a pile of shit that i've been going through i was still full of energy...after this...i think this is called...a song maybe...all i wanna do is close my eyes forever so that i can forget this noise and those pictures...pure horror...damn
This videoa shows what I love about London. The eccentricity, the grittiness and those wonderful people. Was living in Tooting-Bec, Soho and Mile End 1996-2005 and it was marvellous. The small shops, little cafe in Soho and greasy spoon in Leytonstone. All gone now. Strangely the video is so nostalgic and pulls certain strings in my mind...love it! Marc's voice is still so magic btw
It’s taken 40 years for this collaboration to happen, and they’ve produced something (in both the song and the video) that totally sums up how I feel about this decade so far and heading into my late 30s. It’s like an anthem against mediocrity. “Let’s Get Out of This Life. I’m Afraid and Alone. Paralysed- in the Purple Zone.” Instant masterpiece.
Proof there is hope for music after all! Really enjoyed the song and the video was brilliant. Very artistic and wonderfully directed, gets the song's message across perfectly. Just remember though, we don't get old, we get great.
Love this big time my wife heard it and said thats 4 or 5 songs put in to 1 ,Brilliant I am 52 she 61 ,so sad her cremation is today, all the best guys x
Ein wirklich schönes Musikvideo. Die Betrachter fühlen mit dem Clip. 25 Jahre Generation, von 20 bis 55 (auch darüber) hört eure besondere Musik und Stimme. Danke das ihr Soft Cell und Pet shop boys in dieser Zeit für uns Menschen da seid. Ihr wart Pioniere der feinen Popkultur. Eure Musik ist zum Fühlen. ❤❤ 0:41
It's truly astounding that these 80's relics are writing better songs than all the youngsters today. Millennials and Gen Z are "Paralyzed in the Mediocre Zone."
Thank you so much for all the outpouring of love! You made my lonely birthday a very special one indeed. I never thought that there would even be one response well enough hundreds! Thank you once more. A very special thank you to Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys for releasing this wonderful song on youtube. The song and all the good people have truly helped me through a rough period in my life! Love and Peace Michael W. Moses
Great song from the pet shop boys and soft cell and great video as well and also sofe cell and the pet shop boys should have profamce this live on top of the pops in the 1980st in the UK and this needs to be played on bbc radio 1 and 2
WOW! SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL . I RESURRECTED FROM MY TOMB! Thank you Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys for this wondelfull and full of life track! Your fan for many years.
We all age but the PSB songs live on...for decades and decades more I am sure. It has been a long way since the day I fell in love with the first PSB song I listened to (Left to My Own Devices!) when I was in my teens...!
Hello everyone! This year on my birthday I felt much better about my life and I owe a lot of my feeling better to the almost nonstop outpouring of love from all the kind and thoughtful people on UA-cam! This year my niece and I drove something like ten hours to go to Chicago on the 5th of April to see "Depech Mode" for my birthday! Great concert and had a wonderful time in Chicago! I had not been to Chicago in 40 years! It has changed so much! Thanks so very much to "Soft Cell" and the "Pet Shop Boys" for this great song and video. It is as if they have read our hearts and minds and recorded it for us to all ponder! Much Love to All!
@@dianeplamondon125 Bonjour, Diane. Je vous remercie beaucoup. votre souhait est devenu l'une des petites joies de mon quotidien! Hello, Diane. Thank you very much. your wish has become one of the little joys of my daily life!
Two UK super talents who started way back in the 80s are still going on strong in 2022 with this poptastic single. Has elements of "Always on my mind" which I truly love. This will be coming out on CD single April 2022 and a 12" vinyl out November 2022.
@@LostwaveObsession NEVER MIND I JUST FOUND. WHY THE HELL IS NOT BEING RELEASED UNTIL NOVEMBER 2022??!! NINE MONTHS FROM NOW THAT IS CRAZY, THE CD MAXI IS COMING OUT APRIL 2022 AND DOWNLOAD IS OUT NOW. THIS IS NOT GOOD MARKETING IMO. ANYWAY I AM HAPPY ABOUT THE VINYL RELEASE.
@@garypamatat3167 It's crazy isn't it. I think the best thing will be is to order both separately because a 6-7 month wait for the cd (packing both together) would test my patience!
Even though there is a limited audience for this today, it's so great Soft Cell and PSB remembered us Gen Xers, as well as many boomers. No doubt this track would have been a well known song in the 80s if released back then...possibly even top 40 potential...great job guys!
I just saw PSB last night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and they were sold out two days in in a row so maybe limited but there's still an audience.
I would lke to thank you and the Pet shop boys, for a great song, us old ones feel the words, this is my favorite song. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. love xx
Im60 next year..great song..and the 80s will never fade..youngsters now love these songs! My niece is 22 and said I love 80s music! New music is crap..tells me alot! Enjoy!

The older i get, the more appreciate the serenity of the wisdom ive gained. I love life, knowledge, conversation, food, and yes, even technology. I surround myself with both younger and older people, and i'm happy enough in my own situation. That of the world in general, i fear for.
Same here mate x
Meine russische Frau liebt eure Musik.
Fühlt tiefen Schmerz und Frieden bei euch. Gerade in diesen Tagen seit ihr wertvoll für eine Generation.
Das ist der Schatz eurer jahrelangen Musikarbeit.
Great Colaboration
Congratulacion !!!
Merry Christmas
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Buenas vibras

Love this song from very talented people. Thanks Soft Cell and The Pet shop boys 👍🙂
I immediatly recognize Chris Lowe's synths sound. Undeniable and so unique
Just subscribed 👍👍👍
Chris’s fingerprints are all over this wonderful comeback💛
It is a pity he is peddling those evil face masks. The rest of the video is charming except for the sinister face mask part which is totally wicked evil and unnecessary.
Such a great tune. I'll be 60 next year, and have no idea where the time has gone. It's frightening, really. I first started listening to Soft Cell in 1981, when I was 18. I still love their music.
A favourite track of theirs is also about aging: it's the achingly sad 'Youth' from 'Non Stop Erotic Cabaret'. It gets more real the older I get, I have found.
I get you am 60 in nov 😁
Youth... Beauty is skindeep...
My favourite track of theirs is still "Sex Dwarf" (the "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret" version).
I'm just a few years younger, I was the kid who dyed their hair black in my parents peach bathroom in the 1980s (that was a bit of a to do I can tell you!) back combing it as I smoked a marlboro red at my open bedroom window, burned patchouli and Sandalwood incense and played Siouxsie and the Banshees Juju cassette (and a Gothic mix tape from a friend) applying back eye liner (badly) and packing my black canvas bag with a sketch book, pencils, cassettes, batteries (for the boom box) cigarettes and a 2 litre bottle of cider. We may be getting older, but damn we have some insane and brilliant memories!
@@cocteaut - Apart from the cigarettes, me too!
I live in a rural part of the UK, and in the early 1980's, some of the inhabitants weren't blessed with much imagination - I was once refused service in a country pub, for the simple reason that I was wearing black nail polish. For some reason, that offended the landlord. No mention was made of my hair, or the bangles, or the eyeshadow. No. The nail polish really annoyed him. My friends and I had no trouble from the other drinkers in the pub - indeed, a few had a go at the landlord, when he refused to serve me.
Just live in the moment that reminds you of happiness. 1987. Lol
С новым годом!!!
I cannot wait for this album! My love for this band is as ardent now as it was in 1981 when I first heard Memorabilia.
...in Torremolinos?
It's available on torrent sites already, albeit without this Pet Shop Boys duet.
sleaze and sex dwarf are a couple of my favourite of marcs songs.
Chill Music 2022 ua-cam.com/video/UJ2emjYDjuw/v-deo.html
My favorite one is “Tainted Love” and “Where Did Our Love Go.”
Amazing, loved both of the bands in the 80s, loved their talent and their music. Just turned 57 recently and have been nostalgic listening to a lot of the 80s music recently and someone just recommended this to me on one of the comments I left. Oh wow, this is so amazing, still so good and enjoy it just as much as I have their stuff from before. Amazing, never heard this before and love it.
The beauty of this song, other than the wonderful melody, is the fact that we have grown up - and old - with the PSBs and Soft Cell, and together we feel our age, the love of a bygone era, and the fear of death, but also hope for our lives yet to be lived. The coming together of both bands makes us feel we are now all in it together. I think ‘let’s get out of this life’ means we have the opportunity for a new and different life, for the rest of our lives.
The more I listen to this, the harder it hits
We all lives in the purple zone!
I am exploring it, decades after decades, still the same but different at the same time.
...i was a teen in the 80's...turn 50 this year...i was still like back in the days...still got my hopes 'n dreams...after being a soldier 'n a pile of shit that i've been going through i was still full of energy...after this...i think this is called...a song maybe...all i wanna do is close my eyes forever so that i can forget this noise and those pictures...pure horror...damn
Hey there I get exactly what you are saying mu love x
Made me cry for some reason... that's what good music does :)
I can relate
It has a melancholic vibe to it like most happy music has, it's not that uncommon to have one that makes one melancholic.
So did I, With a big smile.
I'm crying
Me too
This videoa shows what I love about London. The eccentricity, the grittiness and those wonderful people. Was living in Tooting-Bec, Soho and Mile End 1996-2005 and it was marvellous. The small shops, little cafe in Soho and greasy spoon in Leytonstone. All gone now. Strangely the video is so nostalgic and pulls certain strings in my mind...love it! Marc's voice is still so magic btw
This is Awesome, the 2 Greats together Soft Cell and. PET Shop boys . WoW 🙂💞🌠🌻❤️🎵
It’s taken 40 years for this collaboration to happen, and they’ve produced something (in both the song and the video) that totally sums up how I feel about this decade so far and heading into my late 30s. It’s like an anthem against mediocrity.
“Let’s Get Out of This Life. I’m Afraid and Alone. Paralysed- in the Purple Zone.”
Instant masterpiece.
This gives me Always On My Mind and I Feel Love vides. Love it, well done guys!
I thought the same thing. I love it!
Right!
Yes reminds me of Always on my Mind

ВЫ ЛУЧШИЕ!!!!!!!
Proof there is hope for music after all! Really enjoyed the song and the video was brilliant. Very artistic and wonderfully directed, gets the song's message across perfectly. Just remember though, we don't get old, we get great.
Lovely Video 🥰Whit lots of Love❤even we get older......Thats Life ....For Everybody❤Take Care ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this big time my wife heard it and said thats 4 or 5 songs put in to 1 ,Brilliant I am 52 she 61 ,so sad her cremation is today, all the best guys x
In 1982 I turned 20, was a young gay man in a big city alone....
...this song takes me right back to those days, I wouldn't change a thing.
Incroyable cette union artistique pour notre plus grand plaisir
Best song i ever heard,for many years back.Masterpiece deluxe
catchy
Wow that's soooo PSB !!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍🤩🤩
Wonderful rousing song which Soft Cell played during their recent tour. The audience loved it.
Love it, synth stabs behind the chorus remind me of always on my mind
Ein wirklich schönes Musikvideo.
Die Betrachter fühlen mit dem Clip.
25 Jahre Generation, von 20 bis 55 (auch darüber) hört eure besondere Musik und Stimme.
Danke das ihr Soft Cell und Pet shop boys in dieser Zeit für uns Menschen da seid. Ihr wart Pioniere der feinen Popkultur. Eure Musik ist zum Fühlen. ❤❤ 0:41
It's truly astounding that these 80's relics are writing better songs than all the youngsters today. Millennials and Gen Z are "Paralyzed in the Mediocre Zone."
Relics? I'd rather say treasures :)
@@0504Revati
I meant to say, treasured relic.
Sooo So true... Very well said...
The 80's song that is forever in our hearts!
Thank you so much for all the outpouring of love!
You made my lonely birthday a very special one indeed.
I never thought that there would even be one response
well enough hundreds! Thank you once more.
A very special thank you to Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys
for releasing this wonderful song on youtube.
The song and all the good people have truly helped me
through a rough period in my life!
Love and Peace
Michael W. Moses
Great song from the pet shop boys and soft cell and great video as well and also sofe cell and the pet shop boys should have profamce this live on top of the pops in the 1980st in the UK and this needs to be played on bbc radio 1 and 2
I feel the same way 1983 was the best year of my life 😢
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!I m back in my Wonderful 80's!!!Tears and Chills ❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW! SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL . I RESURRECTED FROM MY TOMB! Thank you Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys for this wondelfull and full of life track! Your fan for many years.
Me too! Great sound and brill track! 🙌❤
My Dad was a hugh PSB fan..he died just as this song was released...he would have loved it..great tune
Your dad would so proud of you for sharing this x God bless and sorry x
God bless your Dad. Lost mine recently. Take care
We all age but the PSB songs live on...for decades and decades more I am sure. It has been a long way since the day I fell in love with the first PSB song I listened to (Left to My Own Devices!) when I was in my teens...!
Hello everyone!
This year on my birthday I felt much better about my life and I owe a lot of my feeling better to the almost nonstop outpouring of love from all the kind and thoughtful people on UA-cam!
This year my niece and I drove something like ten hours to go to Chicago on the 5th of April to see "Depech Mode" for my birthday! Great concert and had a wonderful time in Chicago!
I had not been to Chicago in 40 years! It has changed so much!
Thanks so very much to "Soft Cell" and the "Pet Shop Boys" for this great song and video. It is as if they have read our hearts and minds and recorded it for us to all ponder!
Much Love to All!
Bonjour Michael. Je vous souhaite des millions de petits bonheurs tous les jours de votre vie. La vie est souvent difficile, mais c'est la vie

Bonjour, Diane.
Je vous remercie beaucoup. votre souhait est devenu l'une des petites joies de mon quotidien!
Hello, Diane.
Thank you very much. your wish has become one of the little joys of my daily life!
Two UK super talents who started way back in the 80s are still going on strong in 2022 with this poptastic single. Has elements of "Always on my mind" which I truly love. This will be coming out on CD single April 2022 and a 12" vinyl out November 2022.
Definitely. Oh and there's a 12" too!
@@LostwaveObsession NEVER MIND I JUST FOUND. WHY THE HELL IS NOT BEING RELEASED UNTIL NOVEMBER 2022??!! NINE MONTHS FROM NOW THAT IS CRAZY, THE CD MAXI IS COMING OUT APRIL 2022 AND DOWNLOAD IS OUT NOW. THIS IS NOT GOOD MARKETING IMO. ANYWAY I AM HAPPY ABOUT THE VINYL RELEASE.
@@garypamatat3167 It's crazy isn't it. I think the best thing will be is to order both separately because a 6-7 month wait for the cd (packing both together) would test my patience!
Where did you find this information? I want to pre-order the Cd single in April 2022.
@@d.sussenbach2646 at lexer music uk the cd maxi is there for pre sale at 7.00 gbp not including shipping. Have a great day.
Another great song by the Boys... they still know how to make em they way they always did... long live Neil & Chris (and Marc).
Even though there is a limited audience for this today, it's so great Soft Cell and PSB remembered us Gen Xers, as well as many boomers. No doubt this track would have been a well known song in the 80s if released back then...possibly even top 40 potential...great job guys!
I just saw PSB last night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and they were sold out two days in in a row so maybe limited but there's still an audience.
Indeed. I'm a Xennial or late Gen-Xer and I love PSB. I was never a big fan of Soft Cell, though.
This aged poorly....
THEY GOT TOP 1 IN THE UK SINGLES CHARTS
Edit: (for vinyl)
I would lke to thank you and the Pet shop boys, for a great song, us old ones feel the words, this is my favorite song. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. love xx
Im60 next year..great song..and the 80s will never fade..youngsters now love these songs! My niece is 22 and said I love 80s music! New music is crap..tells me alot! Enjoy!
"Always On My Mind" meets "Go West". Nice!
Exactly what I'm thinking!
A men's choir would have been the cherry of the cake.
@@winterland2011 lleva coristas la canción,
@@juanjosecasafranca5725 Coro a lo "ON SOCIAL MEDIA".. Y con menos bpms, ésta canción tendría otro sonido, en mi opinión, más auténtico.
Totally agree!
Yes 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. I Love the Song in der Kalten Welt da draußen brauchen wir genau solche Lieder Thanks PSB and Soft Cell. Habe mir den Text übersetzen mal durchgelesen das Lied ist noch Trauriger als ich dachte aber so zutreffend
Thanks 😉
Soft Cell usłyszałem jeszcze w podstawówce, wielką przyjemność mi sprawili tym utworem razem z Pet Shop Boys. Trzymaj się Marc i dbaj o zdrowie!
One of those songs the more you listen to it, the better it sounds.
Indeed ❤
I just discovered this gem the other day and I cannot agree with you more.
