  • "Too Bad You're So Beautiful" (from All You Need Is Now, 2011) to me is right up there with the best of Duran Duran's early material: upbeat hooks, Nick's melodic riffs, John's driving bass, and Simon's haunting voice all combining to lift you up to a space of auditory bliss. Roger hitting 16th notes on the snare (5:38) is right out of the Hold Back the Rain playbook (check out • Hold Back the Rain (Si... . The AYNIN album of course has other not-so-subtle hints to older DD material, especially Girl Panic (the opening drum pattern being beat-per-beat the same as Girls on Film) and The Man Who Stole a Leopard (basically The Chauffeur 2.0).
    I felt that TBYSB deserved a "Night Version" (extended mix) of its own, so I took a crack at it. This version, like my "Ice Queen mix" ( • Duran Duran - Too Bad ... ), takes out the "Lay me on your bed" section before the chorus. It's just a personal preference - I like the song better without it. If you're wondering about the intro, all I did was use a simple reverse effect - my own little homage to "Rio" there.
    Special thanks to Yarri Vesto/UA-cam user "ub40the" for uploading an instrumental version of the song ( • Video ), which was essential for creating this Night Version. Everything in this mix is from the original and instrumental versions - no added synths. Enjoy!

    Duran Duran is one of the most underrated bands in pop/rock! They melded new wave, rock, pop, and funk in such a classy and perfect way. No other band sounded like them. Visually they were superb as well. Good looking dudes with modern fashion and beautiful models in their videos? I envied these guys as gods as a kid. I still do!

      While most groups try to find their style and recycle music ideas under it, DD blatantly took ideas from Japan the band, pink Floyd, funk, house, American style, and built original songs with it. So we are left with original songs and very good ones. Top notch productions, image, they are a class on their own. They owned pop from 1982 to 1985 and ANY successful band in the 80s would now be considered gods in comparison to the contemporary offerings.

    Most incredible thing about this song is that it has the great uplifting Chorus but no Duran harmonies which is so rare, yet it holds itself as a fabulous Duran song and I have been a huge fan since 1979......melody from Simon as JT commented 'brought the song home' as they were going to toss it

    With Superbowl on last Sunday, after the game I decided to treat my guest's once again to some fantastic dance, or even sit down music. I turned on this song, everyone got up and started to dance. Great dance song. I notice that 12 people put thumbs down on this song, Why?? 236 fans put thumbs up. Listen to Simon Le Bon's amazing voice, the Band there amazing. Great song, great party song. Fantastic just to relax after a hard day at work, school, and life. Close your eyes and let this song take you away. Duran Duran is #1 in the world and will always be #1.

      @zoso73 5 років тому +9

      Pop music became over-produced (I mean in the studio) starting around 1986 and all the instruments / synths drown out the bass line working with the drum track. It is not a coincidence, then, that great pop music hit its peak around 1984. I wish DD kept their 81-83 sound always, but I don't fault them for always exploring new musical frontiers.

    I question, what is wrong with knighting Duran Duran? Second, why are they not in the Hall of frame. Third, why didn't this song hit #1 on the charts? We're all aware that Duran Duran is The #1 Band in the entire world.. Simon, John, Nick, Roger, Andy has talent in their bones, there outstanding. Breaks my heart that Duran Duran doesn't have more, they all have earned it and a lot more with their career in music. Duran Duran releases beautiful songs each and every time they release an album/song's.

      I do agree with honoring them with titles. They've offered so much to the music world and influenced so many.
      The thing is, the honour system is messed up, the "pop" groups seem to be ignored.
      Rock artists however, are considered more "deserving".

    The contrast between the pre-chorus with vocals and the pre-chorus without vocals makes the last pre-chorus feel slightly different from the preceding pre-choruses, thereby adding a slight freshness and element of surprise to the last pre-chorus. I think that's why they did it that way originally.
