I was 12-13 years old when I first heard this song and never forgot it ever since. I got all their albums, my fave band of the 80's. Sadly, the lead singer Marc Hollis died exactly 2 years ago.
You must listen this song Live, ua-cam.com/video/Rbwz532EQw8/v-deo.html You are going to flip f out. i tell you. His Voice is something else don't you think Very good reaction Man!
In late 2003 I was walking through an indoor mall, and they played this great song on their PA system. Some teens that were walking near me said they couldn't believe a band already remade the No Doubt song. I knew then that generation would always disappoint me.
:,-) the 80s synth sound is unmistakable and contemporary 80 synth revivals aren’t anything like those back then. It’s sad that they aren’t aware of that

Talk Talk is one of those bands that you discover and you go “why is nobody talking about these guys?” they absolutely deserve more recognition, especially the later albums are sonically very adventurous, total headphone music. So yeah, like most people here, I’d recommend Such a Shame and my personal fav, Desire.
By the time they hit the scene the 2nd British invasion hit its peak and the genre of new wave and romanticism was just flooded. Duran Duran, Culture Club, The Police, and revival of The Who and others dominated music in the 80s. American bands were making a pivotal comeback with Springsteen, Tina Turner, R&B stars, and Michael Jackson’s Thriller
I remember buying The Colour of Spring album in vinyl during my youth, the attention to detail was phenomenal, the artwork on the album sleeve then inside the cover, were the original handwritten lyrics for every song! They made some seriously beautiful melodic music during the 80's and 90's

He refused to sing on the video because he was at odds with the record company. Also the song is about conservation and protecting animals. Brilliant band.
Talk Talk very underrated. The songs can be very intense. Close your eyes, put on headphones and listed to Talk Talk "I believe in you." Then read the story about the song and listen to it again.

I remember when No Doubt did a cover of this song and they received an award, one of the first people they thanked in their little speech were Talk Talk for writing this amazing number. I've never heard someone doing that before and thought it was a nice thing to do. The cover wasn't half bad, by the way.

They burst on the scene in North America with an EP featuring the track “Talk Talk”. After that they rode a rocket for a few years with catchy, haunting , ironic songs that were definitely different. Many of their famous songs were remixed more than your favorite cake. They should have been much bigger in North America! Definitely check out their song catalog.........
Talk Talk's last three albums are amazing. "Laughing Stock" and "Spirit of Eden" get talked about online a lot, but "Colour of Spring" doesn't get nearly as much credit as it deserves. Fucking mind-blowing band. RIP Mark Hollis.

Talk Talk was such a great synth band, and Mark Hollis, the lead singer, hated synth. Give songs like "Talk Talk", "The Party's Over", "Life's What You Make It", "Today", "Happiness Is Easy" and "Such A Shame" a listen.... They could really capture that melancholic feeling wrapped in a sweet 80's synth sound.
Man, I LOVE talk Talk- no one has a voice like Mark Hollis. I love everything they did. I was in a store and I heard Gwen Stefani covering this and I stopped dead and then stormed out thinking, "How DARE she!" RIP, Mark.
Yeah relax everyone I still prefer the orginal just giving No Doubt some credit. I'm sorry opinion police for not 100% matching up to your exact thoughts 🙄
About time. There are so many reactors out there copying each other because they've run out of ideas of music to react to......there are tons of great industrial, post punk, and new wave bands to explore and no matter how much they are requested, you guys just aren't doing them.
I wish more people understood this video, there's so many clues that it's about the lives of animals as well, he's speaking for them. Makes it even greater.
Definitely underrated group. They deserve far more recognition than they got. Sadly Mark Hollis died of cancer a few years ago. They deserve more recognition than they got.
I love that Talk Talk is getting heard again... "Such a Shame" and "Talk Talk" are two others by them you might like. There's a German band called Alphaville (they sing in English) but the soundscape/instrumentation and harmonies have similarities to this band, and I've seen you react to other tracks in that style and enjoy them--You'd likely be the first to react to them... Go for it!!
@@elysehfm8797 Yeah, probably. Both, playing piano in the middle of the forest. I love them both. I especially love the drums in "Life's what you make it". OMG, love that one!!
This is absolutely one of the most perfect pop songs ever written. A truly under appreciated band. 40 years later and the song still sounds so fresh and relevant. Thanks for reacting to this.
@6:08 has me crackin up man! 😂 Definitely not an easy song to sing. It comes from the heart! Talk Talk is an amazing group who got better and more experimental over time. What’s crazy is their music is now finally getting the respect it deserves! Great video 🎶
Talk Talk one the best bands of the 80's Even their B-sides ar terrific. They invented the post rock genre single handedly as you can hear on their last 2 alburms. Love them!
This is a layered moment I'm having. #1) Almost your 1st word was HAUNTED...(voice) - and that's how I've always described this song! BUT, more layers for me: I'm 71! I was a pro working musician all my adult life, including all through the 80s, but somehow NEVER heard this song till just awhile back when Mark Hollis died! It was like it was being "saved for me" - & I don't talk "spooky" like that. It's a brilliant moment in time. The dynamics (so intense, the then quiet). ..Thanks for this! It IS an amazing work! Haunted is right!! In a good way!
The original and the best. Saw them do their first big London gig and they were amazing. To their shock they got an encore but had played all their songs so they did some more. Great, great time, incredible band.
Mark Hollis was one of our finest singer-songwriters. He died a couple of years ago after retiring from music quite young. I suggest his song with Talk Talk, Give It Up.
I think their early stuff may have been bigger in the US but they are one of those bands who got better over time. Try Life’s What You Make It, next where the vocals almost sound like an instrument. Astonishing song.
So glad you checked them out! A brilliant band and so many incredible songs. Living In Another World came to mind just now, so moving and chillingly beautiful. RIP Mark Hollis
One of the songs of the 80's. Possibly THE song of the 80's. Talk Talk were a wonderful band that produced some fabulous music. It still sounds great today.
This song has so much meaning to me. It represents my climb back from a dark place when I lost 2 people very dear to me. And it make me remember that I can always find my way forward.
I didn't know this was the original. I remember No doubts video and song being played a heck of a lot when I was a kid. Found out about this version years later & you know what I like it better!
I really love Talk Talk, from the early 80ies til now. Especially the little strange late compositions. Unfortunately Mark's life ended much too soon 😥
Talk Talk was legit a great band that often just gets dismissed as a generic New Wave band. Mark Hollis (RIP) absolutely did have an amazing voice. For a really moving song of theirs, try "Such a Shame"
couldn't agree more , absolutely one of my favourite bands in the 80's . there's a live version of "such a shame" on here to give people an idea on how good his voice is .
Great comment! 💯 And amazing suggestion~ _Such A Shame_ is *phenomenal!* Mark was an exquisite songwriter!!! Mark’s passing broke my heart.😢 Gone far too soon. RIP, Beautiful Soul ❤️
@@sophiecat14 Also, I find it touching that he chose not to pursue a career as a popstar who tours the world because he wanted to stay with his family and live a normal, happy life.
This is why we old folk in our mid-60's will ALWAYS love the synth-pop music of the middle-1980's. "It's My Life" is very special to me--almost 40 years later--because it helped me through a four-year battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma (which I obviously won because "it's my life" then, and it's still my life today.) The POWER of this song lies in its deeply felt BEAUTY and those aspects are inseparable. Sometimes I feel as if this miraculous recording does, in fact, tap into the human collective unconsciousness through the voice of Marc Hollis. One cannot deny its appeal across time and distance. It leaves its mark on us all. In the harmonies of Talk-Talk's "Its My Life" people find a harmony within themselves as truth and beauty mesh. A joyous and inspiring song from a man who was known specifically for his "gentle beauty."
R.I.P. to the late great Mark Hollis from Talk Talk. If you think his voice was haunting in It’s My Life, try listening to I Believe In You or It’s Getting Late In The Evening .... incredible legacy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

No Doubt covered Talk Talk in 2003. They had the original hit in 1984.
"Life's What You Make It" is the song that made me a fan. Melancholy and somehow hopeful.
Such a beautiful song,,and so true and I;m so beautifully reminded of that every time I play this song.

Yes! 100%. My favourite by them. The video as well. Mark Hollis' voice is so unique and amazing.
My favorite from them too.
I do agree
Not gonna argue with you there mate
My favorite too. One of my all time favorite songs actually.
Mark Hollis was a tortured genius - his solo work was abstract and haunting. RIP to a great man.
you have to listen to "Life's What You Make It " by talk talk such a great voice and sadly missed
My favourite too. It came out when a school friend of mine died. Gave the song an added layer of meaning which has never left me.
Most definitely my favorite song
Lee Harris just *slays* that song. One of my favorite bands of all time.
Talk Talk was a classic band. Mark was a musical genius. You never get tired of the music. Long live the 80's.
The rest of their debut album is mesmerizing

I never, ever get tired of hearing this song...and I had it when it came out!
Same.
Damn dude. Oasis, REM AND Talk Talk?!?!?! THIS Guy is on FIRE!
I like "Why Is It So Hard", "Talk Talk", "Such A Shame".
Such a Shame is a classic. Lets not forget Dum Dum Girl. Fast forward to the Laughing Stock and experience "New Grass".

Talk Talk is amazing, one of the most recognisable voices ever coming out of Mark Hollis.
So good, so intelligent and so wonderful creative.
their Colour of Spring album is a true work of art.
Their last 2 albums are their best tho with Laughing stock being their best album and one of the best albums ever.

This and the No Doubt cover is awesome. 80's new wave is some of the best music around.
The cover isnt good. ignore this comment anyone
I think the No Doubt cover is ok but nothing beats the original.
The No Doubt version is worthless. Totally loses the emotion and power of the original. It just becomes a soulless pop nothing.

I love Talk Talk, from their namesake song to such a shame to dum dum girl to this masterpiece.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Mark Hollis was an absolute genius and his works are a masterpiece.
"Living in Another World" is one of their best songs too.
Talk Talk live at montreux one of the best live band performances ever.
One of the Best Songs in the 80‘ in Europe and here in Germany too.
One of the best songs of the 80s! What a bass line!😁
R.I.P. Mark Hollis. One of the greatest voices and lyricist of the new wave era. Have to watch them live to truly get a feel on how good they were.
There's a great one from Dortmund 84 and the Montreux 86 classic on UA-cam. If only I could of been there, I'd die a happy man.
Here's one you definitely need to listen to.

Great tune. Check out their song - “Life’s what you make it”, it’s awesome.
This song has so much meaning to me. It represents my climb back from a dark place when I lost 2 people very dear to me. And it make me remember that I can always find my way forward.
I was 11 when this song was released. First time I noticed a bass line in a song. Still one of my favorites.
i wish i could be 11 at that time XD
Such a Shame by Talk Talk is such a great song and a great video. It's his life, don't you forget. RIP Mark Hollis.
I didn't know this was the original. I remember No doubts video and song being played a heck of a lot when I was a kid. Found out about this version years later & you know what I like it better!
RIP Mark Hollis. Truly unique and beautiful voice.
I really love Talk Talk, from the early 80ies til now. Especially the little strange late compositions. Unfortunately Mark's life ended much too soon 😥
Oh wow, I'd forgotten about this song. Thanks to whoever recommended it.👍😁
Talk Talk was legit a great band that often just gets dismissed as a generic New Wave band. Mark Hollis (RIP) absolutely did have an amazing voice. For a really moving song of theirs, try "Such a Shame"
couldn't agree more , absolutely one of my favourite bands in the 80's . there's a live version of "such a shame" on here to give people an idea on how good his voice is .
Great comment! 💯
And amazing suggestion~ _Such A Shame_ is *phenomenal!*
Mark was an exquisite songwriter!!!
Mark’s passing broke my heart.😢 Gone far too soon.
RIP, Beautiful Soul ❤️
@@sophiecat14 Also, I find it touching that he chose not to pursue a career as a popstar who tours the world because he wanted to stay with his family and live a normal, happy life.
@@edmod526 One of mine, too! So may exquisite & deep songs!
I just wish I’d seen them in concert!! ❤️
It’s my life was totally meaningful to me in the 80s when my family wanted to meddle with my life ❤️
Took me a while to figure out his blinking.
One of the most Hauntingly beautiful songs from the 80s, such a great decade for music
No Doubt does a great cover of this song, I really like their song “Talk Talk” too. Yes, “Talk Talk” by Talk Talk 😄😄😄
Ignore the No doubt version. Its inferior
Talk Talk is a poor representation of talk Talk's genius..said Mark Hollis... but never attempt to like a cover of Talk Talk
There is no reason for No Doubt to cover this song.
That cover is shit
I love that version too!..but I’ve been a No Doubt/Gwen Stefani fan since the very beginning many many yrs ago! Both versions are GREAT!!
This is why we old folk in our mid-60's will ALWAYS love the synth-pop music of the middle-1980's. "It's My Life" is very special to me--almost 40 years later--because it helped me through a four-year battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma (which I obviously won because "it's my life" then, and it's still my life today.) The POWER of this song lies in its deeply felt BEAUTY and those aspects are inseparable. Sometimes I feel as if this miraculous recording does, in fact, tap into the human collective unconsciousness through the voice of Marc Hollis. One cannot deny its appeal across time and distance. It leaves its mark on us all. In the harmonies of Talk-Talk's "Its My Life" people find a harmony within themselves as truth and beauty mesh. A joyous and inspiring song from a man who was known specifically for his "gentle beauty."
This was such a great band.
R.I.P. to the late great Mark Hollis from Talk Talk. If you think his voice was haunting in It’s My Life, try listening to I Believe In You or It’s Getting Late In The Evening .... incredible legacy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another great song JV! It almost feels like you’re playing most of my playlists. Keep up the great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He has a great choice of songs doesn’t he 😍
