    The Pet Shop Boys have been doing this for over 35 years now, a truly cerebral lyrical group who incorporates impeccable music and melody. I don't know if there's any other group out there like these guys today. I definitely dub PSB a Supergroup

    Absolute wonder of a song. I just can’t get over it. Going strong for PSB at 16 years old baby. “When you walked out you did me a favor, it’s absolutely clear to me, that love is a bourgeois construct, just like they said at university.” 🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️

    I can't say how much I love this song. Firstly, the music in itself is brilliant, particularly with the 'sample' of Henry Purcell/Michael Nyman (which really brings that 'bourgeois' touch to the song, of course, hehe). But also : the lyrics. I love them ; they're hilarious and very clever !

      I agree. True masterpiece. This one, Fluorescent, , The Last to die, and Thursday just got me right from the start. Since of course most songs anywhere take a couple listens to get the feel. PSB has a way of getting into your heart and imagination right off quite often.

    For a long time I have handled Pet Shop Boys as a crossover band geniously not turning classical music into pop music but the other way around. Listening to Introspective quite a few times has given me the notion that each piece is something like a movement of a symphony. On top of it all, this Purcell piece is the theme of one of my very favourite movies the Draughtman's Contract. All in one, thank you indeed Neill and Chris. God, what an experience it'd be to have a beer with you in Budapest.
