It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
So swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race
I've been listening to RP for nearly 20 years now and it is rather like seeing my own ghost when I come across some comment of my own from 15 plus years ago. :)
and i love it. since early 2001 for me. time has flown.
Yeah, this song is from '82. I was quite small then but am a big fan of the band. The album is called Forever Now. "All of This and Nothing" was a best-of compilation.
I love this band so much. This song is so perfect. I'm still not entirely sure what it's actually about but I feel like I get the point when I get lost in it. Especially those "a-whoos" at the end. It feels real.
I was born that year :) Always loved this song, but never really checked out the album though, but will do now
I want to wrap myself with the beautiful synths from this song. Only to have them fall away as the syncopated, sonic boom of the floor tom at the end pummels me into a glorious submission.
YES! I Agree. Floor toms are my favorite drum. That is why I like all of the iterations of "Sing Sing Sing". Composed by Louis Prima, and made famous by Benny Goodman.
Song still totally holds it's own 35 years later. A classic!
I Agree!

38 years passed by? gosh. I feel old
Ha! I’ve been here 17 years now and I have a similar experience when I see some of my old comments. Sometimes, though, I come here to make a comment about a song, only to find out that I made that same comment already 15 years ago. That gets creepy....
Wow. I just looked it up and I've been a member of RP since 2003. Unreal. And yes, I have posted the same comment on a song years apart.

comfortably dumb.
I can't say if you're comfortable.
OMG, yes, Koyannisqatsi... Philip Glass... I loved it, sin acid, but would've been great con acid I'll bet...
comfortably dumb.

My husband and I say that to each other all the time. A 25-year-old song in 1982 would have been from 1957. Music changed so much in that time. Is music not changing as fast anymore? Why not? Is it because we are baby boomers and the largest demographic ever and started the change in the sixties and it will stay the same until the 2020's when most of us are gone?

I somewhat agree with the assessment of control. Nowadays, the people in control of the Media are baby-boomers. Perhaps some of them, being convinced that only music from "their generation" is worth playing may have aversions towards new music, but I don't think that's the whole reason. The music that may have been "rebellious" or "avant garde" in the 1960's and 70's is now largely a simple tool and mundane adornment of "The Establishment" (as it once was called). Because of the saturation of "culture" that we are exposed to everywhere, it could be difficult to identify something new and fresh. Music always does change to some extent, but with the exception of the technology, I've seen little significantly noticeable changes or innovations in popular music since the Punk/New Wave/Grunge cycle, (that notion, of course, could be debated). Even though musicians (or even non-musicians) can affordably produce and release their own recordings, with computers and such, I believe that it is more difficult for a sincere musician than it was forty years ago.
Well, it's just my humble opinion. Great song by the way.
Agreed on all fronts. Same thing is happening with film - coming from a film hopeful, while it might be easier and a great deal more affordable to make your own films these days, the result is a wide array of competition and an oversaturation of half-talent, which becomes influence for the next year of start-up half-talent, and can drown out the sincerity of an otherwise beautiful and vulnerable world of art.
Not to say that "talent" is measurable. I guess the point is just that sincerity becomes more rare as quality becomes easier to produce and reproduce. Inverse proportion.
To me, just about anything after "Comfortably Numb" would be a relief, if it were this tune that would be a bonus. To each his own.
Does anyone have the, " Extended Dance Version," of, " Heartbeat," that they could upload to rp?
mu-mu-mu-mu-my life,

awesome, especially if you TURN IT UP!
I came to see the references because I thought it was a Bowie song (I don't know his recent productions). I was astonished because There was a Bowie song less than an hour ago on RP.
This sounds very much like David Bowie. Same voice, but a bit less caracteristic, same sounds and orchestration as in the years '70-'80s.
Though out of HS by that time, do remember king biscuit and definitely this song - fond memories of the Rat
One of those rare songs, I think, that will be timeless.
+1!
yep.
So I asked my wife one day why Top Gun was seen as such a chick flick, when it's about testosterone filled fighter pilots who try to blow shit up. I felt like an idiot for not seeing it once she told me the reason.
"Two words, shirtless volleyball."
Me, too. Of The Black Flag and Minor Threat variety, though.

Wow. You almost summed up why we listen hear, nice. But seriously, Thanks for your excellent translation.

Eh... we'll all be gone by 2012 so you're 8 years off. Just ask Nostradamus!
do doubt about that.
You forgot to add the annoying sing-through-the-nose thing.
Let me just post this comment right here so that someone in 8 years will find it.
It's already six months gone, mate. Doesn't time fly...
