Derek Jarman's video used as a backdrop for Pet Shop Boys' MCMLXXXIX tour, subsequently released on a VHS tape Projections.
The Pet Shop Boys' best ever Song! Simple as! It marries a terrible, tyrannical Treading Sound with an aspiring Tune that never makes it!
таких песен уже не напишут(
This video is so inspiring and ahead of its time even though it was filmed in the eighties
Heartwarming Song and such a mistake not release this masterpiece as a single. One of the best Songs of Chris and Neil
Incredible song....and many happy memories of kings x looking like that in the 80s ♥️
Das ist so ne tolle Nummer. Stimmt mich nachdenklich wenn ich sie höre. Zeitlos. Warum wurde die nie als Single veröffentlicht?
Neil and Chris to dress as gothic and clown in the video
Elegy
One of my very favourite Pet Shop Boys songs, brings back great memories of my childhood in the 80's, I remember the first album I had of theirs was Actually which had this song on it, great times.
さみしい唄
A good song
This is my personal version of the video...enjoy! ruclips.net/video/Sro1ZURPvrs/видео.html
This song made me want to know London.
Best song ever made!
<3
Kings Cross has now become a corporate shithole.
You didn't see the abandoned British Rails plans in the 1980s then!
Siempre los mejores 😉
1987
Love it...
On the top, as always...
Kings Cross classic from the 80s
One of my favourite PSB songs. This and "It couldn't happen here". I just adore them. Great video too..... "So i went looking out today, for the one who got away....."
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved break ups are so painful but everything in life is just a thought everything changes time heals things get better x
Two years later and I’m destroyed I’ve lost everything because I couldn’t survive the break up of my relationship I’m now about to commit suicide after bc battling for two years it’s come to an end god bless you all and never judge me 🙏🏻🖤
Who is still listening to this song? Its 2017!!!!
Terence Lai - 2018
count me in.....
Me too... PSB was good beside BEATLES.
classic
Neil and Chris are the Best. Love you Guys.
The best song they have ever written which was not released as a single🤘👁👍🏿
PET SHOP BOYS para sempre.
Just simply perfect.
This song was written before the King's Cross fire in1987.
kings cross was really seedy during the 70s and 80s.
Kings Cross and Being Boring chronicle the moment better than any other songs of that time - AIDS, loss, disillusionment, fleeting encounters, sometimes hope. Derek Jarman's film provides all the clues you need to understand what this song is about, it is a masterpiece in its own right on top of PSB's most powerfully sad song.
日本でコンサートをやって欲しい！必ず行きます！
This album , pure bliss. Forever in debt to the pet shop boys for making my time on earth such fun with their amazing music. Feel like I know them as brothers , and I havent even met them. Incredible music.
I have been to Kings Cross Station, how ironic?
I´m from Brazil and I trying hard to master this language.So I´d like somebody coment this music what that mean each word in context. thanks.I´ve seen some translation but,in all, without sense. I prefer explanation about this text is better for me.
+Gedeao Santos I think that they hint at a feeling of something sad and quietly hopeless, but you are supposed to paint the actual picture for yourself. The song is not a story it is fragments of feelings, observations, images, so there isn't exactly sense to be found except to the singer himself. Many English songs work that way I think. Basically the song is about HIV, unemployment and the mood in the country at the time. Hope that helps, good luck with your studies!
One of their best tracks so far.
Yes one of the best track of all time by PSB...........
I love PSB lyrics, so poetic and not trivial. Non native English speakers like me may learn many new words and idioms from it
My goodness I LOVE IT!!! . <3
Pet Shop Boys seems to be one of the best bands ever, like Depeche Mode, A-ha, Tears For Fears, Bryan Adams, Roxette etc. Does anyone agree? Lithuania :)
Andrius Stasiukynas _only Pet Shop Boys
Pet Shop Boys are my Personal favourites, i like Tears for Fears, and A-Ha as well, pet Shop Boys number 1 in my book
TOTALLY AGREE Andious, The Thompson Twins ain't bad either. I feel about eight years old when I hear this, and smile too, nicer time back then.
We get alot of Lithuanian trucks in the UK hahahaha I love Lithuania
To me it's only Pet Shop Boys - none of the others... :D
By far number one song and video ever for me. Simple, black&White, beautiful, strong and gently played music...the only video and song I could compare is Black's Wonderful life
Although the lyrics appear to refer to the King's Cross fire of November 1987, the album that the song appeared on was released two months before it. The song is actually about desperation and unemployment. It was suggested that Pet Shop Boys release it a single to raise money for charity following the fire,[citation needed] but they never did. Music magazines at the time though (such as Smash Hits) carried adverts to call premium rate phone lines to hear the song, and the money from the phone call would then go to the charity for fire victims.
The brilliance of this song is just sublime. It haunts you on so many levels and a lush production to boot, including this video, Thanks Neil, Chris and Derek...........................xo
The best LP of PSB
Superb song and such an evocative video, thanks Derek Jarman (RIP) and Pet Shop Boys. Didn't know the song until recently but listening to the words and reading about the background to the writing of it, the song is clearly about the loss of so many from Aids and the tough times for so many young, particularly men, looking for work and a new life in the Big Smoke in late 1980's England. Sometimes having to become Rent Boys to survive, and toughen up overnight - and maybe turning to heroin to dull the pain and loneliness. And after the horror of the the Kings Cross Fire, I think the PSB were right not to release this song in reference to it, even for the charity. I well remember that night of the fire. Prince Edward was switching the lights on in Regents Street and I had stayed late in work in the West End to go and watch it. For me, I was lucky that night - my journey afterwards took me southbound to home and safety. But God Bless those souls who were not:- those who perished in the fire, and their poor, bereaved loved ones. RIP for all those deceased and also remembering those injured that terrible night.
Amazing seems to me, that there is a rythm in it, wich is like a drug and atleast for me, it is working deep inside me, outcovers all the hurt, all the bad, all the unsaid, forgotten, left behind, or aside, but not just in general, also on a very personal level, very strong and very gentle also. Knowing the story behind it, makes it only more beautiful. But for me, I see in it a traveller, a softy you know, a kind soul, who has such a great world around, a wast filled up space with wath ever you want to choose in life, Young and beautiful as can be, but just can't fit you know, nowhere and to nobody, he is trying, but fails again and again, so he is hanging around a crossroads, a statiton, on a point where People are coming and going, but he stays.. collecting hurt and sadness, wich is realy all around. Not as a sad and bad world. But just a world. Where noghting is certain. Only death. All other is a like a hush, a rush, warm wind throo a dream. Some get ahead and some are left behind. But there will be always a statiton somewhere. With People coming and going. Laughing, craying, living, loving and dieing.
the light of the pop....infinite!
P.S.B rules !!! the only band that still makes the great music of the 80's
They did music in the 80's, then in the 90's.. they kept composing in the new millenium, and maybe you are not aware, they released ELECTRIC in 2014. Spandau or Duran Duran still live in the 80's. PSB are forever.
So powerful and so thoughtful. I love the Pet Shop Boys!
I am an American, and I have been to King's Cross Station in London. It brought me back to this song.
Thnks u me two♥️♥️
STUNNING ~ this track and video just get better with age!
Should've been released as a single, amazing song.
Вечная память погибшим!
