The lyrics are sublime. "Hang the fruits of your labor on the walls..." Who else could work Waiting for Godot into a synth-pop hit? "...perfecting a stance, or measured cool faded to insignificance." So many guys back in my 20s, standing around the dance floor. This, mixed with hope for a better future, especially for people who don't conform to "normal," is exactly what the world needs right now.
Simplemente. Magistrales, tengo 34 años escuchando a PSB desde que estaba en la secundaria y no me canso de seguirlos, buenas letras y una voz magistral que no a cambiado con el paso del tiempo
Follow their instincts and they told they sin. Love that line. They are deep, and so people don’t pay attention to their lyrics. Great voice , beats and messages. Love them forever.
mainly it's those suffering from major depression who listen to music for the relatable lyrics. thou music should be felt not listened to. ☮️🎶 j from my wife's RUclips with her permission
Pet Shop Boys is one of my favourite bands. I love all their studio albums from Please to Super. Bilingual is beautiful album and this song is one of the best in it
@@ivan4686 'The Survivors' is amazing. I know it's about the AIDS crisis (devastating!), but I also used it as a track near the end of my anti-depression/suicide playlist *_To Write Love On Her Arms: Don't Give Up_* . "Life is worth living It's still worth a damn One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham Many words may make it sound contrived But somehow we're alive..." 💖 ruclips.net/video/Jh5dFh1hWHI/видео.html
I'm in a PSB sort of mood tonight, and I HAD to come to this one. I think every time I listen to it Red Letter Day climbs higher and higher on my list of PSB favorites.
So many songs to choose from Neil & Chris, but for me it HAS to be this one - classic PSB, brilliant melody & killer hook, it's got it ALL - & I love it to bits.
beautiful melody, so hard to choose one best song. Being boring is one of my faves. I can't choose one fave. I keep coming back to this video a lot also. I saw them live on the Very tour, would love to see them again one day.
"But for all of those who don't fit in Who follow their instincts And are told they sin This is a prayer for A different way" Those lyrics made me tear up the very first time I heard this song back in high school when I was still trying to figure out my sexuality. 💙
We all humans wait for something in everything we do; in the bank, at the doctor, in the shop... everywhere; the rain, a great day to receive something or the moment to face a challenge. Life itself seems specting. I think that Pet Shop Boys here ask what would we do or what occupy our time in? instead of ocuppying the time on wainting! The question is, Is it worth the wait ? if is so, the case turn to spiritual, and the word is Patience! Pet shop Boys have always been philosophers. Unique!
This is a Universal Love song. Nearly everyone can relate to it. If you can't, you aren't human, in my book. Thanks for the groovy music Neil and Chris. It means a lot to fans and love's of good music. modern music 'Baby baby, noooo!'♪♪♪ um...sorry that's not music. it's a broken record skipping.
Cuando escuchas a Pet Shop Boys y prestas atención a sus letras ves lo inteligentes que son, critica política de religión y temas sociales y si va de la mano de su gran sonido eso es talento sin dudas
preciosa canción que describe la cruda realidad de tantos y tantos ( y tantas) que esperan estoicamente haciendo tantas cosas por ser agradabels...... para ser amados..
I came back to this song recently because I am still mourning the death of my fiancé, who passed away two weeks before Christmas 2021. We were to be married this coming September (2022), one year to the day I proposed to him. My last Red Letter Day was the day we first met - September 15th, 2020. I'm now waiting for maybe one more before I die. I'm 57. If I'm lucky, I may have one, but I have to face the reality that it may not come and that the rest of my life will be as dull and dreary as depicted in this video.
They write such beautiful music. I have seen them 4 times in concert, I love seeing that quality rocks in Washington DC in 2000 with George Michaels, Chaka Khan, Melissa Etheridge and others seems like yesterday.
I have just seen again this fabulous video. Now in my country are queues to buy bread, to go to supermarket, everything are queues. PSB knew about this a lot of time ago. Nice song and melody. Enjoy.
"16And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand, or on their foreheads. 17And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six.
Such a wonderful masterpiece ! Shame this song is so terribly underrated :-( I remember it entering the UK Top 40 at #9 , and then dropping off the chart just one week later . But it's not just this song which is great : the entire single was excellent and had amazing remixes and wonderful b-sides . PSB are the kings op Pop , and I'll love them forever .
If it was in the nineties the uk charts had songs got in as a new entry then drop down the next week instead of climbing up and down the charts it did not go back to the old style of chart until download was made legal for chart entry.
It is... it really is a masterpiece.. one of the most beautiful Christian message songs in the world... I am suspicious of organized religion, but Jesus was the best....
I remember them performing this on TOTP in the same week the Spice Girls were at #1 with Spice Up Your Life. Guess who showed them how it should be done.
Preciosa canción, magnifica. estaba buscándola desde el verano de 1997 que la escuche varias veces sin saber el nombre, y desde entonces hasta hoy no he vuelto a escucharla.
Si la escuchaste en 1997 seguramente escuchaste la versión del álbum Bilingual que dura 5:09. Es ligeramente diferente a esta versión que es un single remix que se usó en el recopilatorio PopArt si no estoy equivocado. Me gustan las 2.
Un nuevo dia vendras. Cuanto escuchabamos estas canciones, solo escucharlas para luego hablar sobre ellas. .....This is a prayer for a different way.....
The image of Neil standing there holding an ice cream cone as it melts away -- you either understand this or you don't. God bless those who can't relate.
Go to work and take your calls Hang the fruits Of your labour on the walls Such precision and care What does it matter If there's no one here to share The flowers in the garden The wine The "Waiting for Godot" And so much modern time? All I want Is what you want I'm always waiting For a red letter day The years perfecting a stance Of measured cool Fade into insignificance The moment one starts to understand What on earth Does it profit a man? All I want Is what you want I'm always waiting For a red letter day For something special Somehow new Someone saying 'I love you' Baby, I'm waiting For that red letter day You can sneer Or disappear behind a veneer Of self-control But for all of those who don't fit in Who follow their instincts And are told they sin This is a prayer for A different way All I want Is what you want I'm always waiting For a red letter day Like Christmas morning When you're a kid Admit you love me And you always did Baby I'm hoping For that red letter day Today
What does it all mean? Is it a critique of long lines in Communist countries or is it about waiting in lines for new Nintendo Switch consoles and video games?
Subtle melody. Thank you for your recent pet text from May 18, 2022. Your life and work have always protected from the worst ideas and thoughts. You have always given love. Sooner or later, this happens - fascism in the largest country will fall and the world will become a better place.
And even though we are all waiting for something, in the end what everyone is looking for is basically the same thing: Happiness. And instead of keep waiting for it like everyone, you should just go after it for yourself, whatever way you may think its right, instead of "disappear behind a veneer of self-control". This song is amazingly deep.
well what can we say about a Pet shop boys single:all they do is turning gold for more then 20 years now,quiet amazing keep on being so great.I like most of their singles too
That was brilliant and it is a masterpiece. Even though the song is not recent, the video and words are timeless and perfect for the world we live in right now.
PSB lyrics are really beyond compare The years perfecting a stance Of measured cool Fade into insignificance The moment one starts to understand What on earth Does it profit a man?
I really love this song, so memorable to me, the song reminds my childhood, first time I knew this song in 1998, when I was junior high school, miss that moment
"......... You can sneer or disappear Behind a veneer of self-control But for all of those who don't fit in Who follow their instincts and are told they sin This is a prayer for a different way ......." Perfect!!
3:15 "All I want, is what you want .... I'm always waiting for a Red Letter Daayyyyyyyyy.... like Christmas morning when you're a kid, admit you loved me and you always did... maybe I'm waiting for that Red Letter Daaayyyyyy......" ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ...... "I'm always waiting". PET SHOP BOYS MAGIC. Thanks Neil & Chris!

I came here because of a feud between several elderly men and now I have discovered a new favorite song. Thanks, podcasters!!
what's a podcast?
Sporto
Glad to see I’m not the only one then.
Me too!
Bitter is as bitter does kitten
I can't wait for Shatner to go on the Red Letter Media podcast on RUclips
He doesn't do podcasts
One of the most beautiful songs by The Pet Shop Boys.
Claus honestly one of my favourites, along with being boring.
*Pet Shop Dudes
the whole album is great
this and Rent...Timeless...
Most assuredly! ⛅️
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written
You can't have heard very many songs
I've only discovered this one in 2024 - you are right.
The lyrics are sublime. "Hang the fruits of your labor on the walls..." Who else could work Waiting for Godot into a synth-pop hit? "...perfecting a stance, or measured cool faded to insignificance." So many guys back in my 20s, standing around the dance floor. This, mixed with hope for a better future, especially for people who don't conform to "normal," is exactly what the world needs right now.
Thats right Jay
Neil Tennant alway had perfect crystal clear voice. Perfect combo with the digital wizard Chris Lowe on synth. Thanks from Denmark guys. Krusty

The best hit Pet Shop boys of 90-s.
My all time favourite Pet Shop Boys song! 💖
Same here!
It's definitely up there in my top 30 PSB songs ✊🏻❤️PSB
@@davidbates1896 ITS AGREAT SONG INDEED
What Jay dances to when he’s at The Manhole.
And many other things! 😍❤️
Mike Stoklasa enjoys watching elderly massage videos. Mr. Shatner, whatever you do, don't undress infront of that man.
God bless PSB and let them make music forever.
MrProvincial sure. No ones like them.
@@osvaldojoseecheverriacolla2231 yeah thats what he said, you did a fine job repeating him. Want a cookie?

This reminds me of an episode of Voyager.
Oh sorry thought this was a new episode of half in the bag
Don't come back and never say that again
I love that so many of the comments here are about the Pet Shop Dudes. I mean the podcasters. And how Shatner doesn’t like them
Simplemente. Magistrales, tengo 34 años escuchando a PSB desde que estaba en la secundaria y no me canso de seguirlos, buenas letras y una voz magistral que no a cambiado con el paso del tiempo
My absolutely FAVE such an underrated song
For all those who follow their instincts and are told they sin
thx rlm
And now the poor Pet Shop Boys have been brought into an argument between Captain Kirk and Mr. Plinkett.
And who in a million years thought that such a sentence would ever be written.
What? What happened? I missed it

Always good to listen to

Totally feel the same way
I tear up just listening to this marvelous song.

Totally agree
It really makes you wonder why Jay and Mike didn't stick with pet shop dudes. They're really talented in this one
Still going strong after all these years. Not like these show generated bands who disappear after five mins. Keep it going PSB
Estos muchachos son de otro planeta serán de Júpiter
"But for all of those who don't fit in

This kind of music always makes you think, whether you realize it or not. Whether you want to or not. And thats why I Love you PSB!!!
Damn the line in front of Lighting Fast VHS Repair has gotten HUUUGE these days
Simplemente los mejores. Esta musica te hace reflexionar. De lo q somos realmente en éste mundo.
Cuando escuchas a Pet Shop Boys y prestas atención a sus letras ves lo inteligentes que son, critica política de religión y temas sociales y si va de la mano de su gran sonido eso es talento sin dudas
That intriguing PSB lyrical combination of mournful tone and reaching upward in optimism.
Is this a podcast?

Great song! One of my favourite ones forever...I don't understand why they avoid performing it during their tours...
GREAT song. Wonderful melody and beat.
I don't understand why the PSB don't like this video, I like it a lot.
Always loved PSB. Superb, clean music. Deep yet heartfelt lyrics.
I so love neil Tennant s walk and he has the most beautiful voice beautiful track one of my favourites.
The image of Neil standing there holding an ice cream cone as it melts away -- you either understand this or you don't. God bless those who can't relate.
Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits
Of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden
The wine
The "Waiting for Godot"
And so much modern time?
All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a red letter day
The years perfecting a stance
Of measured cool
Fade into insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on earth
Does it profit a man?
All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a red letter day
For something special
Somehow new
Someone saying 'I love you'
Baby, I'm waiting
For that red letter day
You can sneer
Or disappear behind a veneer
Of self-control
But for all of those who don't fit in
Who follow their instincts
And are told they sin
This is a prayer for
A different way
All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a red letter day
Like Christmas morning
When you're a kid
Admit you love me
And you always did
Baby I'm hoping
For that red letter day
Today
Lyrics 👍
What does it all mean? Is it a critique of long lines in Communist countries or is it about waiting in lines for new Nintendo Switch consoles and video games?

Esses caras são fantásticos, com letra e melodia.
Can you understand the lyrics or did you choose to write in your native language?
As músicas deles não enjoam, não cansam, podemos ouvir até umas 500 vezes!
Добрался до миллиона! В свое время клип был популярен.
Да и щас нормально штырит 🤘

One of their best songs.
I love you so much PetShopBoys 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much, Neil and Chris!
Bravo , marcou minha geração, pet shop boys , espetacular

I really love this song, so memorable to me, the song reminds my childhood, first time I knew this song in 1998, when I was junior high school, miss that moment
I miss tracks like that in Pet Shop Boys today. I miss emotion.
This video changed my life.
Why? How?
This video is so relatable right now it's weird. Lining up for everything in this COVID-19 hell.
"I'm always waiting...waiting...".
such an underrated song!
Pet shop boys mean a great deal 2 me..
They've been through tears and smiles all through the years...luv to psb
Definitely one of my favourite Pet Shop Boy's songs! Very touching
"......... You can sneer or disappear
Behind a veneer of self-control
But for all of those who don't fit in
Who follow their instincts and are told they sin
