    "Ordinary World," fundamentally, is about vocalist & primary lyricist Simon Le Bon "still" processing the loss of his childhood & close friend, David Miles, who had passed away five years prior in 1986 to writing "Ordinary World" in 1991. The song is not only inspired by Miles but it is also influenced by The Gulf War (1990-1991) that was prevalent during the making of this song.
    "Ordinary World" is the second part in a trilogy of songs that centers around Le Bon & Miles' passing. The first song was written soon after Miles' death & it is called, "Do You Believe In Shame?" found on Duran Duran's "Big Thing" album released in 1988 & also as a single in 1989. The song can also be found on the motion picture soundtrack for the film "Tequila Sunrise" starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
    "Out Of My Mind" concludes the trilogy & was released in 1997 as a single from Duran Duran's "Medazzaland" album in 1997. The track was also the main theme for the motion picture "The Saint" starring Val Kilmer.
    Of course if one speaks to Le Bon about the song's meaning, he will tell you to form your own interpretation of the song. Le Bon typically doesn't explain the meaning of his lyrics to his songs & prefers the listener to make up their own conclusion. It is rare for him to expound on their meaning but with the aforesaid trilogy of songs referenced, he was more so compelled to share the inspiration behind them due to the nature of the topic.

    I absolutely adore this song, my friends band were playing a local festival and asked me to sing this with them as the lead singer couldn’t hit the notes. I’d recently split with my son’s mum and the words resonated with me. He sat on the front of the stage looking up at me and my family were in the crowd. It was such a moment I’ll never forget!

    That verse can speak for now and probably forever.

    Duran Duran is one of the best British bands, so they are so creative.
    Unlike most rock bands who only use guitars and drums,
    Duran must be talented to use and mix so many instruments when making songs.

    Early Duran Duran were part of the background soundtrack to my junior high years. This song was a few years later. I may still have a soft spot for songs like 'Wild Boys', 'Come Undone', 'The Reflex'. 'A View to a Kill' was a James Bond theme song.

    Simon LeBon (lead singer) lost a close friend to suicide, and wrote a triogy of songs to help him cope. The other two are Do You Believe In Shame (which is one of my personal fav DD songs of all time) and Out Of My Mind.
    I think the thing that really resonated with people about this song, at least, all of those that have faced the loss of a loved one or some other true tradgedy in life, was that he wasn't looking for happiness, or the best outcome, or anything "good"... he's so depressed and filled with sadness, he's begging for just an ordinary world. when you're depressed, just the idea of ordinary can be such a huge step in the right direction from where you are.
    The lyric in this song that always breaks me is, "what is happening to me, crazy some'd say, where is my friend when I need you most... gone away..." and right as that line brings you to tears, the chorus triumphantly comes back in with, "but I won't cry for yesterday... there's an ordinary world, somehow, I have to find..." which always fills me with emotion. Happy as he's trying to go on living in the face of his friend's decision not to, but also sad... as he's not found his ordinary world yet and does greatly miss his friend.
    If you don't do the other two on channel, they are both worth a listen in your personal time.
    To give you a little taste, my fave line from Out Of My Mind is, "how could you dare to become so real... when you're just a ghost in me..." Again, I think anyone that's lost a love one feels that. You can hear them still, feel them even. Hear their laugh in your head, but as that good feeling subsides, and reality comes back into focus, you remember they're gone... just a ghost in your head.
    For Do You Believe In Shame, the lyrics are more on-point... and where this line or that line are great, the whole of the song is what makes it special, as again, he's more on point and there's no guessing as to what he's talking about and the pain and confusion he's feeling... which makes sense as this is the first of the trilogy, so likely writen closer to his friend's death when the emotions were still more raw.
    Though some of the lyrics are better, my favorite is the build towards the end of the song with the lyrics, "Do you believe in love, do you believe in life... cause I believe there's a little part of you inside of me... that will never die..."

    Was always a fan. It wasn't until I was a little older that I looked back on their 80s stuff and realized how much I loved it. It was so upbeat. Most of it.
    That's why I never could reconcile what was going on with this album. It was so melancholy. It was dark. I know the band had lost a couple of guys, but it seemed like the whole mood, tone, and attitude of this latest edition had changed. Still a good album, but far and away more depressed than anything before it.

    Duran Duran is one of my favorite lol time 80s Nu Wave. This song actually came out when I was in high school in 92 or 93 I believe. You really must do: Girls on Film, Wild Boys, Come Undone, View To A Kill, Reflex, Union of the Snake, Electric Barbarella. Geez there are too many great songs by this band. I’m a child of the 80s so this is my era!

    • @eamonconnelly8029

      Nu Wave is not "New Wave" music. New Wave came out in the mid 1970s & lasted to about 1984 with bands like Duran Duran, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Cure, Simple Minds & the like unless you are just trying to be clever with the spelling, mate.

    I agree with you that this isn’t typical Duran Duran. My opinion has always been this song is head and shoulders above everything else they did. And that’s no knock on them. I love their other songs. But “Ordinary World” is a brilliant, beautiful and unique track.
    By the way, I noticed you haven’t done any Band Maid in over a year!
    My goodness. If you appreciate well written songs like this one, please consider returning to the Maids.
    For me? I would love your opinion on “Puzzle,” official live. Lyrics are painful and poetic, and the music is what I call “cinematic rock.” But let’s see what you think! ❤

    This is the "new" lineup (at the time), since their original classic quintet lineup that endured the 80s :
    Simon LeBon
    Nick Rhodes
    Andy Taylor
    Roger Taylor
    John Taylor
    (no relation between the Taylors).
    I don't have all the names of this new lineup, other than to say that Simon and Nick remained, along with just one of the Taylors (not sure which one).

    • @eamonconnelly8029
      @eamonconnelly8029 2 месяца назад +1

      I wouldn't call this the "new" lineup at the time. Duran Duran became a trio of John Taylor, Nick Rhodes & Simon Le Bon in 1986 when Roger Taylor & Andy Taylor both quit the band. Warren Cuccurullo filled in on guitar doing some guitar work & touring with the band in 1986 until he became a member in 1989. Ordinary World was released in the fall of 1992 & it was the second album working with Cuccurullo as a Duran Duran member & Cuccurullo's fourth album with the band since 1986.
      Duran Duran's iteration since the band's co-founding & as you note, no Taylor's are related:
      1978: Duran Duran co-founded by John Taylor & Stephen Duffy with Nick Rhodes joining soon hereafter.
      1979: Roger Taylor joins the band & John Taylor switches from guitar to bass.
      Former Duran Duran members:
      Stephen Duffy (1978 - 1979)
      Simon Colley (1978 - 1979)
      Andy Wickett (1979 - 1980)
      Alan Curtis (1979 - 1980)
      Jeff Thomas (1980)
      Sterling Campbell (1989 - 1990)
      Warren Cuccurullo (1989 - 2001)
      1980 - 1986: Nick Rhodes (Keyboards), John Taylor (Bass), Simon Le Bon (Vocals & Lyrics), Andy Taylor (Guitars) & Roger Taylor (Drums)
      1986: Roger Taylor (Drums) tells the band he is not coming back to record Notorious album & quits Duran Duran to take a break from the fame & the music industry. Andy Taylor (Guitars) writes & records four song's for the album then quits the band to pursue a solo career during the recording sessions.
      1986 - 1989: Nick, John & Simon
      1989: Duran Duran return to a five-piece band from a trio as Warren Cuccurullo (Guitars) & Sterling Campbell (Drums) become members of the band.
      1989-1990: Nick, John, Simon, Warren Cuccurullo (Guitars) & Sterling Campbell (Drums)
      1990: Sterling Campbell leaves the band.
      1995: Roger Taylor plays drums on Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" & Elvis Costello's "Watching The Detectives" for Duran Duran's Thank You (Covers album).
      1990 - 1997: Nick, John, Simon & Warren
      1997: John Taylor (Co-founder & Bassist) quits Duran Duran during the Medazzaland album recording sessions.
      1997 - 2001: Nick, Simon & Warren
      2001: Warren Cuccurullo (Guitars) is kicked out of Duran Duran for reunion with John Taylor (Bass) who left in 1997 & with Andy Taylor (Guitars) & Roger Taylor (Drums), who both left the band in 1986.
      2001 - 2006: Nick, John, Simon, Andy & Roger
      2006: Duran Duran record their Reportage album & during the recording sessions, Andy Taylor leaves Duran Duran for a second time.
      2006 to present: Nick, John, Simon & Roger
      2023: Andy Taylor is invited to play the majority of guitar on Duran Duran's Halloween inspired album titled "Danse Macabre," which is mostly an album of cover songs. Warren Cuccurullo also plays on two songs on the album.
      1980 - 1986: Nick Rhodes (Keyboards), John Taylor (Bass), Simon Le Bon (Vocals & Lyrics), Andy Taylor (Guitars) & Roger Taylor (Drums)
