I lost my friend as I was a teenager. After having a prolonged struggle with the depression he commited a suiside in the age of 19. At first I didn't feel anything when I heard the news about this terrible incident. I was just a numb for a week. Then one morning this song was played in the radio. I broke out crying endlessly. That one particular sentence in the lyrics "where is my friend when I need you most" really touched me and made me feel quilty as a hell. Currenty this song represents me a tribute to the memory of my passed away friend.
Guilt is not what you need. You were a kid. I hear you brother. This song reminds me of my best friend in collage who died way way too young. I couldn't get past the news he was gone. It just didn't make sense. I couldn't understand what really happened. The world never stopped to let me think about what happened - I never got a chance to take a breather and catch up... I just had to go to class, and I had to go to work, and I had pay all my stupid bills, and no one gave a s (h!t) the world never stopped, not even slowed down. I was just numb. Years later I heard this song and I started thinking about Jay again and I started crying too - crying and crying with no end. like it wouldn't stop. It still feels like it'd never end if I let it go, if I let it, I'd just cry for ever.
Now I understand this song... I just found out that one of my best friends died... It's so incredible how we think that the people we love will always be there... I miss you, brother... I will always miss you, Herney (cara de nalga).
I knew another friend too Rene Hansen who died of falling down from sixth floor 1992 before new years day I did tell him to jump to hell because he putted drugs in my cats food without me knowing my Cat Pelle I had from my Friend Jens from Lyngby
i am so sorry for your loss. i too, can relate to this song very much. i lost my husband and best friend last dec due to covid and how much things have changed since then. this song hits home for me as well.
My wife is at the end of a three year endurance with terminal cancer -44 yrs married - one of greatest concerns is how I will cope once she dies. I stumbled across this yesterday and played it for her with lyrics...letting her know that despite the vacuum in my heart - I will be okay. She was very moved, so glad that in the midst of this I could comfort her.
Feel your pain, recently lost my wife to terminal cancer, Duran Duran were one of her favourite bands, never really paid attention to the lyrics till I heard it this morning on the radio, very poignant tbh 💜👍
A rock band called Anubis Gate did a awesome cover of this! Couldn't find their version anywhere online. Only available on the bands boxset called orbits. Costed me a good amount, but well worth it when I heard this track👍
Many of us all over the world completely understand the lyrics and the perfect rhythm. It's been very rough for a while and we will find what our purpose is to contribute positively to the world around us. Love to all.
My wife died of cancer abruptly 3 years ago. I've had a real hard time with it. I was laying in bed one night "it was her birthday" I was looking at my phone and saw a reference to this song. I thought I would listen to it. I used to hear it on the radio back In the early 90's. Never knew the lyrics, but liked the song. I listened to it with the lyrics and was stunned to learn of what this song was about. It was like a call from my wife to listen to it . I was having a really tough time dealing with her death that day and Christmas was coming in a week. I can really relate to this song. It quickly became one of my favorites if not my favorite.
For me, this feels like Duran Duran's "swan song". The 80s were the best years of my life. I confess, I do cry for yesterday. I'm struggling to learn to survive, in this "ordinary world".
I didn't know this song very well and recently I bought a better amplifier and this came on the radio. It's full of little details, very rich but on pc speakers a lot gets lost and then the compression of course. Still, they put so much work in this song but the result is magnificent.
Probably in the top 5 of songs from the 90's. This album brought them back into mainstream acceptance and popularity from their slump after the end of the 80's. And my GOD did they hit a home run with this song!!! I miss the 90's but I love today. I no longer live life looking back but enjoy each and every day as it is. *" Every world , is my world"*
😭😭😭😭.. What a songggggg.. Woooow, it is just a masterpiece... Greetings from El Salvador.... Una obra maestra de la música. Saludos desde El Salvador... 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
A very haunting and beautiful song. There are a just few songs that when I listen to, time seems to stand still. It is then all the problems of the world seem to vanish while my soul gets lost into the vibe it projects. A timeless piece indeed.
To all you friends, those of you who honestly admite to be still crying for yesterday: the subject is saying "I won't cry for yesterday", it doesn't mean he acomplished his purpose yet. Obviuosly, he's still crying while he does the singing... what is is not bad or wrong at all, people sing to comfort themselves, from ancient times till nowadays...
Thanks be to the Holy Spirit. [The determined association of this song with "The Evil Within" - a song that has no evil in it whatsoever, proves that the dark side sees what is wondrous and divine in the above].
It's amazing how this song has come to my mind at such a time as this. The song, the lyrics, the video are all quite healing right now. They say you don't really love a narcissist and a narcissist doesn't love you. I'm gone from his physical presence. I need to let go....completely.
How so very beautiful song! How so very meaningful lyrics! So wonderful clip! Thank you so very much my dear friend for sharing with us!... ☆.¸¸.•°*❀☼✽✸۞♥❤♥۞✸✽☼❀*°•.¸¸.☆
Thia song it's a calling for everyone in this planet to look inside themself and go further, discarding a liquid world we are in. CARPE DIEN GUYS! Be extraordinary in all you do and in all relationahips you have right now!
I lost my husband of 40 yrs. We were young, full of life, we met each other in 5th grade, and got married out of high school. It's the hardest thing I have ever gone through, is losing my husband, my best friend. The new life I am living is Slow but steady, I miss my old life. My life is not the same, it's lonely. I have dreams of him every night, It helps me because it's like we are together again.
I lost my son a year ago. Before he passed music was a big part of our daily life. I have heard this song many time before but never really listen to the lyrics. Tonight on my way home it came on the radio and It had a different effect on my emotions. I’ve always loved this song and I consider it one of my favorites but something was different so when I got home I looked at the lyrics and I really studied them and realized just how much connected with my life and the loss of my son. Thank you Ryan for sending this song to me when I needed to truly hear it the most. 21 forever Ryan ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. When i was going through my divorce , i found comfort in songs. This used to be one of favorite songs over 30 yrs ago, it sounded nice to dance with a girl. Only after my divorce did i truly understand this song. I learnt the power of music. When you are happy, its the sound, the beats that you focus on, but when you are sad, its the lyrics.. Its only then that you truly appreciate a song.
I watched Duran Duran playing this on the Rock n Roll hall of fame and really paid attention to the words. Had to pull up the song with lyrics and sharing it with people I know are missing someone today. Very nice video
Thank You Jeremy, It's been 9 months since I commented and I have rid myself of those feelings. Some out of anger and the rest out of feeling betrayed. She took so much from me while together!!!
You see, a sunset is more than just a scientific phenomenon. It is a strong piece of evidence that somewhere out there, someone smiles down on us, knowing that at the end of the day, we need something that will remind us that it’s going to be okay. •*¨*🐬•*¨*🐬 However, you are spending this weekend stay safe and please remember those who we've lost due to the coronavirus THANK YOU. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe good song

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio Still I can't escape the ghost of you What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say Where is the life that I recognize? (Gone away) But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say "Pride will tear us both apart" Well, now pride's gone out the window Cross the rooftops, run away Left me in the vacuum of my heart What is happening to me? Crazy, some'd say Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away) But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ahh-ah-ahh Away-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay Oh, oh Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Ooh-ooh Here besides the news of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk And I don't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive I will learn to survive (Any world is my world) I will learn to survive (Any world is my world) (Every world is my world)
I can definitely relate to this song right now. I'm now single for the first time in 2 years thanks to what my traitorous and evil ex-girlfriend did to me. Betrayed me in. more ways than one. This song tells me never to give up on myself or life. I know love will find me again someday, but something tells the pain of the wait to find new love is gonna haunt me for a while. Still, I have hope and I'll never give up on myself. I will find that happiness again someday. This song helped me through the pain. Great song with a great message!
I'm a mom.....it's been 4 months....deeply grieving the death of my son....he just turned 16...a car collision took him his farther and their dog... I'm told it will never go away this pain this broken heart......we need to find our ways of learning to live in a different way....this song really speaks of this journey.....blessings strength and love to all those who identify w this song
"Las letras de "Ordinary World" fueron compuestas por Simon Le Bon como el segundo de una trilogía de canciones en honor a su difunto amigo David Miles, los otros son "Do You Believe In Shame" (1988) y "Out of My Mind "(1997)."
I didn’t really think about the meaning of this song. It’s one I remember hearing when it came out. I have depression and have thought about giving up. I keep fighting and I get the help I need. I so wish this help was free and everyone who needed it would have access to it and use it. We need to take the stigma out of mental health. I talk about mine on support friends and family who have mental health issues too.
My little child was hospitalized 2 years ago,her operation took 13 hours,it was a nightmare for me.I thought the worse thing that time.I didn't know what to do but God gave me a hope.Thanks God,you helped me when the most I needed you,now my child is 9 years old. Just God knows the cure of everything,He is doctor of doctors.
It's been 30 years since this song first came out. And it's been 19 years since I lost my best friend. This song resonates as much today as it did the night of his death.
Im in your boat too i lost my 2 best friends yrs ago but doesn t mean to say..i still cry when i think of them ..this song is a classic there s 1 particular line i cant sing..it cracks me up..im sure you ll know the line.
Easily one of the best songs Duran Duran has done in their extensive catalogue. The lyrics, especially the chorus, just hit hard and tug at the heartstrings. It's no wonder this song is used in so many poignant moments in movies, TV shows, etc. Surprised it wasn't used in The Last of Us Part 2, it should've been as when you think about it, shortly after a beloved character was killed off, the main character had to learn how to survive.
Agree with you Poetess. You must be an artist at heart because you captured the lyrics so perfectly in your photos in this video. So familiar and yet enhchanting and full of anticipation in a quiet way. Thank you
To the Love of my L͟Ife( ˘ ³˘)❤ Soon we will start our New Life together.Indeed it is a Beautiful thing🤗😘🙏 This song always brings a tear and a lump to my throat.
"Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed. Fear today, forgot tomorrow. Here besides the news of holy war, and holy need, ours is just a little sorrowed talk". - Awesome lyrics!! Puts one's personal heartbreak and grief into worldly perspective. I can honestly say that over the years I have found repeated comfort in these words (this song). From losing my girlfriends to losing my parents. Very, very powerful!
I married my childhood sweetheart and was with her for 36 years before she passed on from cancer. This is a beautiful song but I'm afraid there is no ordinary world for me.
There is. It's weird, & it's never quite normal, but it's there. I'm 4 years into that journey after a semi vs motorcycle accident took my husband of 20 years. Best of luck to you.
A wonderful, tasteful post..... perfectly rendered, without that nasty RUclips compression. Thanks much for keeping the integrity of a magnificent recording.

😢😢😢I’m so sorry
Wow. This song also reminds me of a good friend who was depressed and committed suicide in 1995.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Ya I'm a survivor of someone's suicide it's strange what brings meaning
Yes, my best friend died of a Drug overdose. I think of her, when I hear this song.
Now I understand this song... I just found out that one of my best friends died... It's so incredible how we think that the people we love will always be there... I miss you, brother... I will always miss you, Herney (cara de nalga).
+MvRkc It's the first song I heard on the radio after learning a dear friend died in the 90's
Why cara de nalga?
ein wunderschöner Titel...meinen Weg zu finden durch die gewöhnliche Welt...
Nice work. Very well done and thank you for sharing!

Here in 2024!
This is the most poetic description of the grieving process I've seen yet...
Agree
Man I can relate to this song 🎵
I lost my wife and bestfriend
As the songs goes
Where is the life I recognize 😥
i am so sorry for your loss. i too, can relate to this song very much. i lost my husband and best friend last dec due to covid and how much things have changed since then. this song hits home for me as well.
😢😢
I also suffered a loss from covid in December, I made it by the grace of God.
For whoever lost some one .I pray 🙏🏿 for comfort for you to find one day...I know how it to feels to have a broken 😢 💔
Gone away ...

My wife's death was sudden both situations are tragic time is healing my wound day by day
Feel your pain, recently lost my wife to terminal cancer, Duran Duran were one of her favourite bands, never really paid attention to the lyrics till I heard it this morning on the radio, very poignant tbh 💜👍
Bless your heart❤
My wife passend away recently, so these lyrics mean so much to me
Terribly sorry for your pain . . .
I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you have found some peace. ❤
Their best song in my opinion.
this and "come undone" are about tied for me.
I agree. Only thing that spoils it is terrible 80s drum sound.
Funny how the lyrics fit today and all the maddness
Your opinion is my opinion
@@cfcuker you prefer lars ulrich drum's sound on St.Anger album? 🤭
To this day this haunting song reminds me. Don't you ever give up on you
maxti6 AGREED!
This song saved my life in 2004.
Agreed! This song helped me through a bitter breakup!
A rock band called Anubis Gate did a awesome cover of this! Couldn't find their version anywhere online. Only available on the bands boxset called orbits. Costed me a good amount, but well worth it when I heard this track👍

Hang in there bro.
❤my heart goes to you my dear brother God bless you
This is a marvellous song....it's like a poem, a poem of modern times!
Incredibly unique!
I come back to this song a lot for some reason I just can't never let it go
I come here, so i can let go.
For me, this feels like Duran Duran's "swan song".
The 80s were the best years of my life. I confess, I do cry for yesterday. I'm struggling to learn to survive, in this "ordinary world".
you and me both brother. here I am about to turn 46 and I am clueless.
+Sum DumGuy I wish I knew what to do...its gone away...but I have to find what that is
me too mate
John Isom all we have lost along this years and How love have been use to destroy beautiful souls.
John Isom look how fast it goes. I thought that I replied to this last week.. Its been another year.. Going on 47 now lol.
I love this song. Think it's one of the most perfect songs ever. Harmonies, melodies, solos, lyrics. A huge prize for DD !
The guitar solo is like a wailing release of the pain. Powerful.
Well said! Agreed
This song saved my life. God changed my radio station for me to hear this song; I have never been the same since.
God bless you!
Wow... That sounds like it must have been almost unbelievable. Very neat.🙏🌟👌
I know where you are coming from
There is a special feeling that this song evokes
God bless the engineers that made your radio.
Just watched them inducted into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame... long overdue in my opinion. Their music will always bring me back to my teenage yrs.
2021? Someone listening?
yes
my wife is terminal with cancer ,throw in covid 19..ordinary world.. yes please

This song make me feel so deeply sad. I lost someone from my life. "Where is my friend when I need you most".
So beautiful song for me.
This is the soundtrack to my life. There’s ALWAYS a brighter day ahead if you stick around. ♥️
Amen to that Warrior Woman

Thanks for the lyric video. This song touches a lot of people . Another underated band with some great music.
I'v been listening to this song ever since I was a little kid. And I'm still listening to it right now!
This reminds me of my Dad.★★★★★

I am a newcomer the the lyrics of this song.
I lost my wife 2 years ago today. I couldn't listen to this song for a long time. I cry for yesterday.
3:47 this is where you want the volume at 100 percent
Warren! Beautiful guitar melody
4:40 my favorite part
Sounds just like Jon Anderson ♥️
Its amazing perfect
Same brother! There will always a time i reversed this bridge!
A very haunting and beautiful song. There are a just few songs that when I listen to, time seems to stand still. It is then all the problems of the world seem to vanish while my soul gets lost into the vibe it projects. A timeless piece indeed.

It's amazing how this song has come to my mind at such a time as this. The song, the lyrics, the video are all quite healing right now. They say you don't really love a narcissist and a narcissist doesn't love you. I'm gone from his physical presence. I need to let go....completely.

This is truly a survivor's song...
I lost my husband of 40 yrs.
We were young, full of life, we met each other in 5th grade, and got married out of high school.
It's the hardest thing I have ever gone through, is losing my husband, my best friend.
The new life I am living is
Slow but steady, I miss my old life.
My life is not the same, it's lonely.
I have dreams of him every night, It helps me because it's like we are together again.
Let's make sure that this song never becomes old.
Songs that touch the Soul, never get old.
I have not gotten tired of this song since it came out, I listen to it 6-7 times a week.
ive just done 5hrs on repeat with my earplugs in..i think lots of people can relate to this brilliant track.

How relevant is this song right now, the line - "here beside the news of holy war and holy need, ours is just a little sorrowed talk"

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize? (Gone away)
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well, now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away)
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ahh-ah-ahh
Away-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Oh, oh
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh-ooh
Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
I will learn to survive
(Any world is my world)
I will learn to survive
(Any world is my world)
(Every world is my world)
God, I miss you so much. You know who you are. My heart keeps breaking every day. It cannot heal. Where is the love of my life? Gone away...

Thank you for making this. I hate the official video and desperately need an alternative.
I'm a mom.....it's been 4 months....deeply grieving the death of my son....he just turned 16...a car collision took him his farther and their dog... I'm told it will never go away this pain this broken heart......we need to find our ways of learning to live in a different way....this song really speaks of this journey.....blessings strength and love to all those who identify w this song
❤❤❤❤❤❤ sending you all the love from India
I am so sorry to hear about your losses. 😞♥️
Hey mom, sending Good Vibes only.
Hang in there❤️🩹🌹
May his memory be a blessing,

"Las letras de "Ordinary World" fueron compuestas por Simon Le Bon como el segundo de una trilogía de canciones en honor a su difunto amigo David Miles, los otros son "Do You Believe In Shame" (1988) y "Out of My Mind "(1997)."
Great video! Thanks 😎
Thank you very much for this video ....
Thanks a lot for uploading.. this lovely song..
I didn’t really think about the meaning of this song. It’s one I remember hearing when it came out. I have depression and have thought about giving up. I keep fighting and I get the help I need. I so wish this help was free and everyone who needed it would have access to it and use it. We need to take the stigma out of mental health. I talk about mine on support friends and family who have mental health issues too.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanx ❤
Best lyric video for this song. Awesome background.
I wont cry for yesterday,i Will learn to survive
I THINK THIS IS THERE BEST SONG BY FAR .. AMAZING LYRICS… GREAT COMPOSITION… LOVE IT 🔝💯💜🎸🥁✌🏿😍
Not 1980"s......"Ordinary World" is the first single from Duran Duran's self-titled 1993 album
My little child was hospitalized 2 years ago,her operation took 13
hours,it was a nightmare for me.I thought the worse thing that time.I didn't know what to do but God gave me a hope.Thanks God,you helped me when the most I needed you,now my child is 9 years old.
Just God knows the cure of everything,He is doctor of doctors.
Very cool song
It's been 30 years since this song first came out. And it's been 19 years since I lost my best friend.
This song resonates as much today as it did the night of his death.
Im in your boat too i lost my 2 best friends yrs ago but doesn t mean to say..i still cry when i think of them ..this song is a classic there s 1 particular line i cant sing..it cracks me up..im sure you ll know the line.
BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for doing this.
This reminds me of when I met my wife in 1992. We have been married for 24 years :)
kevin u Congratulations! I wonder about the same. Greetings from Krakow!
Easily one of the best songs Duran Duran has done in their extensive catalogue. The lyrics, especially the chorus, just hit hard and tug at the heartstrings. It's no wonder this song is used in so many poignant moments in movies, TV shows, etc. Surprised it wasn't used in The Last of Us Part 2, it should've been as when you think about it, shortly after a beloved character was killed off, the main character had to learn how to survive.
Agree with you Poetess. You must be an artist at heart because you captured the lyrics so perfectly in your photos in this video. So familiar and yet enhchanting and full of anticipation in a quiet way. Thank you
What a masterpiece of a song 10/10💓
understatement words can t describe just how good this song really is.
I just love how great classics are simply ageless
I will leaaarn to surviiive !!!
The best version of this phenomenal classic especially, Everyone... is my world and the extended ending :)
Original version
Just heard this Beautiful song in person last night. #dd4life
When the electric guitar hits, gives me goosebumps
The best song they ever did ❤
We are certainly not living in an ordinary world. Pray to God! Jesus is Lord! My King.
Still an awesome tune ..
Great guitar riff
To the Love of my L͟Ife( ˘ ³˘)❤ Soon we will start our New Life together.Indeed it is a Beautiful thing🤗😘🙏
This song always brings a tear and a lump to my throat.
Great song,
my family members will be playing this song when they spread my ashes in the mountains. love this song.
"Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed. Fear today, forgot tomorrow. Here besides the news of holy war, and holy need, ours is just a little sorrowed talk". - Awesome lyrics!! Puts one's personal heartbreak and grief into worldly perspective. I can honestly say that over the years I have found repeated comfort in these words (this song). From losing my girlfriends to losing my parents. Very, very powerful!
I married my childhood sweetheart and was with her for 36 years before she passed on from cancer. This is a beautiful song but I'm afraid there is no ordinary world for me.
There is. It's weird, & it's never quite normal, but it's there. I'm 4 years into that journey after a semi vs motorcycle accident took my husband of 20 years. Best of luck to you.
A wonderful, tasteful post..... perfectly rendered, without that nasty RUclips compression. Thanks much for keeping the integrity of a magnificent recording.
Same..extraordinary ..this song did and does help me survive
It is one of the most beautiful songs written and the accompanying music just makes it perfect. Sad and haunting Applicabe to many many people!
WOW 🤗 Beautiful work 👍🏼 Thank you 🙏🏼💖🙏🏼
