Brothers REACT to TALK TALK: Life's What You Make It LIVE 1986

Talk Talk was an influential British band formed in the early 1980s, known for their innovative approach to music that blended elements of post-punk, new wave, and experimental rock. The band consisted of Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar), Paul Webb (bass), and Lee Harris (drums).
Their song "Life's What You Make It" was released in 1986 as a part of their album "The Colour of Spring." It became one of their most popular and enduring tracks. The song is characterized by its driving rhythm, catchy melody, and philosophical lyrics that explore themes of self-empowerment and personal responsibility. Its upbeat tempo and anthemic quality contributed to its success, making it a staple of '80s music.
Talk Talk's evolution from a synth-pop sound to a more experimental, atmospheric style was evident in their later albums like "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock." Mark Hollis, the band's frontman, pursued a more minimalist and avant-garde musical direction, distancing the band from commercial success but earning critical acclaim for their artistic integrity and boundary-pushing music.
Despite their disbandment in the late '90s, Talk Talk's influence on alternative and experimental music remains significant, and "Life's What You Make It" stands as a testament to their ability to create catchy yet thought-provoking music.
