I haven't heard such an amazing fusion of orchestral and dance since I heard Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat.
If they were left to their own devices...
They probably would.
In a West end town.
DJ Culture in suburbia? You love to see it.
I like what everyone did here
The Pet Shop Boys have been doing this for over 35 years now, a truly cerebral lyrical group who incorporates impeccable music and melody. I don't know if there's any other group out there like these guys today. I definitely dub PSB a Supergroup
Yes! And with super synths!
"the smiths you can dance to"
I'd say Daft Punk was close... WAS
Can't stop hearing this song over and over and over again
One of the smartest songs in years: "all the schadenfreude it's cost
calculating what you've lost."
Go watch your Ricky Morty andy
@@user-ou1ff6fg6c What does that even mean and what does that have to do with the song?
The were supposed to be just a pop-dance group, but they have the best lyrics of any serious group I've ever heard.
Agreed. Lyrically and musically, they blow al their synthpop contemporaries out of the water
@@Danimal1577 Not only synthpop. They have more original and interesting lyrics that many pop-rock groups which have supposedly deeper lyrics, which was my original meaning.
One of their most underrated tracks but still brilliant to listen to !
LVM y el artista anteriormente conocido como Queque, me trajeron a esta versión

Capitulo?😁
@@arnau9 osti.ass, no me acuerdo, pero eran de los 4 últimos capitulos
Y el flipao de Broncano con la original...
One of the best Pet Shop Boys tracks. Loved it from the first time I heard it.
I agree. True masterpiece. This one, Fluorescent, , The Last to die, and Thursday just got me right from the start. Since of course most songs anywhere take a couple listens to get the feel. PSB has a way of getting into your heart and imagination right off quite often.
Couldn't agree more!
Yes, and it's absolutely a shame that this one has never been allowed to be a hit altough it was a single. 20-25 earlier this would've been a sure number 1! Shame on today's record buyers (or rather: track downloaders) ^^
Ive followed Pet Shop Boys since West End Girls and this is one of the strongest tracks they have put out. Ever. After the mixed bag that was Elysium this new album is a definite pleasant surprise, and is a triumph.
So true. They've been around nearly 40 years 😊
わたしも、ペットシェツプボーイズを、昔から、聴いていて、大好きです。ラジオで、始め聴きました。悲しいとき、救われました。
I can't say how much I love this song. Firstly, the music in itself is brilliant, particularly with the 'sample' of Henry Purcell/Michael Nyman (which really brings that 'bourgeois' touch to the song, of course, hehe). But also : the lyrics. I love them ; they're hilarious and very clever !
@Master Of Puppets No thanks
Absolute wonder of a song. I just can’t get over it. Going strong for PSB at 16 years old baby. “When you walked out you did me a favor, it’s absolutely clear to me, that love is a bourgeois construct, just like they said at university.” 🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️
That Michael Nyman sample is genius.
Did you know neil is now 59?
Just amazing talent. He and Neil were the soundtrack to my youth in the 80s. Love Neil's vocal performances and the soaring themes. EPIC!
I love Pet Shop boys a lot! specially Neil Tennant he is a gentleman and cute!
:)
I totally agree: I mean, "Is he gorgeous or what!"
I'm a straight male, yet I have to say: abso-friggin-lutely! :)
still one of the greatest PSB tracks of all time.
Wow!!! What a great song!!!! The beginning is a masterpiece!
But you are aware that's a Michel Nyman piece, aren't you? It's called "Chasing Sheep is Best Left To Shepherds"
Which is likewise based in a excerpt from a Henry Purcell's opera from the 17th century
I didn't know it, thanks for telling me.
Really? 17th century? That's incredible!
The first few seconds remind me a bit of an Enya song
This must be awarded as song of the year!!! It's truly AMAZING!!! Pet Shop Boys are the best on Earth, any other singer or group can only LEARN from Neil and Chris. PSB RULE!!!!!!!
The best of pop in the whole world: Pet Shop Boys.....What else?
One of the best music composition of 2000s. I saw them in Philharmonic music hall in Washington DC. Best concert, so much energy and they played all their best new and old songs!
I agree that love is nothing more than a bourgeois construct
It's just a worn out hollow word.
The most overused lie ... smh
You said it. At least that's been my experience. And superficial as well. I'm totally jaded.
We have to seize the means of love and distribute it evenly, comrade
Clever mix of two the 1980's greatest artists - Michael Nyman and the Pet Shop Boys. I love this...takes me right back to my youth and happy times in the early 1980's. Thank you Neil and Chris and all involved.
"You won't see me with a bunch of roses promising fatality" - now that's a misheard lyric waiting to be found. ;)
The first 10 seconds or so sound like the beginning of an Enya song. Anyhow, this song is one of PSB's masterpieces.
The "whoah's" during the chorus breaks sounds like that Lady Gaga jam
@@Danimal1577 Lady Gaga? Eeeew ;-)))
Chasing Sheep is Best Left to Shepherds is a piece of minimalist music from the soundtrack for The Draughtsman's Contract, written by Michael Nyman. It is based on a ground bass from the Prelude to Act III, Scene 2 of Henry Purcell’s opera, King Arthur.[1]
That's why PSB are so amazing
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! x
This is just pure class
Neil & Chris have been making pure brilliance for over 30 years now and it shows no sign of letting up.
Happy birthday Chris Lowe! Wish you all the best :)!
i hope he had a great day
Musical and synth genius.
For a long time I have handled Pet Shop Boys as a crossover band geniously not turning classical music into pop music but the other way around. Listening to Introspective quite a few times has given me the notion that each piece is something like a movement of a symphony. On top of it all, this Purcell piece is the theme of one of my very favourite movies the Draughtman's Contract. All in one, thank you indeed Neill and Chris. God, what an experience it'd be to have a beer with you in Budapest.
After hearing the "comeback" hype about Electric, I expected a good PSB album. But I didn't anticipate THIS!
This album (and this track in particular) blew way past my expectations. I am in awe of their ability to constantly confound expectations. They're unstoppable.
This has to be one of the best songs PSB have released in years. Incredible. And they're the real deal. They ain't jumping on no bandwagon cos they built the bloody bandwagon 30 years ago.
A perfect moment for my soul : listen this music; sorry, better my trip over the clouds, enjoying the sunset, at the Atlantic Ocean, in my last trip to Amsterdam. WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW ! ! !
Thank you Pet Shop Boys for keeping giving us amazing songs
I really, really, really hope that the Pet Shop Boys are smart enough to release this as the next single. The strongest song from the album, but also one of their best songs in their career.
What's not to like? Love the PSB's music.
PET SHOP BOYS!!!! los mejores exponentes del technopop fino, elegante...escucharlos hoy y los temas del ayer hacen que me gusten mas...fanatico de la primera hora...los vi una vez en argentina y la gente explotaba con ellos...unos grosos...los mejores de la historia y al dia de hoy UNICOS E INIGUALABLES!!!!
Por supuesto...unos genios!!!
Sim amo !!!!!
_los mejores exponentes del technopop fino, elegante_
Yo recién los estoy descubriendo... y tengo que decir que estoy de acuerdo.
This song is immense.
I'm not a great PSB fan, but cannot deny they DO put out some real classics.
Robin Topping 3rd Aug 2014
This album changed my life forever, still one of their best ones!!
Introspective and Behaviour were great too
Electric was a marvelous expression of our zeitgeist. Brought on from the mind of culminating experiences, mind and audio blend most perfectly in this chapter.
Best song on the album by a mile. Just can't stop listening.
Thank you Pet Shop Boys for keeping giving us beautiful songs ❤️💜🎵
Viva Pet Shop Boys!! Album ''Electric'' is super like ''Elysium''. Good health Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe! Lithuania :)
Indeed
'Super' is also super!
Do you reckon they read this comment and got Super?
Viva sim
Electric Is One Of The Very Best PSB Albums Ever Made My Favourite Since The Very Album Musical Masterpiece
Two of my favourite producers of music in one; Michael Nyman and the Pet Shop Boys :)
I've been both a Michael Nyman-fan and a PSB-fan since my teens, so this was a match truly made in heaven.
I'm just a kid that wasn't around to witness PSB the 80's, but personally, this track reminds me a lot of "Go West", so it's good in my books. Overall, I really like the album.
And "Go West" is very like USSR anthem.
@@alexpest4234 Wow what an old comment of mine. Damn I wish I was still a kid. Adulting sucks.
@@niteflash06 Agree. ))
one of the best songs on this album is my favorite widely recommend
!!!!!!!
After all this years you still sound great! Depeche Mode and Pet Shop are my fav band ever
What a fantastic song! PSB FOREVER!
Been rocking to you boys for almost 30 years! Thank you♡♡♡
Sean Murphy 😁
one of my favorite song of all time!!!!!! good job PSB !!!!
Love when they twist and inverse it all... 'Until you come back to me'. Love matters
Two of my passions together: Pet Shop Boys and Michael Nyman.
THIS BROUGHT THE PSB BACK TO ME! THANK YOU NEIL AND CHRIS!
This the best they have done in 20 years. Love it.
The greatest singers on era!!! I love you so much Pet Shop Boys!!!!
They are the best group of the world thanx for living here in this planet
Grate songs Pet shop boys,, i griow up with these boys song,, bring my memorys back... Well done boys ,, you are tge best
Great, grew, songs, brings, memories, the
Perfect song and lyrics! So brilliant! I love Electric album. It's a masterpiece!
I love older PSB music and Actually album is my "first love"
3:01 - 3:46 Best part of this song, in my opinion.
What an incredilbe song...I'm playing it over and over again. It would be a mistake if this isnt released as their next single.
Absolutely incredible lyricism and wordplay, i tip my hat to you boys
This is perfect electronica. Just rousing, thrilling, classical and perfect.
Brilliant track.The album Electric is a must have for fans of quality dance music.
Pet shop boys is the best
just replenish my cd collection buying psb singles cost me a fortune but worth it and this one was one of them
good song. 😎😎
Pet Shop Boys são eternos.
Can't quite believe they DIDN'T play this at Hogmanay!!! This is possibly the most awesome track they've ever done. That and King's Cross, which they also didn't play (though fair enough on that one - it's fairly inappropriate for New Year). Neil! Chris! What gives?
I love the arrangement behind the chorus.
love this song so much
on first listen, my reaction was "I'm Bored, no new ground here."
But I opened my old Pet Head Heart and fell in love all over again. See you in Oakland, CA Oct 7th. My 5th time seeing PSB...
I've been taking my time for a long time
Putting my feet up a lot
Speaking English as a foreign language
any words that I haven't forgot
I've been thinking how I can't be bothered
to wash the dishes or remake the bed
What's the point when I could doss instead?
I've been hanging out with various riff-raff
somewhere on the Goldhawk Road
I don't think it's gonna be much longer
'til I'm mugging up on the penal code
Love is a bourgeois construct
so I've given up on the bourgeoisie
Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy.
When you walked out you did me a favour
you made me see reality
that love is a bourgeois construct
It's a blatant fallacy
You won't see me with a bunch of roses
promising fidelity
Love doesn't mean a thing to me.
Talking tough and feeling bitter
but better now it's clear to me
that love is a bourgeois construct
so I've given up the bourgeoisie.
While the bankers all get their bonuses
I'll just get along with what I've got
Watching the weeds in the garden
Putting my feet up a lot
I'll explore the outer limits of boredom
moaning periodically
Just a full-time, lonely layabout
that's me.
When you walked out you did me a favour
It's absolutely clear to me
that love is a bourgeois construct
just like they said at university
I'll be taking my time for a long time
with all the schadenfreude it's cost
calculating what you've lost.
Now I'm digging through my student paperbacks
Flicking through Karl Marx again
Searching for the soul of England
Drinking tea like Tony Benn
Love is just a bourgeois construct
so I'm giving up the bourgeoisie
until you come back to me.
Talking tough and feeling bitter
but better now it's clear to me
that love is a bourgeois construct
so I've given up the bourgeoisie.
Aaaaahhh !!! I love this song !!! One of my favourites, the new "classic" of Pet Shop Boys. All the songs of the album are excelent, congratulations guys !!!! :)
Yes, that's Michael Nyman. The music from "The Draughtsman's contract (1989)".
King Arthur - Act 3, Scene 2:

A wonderful mixture of old and new PSB. Great song and TEXT!!!
To me, even PSBs songs I don't like much on first listen have an uncanny tendency to grow on me, and all of a sudden they're in rotation on my playlist. I started playing King's Cross for some mysterious reason about 4 months ago, and soon discovered that Traci Thorn had made a really cool cover version of the song. Neither this song nor Thursday hit me on first listens to the album as Axis and Vocal grabbed me first; now I am playing both a lot. Been a fan since West End Girls.
Have you heard the Claudia Brucken version of King's Cross? A good version of a great song and i know what you mean about their songs growing on you.
depeon o,neill
Sociologists' anthem right here!
Pet shop boys o melhor de todos os tempos
Once again, pet shop boys saunter along the tightrope that runs between the ludicrous and the brilliant. This could've been toe-curling, but it's perfect - throwaway pop that you wouldn't ever want to throw away.
The Pet Shop Boys are the second greatest British band of all time! No Serial Killer are the best British band of all time. No Serial Killer.
Best song on the album by miles but then it is a truly stunning album
My Valentines Day-Hymne
I'm 18 and I love the pet shop boys. Better than that other crap rap stuff I keep hearing
I heard this yesterday at a spinning class for the first time, and have now been listening to it almost nonstop. Brilliant. The rest of the album on the other hand has not caught my attention... Can't wait to hear a 3 min radio edit of this.
Are you still spinning?
"Electric" Is a Masterpiece!!! the BEST Electro Pop Album ever!
Únicos en el mundo, nadie se les compara y cada nueva canción nos emociona.
AMAZING TRACK
I am a HUGE Pet Shop fan. All New songs is amazing...
impossible de sortir ce titre de ma tete. C'est brillant.
I loved to the pet shop boys from México
Chasing sheep is best left for shepherds. PSB & Michael Nyman, you got to love it!
I heard this a few days ago very early in the morning, listening to the radio. Instantly hooked. I lived in the Canaries for some years and while I appreciated the local music to some extent, my CDs of the Pet Shop Boys kept me sane!!
Let's face it though folks, this track is a cracker. It's going to be one of those tracks that is played at every party and it will definitely get everybody up on the dance floor. I can't fault it. Going to suggest it's played at next gym group!! Love it!!
Classic band. Classy track.
Kings of the music universal 🤓😎
❤️❤️❤️❤️
And yet another masterpiece from the kings of pop!! Absolutely fantastic - love it!!
Самая лучшая музыка и песни моей самой любимой группы!!!!!!!!
Like good red wine, these guys just get better and better with time.
Bloody great track.

Love the Nyman bit!
Epic tune
This is their best song.

PSB played this song in Miami Beach on the Super Tour!
I've been waiting since '86 to really like a PSB album, and 27 years later they drop this.
Outstanding!
