Lyrics:
And as I wander down to where you lay
The blood rushed up to meet the roses
In your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
When you're not really there?
Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
Climbing fast the sun broad streaming
Laughter down into your empty gaze
Where can I find out
How I want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you...calling calling calling calling
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me?
How do you really dare?

After all these years, So Red the Rose is still one of my favorite albums.

[@alecorgnali]

Es fantástico, puedo escucharlo de principio a fin.

[@MsHotMess.]

Fell in love with the name Arcadia as a child after reading Isaac Asimov’s book Second Foundation. Then as a teen, D2 Simon, Nick & Roger created Arcadia. After listening to this album for the 1st time, I had a dream of having a daughter that I named Arcadia. 5 years later I named my 1st child, a daughter, Arcadia. As an adult I got to meet Nick & Simon. Nick & chatted about the name Arcadia. He found the name on a grave stone in an old cemetery somewhere I Europe & I told him about Issac Asimov’s sci-fi character. Over a decade later, my beautiful daughter, Arcadia, died. Today is the 1st time in over a decade that I’ve been able to listen to this album again without breaking down & crying. Almost. This song represents the loss & empty hole that was left in my heart & soul when she died. I miss her so much that my entire being aches with longing to hold her in my arms again.😓

The people we love the most live in our memories, and I'm sure, that when we need them most, they visit us in our dreams.

I sincerely hope you're doing ok 💕Arcadia is a truly beautiful name too 🤍

[@SagaciousSix]

This whole album is the epitome of hauntingly beautiful.

[@michaelscoots]

One of my all time favorite albums, period! Revisiting this video and their beautiful songs after many years - none of today’s music comes close in my book. So glad I grew up with D2 and the music of Arcadia in my life. So creative and expressive - true art.

[@mraven7507]

And again with the artwork for ordinary world . Dean chamberlain

[@thecollierreport]

Absolutely! I listened to it over and over when it came out!

[@miked3168]

Song is texture upon texture. Listen to this in the dark, eyes closed, lights off with good headphones and envelope yourself in the tapestry of soundscapes and ethereal dreaming.

[@johnboehmer6683]

It truly is an amazing song, such a powerful emotional punch to the whole thing. It instantly blew me away back in the day, as my impression of Duran Duran at the time was of a bubble gum pop group, no real musical ability. I would love to have been there to see this song evolve from beginning to end in the studio, really an amazing work.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

The fretless bass on this album is intoxicating

[@reneeshoregirl8526]

Yess.... I've been doing that for many many years!!!

[@jtfrancis1745]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs the boys ever have written coupled with the most beautiful video that has ever been made thanks to Dean Chamberlain.

[@mattma96]

How I wish they could still create such hauntingly beautiful songs nowadays～

[@frankiethefish73]

I bought this album on cassette in '85 as a 12 year old. I was in awe of the beauty of this song. I'd listen to it, rewind it, and listen to it again and again.

[@eekanif]

Still doing it...

[@kostasjohnd]

If this isn't art, then there is no such thing as art

[@drrevef4253]

Yes, this is art!

[@mattma96]

I'd say... this is the paramount of art~

[@Aushra1969]

I love Simon’s voice but, this is one song where I extra love it. Hard to believe it’s been almost 40 years since they did this project. I’ve been a Duranie since I was 12 years old and always will be.

[@franks3346]

I was actually able to tell Nick Rhodes in person that I thought So Red The Rose was a masterpiece. I thought that in 1985 and I think that now in 2021. Nick didn’t seem surprised and he thanked me.

[@lbclark1]

I definitely agree. I am a lifelong Duran Duran fan, but Arcadia was really something very special. I’m glad it was one magical album with Nick and Simon. Some projects need to be small to be perfect. So Red the Rose is in my top 2 for desert island discs.

[@KevinLancewicz-ur1db]

This song has always been my favorite song on So Red the Rose. But the whole album is great and beautiful. 🖤

[@reneeshoregirl8526]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. A couple decades ago i used to listen to it with earphones on in the dark. I still get the same feelings from it. ❤❤❤

[@BUISAN_MUSIC]

The best album DD ever recorded. It's one of the best albums of the '80 too. So underrated though

[@johnrappaport3105]

tis is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time

[@BUISAN_MUSIC]

@@johnrappaport3105 Totally agree. Cheers.

[@johnboehmer6683]

I think there were only eight songs on it, right? The only drawback to it, but it definitely created that effect of leaving you wanting more...

[@desertdweller4316]

Underated masterpiece,not everyone can understand!

[@beachesbikescoffeecats1917]

Wow. This really took me back. This was my favorite song on this album and hearing it again so many years later, is absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@vitorabuzin6274]

Pure art, 35 years ago. Simply out of space.

[@workthrew]

The quintessential track from the quintessential album of a quintessential genre. That is all there is to say, frankly. Except that in the end of an age before digital video effects, and the end of an age of musicians who didn't drop straight to digital audio tools, we find ourselves here: right about here. The only real tragedy is that in either a century, or a millennia, or an epoch from now, no-one will remember this song and this video for the cultural landmark that it is.

[@Mssipequeen]

LOVE This song ! IT's so beautiful ! and the agony and in Simons vocals is so organic . This album is beautiful and masterful I have it on Vinyl from back in '85 . Got it on my player now

[@yasneiraesther9486]

[@patriciaharrison]

This whole album is truly beautiful, haunting beautiful, and each song is truly a masterpiece!

[@spears8471]

SRTR - the best Duran2 album that never was.

[@mattma96]

Definitely the paramount of art～

[@scottdenny2281]

Absolutely!

[@uwi2]

I still remember, back in the 85, i fell in love with this song from the very first time i heard

[@marcokoina34]

One of my favourite albums "So red the rose", maybe the best!

[@Stefano4791]

IMO this is one of the most beautiful videos ever made. Not to mention the song, of course. So underrated...as everything in DD

[@SGBassplayer]

Has the acid kicked in yet? Mark Egan playing an eight-string fretless bass guitar on this, an extremely rare instrument. I knew I needed one the moment I heard this song for the first time. Gorgeous song, ends far too soon.

[@johnboehmer6683]

All excellent songs do... end way too soon, that is.

[@wojciechgreczko539]

ARCADIA " So Red The Rose " jedna z najlepszych płyt na świecie !!! To jest kosmos 👍👌✌️

Damn of luv this song. Had it on repeat so many times in my room during college to decompress in 1987. 😎

[@marcelocarcamo]

Dave Gilmour on guitar, simply dreamy and mistic sound.

[@paulbyrne2445]

Soundtrack to one of the best years of my life.

[@jacquelinemullan4900]

Love Duran Duran everything they do is so unquic and wonderful love Simon's voice they are so talented that's why I'm a life long fan got all their wonderful albums can't wait for the release of their new album in early spring.

[@earthwatcher2012]

This song has always touched me so deeply...

[@deadohiosky1701]

Wow, I'm instantly transported back to 1985, banging away on my Commodore 64 keyboard. I literally wore this cassette out. Had to trash it and buy a new one. It was such an unexpected work of art when released, after being distraught over the prospects of a DD breakup. Not sure I've seen these vids, thanks for sharing!

[@mraven7507]

Dean chamberlain really worked magic on this video. Love all his collaboration with duran

[@Sinjinator]

Reminds me of the All She Wants Is video. 🤩

[@CraigandJane1]

That’s some of the best analog photography for one song I’ve ever seen.

[@MrPt7]

Love the mood of this song & one of my favourite videos, period. Beautiful.

[@johnboehmer6683]

Right, videos virtually never capture the spirit or the feel of the song. This song in my opinion, with it's extreme moodiness, and strange emotion it evokes is particularly difficult to capture in a video. And while I wouldn't say they nailed it (of course that's left to the interpretation of each individual), I will say it is excellent, and comes as close to doing so as could be done. Maybe if they had slowed the motion down about 30%, it would have evoked that surreal feel the song captures so well a bit better.

[@MrDelaney1]

This song is our lovesong with my wife!!!

[@Stiffd1]

But I bet she’s not your wife! : D

[@fugazi5266]

Almost 40 years. Incredible.

This song makes me think of the old Irish ballad "through the faire"... My soul bleeds.

[@flyjet787]

One of the best videos of the mid 1980's (and there were a lot of brilliant videos then).

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

2 members of D2 can put out an album in 1985 that’s better then any modern day pop i offering. This is an absolutely amazing snd underrated album

[@johnrappaport3105]

This is quite possibly the greatest album ever made.

[@johnboehmer6683]

The only problem with it is it's only about two songs from being an EP!

[@duranfanvr882]

Never saw this video before .... the style reminded me of Duran Duran's "All She Wants Is" and now I realize that it's from the same director (Dean Chamberlain). Absolutely love this song!

[@josephsmall4270]

Fantastic song with touches of other bands like Japan & Roxy Music in it.

[@Roger-ss2lk]

The imagery is so freaking beautiful 🖤

I have a memory of putting this album on the turntable, and being lulled to sleep by this song.

[@gemmarichardson2020]

Cheers to director, Dean Chamberlain, for being such a rare talent but also a genius visionary with the patience of a saint. the time it took was so well worth it. this is more than a music video. it is pure ART. "missing" has always been ingrained in my head as being one of the most exquisite films yet each time i watch it, it's as mesmerizing as the first time i saw it many decades ago. you and DD magic together edited for spelling errors, i'm tired

[@cherrylattimore99]

this is one of my top 5 songs of all time. Still, all these years later, this song haunts me with it's beauty. And the thunder to finish the song is *sigh* worthy. thanks for posting such a clasdic, perhaps some new Duranies are being converted to our "new religion" ;)

[@Aramanth]

⚪🔴🟣⚫🌹 *Love Arcadia!!* They were the more artier ethereal limb of Duran. 🎇 _Lady Ice_ is my favorite and deserved an epic video... _Missing_ is still magical though.

[@mrmedallis]

Agree

[@Sinjinator]

I keep getting El Diablo stuck in my head… and this year, Re-Election Day 😉

[@Aramanth]

@@Sinjinator LOL Yeah for some reason I have "El Diablo" in my head too, don't know why. That line "many lights die, many tears rain, when those tears run dry on a mountain madness day" keeps rolling through my mind for some reason!

[@cbyrne7609]

I've dreamed since '85 for a SRTR2. Still dreaming...

[@marcierenee15]

Still one of my favorite songs, all these decades later.

[@erregi4946]

The Jim Morrison influence on Simon is here evident more than ever

[@ShawnLennox]

Interesting that they used a filming technique that would later be reused for All She Wants Is...

It’s not Duran Duran. Arcadia was a side project with Simon, Nick, and Roger. John and Andy did Power Station with Robert Palmer (RIP)

So prefect, it's a shame we never got to see ARCADIA on tour, I saw The Power Station twice. Maybe the negative thumbs down are from the folks who worked on The Power Station project! LOL Just kidding! ;)

I still can't imagine how this technique or imagery, lights, glows and shadows were implemented in the 80's but I like it a lot. Videos like this or "All She Wants Is" are always amazing to me!

This track is stunning, always has been my fave from the album. El diablo stood out too.
