Duran Duran - Careless Memories (Official Music Video)

Is it wrong that this band still really excite me as much today as in 1981?

[@michaelengle9062]

Not at all...they're still putting out good music. Great band

[@rick_terscale1111]

Looking back at all the bands and music I used to listen to back then, I'm surprised by the bands that I actually have a deep appreciation and respect for. I mean I liked the music of Duran Duran back in the day but because there was so much other music around back then, and because I was just a kid, they were lost in the mix of all the pop and rock and new wave bands that were around. But looking back, much of the music and many of the bands I once liked in the 80's I've since come to realise lacked true talent and musical production genius. Many were just disposable pop and rock artists. But Duran Duran were absolute geniuses at creating, arranging and producing unique, seductive and indulgent music that truly stands the test of time. Their videos are works of music video art. The guys are just such nice guys. They are truly dedicated to music as they are still producing music to this day. And they've released a number of hits over a span of 4 decades. They are exciting because they keep evolving and entertain us with new music and with their stories from their musical journey and with their music from their early days which is still pure ear candy.

Nope. Their songs, especially this one, still make me lose it.

This song should have been a bigger hit..it's so utterly brilliant.

I seriously miss the 80's, and Duran Duran played a huge part in what made that decade so great.

[@GregJoshuaW]

Can we all appreciate the musical talent in this track??? The guitar, bass and synth are so tight.

[@NubianEagle]

Perfection. Simon, Nick, Andy, Roger and John all shine in this single. It was a flop upon release, but it's become a staple in their live shows. I loved it in the 80s, and I still love it in 2020.

[@MsElke11]

great rhythm!!

[@cherdawg]

Seriously. Everything is just so tight. I still don't understand why it wasn't as big of a hit as it should have been.

[@soulminer]

Still my favourite Duran track after all these years.

[@leart78]

[@antster1983]

EMI chose it as a single. After it crashed in the lower reaches of the Top 40, the label decided to let the band choose the singles instead. Next up was "Girls on Film".

[@Lee71England]

What an absolutely wonderful tune. I was 9 years old when this was out. I had a best friend called Simon. (And, no, his surname wasn't Le Bon! Funnily enough!) He adored this song. I still remember him singing it one evening as we went home after mucking about for hours after school on the local playing field. 40 years ago, but an incredibly vivid - though not careless - memory. A couple of years later he moved to Surrey.....and, of course, eventually we lost touch. Have been trying to find him for the last 20 years or so, but all to no avail. I'm 50 now, and he will be next year. Simon, if you ever see this, get in touch. I'd give my right arm to reminisce about those childhood days with you.....and, hey, maybe play utterly brilliant stuff like Careless Memories whilst we do.

[@carolvillines7616]

I wish I could of met hmm and Andy! Love Duran,Duran!

[@hab9609]

How time flies. This track is tight! I wish today’s music could move me like 70s and 80s did

[@TheStrangetoons]

I don't understand why this song didn't sell at the time. For me, it is one of my favorite early numbers by Duran Duran.

[@lewisner]

There was a lot of competition. New Romantics, NWOBHM, it was all happening.

Duran Duran could have been the biggest band in history. And still be today. They wanted to change their formula and that's how history went... But from 1981 to 1985, boy, they were kings.

Been a fan of DD over 30 years. Never realized they did a video for this song.

[@jacquelinemullan4900]

Yes, but the song wasn't such a great hit back then as it should have been, its a great hit in their concerts I thought Simon was the most gourgous man on earth when I first seen him in 1980.

[@boudusaved4719]

I just saw Duran Duran at the Hollywood Bowl last night. They played this song last night. It was outstanding. I'm 50 and had never heard this song before. Shocked to see it came out in 1981!?!?! I thought I knew all their tunes. Need to revisit the early albums. They still put on an incredible show. Check them out while you still can. Nile Rodgers and Chic opened for them. Nile was their producer for a while.

[@che630]

A very underated Duran song. One of my faves even now.

[@WowbaggerTheInfinitelyProlonge]

This is probably my favorite "broken heart" song ever. The lyrics are brilliant, and the desperate anger and pain is conveyed thru the music perfectly. Such a fckn awesome song. "I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you, I know I'd cry - what am I supposed to do - follow you?"

[@clewismessina6630]

Is there anything more 80' s than the 'jogging in place to every other beat' dance? I've always thought of this as more of an Andy Taylor song, and maybe the most Andy song of them all, aside from 'Hold Back the Rain'- which is just dynamite. I find the interpretation of the song kind so literal as to be somewhat humorous, which is topped in humor by Simon's overdramatic acting. It's nice to see Andy mug for the camera, and John's always good eye-candy, but what really catches me by surprise is Roger's clothes. Everyone is completely New Romantic (Simon and Nick, predictably going all out), whereas Roger looks like he's ready to start on the Rio tour. I've always honestly thought every member of the band brings something valuable/essential, but have also always thought of Roger as the unsung hero. His drumming is tight, flawless, relentless and really perfect on every song. Such a great band- even on b-sides like this.
