Duran Duran - Come Undone (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@werper09]

When you come undone isn't necessarily about getting undressed as much as it is when everything falls apart.

[@donquixote...]

Well, the way I heard him (Simon Lebonn) explain it is that it is like the first time you fall in love. But the mood and imagery doesn't really seem like that at all, more like breaking apart from a passionate romance in some tragic way, or the tearing between fears and hopes... But what do I know...

[@24G-p5r]

Coming undone to me is when you break down emotionally and you want to reach out only to those very close to you

[@3DJapan]

"when you come undone" could mean, when your life is unraveling.

[@vanjalavoie550]

That's how I look at it too.

[@basiabasia3387]

or breaking into pieces ... it may also have a sexual connotation :):)

[@jamesalexander5623]

It's a Very English Expression ....

[@markrichards636]

Yes, correct Phil

[@psychoticchipmunk5298]

This is one of my favs of theirs. Completely underrated.

[@stang7342]

Mine too...

[@Reani71]

It actually was a pretty well known song, reaching number 7 in the US and number 13 in the UK, that's not my definition of underrated. it's a great tune and was not their biggest hit, that is true. But underrated Duran Duran songs IMHO are songs like 'Do You Believe in Shame' or 'Careless Memories'.

[@Fairy_princess214]

It was overplayed on pop radio and stations like MTV and VH1. I seriously got sick of it.

[@canopyfields]

Pretty sure this hit the top 5 of billboard top 100 or in American top 40s in 1993

[@cynthiacole6140]

So underrated, in the sense that Duran Duran gets NO radio airplay at this point. Yeah it was overplayed back in the day, but they deserve to be played on today's stations.

[@michaellavender6730]

The woman in question is Tessa Niles, she's an English singer who does a lot of backing vocals

[@xoxxobob61]

It would have been nice if they gave her credit in the song title as in "Duran Duran featuring Tessa Niles". Her vocals are a integral part of this song.

[@vanjalavoie550]

She's awesome!

[@plop6759]

I remember her from Pet Shop Boys - It's Alright & Marillion - The Last Straw.

[@bukitkatilmp]

@@xoxxobob61 During that time, credits were only given to those jointly involved in the production process. She was not, although she was heavily involved in the vocal department.

[@ivyreid7]

Lies she’s actually Kenyan, and her name is Lamya Al-Mugheiry... wow quick research....

[@wildmandon1]

Other great songs by them are: "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Rio", "Save a Prayer", "Wild Boys", "Notorious", "A View to a Kill".

[@8moody1]

Save a Prayer for sure

[@Zlatkohmmm]

Wild Boys Uncesored video is a masterpiece

[@scm021374]

A lot of people forget about "a view to a kill" because it was on the James bond soundtrack. Great ones suggested here.

[@l-bird]

@@scm021374 I still remember seeing the lead singer on tv with his back to the camera, then turning his head around and saying "Bon, Simon Le Bon" haha.

[@elza32358]

@@scm021374 My favorite song of Duran Duran's (A View To A Kill). It's just spectacular!

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

No girl in the group. She was more of a feature or back up singer in this one. Please do some earlier Duran Duran, like Rio, Girls on Film, Blue Moon on Monday, etc.

[@shamajuju]

*New Moon on Monday :)

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

@@shamajuju haha, think I had beer on the brain.

[@invisible2621]

His voice is unique and in this is song is soo hypnotic, pure joy for my ears!

[@andyt1313]

Their 90s hit “Ordinary World” is most excellent and was something of a stylistic departure for them.

[@aimeek9384]

Yes, he reacted to Ordinary World about a week ago

[@neilsun2521]

I remember being dissapointed as a kid. I was expecting The Reflex part II or something..

[@donquixote...]

Yes, it was somewhat of a departure, and for me a welcome one. This song was as well, and for me these are the songs that are the most timeless. To be honest, I really wasn't much of a fan of theirs otherwise... They were in a different dimension for me, but through these songs they burned into present adult reality...

[@Salieri21]

That album is a masterpiece. So fresh and new. Also holds till this day.

[@gingerindian1141]

@@donquixote... there first 2 albums are the masterpieces. THis wedding album had 2 great tracks - ordinary world and come undone. Spectuacular in fact. They have had many many songs to equal or surpass theses. They are much more than what you think.

[@doulbledee9758]

It's about Who's got you when your life is falling apart.

[@candybermudez5087]

Exactly

[@matthewbarker2063]

Duran Duran's amazing he should also listen to Notorious

[@devenscience8894]

I hated Notorious for a long time, but I soon realized that if I wait through the verses, that chorus is straight fire.

[@Ocelot2000]

Notorious is in my top 3

[@YTVB4]

Yes Notorious!

[@Astarstruckfan]

“ Who do you need Who do you love When you’ve come on done?” Beautiful, smooth, soulful track. so easy to get lost in. Without a doubt one of Duran Duran’s best!

[@telliesmith9825]

Nah dog it's about who do you need when shit gets real in life

[@wolfhawk1999]

"can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams" I think "come undone" means falling apart, not taking off clothes

[@buddystewart2020]

Right, when your world falls apart, when you come undone.

[@donquixote...]

Not according to Simon... Unless I misunderstood him, he even seems to suggest coming undone is sexual climax...

[@kathyjam2482]

I absolutely love Duran Duran Hungry Like The Wolf and Wild Boys are much more upbeat.

[@horsefootrot8044]

Haha yeah Hungry like the wolf was one of my favs. I admit I was DD fan as a teen. They had some great music. Rio, reflex and few more.

[@surlechapeau]

J, You'll enjoy their "Rio", "Hungry Like The Wolf" and "New Moon On Monday"

[@kellybrocato2215]

My absolute favorite Duran Duran song!

[@VerityJ692]

Simon wrote the song for his wife who was going thru a crisis. Her kids were at the teen stage where they were rebelling, her body was changing & she had a breakdown. I think this was the song they were reworking &when Simon heard it, said he wanted it as a gift to his wife. Like all of their songs, it's relatable and universal. People come undone every day, minute and second. Sometimes just acknowledging were not perfect, goes a long way towards healing. Peace💖

[@sherriparra6751]

I am surprised 😮 I have never heard this song before from Duran Duran 💃💯💫👩🏼‍🦳

[@Fairy_princess214]

I'm guessing you missed the nineties? Lol

[@jackiebeans2689]

Love, love , love Duran Duran💕💕💕💕

[@kentjensen4504]

I think part of the magic of Duran Duran is that they're so talented perfectionist that they could come off a slick, except the emotions are all real, and that makes it not slick. Like you said, the singer's voice is so haunting.

[@SG-js2qn]

I like your first two choices on Duran Duran. Somebody's giving you good input. 👍🔥 The lines sung by the woman are the main hook for me, along with "when you come undone." As for the meaning, it's more like a parallel to Drive by the Cars. The question is, who do you turn to when your life falls apart?

[@flon57]

The way I interpret it, it's asking "when everything in your life is going wrong, who do you need? who do you love?" Basically, who is there for you, when things are tough.

Traditionally, Duran Duran's members are 4-5 in total. They do however bring in backup singers and guest vocalists once in awhile for certain songs.

[@dianaprobst3157]

After you finish checking out Duran Duran, you might want to look at Power Station. That was a group formed by various musicians as a part-time side gig for fun, & two of the guys from Duran Duran were in it, along with Robert Palmer. They had a very distinctive sound. Communication, Lonely Tonight, Some Like It Hot, etc.

[@nikkikat1325]

This is such a haunting song. I have seen them live several times and they sound just as amazing! I think you figured it out...this song is about when the chips are down, who is there for you?

A polished performance from the Brummie boys. This along with Ordinary World are testament to their songwriting talents. Excellent band, and still churning out brilliant albums. Have certainly stood the test of time. Kudos !!!

[@venuswarrior8456]

Duran Duran has been my favorite pop rock band since 1982. Their music rescued me in my childhood thru my teens from my Narcissistic mom and siblings. Their music took me to a different planet where I could block it all and be in my own little world.

This isn't just one of the best Duran Duran songs, it's of all time. And this clip, what a concept.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Hey, there is no girl in DD. They have had many songs with guests vocalists. The two songs you just did is 90s DD. If you want to get a feel of the Duran Duran that ruled the world in the 80s, Hungry Like the Wolf and Rio are good starting choices. I think you will also get the same vibe as Come Undone and Ordinary World from Save a Prayer, which is a must. The videos for all of their 80s hits are just as significant as the music. They were one of the first bands of the 80s to film on 18mm in exotic locales or with high budgets. I totally get what you said about the vibe. Their music is absolutely a vibe. I can't think of a better way to describe why they are so good.

[@vithouse8037]

[@lovetocheerx0x0]

Oh, by the way, here is a fun fact of Duran Duran. When the band was forming, it was the New Wave stage. They had been a band for a few years, but went through lead singers like drinking a glass of water. They really weren’t a popular band at that time, and were looking for the “perfect” frontman. The New Wave era, one of my personal favorite eras, had a certain look, from the clothes, to the synthesizer, and the HAIR! They held auditions. When Simon Le Bon came in, he had it all, ........except his voice! They hired him anyway. Handsome ❤️, obviously, great hair, absolutely, but he had to go through intensive voice lessons, for a WHILE. Paid off big time, and the rest is history. Just a fun fact. We young adult women were immediately in love with him, and probably still are today!

The 'Thank You' album was panned by critics and fans, but check it out. It was a tribute to the music and artists that influenced DD's music. My favorite is "White Lines", their cover of the song by Grand Master Flash. I usually hate covers and remakes of songs but this one works. The song and video still sound and look fresh today. Duran Duran has always been a terribly underrated band. They have done a huge body of work over the years.
