Duran Duran - Ordinary World (Official Music Video)

[@mknghorn]

I found my poor sweet big brother dead in his bed on 7/30/20. That was the most devastating day of my life. I don’t remember the first few days after. But the Sunday after I put on my brave face and went to clean out his room and get it ready to be emptied. For some reason the moment I opened his door this song came into my head. I hadn’t thought about or heard it in literal years but there it was strong and clear every note and lyric. I burst into tears with the perfection of how exactly it captured what I’m going through. Thanks Duran Duran. My brother loved this song when we were teens. We both did.

[@Hannahi757]

Sorry for your loss!

[@ambarishtiwari93]

Sorry for what happened to your brother. For your loss. He will continue loving you even if he's now in another dimension. Love love.❤️

[@thestrengthwithin4249]

Hello my friend I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, This song is actually about Simon Le Bon‘s friend David Mills who passed away in 1986, it is an absolute fantastic song,You are not on your own i to have lost a brother and a sister, sadly through suicide, they say time is a healer, but it’s not, Time accommodates,I am sending you my love and deepest warmest thoughts of sympathy to you stay strong and be brave 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’ve never heard that before. Are you sure that you’re not that wise man? I don’t usually comment on KZbin videos, but, what you said was actually insightful.

[@addielprado1726]

"Ordinary World" traces an emotional and philosophical journey that, through grief, reflects the struggle between clinging to the past and accepting a transformed reality. From psychoanalysis, it represents an attempt at integration and acceptance of loss; From philosophy, the song becomes an existential search for meaning and authenticity, despite absence and suffering. It is a narrative of both emotional reconciliation and rediscovery of oneself in a world that is perceived to be transformed. Brillant song! Pure art.

[@bigbig-km1hb]

How interesting to read your comment...cause its same for me❤

My husband passed away suddenly last week. 12/22/22. My heart is broken and this song has been on repeat at my house. Except for me it’s while I cry for yesterday. Thank you Duran Duran.

Crazy, some'd say Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Passion or coincidence Once prompted you to say "Pride will tear us both apart" Well, now pride's gone out the window Cross the rooftops Run away Left me in the vacuum of my heart What is happening to me? Crazy, some'd say Where is my friend when I need you most? Gone away But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Papers in the roadside Tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Ooh, here besides the news Of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk And I don't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Every world Is my world (I will learn to survive) Any world Is my world (I will learn to survive) Any world Is my world

Yes!!! Made me cry, but with those bittersweet tears of nostalgia and true love... Maybe it's just fondness of being young, but on the other hand - I've never felt lonelier than I do today, in my late forties, while I was shunned as a teen by practically everyone. But I had THOSE STUNNING DEEP THINGS, true gifts from MTV: great music and artful, insightful videos....

This song is another level of music, by far their best. From it's message in the chorus'" I will learn to survive' to the mesmerizing guitar, to Simon Le Bon's perfect falsetto at the end. Simon said this song helped him to recover emotionally from the death of his friend David Miles. Amazing how powerful emotions can bring out greatness!

[@trevorbrown6654]

I agree. They were one of the best bands of the early to mid 80s. They were considered a bunch of pretty boys but they were also good musicians and songwriters. This was one of their more mature sounding songs but it's still very much them. To me the best pop music was late 70s to early 90s because that's the era I was listening to these as a child and right up until my early 20s so it resonates with me. There's a sadness to this song that is almost like me kissing goodbye to my youth back in 93 from one of my favourite bands of the era.

When I first heard this song in 1993, I was 15 years old. Although it was my first time listening to it, at some inexplicable level it's as if I had heard it before a 1000 times. It spoke to me in a very deep personal way. As a confused lonely teenager I found comfort in the song and its lyrics. I felt like I didn't belong anywhere, and at the same time I didn't have anyone to share my feelings of alienation. I only had THIS song. The lyrics conveyed my feelings of sadness, fear and hope. I longed so much to find my Ordinary World. As the years went by, and my life continued through its twists and turns, I continued to come back to this song, for comfort, for peace, to grieve, to reminisce, to cherish. One of the things I discovered as I aged and matured was that the Ordinary World I yearned for so long as a teenager, was always here, within me. And thanks to this song, I found it. Thank you so much Duran Duran. This song is a gift. This song is priceless. This song is a masterpiece.

Right before my wife passed away, she made me promise her that I would move on and find happiness again. During the rough years of grieving this song served as a reminder of a promise I made to someone who I love dearly to this day. That was many years ago.

[@Littlescienceguy]

I’m 34. I always thought of Duran Duran as an ‘80s band, and then this came up on the ‘90s station, on satellite radio. I was like… This is Duran Duran?! It sounds so different from their earlier material. They sold me with this song. This song always puts me into a deep state of thought and reflection. Absolutely beautiful song. Kudos Duran Duran!

[@sidpheasant7585]

Believe me Winton, I was blind but now I see that a bit of the kudos here goes to the Holy Spirit, who both inspired and resides in this music, spreading out to us the mystery of God's love and mercy pervading the universe. Maybe you know instinctively that this is the truth about this music - how else can it be eternal in the way it is? How else can it transcend" How else can it make us feel ecstasy out of melancholy?

@@MetalFriscoDude79 You're right! I just Googled and found this: The origins of "Ordinary World" were the results of tragedy: the death of singer Simon Le Bon's good friend, David Miles, of a drug overdose in 1986. “I'm not a big believer in the supernatural, but six years after [my friend's death], I started to feel a weight inside me," Le Bon told Paste in 2017.

[@GuukanKitsune]

@@pup1008 It is. It's a song of loss. The singer has lost someone, someone who was a huge part of their life, and that loss has completely turned their lives upside down. They're struggling to move on, to reach the 'ordinary world', that is, a sense of the normality they had before the loss, and 'learning to survive', that is, figure out how to continue their life without that person in it, but they're not ready yet. They're still grieving, as much as they recognize 'they've somehow got to find' the way back to that 'ordinary world', they can't.

[@erinfraise6154]

I've been an avid Duranie since 1982. This song highlights the poetic genius of Simon le Bon. I have lost both of my parents. My relationship with each could not have been more different. And yet this song feels like it could have been written by me about either death. To write something so personal (as this song was to Simon) and then have millions of others feel like it is so personal to them... well that's a master class in songwriting, friends.

[@sidpheasant7585]

Oh it's you again, Erin? Hello from here as well as in the comment below! Further to my reply below, I am interested to see that you find the song appropriate for thinking about death and loss. So perhaps you do not fully see the joy/ecstasy in the song. Because sadness at loss is love, just as joy is love, the Holy Spirit - who is love and truth combined - is brilliant and all-embracing and magnificent enough to fuse those feelings into one. That is the majesty of it, and it is strong and gentle at the same time, just as it is sad and happy. All fine feelings are in there, and of course that is God...

[@jazzygeoffgaming598]

This song seems quite relevant to the times we are in now. I'm sure we would all love to be back to the ordinary world.

Indeed. However that "ordinary world" has gone forever & is the reason I started listening to this record at this time. Humanity is now at a fork in the road.
