this song has a profound effect on me. it's hard to describe. i've listened to all of the big post punk bands from this era, but this song is the purest and most poetic expression of that aesthetic i've ever encountered. it has a mystical, hypnotic quality. it's sort of melancholy but also energetic and powerful. it evokes a very nuanced emotional state. what's interesting is that so many random people think it is one of the best songs ever written. even 35 years later people come here and say they just discovered this band and second skin is one of the greatest songs they've heard in their lives. imagine having people say that about your art decades later, when in your own era you were relatively obscure outside of manchester. i hope they know how powerful their music is, and how long it has endured.

If you haven't read the Tempest, and Shakespeare's more mystical material , I recommend it in this context, it contains the same otherness. The following is quoted in part in the song of course... its fucking immense Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vex'd; Bear with my weakness; my, brain is troubled: Be not disturb'd with my infirmity: If you be pleased, retire into my cell And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, To still my beating mind.

I was a guitarist in a California gothic rock band and a huge goth music fan during this time period. My fave bands were Sisters, Red Lorry, March Violets, etc but the Chameleons are really the ONLY band of all of them I can still listen to regularly now in my mid 50s and enjoy it as much as I did in 1985. Timeless music. The guitarists were a huge influence on me personally as they mesmerized with their guitar lines that wove together like the threads of a persian carpet.....Up The Down Escalator is probably my all time favorite of theirs but they truly didn't compose a bad song. The only song I didn't particularly like as much as the rest was the cover of John I'm Only Dancing....The Chameleons and The Mission are the only two "goth" bands I can still listen to these days and do with regularity. The others, especially with bands like Sisters or FOTN just seem outright silly to me now....the Chams did it right...

I'm still aggravated that its taken me this long to be able to talk to artists that were part of this sound, this movement that we have to thank for music today. so many people I want to thank and tell how much it meant to me to hear, and how hard it was to discover and hear the music. I found RLYL in 2004 in a really obscure way and immediately was on a mission to find more bands like that. Couldnt find anyone to recommend much that was relevant to what I wanted to hear, like that, and The Wake, and Joy Division. I like to put Talk about teh Weather on repeat some days. I've never met someone else that likes these bands to high five on youtube, so high five and hugs. Keep doing music, at least now we have ways to communicate and support digitally

I've listened to Second Skin upward of 4000 times in my life, and I never get tired of the celestially perfect synthesis of synth, strings and drum that make up its divinely untouchable melody. Between the intro that echoes a reflection of eternity, the instrumental build between verse 1 and verse 2 makes me envision the universe being made and then unmade by unknowable forces all at once, every time. And this is to say nothing of Mark's haunting lyrical monologue that beckons the dark pull of existential mystery.

If this is the stuff dreams are made of No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air I realize a miracle, is due I dedicate this melody, to you But is this the stuff dreams are made of? If this is the stuff dreams are made of No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air Everywhere Oh, it feels like I'm everywhere Like when you fail to make the connection, you know vital it is Oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is Oh and you reach the point when you know It's only your second skin It's only your second skin (Something's banging on my door) like when you fail to make the connection, you know vital it is (Someone's banging on my door) oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is (Something's banging on my door) or reach the point when you know it's only your second skin (Someone's banging on my door, something's banging on my door)

I have the vinyl sleeve of Script of the bridge (1983) signed by two founders, Mark Burgess and Reginald Smithies. Incredible song influenced by The Shadows and The Beatles. I have chatted to Mark lots and he told me quite a bit.. Dave Fielding was influenced by The Shadows, you can clearly hear the sound in his guitar playing etc. Their influence can be heard in bands today from.. Interpol, Editors, The Killers. - C 12 - 08 - 23

One of the greatest of all time. Although over looked and underrated.

One of my favourite songs of all time. 🖤 I finally had rhe pleasure of seeing The Chameleons live just 3 weeks ago, for the very first time, after 37 of listening to them. It was a magical performance and Mark sounds just as wonderful as always. They closed with this magnificent somg. 💙

I was at this gig! If I remember rightly it was free and in the afternoon. Camden Palace,. What a superb band The Chameleons were. Saw them 6 or 7 times back then.

This song reaches deep into the soul and invokes a kind of melancholy. The genius of the Chameleons❤

Ah man, what a time it would have been to be young in 1985, I was 2 years old and knew fck all about this band till a few years ago when i heard this song on the radio, I fell in love with it, it spoke to me and instantly touched me. I love this song, their sound and this guys vocals. If i was a young guy in 1985 I would have wanted to be in a band like this, fantastic! You don't get music, lyrics and art like this anymore, you just don;t!

How I would like to be borned in the early 60s in England, and had lived this age of music with all those great bands: The Chameleons, The Cure, The Comsat Angels, Play Dead, The Danse Society, Joy Division, Sad Lovers & Giants, and so many more...

I Love 80s at work I play the cure and a customer at the register casually reminisced, telling me how magical the 80's were. With such a beautiful look in her eye, went on to describe the music as full of romance and love. I could cry anytime someone mentions living during that time. How I yearn. 😭

I was 1962, saw them live at the tin can club, great gig. So many original bands back in the 80's. Used to love checking the gig list every Thursday in the NME to see who was playing where in the next ten days. Never big venues, capacity not much more than 4 to 500 usually except for bands like the Sisters of Mercy who played in slightly bigger arenas. Fun times.

Fantastic, great ang good 80's song!!! It's like you fail to make the connection You know how vital it is Or when something slips through your fingers You know how precious it is Well you reach the point where you know It's only your second skin
