Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring

Music video by Pet Shop Boys performing Being Boring (2003 Digital Remaster).

[@lorenapantoja2332]

Tengo 54 años y he vivido de todo. Muchas perdidas y aquí sigo. Mi juventud cerraba las discitecas bailando. Salia de casa el viernes y volvía el domingo por la mañana. Disfruté muchísimo de las discotecas. Nunca entendí que para bailar había gente que se drogaba. Me gustaron los 80 con todas sus complejidades. Disfrute de mi juventud como ahora disfruto de mis 50. La vida no es fácil, nada fácil. Ahi que vivirla y disfrutarla. De las personas y el día a día. Soy positiva aunque tengo una vida con problemas que me han generado otros. Pero ahí estamos para seguir disfrutando de lo equivale vivir. El camino no es fácil. Ánimo y con los pet schop boys la vida se hace más amena. Un abrazo 🇨🇱🇪🇸♥️❤️

This is not just a legendary song. This is a defining moment in our lives. This is the friends and the lovers we lost. This is the dreams we had. This is the youth that slipped our hands. This is the Pet Shop Boys and we are very lucky to have them in our life.

❤YOU never know the innocence, strength & beauty of your youth until it's gone. I was born in Costa Rica in the 70's. Grew up in Queens New York from 1978 though the 80's. Danced and Raved my ass off in the 90's. Blessed enough to have Performed and Dance, in Thee must Legendary Club's in America and New York City Club Land. wild meeting some awesome wonderful fabulous friends. So many where lost to Drugs, Aids, Drinking, D.r.u.g.s, car accidents DWI. some are here and some are still missing. Thank you heavenly Father for your guidance, courage, strength and love. All that Behavior scared the shit out of me & it kept me on my Toes. I always had a JOB whether it was Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. And here I still am in 2024 & It's Valentines day. I'm from a generation that was NBB Never Being Boring. Thank you Pet Shop Boys for your MASTERPIECES & amazing inspiration. ⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤

[@thomasfranco5997]

I always worked all my life. I live in Los Angeles and so many friends fell into the gangs. I have 2 locked up in Prison for life. One was so close to me and my family. My father even wrote a letter to the judge explaining what a great kid Ricky was. he was a great student and athlete. He was my best friend in High School and later in life joined a gang and was caught doing a drive by shooting, now locked up for life. I have always believed in God, and he showed me the right way to live. I also had a strict father who raised me up Military style. He is a Korean War Veteran and always told me stay educated and the results will be awesome as you get older. He was correct. But I have so many friends now who are either homeless or on drugs or in gangs. The one who is homeless was a great athlete and he was the quarterback in our high school. I also have 2 friends who are girls, they both overdose on drugs and died. Such a Tragedy! I am starting to tear up. May God Bless All Of You. No Colors denied here!! We are one. Amen! Amen! Amen!

Everytime, I hear this beautiful Track it reminds me of the friends I used to party with back in the day. In 2024 some are no longer on this earth. But I know they are listening in HEAVEN and still dancing. Circus Disco, a club in Hollywood where we used to go. I worked in a clothing store at the time in Downtown Los Angeles and my co-workers and I would hit the Hollywood scene after work. Now I am 67 years old and retired from an Auto & Home Insurance co. after 22 years. 80's best decade ever. Great Memories! MISS YOU ALL!!!

I'm hearing this for the first time at 39 and the tears are so cleansing. I knew the quotation was about Zelda just from "a wife of a writer in the 1920s". . . . "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I thought this song was going to be about boring people heeheee, what delightful turns of phrase this song takes, and what a beautiful video by Bruce Weber.

By God, we really were never being boring. We couldn't be, could we? We all knew back then we were experiencing something special. I am so grateful to have been a part of it, so humbled to have shared the experience with you, my cohorts, and for The Pet Shop Boys who so beautifully captured it all in song. Love, indeed, comes quickly, whatever you do, I'll never stop falling, for you, for you.

[@Thd85]

I'm 18 and I absolutely love every single one of their songs. This is probably my favorite song of all times, the dreamy feelings it carries through those chords, the gorgeous lyrics, the synth pads, the bass line, the drums, the video, the soft Neil's voice, are a class of their own, that's so perfect. It makes me think of being young, in the past, in the flux of time, makes me want to make a video in VHS of myself these days. Although there is a bit of sadness (as he goes "now I sit in different places, in rented rooms and foreign places"), especially seeing them so young (particularly Chris), thinking they're in their 60s now; it's something that makes me cry. Sometimes when I listen to "Behaviour" it feels painful to see them "old" nowadays, in contrast with then. In spite of this I'll enjoy them as long as possible...it's difficult to describe in words how much I love this song (and the PSB)

You know, lots of people say that the music of one decade or another had the "Best music". But this incredible song is from my 40's, every decade has its share of brilliant music, This is a perfect example of that. I love the music from the year that I got my first transistor radio on my 10th birthday in 1960. Every year before and after has great music. I still listen to new music and find new bands to love even now, in my 70s. I still like to revisit perfection like "Being Boring" every few weeks for a few hours. It makes me remember these decades, music can bring back the scent, time of year, the place you were, people you were with, and the feelings you experienced. Music is a time machine...

If we're lucky, we'll all have that chance to reminisce on our past and think about the end. So bittersweet.

[@vinceserrano2074]

It is a beautifully sad song, I remember I had just turned 20 when this song came out and I could not identify with the message because I was never being boring, I just thought the song was about not being boring and having fun. Now in my 40s, it is so bittersweet to listen to this song because I have lost a couple of very dear friends over the years, one a little over a year ago and another some years after this song came out. Plus all those friends you just lose touch with and never imagine you would stop seeing them. I just think in those times and how inmortal we felt, I wish my missing friends were here with me being boring.

[@IFando]

That's life Vince... I have the same impression as you... time passes and then we realize our head is totally different from when we were in our 20s... This song is in someway a little depressive too when we think about the good old days that will never come back... that's life.

I was 14 when this song came out and could instantly feel it was masterpiece, the song, the lyrics, the video. Now I'm 45 and I feel everything else, the longing, the loss, the passage of time...

I will NEVER get bored with this song. I love it, I love it, I love it! Always.

This is bittersweet nostalgia for me. Thank gawd for the Pet Shop Boys and this song

[@marinabatista9781]

I'm just going through a severe stage of depression and it seems like my life is faded to failure, I'm 21 years old and just feel like nothing will work out. This song somehow brings me a little hope. I hope I can survive this because deep inside I really want to live. To have a good life and inspire other people. But right now everything seems so distance. I still haven't got anywhere that I want. I hope to find strength enough to keep fighting for myself.

[@garyphillips006]

You can get through this, you said you hope to inspire others, im 42 now suffer with depression and anxiety and your inspiring me. You know and got this at 21. You've got a lot to give this world that I'm sure of. Stay strong Marina 👊 You've got this today 🙂

[@laurenc5652]

Girl, you're early 20s can be a confusing time. Hang in there..I promise it will get better. You will find yourself as time goes on and things will fall into place ❤️❤️

Marina Batista beautiful girl... 'Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long,... and in the end, it's only with yourself'... Listen to Baz Lurman "Everybody's Free (to wear Sunscreen)" Whenever I feel lost, down, bewildered, or behind, I always listen to that song/poem to cheer me up. Your young beautiful and fabulous. Don't sweat the small stuff.

The day I leave this planet I will be SO PROUD to have been a teenager in the 80s and to get in adulthood in the 90s. The kids of today don't know how amazing it was, no cellphones, no internet, no social media, and those were still the happiest days of our lives.

I don't get these statements. We've never had so much, and society has come so far since then. My life in the 80's and 90's wasn't that great, so I guess I look back and just see how hateful and narrow minded the world was, and how much effort I had to go through to find art and beauty and good music.

[@memattia3198]

One of the best pop songs ever written. After all these years, I come back here again and again. The Pet Shop Boys will accompany me until I die.

[@EduardoCarvalho0211]

This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songs ever! Nice melody, good and deep message, Neil's outstanding and peaceful voice... Also a great video: youth, beautiful people and a very positive flair. I was just a kid when it was released and just came across it like 10 years ago, but it got me immediately! Now, some years after having it among my favourite ones, I find myself with 32 "sitting with different faces in rented rooms and foreign places", struggling not to being boring and to keep the ones I was kissing around me... Plus, recently a good friend has been diagnosed as HIV-positive, I guess it's now somehow part of my own biography! Thanks, Neil and Chris, for this sublime masterpiece!

Lyrics: I came across a cache of old photos And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteen-twenties When you're young you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said "we were never feeling bored" 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "if you're not careful You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies" But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In the nineteen-nineties I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend And we were never being boring We were never being bored 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored

It just occurred to me that what Sinatra's "when I was 17" was to my parents generation, this song is to my generation , X. Words cannot begin to describe how good those days were for me. I bought this album when it came out.And i'm so happy that it Recorded in me the beauty of those days, and no one can take away the memories.Thank you pet shop boys so much.

[@cellpat2686]

The words speak for themselves. A true masterpiece by the Pet Shop Boys. Thank you.

[@derekb.9177]

That's right. I loved this song always (like Domino Dancing). Neil Tennant is such an amazing songwriter and i'm loving that he's writing songs for everybody. Like other gays Neil's songs are never about gays. Unforgetable. I'm "normally" but i have no problems with gays like Neil. Songs to remember. Very cool !!!

[@Daimo83]

This song perfectly captures youth. Even though all of us had different experiences the feeling is the same.

[@pasjonatleonawachholza4772]

To jest najlepsza piosenka Pet Shop Boys, która najlepiej oddaj atmosferę tamtych czasów, początków lat 90-tych. Co to były za czasy! Giełda płyt we Wrocławiu, w Pałacyku, nasze dyskoteki, nasza banda cała, gdzie siedzieliśmy po dyskotekach, które organizowaliśmy do rana, inni byli ludzie, którzy nie zapisywali na kartce tego ile kto od kogoś pożyczył pieniędzy na cokolwiek, ludzie byli bardziej otwarci, bezpośredni. Tak było!

That day these two guys met in 1981 must be the luckiest day ever in music history! When you see their huge influence in pop music and in so many people's lives and inspiration with their high-quality lyrics, melodies and harmonies - and then compare it to the meaning of the initial event that simply means 'Two guys meet in an electronic shop and talk to each other'. It gets a miraculous dimension! And it's still growing because they are still working together! I'm so grateful for songs like 'Being boring'!

[@senecaaurelius1811]

One of my faves of all time. I was 14 when it came out. Loved it then and love it more now. Weird trivia: Axl Rose (a big fan) enjoyed this song so much, he asked the PSB why they didn’t have it in their live set at concerts shortly after it had come out. It was added after that and NT said it got the biggest reception in their encore.
