Pet Shop Boys - Love etc.

Music video by Pet Shop Boys performing Love etc..

[@LucreDenouncer]

This song is criminally underrated. It should be a classic by now. It is for me, at least

[@adrenjones9301]

Its 11 years old by now. Its a classic alright and i feel incredible old.

[@DJ_MH_Remixes]

MaybePotatoes Yes but 13.5 Million views is not bad... I working crazy hard on my tracks and videos and it coming not to 100K or even 10 🧐

[@antonioskoutsoyiannis6575]

Listening to Nonetheless album, May 2024. Anyone else?

[@Heather-fj2rb]

It’s taken me 11 years to find this song. I remember watching it at my grandmas when I was little and apparently I never stopped banging on about “the man in the bouncy ball”. As I grew up I was desperate to find the song but I couldn’t remember any lyrics, only a man bouncing around in a ball and “green playing card symbols”. Then out of pure luck, 11 years later a random New Years Eve playlist happened to have the Brits Medley by the pet shop boys on it. I’ve never jumped out of a chair quicker! I must say it’s a relief for myself and my whole family because I’ve never given up on trying to find it! 2021 is off to a magnificent start for me! Excellent song.

[@morbidsearch]

Interesting considering it came out in 2009

[@alicesmith2866]

Pet Shop boys had a ton of stuff. Just look and enjoy!

[@rs-tarxvfz]

Guess what? We need a search engine for earworms.

[@Neel631]

I had the same experience with the song "Phase" by Breaking Benjamin. Took me some 11 years. Felt great. :D

[@wlodolw]

Just like me, I remember listening to this on the much music's top 100 from 2009 but couldn't remember the title or almost anything about the song, I just remembered the chorus and the skulls. This really took me a loooong time.

[@AstroJr]

Or maybe it is the simple fact that the song itself is repeating everything... Hahaha it might seem obvious but that's not the reason... It's the rhythmic style that only they have... Their sounds take you far far away... Don't you all think?

[@nitzandCarAdvizer]

I swear God I was looking for this song few years since I was heard it when I was a child. I'm 22 now after a few years I thought it was a 90s-00s hit and searched the whole world with 0 results. Finally today was the big day! Can't believe this awesome music launched at 2009. Please make more music ! There were nights without sleeping searching for this gold!

[@MrDeepSound]

its never late to discover something you ve been looking for years:) music has no age!

I remember being enamored with this song (and this MV) as a kid and teen, I'm also in my 20s now and it's so strange reflecting back, I'm glad it's still here.

[@raffishizing]

This may be the ultimate blend of PSB irony, sincerity, politics, romance, and just plain fun. It's a privilege to be alive at the same time as these guys.

I really love this song. It's not actually my favourite song but it's definitely the most meaningful song in my life. It doesn't matter how much you get in terms of material stuff or empty achievements, in the end love is what really fills you.

[@iliascohen]

Well, this is Pop Art! Acoustically and visually. And that's what makes Pet Shop Boys sooo unique....

[@elpatriotalima683]

Yo recién conocí ésta canción cuando los Pet shop boys dieron su primer concierto en Lima en el 2010. Me gustó de inmediato. En las radios nunca la pasan.

This song is so special for me. I listened this song in 2010 for the first time and i thought that i understood the meaning of the lyrics. But while the time passes and i become more mature i realised that song explains how the world works.

[@Awwrora__]

everything about this song is wonderful. lyrics are not only meaningful, they change your views somehow :/ and are just very beautiful..

[@macresco7341]

Actually it explains how they would like the world to work. Because the world doesn't rely on love to survive...

If you still lestin to this song you are classic ❤

[@BramsCommando]

Love the message of this song

[@traviswalton8806]

Love etc. does not follow a conventional verse-chorus-verse-chorus format, hence why it sounds different. Neil Tennant added in more lyrics into it because he felt that whatever the producers (Xenomania) had written was not enough, so he extended the chorus (the "don't have to b..." part). Also, the "too much of anything..." part is like a bridge but is located almost in the middle of the song. And then the first verse is repeated again...and the weird thing is, you don't know where in the lyrics it's going to end. The "beautiful but it helps" repeat at the end is a complete surprise as an ending - it's all rather wonderful.

[@kaydwessie296]

No wonder it stuck with me so much. I love unconventional things

[@Tiiggii]

Wow, what an analysis.

[@markratcliff5646]

That's because Neil Tennant is a genius 😀

[@analuisahering2043]

[@fifty-somethingwitch2406]

The ‘Too much of anything’ part is genius. I think it takes the song from pretty good to absolute perfection.
