Pet Shop Boys-Miserablism

[@warrenmcallister2341]

I've been a PSB fan since 1988. I literally owned every last one of their Albums, Singles, Compellations, etc. for everything pre-2005 or so(and all albums and most singles since then). This is still one of my favorite songs.

[@masp441]

Even their unpublished songs are first class.

[@michaelmcparland7681]

One of my favorite songs of theirs. This song has cheered me up in many miserable times. :)

[@kevinwilbraham8713]

This is one of my fav songs from the duo, and it’s a b side. Love the sequencers and the story.

[@jasonteale5182]

What a wonderful well written and produced song, I remember when I first listened to this song and thought wow this band are still really as brilliant as they were when I first heard them.

[@samiyjoandcastropereda9864]

Mi papa siempre coloca esta canción cuando sale al trabajo..y me dice que le recuerda a sus amigos que compartian en grupo escuchando a esta agrupacion..y en verdad que la cancion es muy bonita...

[@andresezr]

Otra genialidad de mis musicos favoritos, casi 40 años haciendo musica y siguen creando cosas hermosas como este tema que me llega al corazon. Ustedes son lo maximo en pop electronico.

[@grantallison591]

Love that throbbing analogue synthesizer

[@johnbeck9]

Its maybe the best track they have done, and thats a reasoned thought out statement. So many fab songs with all the emotion of an eternity of love.

[@thephoenix3155]

Moby’s remix is even better!

[@caileagecosse9421]

I love this song, great music as always. LOVE THEM...!!

[@thephoenix3155]

This should have been included on “Behaviour” and was in line up to be one of the single but Chris Lowe didn’t think it wouldn’t fit the record. However it ended up being a B-side for “Was It Worth It?” a remix by Moby was also produced for the song featuring on alternate versions of the single.

[@behaviour21]

This song and It must be obvious are my fav b-sides from PSB! A fancy masterpieces... as usual on them.

[@thecloudtherapist]

"Miserablism" is about having a particular attitude towards life - a "philosophy" of being negative and feeling down, so that if bad news hits you, it doesn't really impact you as much, because you're already down and almost out. The "is is and isn't isn't" line is what a friend of Neil Tennant's dad said on his death bed, apparently! And Neil thought it was pertinent to the song and put it in.

[@fractalchez]

"Just for the sake of it make sure you're always frowning. It shows the world that you've got substance and depth." Post-modernist irony successfully dissing on post-modernist irony. These guys were/are off-the-chart brilliant.

[@silviosanna7147]

Fantastica. Come tutta la carriera dei Pet Shop boys

[@mariaestelahostan6957]

Exactamente, estos temas y sus 800 exitos! Los hacen únicos!!

[@nathanhaulk9571]

Love Neal and Chris always have I was born in 1978 been following you on my way

[@cinebeatl]

Alternative is such as great album! I love those outtlakes of songs from other albums.

[@hegarty1974]

I adore this record.

[@thephoenix3155]

Yep! Moby’s Electro Mix is even better!

[@AntonioGarcia-ye5st]

Excellent song The pet shop boys N#1

[@ZIlberbot]

Pet Shop Boys are the best ! 🎉

[@RaciePSB]

Though it may be something of an oxymoron, to me this song = euphoric melancholy if such a thing exists.

[@br.lorenzodelavelasj1236]

Rachel Hurst - ULOL!

[@jimmyschaus1]

interview with danny l harle in tiny mix tapes: "The best music for me is emotionally involving and also interesting to listen to. The feeling I most search for in music is euphoric melancholy."

[@beingpsy9655]

I know what you mean and I agree

[@norwegianforestcat7471]

Yes! PSB are particularly great at that. Even songs like Liberation have a melancholy tinge to them. Some like King's Cross or To Speak is a Sin are entirely melancholic (and wonderful)

[@RaciePSB]

Wow! Only just saw these replies and I’m thrilled to find others feel this too! 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@theoverloadingcatch5433]

Ayy anyone still listening in 2020 PSB will always be my favorites!

[@SheltonDCruz]

2022 😁

[@GeorgeA-js6fv]

Could this be their best song????? Yes. Cool. Cold Awesome.

[@nathanhaulk9571]

No all their music that have wrote is always the best

[@NorthSea_1981]

Not necessesarily THE best, but one of their best for sure.

[@thephoenix3155]

NorthSea 1981 The Electro Mix by Moby is even better than the original. Simply impeccable!

[@GlassChild666]

I had this song on a maxi cd, Moby did a great remix of this song.

[@thephoenix3155]

I bought it also immediately, because I love it that much!

[@Kiwimite]

Ironically, this song makes me feel pretty good.

[@FernieCanto]

That's really the point. The song is lambasting Morrissey and his pessimism, and proposing that optimism is a better lifestyle.

[@u1ahbme]

I'm a pretty big cynic myself and love this song even though it is poking fun of cynicism. I'm a cynic with a sense of humor.

[@Aramanth]

PSB B-sides are always impressive!

[@thephoenix3155]

They are a fantastic band! That’s why. Moby did a remix for this song which is simply stunning!

[@russell3357]

I love the sarcastic and sardonic nature of the pet shop boys

[@Danysapo22]

the best of pet shop boys

[@Wolf.88]

Thank God for PSB.

[@agustinpere9865]

extraordinary classic

[@saradykes2286]

Trivia: This song was written about Morrissey. As was the Electronic song “getting away with it”

[@marialopez8480]

Wow cada dia descubro mas temas komo este no se siendo fan komo puedo descubrirlo ahora me encanta!!!

[@ALEXJRZ]

yo tambien jej

[@jukardleontv8095]

Curiosamente siendo una super canción, fue un lado B y no un single de Lp, es decir, a Miserablism la dejaron fuera de un disco "oficial" y la incluyeron en el CD 2 de su Disco Alternative de 1995, el tema fue grabado en 1990, de acuerdo a lo mencionado por Neil Tennant, esta canción estaba considerada como un single para incluirla en el LP Behaviour pero la mañana antes de hacer el cierre (corte) de la producción decidieron quitarla y reemplazarla por The end of the world (otra gran canción); tenían material para escoger, no cabe duda.

[@ESTUARDO20120]

COMPARTO EL CRITERIO DEL AMIGO. PESHOP BOYS LO MAXIMO EN MUSICA, TALENTO Y COMPOSICION, SON REALMENTE GENIALEES.

[@kenbrome4615]

Miserablism................... a "B" side track,, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......I dont THINK so !!! Incredible track...........PSB are master writers of great pop/ dance music.

[@LeBurgerVegan]

Ah ah, I'm 13 years old and I LOVE the Pet Shop Boys :D

[@Mr11Worcester]

Ken Brome Most definitely, awesome track

[@thephoenix3155]

Le Burger Vegan I’m 19 and I adore the Pet Shop Boys. If you like this check out the remix by Moby called Miserablism (Electro Mix) it’s so cool I think you will like it even more!

[@stevenstaniforth1554]

How anybody can dis this is news to me...reminds me of an acquaintance.....so deep yet so shallow

[@MrDoremouse]

Always play this after listening to Throbbing Gristle, Killing Joke, Godflesh, or whoever :-)

[@thetruth2899]

[@leandrosebastianperezarrua8174]

Que buen tema!!!!!

[@snaglet2284]

excellent words indeed

[@spinct83]

@markandjohntube it IS in fact about Morrissey

[@SubconsciousGatherer]

Check out Andre Breton (founder of Surrealism) and his writings on Miserablism. I think the idea came from there, but I'm not 100% sure.

[@MrStrafanici]

It is likely, but I would check Brecht as well

[@saradykes2286]

It’s about Morrissey

[@herculesevangelista7240]

They took "Miserabilism" of the album Behaviour and put "The End Of The World"

[@FernieCanto]

In hindsight, I think they did the right thing. The End of the World is a sublime, gorgeous song, and it fits well, with the album's gentle sadness, and this song ended up as a wonderful hidden gem, a song well worth being discovered and treasured.

[@meinsyberspace]

wow HAHAha.. i was hearing this song on my walkman when the stupid of my teacher caught me copying on the final test.

[@excitingvalence]

cool

[@simonzon]

@markandjohntube Why do you hope it isn't about Moz...the song is really quite complementary, do you not think? I think it presents him in a sympathetic, thoughtful, intelligent light.

[@ghostrider2664]

Its entirely about Moz

[@thecoldheart2012]

This track originally should have been on the "Behavior-album", but was (in the last minute) replaced by "The end of the world". If "Miserablism" would have been on the album, the album would have been somehow even "darker", I think. "Miserablism" is a great track with great lyrics - ends up every philosophical discussion immediatley - "is is and isn't isn't" - nothing more to say - I´ll dedicate my life to miserablism! Really somehow frustrating but also cool! PSB are fantastic!

[@thephoenix3155]

Cool piece of trivia! The remix of this song by Moby is even more spectacular!

[@victordanielconsuelokatate3725]

This song was going to be an official Behavior track, but there was no space on the album.
