Lyrics:
Salziger Schweiß
Bewegungen der Seelen
Hier spielen sie kraftvolle Musik
Warum nicht tanzen kommen?
Es ist ganz natürlich
Komm tanzen
Die Bewegung des Lebens
Aufregung steigt
Die Bewegung des Lebens
Dies ist unsere Zeit
[Chorus]
Komm tanzen
und loslassen
Komm tanzen
People, let's dance
Wir vergessen Zeit und Ort
Die Wärme steigt
Vergessen Zeit und Ort
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Von abends, bis morgens, bis abends wieder
Von Freitag, bis Samstag, bis Sonntag wieder
Komm tanzen
////////////////////////////////////
Salty sweat
The movement of souls
Here they play powerful music
Why not come and dance?
It's perfectly natural
Come, dance
The movement of life
Excitement builds
The movement of life
This is our time
[Chorus]
Come, dance
and lose yourself
Come, dance
People, let's dance
We forget time and place
The heat rises
Forgetting time and place
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
From evening, until morning, until evening again
From Friday, until Saturday, until Sunday again
Come, dance

The best thing about psb is they never cease to innovate. Whole album mostly in german...bring it on. Love this and will love the album. Spitfire still sends a shiver up my spine

[@Szakats19]

Perhaps, a sub genre, they could try in Schwitzi Tutsche ?

[@mellowfellow6816]

Sometimes the KZbin algorithm throws you an absolute gem.

[@thephilpott2194]

You're not wrong. The German vibe really works for this.

[@Pancho308]

You are so right. Makes me want to go out and peel an orange.

[@carbolic_smokeball2162]

I love how the background gradually transitions from desolate industrial structures, to the hyper corporate Canary Wharf. Oh the wonderful contrasts in East London.

If New Order and Depeche Mode had collaborated and then employed a German female vocalist and asked the Pet Shop Boys to produce, it might have sounded like this. And this is great

[@fredmila]

Martin Gore is credited on this.

[@micke_mango]

@@fredmila Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know if he is actually collaborating, or if it's about that short hook from People are People, that you can hear (remade, not sampled)?

Let's hear it for the dancers. Serious skills...

[@robguttridge6591]

Tabby Camburn's choreography and dancing are just wonderful. I envy the production crew that watched and assisted in the creation of this music video: such grace, such beauty, captured and shared with the world.

Appears to be London England, next to the Thames River. @@sarahhempenstall6806

It's nice to see what the Gagarin astronauts get up to on their days off.

[@davidmiller5573]

The Gagarin astronauts were Messrs Wrigglesworth and Willgoose, they are shown putting on spacesuits!!! Honest, the lads are so talented.

[@ddavies1967]

Ok, that's different. Loved it, a bit of electro kraut poppy heaven. And the dancers were so graceful, made me teary. A wee slice of heaven.

Congratulations Tabby and team. Loved this !!

[@paulcole7144]

I'd never heard of PSB before this. Instant fan, the mood of this is so evocative. I've listened to a lot of your stuff now and love it all.

[@Locomotiveman1994]

Gives off some propper Kraftwerk vibes. Absolutely awsome!

[@fminns]

Absolutely loving everything about this!

[@malwill54]

As a kid enthralled by Delia Derbyshire followed by the German Neu Wave (geddit?) through Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and then some this is a brilliantly worked modern twist on what has been one of the biggest influences on "modern" music. The mixture of Germanic Electro beats and funky dance moves. Full marks all down the line!!!! Overwhelming.

[@citizensnid3490]

What can I say?? Sheer brilliance both musically and the visual concept

[@CaptainNow2]

This has been on loop now for over an hour and gets better with every listen!

[@NigelBell61]

Blown away - you chaps are simply amazing! I'll also look forward to embarassing my wife/daughters with my dad dancing when that time comes....

[@shayharper8953]

Accidental find this morning and I have played it over and over for 3 hours. Brilliant.

[@camdflage]

Once again these genius’s have created beauty in sound and movement. 10/10

That bit with the dancers in a groovy train, electronic music pumping away, I could watch that on loop forever. Everything will be OK.

If only DARK could get another season so they could use this on the soundtrack. Brilliant stuff.

[@StudioMagnetique]

What an absolute tune. Kraftwerk influences galore. So happy to see PSB leaving the sample-based stuff and treading new ground. Love their back catalog, but you can overdo a theme. It takes integrity and bravery to do something new when you have a winning formula and I for one dig the shit out of the new sound. Future retro at it’s best, plus it oozes everything great about Germanys influence on European electronic music. Will be coming to see you live. Nicely done fellas.

This is so good to listen to in the car at night. It's got a kind of retro-futuristic robotic, alienated ghost In the machine feel about it, but having just translated the lyrics they are quite surprising. Nice!
