Lyrics:
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends (It never ends)
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose
I'd tell myself, what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends (It never ends)
I've asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself?
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends

My absolute favorite song from the 1980's. Mark Hollis has a haunting voice like no other singer from that era. Talk Talk doesn't get the attention that The Cure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order and other British New Wave bands get, but they are absolutely just as legendary.

This came out when I was in high school. Even now, I still think of this as an underrated classic. Talk Talk should've been a bigger back then. RIP Mark Hollis. Such great voice. One of the best & most distinct voices of the 80s. He's right up there with other awesome 80's singers from the U.K.: #SiouxsieSioux (#SiouxsieAndTheBanshees), #Bono (#U2), #DaveGahan (#DepecheMode), #RobertSmith (#TheCure), #IanCurtis (#JoyDivision), among others...

RIP Eric Vaughn Allen. 11/19/97 to 02/13/24. He loved this song. ❤️ He took his own life, and it has devastated me and his family. He loved going to Walmart and going out to eat. But, he was just as happy staying at home and eating noodles. His departure was sudden. But, he'd been battling depression for years and suicidal ideation. We feel as if we've failed him. He loved animals. Especially cats. He loved his computer. I write this in memory of him. On his favorite song. I will always love and miss him. I can't wait to see him in heaven. He's finally at peace, with his kitties that passed away.

Korin. Sweet memories of your beloved friend. To whom you loved and miss dearly. Please understand the depression your friend suffered was something that he wasn't responsible for. Neither are you Korin or his family. It's a chemical . When not depressed their known as sensitive, insightful. The other side of the coin. Please forgive what your friend did. As it was also a selfish act. Leaving his friends and loved ones. To not only mourn. But to feel guilty? I doubt very much you did anything wrong. Honor your friend by moving on living your life. Being the best you can be! ❤❤❤❤

[@ugandanknuckles3900]

I don't think people really get the "meaning" of this song so much as they could theorize in scope to what it's all about. The message is both complex and simple. Simple because it's about the general life of everything and it's right to exist, as well and contextually complex to the nature of humans and our place among life around us as being observers to it, alien almost. The juxtaposition and the subtle hints and nods are quite telling though. Happy to know it's the original and not that other one that was made later on. Almost reminds me of that song Life's What You Make It in a way.

What a powerful fucking song. The way the verse and chorus contrast with each other, and that single chord at the end of the last line of the verse that bridges the two and signals a change of tone... just phenomenal songwriting. Every aspiring writer of pop songs should take note of what this song does right.

Broble you said it better than anyone- this is truly an incredible song

[@germanicelt]

Yeah, that's just what I was thinking.

[@dimosorchestral6338]

Nicely said. The reason why this chord has such a big emotional impact is because it performs a modulation (from Eb to E). Modulations are such a fundamental composition technique, it is hard to understand why they almost completely disappeared in today's popular music. But who knows, judging by the success of "Leave the Door Open", maybe there will be a comeback.

I'm am still listening to this amazing and awesome, fantastic,l song in April of 2024 and I still get all the emotions and feelings as did back in the 80's I'm in Niagara Falls Ontario, Canada. Mark is gone from us much too soon , but his fabulous voice, music, and the neverending abyss, of memories his unique voice and type of jonre that's created a space and it immediately brings me back to this place and time like "deja vu" but it's actually a "vuja de" because I really have been there before 😅. Such a wonderful feeling to have and to remain in for a extended period of time!! "It's my life" is one of them.

[@DrDoobius]

When I was little, my parents would play this song in the car *ALL* the time. So much in fact, I had the lyrics for this song memorized by the age of 3. Everything about it makes me feel like it's the most 80s song I've ever heard, and takes me back. This song always has a true place in my heart and is one of the greatest masterpieces ever written. Godspeed, Mark Hollis. We miss you.

My youngest son died from an overdose recently. This is the song that was playing when I met his father in 1992. The lyric "funny how I find myself outliving you" hits me hard. Both my son and I suffered from opioid addiction for many years and for the life of me, I don't understand how I made it but he didn't. I'm sober now. But I wish to God every day that it had been me. He was brilliant, kind and sensitive and he should still be here now. All I can do is live my life each day, as hard as it is, in honor of him. I love you, Cameron, always. We will be together again. Shine on, my crazy diamond. 🕉
