they were young: and competition was still fairly competitive, supposedly.... but they apparently paid-it-no-mind, haha

I still love this lp..I was so lonely when i used to play this...It still makes me feel that way,,,

[@DieMultipolareWelt]

I used to listen to this album in my youth a lot. - If all lonely people of the world stuck together, we'd be the vast majority.

A song from the edge of the world. broadcasting from the underground cafe. Forgotten songs.

[@TheHoneypot27]

i think the vocalist creates a lot of the deep atmospherics; such a delicious voice and then i think the fact that they don't try to be technical wizzards but instead let the songs breathe and be quite minimal in many ways is what makes their songs so great/

[@CircleofShit]

Spot on. The best kind of music. This song is beautiful.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Very English sounding

[@timothyburrows8385]

Just HAD to hear this song tonight.

[@jeffbilby9415]

such a great atmospheric band, a favorite song..just saw them live the other night, this song is still just as dark as ever!

[@nobleisapp]

Love, love this Furs’ nostalgic song. Brings back so many memories.

[@joeceonnia1954]

I started listening to bands like the Psychedelic's and The English Beat way back in the late 70's because I just couldn't stand another 20 minute guitar solo, I just couldn't do it...Punk came out at the right moment. Yes I dug it too, everyone was waiting for this sound. Thank God it came when it did...

[@vannjunkin8041]

Same thing early 90s.. when grunge killed the hair metal .. it was a welcomed sweep.

[@mikeperez4819]

Thanks for this post. I never understood the lyrics but now that I'm headed toward 70 and still bicycling...I often pace along "sister of mine..."

[@bodgertime]

try it down a dark alley

[@JWC-AirWalker]

The mysterious lyric was written by Richard Butler, after his girlfriend of the time moved to Italy. "Instead of saying 'my bird's gone to Italy and I miss her,' I tried to put over the feeling of being sad and low with images," he explained, a device which works perfectly. Against the band's slowly, darkly percolating rhythm, Butler's performance is a masterpiece of understatement, whispered intimacy rendered all the more effective by the instructions he was given by producer Steve Lillywhite: "he told me, 'go down the pub, have a couple of beers, and when you come back, I want you to sing like it's three in the morning, and you're talking on the telephone to someone.'" --AllMusic

[@darshanmand6093]

[@patrickburke9822]

That voice and sax together, perfect

[@krmhayes2893]

I just found this song, while searçhing you tube for some new music I would like, and I hit paydirt!! Sounds so good. Whats weird is none of these guys had any musical training, they just did it. Sometimes that is the best way to do it.

[@jennycohl8401]

I bought this album, when it first came out. Fun to dance too.

[@andylorenxx1]

That was a cute comment 😉

[@pamelaa.mankowski212]

Came here from my Ex ty Steve .. his introducing me to the greatest music in my life ... and this song is in cold case S5 E 10 by Duran Duran Till the mornin after , and God Bless the Psychedelic Furs for saving my mind !

[@roringaru]

I discovered the Furs thanks to that cold case episode ! Great one

Where the hell does the time go? Loved this song since first hearing it 38 years ago... Always will love it but, fuck me, those years are flying by!

Sister Europe (Lyrics) The Psychedelic Furs Stupid on the Steinway So sick upon a Steinway The sailors drown See them talk and see them drown And see them drink and fall around Upon the floor Sister of mine, home again Sister of mine, home again Lonely in a crowded room The radio plays out of tune So silently The radio upon the floor Is stupid it plays Aznavour So out of key Sister of mine Home again Sister of mine Home again Broken on a ship of fools Even dreams must fall to rules So stupidly Words are all just useless sound Just like cards they fall around And we will be Sister of mine Home again Sister of mine Home again Buy a car and watch it rust Sister see them fall to dust They fall around In another crowded room Paint me like the shirt i'm in Honestly Sister of mine Home again Sister of mine Home again Sister of mine Sister of mine Sister of mine Sister of mine Sister Composers: T. Butler, R. Butler, J. Ashton, V. Ely

Binge-reading Bret Easton Ellis & wanted an ambient 80s soundtrack; this came on old Spotify playlist shuffle & I was thrilled to rediscover a gem outside of my typical/done-2-death 80s stuff. Clutch addition to that ambient 80s vibe; feels like something his characters would be playing while being rich, morally bankrupt brats! AKA a glamorous & well-funded drug den. High end drugs & everything else, of course 😉

Funny is that the Album on which we find "PRETTY IN PINK" is called "TALK TALK TALK", and that I described to my Girl, the one with these beautiful Pink Socks, the PSY FURS as an early incarnation of what became later the TALK TALK of MARK HOLLIS (at their end).
