Tengo 54 años y he vivido de todo. Muchas perdidas y aquí sigo. Mi juventud cerraba las discitecas bailando. Salia de casa el viernes y volvía el domingo por la mañana. Disfruté muchísimo de las discotecas. Nunca entendí que para bailar había gente que se drogaba. Me gustaron los 80 con todas sus complejidades. Disfrute de mi juventud como ahora disfruto de mis 50. La vida no es fácil, nada fácil. Ahi que vivirla y disfrutarla. De las personas y el día a día. Soy positiva aunque tengo una vida con problemas que me han generado otros. Pero ahí estamos para seguir disfrutando de lo equivale vivir. El camino no es fácil. Ánimo y con los pet schop boys la vida se hace más amena. Un abrazo 🇨🇱🇪🇸♥️❤️
"All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing".. I was in my 20's when this masterpiece was released having fun and being surrounded by people I loved, I am 53 now and I am listening to it on a Sunday morning, with tears in my eyes for all my losses.. Parents, friends, lovers.. Some are here but most are missing..
This is not just a legendary song. This is a defining moment in our lives. This is the friends and the lovers we lost. This is the dreams we had. This is the youth that slipped our hands. This is the Pet Shop Boys and we are very lucky to have them in our life.
❤YOU never know the innocence, strength & beauty of your youth until it's gone. I was born in Costa Rica in the 70's. Grew up in Queens New York from 1978 though the 80's. Danced and Raved my ass off in the 90's. Blessed enough to have Performed and Dance, in Thee must Legendary Club's in America and New York City Club Land. wild meeting some awesome wonderful fabulous friends. So many where lost to Drugs, Aids, Drinking, D.r.u.g.s, car accidents DWI. some are here and some are still missing. Thank you heavenly Father for your guidance, courage, strength and love. All that Behavior scared the shit out of me & it kept me on my Toes. I always had a JOB whether it was Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. And here I still am in 2024 & It's Valentines day. I'm from a generation that was NBB Never Being Boring. Thank you Pet Shop Boys for your MASTERPIECES & amazing inspiration. ⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️❤
I always worked all my life. I live in Los Angeles and so many friends fell into the gangs. I have 2 locked up in Prison for life. One was so close to me and my family. My father even wrote a letter to the judge explaining what a great kid Ricky was. he was a great student and athlete. He was my best friend in High School and later in life joined a gang and was caught doing a drive by shooting, now locked up for life. I have always believed in God, and he showed me the right way to live. I also had a strict father who raised me up Military style. He is a Korean War Veteran and always told me stay educated and the results will be awesome as you get older. He was correct. But I have so many friends now who are either homeless or on drugs or in gangs. The one who is homeless was a great athlete and he was the quarterback in our high school. I also have 2 friends who are girls, they both overdose on drugs and died. Such a Tragedy! I am starting to tear up. May God Bless All Of You. No Colors denied here!! We are one. Amen! Amen! Amen!
You never know the beauty of your youth....until it is gone. I was born in 1970...grew up in 80s...raved in the 90s.....and here i still am in 2020 I was of a generation that was never being bored. Update. Still here in 2024!
Good comment. Well, buddy, I’m 68. I did Northern Soul and Tamla on my Lambretta SX200 in the 70’s, jazz funk in the ‘80’s, went to Cream and Gatecrasher for trance in the ‘90’s. I have tickets for James Zabeila in Liverpool this November. It could just be that you are never too old to party 😉
Everytime, I hear this beautiful Track it reminds me of the friends I used to party with back in the day. In 2024 some are no longer on this earth. But I know they are listening in HEAVEN and still dancing. Circus Disco, a club in Hollywood where we used to go. I worked in a clothing store at the time in Downtown Los Angeles and my co-workers and I would hit the Hollywood scene after work. Now I am 67 years old and retired from an Auto & Home Insurance co. after 22 years. 80's best decade ever. Great Memories! MISS YOU ALL!!!
@@opa-age Yes, but I used to play The Pet Shop Boys first Album PLEASE! I always played the cassette in my 86 Trans Am in the 80's. Great Times back then.
The absolute best time ever. 90's eh ...meh!! 💁♂️ ....2000,2010,2020. No. Gross. In the 80s we were so united and we had the best music, fashion, drugs ever!!!
I'm hearing this for the first time at 39 and the tears are so cleansing. I knew the quotation was about Zelda just from "a wife of a writer in the 1920s". . . . "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I thought this song was going to be about boring people heeheee, what delightful turns of phrase this song takes, and what a beautiful video by Bruce Weber.
"Cry," perhaps, but still, in my opinion, a-this song that can make one actually THINK (not only about themselves, but also about others) is probably the more apropos term here, in a word, in a gist, and for any, and all, others who still like ingenious music that's still played, mixed, here with a whit of, say, controversy, strange parties and get togethers amongst rich people engaging in...stuff, their own proclivities, likes, dislikes.........good times, bad times, reflective times, musings...........
*I am 53. I was 23... when **_Being Boring_** came out.* 30 years. WHERE did the time go?? ⏲ This song has so much meaning to me and many many others who found inspiration from Pet Shop Boys. _Never Boring._
I lost my best friend Billy today. He turned me onto the PSB early on. He was a huge Pet Head I listen to this and memories flood my mind. RIP my friend.
Sorry for your loss. My best friend and i have been big fans of the PSB for along time. a long time. it sounds like your bestie Billy introduced you to great music. Don't just listen. Feel the music. Peace. ☮️
This song reminds me of the 80s and early days of the 90s. Can't complain. Those years were the best. I missed my high school years. No cellphones no INTERNET. Just enjoying life with my friends.👍👍
I was 14 when the album "Behaviour" came out. Now I'm 38, it's 2015 and I'm still listening to this song. And it brings me back sweet, sweet memories. "All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing" - Try to not shed a tear on that sentence, if you can!
+Thomas Samoht , it's one of my favorite of all time. I am 10 years older than you. It's the only song Ilike from this band. It's a great song in every way.
Belinha Fernandes My brother had "Actually", "Introspective" and "Disco", and a frien of mine lent me "Behavior" back then. Loved all of their albums, from first to last song...
+Thomas Samoht Bingo. I am 36 now and Being Boring was on the video tape with MTV videos, my first encounter with the notion of 'music video' somewhere around 1993... I can't find words to describe the depth to which this piece goes in my heart. Writing this right now and weeping. We will be missing, but the music will last.
By God, we really were never being boring. We couldn't be, could we? We all knew back then we were experiencing something special. I am so grateful to have been a part of it, so humbled to have shared the experience with you, my cohorts, and for The Pet Shop Boys who so beautifully captured it all in song. Love, indeed, comes quickly, whatever you do, I'll never stop falling, for you, for you.
My favourite PSB song by far, melancholy, nostalgia, dreamy, sadness, reflective.. it embodies all these feelings in the lyrics and the music. I love that atmospheric keyboard sound in the verses, just fits the words so beautifully.
One of the most beautiful songs ever made. The vid is a journey through life. I've lost someone too, I know how time works with grief. This is a classic.
Мне 47 Pet Shop Boys радует до сих пор. Здоровья вам парни и пойте дальше всем нам вашим поклонникам на радость. Такие воспоминания под вашу музыку, когда все ещё было хорошо в те далёкие и безвозвратные 1990-ые годы.
Lyrics: I came across a cache of old photos And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteen-twenties When you're young you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said "we were never feeling bored" 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "if you're not careful You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies" But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In the nineteen-nineties I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend And we were never being boring We were never being bored 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored
Bruh, this track is pure nostalgia, innit? It's all about those simpler times, partying, dressing up, and not stressing about time. It's like a reminder that even though life moves on and people change, those moments were never boring. Makes you think how fast everything can shift, but also how important it is to enjoy the ride, no regrets, no boredom.
this song always makes me confused between crying, shivering, smiling, a bit yearningly, feeling nostalgic, feeling refreshed, ... uuuuh this song fulfills me. They are genious, the boys from the petshop next door
It is a beautifully sad song, I remember I had just turned 20 when this song came out and I could not identify with the message because I was never being boring, I just thought the song was about not being boring and having fun. Now in my 40s, it is so bittersweet to listen to this song because I have lost a couple of very dear friends over the years, one a little over a year ago and another some years after this song came out. Plus all those friends you just lose touch with and never imagine you would stop seeing them. I just think in those times and how inmortal we felt, I wish my missing friends were here with me being boring.
That's life Vince... I have the same impression as you... time passes and then we realize our head is totally different from when we were in our 20s... This song is in someway a little depressive too when we think about the good old days that will never come back... that's life.
The day I leave this planet I will be SO PROUD to have been a teenager in the 80s and to get in adulthood in the 90s. The kids of today don't know how amazing it was, no cellphones, no internet, no social media, and those were still the happiest days of our lives.
I don't get these statements. We've never had so much, and society has come so far since then. My life in the 80's and 90's wasn't that great, so I guess I look back and just see how hateful and narrow minded the world was, and how much effort I had to go through to find art and beauty and good music.
In my opinion the best PSB track by a mile. It has a beautiful melody and powerful lyrics. While it wasn’t their biggest hit, it is one that sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago. I love it.
Yesterday afternoon I heard this song again at my hairdresser's. I'm 32, and I hadn't actively sought this song out since I was 20. And boy, did it hit hard this time around...I almost broke out crying.
I'm 18 and I absolutely love every single one of their songs. This is probably my favorite song of all times, the dreamy feelings it carries through those chords, the gorgeous lyrics, the synth pads, the bass line, the drums, the video, the soft Neil's voice, are a class of their own, that's so perfect. It makes me think of being young, in the past, in the flux of time, makes me want to make a video in VHS of myself these days. Although there is a bit of sadness (as he goes "now I sit in different places, in rented rooms and foreign places"), especially seeing them so young (particularly Chris), thinking they're in their 60s now; it's something that makes me cry. Sometimes when I listen to "Behaviour" it feels painful to see them "old" nowadays, in contrast with then. In spite of this I'll enjoy them as long as possible...it's difficult to describe in words how much I love this song (and the PSB)
Tenho 18 anos e sou completamente apaixonada por músicas e bandas como essa. Só lamento por jovens da minha idade que não gostam, não sabem oq estão perdendo. Isso sim é música de verdade!!!
Как то даже жаль современную молодёжь, которая не может оценить этот, да и многие другие шедевры Pet Shop Boys. Разве что кто то случайно наткнется и откроет для себя. Тут все прекрасно, и музыка, и текст, и эстетика. Которой Pet Shop Boys нету равных.
@@user-zn7nk6hs7j I dont answer you by Russian in 1945 years you anexed us (Poland) to covert to Soviet Puppet State you took of us 2/3 lands after Teheran Conference . But POLAND WANT TO BE FREE and we waited 78 Years to be from you
I've managed to survive to my 50's. I think of all my young friends who didn't. This song makes me yearn for the days when I shared their laughter. I will cherish those days forever! Hold on to your friends and let them know how much they mean!!
You know, lots of people say that the music of one decade or another had the "Best music". But this incredible song is from my 40's, every decade has its share of brilliant music, This is a perfect example of that. I love the music from the year that I got my first transistor radio on my 10th birthday in 1960. Every year before and after has great music. I still listen to new music and find new bands to love even now, in my 70s. I still like to revisit perfection like "Being Boring" every few weeks for a few hours. It makes me remember these decades, music can bring back the scent, time of year, the place you were, people you were with, and the feelings you experienced. Music is a time machine...
This track is a masterpiece in lyric writing, music formation and subject matter, I'm so glad I lived an excessive life during the 80's and 90s what memories, experiences, it was never boring.
I'm just going through a severe stage of depression and it seems like my life is faded to failure, I'm 21 years old and just feel like nothing will work out. This song somehow brings me a little hope. I hope I can survive this because deep inside I really want to live. To have a good life and inspire other people. But right now everything seems so distance. I still haven't got anywhere that I want. I hope to find strength enough to keep fighting for myself.
You can get through this, you said you hope to inspire others, im 42 now suffer with depression and anxiety and your inspiring me. You know and got this at 21. You've got a lot to give this world that I'm sure of. Stay strong Marina 👊 You've got this today 🙂
Girl, you're early 20s can be a confusing time. Hang in there..I promise it will get better. You will find yourself as time goes on and things will fall into place ❤️❤️
Marina Batista beautiful girl... 'Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long,... and in the end, it's only with yourself'... Listen to Baz Lurman "Everybody's Free (to wear Sunscreen)" Whenever I feel lost, down, bewildered, or behind, I always listen to that song/poem to cheer me up. Your young beautiful and fabulous. Don't sweat the small stuff.
youre still very young,youll be looking back fondly in your thirties,just keep head up and get things done...youre stronger than you realise at the moment
This has always been my favourite song by The Pet Shop Boys. It simply says it ALL ... people who say they are "bored" should listen to this - REALLY LISTEN !!
I was 14 when this song came out and could instantly feel it was masterpiece, the song, the lyrics, the video. Now I'm 45 and I feel everything else, the longing, the loss, the passage of time...
One of my faves of all time. I was 14 when it came out. Loved it then and love it more now. Weird trivia: Axl Rose (a big fan) enjoyed this song so much, he asked the PSB why they didn’t have it in their live set at concerts shortly after it had come out. It was added after that and NT said it got the biggest reception in their encore.
My goodness. My dad use to play his old tapes in the car when I was young and I remember having listened to so many songs by the pet shop boys. To come back and listen to this after so long feels so incredibly nostalgic and beautiful. This is real music.
You're young, Pet Shop Boys were huge in the 1980s, it was a brilliant decade to be alive in, music 🎶 was astonishing, so many good bands and artists.... Today music is obsolete in comparison... Look into the 80s music, you'll love it. 👍
This song is magnificent. The dreamy melodies are as nostalgic and soft as a faded polaroid. But the lyrics stab you where it hurts, because time doesn't stop. If we're lucky, we'll all have that chance to reminisce on our past and think about the end. So bittersweet. I'm always left dumbfounded by the PSB and how deep they can be with pop, a seemingly simple thing. Love them.
Simplesmente lindo, romântico, nostálgico, poético, enfim, a letra, a melodia, o filme em preto e branco, isso soa como ver fotos velhas, ou algum comercial de perfumes Calvin Klein...
The nostalgia is rushing in from all different directions within my head! Love the message in this song. A timeless classic. All the memories are being encapsulated in the 'golden' decades of our lives
Esses caras continuam nas paradas. Gosto disso, são uns dos poucos guardiões da boa música. Década de 80, inesquecível! Minha juventude foi regada a músicas dessa natureza e penso que muitos que comentam aqui também. Show
My favorite PSB song. Very nostalgic with a hint of sadness. I don't know if the whole meaning of the song is this, but I always consider this a nod to the people who had to deal with the AIDS crisis, those who didnt make it and those who survived, and saying at least they lived their lives in the full meaning of the word. They weren't sitting on the sidelines watching life pass them by.
I couldn't agree more. I believe this was very popular song with the gay community in the early 1990s, played at many a funeral of someone gone too soon.
Yes, it was a very popular song with the gay community in the early 90s. I remember a lot of people cheering this video every time it came on in my favorite bar. Happy and sad times.
It just occurred to me that what Sinatra's "when I was 17" was to my parents generation, this song is to my generation , X. Words cannot begin to describe how good those days were for me. I bought this album when it came out.And i'm so happy that it Recorded in me the beauty of those days, and no one can take away the memories.Thank you pet shop boys so much.

Good comment. Well, buddy, I’m 68. I did Northern Soul and Tamla on my Lambretta SX200 in the 70’s, jazz funk in the ‘80’s, went to Cream and Gatecrasher for trance in the ‘90’s.
I have tickets for James Zabeila in Liverpool this November.
It could just be that you are never too old to party 😉
ps I was never, or have ever have been, bored 😎
You get it... watch any of their stuff, you can recapture a little bit of your youth...
Same here. 1974.
Probably, Pet Shop Boys' greatest masterpiece, a sublime work of art.
hard to choose between Being boring and Can you forgive her
...on every level...chic....sensual...fun....sexy....funky....strange...bizarre...hip....and very melancholy....
You read my mind. "You can look back, but you can't go back."
Agreed. This is my absolute fav
This song is actually Pet Shop Boys's favorite song too saying this in an MTV interview few years back.
I’m 50 now, and this song is the perfect nostalgic nod to my youth. Thank you for giving us this memory so many years ago ❤
Wish I would have really listened to the words of the song.....all came true
Can you for give her...... same thing... Damn!!!!!
🤗🤗🤗🤗
I turn 50 in 4 days..... my husband died 3 years ago and yeah it reminds me of yesteryears
I just turned 50! Love this song, so many good memories.

What a PHENOMENAL song. One of Pet Shops Boys's best! Both musically and lyrically!

This is a sad happy song. Thank you Pet Shop Boys for this masterpiece!
This is for me the masterpiece of The Pet Shop Boys. They’ve had so many great songs but this for me edges it. Lyrically it’s excellent.
Ya,if you like songs that were written while receiving a pulumpkin then leaving a duce.
Definitely
Can you forgive her is one of the best..... been cheated on far too many times
I agree. This is one of their bests.
My favorite was Domino's dancing
When I watch this music video, I get a strong sense of nostalgia. And tears fall from my eyes
I'm hearing this for the first time at 39 and the tears are so cleansing. I knew the quotation was about Zelda just from "a wife of a writer in the 1920s". . . . "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” I thought this song was going to be about boring people heeheee, what delightful turns of phrase this song takes, and what a beautiful video by Bruce Weber.

Bruce Weber did an amazing job on this. The guy responsible for the 90s black and white Calvin Klein esthetic.
“When a song makes you cry you know is a masterpiece.”

Or when it sends a shiver down your spine. Beautiful!
"Cry," perhaps, but still, in my opinion, a-this song that can make one actually THINK (not only about themselves, but also about others) is probably the more apropos term here, in a word, in a gist, and for any, and all, others who still like ingenious music that's still played, mixed, here with a whit of, say, controversy, strange parties and get togethers amongst rich people engaging in...stuff, their own proclivities, likes, dislikes.........good times, bad times, reflective times, musings...........

So many memories. And some no longer here.
This song captures every emotion brilliantly. Nostaligia, yearning, loss, love. Pure brilliance.

@you can't be this empty You nailed it! I feel the same way.
pure bueatful nostalgia
This is for my mom. We were never bored. ❤
I lost my best friend Billy today. He turned me onto the PSB early on. He was a huge Pet Head I listen to this and memories flood my mind. RIP my friend.
❤️
Musica e clip são primorosos.
Sorry for your loss. My best friend and i have been big fans of the PSB for along time. a long time. it sounds like your bestie Billy introduced you to great music. Don't just listen. Feel the music. Peace. ☮️
Sorry for the loss of your beloved friend
My condolences. May he rest in peace
The person who made this video deserves an Oscar. And damn, the Pet Shop Boys deserve a Nobel prize for this song!
Lara Hager Bruce Weber. He is a genius.
yes, Bruce Weber. Fashion photographer. This was his first video, and it is startling and sublime.
You are soo right!
huh?
Super
"But I thought in spite of dreams, you'd be sitting somewhere here with me"
So bitter sweet!
loojiful Looji One of the best lines of lyrics ever written. Squeezes the heart.
I always lose it when i hear that line 😢
I am now 63 loved these days thank you pet shop boys
This song reminds me of the 80s and early days of the 90s. Can't complain. Those years were the best. I missed my high school years. No cellphones no INTERNET. Just enjoying life with my friends.👍👍
👌👌So true
Agreed
and never being boring
Cell phones and especially the internet has made us more apart from each other, instead of getting us closer
Jee yes.....
Never more I saw so many beauty in a single video. What sucks in being old? The reminds of when we were young
I was 14 when the album "Behaviour" came out. Now I'm 38, it's 2015 and I'm still listening to this song. And it brings me back sweet, sweet memories.
"All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing" - Try to not shed a tear on that sentence, if you can!
+Thomas Samoht Always thought the lyrics on this song were almost poetical
+Thomas Samoht , it's one of my favorite of all time. I am 10 years older than you. It's the only song Ilike from this band. It's a great song in every way.
Belinha Fernandes My brother had "Actually", "Introspective" and "Disco", and a frien of mine lent me "Behavior" back then. Loved all of their albums, from first to last song...
+Thomas Samoht Bingo. I am 36 now and Being Boring was on the video tape with MTV videos, my first encounter with the notion of 'music video' somewhere around 1993... I can't find words to describe the depth to which this piece goes in my heart. Writing this right now and weeping. We will be missing, but the music will last.
+Thomas Samoht I'm the same age as you and still put behaviour in my top 10 albums list. It is pure class all the way through
One of the best songs ever.
Xxxxxxx
By God, we really were never being boring. We couldn't be, could we? We all knew back then we were experiencing something special. I am so grateful to have been a part of it, so humbled to have shared the experience with you, my cohorts, and for The Pet Shop Boys who so beautifully captured it all in song. Love, indeed, comes quickly, whatever you do, I'll never stop falling, for you, for you.
The best pop song ever. A true classic. Pure class.
My favourite PSB song by far, melancholy, nostalgia, dreamy, sadness, reflective.. it embodies all these feelings in the lyrics and the music. I love that atmospheric keyboard sound in the verses, just fits the words so beautifully.
That song brings good high school memories.
By far
Very true
Indeed, very well said 👏
Best song ever written
One of the most beautiful songs ever made. The vid is a journey through life. I've lost someone too, I know how time works with grief. This is a classic.
Мне 47 Pet Shop Boys радует до сих пор. Здоровья вам парни и пойте дальше всем нам вашим поклонникам на радость. Такие воспоминания под вашу музыку, когда все ещё было хорошо в те далёкие и безвозвратные 1990-ые годы.

Lyrics:
I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said, with quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said "we were never feeling bored"
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
When I went I left from the station
With a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said: "if you're not careful
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
I would never find myself feeling bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
So meaningful
Thanks
thanks from russia
Thank you so much for the songtext!
Tks
Bruh, this track is pure nostalgia, innit? It's all about those simpler times, partying, dressing up, and not stressing about time. It's like a reminder that even though life moves on and people change, those moments were never boring. Makes you think how fast everything can shift, but also how important it is to enjoy the ride, no regrets, no boredom.
No smart phones/www
this song always makes me confused between crying, shivering, smiling, a bit yearningly, feeling nostalgic, feeling refreshed, ... uuuuh this song fulfills me. They are genious, the boys from the petshop next door
🌈❣️🌻
actually that was their masterplan, and they fullfilled.
@@PatagonianWarrior me too
You just made me forget how to spell genius for a second
@@poperaymond431 funny, I thought only we Germans are smart alecks 😉
this is an absolute beast of an ode to life, youth, love and beauty. love love love.
It is a beautifully sad song, I remember I had just turned 20 when this song came out and I could not identify with the message because I was never being boring, I just thought the song was about not being boring and having fun.
Now in my 40s, it is so bittersweet to listen to this song because I have lost a couple of very dear friends over the years, one a little over a year ago and another some years after this song came out. Plus all those friends you just lose touch with and never imagine you would stop seeing them.
I just think in those times and how inmortal we felt, I wish my missing friends were here with me being boring.
That's life Vince... I have the same impression as you... time passes and then we realize our head is totally different from when we were in our 20s... This song is in someway a little depressive too when we think about the good old days that will never come back... that's life.
insanely good song prob one of the biggest tear inducing songs ever made
Lq
This song has sentimental value. Man, the 90's were so good and special for me.
Amen all the way Vince.👍
One of the best compositions in musical history, and also one of the most beatiful videos i have ever seen ❤, pet shop boys forever
The best Pet Shop Boys song. Amo tudo da dupla, mas esta é simplesmente fantástica!
The day I leave this planet I will be SO PROUD to have been a teenager in the 80s and to get in adulthood in the 90s. The kids of today don't know how amazing it was, no cellphones, no internet, no social media, and those were still the happiest days of our lives.
yo tambien pienso como vos
For me too Caesar ,great Pet Shop Boys
The Best!!!!!
Those were the good old days..
I don't get these statements. We've never had so much, and society has come so far since then. My life in the 80's and 90's wasn't that great, so I guess I look back and just see how hateful and narrow minded the world was, and how much effort I had to go through to find art and beauty and good music.
Amazing song....
This song is for the younger generations. Dont be boring with your phones and instagram and tik tok. Live🎉
Never being bored of this song. Neil Tennant is one of the best songwriters. His poetry is like fine piece of literature
I doubt that anything will ever surpass this masterpiece. Timeless.
I agree with your tought .....i love so much this masterpiece
This song never fails to make me cry everytime.
me too my friend....
It makes me miss my youth and how simple things were then. And how I'd do it all again and more. 😢
i feel sad, dancing in a party thinking about your mortality.
This is bittersweet nostalgia for me. Thank gawd for the Pet Shop Boys and this song
Probably the best music video ever, kudos to all
Those who took part in this masterpiece…. Those years really we were never bored
In my opinion the best PSB track by a mile. It has a beautiful melody and powerful lyrics. While it wasn’t their biggest hit, it is one that sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago. I love it.
It's not the age, it's the attitude. Whenever I hear and see this song, I go back to those early 90s when life was so swell. Sublime video.
olli manninen It brings back to tears and so many memories. I can relate to your comment.
I hear that and you're right.
Same....love 90s...good old young days....carefree..no internet...cell....just play out in summer...ride bikes...
Yesterday afternoon I heard this song again at my hairdresser's. I'm 32, and I hadn't actively sought this song out since I was 20. And boy, did it hit hard this time around...I almost broke out crying.
painfully beautiful song
Best comment ever.
André Antoine ❤Great!!!
Perfect, flawless PetShop Boys classic. Never ages...
I'm 18 and I absolutely love every single one of their songs. This is probably my favorite song of all times, the dreamy feelings it carries through those chords, the gorgeous lyrics, the synth pads, the bass line, the drums, the video, the soft Neil's voice, are a class of their own, that's so perfect. It makes me think of being young, in the past, in the flux of time, makes me want to make a video in VHS of myself these days. Although there is a bit of sadness (as he goes "now I sit in different places, in rented rooms and foreign places"), especially seeing them so young (particularly Chris), thinking they're in their 60s now; it's something that makes me cry. Sometimes when I listen to "Behaviour" it feels painful to see them "old" nowadays, in contrast with then.
In spite of this I'll enjoy them as long as possible...it's difficult to describe in words how much I love this song (and the PSB)
Вы прочитали мои мысли. Я с самого детства их слушаю и продолжаю слушать до сих пор, сейчас мне 15 лет.
By..gio..sss...primo..non..ripete..ciao..gio..sss..junior..in..by..gio..sss..primo..Milano.. italy..ciaoo
I love that they played this at the end of their Radio 2 in the park set, it's my favourite song of theirs
Tenho 18 anos e sou completamente apaixonada por músicas e bandas como essa. Só lamento por jovens da minha idade que não gostam, não sabem oq estão perdendo. Isso sim é música de verdade!!!
com certeza ;) eu tenho 25 anos e ouço desde criança essas músicas da época kk muito bom!
E eu que pensei que nossa juventude estava perdida . Pelo visto , ainda não!
Tenho 18 anos tbm, pet shop boys é uma das bandas da minha adolescência 💕 amo muito
show gaby tenho 35 anos e sei bem do q a musica fala, aproveita bem sua juventude e escute musicas boas! bjs
Eu tbm tenho 18 anos rsrs e am❤️ essa músicas dos anos 80.
Honestly, this is my most favourite song by Pet Shop Boys, and I cried after listening to this.
Sheer beauty. What a masterpiece. It always brings me to tears. Why?
One of the best pop songs ever written. After all these years, I come back here again and again. The Pet Shop Boys will accompany me until I die.
Как то даже жаль современную молодёжь, которая не может оценить этот, да и многие другие шедевры Pet Shop Boys. Разве что кто то случайно наткнется и откроет для себя. Тут все прекрасно, и музыка, и текст, и эстетика. Которой Pet Shop Boys нету равных.
we Polish just want left alone REALLY
In Poland there's good things like the polish tongue, Deep in Calm and Adam Malycz. am not polish by the way.
@@stanisawdebski8897 при чем здесь поляки??
@@user-zn7nk6hs7j I dont answer you by Russian in 1945 years you anexed us (Poland) to covert to Soviet Puppet State you took of us 2/3 lands after Teheran Conference . But POLAND WANT TO BE FREE and we waited 78 Years to be from you
NEVER FUCKING AGAIN
I am in my early 50's today . But never being bored. Takes me back to london 1986 when I was 15. ouahhh.
I've managed to survive to my 50's. I think of all my young friends who didn't. This song makes me yearn for the days when I shared their laughter. I will cherish those days forever!
Hold on to your friends and let them know how much they mean!!
God, nostalgia is such a powerful feeling of bittersweet
You know, lots of people say that the music of one decade or another had the "Best music". But this incredible song is from my 40's, every decade has its share of brilliant music, This is a perfect example of that. I love the music from the year that I got my first transistor radio on my 10th birthday in 1960. Every year before and after has great music. I still listen to new music and find new bands to love even now, in my 70s. I still like to revisit perfection like "Being Boring" every few weeks for a few hours. It makes me remember these decades, music can bring back the scent, time of year, the place you were, people you were with, and the feelings you experienced. Music is a time machine...
I can listen to this song 1 million times. A true masterpiece, literally. Just transmits so much comfort to my ears.
This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
Ha…clever answer!
Certainly one of the best music videos ever.
This track is a masterpiece in lyric writing, music formation and subject matter, I'm so glad I lived an excessive life during the 80's and 90s what memories, experiences, it was never boring.
This song makes me want to live every moment from my 20's.
I'm just going through a severe stage of depression and it seems like my life is faded to failure, I'm 21 years old and just feel like nothing will work out. This song somehow brings me a little hope. I hope I can survive this because deep inside I really want to live. To have a good life and inspire other people. But right now everything seems so distance. I still haven't got anywhere that I want. I hope to find strength enough to keep fighting for myself.
You can get through this, you said you hope to inspire others, im 42 now suffer with depression and anxiety and your inspiring me. You know and got this at 21.
You've got a lot to give this world that I'm sure of. Stay strong Marina 👊
You've got this today 🙂
Girl, you're early 20s can be a confusing time. Hang in there..I promise it will get better. You will find yourself as time goes on and things will fall into place ❤️❤️
Marina Batista beautiful girl... 'Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long,... and in the end, it's only with yourself'... Listen to Baz Lurman "Everybody's Free (to wear Sunscreen)" Whenever I feel lost, down, bewildered, or behind, I always listen to that song/poem to cheer me up. Your young beautiful and fabulous. Don't sweat the small stuff.
You can surpass the trials. Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏
youre still very young,youll be looking back fondly in your thirties,just keep head up and get things done...youre stronger than you realise at the moment
Closing song to the bloody amazing set just seen for Radio 2 in Preston. PSB are timeless man! 🫶🏼❤️🔥
Beatiful song. Takes me back to my youth when life happier, freer, younger, less stress……
I miss those days so much.
Me too😢
This has always been my favourite song by The Pet Shop Boys. It simply says it ALL ... people who say they are "bored" should listen to this - REALLY LISTEN !!
This is the same for me and I totally agree with you !
TheLostSinner I am SO glad that I am not the only one who feels this way!!
susi dakin
I also agree totally with you...simply great !!!! the POSTER of an AGE..and a GENERATION.....
Aha!! I like that ^^^, Susan S
27 years ago! stevepafford.com/pet-shop-boys-27-years-boring/
I was 14 when this song came out and could instantly feel it was masterpiece, the song, the lyrics, the video. Now I'm 45 and I feel everything else, the longing, the loss, the passage of time...
One of my faves of all time. I was 14 when it came out. Loved it then and love it more now.
Weird trivia: Axl Rose (a big fan) enjoyed this song so much, he asked the PSB why they didn’t have it in their live set at concerts shortly after it had come out. It was added after that and NT said it got the biggest reception in their encore.
I don’t know how many times I listened to this song. Never being bored with it. Real masterpiece. 💖
Самый атмосферный их клип и музыка кайфовая. Как запал он мне в душу ещё в юности, так и радует до сих пор спустя десятилетия. Браво!
This song and the video is a masterpiece. I remember in 1990 when I was in Toronto Canada when it came out. How time flies
Just wow the video and the track ..next level
This song perfectly captures youth. Even though all of us had different experiences the feeling is the same.
This song and video is EVERYTHING 31 years later! Thank you for this masterpiece!
Still one of my favorite PSB songs even after almost 25 years... Brings back so many memories...
Same....its 29 yrs old song now..i remenber listening at 18 yrs...wish cud go back to my youth...miss it a lot....nostalgic
For me, the best song by PSB ever... And one of the best from the 80s. Never get tired of listening.
My goodness. My dad use to play his old tapes in the car when I was young and I remember having listened to so many songs by the pet shop boys. To come back and listen to this after so long feels so incredibly nostalgic and beautiful. This is real music.
This is beautiful. Never heard this until now. Love it. Pet Shop boys so underrated.
You're young, Pet Shop Boys were huge in the 1980s, it was a brilliant decade to be alive in, music 🎶 was astonishing, so many good bands and artists.... Today music is obsolete in comparison... Look into the 80s music, you'll love it. 👍
This song is magnificent. The dreamy melodies are as nostalgic and soft as a faded polaroid. But the lyrics stab you where it hurts, because time doesn't stop. If we're lucky, we'll all have that chance to reminisce on our past and think about the end. So bittersweet. I'm always left dumbfounded by the PSB and how deep they can be with pop, a seemingly simple thing. Love them.
Faded polaroid. Perfect comparison...
I miss the 90's so much! Being carefree and thinking the future was even brighter.
This right here, especially for 1990, THIS is how you do synth-driven pop music! 🖤🤍
This song will never be boring Shoot it goes on repeat every time I come across it
It was a different time then, when everything meant something, and The Pet Shop Boys helped us achieve that. I miss those days
Still great song I’m over 50 but still this song is nostalgic
Listening to this song in 2021, still gives me the shivers since I first heard it in 1993.
Simplesmente lindo, romântico, nostálgico, poético, enfim, a letra, a melodia, o filme em preto e branco, isso soa como ver fotos velhas, ou algum comercial de perfumes Calvin Klein...
Joel Felipe Ritzel England. Todo lo inglés tiene arte maestro!
Perfeita
Essa musica da uma sensação de ter deixado algo inacabado lá atrás
CONCORDO PLENAMENTE COM VOCÊ joel .VINDO do PET SHOP BOYS TAMBÉM É SÓ POESIA. ADORO ESTA BANDA !
A música é linda e as imagens só completam nossa imaginação.
The nostalgia is rushing in from all different directions within my head! Love the message in this song. A timeless classic. All the memories are being encapsulated in the 'golden' decades of our lives
I must have been 9 and used to sit for hours watching MTV waiting for this song. Thought it was magical, gosh it brings back memories of my youth.
Esses caras continuam nas paradas. Gosto disso, são uns dos poucos guardiões da boa música. Década de 80, inesquecível! Minha juventude foi regada a músicas dessa natureza e penso que muitos que comentam aqui também. Show
Regivan Oliveira essa musica é da decada de 90 mania de achar que só 80s tem musica boa.
90 ou 80 não importa o certo é que à partir dos anos 2000 começou a decadência....kkkkkk
Edi Verdade kkkkjjjj, só lançaram merda no ano 2000.
Loving for this song ❤
Guardiões da música gostei desse terno
My favorite PSB song. Very nostalgic with a hint of sadness. I don't know if the whole meaning of the song is this, but I always consider this a nod to the people who had to deal with the AIDS crisis, those who didnt make it and those who survived, and saying at least they lived their lives in the full meaning of the word. They weren't sitting on the sidelines watching life pass them by.
you nailed it perfectly - thank you!
I couldn't agree more. I believe this was very popular song with the gay community in the early 1990s, played at many a funeral of someone gone too soon.
Yes, it was a very popular song with the gay community in the early 90s. I remember a lot of people cheering this video every time it came on in my favorite bar. Happy and sad times.
Howard Flogel I agree wholeheartedly with you. I live my life to the fullest everyday. before you know it your times up. sad but true.
Howard Flogel So true ; it made me cry
It just occurred to me that what Sinatra's "when I was 17" was to my parents generation, this song is to my generation , X. Words cannot begin to describe how good those days were for me. I bought this album when it came out.And i'm so happy that it Recorded in me the beauty of those days, and no one can take away the memories.Thank you pet shop boys so much.
I love this song so much. First time I saw it was at a roller skate rink. Life changing and very dear to me.
