I personally think the best period was the romantic period with Liszt, Chopin or early romantics like Schubert...later post-Wagnerian impressionist French composers Satie or impressionists like DeBussy.
That is so brilliant an observation. I was trying to figure out why this was so "different". Also I had no idea that Nick Rhodes wrote "Too Shy" for Kajagoogo.
True lol Like the dark side version bipolar personality version ha (All the best artists and genii are afflicted haha): Duran= good😇 Arcadia= evil😈 lol😆🤣
I agree so much. I can never stop listening to it, sometimes even 5 times on repeat. It just flows so amazingly, and the atmosphere, sound, everything, it's just so perfect, every damn song, every detail. I don't wanna sound like a dick and I feel terrible saying so bc i LOVE DD, but sometimes I catch myself thinking that "So Red The Rose" is even better than most albums DD released, bc they just don't flow the way this one does. And it has so much more depth, I don't know how to explain. I just wish they'd have released at least 1-2 more albums with Arcadia, but well, I won't complain bc I'm super grateful they made this at all.
Sad as it may be, another So Red The Rose would not have happened as producer Alex Sedakin died in a car crash afterwards while he was in progress with the Thompson Twins project that included his version of "Lay Your Hands On Me"--the Twins were another band which had very flowing sounds--Quick Step & a Side Kick then Into The Gap (the ending of that album was sublime. Alex was an incredible hand for both bands.
Oh hell yeah. Every time I think of changing my black hair, I literally think of this video and think nope. Im good. They remind me of beautiful vampires. ❤
...it still holds up beautifully... if you look up the gay artist ...JEAN COCTEAU... you will see that this video references him a lot...especially his movie...BEAUTY AND THE BEAST !!!
@@Маргарита2003that's not the point, music is deliberately thrown at people without being asked for. I used to work in radio and played the music I wanted not the music that society wanted me to listen to.
...it was just after i pressed play that i was instantly transported back to the 80's! A time when i had hair like john taylor and eye liner & make up like nick rhodes. Now all i have is a bald head and a pocket full of careless memories
@@richardscott4300 Find Jesus? What for? Jesus never had the style or musical talent which Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes or Roger Taylor have, so he would be nothing but a really lame knock-off. :-)
Daniela Schwarz Sure. I'll meet you at the mall - the video arcade. We'll share a cheap slice of pizza and go for a spin in my dads car that I stole for the night. Good times!
The Arcadia project was a brilliant piece of work--the best Duran album never made by the band. A quirky piece of art in both the music and the album's artwork--comes close to a Rio cover as any does. If John and Andy Taylor let themselves be a part of the project along with Grace Jones, David Gilmore, and Sting plus many more of great contributors--the album would have been way ahead of the time considering how many artists now appear on songs (adding nothing near to this). With Arcadia so much was added with the collaborations, like Sting on "The Promise"---his voice harmonized with Simon's perfectly. So Red The Rose is the perfect fit between Seven and the Ragged Tiger and Notorious. In fact, I believe that "A View To A Kill" owes much to Arcadia's sound more than just adding John's brilliant bass and Andy's gifted guitar work to it. "A View To A Kill" is the most popular of the Bond themes and the most successful. Think of "Election Day" with Andy's rhythm guitar and John Taylor working with Sting on the bass. Sadly this was one of producer Alex Sadkin's (who also helmed Seven and the Ragged Tiger) last projects before his fatal accident--his last production gig was with Thompson Twins "Lay Your Hands On Me" the original UK single version. Funny that Duran worked with Nile Rodgers on "A View To A Kill" and the album Notorious and also worked with TT on the album Here's To Future Days which was to be a Sadkin production. Take the b-side to "Union Of The Snake", "Secret Oktober" as an omen to So Red The Rose---only Simon picked out a piece of poetry from his notebook, then Nick and he worked it out with Alex as the rest of the band had left Australia and the label wanted a non-album b-side. "Secret Oktober" is one of my favorite Duran b-side of all time.
Ha! I watched a video about forgotten 80s songs and it was this. My comment was " damn they trying to rip of Duran Duran". How in the hell did I miss this???
Usually, the ads copied the successful music videos. And remember, commercials were made by many of the same directors who made the music videos. It was good money those days. Probably still is, more so.
Grace Jones is still one of the Greatest Music Icons of all time. In 1978 she invited Bernard Edwards & Nile Rogers of Chic as her special Guests at Studio 54 and they weren't allowed in. They were so angry they went home and wrote a "F@ck You!" type of song which of course would later be Le Freak. In later years Nile Rogers would later work with Duran Duran after Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor left. In the UK his music still resonates. On Popstars 2 The Rivals The Female Contestants sang We Are Family, Steps a Co-Ed Group did Everybody Dance, as did Kimberely Walsh of Girls Aloud.
The wise men knew. Who lived this time, knows all the emotion of that moment and that Duran Duran and in this project "Arcadia", captured the emotion of a generation with real music. I know I lived.
Thanks so much for this,back in my day this was so awesome.Having to wait for hours waiting to see this video on MTV. Now you just press a button, LOL!!!
After nearly 30yrs nothing comes close in music than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was back there again! I miss the great music that was da 80s! DURAN DURAN 4ever and da rest.
I dont know if it is but it should be. The video is actually distracting given how great the song is, and the album is too. I do think Duran never surpassed the amazing art-punk goodness of their first album, but they came closer with this than Rio, no matter what those who like their sugarier stuff say.
Strange how after 30+ years this album is back in heavy rotation in my car. The first 4 songs on this album are excellent - the rest is good but I have to be in the mood for it.
1985 (I was 17; guy I was with was 16): First time I ever EVER heard of this song and Arcadia was coming home late night from a movie…one guy was driving while I was making out with a former boyfriend in the back seat…and this was the first song coming from the car speakers! We were both already HUGE DD fans, so talk about icing on the cake! Loved the album ever since; also have the vinyl for it! GREAT TIMES!!!
God, when this got out it had me uhngggg breathless...rushed to the recordshop the very next day and ordered the 12" (it wasn't available yet....oh, bless the days you had to wait for something iso instant gratification.....) I still have the 12" and whenever this song comes along I still have that excitement of "bloody hell, this is da bomb!!!"
I remember immediately rushing to the store to get this cassette. Yes, I got this on Capitol cassette with Extended Dynamic Range. Thank goodness I also have it on LP now. Saw where Simon L. recently purchased this LP at a independent record store because he was so proud of this project and always wanted to own it.
Just discovered this video last week. The 1980s were a great time for videos and only now have I learned that this was maybe the best. The song is out and out magnificent, and you're right, nobody writes 'em like this anymore. Extra stars for Simon Le Bon's dancing.
The older second table lady, Young girl at the end, including the wall hidden elderly man and "Grace Jones" complimented this video smack dab in the 80s YEAH 1985 DuranDuran/Arcadia
In 2005, I was fortunate enough to meet Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes. I told them both what I always thought. I told them that, So Red The Rose was a masterpiece. I still think that. Lyrically and musically.....pure art. They were both gracious with my acknowledgment.
Bought the 12inch straight away back in the 80's! Masterpiece! Duran going underground and did it well!!!! I'm 45 now and still this is one of my favourites of the 80's. Going to see Duran this year in Night at the Park, The Hague. Love this track to today!
Rene-I know you posted that a very long time ago now but I also live Duran Duran + both side projects Arcadia + Power Station.....I'm from the UK and The Hague is one of my fav cities of Holland and also like Towns outside of The Hague like: Wateringen
I just played this song from Tidal in my new audio system and it sounds absolutely top notch. 35 years went pass, the sound quality and mixing is still out of ordinary. One of my most favorite Duran's track...
nunca habia escuchado esta version, es como estrenarla de nuevo y me encanta no pude dejar de moverme en mi silla gracias por compartirlo, saludos desde Mexico
One of the best albums of the 80's, period! There are so many layers to 'So Red the Rose' - it was way ahead of it's time. Even though it sounds so much like it came from the 80's, there's so much going on in the music. Completely underrated and deserves much more credit than any Duran album (no offense meant).
Simon and Nick with this black hair is...something else. The whole look of this video is really interesting and unique. I'm not sure what I was doing when this came out but I missed it. Thankful for TH-cam right now.
Wow this song is 39 years old 🎸🤘 next year it will be the Big 40 yahoo i remu hearing it for the first time back in 85 i was 18 yrs old and that's ehen I got into the Goth scene because of Simon and Nick 🤘🤘🎤🎹
![[HiFi] Jan Hammer - Sonny Crockett's Theme (Miami Vice Theme)](/img/n.gif)
Is no one else listening to this right now? It’s kinda perfect...
Exactly! I was looking for this song for today’s purpose.
Most definitely listening.....
Perfect for today!!!
Posted it to my FB Account several years ago and felt the irresistible urge to post it again.
This song must be appreciated today!!!
The 80’s....probably the best music ever written.
yes you are right
I was 31 when this came out. The 1980s remain my favorite decade.
Still remember the first time I hear this song. definitely mind blowing
!!!
I personally think the best period was the romantic period with Liszt, Chopin or early romantics like Schubert...later post-Wagnerian impressionist French composers Satie or impressionists like DeBussy.
😁😀
How can you not love a video that starts with the subway train?
The screeching sound of the subway train is the best part.
The production on this track is ridiculously good. Best listened to with headphones on, guaranteed you'll hear something new everytime
one of my favourite songs of all time....and I'm old!
Aye. If you cannot listen with headphones on your tablet or Smartphone, then it's better to wait until you can.
so true!

Es que ellos hacen unos sonidos espectaculares
Nick Rhodes just looks utterly gorgeous here!
the beautiful dark side of Duran Duran........ and to this day still love it
No dark side. I use this to kick off every summer since 86. Pull my shirt off and pray!!!
Not Duran Duran
That is so brilliant an observation. I was trying to figure out why this was so "different". Also I had no idea that Nick Rhodes wrote "Too Shy" for Kajagoogo.

Scott you are right
No rio is
Duran Duran with a Dark touch..... I'm in.
The Gothic side of Duran Duran
Nick Rhodes was and still is the heart of Duran Duran. He's the only member together with Simon, wo never leaved. He's so precious.
SAY IT LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!
is precious another word for hot hot hot even now
John and Nick were the founding members of Duran Duran.
Nick!!!
What a masterpiece of video art!
I love Simon and Nick with black hair!!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh hell yeah. Every time I think of changing my black hair, I literally think of this video and think nope. Im good. They remind me of beautiful vampires. ❤
Goosebumps all over, still in 2022. This song is insane...
Isn't it??
2023 ❤
2024❤
Get in this time machine, we're going back to the 80's whether you like it or not
take me with you
Went to Tampa about yrs ago for D2 concert we all lost our minds
the 80's rule it's my decade
Still in the the machine 2024
DD was such a good group that when they split in two they were still two hit groups. Didn't drop a stitch.
This lot were a bit better than The Power Station, though.
@@trebleking1641
Arcadia did more songs, but I love the power station too.
DD forever! ❤
The supreme epitome of 80s sophistication, excess, and decadence, wrapped deliciously in this stunning track...🤗💋
...it still holds up beautifully... if you look up the gay artist ...JEAN COCTEAU... you will see that this video references him a lot...especially his movie...BEAUTY AND THE BEAST !!!
Well described!
Man! I wish They still made shit like this today :(

This album had a great line-up as well. Grace Jones, David Gilmore, Sting. It's a true classic. You really need to hear it from beginning to end.
Michael Huff Thanks. Good looking out.
Yess
The sound on this one is out of this world
And Herbie Hancock
That was Grace Jones ?!?! I thought I was hallucinating
Simon Nick Roger John Andy, I'm still obsessed with everything they do, they got me through my rough childhood. My love for them is eternal.
Don't forget Roger Taylor, Arcadia was a three piece group! I know he not in the video cause he was the "shy and quiet" one.
I Didn't leave Roger out, I'm well aware of all their Art
Fuck - I miss the 80's.
That was the best time ans so I miss the 80s.Let´s go into the past...that would be so amazing:D

+BIG AL ONE Don't we all? One of the greatest if not the greatest decade of music ever.
I really do
Riding in Pablo's armoured jeep was a thrill ride and a half.
One of the most original pieces of music ever. Pure genius.
Duran Duran was awesome, Power Station was super awesome, Arcadia was epic!
YEAH, No other band did anything like this or get killer hits with catchy lines, tunes....😮😮
Just oozes class. Magnificent
43 years old and convinced this to is another beautifully-jewel amazing extraordinary top song. Anything else?

Great info
Yes but Andy wasn’t part of Arcadia..John was..Andy and also John did The Power Station at this time.
Robin Lyn21 um yes John helped out on Arcadia but wasn’t listed, he was torn between bands. He’s in the video for The Flame
It wouldn't have been what it was if Andy was in it fucking everything up
Ha! I watched a video about forgotten 80s songs and it was this. My comment was " damn they trying to rip of Duran Duran".
How in the hell did I miss this???
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!
80's masterpiece... music, art, film... brilliant.
Duran Duran/Arcadia videos were always highbrow and artsy. Love that.
I love Arcadia! When it first came out on MTV it was like feeling elated, life seem a dream come true, poetry turned nasty and wicked! Divine Indeed!
I love it, it's like one big long Obsession cologne commercial!
Usually, the ads copied the successful music videos. And remember, commercials were made by many of the same directors who made the music videos. It was good money those days. Probably still is, more so.

EPIC ----love simon's vocals on this
A beautiful masterpiece of visual brilliance & instrumental vocal opulence!

Wow yes! Love that new wave walk! And it's like how you dance to this song, there's no other way!
Also must say they were the masters of video. Mini stories in everyone of their videos.
