This is more than just a legendary pop anthem.
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.
Privilégio ter pet shop Boys em nossas vidas
@Vangelis Provias: Your comment is an excellent summary of how I feel about this song!😊
in 4 lines you said everything, I could not agree more
Hits even harder when you know what it's actually about- the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 80s and all the people who lost loved ones, friends and family.
❤
I was 25 in 1990 when this song came out and when I came out of the closet. It was such an exciting and yet terrifying time. I am pushing 60 now, and I still cry like a baby for all the friends who are missing from that time whenever I hear this anthem. 😥😥😥😥😥😥
Miss those years pet shop boys my music therapy 🤗❤️
Have you heard the 2024 remix from furthermore ? Neil speaks the opening message during the track
❤
I was 10 and this song was sound track of a Brazilian soap opera called Meu Bem, Meu Mal (literally, My Good, My Evil) and this and others 2 tracks made me ask to my mother to by the long play (LP) of the international sound track
"Behaviour" was the first adult music album I ever had. I bought a cassette tape and would listen to it non-stop on my Walkman. I was 13 years old at the time. I remember these songs accompanying me, especially in the backseat of my parents' car. I didn't understand much of the lyrics back then, but the rhythm enchanted me. And "Being Boring" instantly became my favorite pop song. It remains in that place until today. Nowadays, I can also grasp the depth of the lyrics. It's always a great experience to listen to the music (and also watch the music video). Thank you PSB for that! :)❤
Yo es primera vez que la oigo.
“Bahaviour” represents the Pet Shop Boys maturity
Love this! I always say that "Please" was my first adult tape that I ever bought. Pethead for life ❤️
@@Aldrinizka.Teilaetxea un clásico de los 90's y de los psb
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏
After many years I realize how incredible and wonderful this song is.
Exactly ❤
Me, too. I rediscovered it just a few weeks ago. Was a big fan in the late-80s / early 90s.
One song guaranteed to bring tears to my eyes. "All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing." That was my life then.
This song is an elegy to youth, love and life, the closest a pop song can come to philosophy, a timeless pop masterpiece.
This song is:
- Pop perfection
- Songwriting perfection
- A feeling, a mood, a moment, a lifetime
- History
- Amazing
And the video is also a masterpiece.
One of their best. An elegy for those who didn’t survive AIDS. And a broader reminder to live all our lives as well and as memorably as we can🙌🏻
I love your comment love it.
Wait AIDS?
Yes, exactly. It's relatable for everyone in that scene and particular moment in time but it's also relatable to everyone who has a beating heart. A true masterpiece.
@@jonathancastro84873:05 This part of the song specifically refers to the AIDS crisis.
@@coupleofbeers31 OMG I never realized that
Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe achieved something very rare in a song: Turn an optimistic sound into a very sad lyric content. "Being Boring" is timeless and magníficent.
they trying to duplicate 'I Should Be So Lucky'. this no joke. they themself told about it. they wanna change of chords like in Kylie Minogue SAW song
This is my favorite song ever, but i don't listen to it very often because I can't help crying every single time I do it
The same
Absolutely
One of the most perfect songs ever made. No argue in that.
I think Being Boring is the best song ever written. Not saying by the Pet Shop Boys, but by anyone. Still to this day it is my favorite song of all time. Such a classic.
Strange, this beautiful song reminds me of very special people I have lost, but stirs up memories full of joy remembering the fun we had--never being boring. Instead of sadness, these great memories bring me solace. Till we meet again my departed friends. ❤❤❤
this is exactly how I feel
@@azpaule6739 LIKEWISE
A defining moment for the Pet Shop Boys. A masterpiece
A true masterpiece. It brings back so many memories when I hear it !!!
Agreed!
Да,друзья,это лучший видеоряд на лучшую песню. Простите, но это непревзойдённый шедевр Pet Shop Boys
One of my favourite songs of all time for bittersweet reasons, as kids my best mate and I used to ride to the airport to watch the planes, other kids said we were boring. His mum loved PSB as well as me. He lost his battle with Leukaemia at 17.
I was 14 when this was released. I had this on cassette. I loved this album. It was 1990. The future seemed so bright and full of opportunity. It really was the peak of our civilization. The 1990s were it. The culmination of the 1900s. It was all boiled down to that final decade. Everything was there. Rock, rap, hippies, goth, metal. Freedom, the end of communism, liberalism, the opening of the world to travelling en masse. It really was the best. And we completely fucked it up. We had it in the palm of our hands and let it slip away. We need to find that again. Peace yall. Never stop dancing, especially if you are 14.
Wise words 👍🏼👍🏼
A fantastic classic Pet shop boys song. One of my favourites.
This song never dies! Through generations!
I was 22 when this song -, it made me feel better ❤
Me to
I had this album on cassette tape back in the 80's, and listened to it regularly on my Sony walkman and boom box. I was 15 at the time. No one in school liked the same music I did. I agree with lots of the other commenters here. Thank you.
Me to
A timeless masterpiece 🎶🎶 maybe the best song the Pet Shop Boys have written so far 🎶
for me the best is it´s a sin
@jmoralesv03 I agree
My favorite PSB video! Pet Shop Boys + Bruce Weber, when life was free and glamorous.
Being Boring es la mejor canción que puede existir de Pet Shop Boys la voz Y tono de Neil es espectacular tiene una seriedad y elegancia nadie como Pet Shop Boys son Únicos
Completamente de acuerdo! Yo soy fan de hueso colorado de los PSB y aunque tienen muchísimas buenas canciones, los verdaderos fans reconocen a Being Boring como una de sus obras maestras! Salud por la mejor canción de su repertorio!
Es poca gente la que comprende esta cancion... realmente es una joya de Pet Shop Boys que quizas nunca se repita tal obra maestra con los artistas de hoy en dia; agradecido de que exista esta canción
Pet shop boys and bruce webers master piece
Funny how this is such a nostalgic, introspective song but the video is anything but, and they work together perfectly. The models. The dancing. The dog. Each scene more breathtaking than the next. I have mixed feelings about B.W., but this video is an absolute visual masterpiece. I've been a Pethead since 1986 and the release of West End Girls, but this song always has been, and always will be, my favorite. Thank you PSB. I cannot put in to words how much you've impacted my life.
Concordo plenamente com você ❤
Brilliant analysis.
incredible song - they closed their gigs with this song on the unity tour in 2022 - and its such an uplifting and emotional song. so happy to see them on stage singing this and Neil singing you can always rely on a friend and walking off stage with chris,
Just so COOL in every single way.
Ich hab mich damals von einem Radiowecker Wecken lassen.....es lief BEING BORING und es kam mir wie ein Traum vor. Großartig!!! Der Moment der mich zum Pet Shop Boys Fan werden ließ. Endgültig. Durch alle Zeit, Raum und Ewigkeit. ❤
This was the album that first got me into the PSB. They’re still my favorite band and I’ve been lucky enough to meet them twice!❤
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 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 being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
❤❤❤❤
Hopefully The Uncensored Version This Time!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Yes, there is !!
This is the greatest pop song ever written and it's not even the greatest Pet Shop Boys song.
One of my very favorite song,
allways bring me back to the 90s when i was in my 20's..
thank you PSB for the music
This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Problably this is the very most Pet Shop Boys masterpiece.
Musically,lyrically and video “Being boring” is Pet shop boys masterpiece...one of the greatest pop songs ever.
Pet shop boys was my first proper love favorite band. I worshiped the ground she walked on we. Loved listening to them. Then one day for no reason she left leaving me devastated. I'm 56 now still like pet shop boys but it's a reminder of a magical time but also a very hurtful time. Suppose it's best to live and lost than not loved at all 😔
I have many favorite songs and whenever I hear them I get really thrilled... After 33 years of new favorite songs though, Being Boring remains the best pop song ever released and this is confirmed each time I hear/watch it... Thanx PSB!
The most incredible song ever written
The most beautiful music video ever! I wanna be that young again. Jut for a day. Or for a week.
❤❤❤A modern pop poem, wisdom for life, a truly masterpiece .
.. These guys are never boring 100 % absolutely fantastic ❤❤
This song and video is pure heaven.
So artistic and well produced video, I used to Burst into tears😭 nostalgia
I do not know why? But this is the song I've been humming 🎵 the most... 90's ❤
Masterpiece👍💯❤
This is a absolute Masterpiece ! A Classic One.....and for me the Best PSB Song ever released !
Now the video is complete and beautiful!!! Thank you!!! What a masterpiece!!!
Yes the old intro... with zebra and dog. 🙂 Thank you, PET Shop Boys!
How could you be bored with music and videos like this!!
Strange to think that all these fresh young people in the video must be almost in their 60s now
Time run out for everyone
A pop masterpiece
*Nice.* The squeaky wheel gets the grease LOL! I was complaining
about the intro being edited out of the upgrade version and now
that has been rectified! _YAY!_ 🦓
_This song gains more meaning the older I get..._
I stumbled to this song few days ago, I can't believe I never heard it before (maybe heard it but never really pay attention). Thank you for creating this wonderful song guys! Being born in the late 70's the lyric hits hard and I loved it so much. Thanks for all the great songs! Bless you both.
Fantastic timeless music.
Super Lied. 👍 Text, Melodie, Gesang sind alles in allem supi
I have loved this song and that album from the moment I first heard it. This is the first time I’ve seen the video, though. Bruce Weber directed, of course. It’s beautiful. I’m so glad I’m finally allowed to see it here in America. ❤
you didn't allowed to see non upgraded original video which have been on YT for more than 10 years?
I have to say this must be the best song from PSB lyrics are truly amazing I listen to this and it takes me back to my fun days I just love love love it. Thank u PSB ❤❤❤
I listened this song more than 1 thousand times and it is by great margin my most played number 1 song in my phone.
I love this band❤🇨🇺Icon of my generation🇨🇺how many memories of my Habana🇨🇺
Best song of the 90's. And an iconic video directed by Bruce Weber.
This isn't my favorite PSB song, but I agree that it's their masterpiece.
Great song, amazing video......!!!!!!!!
Stunningly beautiful evocative song ‘of the times’. Can listen over and over, never tiring. JPMusic
This is the the best (NOT one of) track ever created by PSB. Thanks Neil & Chris for making the music for our times!
One of my favorite songs from the boys. Only 4 weeks to go until I see them live again. 🎉
One of the best tracks from their back catalogue...I grew up listening to the band in the 80's/90's and they always put out great tracks to keep you hooked.
The best musiciens of the 80 y 90
One of the best of Pet Shop Boys!
Listening to PET SHOP BOYS 🎵🎶
We are GREAT ✨💥⚡🌟
Never bored.
Música perfeita, video perfeito ❤
A garota da banheira é a Luiza Brunet!!!
This version is the best, beautiful video for a beautiful song!
Such an iconic ground breaking band. It's a risqué video for the time in which it was written bit its tasteful and beautifully put together and tells story. It blends beautifully with the music with the wonderful harmonies and minor keys giving it that sadness and feeling of emptiness . Genius!
Such an iconic song .
PSB 🥰
I'd have no problem stating that as songwriters, Tennant and Lowe never did any better than this. And they achieved the greatness reserved for duos like Lennon and McCartney in the process.
I'd have no problem, either, if someone said this song equals anything ever done by The Beatles. As a matter of fact, I believe it.
Passion, emotion, love, sadness, contemplation. This song has it all.
This song resonates so much with me. I adore it. Its lyrics are beautiful. The amazing video is perfect. Thank you PSB.
Best, most beautiful party in history!
Masterpiece!!!
All the people I was kissing..some are here and some are missing - that line cuts deeper every year that goes by.
Indeed it does
Just beautiful,touching and inspiring 🙏
Best song ever
All the memories
They Are Masters Of Sound Imaging.
This Is Pure Pop Art.🎨🎨🎨
It's perfect.
We still love you.Thank you.❤
La canción que va a sonar en mi funeral:
Gracias por tanto, espero vengan pronto a México, muero por escucharla en vivo una vez mas!
Também queria, concordo, essa música e maravilhosa demais 😍
Si, esperemos regresen pronto a MX!
Tendrás conocimiento si existe la posibilidad de que con esta gira tengan planes para venir a México? Por qué creo que pinta que no vendrán...... ojalá nos den una sorpresa 🇲🇽 Viva México
pues si vinieron para el corona capital !!
I used to listen to this when I was about 10, 11, and I felt nostalgic despite not having really "lived". I am now 41 and somehow I get the same feeling I got when I was 11, but I also get a completely new feeling.
This video just perfectly captures what it was like to be a teenager back in the early 90s.
Every face in this clip is a mirror of someone I knew and was close to.
Some I still see. Others I've lost contact with.
Friends come and go.
But, you always carry them in your heart.
Amazing memories.
Still my absolute favourite PSB song. DIVINE 🥰
❤ this song so much. Brilliant video too. Ahh memories 😂
As músicas do Pet shop Boys me trasporta para outro mundo ! Não sei explicar.
Acontece o mesmo comigo.
Realmente, até seus clipes são bem feitos e bem bolados. Diferentes! muito bom
This brings back so many memories. We rented a huge apartment on the English South Coast, and this song inspired some of our parties. We weren’t wealthy but dressed up and played the part. We didn’t have a care in the world.
what a powerful message... I love this song so much
Such Beauty x
I love this clip!
Pet Shop Boys FOREVER.... 🇧🇷
I always loved this song, so subtle, so timeless. Beautiful video, too. ❤
This video! Forever captures a moment in time for me of joy, fear and youth.
Having lost a close friend almost ten years ago, this song has taken on a deeper meaning.
The video was directed by famous photographer Bruce Weber on Long Island.
