I turned 63 today and I am setting alone in my small apartment listening to this and truly feeling the heartache of getting old in a world that does not care for anything more than youth and money. It all passes so quickly. One day you're 16 and the world is bright and shiny and new and the next it is all old and broken and will never be fixed! Thank you for this song for my birthday!
Happy Birthday, Mate ;) Greetings.
@@1981Marine Thanks! It can really feel lonely sometimes. I have had to start my life over and at 63 it is very difficult for me.
@@Arsinio1973 Thanks! A kind word is sometimes all it takes to make it an happy day!
i turned 63 a couple of months ago.... you perfectly expressed my feelings as well.
it all goes by too fast.
I hope you had a lovely birthday! And I think there are a lot of us out here feeling the same way. I hope this year brings you great things.
I love this song. Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys never sounded better.
I'm 52 years old. The Earth has been spinning for millions of years, and I got to live on it at the same time as The Pet Shop Boys. And my life is ever the richer for it.
and many others who are no longer with us.People like Shane McGowan and Mark Hollis
Very well said, and true. (52 here too.) I fell in love with them via "Suburbia" in the summer of 1986 and I've been hooked ever since.
I'm 52 years old too. In the last few years my research into ancient and modern cosmology, ancient languages (particularly Hebrew and Greek), occult symbolism and secret societies, and plasma physics has led me to the conclusion that Earth is not spinning or moving at all and is a little over 6,000 years old.
@@SSa12406 Do you have the evidence to back up your claims? That's all that counts, the only thing that counts. If so, I would encourage you to share your findings with the global Scientific community and collect your Nobel Prize.
@@IMissedChurchForThis The Michelson-Morley, Michelson-Gale, Sagnac Effect, and Airy's Failure experiments all proved that Earth is stationary. Then, along came the fuzzy-haired crackpot Einstein with his bogus equations to obfuscate the proof. WMAP also proved geocentrism. The problem is, the scientific community is mostly
1. controlled by the ancient mystery religion who know the truth but promote a lie (heliocentrism/gravity/relativity). This includes NASA.
2. blinded by the influence of those lies.
There are no lies in the inspired Scriptures and they reveal geocentrism and the true nature of the cosmos within the languages used (Hebrew and Greek). For example, Amos 9:6 describes the cosmos as a multi-layered torus formed from electromagnetic "bands" (Hebrew: _aguddah_). Genesis 8:2 describes those bands as forming a lattice (Hebrew: _arubbah_). You can get an idea of this magnetic lattice structure with a homemade ferrocell and a magnet. The sun, moon, and stars are all contained within that torus which is generated by Earth's electromagnetic core. It rotates once per day. The entire universe is electromagnetic. There is no gravity.
The Scriptures also reveal that this powerful ancient secret society also control governments and empires, past and present, which includes their scientific communities. (Revelation 17:9)
In addition, the ancient occult fleur-de-lis symbol and the Egyptian djed pillar represent the backbone of that torus. You can see the symbol everywhere you go, including on and in ancient religious and government buildings, and even on railings and ironworks at the end of people's driveways and roofs, sometimes with the solar cross integrated.
The man who invented gravity, Isaac Newton, was an occultist who was Grand Master of a secret society known as the Priory of Sion. Their emblem is, in part, the fleur-de-lis.
I have created videos revealing this knowledge and I also present more evidence in my Quora science Space. Believe me, this knowledge will soon be validated. (Daniel 12:4) Then I will receive my "Nobel Prize" from my nobel God who sent me to restore all these things and to bring light to all nations. (Matthew 17:11; Isaiah 49:5,6)
As I can see I am not the only one who was getting older. Love you guys.
I'm a fan of both Soft Cell and PSB. I'm 57. Been a fan since the 80s. Thanks gang.
A song about growing old...which is happening way sooner than I thought.
Cheers to all of you who grew up with their music.
🥂
Great comment. Love
I’m in my late 30s now. I am also getting old. Sucks…
I'm in early 40's. I grew up with their music! Proud of
getting old!
Is "purple zone" an expression?
Wait until you're 50...
Life is so short Enjoy every day.
My wife and my favourite artists together. Wonderful.
The last song before she sadly passed away. Rest in peace my love. Miss you so much
This would have been a massive hit if it had been recorded in the late 80's....
I'm only 32, but I wonder sometimes where life went.
To everyone who's +50. I wish you blessings and happiness
listen to pink floyd time
Thankyou hope u making the best of it.
Good times to reflect on with your family
Considering I originally got into Pet Shop Boys back in 1986 because they were the nearest thing I could find to Soft Cell after Soft Cell disbanded in 1984, this is a simultaneously curious and very welcome convergence :)
@@TheEmptytube If I'm honest, I'm oddly unmoved by anything I've heard from the forthcoming album so far. But I have it on pre-order and remain quietly hopeful because I always liked the "album tracks" more than the singles with Soft Cell :)
@@blatherskite3009 a
OMG! What a beautiful surprise! It sounds great though strange at a 1st glance! Marc seems to be in a good place regardless it has passed nearly 40 years since Soft Cell's prime!
@@SmartRobot-wc2fb I find it to be dull soulless dance music
Great to see video , were have all those years gone.
Heard this song on Great BBC Radio 2 Steve Wright, US radio is Mostly crap. So if reading this in USA ,check out real radio station that plays great music ,like this , just connect with Alexa or on the net.
Can’t wait!!! Remember Neil Tennant reviewing Soft Cell when he worked for Smash Hits! Followed Marc for years ..
Chill Music 2022 th-cam.com/video/UJ2emjYDjuw/w-d-xo.html
At the time, Neill Tennant was very against drum machine, instead of a drum player,
He put Culture Club down in Smash Hits magerzine for using drum machine, s & 6 months on the
Pet Shop boys,
Who's using drum machine now !!!!
Hey you!... I think you're gonna like it! ... I don't think the majority will appreciate the hidden meaning, but a future classic for sure!
I like it. I really do.😘
@@joeparker5733 curious about that hidden meaning, myself.
It is a song about getting old.But how could you get old just listening to this song.
Thanks for filming in the Kingfisher. Great song.!
Beautiful song
I am 75 years old and after all the doom and gloom what a brilliant song, brings back many memories, Soft Cell and PSB at their best, can't wait to get the Album.
Keep dancing to PSB and SOFT CELL
Its called suicide.. look into it..
Love it too good on you xx
Your so right I'm 55 and hearing this brings me back to great times enjoy x
Red letter day meets always on my mind
Remember and cherish the young and old we left behind 🙏🏼
The Punk has a bag from the Kwiky! Quality!!
I turned 35 this year. Yes, I'm still young, but as I look back, I remember being excited about turning 18. Now I'm less than 5 years away from 40. It was just as if I turned 18 yesterday. Where on earth did the time go off to?
Chris Lowe and Dave Ball were both born in 1959 in Blackpool and went to school together, so it was an old friends reunion.
I have traveled the world. I will turn 56. I remember dancing as a teenager to softcell in Los Angeles. Travel the world. It stretches life out to be much longer. Instead of living in the same city. Working the same job. Accept less money and less things to see the world!! It’s incredible!! If your young and reading this. Travel. Travel. Travel.
Soft cell and pet shop boys! What more could you want! Love it 🎉🎉
The more I listen to this, the harder it hits
What a collaboration, SOFT CELL, PET SHOP BOYS. Two of my favorited bands of the 80s.
What's not to like here? Two of the best groups of the 80's combine here.....
The song and the video remind of how wonderful humans can be ...thank you boys and girls ,....from 1985 or 2023
"Always On My Mind" meets "Go West". Nice!
Exactly what I'm thinking!
A men's choir would have been the cherry of the cake.
@@winterland2011 lleva coristas la canción,
@@juanjosecasafranca5725 Coro a lo "ON SOCIAL MEDIA".. Y con menos bpms, ésta canción tendría otro sonido, en mi opinión, más auténtico.
Totally agree!
I'm 55 now.. a gothy punk.. wouldn't change a thing about my past music wise..
Love SOFT CELL & PSB 🎵
The interesting mix of people in the video is so cool. The lady in the pink dress when she makes eye contact with the camera at 1:55! Her eyes are captivating! The punk lady is very beautiful too.
Song of the year.
I'm 55 so was partying in the eighties. Soooo uplifted by a classic electro pop song from the best in the business. Perfectly timed to lift the heart and bring back happy memories. Thanks boys, an inspiration as you have always been.
I'm 55 too.
Iam 43 feeling 20 love you mate
I'm 55, but I now realize that I listened to these soul-sucking kreeps in the '80s because they had some Kool sounds
Now, @ 55, I just realized that these 'guys' have run outta dough & are trying to steal it from people who might be struggling later in their lives.
Hey Pet Shop'Boys & Soft-Cell...go FFF yourselves. 😀
Me too
You said it best. I'm 56
This is practically perfect! Why is this not a no. 1 hit? If it were the 80s or 90s I bet it would have been.
Yes, it is 2022, young people don't react to people who are almost 70. Get used to it.
Disrespectful comment, how dare you.
@@ghosthroughx9292 Sadly it's true. These legends are still making FANTASTIC music and all young people care about is Tick and Tock and whatever plastic manufactured-bullshit pop tune. That's OK these guys have nothing to prove to anyone. We know that they are amazing and killing it at 70!
@@jensstickan168not only that, but I also felt that the Pet Shop Boys lost the popularity and interest from the people around late 90s, when the both Pet Shop Boys members turned into 40s.
Disgraceful to make such a comment. But what else to expect in a world losing empathy for others!
Just live in the moment that reminds you of happiness. 1987. Lol
С новым годом!!!
Wow this is LEGENDARY.... a total bop, flashback to their 80s hits... love it!!
How is it a flashback to their 80's hits? Just curious.
@@lxworld i.e. It's been done in "that style"....So it's a sort of flashback/paying homage....
The orchestra hits from Always on my mind are in Purple Zone. Other chords, obviously.
wow their voices work so well together!!
I'm 23 and seeing all the comments made me see the song with another meaning, I became sensitive to knowing that life is ephemeral for everyone and at some point we have all felt afraid of life no matter the age.
A hug to everyone and let's enjoy this great song!
Thank you for everything you,ve ever produced Neil, Chris, David and Marc ❤
What a brilliant song and video, bringing together two of my favourite groups.
I’ve just turned 55 so this song rings true for me. I reflect on my youth clubbing in the 80’s with not a care in the world. So very different to today, as I struggle with growing older and the many difficulties it brings (I now have early onset dementia).
Thanks Marc, Dave, Neil and Chris for such a brilliant thought provoking song.
Yep the 80’s clubbing …great memories.
Stay strong 💪
I am 55 as well Robert. Brilliant groups collaborating. Stay strong 👍
Magnificent
That’s dreadful! I pray that you’re ok!🙏♥️
Soft Cell _AND_ Pet Shop Boys in the same song? Hell yeah! I still crank up the radio whenever 'Tainted Love' or 'West End Girls' comes on.
Brilliant song.
One minute, it was the 80s, and then, in a blink of eye, it's 2023.
Sad in one way as you've got less years in front of you, but wouldn't change a thing.
What a great era I was part of.
Big fan of the PSB, this is a cheery song in a strange way, just what we need in todays environment!!
Nice video, and nice amazin' song!
Fantastic song and video! Love that moment when Chris is having a bit of a boogie and Neil is almost? laughing.
Love it. Soft Cell and PSB. Off to see PSB in May this year (finally it's happening!). Great song, cheerful, love the lyrics. Wish we were still in the 80's but life must go forward. Great music by talented artists.

10:30 started listening now 10:50pm
Still am
Absolutely stunning amazing ❤️💕
I saw Marc Almond live just before COVID. Well worth seeing.
Me too in Manchester
I’m seeing them in may too
In such bad times .. a blink of light .. brighter than the Sun ....
Great Song of two of the Iconic Acts of the 80s .... and now i have since 8 Hours a catchy tune ...... Love Marc and Neil singing together. More of this please
Seeing such great pillars of the 1980's music world always takes me back to the 1980's as I refuse to get older and will exercise, stay fit and on edge for life!
Great Colaboration
Congratulacion !!!
Merry Christmas
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Buenas vibras
Love&Paece
One of the best new oldie in 2025 for me!!
ВЫ ЛУЧШИЕ!!!!!!!
What a collaboration! This is the sort of music we hv waited years for!!!!
I've been a massive fan of Pet Shop Boys since the 1980s and this is the single I've been waiting for for 25 years! I can't get enough of it.
Incredible how after 40 years Neil's voice still sounds the same. I could listen to him every waking minute.
That's just porno for pyros
We all lives in the purple zone!
I am exploring it, decades after decades, still the same but different at the same time.
Catchy. Nice to see Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys together
Two of my absolute faves of all time and legends of the game collaborating. Sensational. Cannot wait!!!
Chill Music 2022 th-cam.com/video/UJ2emjYDjuw/w-d-xo.html
Agree!
Absolutely, they were brilliant in the eighties.
Agree
This is the ultimate testament of the 80ies/90ies. Let's listen to it! ❤
OMG Never knew this song was even made...Chris lived on our street in Blackpool...A true Lasher ...
i love this song. Only just come across it . Its brill
This videoa shows what I love about London. The eccentricity, the grittiness and those wonderful people. Was living in Tooting-Bec, Soho and Mile End 1996-2005 and it was marvellous. The small shops, little cafe in Soho and greasy spoon in Leytonstone. All gone now. Strangely the video is so nostalgic and pulls certain strings in my mind...love it! Marc's voice is still so magic btw
Made me cry for some reason... that's what good music does :)
I can relate
It has a melancholic vibe to it like most happy music has, it's not that uncommon to have one that makes one melancholic.
So did I, With a big smile.
I'm crying
Me too
I cannot wait for this album! My love for this band is as ardent now as it was in 1981 when I first heard Memorabilia.
...in Torremolinos?
It's available on torrent sites already, albeit without this Pet Shop Boys duet.
sleaze and sex dwarf are a couple of my favourite of marcs songs.
Chill Music 2022 th-cam.com/video/UJ2emjYDjuw/w-d-xo.html
My favorite one is “Tainted Love” and “Where Did Our Love Go.”
Love it, synth stabs behind the chorus remind me of always on my mind
Listening to this suddenly makes me feel younger, I don't want to spoil it by looking in the mirror!
Such a great tune. I'll be 60 next year, and have no idea where the time has gone. It's frightening, really. I first started listening to Soft Cell in 1981, when I was 18. I still love their music.
A favourite track of theirs is also about aging: it's the achingly sad 'Youth' from 'Non Stop Erotic Cabaret'. It gets more real the older I get, I have found.
I get you am 60 in nov 😁
Youth... Beauty is skindeep...
My favourite track of theirs is still "Sex Dwarf" (the "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret" version).
I'm just a few years younger, I was the kid who dyed their hair black in my parents peach bathroom in the 1980s (that was a bit of a to do I can tell you!) back combing it as I smoked a marlboro red at my open bedroom window, burned patchouli and Sandalwood incense and played Siouxsie and the Banshees Juju cassette (and a Gothic mix tape from a friend) applying back eye liner (badly) and packing my black canvas bag with a sketch book, pencils, cassettes, batteries (for the boom box) cigarettes and a 2 litre bottle of cider. We may be getting older, but damn we have some insane and brilliant memories!
@@cocteaut - Apart from the cigarettes, me too!
I live in a rural part of the UK, and in the early 1980's, some of the inhabitants weren't blessed with much imagination - I was once refused service in a country pub, for the simple reason that I was wearing black nail polish. For some reason, that offended the landlord. No mention was made of my hair, or the bangles, or the eyeshadow. No. The nail polish really annoyed him. My friends and I had no trouble from the other drinkers in the pub - indeed, a few had a go at the landlord, when he refused to serve me.
Amazing, loved both of the bands in the 80s, loved their talent and their music. Just turned 57 recently and have been nostalgic listening to a lot of the 80s music recently and someone just recommended this to me on one of the comments I left. Oh wow, this is so amazing, still so good and enjoy it just as much as I have their stuff from before. Amazing, never heard this before and love it.
The older i get, the more appreciate the serenity of the wisdom ive gained. I love life, knowledge, conversation, food, and yes, even technology. I surround myself with both younger and older people, and i'm happy enough in my own situation. That of the world in general, i fear for.
Same here mate x
Almost 57 here, and I still love this music!
J am 63 YEARS. Still going strong Whit this Lovely song about all People in the World ❤Beijinhos Marie Sweden
Me too!
Great song, It tock me back to the great 80's time we lived, all the love to you both.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The 80's song that is forever in our hearts!
Two UK super talents who started way back in the 80s are still going on strong in 2022 with this poptastic single. Has elements of "Always on my mind" which I truly love. This will be coming out on CD single April 2022 and a 12" vinyl out November 2022.
Definitely. Oh and there's a 12" too!
@@LostwaveObsession NEVER MIND I JUST FOUND. WHY THE HELL IS NOT BEING RELEASED UNTIL NOVEMBER 2022??!! NINE MONTHS FROM NOW THAT IS CRAZY, THE CD MAXI IS COMING OUT APRIL 2022 AND DOWNLOAD IS OUT NOW. THIS IS NOT GOOD MARKETING IMO. ANYWAY I AM HAPPY ABOUT THE VINYL RELEASE.
@@garypamatat3167 It's crazy isn't it. I think the best thing will be is to order both separately because a 6-7 month wait for the cd (packing both together) would test my patience!
Where did you find this information? I want to pre-order the Cd single in April 2022.
@@d.sussenbach2646 at lexer music uk the cd maxi is there for pre sale at 7.00 gbp not including shipping. Have a great day.
I feel the same way 1983 was the best year of my life 😢
Im60 next year..great song..and the 80s will never fade..youngsters now love these songs! My niece is 22 and said I love 80s music! New music is crap..tells me alot! Enjoy!
This song is brilliant.
I nearly cried when I found out about this. Just wonderful!! Soft Cell and PSB, I just can’t express my excitement and emotions on this.
This has been a dream since 1986 for me.
I've cried! Sooo deeply, oooh my feelings!
@@IvanGarcia-ud2np it’s a wonderful moment in pop music, right?
@@ThecrackpotdadPlus absolutely! And im happy for you, dream comes true!
@@IvanGarcia-ud2np thank you :).
I immediatly recognize Chris Lowe's synths sound. Undeniable and so unique
Just subscribed 👍👍👍
Chris’s fingerprints are all over this wonderful comeback💛
It is a pity he is peddling those evil face masks. The rest of the video is charming except for the sinister face mask part which is totally wicked evil and unnecessary.
OMG one of my all time favorite bands from the 80's. I can't believe they did a collab! I must be dreaming. 😭😭😭 We need more of this!! 💜💜💜💜
No we don't!
I hate these people!
Great song from the pet shop boys and soft cell and great video as well and also sofe cell and the pet shop boys should have profamce this live on top of the pops in the 1980st in the UK and this needs to be played on bbc radio 1 and 2
To see two of my favorite musical groups who are not much older than I making Fabulous New Music, I doff my cap to them! I am honored to have shared the decades with them.
Age is just a number. Its all about state of mind. I am and always will be an unapologetic child of the 80s, so this song is brilliant as far as I am concerned. Keep on dancing!
This song gives me "always on my mind" vibes
Best song i ever heard,for many years back.Masterpiece deluxe
catchy
PSB joined forces with some great acts over the years,,, great song.
Incroyable cette union artistique pour notre plus grand plaisir
Such a great track, Classic PSB sound
Love this song from very talented people. Thanks Soft Cell and The Pet shop boys 👍🙂
Another great song by the Boys... they still know how to make em they way they always did... long live Neil & Chris (and Marc).
This is Awesome, the 2 Greats together Soft Cell and. PET Shop boys . WoW 🙂💞🌠🌻❤️🎵
This gives me Always On My Mind and I Feel Love vides. Love it, well done guys!
I thought the same thing. I love it!
Right!
Yes reminds me of Always on my Mind
th-cam.com/video/h26WblQxaz8/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like classic Pet Shop Boys pop. No more, no less.
I agree. Can't hear much Soft Cell in there to be honest.
And that's a good thing.
Yes. The same vibes as "Always on my mind"..
So true bestie
@@jfkoetse Almost exactly the same basic track reused. A bit lazy...
Wonderful rousing song which Soft Cell played during their recent tour. The audience loved it.
This is hot.
Waited 40 years for this, and finally it happened!!
WONDERFUL!!! This is the single of the year, and the decade.
...i was a teen in the 80's...turn 50 this year...i was still like back in the days...still got my hopes 'n dreams...after being a soldier 'n a pile of shit that i've been going through i was still full of energy...after this...i think this is called...a song maybe...all i wanna do is close my eyes forever so that i can forget this noise and those pictures...pure horror...damn
Hey there I get exactly what you are saying mu love x
4 great artists. A winner.
Hello everyone!
This year on my birthday I felt much better about my life and I owe a lot of my feeling better to the almost nonstop outpouring of love from all the kind and thoughtful people on TH-cam!
This year my niece and I drove something like ten hours to go to Chicago on the 5th of April to see "Depech Mode" for my birthday! Great concert and had a wonderful time in Chicago!
I had not been to Chicago in 40 years! It has changed so much!
Thanks so very much to "Soft Cell" and the "Pet Shop Boys" for this great song and video. It is as if they have read our hearts and minds and recorded it for us to all ponder!
Much Love to All!
