Bought the album yesterday and my wife dismissed it as a frivolous purchase. After putting it in our computer to play, she immediately responded to the first track saying it was "interesting." Now she loves the song and the album.
For me this is one of those songs that just resonates deeply. Mournful and uplifting especially towards the end. Been a Duran Duran fan since 83 and am impressed that I can still be moved by their music 32 years later.
Me too!! Saw them for the tour of this album twice and I still love them today after more than 30 years.
@@priscillasantos8400 Awesome! : )
I cannot stop listening to this. This band consistently stays relevant and fresh with each release. I never get excited or moved by even some of my favorite artists releasing new albums anymore, but Duran never fails to get me. This song is beautiful. Listen to those chants, Simon's vocal coming in and the synth/drums dropping. Geezus! This album will be incredible. Thank you, DD.
😁Yep.
Jason Shepard you're smart and have great taste!
S Hammond song is awesome...
Jason Shepard love this played it 10 times now lol
Jason Shepard Yes it's a great piece of retro-contemporary electronica.
Simon LeBon's voice still brings tears to my eyes. Love you, Simon Le Bon !! So grateful to have you as a part of my life and to be a part of yours....
THIS song has more meaning now in 2020 with all of the crazy shit!
Saw them for the first time ever in my life. And I'm 18 so this was a huge deal for me to see such a huge 80s band when I am this age and they still tour! Never failed to keep me entertained! Love them and respect them even more now seeing them live! DD 🙌🏼
Lulubelle545 That's awesome! You and I both have great tastes in music. I have yet to see them tour and hopefully many other 80s artists :)
Your testimony is concrete. Solid. I seen them in 88. Notorious tour, Been listening to them since 82. Enjoy the third greatest band in rooks history.
40 years after their debut album and they still got it! Love them
Duran Duran's spectacular track, *Paper Gods,* deserves many more views and much more praise & adulation. This is absolutely one of my favourite Duran Duran songs ever.
Masterpiece!. This track is the another planet. Amazing!
It Is.
Nearly a million views and no comments, has this epic track left you all speechless????
Where in the world are we listening folks?
Sheffield . England ... 2020
Im listening. Southampton 2024!
It's art people; not everyone is going to stand next to a painting and see or feel the same thing. It's funny how a band, after 30+ years, expands their musical wings even further and gives us something a little different and out of the box and people complain that it doesn't sound like their "old stuff". The other thing that's funny is how someone posts on here that they like this new song and they get bashed by those who don't care for the song for having an opinion on it and expressing it. There are a couple of people who seem to be trolling the comments to do just that. It's a shame that people don't have anything better to do with their time. Btw, for the record, I really like this new song and it's 7+ minutes for a reason because of the artistic vision of the artist.
jpdeuce73 Thank you.

jpdeuce73 Excelente...
jpdeuce73 Well said. Odd it's almost taboo to some folks if others like what they don't. Thank goodness for creativity! :)
+jpdeuce73 Well said! Key word: It's art! They always bring something fresh & new. I love it! Applause for your comment!
Since the early 80's, they have been the soundtrack to my life. I love Duran Duran!
very profound song, master lyrics once again Mr. Le Bon!
Impresionante 👏👌👏❤️ amo este grupo desde el año 1984!!!!! Increíble sonido!!! Pasan los años y nos siguen sorprendiendo a los duranies!
After 35 years of greatness this amazing Band...Keep surprising me with amazing tracks.... Paper Gods is something new and fresh ... Something really WORTH IT FOR!!! Thanks .
LOVE Simon's voice in this - and the "paper cuts/paper gods" lyrics too!
This is the style of music I've always hoped they make. Really liking Paper Gods. Annoyed by people who are expecting
Hungry Like The Wolf 2.0.
THANK UUU!!!! :)
Paul Rini are there really any? I feel like Duran Duran has pretty much shed the casual fans long ago and any fan waiting on Paper Gods knows material like RCM and AYNIN and knows what to expect... or knows not to "expect" anything from DD. So far, the two songs I've heard have been completely unpredictable and I'm excited to see what else is on there.
Cyril agreed! This is their appeal to me. They don't keep putting out the same sound over and over.
Paul Rini Above else I like Duran''s experimental/ Indy aspect. This was more evident in their early work, but I really liked some of the stuff from last album too. Before the Rain is a good example. This song definitely has some of that experimental vibe about while still having pop elements...but avoids the mess that most tracks on the RCM album was/are.
Ashe Narayan I know, every band has them. Which is fine, they don't bother me. It's the fan that says "the only good albums are 1 and 2- the rest is crap! The band should have stopped years ago"- that's when I get ruffled feathers. Like, fine, you like that really shiny, 80s synth sound, and that's fine, but most of the bands best work has come in the latter two decades, so why should we fans who like their newer stuff suffer because they've evolved and you have not? (this could be true of any band that has existed for a period of time, not just DD)
I wasn't too sure when I first listen to it but after listening to it a few times...man!!! It's amazing song very classic album feel to it. We don't really hear tracks like this one now a day. I love it. Great Job Duran Duran I can't wait to hear what other goodies you have in store with this album.
wilsondvd They are even better live.
Has taken a few listens but now loving this song. Simons vocals mixed with the electronic beat really works. By far for me is the lyrics, totally sums up the society we have produced, live in and then complain about. Yes this has grown on me. well done boys.
To me this is the biggest departure from anything they have done. It's amazing. Good job guys!
Impressive that they made an album that sounds like a Duran Duran album... After all these years!!!
Duran Duran rocks. Best band ever. Fans in every country. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
I've been a loyal Duran Duran fan since I lived in U.K. and even since coming across the pond...their music is ethereal!!
Duran duran never repeat their albums that's the high risk they take but that is what makes them a very experimental and a different band which have no stylistic boundary.They can do the formula albums like u2 and others to gain commercial success but that's not what they are.Its hard to fit duran duran in one particular genre .That is the reason this band is still making albums and performing live in the arenas and stadiums .
They do have some reoccurring R&B DNA though :)
They have character and backbone yes and yet they make us fly and feel free so we can recreate ourselves like a trigger meditative state and look back at who are we people and go forward
U2 used to be experimental until after Pop didn't do as well as they wanted it to do. I thought Pop was one of their best and most different albums
Favorite song thus far on the album! Listened to it 12 times already! Lyrics couldn't echo society in this day in age more.Bravo DD!
Simon le Bon's voice, especially on the Paper Gods intro...wow :)
Magic, Sounds of the universe, thanks Nick Rhodes, thanks DURAN DURAN!!
Sounds of the Universe?...no that's a Depeche Mode album...not a very good one I might add. ;-)
+depecheddurand Am I the only person hoping for a collaboration between both Depeche Mode and Duran Duran?
+David McDonald that would be good. I heard Dave Gahan, say once in an interview he met Simon once who snubbed him or patronised him or something like that.
+Robert Bell What a dick. But they could match vocally very well. Dave being a baritone and Simon being a tenor. Think of the harmonies!
Duran should part y the cure
try not to listen to it for a couple days then listen again. this song is great . might not be a chart topper but for us loyal duran fans this is really special tx DD
Not a chart topper but really special. So how is it really special to the fans? Explain.
Best band ever they are always 10 years lights ahead
Duran Duran is my favourite band
I love Duran Duran they have a unique sound thank you for your music
Every single song on this album is truly a masterpiece and I am very proud that I was able to see them in concert last year! They are simply a part of my soul and they truly have been there for every part of my ups and downs!
Of all of these posts, hardly anyone is talking about how good this song ACTUALLY is.
I cant find anyone not talking about how good this is
Oh absolutely. Lots of meaning and substance....the real raw Duran sound
This a a great album duran duran at their finest.
Can already picture the scene, stage in darkness, intro to song playing, Duran taking their places, Paper Gods concert kicks off!
This was the opening number in Phoenix, which I had never heard before. *Really* good live.
I love this song, I cannot stop listening to it. It's so different but still retains the Duranness I've come to expect in their music. If the rest of the album is as good as this and Pressure Off, this is going to be one of the best fucking albums they've ever done!
Libby Hardel pressure off is, meh... kinda crappy. they didn't need that girl in there singing...
you kill me with silence is really good. it really reminds me of an up to date chauffeur.
this song is great. someone made a 4 minute version of it, and I think that it's better, and would be a good single version of the song.
Shira Brie totally agree with your opinions- ditto for me
Shira Brie I agree, they didn't need her and I don't really care for the oh oh oh oh part on that songs, Pressure off sounds great without it
Shira Brie I don't think any of the three songs are crappy, actually after all these many, many years I've never heard them do a crappy song. Are there songs I don't care for they've done? Sure, Pop Trash is full of them, but none of them are crappy. I'll have to listen to YKMWS again and think about The Chauffeur...see if I get the same vibe.
bohoboss The OH OH part is my favourite part!
Saw them last week, started with this track, brilliant as ever!!
Best Christmas present I've had getting this album! Last time I was this excited that a favorite 80s group released an album after a long delay was Depeche Mode 😊
‘''Guess who this is. You’ll never guess who this is.’” - Pete Townsend about this track
We'd know that whine anywhere!
Paper gods a masterpiece it's one of dd best creation I love it
Always delivers never disappoints. I will follow them my entire life.
I love Duran Duran. They are notorious.
Duran Duran makes music that is paradoxically both of the era that it is made in and transcends that era. This song is yet another example of that.
Good song. I went to see them live for the fifth time in July 2022. I'm one of these eighties fans who began to lose track of them definitely right after the release of Liberty, though I kept on listening to their 80s albums. I loved their comeback in 2003 but after the Astronaut tour I lost track again. Now I'm in a receptive moment to give a chance to all their by me "forgotten" non eighties albums and give them a listen and I'm glad to check that they are all more than bearable to my ear. I believe that after many decades of listening passively to lots of music my ear is used to almost everything. Even dead and doom metal are fine. I know I won't like these DD albums as I do with those of the eighties, but I'm happy to know that in the near future I will be able to know these songs properly as they deserve. Many of these songs tell me that the group did always their best, and I understand that every album was composed and released under different circumstances. For example, releasing Medazzaland and Pop trash without John Taylor. That had to be the worst period for the band, having just Nick and Simon surviving until they got the brilliant idea of reuniting the fab five. It's quick to say, but John and Roger were back 19 years ago and I don't see the end of the band in, at least, this decade. Long live DD!
Poetic, like an unfamiliar path into a beautiful countryside...
Fantastic Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really cool.. I hear "New Religion" and "Night Boat" soaring around this nicely.
Bobby Crash™ Are you crazy? Where on Planet Earth do you hear a hint of those classic songs in this mess?
The Valley off RCM is its closest feel.
I like the musical interlude mid-way through but the chants at the beginning could do without.
+Bobby Crash™ Lovely.

DD evolved magnificently I love all their music, they are unique, in their sound. This song is exquisite.
This song has a beautifully meaningful lesson behind it that I really needed at this point in my life. In some cases, our world is very troubled these days, but we can't let it bother us so much that it creates negativity in our lives
It's amazing how a 7 minute long song continues to maintain my interest even when I have played it over and over. I don't even skip over the chanting at the beginning when I replay it! There are long songs in the Duran Duran catalog (such as Sin in the City) which I love but still skip over parts because I get impatient. The progression of this song is really fantastic, though, and I love to hear the whole thing.
Paper Gods . . . I'm still taking it in and enjoying it on so many levels. Complex and simple, a beautiful paradox. Duran Duran rides the wave, balancing on the apex. Bold, but Duran Duran has always been bold. Paper Gods works on so many levels. Another great song to enjoy.
I went to one of the concerts, it was my first one and it was unforgettable.👍
never heard this song before but boy oh boy is it right on target!
Yeah, back to your new wave roots :)
Somehow, i feel something from ''Notorious'' era.
Saw Them twice. Best band in the world.
Simon's voice melts me... Mmmmmmmmm ❤❤❤
+YVONNE LAW yes
+YVONNE LAW Me too! ;-D
+YVONNE LAW His voice hasn't changed at all.
I agree !!! Simon is my favorite . his voice is so magical !!! can't wait to see them next month . 😍
Oh I totally agree! :-D Hope you will enjoy seeing them live next month...where are you seeing them? :-D
Excelente, me siento contento de saber que mi Banda de bandera siempre esta a la vanguardia de la nueva musica, me gusta Duran Duran, el de hoy, el de mañana y el de siempre, Duran Duran siempre se caracterizo por hacer musica diferente, con otro estilo y eso se vio desde los 80s hasta hoy 2015....Greats.......Aun tenemos Duran Duran para rato......
Very powerful "observation". A much needed message/reminder for us these days. The music leaves space with the melody. Love the bass - space. Good to hear John like this. The chorus sticks. Interesting changes too. Nick's sound bending gives it the surreal feel. Very mad cool song!
depecheddurand Agreed! I know folks will request this one and share it till it gets number 1. Duran Duran fans are good like that! :)
You think the DD community is enough to get this to #1??? Not at all otherwise every single would be #1.
depecheddurand Spread it like cancer you mean. This is terrible!
Rubellan Remasters who cares how popular it is anyway? seems like a weird pathology. enjoy the song if you like it or dont.
I'm in total agreement with u. Couldn't have said it better! I love that they still take risks and aren't so damn formulaic like other Veteran bands. U2. I know I'm not going to like everything they write, but I know I will like MOST of it, most of the time!
A superb update to their existing catalogue. I also listened to Travis's new album yesterday, its so good to have bands I enjoy coming back to the scene and just making it look as easy as they did back in the day. Also shows the difference what real talent sounds like as opposed to pretty people singing plastic songs.
That accapella intro is SUPERB! Muchas gracias my dearest Paper Gods! I gladly have lifelong paper-cuts and am very proud to show my musical DD scars! Just heard it for the first time and as I write,playback no.2 is still playing. Good Lord! My addiction to DD music is just fed stronger and stronger every freaking note.
Took my mate Steve to see them in 1992 at Manchester Apollo .. he was in ore... reflex dancing and everything
When you hear the sound of this new album , you realize why they took their time on making it , it's amazing .
I'm 55 years old , was never a duran duran fan, went to see the paper gods tour in San Diego California, they wear fantastic
Great song. Great show in Vancouver.. 8 years was too long to wait between shows!
this is definitely a grower. Lifelong devoted DD fan and when I first heard it I didnt get it then listened again and still didnt get it. I have persevered and now love it!!!!
Took me some time to like it as well.
Paper Gods is the most addictive song I've heard in a long time. At first listen I glossed over it on the way to Last Night In The City and Pressure Off. The second listen I actually "heard" something in the song that I liked... and by the 3rd time I realized I liked it better than Pressure Off. Now, after a number of complete play throughs, Paper Gods is almost always an automatic replay at least once if not more before going on to other tracks. The sound experimentation, the harmonies, reminds me of the Beach Boys on Good Vibrations. I don't think they sound the same, but musically and experimentally they are very similar. Can't speak highly enough of this work... the best thing they've put to wax in years and years...
This song just does it for me....really it does. It's, by far, the best on the album.
This is what keeps me obsessed with Duran Duran it makes me smile... I feel the work that goes into there tracks... If you put this on a booming base speaker system it's totally brilliant. The base is brilliant by John, Simons on top form and nicks twiddling like a mad man! And around 4.20 it goes into something out of like the man who fell to earth film! ... The final chorus is more loud and relentless at 5.40 it's totally an epic Duran track! ... Phones and pads and crumby speakers do nothing for this fantastic track!
Molto bella e originale! La voce di Simon sempre una nuova scoperta👏👏👏.
GRANDISSIMI!
Amazing album.
Duran Duran get better and better.
i love duran duran...no no notorious.....paper gods is fantastic.
Duran Duran wakes me, me looking and always finds me ...... Lima-Peru
Masterpiece!! I cannot stop listening this song!! The greastest
Me too! From argentina!
This reminds me of their earliest work in that it sounds like musicians early in their career who are not following convention (whether naive or rebellious) and as a result create something unique and powerful.
Just recently got into Duran Duran. I love all their songs. I hope to see them in concert someday
I love Duran duran got loads of albums and listening to all there music on my phone
i can't describe this song with words........
Cannot Wait For The Album To Drop,Folks.Let's Admit It:Duran Duran has matured and so has their sound.Alot of peop-le wont like this but those of us who have been with them from the begining and grew with them most certainly will!!!
Amazing lyrics , ahead of their time AGAIN .
This really is your masterpiece! I love it Duran Duran!! 👍👍👍👍
The exact limit between an all-the-same boyband and a fantastic pop rock one.. They're amazing.. It combines a comercial music with great lyrics and well done melody and harmony
The best album they have done in years ,up there with rio and wedding album fan since 83 love them always finally saw them in Brighton ,paper gods tour ,magical night .le bon girl 71 xx
saw duran duran in concert in Brighton 2015. wow!
I listen to this song everyday, only once though cos I don't want to get sick of it...Ever...! Looking forward to whole album!
In spite of the time, Simon Still has the strenght to innovate and create masterpieces on its genre, and the most important thing: to give a good impression in our hearts. Really AMAZING! THAnks Simon LE Bon and DURAN DURAN.
I saw my favorite band, my life is complete. THE WORLD IS COMING AN END.
same here!!
notorious performance, special to forget during a time this ordinary world, and a view to a kill against bad music...i save a prayer to Duran Duran, the best!
Slips into the mind and moves about in a dance of zen prayer and scintillating sparks.
Once again I can't understand seeing 172 thumbs down with this song. It's a beautiful song, lyrics are beautiful, Simon's amazing voice, the Band is outstanding. Every Band, every Artist needs to change their music. Each album has to be different from the album before, or no one is going to listen and buy there music. I personally find Paper Gods to be an outstanding album, each and every song is fantastic. I am sad to see this, but your lost I guess.
The last 50 seconds is an extraordinary mixture of electric spiritual magic.
Duran duran lives on
did any notice the range Simon still has especially in chances are? gives me goose bumps, I think he is as unique as Elvis was.
No, he really isn't.
My gf and I just saw them at the Bowl tonight! Awesome! Can't stop singing!
Loved D2 in the 80's like a crazy fan! Great memories!
Can't believe it's been three years I cannot wait for a new album, I love all of classic Duran's albums but 21st Century Duran Duran are amazing, with Astronaut, Red Carpet Massacre, All You Need Is Now and Paper Gods I just know whatever happens next is gonna be great.
Duran Duran, they are super in shape in the sound and the voice of Simon. Very good
From 5:39 of this song until the end is like watching beautiful destruction...Nick's extra arpeggio synth takes it over the top...When Duran Duran hit all cylinders they will make you smile and cry at the same time :)
This is incredible....
Just amazing!
Wasn't sure about the intro but then that Depeche Mode sounding synth kicked in... Simon's brilliant voice in that amazing chorus with a powerful message BOOM!
