This is one of those hidden pop gems that make me grateful to be a PSB fan since my teenage self, 35 years ago, to be alive and able. This is the kind of artistic expression that connects me to the world, as well to my self. The implied kindness, the sweetness, the calm...
@@theglaz66 yes also been a HUGE fan since the start and have always loved their B sides in truth... they tend to be the ones I still play over and over now - more than the big hits. This has an essence of We All Feel Better in the Dark to it.
I really love their B-sides too; they have released two compilation albums so far, I'm really waiting for a third ! Meanwhile, I have a compilation of these B-sides (from Fundamental to Nonetheless) on my channel
I'm secretly celebrating loving this band for 40 years now. You know, certain things add a lot to the value of life itself. Here is one more bliss PSB moment :)
@@henbane2247 Well yes, secretly as in a quiet night in, haha. Love them live. It's hard to choose which concert I enjoyed the best, but I met them after the concerts a few times and that was always special. Probably the time at the NEC when they signed my rarest items, and the way Chris looked at me whilst signing the speaker sleeve to see that I was dressed identically haha! OH! The Savoy, with the shouty men, and we were front row, that was a fantastic intimite moment... or maybe at Brighton Pride. You could see Neil was overwhelmed, it was etched on his face :)
Esta canción me transportó a una época muy específica de mi adolescencia: cuando escuchaba música de la radio tarde en la noche durante las vacaciones de verano. Qué gran capacidad de los Pet Shop Boys de evocar buenos recuerdos, de verdad que son unos grandes artistas.
30 seconds in and I'm loving it. Neil's vocal starts and that's it. I'm done. Such beauty, classic sophisticated Pet Shop Boys. Sound like he did 20yrs ago.
Oh my goodness! How do you guys keep putting out music that is not only good, but it sounds like you guys have not compromised your musical style for modern sensibilities? I feel like I'm hearing something you all put out in the 80s, not in November of 2024. Well done, Neal and Chris!
Every time I listen this new surprising song "Beauty laid...", I am transported to a world where emotions float like soothing waves. This song is a true musical gem that reminds me why I have been passionate about music for so many years. 🎶Each note resonates with an implicit sweetness "une certaine douceur...", a kindness that envelops and soothes the mind. The delicate melody and touching lyrics create a symphony of calm and happiness, reminding me of the beauty of the present moment. This kind of artistic expression reconnects me not only with the world, but also with myself. An ode to life, a tribute to the simplicity and purity of feelings. There is something timeless about this music, a quality that transcends epochs and generations, a hidden gem that deserves to be savored with each listen. 💖🎶

Quando a vida parece chata e triste, vem os PSB para torná-la alegre e colorida. Grato, grato, grato Neil e Chris.... vocês me dão vida há 40 anos !! A música de vocês é harmoniosa e melodiosa como a bossa nova brasileira. Parabéns !!
Ufff....Solo hay algo en la vida que no me deja de sorprendet...esos son los PSB....Temazo....para escuchar en el atardecer de primavera en las cabañas del camping el chivato, en los molles, 🇨🇱

I'm since 93. Can you forgive her is my favourite since there.
Only 33 years? Oh man, you missed out on a lot! lol
@@danielthommen8243 i did not miss a thing, because of recordings, lol
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love it, I love you 🥀💓🥀
I am (80 years old) I have always thought that you are angels come from heaven 😇
Great young Woman ! Respekt !!!
PSB are the masters of B-sides... this is brilliant stuff!
So agree with you. Need them compiled in an album
@@OpalKrush Yes. It's time for a new b-sides & bonus tracks compilation.
@@OpalKrush This current era of B sides are excellent.
+1
who agrees that sometimes their B sides like that are better than the 'A' sides? These last few releases have all had absolutely amazing B sides....
In the US it was their very first single, WEG. But the B side was AMCGA, that’s the song that started my life long journey with them
@@theglaz66 yes also been a HUGE fan since the start and have always loved their B sides in truth... they tend to be the ones I still play over and over now - more than the big hits. This has an essence of We All Feel Better in the Dark to it.
Absolutamente todos sus lados B son los mejores!
@@MarkJeynes Absolutely. I’ve put an Albums worth of them together on a CD
Like having a second excellent Album to Enjoy
I really love their B-sides too; they have released two compilation albums so far,
I'm really waiting for a third !
Meanwhile, I have a compilation of these B-sides (from Fundamental to Nonetheless) on my channel
Beautiful melody, it reminds me of "the samurai in autumn", long live PSB, following them forever and until my last days...
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
I love you so much. Another B-side gem.
I'm secretly celebrating loving this band for 40 years now. You know, certain things add a lot to the value of life itself. Here is one more bliss PSB moment :)
It doesn't have to be a secret. They are a great band. They are also great live

Just when my life is full of pain and suffering their music comes to heal my soul.
Hapiness is and option
@@faracomunicacionGDL Obviously you did not grow up in a Communist Dictatorship
All the best for you 🫶
There should BE a totally B-Sides Concert over 2 hours 🎉☝️🙏🫶
Beautiful Nicee✨✨!
Classic Pet Shop Boys. Great.
classic psb sound, haunting but emotional and lush at the same time. a return to form.
"return to form"? what form? the form you prefer? what a tiresome, meaningless cliche.
@@grantc61 oh jog on, it is all ones perspective and this is mine. Why the misery when I am simply praising their work.
Nicely put.
Good description!
PSB's ethereal creations like this are the pinnacle of the artform.
For sure
Love love love makes me remember back in the 80's in Europe❤
80’s band B sides are some of the best music ever written.
Just played..after physical release day arrived promptly. Lovely music..interesting..moving lyrics sung by the great vocals of Neil.
Another jewel of PSB!! Thanks for all the wonderful music, boys!!

Vc falou tudo.
Pleasant quality of this song particular! Love this Pet Shop Boys style like Jack the Lad! Tender and romantic feel! 🫠

Neil and Chris, I love it!!!! 😍
Another brilliant B-side!
This is stunning. 2024's been a great year for Petheads.
The Nonetheless era is one of the best in terms of b-sides.
Me, Roof down drive thru the night... Yep this is on THAT playlist! Smooth as butter!
❤precious
All the b sides from the 5 singles of Nonetheless have been brilliant but this is something else! Breathtaking.
@@jaysonbyse4178 Agree . Gave me the goosebumps! Love it

Such beautiful music. Nothing PSB has ever released has disappointed me. Especially lately.

Concordo plenamente 😊
Great! The band just had enough melancholy and autumnal sadness in their work.
Pet Shop Boys - Beauty has laid siege to the city
Lyrics
The beautiful are laughing
One finds them in the park
Wandering by the roses
Often after dark
Beauty has laid siege to the city
One sees it everywhere
In the stubbornness of spinsters
Or a toss of flaming hair
The senses are often overwhelmed
By the scent of love in the air
And the moment
When beauty
Does its duty
And deigns to catch your stare
Thе beautiful are fearlеss
One finds them late at night
Wandering way past their bedtimes
With wide eyes strangely bright
Beauty has laid siege to the city
In Knightsbridge they’re all of a flutter
Hearts are beating a little too fast
With nostalgia for the gutter
Innocence and beauty are friends
Walking hand in hand
The boys that dive from Chelsea Pier
Live in a promised land
The beautiful are happy
One sees them everywhere
Floating down Piccadilly
Their scent is in the air
Beauty has laid siege to the city
The ugly are fighting back
Passing laws
Enforced by bores
Beauty is under attack
The beautiful are dancing
In dark rooms to the east
Emerging from the ruins
Their numbers have increased
Beauty has laid siege to the city
An army of lovers invades
The young and pretty
Are showing no pity
In gorgeous escapades
Beauty has laid siege to the city
Some say it isn’t worth tuppence
It may
Be supposed
That those who oppose it
Will one day get their comeuppance
The beautiful are laughing
One finds them in the park
Wandering by the roses
Often after dark
Wow I like this alot. I like all theirs but this one is one their best latley
Son genios, esos sonidos maravillosos ☺️😍
Espectacular!!!!!!
❤me encanta
Divine!!!!!!
Ohhh yes!
J écoute les pet shop boys depuis le début de leur carrière si extraordinaire et ils arrivent encore à me surprendre je trouve cette composition du duo atmosphérique avec une belle ambiance....du très grand art..... ça méritait mieux qu une face b..... un titre émouvant
Os lado B dos Pet shop Boys, sempre são maravilhosos.
Elegante y eterea, me encanta esta canción
Maravilhoso
PSB magic resides in his B Sides
Beautiful Nicee of Pet Shop Boys✨✨✨!
With love from Novosibirsk ❤
Sempre nel cuore ❤🧡💛💚💙
Ай лав пет шоп бойс) ( i love you Guys ,best best best)
❤
Кайф, бесконечно красиво! ❤
Why these Song is not at the Album?
I have the same question. Some b-sides are much better than half of the album tracks 😐
Guau!!! Una canción tan suave , es emocionante y preciosa 😍💙
Deeply synth pop 🫧
