One wise man said that people generally do not notice us, even if they notice us, they do not allow us to speak. Once they let us speak, they don't listen most often. Even if they listen, they don't usually understand what we are talking about. Even if they understand, they won't believe it most often. And even if they believe, they won't remember.
I think about this often and it makes me both furious and sad. I feel like sometimes you just can't reach certain people and there's nothing you can do about it but sigh and move on.
LYRICS: In a manner of speaking I just want to say That I could never forget the way You told me everything By saying nothing In a manner of speaking I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand But the way that I feel about you Is beyond words Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do In this life that we live, we only make do The way that we feel Might have to be sacrificed So in a manner of speaking I just want to say That just like you I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything
This song hits me in the feels, as it reminds me of a one in a million woman I once knew. The chemistry and conversations flowed like molting lava serendipitously. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Of course, that is actually a real full on poem (In case you're not familiar - it's a song but also a poem LC wrote over many years, and he would sometimes even recite the poem in live shows; there may even be more that were never heard/shared!)
Thank you for posting. The song reminds me of mix tapes from my first and only really true love. Back then when vinyl ruled the day, it was extremely difficult to find independant label's pressings. It took trips to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Jamaica to complete my record collection. It was like a game, "Stump the Record Store owner ?!?" by asking for Tuxedomoon, Residents, Young Marble Giants, Jazz Butcher Conspiracy, Thick Pigeon, Skeleton Crew, etc. Some bands never even released 12 inch LP's, but you had to collect the 7" singles. Expensive, but the B-sides made it worth it. I live in Baltimore, MD which has a fairly vibrant art scene, but the musicians usually played DC and NYC, rarely making a pitstop here. I was lucky in that my father worked for Delta Air Lines, so I could fly for free on an empty seat (Hence my travel and subsequent record collection.) But even with that, we still treasured mix tapes to gain exposure to new musicians, songs, styles, etc. We put a lot of effort into the song selection, the playlist, and then the artwork on the cassette labels. I don't know whether to begrudge the ease with which people can find music online that we worked so hard to obtain, or revel in the ability to listen to, and watch, musicians I have admired and been fans of for decades. I will choose to be the happy guy....Thank you for posting, so I can relive my past. And I feel sorry for those who only have the you tube videos, as they miss the liner notes that came with the vinyl. We used that for the record label, producers, and band member's side projects to discover new artists. It seems the technology does not have that, and the search engine never reccommends the next song I want to hear. Viva La Vinyl. And the Buggles had it right......"Video did kill the radio star." and "artists," who would never get a second listen on the radio, are able to be successful by crafting a video with half-naked men/women, dancers/strippers, cash, guns, and drugs. Whoops, slipped into grouchy old man. Thanks again, and enjoy the music everyone. Off to the next video.
It reminded me a woman that i knew in the past which who loved me more than i love myself. I wonder where is she now. Hope she is doing alright 'couse I could never forget the way she told me everything by saying nothing.
Ma dai, non ha niente a che fare quella canzonetta di Sanremo con questa, dove trovate la somiglianza? Piuttosto ci sento di piu' Se mi lasci non vale di julio Iglesias, Colapesce e Di Martino hanno copiato un po' da quella.
In a Manner of speaking I just want to say That I could never forget the way You told me everything By saying nothing In a manner of speaking I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand But the way that i feel about you Is beyond words O give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing O give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do In this life that we live we live we only make do And the way that we feel Might have to be sacrified So in a manner of speaking I just want to say That just like you I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing. O give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing O give me the words Give me the words Give me the words
МАНЕРА ГОВОРИТЬ Если можно так выразиться Хочу сказать Что никогда не смогу забыть как Ты сказала мне все Не говоря ничего Если можно так сказать Я не понимаю Как любовь в молчании становится выговором Но то, что я чувствую к тебе Не подвластно словам О, скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Что ничего не скажут мне О, скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Что скажут обо всем мне С такой манерой говорить Семантика не нужна В этой жизни Обходимся тем что имеем И то как мы чувствуем Приходится приносить в жертву В своей манере Я просто хочу сказать Что и мне нужно найти способ Сказать тебе все Не говоря ничего О, скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Что ничего не скажут мне О, скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Скажи мне слова Автор перевода - К.

yet that will probably stay in my mind my whole life maybe if thats the case humans are meaningless and forgettable but i suppose thats fitting for such meaningless creatures to create meaning in nothing
Today, more than 30 years later, here I'm listening this timeless master piece. It rains.

Lata'80- ROZGŁOŚNIA HARCERSKA B.SITEK,P.SITO💚
I like your optimism
Wise observation 👌 in my days in Brussels the late 70 and early 80. This was my music.
Nicely sad.
One of those songs that happens once in a lifetime
Just like a once in a lifetime love.
LYRICS:
In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that I feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live, we only make do
The way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
eternal creepy beauty. absolutely love it.
When I broke up with my son's mother this song came in my life.. Now I embrace that feeling. It's all good.
Thanks, this Song reminds me of my sister who died in 1996 in the age of only 23 years.
😢💔

This song hits me in the feels, as it reminds me of a one in a million woman I once knew. The chemistry and conversations flowed like molting lava serendipitously. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Why wasn't it tho
I’m curious as well
@@evilanais7897 It was a co-worker who quit and vanished and moved far away.
@@jzen1455 try to find her in social media
So many years since this song was released and it's still enchanting and one of the best songs that ever being written
magic malody.. goes deep inside.. cant stop listening .
One of the best songs i have heard
Fernando barbedo Don’t miss the Martin Gore cover of this song
...this music is timeless...
In this life that we live, we only make do--
This is pure fucking poetry.
Love these lyrics, that part is poetry indeed. And reminds me of "you live your life as if it's real" (from Leonard Cohen's A Thousand kisses deep.
Of course, that is actually a real full on poem (In case you're not familiar - it's a song but also a poem LC wrote over many years, and he would sometimes even recite the poem in live shows; there may even be more that were never heard/shared!)
No words to give, simply best love song ever

Bitter and magnificent like first love.
Loving two versions at the same time. Blessed.

To me, there's only the original one
Adoro questo brano. Una melodia che ti entra nell' anima ...
Se non la conosci già, ti consiglio di ascoltare anche la cover di Martin Gore (il compositore e seconda voce dei Depeche Mode).
@@desifromitaly2205 molto bella. Grazie del consiglio. :-)
@@unforgettablefire6176 Prego! Mi fa piacere che ti sia piaciuta 😊
Cerca anche Nouvelle Vague, stupenda

this and especially cover by Nouvelle Vogue and others reminds me of "back to black" Amy Winehouse and Ronson
geil!!
I love the lyrics so much
Ta pieśń ma gen wieczności nie przemijania,koji rozdartą duszę ,leczy rany ,wybacza winy
In a Manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words
O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.
O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Thanx!

Oh right... In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do...

Merci beaucoup.

So that's where it came from. Heard the cover by Nouvelle Vague
For the love of god, give him th fuc%&*g words!
МАНЕРА ГОВОРИТЬ
Если можно так выразиться
Хочу сказать
Что никогда не смогу забыть как
Ты сказала мне все
Не говоря ничего
Если можно так сказать
Я не понимаю
Как любовь в молчании становится выговором
Но то, что я чувствую к тебе
Не подвластно словам
О, скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова
Что ничего не скажут мне
О, скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова
Что скажут обо всем мне
С такой манерой говорить
Семантика не нужна
В этой жизни
Обходимся тем что имеем
И то как мы чувствуем
Приходится приносить в жертву
В своей манере
Я просто хочу сказать
Что и мне нужно найти способ
Сказать тебе все
Не говоря ничего
О, скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова
Что ничего не скажут мне
О, скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова
Скажи мне слова

WOWW
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I discovered this song from the cover that Alice Phoebe Lou made of it. She gave a wonderful tribute to your song. The lyrics are so deep and intense.
words are meaningless and forgettable
yet that will probably stay in my mind my whole life maybe if thats the case humans are meaningless and forgettable but i suppose thats fitting for such meaningless creatures to create meaning in nothing
Why? Words are powerful
shit i must of been high writing this Jesus Christ
Enjoy the silence!
Yours maybe
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Give me the words
That tell me everything
lot better than Gore's cover version.....it's so haunting!
Reminds me of the times when i wrote my poems on a typewriter.
Być może już kiedyś coś o tym napisałem, tutaj. Nie pamiętam. MIÓD od chyba 30-tu lat. Na me uszy.
