When I got the Electric album, this was toward the bottom of the list of my favorite songs. But after finally upgrading my sound system at home, good god this is now my favorite from the album. Just those beautiful synths, Chris Lowe is a legend!
Pet Shop Boys have never shied away from stating their inspirations, tributes. What's more they have always give credits and showered praises to the originals. And they said that this is partly a tribute to the Fade To Grey.
This is simply fantastic summer track! Flawless production and eiphoric tune, I truly believe it's one of the greatest tracks Stuart Price ever done and PSB as well.
Nicely punctuated graphic. And the 'Boys soaring, like a glass confessional, absolving into hesitant metadata chilling in, out, down on the onto and surrounding the deniable nebulous; yet, brightly fluorescent, a pleased cunning.unto itself.
First doesn't convince me but it slow catch my attention. Now I love it. Is dark and sexy. I love this reference to Visage's Fade to grey. Is simply awesome.
Bravo PSB!!! amo esta cancion!!! todo Electric lo amo!!! y esta cancion en especial regresaron a sus inicios!!!! en los 80s!! tiene un estilo muy ochentero!! una pieza y obra de arte!!! son los mejores Neil y Chris!!! son la mejor banda de toda la historia de la musica!!
This should have been on Refn's "Neon Demon". Fits perfectly. Refn once asked the Pet Shop Boys to compose a soundtrack for them being a fan of theirs. But they declined because he couldn't have afforded them. Instead, they gave him permission to use of of their songs in one of his movies for a very modest fee.
I love the fact that it took almost 30 plus years for the PSB to make an Electronic album, that they have been referencing in all of their further listening remakes.
Love this. It is like PSB have gotten their mojo back. This feels as fresh as when they first hit the charts with West End Girls in 1986, as fresh and better than ever, stronger, more funky, danceable and futuristic and lots of their original fun, quirkiness back thank goodness!!...after years of a little too much experimentation (with not enough funky electro beats like this). Predict this will be huge worldwide:-)...this song and the album Electric!
Not everyone could get away with such a heavy borrowing, but they somehow can. Brilliant sound, brilliant lyrics on the top of it, awesome chorus (I love that high pitched sound that keeps coming). They haven't made only greatness in recent years, but everything on Electric deifinitely is !
I thought the same! I'd like to think that the Pet Shop Boys wanted to make this song sound a bit more uptempo and happier. That's why it's not fading into something gray but fluorescent! :)
Lots of people are mentioning Visage but to me the verse melody sounds very evocative of an earlier PSB song. I think it's Tonight is Forever - compare the melody of "Money's short, time is tight" to "Brighter and brighter, and brighter you burn". It could even be another song altogether but it definitely seems to echo a previous track.
this track is an electronic masterpiece!
Agree.
Perfection.
1:16 ! 777 5:43 !
so true
The Pet Shop Boys *still* have it. This is a terrific dance track.
The whole album is fuking excellent \m/
After all these years, Neil and Chris still have the midas touch.

PSB never gets stale. Eternally young . Curiosity is in their DNA.
The album's produced by Stewart Price who did Madonna's Confessions On the Dancefloor album back in 2005.
*Stuart But yes that was a great album too.
@@c.6988 That was her last good album.
This song sounded fantastic on their electric tour.
beginning reminds me of Fade to Grey
You're right! The whole track has the same vibe as Fade to Grey by Visage. So cool!
yep...nailed it....
I'm a new fan of psb this is awesome 👌
coolest song on the album
Picuj 100%!
Lyrics / Letra
You walk in
And you light up the room
You've been living
In a looking-glass scene
Since you
Were seventeen
I can't deny
You've made your mark
With the helicopters
And the occasional oligarch
Brighter and brighter and brighter
You burn
When you're in this mood
There's no return
Life's a gamble
Throwing the dice
Every scandal
Has its price
Brighter and brighter and brighter
You burn
When you're in this mood
There's no return
Fluorescent
Incandescent
Fluorescent
Incandescent
You walk in
And light up the room
At midnight
It's time for business
But who
Will bear witness
To your beauty
And your fame?
And how well
You've played the game?
Brighter and brighter and brighter
You burn
When you're in this mood
There's no return
Life's a gamble
Throwing the dice
Every scandal
Has its price
Brighter and brighter and brighter
You burn
When you're in this mood
There's no return
Fluorescent
Fluorescent
Incandescent
Fluorescent
Incandescent

One of their best songs
When I got the Electric album, this was toward the bottom of the list of my favorite songs.
But after finally upgrading my sound system at home, good god this is now my favorite from the album. Just those beautiful synths, Chris Lowe is a legend!
Melancholy and euphoria in perfect harmony. Exactly as they should be.
This is their hommage to Fade to Grey. Brilliant!
they carry the flame.
REAL MUSIC - REAL ARTISTS - LEGENDS.
simply grand, most bold if I may say so.
a tone of dark atmosphere and great melody. amazing song.
THIS should have a Music Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favourites from 'Electric'
Life's a gamble throwing the dice every scandal has its price. Clever words, I love Pet Shop Boys! Lithuania :)
Sensual.
This and "Love is a Bourgeois Construct" are my faves from Electric, The two tracks that really fit into the "classic" Pet Shop Boys" pantheon.
I think it´s the best track on Electric!! And there ´s some FADE TO GRAY (VISAGE) in it ;-)
*eargasm*
You walk in...and light up the room....
I would like to live in pet shop Boys mode 💣
Pet Shop Boys have never shied away from stating their inspirations, tributes. What's more they have always give credits and showered praises to the originals. And they said that this is partly a tribute to the Fade To Grey.
i still love this so much
This is perfection... PSB are one of the greatest ever... Second to none in music history...
just fuckin amazing. they know how music is going on.
Sound like modern 80´s !
That song is amazing! Reminds me Confessions on a dancefloor of Madonna. PSB is amazing!
Stuart Price produced both albums.
One of my fav PSB songs ever!!!!
And being lucky to hear it live is a bliss :D
Thank you PSB for playing it
This song is AMAZING on a high-quality system setup and/or good headphones!! 🕺
Stuart Price = MAGIC.
This is simply fantastic summer track! Flawless production and eiphoric tune, I truly believe it's one of the greatest tracks Stuart Price ever done and PSB as well.
One of their best songs in years. 5 stars psb
I love this track 😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖😘😘😘😘😘
Fade to grey ( Visage). A masterpiece
Absolutley brilliant track. Purely addictive beat. Pounds to the core.
top electronic synth masterpiece....
certainly agree with this one and the last to die...the last to die is magnificient.
Nicely punctuated graphic.

Can we PLESE get more music like this today? Please! I’m sick of today’s garbage.
It's four years on, and unfortunately, it's still all garbage. Looks like it's going to be that way til climate change wipes us out.
I think it's the best song on the album. It has the essence of dance that has always characterized the Pet Shop Boys.
Has PSB always been about dance? I think they’re also very known for their slower more introspective and melodic songs.
@@VictoriaSobocki
Yes. 👍
Awesome song. May God bless the Pet Shop Boys!
First doesn't convince me but it slow catch my attention. Now I love it. Is dark and sexy. I love this reference to Visage's Fade to grey. Is simply awesome.
absolutely love this song by pet shop boys
So good, really should have a video with models on the catwalk. The tempo really is just spot on for some moneyshaker action!
Bravo PSB!!! amo esta cancion!!! todo Electric lo amo!!! y esta cancion en especial regresaron a sus inicios!!!! en los 80s!! tiene un estilo muy ochentero!! una pieza y obra de arte!!! son los mejores Neil y Chris!!! son la mejor banda de toda la historia de la musica!!

Awesome song!! I loved to hear this in live show! Absolutely superb!!! Thank you PSB!
just saw them last night, this song turned out great in concert
What was the stage setup like for this track?
Electric / Super are my very favorite ❤
Now this is a DDEEEEEP CUTTT!
Reminds of Some Speculation, Was that What is Was, That's My impression,mixed with Fade to Grey, to elevate those other b-sides to Album track status.
superbe album bravo.je me replonge dans les années 80 avec cette chanson avec un air de visages-fade to grey
from 86's.. number one in my heart...!!!!
This should have been on Refn's "Neon Demon". Fits perfectly. Refn once asked the Pet Shop Boys to compose a soundtrack for them being a fan of theirs.

IMPRESIONANTE TEMA.... HAN VUELTO A LA MUSICA DISCO OCHENTOSA ............ GENIOS TOTALES
Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, We Fade to Grey... 👏👏👏
Pet Shop Boys were BY FAR the biggest highlight for mr @ Coachella this year. Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!
I Don't care who did when or what!!!!! This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW and back in 2013! This is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
I want listen this great song in the disco. This is MUSIC!
At last: the follow-up to Paninaro, nine times over! 💯
Great song
I love the fact that it took almost 30 plus years for the PSB to make an Electronic album, that they have been referencing in all of their further listening remakes.

Perfect
My favourite track off the album!
U walk in and light up the room... everything has been said with that...
Not everyone could get away with such a heavy borrowing, but they somehow can. Brilliant sound, brilliant lyrics on the top of it, awesome chorus (I love that high pitched sound that keeps coming). They haven't made only greatness in recent years, but everything on Electric deifinitely is !
Excelente ELECTRIC!. Todos los temas estan espectaculares! Vuelvan pronto a Buenos Aires!!!.
like the way this is mixed in your face.
I thought the same! I'd like to think that the Pet Shop Boys wanted to make this song sound a bit more uptempo and happier. That's why it's not fading into something gray but fluorescent! :)
OMG This is heaven
Lots of people are mentioning Visage but to me the verse melody sounds very evocative of an earlier PSB song. I think it's Tonight is Forever - compare the melody of "Money's short, time is tight" to "Brighter and brighter, and brighter you burn". It could even be another song altogether but it definitely seems to echo a previous track.
Visage...got that ring to it
The Boys themselves said it is a tribute to Fade to Grey.
You're right. I can also heat the Melody of Tonight is Forever in it.
I could see this song as a feature track in a movie (making the movie way better than it would be otherwise)
every time I play this song, I like it more. That easily makes it the best song on the album
Fade to grey! this is freaking awesome!!! well done Boys you shown the world Electro boogie is not dead! one love
Very Relentless! Synth heaven!
Yes, it sounds as fade to grey
The best music eveeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!
Great song!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite song. You are masters Pet Shop Boys!
Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LYRICS.....
You walk in
And you light up the room
You’ve been living… in a looking glass scene
Since you… were 17
I can’t deny… you’ve made your move
With a heavy cup to spend the occasional army cup
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Life’s a gamble, throw my dice
Every scandal has it's price
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Fluorescent

Incandescent
You walk in
And you light up the room
At midnight it’s time for business
But who… will bear witness?
To your beauty and refrain
But how well you’ve played the game?
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve… At midnight it’s time for business
But who… will bear witness?
To your beauty and refrain
But how well you’ve played the game?
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Life’s a gamble, throw my dice
Every scandal has it's price
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return

Thanks, hero.
Love the production on this album from what I've heard.
I love the rhythm this song is super dance as I like to me. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ :D
The synth riff is just like in "FADE TO GRAY"
Yes,. it is like a homage and was done on purpose.
Carlo Lovicario top
