Lyrics:
Look in my eyes
See the lust and the love
Look in my eyes
When I'm talking to you
I'll take my life
Into my own hands
I'm the one that I will blame
I'm the one that understands
What are we gonna do?
While we've still got the strength to move
What are we gonna do?
I'm asking, I'm asking you
A call to arms, a call to use arms
A call to brains, a call to use some brains
A call to the heart, a call to have a heart
To have a sense of purpose again
Are we where we want to be
All wrapped up in our safety?
Comfort and complacency
It hurts me, it hurts me
What are we going to do?
While we've still got the strength to move
What are we going to do?
I'm asking, I'm asking you - เพลง

the best hidden treasure of all time
one of the most powerful and inspiring songs ever honestly.
Powerful, raw, emotional and vaguely threatening. Adrian's emphasis on personal agency here is very unique in my opinion. He can't make the decision for you, but he can encourage you to take whatever measures available and improve your lot in life.
"What are we gonna do? I'm asking, I'm asking you."
We've all been there, and it's up to us to pull ourselves out. Channel that frustration and do something about it!
THIS WHOLE ALBUM GOT ME THROUGH THE DARKEST TIME OF MY LIFE..........LOVE AND RESPECT FOREVER!!!!!!!
i know same over here
i understand
Same here.. 😏
Same
when you know, you know
I chat to Mike Dudley and Graham Bailey of The Sound occasionally.
A classic record by The Sound.
C.P.
2022.
The structure of the beginning alone is enough to consider this band the greatest in Post-Punk. How the bass, then the drums, then the guitar and then Adrian's voice starts is inimitable. Perfect balance between atmosphere and rawness.
Best band from 1980-1985 easy n my favourite of all time
one of the best new wave song
Quelle introduction et tout l'album est parfait !!! Masterpiece !
Tellement sous côté. Dommage que les disques soient introuvables ( a un prix raisonnable)
I just discovered this band, how did this slip by me???? Totally underrated, I agree!
Das selbe hier, same to me
Feeling the same way right now
Where can you buy this? iTunes doesn’t have it...
Never too late 🤗
Adrian Borland was a genius !
One of the best post-punk albums of all time. Borland always sang with conviction on every song.
Jim Ballard
Im on board with this statement...
*The best post-punk album
FTFY
Honestly to this day it's the single best record I've ever heard. I don't think that will ever change
That picture is amazing 🐈⬛✨
Such a powerfull song still love it after so many years
comfortably got me through my addictions in the mid eighties. TqVm
უთესლესიაააა
an all time classic track. gets better with every listen. dark , urgent - and yet still packs a great pop hook. Is there a more criminally underrated 80s band?
Some clame the chameleons as the most underrated 80s band but I believe this is far superior.
@@sfonylx Agreed. I quite like The Chameleons too, but The Sound is probably one of the most monumental bands ever to sadly go mostly unnoticed. They're damn near untouchable!
@@massivegat5087 I agree, damn near untouchable. I can appreciate the Chameleons but next to the Sound they 'sound' dated. There's a sense of urgency with Adrian and his lyrics.
Also, he refused to promote the band through commercial music videos when everyone else was doing it. The band didn't go for happier sounding pop tunes either which was a must in the 80s top 40 radio. I suppose they were too genuine and there's a price to pay for being so. But admire them for being true to themselves.
@@sfonylx Same here. Adrian was extremely devoted to his music and under no circumstances would he and the band ever 'sell-out'. I hear All Fall Down was born from that desire to not conform to industry norms and the demands of their record label, creating an inherently anti-commercial LP. I don't think it's as bad as critics say either, I don't find the record to be hard to get into, it's just not a pop record; none of their stuff is. It's clear that songs like Party of the Mind would never receive radio play and that's okay. They kept true to themselves.
On some days I actually enjoy Second Layer more than The Sound, Adrian and Graham's side project is bloody brilliant. So cold and almost wicked in a way, it's quite something! Just another example of them doing as they please and not compromising themselves and their vision at the behest of an overbearing label or the chances of commercial success. We lucky few who know of The Sound and Adrian's larger body of work are blessed. He is sorely missed.
@@massivegat5087 Not much i could add to your great reply. Party of the Mind is one of my favorites as well as Where the Love Is. That album is easy to get into if you have good taste in music.
However, I'm embarrassed to admit I had no idea of their side project. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm looking forward to listen to it.
Peace.
The Perfect Band
This blew my mind in 1981, it still does today.............
Same for me since 1982. I am so happy to still have the vinyl album , although I have no record player anymore. I keep the album just as a perfect memory of this incredible band.And as a bonus the album has the songtexts in the inside.
@@MD-ru5vs Geloof me maar dat ik de pick-up bewaard heb met maar 1 reden... om deze vinyl te kunnen draaien ;) met knetterend haardvuur op de achtergrond ! Blijf gezond bro !
For sure very unique and theres not too many bands out there nowadays especially that have the soul and feel that these brilliant musicians have
That's the perfect goth song 🖤
Excelente saludos desde Lima Perú
RIP Adrian
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT.
so full of TASTE
one of the best songs from one of the best albums by one of the most underated bands ever
Still remember, still in our hearts, Adrian.
an smell of joy division, i agree
80s supernovae of talent The Sound and The Chameleons.. pure post punk brilliance!
Han pasado más de 35 años y este temazo sigue despertando mi parte más salvaje. Es total! 🎶
Quiero llorar ¡¡¡
I love this band!!!!
Although their musical journey was not a commercial success, Nevertheless The Sound were such a creative and talented band in constant evolution, through their musical legacy we discovered their creativity, a distinctive sound among their compositions, poetry from the heart and musical greatness. It cannot be denied that they belong among the best bands of the 80s.
What are we gonna do?
Seems a sincere journey indeed
Il restera pour moi un excellent groupe 👍🎼😔
Every song this band made is a Cut they were amazing.
I like it.Thank you for sharing.

Great song. Definitely an underated band.
heard this on one of my parents mixed cd's. I could tell just from this track that the rest of the album would be just as brilliant. how right i was!
and i have it signed!
this is fantastic.
All "The Sound" it's essential for the music...
que increible disco, hacia mucho que no lo escuchaba
It is 18th of july, 2019 and my favourite band has changed
The job done on how the cover appears in the video is a work of art
Are we where we wanna be?
An underrated band, No doubt!
GREAT TO HEAR AGAIN AFTER SO LONG, STANDS UP TO ANY NEW BAND. RESPECT

Great song, great album, great band!
I have The Sound - From the lion's mouth, The Chameleons - Script of the bridge and The Comsat Angels - Sleep no more signed!
C.P. 2022.
AMAZING!!!!
It kind of reassures me that posthumous this band are as popular as they have ever been.
Adrian great artist
It's amazing that they were making this music in 1981. People are still copying their style whether they know it or not.
This influenced Interpol, Franz Ferdinand etc
They have a Sound similar to Comsat Angels
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS This album is amazing!
I'm new to this band and I really love the lyrics they sing,like in Winning. Winning ia soothing in some way and it calms me down,very good!
I love Da Sound!
vaya temazo !!
Great Great SOund... ...

Most lions are very social and friendly to us humans

Such good sound XD
It's worring I had never heard of this band until this year.

A sparkle in the dark.Pure pulsating energy.
supergrupo realmente brillante.....................
I love The Sound ..
Este tema fue la sintonía del gran programa de radio "La conjura de las danzas" emitido en Valencia durante los años 80 👍🏻
Homenaje para mi gran hermano Salem Erick Sifuentes Andrade.. Se fue al cielo. 3/11/2018. Te extraño, te llevo en mi corazón.. Hermano hasta siempre..
When this album came out
I thought it had the best "sound" of the new wave scene of that time
even today I think so,
despite complaining about the low budget imposed by the label
the result is surprising
I would love to hear this song in some upcoming films by my favourite directors like Michael Mann , David Fincher , Denis Villeneuve , Christopher Nolan and Nicholas Rending Refn or even some of favourite tv shows like Agents Of Shield , Supernatural and The Black List !
Hard to find the cd these days here in nz.used to have it on vinyl years ago
Chido ✌
