Duran Duran, the biggest band in the world during the mid-1980s & still going strong in 2024! Save A Prayer is a beautiful song & one out of many, many great songs in the band's catalog to choose from. Great choice for a reaction. Look forward to seeing your response.

Another gift from the 80's. John Taylor's bass lines will get you out on the dance floor. ✌️

This song and video reminds me of how awesome it was to be a teen in the 80s. Even despite the cold war, Reagan, Thatcher and AIDS. There's an energy in the music that just can't be found today.

[Who.Knew-The.Salt.MustFlow]

I miss the 80''so. At the end of 1980 I was 10 at the end of 1990 I was 20...take me back❤

[JedHead]

One of the few acts from the 80s STILL making NEW music today! In 2023 they were inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!

That squiggly sound that you commented at the end of the video was the arpeggiator of the Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizer.

I believe this video was filmed in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, my father was born there.

[marioibarra]

We need some Depeche Mode live and in concert 😊

The 80's is a decade of exaggerations, very sad, very happy, many keyboards and synthesizers, really great bands passed through there, and Duran Duran was one of them without a doubt. tks Inna!!!😍

"Save a Prayer" is a brilliantly written song about a one-time sexual affair but the music makes it sound romantic and heartfelt. MTV was a catalyst for many bands in the 80's and DD took full advantage of this medium to promote their product and their band. This video is beautiful and stunning, which only helped catapult this song into DD infamy. "Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise", a classic lyric. But John's bass playing is incredible.

[JOHNNYSGIRL]

I love John Taylor's bass playing in this song. He's very underrated in this song.

"some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise" ... Glorious 80s cheese there

Il video è stato registrato in Sri Lanka (ex Ceylon) e inizia sulla bellissima spiaggia di Galle con i suoi pescatori e gli interni dell’attuale Amangalla Hotel, oggi resort di lusso della catena Aman Resort con vista sul sito Unesco del Galle Fort.
Il video poi mostra la band in tre dei principali siti archeologici del paese:
- la Fortezza di Sigiriya con i suoi 370 metri di altezza che si staglia in una pianura verdeggiante con la band ripresa dall’alto.
- Polannaruwa, patrimonio Unesco, la seconda antica capitale del regno e secondo sito più antico del Paese.
- Anuradapura, prima capitale del paese, la città più antica e sito Unesco.

Altri due videoclip di canzoni tratte dall'album "Rio" furono girate in Sri Lanka:
- "Hungry Like the Wolf" nella capitale Colombo, all’interno della Pagoda Tea Room, poi nei meandri del mercato di Galle e nelle foreste incantate del Parco Nazionale di Yala.
- "Lonely in Your Nightmare" con le scene indoor girate sempre all’interno dell’Hotel Amangalla, mentre la scena esterna dove Simon Le Bon compare con sullo sfondo una piccola isola è stata girata di fronte all’isola di Taprobane, ora resort esclusivo.

Those early 80s Duran Duran videos were next level in their cinematography and location shooting. The videos (Hungry Like the Wolf, Rio, Save a Prayer) are cinematic quality. The excellence of the songs combined with the popularity of MTV at the time, it really took the band to unprecedented heights.

[andyman]

The 80s were an interesting decade for sure. I loved your reaction with that awesome accent, you should check out Ordinary World if you like Duran Duran.

DD is an influential, innovating, global performance-powerhouse.

Most requests will usually be from their 1st decade (~82-92) bc of their '80s footprint; however, they're not solely an '80s band, they're both a band with iconic '80s music, plus a band with multi-decade success when it comes to new music & the fact they're continuing to perform globally for their large, multigenerational fanbases.
The '80s is just when they came on the scene & gained an immediate following of millions all over the world. This lead to their biggest impact on the charts, with a long string of hits between early/mid '80s & early 90s. This period did include amazing songs you should definitely listen too.
I just don't want people to stop there, by only reacting to early hit singles.
Those of us who bought & listened to entire albums know there's a lot of songs that could've charted, maybe even better than what was chosen, not to mention you'll miss out on some of their greatest work over past 25-30yrs of incredible songs/albums.

I'm so glad you mentioned the instrumentation details, bc many reactors often spend too much time trying to analyze lyrics or forget to make their main focus the song - vs the video, so they end up getting distracted & missing the entire point, meaning:
How does the song make you feel?

Another thing vocally to listen for is Simon Le Bon's layered vocals, whether it's his amazing ability to harmonize with himself or the background lines that may flow behind a line in the verse/chorus/etc…
It's part of why I recommend hearing studio versions 1st, because it best represents what the band wants the music to sound like.
It's not that you shouldn't ever listen to live versions, it's just that all those things they spent hours trying to perfect in the studio can't be replicated live…

Anyway, thanks for sharing your reaction. I'm glad you enjoyed it, as it's always cool to see someone vibing with your fav band.
Take care!

*Inna, here’s the band in 2008 talking about making the song and the video:*

Save a prayer is a wonderful 80s classic and I still love the song like I did when I listened to it the first time.
