Ah la la ! Que c’est bon d’écouter ça encore et encore… C’est la folie !

[diquadhumungersaur]

remember tripping to this, and others of course, in a small attic bedroom way back in '85/86.. was underwater with sea creatures, blues and bright greens, even now the song makes me think of the same.. smooth and mellow with bright runs.. :-) .. I'm sadly straight at the moment but ....

This song is truly stunning! I've loved The Stranglers ever since my Dad introduced me to their music when I was younger but I had never heard this one until recently and it's incredibly Beautiful! Love you, Dad! ❤

God I love this song. Love it. Such a dark period for the band. In probably the last year of my life without the heavy cloud of depression. This song was everything to me & in many ways it still is.

Love the production on this. One of the few songs that have a perfect mix. Wouldn't change a thing.

Жан-Жак Бурнель (Jean -Jaques Burnel) - родился во французской семье в Англии (родители владели рестораном французской кухни в одном английском городе). В его творчестве проскочило несколько песенок на французском!
Помимо того, что он был одним основателей панк/"волновой" группы "Стренглерз" ("Душители").
но помимо того, что он панк/"волновой" музыкант - он еще и каратист! Один из видных деятелей Федерации Киокушин-каратэ в Британии!

Always remember that clip with Dave protecting his glass of beer.Gets me even in 2022💯🔥🔥

The bass here is just savage, makes the track

[StaxRiley]

Such a beautiful, disquieting song and a bold creative leap forward for the band. Too bad the general public didn't embrace it and it flopped as a single. Both JJ and Hugh are incredible songwriters and penned some of the greatest lyrics of their entire generation.

1:25 Hugh nods his head in tune with the bass guitar.

Les paroles en français sont surprenantes de realisme qui reflètent vraiment les moments où l'on se sent en dehors de la réalité , LA VRAIE BEAUTÉ DE LA FOLIE ❤...ET DE L'AMOUR 😢
MERCI THE STRANGLERS👍💕

[SusanneErikaErbeckHabiro]

Definately. My all time favourite. I just recently found out - whom it is for. Issei Sagawa :). It's his story. Goggle it.

[johnmacleod]

A thought provoking song sung in French to give it more mystique and intrigue its also an emotive song that draws you in to its melody and lyric
