This is one of the finest songs ever written.

[Chiari_Queen_T]

He wrote this song about a good friend who died. He struggled with depression after. That is what inspired this song.

Recently lost my best friend that I've known since the age of 11, he was an artist, poet and loved grunge/hard rock, he loved this song and I can not listen to it without feeling lost, alone and devastated..he was not supposed to go first...miss him terribly! Struggling to find my ordinary world without him in it...

[wolfmama]

They are from Birmingham England and they started in 1978. They are still in the business 45 years strong.

I can identify with this song. I lost my brother when he was 31 years old. I was stuck in deep grief and couldn’t understand why people I would pass on the street were carrying on with their lives, laughing and didn’t have a care in the world. I had to realize that there was an ordinary world out there and with the help of God, I would survive.

My husband died a year ago Aug 14th. I just took my first vacation in over 4 years ago after being a caregiver as well. I can relate to this, trying to fit into an ordinary world. Sebs, you and Ally rock! I watch all the time! ❤

This is Simon's masterpiece and the greatest Duran Duran song of all time.. His best friend killed himself and Simon wrote this song to heal himself from the grief.. They play it at every live show And they get more fan mail about this song than any other to this day.. It's incredible.. Simon says before he sings it live at every show that it's about the life you have maybe not the one you wanted but learning to survive the life you were given.. I follow the band all over the world 10 months a year every single year and I cry every single time Simon sings it.. I have 2 severely disabled children and when Simon sings it I feel it to my core. It heals my heart.. My life and my soul.. The band knows me and my life and I never miss a show and I try to never let Simon see me cry when he sings it but he sees me and nods and smiles and last year he came up and wiped my tears as I cried at a show.. Sometimes a song can heal your soul.. This is that song.. My son's first name is Duran after the greatest band in the world.. 😁 He can not speak but you turn on Duran Duran and he lights up like a Christmas tree.. Thank you for reacting to this song.. You should react to more of their music.. Maybe Rio or The Reflex or Wild Boys.. With 16 albums there is plenty to listen to 😁 Long live the greatest band in the world.. Long Live Duran Duran 🙌💕

Come Undone by Duran Duran is absolutely worth checking out

[isaackovitz]

This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

[MetalphysicalMel]

They were The Beatles of the 80's. Absolute hysteria wherever they went.

[mitzifrancis]

The first time I heard this song, I sobbed. There are so many lyrics, like in the chorus, "there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find" that hit hard and captured my feelings perfectly. A neighbor started molesting me when I was a very young girl back in the 1960s. All of a sudden, I didn't understand the world at all and couldn't find any way to explain what was happening to anyone around me. They all were living in what had been my ordinary world. The line, "where is the life that I recognize?" was devastating. As you noted, though, the song conveys a determination to find a way back to an ordinary world in both the music and lyrics.

Thanks for your reactions. It's a pleasure to see you enjoy songs that are long standing favorites.

[laurabuer]

You did this song justice.

It's hopeful and sorrowful at the the same time.

Utterly beautiful.

[taramama]

This is my favorite band of all time!!! I’ve seen several times in concert!! They always make me smile!!! They still make albums and tour!! Simon always has a way with lyrics, beautiful. Go down this rabbit hole my friend they have great songs!

[mariebishop]

I lost one of my childhood friends a few years before this song came out, and I struggled with my feelings, because his death was so senseless and tragic. The first time I heard this song, it gave me clarity, and helped me start to heal. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. Duran Duran is an awesome band.

[JOHNNYSGIRL]

Simon wrote this song about his friend who died of an overdose!

[dipsydoodle]

This is one of the deepest, widest rabbit holes you will EVER fall into. Official video for Save a Prayer or Rio is a great next choice. You got introduced to 90s "comeback" (they never left) DD. You need a look at 80s "when they ruled the world" DD.

[PopTrashInc]

They are THE reason why I started making music myself.... my heroes.

[shawndawyman]

My favorite of their songs. Reminds me of losing my dad and the grief.

[dygger]

Even today....he STILL has that same voice....it is just amazing to listen to

[Judymoe]

My sister and I both loved this song a lot; it became even more meaningful to me after my sister passed away in 2009. I love it, but its meaning has changed for me since its release. Great reaction, thank you.
