Lyrics:

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends (It never ends)

Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose

I'd tell myself, what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends (It never ends)

I've asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself?
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends

The bass line in this song is amazing, along with the synthesizer. Pure 80s bliss. I miss that decade of music.

[Jorge_Broa]

The 80´s wasn't a decade, it was an emotion. The iconic voices of some singers are just... unforgettable.

[hiddenname]

I didn't realize how lucky I was to be a teenager in the 80s. Best era for music.

[leecromer]

I’m 67 sat with a tinnie and whiskey chaser watching this on iPad and headphones remembering better times with a tear in my eyes..

[terencemeikle]

I find the late Mark Hollis' vocal heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure. Only a deeply sensitive human being could have sung like this. So beautiful. ❤️

[Angelicala]

1:58 is ADORABLE. Love him, absolutely fantastic singer and performer. Adore his voice and that epic head wobble…which is of course very absent here ❤ great band

[MrShanbo]

At the time of writing this... this song is almost 40yrs old and is as still fresh as the 1st time it hit the airwaves. A true definition of timeless.

[Stallion-dhfu]

This song never gets old. Completely timeless.

[tommy]

My absolute favorite song from the 1980's.
Mark Hollis has a haunting voice like no other singer from that era.
Talk Talk doesn't get the attention that The Cure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order and other British New Wave bands get, but they are absolutely just as legendary.

[eddiegutierrez]

This song is like wine the older it gets the better it sounds. What a master piece.

[neillflate]

RIP, Mark Hollis. You have millions that mis you. I am sure glad your children, and the rest of the world, have your music to remember you by.

[callmewheels]

I’m grateful that I grew up in the 80’s. This is such good music.

[Pa-tkdx]

The part with the ostrich running is for me one of the most iconic images/sounds in music.

This song is a masterpeice

[cheryl]

I searched for this song, found it, and now I'm crying. A salute to Mark Hollis.

[BrobleYT]

What a powerful fucking song. The way the verse and chorus contrast with each other, and that single chord at the end of the last line of the verse that bridges the two and signals a change of tone... just phenomenal songwriting. Every aspiring writer of pop songs should take note of what this song does right.

[KimmyKettler-ifbz]

Man this is such an amazing band! Mark Hollis' voice was phenomenal! The haunting synthesizer sound ! I can't put in words how great this is !

[korinaallen]

RIP Eric Vaughn Allen. 11/19/97 to 02/13/24. He loved this song. ❤️ He took his own life, and it has devastated me and his family. He loved going to Walmart and going out to eat. But, he was just as happy staying at home and eating noodles. His departure was sudden. But, he'd been battling depression for years and suicidal ideation. We feel as if we've failed him. He loved animals. Especially cats. He loved his computer. I write this in memory of him. On his favorite song. I will always love and miss him. I can't wait to see him in heaven. He's finally at peace, with his kitties that passed away.

[DSharpe-bous]

I miss you Dad, I think about you everyday! I love you, thank you for everything you have shown and taught me. ❤
