I agree. It's arguably their best song - lyrically and musically. And quintesentially Duran. The Smiths, Echo and Bunnymen, and others were always lauded for their literary, beautiful lyrics, but Simon LeBon wrote some of the most memorable, brilliant lyrics in the 80s (not sure if this one is his lyric).
Not sure about the connection between Simon's time on the kibbutz and alternative spirituality / thought. Must not have been a normal kibbutz then. They are fairly socialist / Jewish. I know he had a separate interest in the mind-body theories. |

Actually, as far as a New Wave/pop song goes, the lyrics really are brilliant. As an old fan of Duran Duran (not their current crap), I was always drawn to their lyrics, and musical compositions. They got a lot of flak for being pretty teen idols, but they had more substance than the crap being spewed today. |
