Talk Talk were an English musical group, active from 1981 to 1991. The group was part of the English New Wave movement that included bands like Duran Duran and had a string of early hit singles including "Today", "Talk Talk", "It's My Life", "Such a Shame", and "Dum Dum Girl". Always uncomfortable with the requirements and pressure of the pop industry, Talk Talk moved away from synthpop toward more experimental music in the mid-1980s. A few more singles, including "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World", achieved success in Europe and in the UK, but their commercial appeal receded quickly as their critical reputation increased.
The band broke up in 1991. Singer Mark Hollis released one solo album before retiring from the music industry. Founding bass player and drummer Paul Webb and Lee Harris played in a couple of bands together; de facto fourth member Tim Friese-Greene continued in the business as a musician and producer. Their final two albums, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, were highly acclaimed and remain influential to experimental alternative rock genres, especially post-rock.25 years after the release of what The Guardian called their masterpiece (1988's Spirit of Eden), Talk Talk was still praised as a classic example of a band refusing to compromise its art to commercial pressure, and Hollis and his bandmates are seen as some of the more interesting acts to come out of the synthpop movement of the 1980s.
------This is a special gift for myself,as it's a special day for me.Trying to make this creation much more special I did something individual,so.. here in this 12" Extended Mix,you can listen to a very special "Vinyl Version Sound" with a great wave amplitude and with a very light equalisation process that will excite you from the very first seconds.(Recorded by using: Technics SL1200 MK2 turntable with a Stanton 680EL Cartridge, NUMARK-C3FX mixing console,and ROTEL RC-995 Pre-Amp, "Acoustica's Spin It Again" software) ------ deep46blue
"It's My Life" was written by Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene, it was the title track on the band's second album and released as its first single in January 1984. It reached #46 in the UK charts, but did better in several other countries, reaching #33 in Germany, #32 in New Zealand, #25 in France and #7 in Italy; and was also a success in North America, entering the Top 40 in both US and Canada (peaking notably at #1 in the Hot Dance Club Play).
The single was re-released in the UK in 1985, but this time only reached #93. However, in 1990, "It's My Life" was reissued again to promote the compilation album Natural History: The Very Best of Talk Talk. This time, the song was a hit in the UK, reaching #13, the band's highest chart-placing single in its native country.
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..
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'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
