If you know this account, you'll surely know that 1. I'm a nightlife stan and 2. Today the boys perform in Chile (and obviously as your server, I'll go) so I'll be tweeting my journey along the day. Check it!
Pet Shop Boys - Nightlife (1999)
"It's sort of modern pop-dance version of one of those*, really, where a lot of the songs are about relationships, or waiting for your lover to come and see you, or wondering why something went wrong and a lot of it seems to happen at night, when people's perceptions of life are different. In the middle of the night things seem more exaggerated – something bad seems worse, something good seems better."
ok I said it in that tag but listening to pet shop boys' discography really is loving a song for how moving the lyrics and the music are and then looking up what it's about/inspired by and going "neil and chris are you two alright or..."
Neil and Chris standing in front of the Liberation simulation ride in 1994. The ride was essentially a flight simulator that allowed you to "fly" through the music video for the single "Liberation" from their 1993 album Very. It was used as a form of promotion for the single.
Q: Are you a big believer in love?
A: I am, actually.
Q: What about sex?
A: Of course.
Q: Is it an obsession?
A: Not really. (Pause) I can have casual sex.
Q: Is touring advantageous in that area?
A: It can be. It depends on how long you’re in one place, doesn’t it? (Laughs) Maybe I’ll have a T-shirt for the tour made up: “I Can Have Casual Sex.”
Q: Have you ever had sex with Chris?
A: Have sex with him? (Laughs) No, never.
