One of those groups which although talented just never seems to have made it really big. A few hits but their songs never really seems to have caught on. And this is my apology for not doing a 1980's last weekend!
This video is full of symbolism and we seem to live in a culture where symbolism is no longer understood - everything has to be explained these days! But, I liked this video because well part of it is a story of me, part of it someone else. But, enjoy the symbolism:
Fixx frontman Cy Curnin reflected on its meaning in a 2008 interview:
"It was about looking at your own life, not so much about amassing material things but about experiences that lend you to be blissful... The song was written from the point of view of the release you get when you have nothing left to lose. It’s sort of a meditation. It clears your head of all fears and panics and illusions and you get back to the basics, which is a Buddhist mantra, which I practiced back then, and which I still do. The idea of the song is how great it is to get back to zero."
So figure out the symbolism yet?
