Lyrics
One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Well then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper, go talk to a friend
The history of the future
No violence or revenge
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows the infinite complexities of love
We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry don't we?
We all bleed and we smile
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows you're not to sacrifice the art of love
Your shame is never ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life
God only knows the infinite complexities of love
We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life
God only knows we're not to sacrifice the art of love
We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows the infinite complexities of love
You are guilty and how we ever entered into this life
God only knows the ultimate necessity of love.

Vince a legit genius from day one.

Yes, Vince is amazing! It doesn't take much to make electronic music, but real musicians (like Vince) take it to a whole new level.

@wetday2480 10 месяцев назад

As a 14-year-old boy in his bedroom in suburban Buffalo, New York, USA, this song (on a Toronto "alternative" radio station) spelled out everything for me the first morning that I heard it before school. It was the future; it was fun; it was out-of-this-world goofy with its electronic bleeps and bloops, and it made me so, so happy. Just yesterday, I bought from a second-hand site the stereo that I had when I first heard this song. My first album in about 26 years? "Wild" by Erasure.

I never thought I would say this but “they don’t make them like this anymore! “But they truly don’t. I have supported erasure from the get go and nobody has ever come along to replace them for me personally. They have such intelligence in their lyrics beyond anything that comes out today. Their songs are so beautifully put together. Clarke and Bell what a beautiful combination, sending shivers up and down my spine! Long may Erasure reign, they are still selling out concerts and making new music to this day. Vince may have worked with other artists But I think it is fair to say that after 35 years I think probably Andy Bell was the most successful! Thank you for the love and the memories Erasure you will always be in my heart. 🥰

@Deathtank75 Год назад

UK always had great musicians since forever, I think Pet Shop Boys are the closest to Erasure in more than one way.

@XXSkunkWorksXX Год назад

I do believe the young folks of today would call this a - ahem - banger! In my old fart, 51yr old vernacular I would just say it is perfect pop music. Vince Clarke can really fecking wring a tune out of those 80s/90s synthesizers!!!

@micktaylor9332 Год назад

There will never be another erasure. Just won't happen. and I'm ok with that.

@thinkofsomethingcooler Год назад

I think Vince Clark was the George Martin if the 80s except he performed all his own arrangements and we very much have music technology to thank for this, and I am so grateful! He’s really quite irreplaceable and although I will name Howard Jones and maybe Danny Elfman as contemporaries, I don’t think there’s another artist who truly blended art, arrangements, composition and style the way Vince could. And the choices to work with Alison and then Andy were inspired and sublime. There’s really no one since who has matched this. There are ppl who will do music from top to bottom, and it’s impressive, but it doesn’t have what Vince had. So much of what goes into music is the time it was created in, the technology, the innovation, the life experience, the current events, and ofc that individual’s knowledge and artistry - I don’t think all of these things could really exist in someone else. And this is probably why The Killers stole that Erasure song, bc they cannot write it on their own ;)

@albertojaa8551 Год назад

You really described it with the perception I wanted to express .. this song is powerful, intense,spoken in a ways that makes you reclaim the power of yours own self .. anyways cheers

This is the song that made me a devoted Erasure fan. So unique, so extravagant, so insanely energetic, so inspiring and inspirational, so crazily operatic, so powerful, so.... wonderfully DRAMATIC! I am 50 and I still love you like when I was 20 V and A!

@DavidRichardson-1982 9 месяцев назад

Just bought erasure, wild for me technics 1210s. I can play these tunes over and over again and they never make me or many of us tired of hearing them . I had the tape as a child and now I have the vinyl, just bought erasure wild on cd for me mam and sister too. We all love them and will never forget them and they remind us all of our younger days when music was made properly and put together properly. Erasure are totally excellent and I will never stop loving them. Mass respect to the erasure crew, both band members and erasure fans. RESPECT to each and every one of you

I heard this song RECENTLY, and I KNEW it was Obviously written/released in the 1980's, but, I could NOT recognize it as a song I'd known from my childhood. So I pull it up on RU-vid, played it like 4 times through, and FINALLY, it clicked in my head... ... ... And BAM, There it is... "God Only Knows" how many times my Mom and I jammed out to this Masterpiece! What a GREAT song!!!!! Love it, love you guys "Erasure"!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best songs Erasure have ever done which is saying something given how great their music is. Andy's vocals are commanding - the Gregorian chant he works into the word "never" is absolute magic. The synthesiser and his vocals are just on another level as this reaches its crescendo. Absolute maestros.
