Pet Shop Boys - My October Symphony (Official Audio) 

So many memories of my early teenage years. Listening to the Behaviour CD in bed while falling to sleep.

One of their best underrated songs

It's October! Time for the annual tradition of all Pet Shop Boys fans listening to this masterpiece. Best regards to Neil and Chris.

When history becomes inspiration for a masterpiece. This song is the essence of the Pet Shop Boys: accessible and high art at the same time, in a perfect balance

One of my favorite PSB tracks ever! such a masterpiece....

How can one downvote such masterpiece? How can you expect to be taken seriously?

This whole album actually cassette tape got me through the Gulf War for sure!!!!

One of the best songs ever made and often overlooked.

One of my favorite songs of theirs. So moody and chilly. Like an autumn day

My favourite PSB track of all time.

The best album ever !!! 🇧🇷

that violin section 4:43 is brilliant !

October 1990: the world was at my feet and this was in my car's CD player. Life was good.

Soundtrack of my sweet UK life back then.

Such a beautiful song, and with Johnny Marr on guitar!

My favourite PSB track , soulful , melancholic and the great Johnny Marr.

Tears of joy are streaming down my face as I think of the first time I ever heard this song. Those were some of the greatest days of my youth...I love the Pet Shop Boys forever!! xx

One of the best PSB tracks, ever. What a masterpiece.

Very beautiful song ! ♥️ Johnny Marr on guitar ✔️👌

Brilliant pop song, brilliant poetry, this is magical.

Absolutely exquisite production. What a song: the key changes, the background singers, the wa-wa guitar riffs…..WOW.

I love this song. Pet Shop Boys you are fantastic.

Bittersweet melancholic anthem. I fear dying only because I may not find this song in the next incarnation.

Back in October 1990, when this album was released, I was working in a hotel in the Channel Islands. I had no way of listening to the album as I had no cd, cassette or record player. So I used to ‘borrow’ the hire cars, returned by hotel guests, from the hotel car park and drive around the island listening to the cassette in the evenings. ‘Driving through the night, it’s so exciting....’

Absolutely brilliant track from my favourite PSB album- Behaviour

Still one of my favourite moments on Behaviour! Thank you for uploading!

Classical ... This lyrics is Poetry to Me ... a Hymn ... Perfection .... My October Symphony ... Forever ... Pet Shop Boys ...

Just discovered this beautiful song.

This is Classic! Amazing song!

It's October again .... listening to this classic and remembering years gone and how awesome the Pet Shop boys still are. Thanks and best wishes to Chris and Neil.

La mejor mezcla entre melancolía, elegancia, violines, bateria y el alucinante efecto Guaguaguagua de Jhonny Marr.....tremendo!

Perfect Song ...

Beautiful album 🥰

Beautiful song!!!!!❤️💕❤️😄🎵🎶

This is actually one of my favourite PSB songs of all time.... maybe because I'm born in October... a month that's rarely considered as special....even a little dreary....

Classic Shop. I'm bummed my plans to see PSB & New Order at the Gorge in Washington state this fall are probably not gonna happen. I hope PSB & New Order reschedule their tour together as that's a double bill I need to see.

¡¡Pet shop boys forever in me!!

Perfect harmony.

Like every other year, this song crossed my mind today. ❤

Such a elegant and beautiful sound great times. "So much confusion"...

Whoooooow lo máximo siempre me sorprenden los pet shop boys, son unos ángeles cantando en la tierra. Por muchísimos años más son mis héroes.

Easily my favourite PSB track.

Beautiful song.

nie będę się rozpisywał ale na jesień uwielbiam ten utwór. taka jesienna harmonia. uwielbiam te skrzypce na końcu...

I love this song, is one of my sentimental favorites. I found it very moving every time I listen to it. The string arrangement makes me go out of this world. Such a fine song, such deep insight I got while listening.

Ever since 2015 I listen to this song whenever October comes around!!

I remember that I bought the Behaviour cassette where my mother at the Standa department store worked and then I was listening all day long to this wonderful record with my walkman...

Pet Shop Boys insuperáveis. São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro. 🇧🇷

🎤🎙🎶🎵 Simplesmente Maravilhosa, como eu amoooo essa música, quantas lembranças boas. Muito obrigada por compartilhar com seus fãs.👏👏👏👏🇧🇷💛💚

Reminds me a lot of "Boring" which i also love!

Strikingly beautiful song…moves the body and soul--I love the live version from Performance too(it just shows another layer of this masterpiece)✨

Desde à minha mocidade,e escuto todos os dias,obrigado pet shop boys.E felicidades a todos.))))))))))))

Masterpiece

Столько смятения С приходом осени. Как быть с октябрем? Как улыбаться, хмурясь? Так трудно прийти в себя... Это просто ошеломительно. Отменят ли парад? Мы маршировали каждый октябрь... Теперь говорят, что нас никто и не спасал, Мы должны быть очень отважными. Должен ли я переписать, изменить Свою симфонию октября? Или следовать указанию и Отдать предпочтение не Революции, а Апокалипсису? И все мы пьем, покуда Листья падают на землю. Ведь мы размышляем над тем, Как октябрь подводит нас То и дело... Может, нам стоит вспомнить о Декабре вместо этого? Или волноваться о феврале? Оплакивать павших в бою, Забыв о красных? Должен ли я переписать, изменить Свою симфонию октября? Или следовать указанию и Отдать предпочтение не Революции, а Апокалипсису? Автор перевода - Владимир Румянцев. (Vlad.i.miR)

We studied this song in 6th year in English. The album Behaviour shouldn't have had a full stop at the end of it's title

Musica linda demais...só lembranças de coisas lindas. ❤❤❤

Still listening in 2023. Love Johnny Marr on Guitar on this track. Hopefully a good year in 2023! I will listen to PSB forever till I am no longer on earth, but I am sure I will hear it in HEAVEN!!!

ANGST...sweet & subtle ❤️

LOVE LOVE YOU... LOVE LOVE ...AMO... AMO...BROS... BREZIL...

nobody makes sophisticated intelligent synth pop like the Pet shop boys. But there were actually a lotta UK pop groups in the 80s making such. Very soulful and classy. But PSB always had a unique sound that had great versatility. They always had their ears & eys on gay clubs so knew how to make a great club banger as well as stunningly beautiful poignant ballads.

Amo essa música! Simplesmente Perfeita! 🇧🇷

運転中に聞くと、深い睡魔に襲われがちになる曲・・・

Great classic song- Chorus has a certain Morricone vibe 👍

This is one of my favorite boys masterpieces....love to cruise in the car with this beauty of music

you may think I'm crazy, but this song it's my Favorite Behavior. Quizás pensaran que estoy loco, pero esta es mi favorita del Behaviour.

just amazing and outstanding forever ## 1

Breve comentário sobre a música My October Symphony. A música faz parte do álbum Bahaviour. Neil vocalista dos Pet Shop Boys diz que essa música é sobre a Rússia. Ao escrever a letra, ele estava lendo um livro sobre a história da Rússia, e da ascensão e queda do comunismo. Durante o reinado do comunismo na Rússia, era comum que os artesãos criassem obras de arte oficiais para comemorar a da Revolução de Outubro - o levante bolchevique - e este é sobre um compositor de uma sinfonia. Ele escreve a partir do ponto de vista de um compositor que, após a queda do comunismo, tenta determinar se seu trabalho musical ainda é válido, dada a sua motivação política estar obviamente ultrapassada . A música foi escrita em Glasgow, na Escócia. Embora Neil tenha tocado guitarra na gravação da música,o trabalho final ficou por conta Johnny Marr ex- integrante dos The Smiths. Jay Henry também canta nessa entrelaçamento com vocais próprias de Neil em duas partes de harmonia. As peças foram feitas por cordas do Quarteto Balanescu, que também foram a ato de aquecimento para a turnê do álbum. O canto coral da música é da sinfonia Chostakovitch, é 'Outubro' em russo. As palavras se referem à Revolução de Outubro "Vamos preocupar em fevereiro? refere-se a fevereiro Revolução de 1917 na Rússia, quando a democracia de classe média parlamentar foi derrubado pelos bolcheviques. Novembro também é mencionada, e que foi o mês final da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Da mesma forma, a referência a pontos de dezembro para a famosa conspiração

The song is as soulful as "Go West". Both songs are sung on behalf of a post-Soviet citizen living in the early 90s, when the Iron Curtain had just fallen, when many Soviet people wanted to leave for the West in the hope of a brighter future. I remember those days, even though I was a teenager then. This song touches me very much for the soul. Tears of longing for Europe come to my eyes, as well as from "Go West".

Mmmm....simplemente esquisito escucharlos...💞

I have that BEHAVIOUR CD and i love that song.

Such a cozy and beautifully melancholic song... have a lovely October everyone. :)

I'm a nineteens teen remenber my self listening tape-record October Symphony, skipping the stop I need till records ended. That's wonderful and keeps inspiring me for 30 years.

This is marvelous! ♥

I've just listened to this good song for the first time. It's a little bit late to found it, but life just likes this. "We must be very brave!" Have a wonderful October!!!

I hope this album is on the list for top 500 of all time from Rolling Stone Magazine. It is a beautiful album that I listen to still in 2020 and What's Going On by Marvin Gaye the number one album of all time.

Melhor LP já lançado por eles.

Una de mis favoritas de mis PSB, una delicia de canción😍😍

Classic masterpiece

Pet Shop Boys’ most perfect song ever of them all? Quite probably.

Aaaahhhh... quantas lembranças!!!! Obrigado PSB por ter me proporcionado tanta beleza, tantas emoções com a sua Arte.

Grazie, grazie, infinitamente grazie Pet Shop Boys!

I remember when I first bought this CD. The guy at the register told me you will not be disappointed and he was right. I think every track is excellent that was back in 1990. Still listening in 2020. I did not know till later that Johnny Marr (The Smiths) is playing the guitar on a couple of tracks.

This album got me through some tough and glad times. Like unrequited love being lost and celebrating the coming out of a dear friend in the early 90's. Both strong emotions that will always be associated with this Album. Thanks

Muitas lembranças,saudades.....se desse pra voltar no tempo,faria tudo de novo!!

Minha trilha sonora de Vida: Pet Shop Boys🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹

So much confusion When autumn comes around What to do about October How to smile behind a frown? It's hard to settle down It's so bemusing Will they cancel the parade? We marched each October Now they say we were never even saved We must be very brave Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony? Or as an indication Change the dedication From revolution to revelation? So we're all drinking As leaves fall to the ground Because we've been thinking How October's let us down Then and now Shall we remember December instead? Or worry about February? Mourn our war-torn dead Never seeing red? Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony? Or as an indication Change the dedication From revolution to revelation?

My memory is this song: 1990, I was 12 years old sharing a bedroom with my older & younger brothers in Los Angeles. My older brother who was in High School bought the Behavior Cassette at our local Music Plus record store and played it from beginning to end on the stereo. We've been Petheads since "Please" in 1986 (thanks to our Uncle Adam who was very in-tune with the latest music, where we got our influence from),. As soon as my brother went out with his friends one Saturday afternoon, I quickly grabbed a blank Maxell tape, then his PSB Behavior cassette and made myself a copy. I played that tape in my Sony Walkman until it wore out. I saved up some cash, went to Music Plus and bought my own Cassette original. A month later we flew out of the country to visit relatives, and that behavior cassette helped me make it through the flight and became my soundtrack for that trip. That's until the So Hard Cassette Single released and realized that there were "extra songs" in it (B-Sides) like "It Must Be Obvious"... lots of memories flood in when I listen to this track!

Dopo di loro....gli omd.....li adoro tutti e due.....raffinati......❤❤❤❤👍🔝

..larga vida para los genios PSB..
