SCRITTI POLITTI - IT'S A WORLD COME BACK TO LIFE - .wmv 

I contacted David Gamson on Messenger (yeah we are friends at FB) and I told him how much I love the track. The immediate reply from him was this: This is What re said: ”Thanks Daniel! Much appreciated. Funny...at the time we were not feeling that song (which is why it ended up as a b side). But many people do seem to like it. The repetitive lyric drive me crazy at the time....now I kinda like it. Anyway....definitely don't remember the chords. I could probably figure it out if I take a listen. Stay tuned.” He’s really a great guy and what can I say… having a word with my idol back in time was really something special 🤩. A World Come Back To Life will always be my favorite Scritti song ❤️…

This is the ultimate Scritti Politti production. Gamson nailed it totally 😍. Chord progressions, in and out of different synth sounds etc…

Its a beautiful song! Its pure Dave Gamson!

One of Scritti's best songs ever - amazing it was a b-side! (Wanna hear the b-side, b-side, b-side...)

What a voice Green.

Oh my gosh Green should sing with Paddy Mcaloon what a treasure that would be ✨✨ x x

I have it on the cassette B-side of "Oh Patti." I picked this up at Tower Records in San Francisco back in the early 90's, on one walk up to North Beach one Friday evening. I thought I found Gold!

Mr Green Gartside, one of the best songwriters of all time! Sounds so fresh!

This is a perfect 80s song! Undiscovered gem which everyone would love

Listen to the bass here... 2:56-2:59.. It's so so groovy... LOVE IT.. By the way. This is the ultimate Scritti Politti song..

Wonderful 80s group that had little airplay in the U.S., the band leader was, believe it or not, stage shy, though he had an incredible voice 😊

This is a great song. It should have been a mega-hit!

Yet another brilliant song from Scritti Politti. They were amazing.

This was THE sound of the 80's and it still sounds incredible.

Wicked chord progressions and a hook that is permanently wedged in my brain!! More SP brilliance!!

This is brilliant stuff, wonderfully arranged, delightfully catchy, with a bass line Mark King would be proud of.

love me some scritti

Should be included ON Provision which was a highly underrated album. It would have complimented tracks: Lovesick, Overnite, All That We Are and the beautiful Oh Patti.

i still cant stop playing this song. my new anthem !

Surely one of the greatest B-sides of all time (to "Boom! There She Was"). The care Green-Gamson-Maher lavished on every keyboard riff and drum hit is just awe-inspiring, listen how they shaped the envelope of every sound to get out of the way of the next phrase (e.g. just the seven seconds 2:22 on), without it feeling choppy or rushed. Truly a "microscopes at 100×" effort. The song is on the Scritti Politti fan site bibbly-o-tek, but get the 12-inch, I guarantee you'll cherish it.

Ranking Number 1. Supreme, this is just impossible that music can be this future impact , way Ahead. Of time ..... infact this vibe doesn't belong on this plannet . Sounds of the Gods ..

Scrittti Poliitti sounding so fresh. I'm not going anywhere!

So many hits from this group. It could be raining outside and thunderstorms, this song brings blue summer skies. Great memories from this song.even the b-sides rock.

It's not a hook in this song, it's a spear!! Scritti brilliance!!!

This is sophisti-pop at it's VERY BEST!!

"Take it That".....love that part. Can't stop playing this song!

I been likeing scritti politti sence 84 this is my first time hearing yhis and of course I like it!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a gorgeous song. I wonder if it would have been better to close the "Provision" album with this song, rather than "Philosophy Now." Just a thought.

Outstanding. I hadn't heard this before.

They really made sequencers work for em

B side wins again, 80s till the end baby- BEST decade- all great men and women were in there

incredible rich production

Arif Mardin (R.I.P. 2006) produced Cupid & Psyche 85's "Wood Beez", "Absolute", and "Don't Work That Hard", but around Provision Green Gartside and David Gamson produced everything (plus John Potoker on "Best Thing Ever").

I love Green Gartside voice. So fantastic and amacing music in my ear 💟

Love this song!!! Come back Scritti P!

So gorgeous!

Classic Scritti!

Superb !

should of been on the album, what a song!

"A world come back to life" from the US version of "Boom there she was" and ""First Boy in This Town (Lovesick)". The ultimate Scritti song, from production, lyrics and groove.

80s music only and for ever

Should get released as a single now.

The voice of Green Gartside is beautiful, i love this song !

i cant stop playing this song!!!!

Thanks you for this!!!!🥰

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

i love this song!!!

Bassi, is just Devine , in the licks . But trying hard to catch up with Green . Super, visions

What a song , never heard it before was confused cause it has the artwork for provision.I absolutely love scritti.My favorite group of all time.The production is so tight n funky love .I was obsessed with them from the age of 9 when it came out.My first love was prince with the parade album an then purple rain when I caught up.This really ups it for me in terms of production when I listen now.Born 79 real Walkman child xx

Fantastic

Great song by Green/Gamson,too good for a B side,wish it was on provision,but we can hear it on here,great track Green,vocally brilliant.

Wonderful to hear this in 2019! A lost gem! Anyone have a HQ download ? mp3?

Too cool to be true

@pmsan29 .... It was the B-side of the 7" and cassette singles as well.

Provision would be one of my Desert Islasnd discs. Brilliant. And I still think it's a terrible front cover though...

djrobert in Finland i lovit this!

Bought this on 45 when it came out and absolutely LOVE the production values from this period that you so perfectly describe above. Can you post the 12" version here?

Underrated B-Side

Why haven't I heard this before when I have the Provision album?

OMG! That’s such a great song. ❤

1989!

You peel this song back in layers... you notice theres no real repitition .. always a slight variation...a sneaky cymbal here and there...the synth changes....percussion changes backing singers....i wish somebody could get Green to talk about his music just as they did with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.

I like it .if you call it a illness .it sure is pleasant.

Beats on Destiny album Eletric Lady 🌟 CK 🌟 💓

Whatttt . Go on Green , simply just out world Heaven

Like a dart into the realm of smarts

How good were they that THIS was a b side?

and arif mardin the king of the right sound!!

Why was this song not on the Scritti Politti Provision cd?

Gamson left his mark for sure ... he was involved in the self entitled album by Tony Le Mans .

The 80 s are back

I can stop playing a song

Does anyone know the synthesizers, percussion programming, and techique gamson used, I'd love to emulate this fresh sound for my own productions!

The version on the B-side of the 12" is 3:48 long, so it's probably "the same" as this track. I'm referring to the quality of the sound of a good vinyl pressing played on a decent turntable (e.g. Rega) through full-range speakers, it's somehow very special. I think.

Adam young owes alot to Green's vocal style . whether he knows it or not x

The wold is coming back to life good buy covid take a hike

Why wasn't this on Provision?

Tawatha Agee of Mtume provided backing vocals.

It's a world come back to life Since you went away It's a world come back to life Since I left you It's a world come back to life My little girl It's a world come back to life Since I left you, baby It's a world come back to life uh-huh Since you went away It's a world come back to life Since I left you It's a world come back to life My little girl (little girl) It's a world come back to life Since I left you baby It's a world come back to life Since I left you girl A world come back to life Since I left you baby - ohh Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, huh baby Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, now baby Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, baby, baby An' I can live to love again, uhh Since you went away I can live to love again Since I left you Got to live and love again, my little girl (little girl) I got to live and love again Since I left you, baby Got to live and love again since I left you girl To live and love again Since I left you baby, ohh Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, ow baby Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, oh baby Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, baby, baby It's a world come back to life Since I left you, girl A world come back to life Since I left you baby - ohh Don't bother giving my heart away (won't you lil' girl) Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, now baby Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, oh baby Don't let 'em give my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, baby, baby Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, my baby Don't let them give my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, oh baby Don't bother giving my heart away Take it that somebody else has beat you to it, baby, baby

There's no "It's" in the title.... it's simply "A World Come Back to Life."

Delicious

Slammo slappy slurps.

djrobert in Finland hello!this is staff!

This fucking band ❤️❤️❤️❤️

No, it is on the b-side of Boom there she was.

Wow wow. Never heard this before. Which album is this from??? Really awesome track!!! PS: OK, it's a B side. :)

Is this a B Side? I know almost all of Scritti's songs

Would be nice if someone had the personel of the song

The B side of "Oh Patty." if you were lucky enough to get it.

Now you 'kids' realize what the 80s were all about, huh?

This is amazing - though I think instead of "beat you to it" it should have been "made you jealous" 🤣

@FeelGood30 you have the right nick too... this was the feelgood music :) but remember... Scritti is Green, but David Gamson too, and Fred Maher :)

hey whaskell6, it's a common and very pleasant illness i think :)))
