Back in the Edge days - we used to dance until 3am closure with no liquid courage. Nowadays, it takes at least three shots to even get my body to react to a song 🤣
@seranelle The band member who committed suicide wan Ian Curtis in 1979. That band was called Joy Division. Bernard Sumner was a member of the band and replaced the singer. They changed their name to New Order and added Gillian Gilbert, the drummers girlfriend. The couple, Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris, created this band, The Other Two as a side project.
Love it. it was played on WVBC, Bethany college, back in the better days of radio, and on Underground Groove Radio, which still plays it. Very happy to see it here.
Got this mix from a mix CD i picked up back in the import racing days, from a local bay area dj crew, must've been san mateo or pleasanton. Selfish by the Other Two, and it was the first track with a way higher bpm count and it wasn't in this key. Thanks for posting. It was such an inspiration melody of the times, lots of hope and lots of bling and lots of new styles hittin the market. Circa 1998.
I remember vacationing in the Philippines in 1995 for 2 months was when I first heard this song. I go to the vinyl store to pick up a copy, but the "pop" remix is not out yet. I pass by this store a couple of times the next couple of weeks until they come out with the 12" Ssingle and finally have my copy! Fast forward 3 years later and I can't find my copy! Thank god for RU-vid!
Someone I hate, she thinks she's great And loves to state the obvious You're next to me, entirely, let's wait and see Someone like you, selfish it's true All you can do It's plain to see, entirely, you disagree No sense of reason, I think it's true Why did you have to believe them No sense of reason, what do I have to do? There's no-one else you're deceiving Sometimes it's true, forgiving you is hard to do It's crystal clear, could end in tears And not something I can feel sure of No sense of reason some think it's true Why did you have to believe them No sense of reason, what do I have to do There's no one else No sense of reason some think it's true Why did you have to believe them No sense of reason, what do I have to do? There's no one else you're deceiving No sense of reason some think it's true, why did you have to believe them? No sense of reason what do I have to do? There's no one else You're deceiving No sense of reason some think it's true Why did you have to believe them No sense of reason, what do I have to do There's no one else you're deceiving
Tbh, when i searched for selfish the other two this is what i was looking for because this was the first that i heard instead of the original. It's just today that I knew that this was just a remix i thought this was the original.
Thank you.. friend's in the club we went to: Manray - Cambridge, Mass, U.S. had a "nickname for this song" ( based on the happy music but REALLY mean lyrics: called it fondly as the _ _ _ _ y song... too rude to post.. be we loved the nickname, the fact that it was 2 members of New Order and THIS mix all made us run to the center of the dancefloor
Tell me about it!!! I was just drag-netting the internet last night for something, somewhere...maybe an mp3 of this tune is buried in some gem-mine of a blog somewhere! If someone finds the 'original' or 'radio' or 12"/non-remixed version, let me know! xxx
the girl is gillian gilbert and she was one of the band members girlfriends so none of them had gender reassignment, one of the members did committ suicide and was replace but i don't remember who.
