The 80’s....probably the best music ever written.

Is no one else listening to this right now? It’s kinda perfect...

The production on this track is ridiculously good. Best listened to with headphones on, guaranteed you'll hear something new everytime

the beautiful dark side of Duran Duran........ and to this day still love it

Simon Le Bon is looking fine as shit in this video and I am still listening to this song 40 years later! Can I get a hell yeah!

I love Simon and Nick with black hair!!!❤️❤️❤️

How can you not love a video that starts with the subway train?

Duran Duran with a Dark touch..... I'm in.

The supreme epitome of 80s sophistication, excess, and decadence, wrapped deliciously in this stunning track...🤗💋

What can you say? It's art at it's best after all these years! Timeless!

Nick Rhodes was and still is the heart of Duran Duran. He's the only member together with Simon, wo never leaved. He's so precious.

Simon Nick Roger John Andy, I'm still obsessed with everything they do, they got me through my rough childhood. My love for them is eternal.

DD was such a good group that when they split in two they were still two hit groups. Didn't drop a stitch.

Arcadia was such a fantastic project! Love Nick Rhodes!

One of the most original pieces of music ever. Pure genius.

Man! I wish They still made shit like this today :(

Fuck - I miss the 80's.

I love Arcadia! When it first came out on MTV it was like feeling elated, life seem a dream come true, poetry turned nasty and wicked! Divine Indeed!

Grace Jones is still one of the Greatest Music Icons of all time. In 1978 she invited Bernard Edwards & Nile Rogers of Chic as her special Guests at Studio 54 and they weren't allowed in. They were so angry they went home and wrote a "F@ck You!" type of song which of course would later be Le Freak. In later years Nile Rogers would later work with Duran Duran after Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor left. In the UK his music still resonates. On Popstars 2 The Rivals The Female Contestants sang We Are Family, Steps a Co-Ed Group did Everybody Dance, as did Kimberely Walsh of Girls Aloud.

"So Red The Rose" is one of the greatest albums of all time

What a masterpiece of video art!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

This album had a great line-up as well. Grace Jones, David Gilmore, Sting. It's a true classic. You really need to hear it from beginning to end.

Nick is 🔥. I listened to the album so much back in the day. Good times and better music

43 years old and convinced this to is another beautifully-jewel amazing extraordinary top song. Anything else?

Duran Duran was awesome, Power Station was super awesome, Arcadia was epic!

The Arcadia project was a brilliant piece of work--the best Duran album never made by the band. A quirky piece of art in both the music and the album's artwork--comes close to a Rio cover as any does. If John and Andy Taylor let themselves be a part of the project along with Grace Jones, David Gilmore, and Sting plus many more of great contributors--the album would have been way ahead of the time considering how many artists now appear on songs (adding nothing near to this). With Arcadia so much was added with the collaborations, like Sting on "The Promise"---his voice harmonized with Simon's perfectly. So Red The Rose is the perfect fit between Seven and the Ragged Tiger and Notorious. In fact, I believe that "A View To A Kill" owes much to Arcadia's sound more than just adding John's brilliant bass and Andy's gifted guitar work to it. "A View To A Kill" is the most popular of the Bond themes and the most successful. Think of "Election Day" with Andy's rhythm guitar and John Taylor working with Sting on the bass. Sadly this was one of producer Alex Sadkin's (who also helmed Seven and the Ragged Tiger) last projects before his fatal accident--his last production gig was with Thompson Twins "Lay Your Hands On Me" the original UK single version. Funny that Duran worked with Nile Rodgers on "A View To A Kill" and the album Notorious and also worked with TT on the album Here's To Future Days which was to be a Sadkin production. Take the b-side to "Union Of The Snake", "Secret Oktober" as an omen to So Red The Rose---only Simon picked out a piece of poetry from his notebook, then Nick and he worked it out with Alex as the rest of the band had left Australia and the label wanted a non-album b-side. "Secret Oktober" is one of my favorite Duran b-side of all time.

Goosebumps all over, still in 2022. This song is insane...

A beautiful masterpiece of visual brilliance & instrumental vocal opulence!

Simon and Nick top of the top look for a vampire movie

Get in this time machine, we're going back to the 80's whether you like it or not

In 2005, I was fortunate enough to meet Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes. I told them both what I always thought. I told them that, So Red The Rose was a masterpiece. I still think that. Lyrically and musically.....pure art. They were both gracious with my acknowledgment.

Gotta love Simon's new wave walk

I remember immediately rushing to the store to get this cassette. Yes, I got this on Capitol cassette with Extended Dynamic Range. Thank goodness I also have it on LP now. Saw where Simon L. recently purchased this LP at a independent record store because he was so proud of this project and always wanted to own it.

Within 30 years this is still good, and I don't have a clue why. It's perfect, catchy and awesome..

Beautyful Nick Rhodes!!!!!Innovating production......

She's moody and grey, she's mean and she's restless.... What great lyrics

This song is so fabulous!

The older second table lady, Young girl at the end, including the wall hidden elderly man and "Grace Jones" complimented this video smack dab in the 80s YEAH 1985 DuranDuran/Arcadia

80's masterpiece... music, art, film... brilliant.

So Red The Rose is one of the best albums of all time. Innovative, revolutionary, etc.

Incredible art direction, the album's graphics are all over this video. Brava.

i totally LOVE LOVE this song!! damn Simon n Nick are just fucking mesmerizing to stare at!! im going to Duran Duran concert for the 1st time tmrw!!! i should have went to it since the 80s! i lived them since the very beginning of MTV days!! mtv was sooo grear bk then bc they played dd a lot n had them as guest vj with Andy Warhol!! i remember recording The Reflex on my Sony Betamax n rewinding to drool over John and Simon like with pounding heart!! i really miss my 80s!! BEST decade ever!! i feel bad for kids who totally miss it!! when the hair was big, clothes were colorful and music was bad ass!!! i love john, simon n Nick 4ever!!!

Strange how after 30+ years this album is back in heavy rotation in my car. The first 4 songs on this album are excellent - the rest is good but I have to be in the mood for it.

Just oozes class. Magnificent

This video was On Fire then and is Still on Fire! This Is Real Music!!

...it was just after i pressed play that i was instantly transported back to the 80's! A time when i had hair like john taylor and eye liner & make up like nick rhodes. Now all i have is a bald head and a pocket full of careless memories

This is where Nick Rhodes was at the height of his guyliner kingness! I have spoken!

Just discovered this video last week. The 1980s were a great time for videos and only now have I learned that this was maybe the best. The song is out and out magnificent, and you're right, nobody writes 'em like this anymore. Extra stars for Simon Le Bon's dancing.

I just played this song from Tidal in my new audio system and it sounds absolutely top notch. 35 years went pass, the sound quality and mixing is still out of ordinary. One of my most favorite Duran's track...

The wise men knew. Who lived this time, knows all the emotion of that moment and that Duran Duran and in this project "Arcadia", captured the emotion of a generation with real music. I know I lived.

EPIC ----love simon's vocals on this

I really miss the 80s. D2 was unironically my favorite band as a little kid.

MY GOD!! I had forgotten what a brilliant track this was.....

The instrumental melody is absolutely brilliant. Love this unbelievable song!

Takes me back to 85 i was 18 years old and this song is gold awesome side project for Simon and Nick 🎹🎤

Thanks so much for this,back in my day this was so awesome.Having to wait for hours waiting to see this video on MTV. Now you just press a button, LOL!!!

💙 I Love this song and video.🔥🔥🔥 Miss the 80s so much.

I've LOVED this song for soooooo long!!

Always loved this version. So art school, pretentious and theatrical - it's awesome. So Red The Rose 🌹

An 80's Mashup of great sounds! I loved this album as a kid!

Who is listening to this on Nov 3, 2020?

I love it, it's like one big long Obsession cologne commercial!

Also must say they were the masters of video. Mini stories in everyone of their videos.

There is no time machine... But there is youtube....

Happy Election day 2020! The Simon and Nick ticket get my vote.

"Maybe we have more playtime than money" I always loved that line & it suited me then as it does right now.

This is now a classic,one of '80s cream of the crop.

It has a great sound, and it ties the old Duran Duran style to a new band.

After nearly 30yrs nothing comes close in music than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was back there again! I miss the great music that was da 80s! DURAN DURAN 4ever and da rest.

Impresionante!!!!! . Que aprendan las nuevas generaciones lo que es MUSICA!!!! , No hay palabras para describir esta obra maestra , se adelantaron 30 años en el tiempo

I think almost 30 years I forgot this song..I love this song ...Thank you for YOU TUBE

still gives me chills

This is what real art looks like; both the song and the video.

Grace Jones was there too... I remember when this track came out. Smooth dancing with Ladies!

Love that feeling way back in the 80's, I was imitating their hairstyles and eyeliner way back in high school.

I played this album to death in college! So restless indeed...

After all these years, still love this side project they did.

F'n AWESOME!! Saw them in Portland @ the Rose Garden years ago... Good to see them..

Duran Duran/Arcadia videos were always highbrow and artsy. Love that.

Of all the Duran spin-offs (been a fan since 1981 and saw them live in 1982!) this is the most 'Duran' sounding! Entire album amazing but I adore this song. 'Power Station' were good, too. Stunned at how gorgeous Nick Rhodes is here...and my favourite was always John Taylor! 😂

nunca habia escuchado esta version, es como estrenarla de nuevo y me encanta no pude dejar de moverme en mi silla gracias por compartirlo, saludos desde Mexico

My GOD. I can't tell you how much I love this song. "Are you aware, you're being illegal?" #2016

Wow i remember jammin this in my 2 dr 71 dodge dart my sr year. Cannot compete with system in 92. Ranger supercab. I wont call it a religious experience but close. DD is and still is!!

Bought the 12inch straight away back in the 80's! Masterpiece! Duran going underground and did it well!!!! I'm 45 now and still this is one of my favourites of the 80's. Going to see Duran this year in Night at the Park, The Hague. Love this track to today!

I guess Simon is just about the sexiest man I have ever laid eyes on ;)

Sometimes I feel like I'm a strange individual who listens to 80s music. It's my treasure from the past. I let them be. I don't envy them for the music they listen to. When they ask me what kind of music I do listen to I just say "oh! Preferably music from the 80s, but don't mind; sure you don't know them".

God, when this got out it had me uhngggg breathless...rushed to the recordshop the very next day and ordered the 12" (it wasn't available yet....oh, bless the days you had to wait for something iso instant gratification.....) I still have the 12" and whenever this song comes along I still have that excitement of "bloody hell, this is da bomb!!!"

Wow it's my first song of arcadia I've ever heard and I love it! Very nice! I think I love this band. Nick looks in this video really great! especially the white stripes in his hair. For me is this band better than Duran Duran.

One of the best albums of the 80's, period! There are so many layers to 'So Red the Rose' - it was way ahead of it's time. Even though it sounds so much like it came from the 80's, there's so much going on in the music. Completely underrated and deserves much more credit than any Duran album (no offense meant).

Wow this song is 39 years old 🎸🤘 next year it will be the Big 40 yahoo i remu hearing it for the first time back in 85 i was 18 yrs old and that's ehen I got into the Goth scene because of Simon and Nick 🤘🤘🎤🎹

Nick Rhodes just looks utterly gorgeous here!

The perfect song for today

OMG........ i love Simon's smile at the last part, so gorgeous!!! ^_^

Simon and Nick with this black hair is...something else. The whole look of this video is really interesting and unique. I'm not sure what I was doing when this came out but I missed it. Thankful for KZfaq right now.

Such a cool tune ....the 80's ... Great times

absolute and pure CLASS!!!! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

September 2021 and I still love these guys.

one of the best album of the '80 SO RED THE ROSE - ARCADIA

This is the appropriate song for today
