Lyrics:
You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day
To make my stand, oh oh
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand, oh oh
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the round-about
I sold the radio and TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting in the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't loose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
Oh the reflex what a game
He's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does

Simon LeBon must have suffered a lot from his dad's addiction to gambling. That's the message behind "reflex", and frankly, such lyrics should be studied in school classes. It was a modern and very intelligent way to "preach" the right path to follow. And what a poetic way to put it into music. Give us back the 80's.

Because in 1988 the boy band era started with groups like Bros and New kids on the block and rap, hip hop and rave/acid house dominated the charts. But between 1980 and the end of 1987 the music really rocked!

"Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution spent 24 consecutive weeks at Number One. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" spent TWO weeks at Number One, in America according to Billboard 100 in 1984. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" went double platinum while "Purple Rain" sold more than 17 million. WHAM's "Make It Big" sold six times platinum, also released in 1984. I don't think Duran Duran dominated 1984 by a long shot. A great year nonetheless.

After all these years, a masterpiece of pop songwriting such as this one never gets old! All 5 of them were really on top of their game here! Killer grooves between John's popping bass lines and Roger's ever steady beat. Cutting edge synth pads & those 'steel drum' samples from Nick and his Fairlight, killer cut and thrust power chords and rhythmically tight pluckings from Andy's guitars, topped off by a seemingly impossible melody ( ... And lyrics!) from Simon.... And here it is. My fav Duran Duran song ( together with Ordinary World!)... ever! And I was hooked in 1984. And thankfully so too! Happy Anniversary Duran Duran! Thank you for always being there!

I'm a metalhead for most of my life but I will forever love 80s music that I grew up on. I was showing my 9 year old daughter this at breakfast and explaining just how big of a band DD was and that before KZfaq, you sat and waited with a tape recorder by the radio for the song to come on or in front of the TV just waiting for the videos. It almost seems unfathomable how we did it because we live in such an instant gratification society but I think that it taught us discipline and appreciation for things for sure. I remember it like it was yesterday. These guys are actually an incredibly talented band too. John Taylor is a sick bassist.

Me too man. Metal and hip hop. But if it’s got a good bassline, I’m in. And these guys and others from this decade had that in droves. I also totally agree with what you said about instant gratification. I remember there was some George Michael video in the very early 90’s. Tyra Banks was in it, walking down a catwalk runway, nipple tassels on. We thought she was the hottest thing on the planet. So we sat around for like another 5 hours until the video came on again. We were like 10. 🤣 Lots of crap music in that span of time. But because of that day, I ended up going out and buying Check Your Head with my allowance money.

@KeremcanBuyuktaskin Жыл бұрын

I'm also a metalhead, probably because of DD. Before, I couldn't recognize different instruments in a song. I learned to differentiate by listening to a lot of DD, and especially discovering the bass was like a revelation. And the next step was metal naturally, as my ears were trained for it thanks to DD. Also I became a bassist later on thanks to John Taylor, and still to this day his bass lines amaze me.

Metal fan here also but can't help but appreciate the talent these guys had. John Taylor's bass work is excellent.

@iamzachinreallife 3 жыл бұрын

One of my impressions after giving this song a good listen is that John Taylor is a serially underrated bass player...he could throw down some serious bass lines.

@robsimmons6742 3 жыл бұрын

@k.chriscaldwell4141 3 жыл бұрын

So true. Duran Duran had a little funk in 'em. One of the reasons I like them so much. Pop music, but with a little Chic-like bass putting some hair on it. The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._

On this week, 40 years ago, Duran Duran topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with "The Reflex". It was one of two #1 singles of Duran Duran on the pop chart. If you're wondering what the other #1 was, it was "A View to a Kill", and I think "The Reflex" did a better chart run than "A View to a Kill", thus making it Duran Duran's biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

The very first time I heard or saw Duran Duran was with this video, when it first aired on MTV. I was in fifth grade and visiting a friend, and I had kind of an awakening. I grew up not being allowed to listen to secular music, so I'd never heard anything quite like this. The music was WOW, and they were the most beautiful people I'd ever seen at that point in time. I've been a fan ever since. I recently came across my old Notorious CD and have spent the last several days listening to and watching everything I can find online. Such good memories, such great music. Thanks.

@photoshoott2022 Жыл бұрын

I recall first time we heard this song, saw the video and enjoyed this sound of music. Great and so amazing. We were fans and still are. I was a teen in the 80s and then young adult. I was in high school and skipped last period so that we can drive out in the snow storm and see those guys in the concert and it was well worth it. Great concert. We were afraid that we will not make it, since it was terrible snow storm, but then realized that Duran Duran guys were delayed even more than the rest, so after a bit of hanging out and meeting some fun people in the audience, we got to see the delayed show. Amazing, loved the 80s and all the great memories that go with it.
