There’s something so damn emotional about this song 😭

30 years on. 1993-2023. This song NEVER grows old.

Perfect harmony, perfect sound, perfect voice, its a masterpiece.

I found my poor sweet big brother dead in his bed on 7/30/20. That was the most devastating day of my life. I don’t remember the first few days after. But the Sunday after I put on my brave face and went to clean out his room and get it ready to be emptied. For some reason the moment I opened his door this song came into my head. I hadn’t thought about or heard it in literal years but there it was strong and clear every note and lyric. I burst into tears with the perfection of how exactly it captured what I’m going through. Thanks Duran Duran. My brother loved this song when we were teens. We both did.

In my opinion this is the best song Duran Duran ever did.

My Mothers favorite song. She passed away in 2014. Im 49 this year and still think of her often. Spend as much time as you can with your loved one kids.

This song represents a wonderful era, which no longer exists. Everything has changed, everything is different. Beautiful memories are destined to be lost over time.

Whoever produced this song is a genius.

A wise man once said...when you are happy, you enjoy the melody but when you are broken, you understand the lyrics...amazing song.

A masterpiece, outstanding lyrics & melody.

This is my new favorite song for 2024. Helping me to survive

My god, where has this music gone? this is pure magic.

This is my favorite song by Duran Duran.

This song helped me through my darkest times.

The good old days have gone ♥️

One of the most personal, relatable, resonant songs ever created.

One of their best, and most emotional songs, by far.

Duran Duran ruled the 80s and forever ❤️❤️❤️

Pure, pure fire. This song hits like a tidal wave.

My husband passed away suddenly last week. 12/22/22. My heart is broken and this song has been on repeat at my house. Except for me it’s while I cry for yesterday. Thank you Duran Duran.

Ordinary World is the most beautiful song that Duran Duran ever recorded!

July 2024? 🇲🇽

One of the best songs EVER!

Among the 10 best hits from the 90s, an absolute masterpiece in every way you look at it.

I was 31 years of age when this song came out, and the same year my wife died. . . . "Where is my friend when I need you most" . . . I thought they wrote this song for me. . . . . . I had to learn to survive! Thank you Duran Duran.

I love this song! Definitely my number one song. Thank you Duran Duran!

Our beloved daughter Mary Ann, born 1974, died one week after her 49th birthday on September 29, 2023. She was a child of the 80's, but also loved music from the previous two decades - especially the Grateful Dead and CSN. I know she was into pop music when in middle and high school, Duran Duran being one of her favs. Losing her has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through, and I doubt I'll ever be over her death. Hug your loved ones every day, and tell them how much you love them while they can still hear you. Mom and I miss you very much, and we will continue loving you until we meet again. Love ya, Dad

Beautiful song. Thanks Duran Duran.

This song never gets old. This song represents the past present and future. Doesnt get any better. What a classic.

" beside the news of holy war and holy need - ours is just a little sorrowful"... words of WISDOM!!!❤

I’m 55 years old. And this song still sounds great. They don’t do tunes like this anymore! This could be my theme song 🎵 😢❤💔🙏🏽

This masterpiece deserves one billion views ☺🥰🤩

I’m a purist by heart and I refuse anything else. This track moves the ground beneath me...

These videos weren’t cheap to make.Great video

The best Duran song. So glad they came back for this album.

Duran Duran have an amazing back catalogue but this in my opinion is their best song ever. Magnificent

"Where is my friend when I need you most" - that lyric always hits me right in the heart!

It’s 2024 wishing it was 1984😢

I’m an 80’s boy - I played this song at my wife’s funeral this past March - I listen to this song to remind me that I need to keep going, keep navigating through the pain and get back to an ordinary world - so yes I’m still listening

Hard to believe there was a time where every week a song this good would be in in the charts.

This song is another level of music, by far their best. From it's message in the chorus'" I will learn to survive' to the mesmerizing guitar, to Simon Le Bon's perfect falsetto at the end. Simon said this song helped him to recover emotionally from the death of his friend David Miles. Amazing how powerful emotions can bring out greatness!

Mr. Paul my teacher at a facility I was in showed me this amazing song. And now I can't believe that if he wouldn't have showed this song to us I may have missed this masterpiece. Now I listen to this song so much. Thank you Mr. Paul! I am not able to use Messenger cause I deleted my account cause it was hacked and struggle a lot with myself but I have to say that I've listened to this song like 20,000 times. Thank you! And I hope he is doing good whereever he is I wish the best for him. And if you see this message on here, know I do care about you Mr. Paul! You were an amazing teacher and deserve more compensation for your works🖤 you're a true teacher to me🖤 Much love to you and all your family 🖤

Hello who's listening in June of 2024🎸🎸🎸 such a beautiful song wished that i could go back to 1993 💯💯💯

Quite simply,Duran Duran's finest song....almost 30 years later,this stops me in my tracks! A masterpiece 🙏

The moment you create a work of art like this, you become immortal.

If they don’t play this at my funeral… I’m not going 😎

#1 Band that will live Forever. I❤ Duran Duran!!!!❤❤❤❤

I picked out this song to be played at my dads funeral this past week, it felt appropriate. I’ll always remember the great memories we shared together. I’ll miss you dad! 😢

28 years later, and I'm still listening to this amazing song! I came home from my Dad's funeral in 1993, turned on the TV... And this video came on 😢 I was 16 and a half.. prophetic words I thought to myself 💪🏻

This has always been a song of loss and grief for me. There is no ordinary world after losing a loved one. Our worlds are changed. Maybe that is why we come together after a loss. If you have ever gone thru a deep loss it changes you. And for me it has given me a sense of empathy for others going thru the same experience. Grief is a very personal journey and has no timetable. But i KNOW we are not alone in it.

Hey I'm here in May 2024. Who else is listening?

Fact: This is Duran Duran's best song.

I've never been a fan of Duran Duran, but this song is simply a masterpiece in every way and I love it more and more as the years go by.

Ordinary world Music that speaks to the soul Where's my friend when I need you most ? Absolutely Spectacular Cheers Thank you very much indeed Kind regards

That song still brings tears to my eyes. Ever since it came out, back when I was 9 years old and going on ten in 1993.. I learned the pain of losing the love you cherished and fought for through this song. I had gone through so.much in life already at that age. Major health issues (diagnosed with Spina Bifida, very late at 8 years old, and it had already thrashed my body so much), feeling completely alone as classmates that i was close to made fun of my medical issues without remorse, and I never gave up fighting for my health and to maintain an active life.. Then upon getting older, best friends and close family that died tragic and sudden deaths.. experiencing the even more intense pain of finding love and losing it again and again.. then I found my Soul Mate at 23, got almost 1 year of unobstructed happiness with her and her daughter that I helped raise all of these years since and consider to be my daughter as well... my health got worse and everything i fought for my whole life started to crumble. Being a Pro Level Unsponsored skateboarder and surfer, playing every sport except ice hockey and some random ones like lacrosse and such and getting fucking good at them, a championship pitcher in baseball.. Rock climber, mountain biker, rally racer, etc etc etc.. . . my active life fell away and I was left with 24/7 pain in every way. mainly physically and emotionally.. Trying my best for my young family, failing over & over & over again to handle the pain in the right ways due to the onset of Bipolar Disorder that I figured out 5 years later was being caused by THC.. After I quit smoking weed, after my wife threw me out of our home, my mind started to clear and I could handle things in a sane and mature way.. We were still a family, thank God, but our relationship had suffered. So we were on again and off again for a few years as we lived apart. I kept fighting for my family and my Soul Mate. In 2014 we moved back in together after 3 years living apart, and I got my life back. Until mid-late 2016, when my wife's Mom started dying from cancer.. my wife started to retreat into her phone, became more distant, and started to get close to a co-worker who's over 18yrs younger than her & nearly 11 younger than me.. She starting cheating on me by about October/November of 2016, and this kid was acting like he was my friend, even though I could see what was happening.. I didn't have the strength left to fight anymore.. I couldn't fight for someone who had now broken every promise she ever made to me, lied straight faced, talked shit about me behind my back as though I was evil, even though I never stopped helping them with anything they ever needed and never gave up until that point. She threw me away that last time, and was openly sleeping with this virgin boy that also happens to be the pastiest, most pitiful, most cowardly little bitch boy that I've ever come across in my life. He constantly lied (and still does to everyone) to her and told her a bunch of bullshit sob stories for pity and then told her everything he thought she wanted to hear, all to destroy a family so he could finally get laid. ... honestly, the only reasons I didn't beat him to death was because I didn't wanna spend my life in prison, & she wasn't worth that anymore. A woman i would've died to protect without hesitation. What's fucked is that my heart is trapped with her. I still love her as much as I ever did, and of course still love our daughter with every ounce of my being. I would still sacrifice myself for either of them.. This song drags alll of that up inside me. 31 years of pain, of love, of tragedy and of triumph. This song encapsulates all of that period of my life.. And that makes it truly special to me, and probably to many others. The Wedding Album, by Duran Duran and of course Ordinary World.

“Where is the life that I recognize, gone away”. Couldn’t be truer right now.

What a masterpiece !

Anyone in 2024!❤

80's baby here who discovered this Masterpiece in my late 20's almost 20 years later this track gets continuous play in my playlist. My kids who were all born in the late 2000's & early 10's all love this song it goes to show that anyone from any age group can enjoy a great song.

I get chills listening to this!!!!! They don't make music like this anymore......the 80's are forever!!!!

One of the most beautiful song ever written.....'till the end of time.....oh warren great solo!!!!!

You know every time I hear this song I am reminded of what was going on the year it came out. It was in 1993.

Great song...such a departure from the pop music they were known for....this is an absolute classic!

Right before my wife passed away, she made me promise her that I would move on and find happiness again. During the rough years of grieving this song served as a reminder of a promise I made to someone who I love dearly to this day. That was many years ago. Today I have a loving wife and twins in high school. This song now serves as a reminder of a promise kept. This song still makes me cry.

Not that much of a Duran Duran fan, but this song is a MASTERPIECE, both lyrically and musically.

It's a shame the 80s died. I miss those days now more than ever. Things just aren't the way they used to be.

Duran Duran is a totally awesome band. 😊i like all of their songs.

The older i get the more the lyrics hit home, absolute beast of a song and absolutely soul cleansing, when i listen to it the dam wall breaks and the tears flow.

The sad thing is those days will never be again , the music and times were so good compared to now , everyone is crazy now , damn wished I could go back in time !!!!!!

I absolutely love this song!!!!❤

Gives me goosebumps still. Every time I hear this song...

This is simply the most perfect pop song of the last 30 years.Period.

Beautiful. Nostalgic. Timeless. 🥺

PERFECTION

This song has aged like fine wine.

This song captures the essence of what we all go through in life one way or another, including loss and change, new challenges and old regrets but somehow we will survive! Such a perfect song!

A song of Hope.

Baddass Jam 😎🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

This song was written in the sadness, and grief of the loss of his best friend. I feel this for the losses of my best friend and my daughter.

Songs like this is always hard to believe that people actually wrote it. It's just too good.

"ordinary world" Le Bon and Pavarotti together. spectacular version.

Who listening in 2024?

I suffered from deep depression from the ages 15-23. This song brings me back to that time, and reminds me how far I’ve come.

When we lose someone we love so much, or go through something that is so hard and a loss, this song tells us what to do. We must find the ordinary world and somehow relearn how to survive. What a gift.

I am in Bruges ...just come for a long weekend and it came on in a bar ...wasn't a D D fan but this record was superb beautiful words and means a lot ...❤

There's a reason this song plays in our minds. In my case, i would go outside to take photos alone. And alone i felt. It was unique, it was beautiful

This song reminds me of my parents when they were alive. Yes....sometimes I prefer to live in the past. I have no family now..... so my memories give me comfort. That is really all we have left sometimes.

This song is a masterpiece. Makes me a shudder in the body every time i hear it. Its one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.

Duran Duran: now and forever

The melody and chord progressions of this timeless song are achingly beautiful. One of the anthems of my youth.

I agree with the person who said that this is the best song that Duran Duran ever performed.

Congratulations to Duran Duran for their Induction into the Rock and Roll HOF. Its about time...thank you for this Song and meaning...🌎✌️👍🤜💥🤛

One of the best songs ever created.

July 2024- Saving my life rn. Not lying. DD saved my life in the 80’s. Thank God for music!!

We don’t search for old songs… we search for old memories.

"And I don't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive" This may be what everyone of us is feeling about those coronavirus days that seem never end. One of the greatest lyrics and songs from the 90's.

Wow, dieser Song, einfach genial👏👏👏👏

Omg Duran Duran is AMAZING🌟

I was dirt poor, hungry, lonely, alone and no one to help me when this song came out and went through my ears to forever in my soul, now I'm quite well taken care of. Never Give Up.
