A Masterpiece from Neil and Chris. Actually is definitely their best Album.

Genius song. Not sure why I suddenly felt the need to listen to it but I’m glad I did. The opening seconds were like time travel, taking me back to the 16 year old who heard this song for the first time and adored it then just as much as he adores it now. It has a haunting sound that completely encapsulates the 80s for me.

Who listening in 2020? PSB Forever!

Für mich persönlich einer der schönsten PSB Songs.

"Actually", in my opinion, was one of the best albums ever released by any artist.

I used to listen to this on repeat for hours when I was a teenager, I'm 51 now and it sounds as riveting now as it did then and takes me back to those days when times were simpler

Such a unique sound, both in their music and Neil Tennant's voice. A brilliant example of British music at it's best.

Neil Tennant said in his book One Hundred Lyrics & A Poem that this song was a hymn for the rejects of Thatcherism. In the 80's the Kings Cross area was a magnet for homeless people, prostitutes, drug dealers etc - all life's rejects. This was the first thing you saw of London if you travelled from the north to the capital, and the negative impact of Thatcherism was right in your face, immediately. I think this song was either released as a single very briefly and then withdraw almost immediately, or was intended to be released but was withdrawn - because its release coincided almost exactly with the terrible fire in the Kings Cross tube in the '80's. It was an unbelievable coincidence, and if you didn't know you could be forgiven for thinking it was actually about the event itself. The lyrics - "good luck, bad luck, waiting in a line...." "Dead and wounded on either side....." The lyrics, and the release date, are unbelievably coincidental and painful. I loved this song immediately when I bought the album for its powerful synth lines, but I can remember at the time being utterly speechless at the coincidence of events and the lyrics.

It's eerie that this song was released before the Kings Cross fire. A burning man walking to a train, engulfed in flames. Dead and wounded on either side (every platform). Lost by the station called King's Cross. You know it's only a matter of time. Waiting at a platform with the smoke all around. PSB had a phone number where you could listen to this song and the money would go to the fire victims. It's eerily prophetic.

Who’s listening this Gold-Epic song in 2022? 🎵 Brilliant and genial band Favorite music now and always

Listening to this song brings all sorts of feelings, so many memories... Thank God I was born when I was born and was able to enjoy and love the 80's. Til this day, i refuse to enjoy anything else.

Thank you Pet Shop Boys for making my life better with your music! I will always love you

Listening to this when it first came out and buying the album only seems like yesterday, so sad. How the world has changed!

Pet Shop Boy's finest hour. Just listen to those synths. Genius at work in this song.

I love Pet Shop Boys, your songs have marked my life.

This song was made before the tragedy at kings cross . I will never forget that time. I still have say us Brits do make the best music

I love Pet Shop Boys forever.......

This really is a work of art! It’s their best song, and the lyrics are haunting especially with what happened after at Kings Cross Station. Premonition? It’s a crying shame this was never released as a single.

So refreshing to hear this tune in 2021. Who agrees?

The Pet Shop Boys BRILLIANT. Loved them in the 80's and still do.

"Actualy" (1987) is the Greatest pop album in music history

Excellent, Excellent Song by the one of the World's Best Music Bands, The Pet Shop Boys'. What a Masterpiece. Simply Incredible.

That girl at the beginning is so beautiful. And great song obviously.

I want to go back to 80's

A surreal, dreamy and ethereal song!

Amo essa música, fez parte da minha adolescência. Que saudade!

Man with burning coat. "Dead and wounded on either side, you know it's only a matter of time". The song and album came before the Kings Cross fire disaster, but it's the first in a line of PSB "predictions". They talk of Diana crying ("Diana dried her eyes, and looked surprised") in Dreaming Of The Queen, then she dies in a car crash. Then they drop Versace from the new version of Paninaro, then he died. I asked them about this once via the fan magazine Literally, their response was "Spooky".

Nostalgic! Always one of my favourite songs by Pet Shop Boys. Great Actually album.

the most poetic melody ever written

Masterpiece of a song.

First crush. 12 years old. This new song was playing in the background. Forever stuck.

No.1 Pet shop boys song

What a PSB classic still great to hear in 2024

The sound of Pet Shop Boys is excellent and the quintessential of synagogue pop music of the eighties.

I m pretty sure GOD has Pet Shop Boys on his IPOD !! Their music has always been amazing! Their music shaped me through the 80 s and 90s! Neil and Chris both are so talented and memorable with their synthesizers and beats, while Neil brings that soft angelic voice and harmony in everything to deliver the message! Thank you Pet Shop Boys !

Brilliant Track, Brilliant Album. 30 years, where does it go..

Fantastic SONG and Video👍👍 PSB forever ..!!! Greetings from 🇩🇪

I found myself lost by a station called King's Cross...probably the best Pet Shop Boys track ever.

Perfect classic tune...still the best

I used to listen to this all the time in the 80's and 90's on cassette tape. So many memories. I used to lip sync to this in the mirror. Thanks.

The finest song ever produced by Neil & Chris. A masterpiece.

A premonitory song, mysterious and with a deep meaning both in the text and in the video. I loved it from the first listen ❤🔝

Beautiful composition-Their music is great.I love their music.Thank you.Pet Shop Boys.

Можно слушать бесконечно,хочется вернутся в то время и остаться там на всегда

4:40....Hey guys....will you believe it, if I would tell you, that when I heard it, for the first time, back in '87 (.....when I was still a teenager) the first thing that came to my mind, were British soldiers of the first world war?! And I'm not even a Briton! I'm a Greek....and yet, thanks to my vast military historical knowledge (....in my free time, I'm an amateur but avid military historian) I could picture this image, in my mind! It's incredible, how can a masterpiece, such as this one, can become a constructive "food" for the brain and imagination! Indeed, Pet Shop Boys, have done an incredible job here! Well done boys! Our love from Greece!

Still bring a tear to my eye today......

Their best Song! I've been a huge Fan of Neil and Chris from ever since.

I agree, it's a masterpiece of a song, it's absolutely beautiful!

You will find me here or very near when the clock strikes 2050, 2075 or when that magical 3000 strikes and I’ll be part of the wavelength carrying It’s Alright and other petshopboys songs (whether or not they actually wrote the lyrics) out to infinity and beyond!!! Love you guys with all of my 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🤍🖤🕉☯️☮️♋️♐️♐️⚛️🆘💟✅❎♻️⚠️🆗🆕🆓🆒🆙🚸🚹🚹

[Verse 1] The man at the back of the queue was sent To feel the smack of firm government Lingered by the flyposter for a fight It's the same story every night I've been hurt and we've been had You leave home and you don't go back [Chorus] Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee [Verse 2] Only last night I found myself lost By the station called King's Cross Dead and wounded on either side You know it's only a matter of time I've been good and I've been bad I've been guilty of hanging around [Chorus] Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee [Interlude] [Bridge] So I went looking out today For the one who got away Murder walking round the block Ending up in King's Cross Good luck, bad luck waiting in a line It takes more than the matter of time [Chorus] Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee [Interlude] [Chorus] Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee [Outro] And there's still no guarantee There is still no guarantee

Train conductor: "Sorry, sir. You can't board the train without a snake. We can loan you one if you forgot yours, but you'll have to share with the other passengers. This is the snake-on-your-neck express."

I love how they blend that train engine sound at the end!

Nie ma co za dużo pisać, nie ma co gadać "actually" z 87 to ich najlepszy album. Piękne wspomnienia i magia dzieciństwa.

I looooooooooooove PSB since the 80's. America didn't really play a lot of their music.... Once I moved to Germany, the airplay for their songs were insane!!!! ❤💚💜💙

From the moment I first head this track way back in 1987 as a 16-year old (listening to 'Actually' on my little cassette player) it sums up one thing and one thing only for me: London. Anyone who was born and raised in London feels this song and can identify with it. I distinctly recall that it coincided with the horrendous fire at King's Cross Station. That was a terrible irony. I am now almost 50 years old and I still love this track like it is the first time I am hearing it.

Most favorite track off Actually!

One of their very best songs ~ if not, The Best song from the Pet Shop Boys.

Listening always…❤️ April 2024 ❤️💯📸

Мощнейший трек переживший себя минимум на 40 лет , респект зоошникам 😉

King's Cross, eterna, mágica, triste, romántica,la mejor balada de siempre y de los Pet Shop Boys, por supuesto.

always think of the fire when i here this classic song. used to visit london alot in the 80s and went down the underground many times where the fire was. i feel spared. rip to those poor souls that perished.

Wonderful Neil Tennant

Very poetic sweet melody to listen with nostalgic in 2019.

Classic of electronic music.. Pet Shop Boys one of the Best Electro Music Band!!.. Memories from 90's... :)

The best song from the best album.

Me and my parents love Pet Shop Boys, Its band of my childhood, even tho Im 13 right now I love 80s. :D

Neil's voice was quite soothing back in the 80s. A brilliant example of Brit music n lyrics at its best. Kings Cross has great tunes n superb beats. Simply a artistic masterpiece.

Amazing song 🎵 unbelievable sound and voice 🙌 👌

This will be the main theme song of a film coming up in a few years, which hopefully will encompass all the feelings everyone is sharing here when they listen to it

This song is masterly. The next station will be called King's Cross. Congrats's to Neil Francis Tennant and Christopher Sean Lowe.

When I listen to this song, I find myself just off in a daze, can't explain.

who is still playing in 2019, legendary track...…..

Another one of my favorites from the Pet Shop Boys.

Wake up in the morning, and there's still no guarantee...

The most melancholic song from Actually album, similar to Behaviour songs. From the very begining(when I started to know and to like pet shop boys) i thought Actually is their best album. I still think so. And not only this, i think they are the best band in the world. Especially the period from their formation 1985 till 2003.

Que música! Que música!

My all time favorite song from PSB.

I was 18 when this released simply amazing

God, I love the Petshop boys. 2020 and I still love this album especially.

Very beaultful edition!!!! I love this song and this movie is crazy 😅 but I like it too!

Nostalgic I'm agree Actually best album of 1987.

For me, this stunning Epic Song is their Best, their finest Song to Date! It has so many Levels of Despair and Hope! The Words are brave and aspirational but suffocated by a genuine and emotional Despair and driven down by a nostalgic, misty eyed Avalanche of Sound!

Escuchando esta joya en enero de 2020!!!

My both favs ABBA and PSBoys. We drive together wth them all my travels

Such beautiful piece of music

The most underrated PSB song ever in my opinion

Always love to watch and listen this living legendary band . A respect from India 🙏🙏💎💎🎵🎵🎧🎧❤❤💙💙💚💚💜💜

This album helped me through the awful commute to Cannon Street/ London Bridge and the dark winters in the rain walking over that damn bridge with my walkman on. 🤣.... Takes me straight back there! THX!

One of best songs I ever heard!

Обожаю вас! Одна из моих любимых песен в юности.

Awesome memories 💜 Walking downtown in Zweibruecken, 1984. Loved living in Germany.

This brings so many memories back. When this was released we were still occupied by Russian army a visiting London was only a dream. We couldn’t even buy the album and police was beating people in the streets.

One of the best albums tracks by any artist anywhere

Goddamned this is a good tune. I can’t stop listening to it.

Men! The sound of this video is very good!

A very poignant track about 80s Britain and to me possibly their greatest moment- this and The Theatre off Very both share the beauty and the heartbreak of London

Every song was a HIT, and I don't think that anyone else has accomplished that.

This is one of Pet Shop boys best songs.. phenomenal 80's classic. 0:15 that girl has a great body😮❤.

Memorable song from the one of the best bands ever, thanks

this album is one of the best of their careers as it has produced several memorable classics even today.
