To be honest, I prefer Simon's SYN work to some of DD's current output. He needs "swagger and arrogance" to be able to be a lead singer. But, away from music, there is a touching humility and love of people about him - see his statement about having to give up the car rally a couple of weeks ago. When this was filmed (looks like in the Le Bon house), his mum must have been poorly. I wonder if her loss will inspire another song when he feels able. If they did Ordinary World or Save a Prayer on Tuesday night in Paris, the words must have been so hard for him to sing. I'd just like to give him a big hug at the moment and tell him we're all thinking of him at this difficult time. Love that smile at 1.04! He's never lost his boyish enthusiasm for life. That's why I adore him. Talking of being "closer to bed", just look at Luigi the Pug snoring away in the middle of it. He must be quite used to music going on around him in that house. Could they not record and incorporate his snores into the track and give him a credit

I am a hopeless case, I don't know if Duran Duran's/Simon's music is perfectly tuned into my own musical taste, or whether they have been part of my life so long now that my musical taste is indelibly linked to there's, but by the end of that video I'm already in love with the song and want to hear the completed version!

" kind of like shagging, but not actually shagging......" Can't see that line getting past the lyrics police! What a lovely way with words Simon has

That "space age" chord at 0:48 sounds like Astronaut, don't you think? I just keep watching this video - it's fascinating

This is, apparently, the finished product.

Don't have a clue. No response from either HQ on Twitter.

HQ's excuse is probably that it's not a DD product.....

Still say Luigi the pug should have had a part. He's so cute! "Snoring Like The Pug"?
