Because they work in a field that isn't usually taken seriously, the Pet Shop Boys are often ignored in the rock world. But make no mistake -- they are one of the most talented pop outfits working today, witty and melodic with a fine sense of flair. Very is one of their very best records, expertly weaving between the tongue-in-cheek humor of "I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing," the quietly shocking "Can You Forgive Her?," and the bizarrely moving cover of the Village People's "Go West." Alternately happy and melancholy, Very is the Pet Shop Boys at their finest.
I don't know what led me to find this clip today, but it sure does bring back some memories. The song came out around 1993, and I was in year 3 at primary school. That was when I had discovered popular music in any serious form, and in particular, the cassette! And look where it has gotten me!
