![]() It got a great response and became a hit before the video was even aired on MTV. Duran Duran had 13 1 US hits in the 80, mostly uptempo songs. This ballad was a change of direction for Duran Duran, but it gave the band their first US hit of the 90s. I often hear it before working ( it rises my energy to incredible heights); Im a better human after that. However, I didnt truly understand that when the song first came out. Im in my 40s now and I still havent experienced the loss of a loved one. When this song came out, I was in my senior year of high school. I was applying to colleges, taking SATs, and dreading graduation date. I was afraid of losing my friends, losing the little that was left of my childhood, becoming an adult without really knowing what I wanted to do with my life. I didnt really have anyone to talk to about my feelings and sense of confusion. And thats when this song found ME while I listened to the radio one afternoon. The lyrics seem to speak to me, giving me comfort, making sense of my thoughts and feelings. It was ok to be afraid, it was ok to look back at yesterday, to be nostalgic, but ultimately I knew I would find my way, my ordinary world. ![]() It allowed me to grieve for the loss of my adolescence, to feel hopeful about the future, and to find the courage to move forward because any world is my world and I will learn to survive. I still listen to this song in moments of sadness or reflection. It not only gives me a sense of peace but It also takes me back to when I was a scared 17 year old trying to make sense of it all. Thats the beauty of this song, it can be about anything that you want it to be, anything that moves you and means something to you when you first heard it on the radio. And its ok if it means something a little different to each of us, because we all have our own ORDINARY WORLD. Ive heard this song in the radio for a long time and didnt realise its Duran Duran.
