Musically, the subtle and beautiful bass guitar transition at 0:56 - 0:59 remarkably represents this undescribable beauty of the world that later gets blasted in pieces by the Machine. Pink Floyd'esque. True art.

This song it's a classic that will never die.

So much relevance to 2020.

One of the greatest albums of 89. So underrated

I love this song

Wow!!

Album class. My CD, 1999.

This amazing song could have easily fit on Pink Floyd's The Wall album. Maybe the video helps thinking that way... The guitar solos definitely have this David Gilmour feel. Awesome creation.

This song reminds me of Heartbreak Kid by Icehouse, released the same year.

would have been much better without the "subliminal flashes" - they don't help, they distract

so simple but you just cant work it out

How about the insert of that that battered and bruised Asian kid holding the 'Stop Violence' sign at the 2:51 mark? On the nose much? (Even though the bruises are on his eyes and chin.) Hows about you let me derive my own meaning from the music, guy?

@@cuttingcrewmusic1156 You know, I thought It Shouldn't Take Too Long, but I'm still trying, as it turns out. I know its Life in a Dangerous Time, these days, but it seems as though someone adulterated the original Broadcast to insert said imagery as some kind of hidden Big Noise. That otherwise notwithstanding, it's felt like a Year in the Wilderness of the Sahara, presently hung up Between a Rock and Hard Place, Reach(ing) for the Sky and Feel(ing) the Wedge as to whether Died in your Arms Tonight refers to the french: 'La petite mort'. It's like something between a Contact High and (a) Scattering... as it were, the figurative Card House of such Big Idea(s), I mean. Not the 'La petite mort,' specifically, to be clear... though...

The beginning sound resemble someone hitting a drumstick on the skull is very primitive and annoying and the politics in this song just completely turn me off politics is a crutch for a song that's not good and The Cutting Crew should not have used politics in their music maybe they were forced to by the record company

Whatever. First: Punctuation. It matters. Avoiding it is a crutch for the inconsequential. Second: Political realities are a fact of life, and like any fact of life, politics can be almost totally ignored by any individual, and they might well muddle through. Doing so doesn't make politics any less a fact of life, however. Music, like all art loses a great deal of it's power, impact, and significance if it is totally separated from relatability by it's audience. And nearly EVERY impactful musician, singer, songwriter has made a political statement of one kind or another. Given this unavoidable truth, your assertion, my friend, is batshit wack-a-loon straitjacket jibber-jabber.
