Lyrics:
So soon
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
On the table
Signs of love life scattered
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though
As though you really mattered
But being close
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I'd laugh at you
I think I'd cry
What am I supposed to do
Follow you?
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory

Can we all appreciate the musical talent in this track??? The guitar, bass and synth are so tight.
I don't understand why this song didn't sell at the time. For me, it is one of my favorite early numbers by Duran Duran.

Nah mate. It's a fact that you have kickass taste for music and normally I'm a metal head. Then again music has gotten really shitty thanks to half assed Excessive uses of recycled Assets and also god awful auto tune along with god awful talentless singers who might have been working at McDonald's if it wasn't for the hellish existance of autotune along with sad, meaningless, Brain dead lyrics about sex, Gucci, drugs, Naked girls that is writen by a bunch of latte chugging soy-boy virgins that they'll never have.

Looking back at all the bands and music I used to listen to back then, I'm surprised by the bands that I actually have a deep appreciation and respect for. I mean I liked the music of Duran Duran back in the day but because there was so much other music around back then, and because I was just a kid, they were lost in the mix of all the pop and rock and new wave bands that were around. But looking back, much of the music and many of the bands I once liked in the 80's I've since come to realise lacked true talent and musical production genius. Many were just disposable pop and rock artists. But Duran Duran were absolute geniuses at creating, arranging and producing unique, seductive and indulgent music that truly stands the test of time. Their videos are works of music video art. The guys are just such nice guys. They are truly dedicated to music as they are still producing music to this day. And they've released a number of hits over a span of 4 decades. They are exciting because they keep evolving and entertain us with new music and with their stories from their musical journey and with their music from their early days which is still pure ear candy.

Such an underrated song of theirs. This song really rocks.
What an absolutely wonderful tune. I was 9 years old when this was out. I had a best friend called Simon. (And, no, his surname wasn't Le Bon! Funnily enough!) He adored this song. I still remember him singing it one evening as we went home after mucking about for hours after school on the local playing field. 40 years ago, but an incredibly vivid - though not careless - memory. A couple of years later he moved to Surrey.....and, of course, eventually we lost touch. Have been trying to find him for the last 20 years or so, but all to no avail. I'm 50 now, and he will be next year. Simon, if you ever see this, get in touch. I'd give my right arm to reminisce about those childhood days with you.....and, hey, maybe play utterly brilliant stuff like Careless Memories whilst we do.

Yes, but the song wasn't such a great hit back then as it should have been, its a great hit in their concerts I thought Simon was the most gourgous man on earth when I first seen him in 1980.

I just saw Duran Duran at the Hollywood Bowl last night. They played this song last night. It was outstanding. I'm 50 and had never heard this song before. Shocked to see it came out in 1981!?!?! I thought I knew all their tunes. Need to revisit the early albums. They still put on an incredible show. Check them out while you still can. Nile Rodgers and Chic opened for them. Nile was their producer for a while.
Three Taylors, no relation, lol. And Roger is fierce on this track. Fierce.
never understood why this song was such a small hit its one of my favs
In a little over a year, this single will be 40 years old. This blows my mind.
so damn beautiful, intense, pure, energic.. there will never be a wonderful time to be creative like the 80s were

42 years after its launch, I'm here loving it as if it were a great novelty.What is good, beautiful and well made is timeless.❤
*Hair Dye, Frilly Shirts, Sashes and Kilts!* 💜 The _New Romantic_ Look was so cool... though short-lived. This song has such an energy, live in concert the song is epic!! The bit in the video with the tulips must symbolize something... shattered love?

The original is always the best and Duran Duran is still rocking like the Stones and god bless CHARLIE WATTS soul!!!
After all these years...incredible....thank u guys!!

Is there anything more 80' s than the 'jogging in place to every other beat' dance? I've always thought of this as more of an Andy Taylor song, and maybe the most Andy song of them all, aside from 'Hold Back the Rain'- which is just dynamite. I find the interpretation of the song kind so literal as to be somewhat humorous, which is topped in humor by Simon's overdramatic acting. It's nice to see Andy mug for the camera, and John's always good eye-candy, but what really catches me by surprise is Roger's clothes. Everyone is completely New Romantic (Simon and Nick, predictably going all out), whereas Roger looks like he's ready to start on the Rio tour. I've always honestly thought every member of the band brings something valuable/essential, but have also always thought of Roger as the unsung hero. His drumming is tight, flawless, relentless and really perfect on every song. Such a great band- even on b-sides like this.
Fantastic memory
Lots and lots of memories with this song!! DD songs made the 80s what is was!!
Fantastic
I love this song live on their album Arena.
I love this band forever and always!!😍😘
When i heard this song for the 1st Time all those years ago.I fell in love with it Straight Away. I bought the Album the Next Day and just listened to it Over and Over and Over and Over. And i was singing the chorus as "Pretty Girls Never Ring" for a very long time. Even today it sounds like "Pretty Girls Never Ring"

This must have been the UK video. Never recall seeing this on MTV in the USA back in the 80s. I had never seen this version, until today.
Sounds much better in Smokey club with the over powering smell of a beer soaked carpet! I remember it so well! I’ve still kept all of my 80s clothes!! So many different styles of music it was a mad time! Love it!
