Υπάρχουν τραγούδια που, μόλις ανοίγει το βίντεο, σε γυρίζουν αμέσως σε μια άλλη δεκαετία — σε κλασικό φωτισμό νεον και σε μια εποχή που το MTV έκανε τα μουσικά βίντεο κομμάτι της παγκόσμιας κουλτούρας. Το “Is There Something I Should Know?” των Duran Duran είναι ένα από αυτά: μικρό, κοφτό και γεμάτο ένταση, με το επαναλαμβανόμενο παρακλητικό «Please, please tell me now» να μένει στο μυαλό σαν απλή αλλά αποτελεσματική εξομολόγηση. Το επίσημο βίντεο, σε σκηνοθεσία του Russell Mulcahy, αναδεικνύει την κινηματογραφική αισθητική που συνόδευε την μπάντα στα πρώτα της βήματα και βοήθησε να καθιερωθεί η εικόνα τους μαζί με τη μουσική τους.
Οι Duran Duran, συγκρότημα από το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο που σχηματίστηκε στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του 1970, έγιναν σημαία της new wave / synth-pop σκηνής στις αρχές των 80s. Με κεντρικά μέλη όπως ο Simon Le Bon (φωνητικά), ο Nick Rhodes (πλήκτρα), ο John Taylor (μπάσο) και οι κιθαρίστες/ντραμς που διαφοροποιήθηκαν μέσα στα χρόνια — η μπάντα γνώρισε πολλαπλές αλλαγές και επανενώσεις, αλλά πάντα κράτησε ένα χαρακτηριστικό στυλ: στιλιζαρισμένη εμφάνιση, κοφτές μελωδίες και βίντεο που μοιάζουν με μικρές ταινίες. Οι δίσκοι τους, όπως το πρωτοσέλιδο Duran Duran και το Rio, μαζί με τις επόμενες κυκλοφορίες, διαμόρφωσαν ένα εκτεταμένο ρεπερτόριο και τους μετέτρεψαν σε ένα από τα πιο αναγνωρίσιμα ονόματα της δεκαετίας.
Το «Is There Something I Should Know?» κυκλοφόρησε το 1983 και προστέθηκε στην επανέκδοση του ντεμπούτου άλμπουμ. Στιχουργικά, είναι μια ωμή ερώτηση προς τον/την αγαπημένο/η — μια ανάμειξη ζήλιας και αβεβαιότητας, με εικόνες που μιλούν για παρατήρηση, σημάδια και τη δυσκολία να διαβάσει κανείς τα πραγματικά αισθήματα του άλλου. Η εμπορική του επιτυχία και η συχνή ροή στο ραδιόφωνο και στην τηλεόραση επιβεβαίωσαν το άμεσο appeal του τραγουδιού, ενώ το βίντεο του Mulcahy το προσέφερε ως μικρό κινηματογραφικό κομμάτι της εποχής.
Αν το ξεκινήσεις τώρα, νιώθεις λίγο σαν να ανοίγεις μια παλιά φωτογραφία: οι ήχοι, οι εικόνες και η φωνή του Le Bon σε μεταφέρουν εκεί που η pop ήταν ταυτόχρονα στιλ και συναίσθημα. Για τους φίλους της μπάντας και τους νεότερους που ανακαλύπτουν το ρετρό, το κομμάτι παραμένει ένα λακωνικό αλλά γεμάτο νόημα δείγμα του γιατί οι Duran Duran έγιναν ένα από τα πιο αγαπημένα ονόματα της new wave.

I'm listening in 2026
難解な歌詞ですが、核戦争に対する未来への不安を訴えているような気がしてなりません。この時代でしか出来ない表現だと思います。
Singing about nuclear
war? I was born in 1982.
Beautiful song, love it!
Just saw them with my lil sis on Sunday here in San Diego, they sound so good, awesome show
I heard they didn't do this one on tour. How? First song I thought of when I heard they were coming.
This is the 1st song I ever heard from DD. It was 1983. Still a huge fan.
Too bad they don't play this on their current tour. Bummer. Too many hits to play them all. Plus they are trying to promote their more recent stuff.
Back when the world made some sense.

The first album is way better really. You can hear the snort in Rio. It's a pity they took that as their benchmark going forward. The vital elements became whittled by the glitz
Always
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
I made a break, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs end the looks, and the pictures
They give your game away, yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show?
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums, they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind?
Can you see in the snow?
And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear war
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I got so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show?
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know? (Please, please tell me now)
Is there something I should say (please, please tell me now)
That'll make you come my way? (Please, please tell me now)
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow? (Please, please tell me now)
Can you see how much I'd die? (Please, please tell me now)
Every time it passes by? (Please, please tell me now)
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make it show (please, please tell me now)
Is there something I should know? (Please, please tell me now)
Is there something I should know? (Please, please tell me now)
I'm just curious about something. Whatever happened to the nekkid baby? That's gotta be embarrassing!
Was just singing chorus to myself my gf hadn't heard of them, feeling my age
I always loved Simon’s voice on this track it’s ethereal❤
Someone still listen in 2026?
I do!
OK! I'll tell you now. Right this very, very now, now!
Great band, but please guys, stay out of American politics.
I'm 57 and these were my teenage rankings on my DD faves: #1 John Taylor good Lord what an exquisite looking man! #2 Simon Le Bon almost a tie with John, he was and still is beautiful. #3 Nick Rhodes wore too much makeup for me. I thought he was cute without so much. #4 Roger Taylor quiet and understated. #5 Andy Taylor he was attractive but not in the way JT and SL were. Hoping they tour extensively in the US soon because I'm ready to go! 😍

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as Duran Duran and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere.
What would our lives have been without British bands?

If there's no New Romantics, then stuff like nu rock woulda happened way earlier.
I mean, Linkin Park and System of a Down woulda formed in the '80s, and that woulda ruined future hip-hop, and with no good hip-hop, there's no RZA, and I lost my virginity to side "A" of "Wu-Tang Forever".
懐かしいな。これを聞いたのが高校生くらいだったような気がする^^
