@Max_d_cat yes, thx . . . The song was written by Andy and his brothers (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb) in Los Angeles, while the trio of brothers were working on the film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. "And one night," Andy would recall, "while we were relaxing, we sat down and we had to start getting tracks together for the album" (also titled Shadow Dancing, which would eventually hit #7 on the U.S. album charts). "So we literally sat down and in ten minutes, we had a group going, (singing) the chorus part. As it says underneath the song, we all wrote it, the four of us."

FearlessFly replies on Mar 19, 2020:

@Marionville The video for the song was directed by Jörn Heitmann, famous for directing the videos of Rammstein, and was filmed in a brothel in Berlin. It was considered controversial by fans and the media due to its strong adult content, featuring topics not as clear in A-ha videos before; sex, drugs, suicide, prostitution, and alcohol had never been so prominently featured in the band's videos, although sadomasochism had been noted in the previous release, "Move to Memphis". Heat sensors are used to show some of the more graphic images from the video. One Norwegian newspaper held the headline, "Raw sex in A-ha video" after the video was officially released on September 24, 2005. Magne: "The video is about people who have lost their direction in the hunt for meaning - and loneliness as a result of lost innocence."

FearlessFly replies on Mar 9, 2020:

@RussRAB The typical response is "Free Will" which has been philosophically argued since the ancients -- and still. What is usually left-out of those arguments is the persistence/prevalence of pathogens -- affecting humans and all creatures. Is it really necessary for "God" to have so many of them in this world ? I would think that constitutes evil of some sort.
