Talk Talk – Life’s what you make it
“Life’s what you make it” is definitely a song with a great title. And it is surely great song, even after more than 30 years. I didn’t like the video, I must say, insects, animals… but some may like it as well! But… don’t you seem to hear Tears for Fears influence in this song? The melody part is quite similar to “Shout“!
Actually, one thing to say is that Talk Talk declared that they were somehow inspired by Kate Bush’s “Running up that hill” for the drum pattern. And we need to say that this is one of the last songs created for the new album “Colours of spring”: the producer was afraid that, among all songs, they had no fronthead song to be released as a single.
For this reasons Talk Talk created “Life’s what you make it”. Actually it had became a sort of a bet for Mark Hollis, to be able to create a strong song to release as a singe! Then the producer decided that he was satisfied, they finally had a single to release 🙂
