Pet Shop Boys – Fugitive (Richard X Extended Mix) (6:05)

Flayer723 書き込み：

This track is definitely sung from the point of view of a suicide bomber, particularly one of the 9/11 attackers. It's blatant throughout the lyrics and sound effects of the song, trying to pass off other meanings on it smacks of desperation to admit a track like this is real.

stedosa is absolutely right this song is not about suicide bombers, but the two young Iranian men executed for their homosexuality. Fundamental is dedicated to them, so it seems a fair assumption that this is their song. The confusion is based on the nature of martyrdom: the collision between radicalised Muslims and homosexual Muslims being intentional, and complicated for the listener. The jet engine roar, which is also a HNRG disco kick is a stroke of genius as a musical trope. Great song, I wish there were more mixes of this.

ditto ditto ditto on the accolades for this non single mega dance hit! This is prob the best song PSB produced and could be a TV song for '24' or 'Prison Break' or any action movie. Wow and fantastic work, PSB! keep it up!

I wish this hat been a single and on the album. Wonderful production and classic sad sounding electronic stormer.

We'll be together, Now and forever! One of the joys of picking up the remix albums/special editions is hidden gems like this.

Absolute masterpiece! Could it be about the young men killed because of their homosexuality in Iran? The track speaks about brothers (lovers) waiting to die and hoping to meet again for a better life in heaven. Why two suicide bombers should really miss each other? Richard X is a great producer, hope they will work together again.

To be fair releasing a single about the 9/11 hijackers would have seen them attacked in the public eye and the press, in particular the red tops.

Best track the PSB have done in years and it didn't even make it on to the regular version of the album. I wonder if they were worried about controversy stemming from a song that might be seen as sympathetic to suicide bombers?

Wow........seriously....wow. First time I've listened to the track was today, even though I've been listening to PSB for years. It is amazingly brilliant.

Instant hit single that wasn't a single. Typically Pet Shop Boys NOT to turn this fabulous track into a single. Best-produced PSB track ever!
