Neil Tennant + Chris Lowe...Synthpop, new wave, alternative dance, house...music is beautiful! mua♫
If you haven't seen the Pet Shop Boys video for "Heart", (a) it's okay we can still be friends and (b) you should remedy that immediately. Yes, that's Ian McKellan as the dancing vampire.
And here's some fun facts about "Heart", one I knew and one I didn't.
1) I knew: It was written with Madonna in mind but PSB decided not to give it to her or any other female singer but keep it for themselves. Which is awesome even if I have often imagined the Madonna version since.
2) I did not know but also like to imagine an alternate timeline with this as well: According to Wikipedia, "[the song] was intended to be used in the Steven Spielberg-produced film Innerspace, but the dance sequence it was intended for was at the wrong tempo for the song.

Well, this has aged rather well...

My favourite PSB song. Lush, infectious, slightly wistful but poppy, incredibly pensive tune that wears its heart on its sleeve.
Ok, it's finally time for one of those truly timeless 80s classics!
