Song of the day: Pet Shop Boys: Winner



The Pet Shop Boys have premiered their new single, Winner from their upcoming album, Elysium, their upcoming 11th album, due out on September 18! I cannot wait for this new release from them. It looks like this song has been used in this years Olympics in London. This is great exposure for the band! Previously, the Pet Shop Boys premiered the song, Invisible off this album, which was a way more downbeat song, this one is way more happier and catchier in my opinion. I look forward to hearing the entire album when it comes out. After hearing this track, I was reminded of what a great synthpop group Pet Shop Boys truly is. They still got it. This album was also recorded here in Los Angeles, the first time the group recorded an album outside of the UK. Congrats, lads! Here is the single: Winner:

lyrics:
This is the moment, we’ll remember
Every day for the rest of out lives
Time may rush us, hurt or love us

but on this day we have arrived

It’s been a long time coming
We’ve been in the running for so long
But now we’re on our way
Let the ride just take us
Side by side and make us
See the world through new eyes every day

You’re a winner
I’m a winner
This is all happening so fast
You’re a winner
I’m a winner
Let’s enjoy it all while it lasts

I’ve been a loser, I’ve paid my dues
I fought my way up from the ground
Now at this moment, the crowd acclaim us
Will you just listen to that song

It’s been a long time coming
We’ve been in the running for so long
But now we’re on our way
Let the ride just take us
Side by side and make us
See the world through new eyes every day

You’re a winner
I’m a winner
This is all happening so fast
You’re a winner
I’m a winner
Let’s enjoy it all while it lasts

It took us so long
And we worked so hard
We came so far just to compete
But don’t forget all
The love and laughter
Now the world is at our feet
Looking back on all the times
We felt downcast
Didn’t think we were going anywhere
Just living in the past
But in that desperation
You get inspiration

You’re a winner
I’m a winner
This is all happening so fast
You’re a winner
I’m a winner
Let’s enjoy it all while it lasts

’cause you’re a winner
Took so long, we worked so hard
We came so far and just to compete
But don’t forget all
The love and laughter
Now the world is at our feet

You’re a winner
I’m a winner
This is hapá¹—ening so fast
You’re a winner
I’m a winner
Let’s enjoy it all while it lasts
’cause you’re a winner
