Wesnesday's Not So Well Known Song: Duran Duran - The Valley


The Valley... Great song. Best song from the album Red Carpet Massacre in my opinion. Not the greatest album in Duran Duran history. Even though there are some good songs on there. But I did enjoy the fact that Duran Duran did team up with Timberland and Justin Timberlake on this one. I am hoping in the near future they can just team up with Justin Timberlake, we actually do more of a collaboration with him. But anyways, I love this song. This video of them preforming it live on the TV show Songbook, which I believe you can find on a TV station somewhere in the United Kingdom. If you want to know the whole story behind the song you can watch here, I'll probably post the whole video later on a Fun Friday. Make sure you have time to watch it because it's around forty-seven minutes long. But it's actually interesting to listen to the band talk about making their music. I love getting random facts I didn't know about the song and it makes me think differently about the song itself. But I like this version because it isn't on the album. Just the main fact that John Taylor's bass solo is longer then it is on the album. Nice to hear him play the bass longer then usual in this song. I like the song better this way. They should have also released this as a second single from the album, would've love to see what a music video would look like for this!
