How much love do you have for The Psychedelic Furs?
I have always been a fan though felt their quality levels tailed off once they got big in America
I've seen them play live in the last few years too - still a good night out with a set full of bangers

"Talk Talk Talk" was their best set, and this one was the highlight

Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs, songfacts interview.... "Pretty in pink" is a metaphor for being naked. The way Richard Butler writes lyrics, you have to peel back some layers, step into a different light and contemplate a bit before they really sink in. Or you can just make up your own story, which is what John Hughes did when he took the song, about a promiscuous girl who is mocked behind her back, and made it into a movie about a headstrong teen (Molly Ringwald) in a pink prom dress.
That song came from the Psychedelic Furs' second album, Talk Talk Talk, produced by Steve Lillywhite and released in 1981 when they still had six members. Their next album, Forever Now, was produced by Todd Rundgren and holds "Love My Way," written for one of Richard's friends who was struggling to come out as gay. The lyrics hit hard:
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apartRest here... www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/richard-butler-of-psychedelic-furs |

Ged's review of the new album... More than just a return-to-form, nothing as vulgar as a ‘comeback’, this deserves a wider audience than just loyal Furs fans. It is almost their ‘Blackstar’… a contemporary rock album with depth and an emotional pull which few bands can achieve. I think he likes it

Over a year after the release of the Made Of Rain LP in 2020, the Psychedelic Furs are hitting the road again
To fan the flames of excitement they have shared a brand new song, Evergreen
A brooding mid-paced groover with a Bowie vibe and a gothic Bond undercurrent
Evergreen is a leftover track from the Made of Rain recording sessions
