Duran Duran - The Valley Lyrics






These are days of hit and run
In the stream with everyone
Is a moment of our lives

On a wandering river
Going on together
Many journeys to arrive

I've been walking
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

When I think I'm being strong
And I lose direction
then a life starts looking mischievous
Finding revelation
Out of desperation
Always stretching time
But it's never long enough

You think you're happy
Think you're free
But maybe we're just
Comfortably dizzy

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
Through the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Duran Duran The Valley Comments
  1. S.... M....

    Masterpiece!

  2. D.... M....

    Another great, neglected DD song. It craves a much bigger production, though. Hey! Why don’t they do a symphonic album like Sting or George Michael. I think it would suit their songs perfectly - so many of them have such grandeur…

  3. J.... T....

    I grew up on these guys. I got my first kiss in 6th grade when I gave my "girlfriend" a cassette of Seven and the Ragged Tiger for her birthday in 1983! LOL! Good times! I read Janet Jackson is in the hall of fame but not these guys? WTF? Listen to this version of The Valley and tell me this isn't Rock and Roll! If they dont make it in there in my life time the world of music is truly a sad place!

  4. M.... M....

    The guitar is so dark.

  5. F.... H....

    I believe, yes a need, I love Duran Duran 🇧🇷🇫🇴

  6. C.... G....

    To be honest, I much prefer this live version than the studio recording. It sounds more like Duran Duran. Nice!

  7. S.... G....

    Numeri uno !!!

  8. R.... M....

    2:56 Who farted

  9. D.... C....

    A very slept on Duran Duran album Red Carpet Massacre was awesome and this is my favorite tune from that album.

  10. 3.... U....

    Absolutely eargasm

  11. D.... M....

    Such a great, underrated song. Hey, guys, please, please do a concert with a full orchestra some time. Duran music was just made for that epic sound. This would be an amazing opener 👍

  12. T.... L....

    Love John on the keyboard

  13. L.... C....

    I love Simon singing broken dream in Italy. Just shows what a brilliant singer he is. 😚

  14. i.... ....

    super !
    thank you DD !!! :)

  15. M.... H....

    Simon LeBon is the GOAT, anyone who disagrees can FUCKOFF

  16. P.... S....

    Red carpet masacre needs urgent a proper live version. The songs shine much more than the album.

    P.... S....

    Pablo Santander great idea!!

  17. P.... S....

    This song really sounds much better live than the album version

  18. y.... y....

    excellent better than album red carpet

  19. s.... ....

    I love this band so much!   John and Roger (sigh)  lolol

  20. v.... ....

    It seems their more recent songs are better live than they are on the album. When they're allowed to do their thing they're amazing, but when they have too many cooks in the kitchen with them it kind of ruins what makes them so great.

    v.... ....

    Completely agree, would love to hear Paper Gods with ''real'' drums and no bass synth, the whole heart and soul of DD is their rhythm section. Nobody ever questioned their songwriting.

  21. T.... S....

    i love duran duran with passion but i hate this track the instrumental is pretty poor in comparison with some of their old creations

  22. M.... S....

    This is so good, come back to Australia!

  23. D.... l....

    1 of only a few decent songs on the rcm album .

  24. m.... b....

    What a relief when John plays his traditional guitar, or is ~so~ slapping his bass as said here !!!! I don't enjoy John's finger shots, Nick's hands however, are beautiful.

  25. J.... G....

    Much better live than the album track...Top Live Band

  26. B.... H....

    everybody just killing it, absolutely brilliant!

  27. W.... ....

    Play that fucking bass JOHN!

  28. V.... I....

    ...yes, but did you see those boobs jiggle..

  29. H.... ....

    This totally kicks ass from the 2:01 minute mark.

  30. F.... P....

    in my opinion their best album

    F.... P....

    It is pretty good but it was highly underrated by their own hard core fans imagine that .

  31. R.... ....

    One of their all time best songs. Damn they're hot when they're jammin' like this!! John is killing it. :DD

  32. J.... R....

    An amazing song from a terrible album.

    J.... R....

    the whole album is amazing the only bad song is skin diver which i hate .The thing about DD you might not know is that they never repeat their albums yet they all have a unique duran duran sound.

    J.... R....

    @depecheddurand Skin Divers is my least favorite Duran song of all time

  33. S.... M....

    Amazing!!!!!!

  34. M.... K....

    This live is better than the album studio version

    M.... K....

    I agree, the studio version is way over mixed and lacks some energy, the live version has much more pop to it.

    M.... K....

    RGS Columbia Very true. But no secret they kick ass live, right?

    M.... K....

    it s true!! exact

    M.... K....

    Marco Kingstons 😎

  35. R.... F....

    This song live is awesome. D2 at their best.. .

  36. i.... s....

    omg i like this a lot

  37. G.... F....

    play that f*ckin' bass (synth) John! 

  38. N.... l....

    John Taylor at the synths? I think he wants to help Nick a little bit ^_^...and the slapping bass technique is just *BRILLIANT* . good work! :D

    N.... l....

    One of my fave tracks from Red Carpet Massacre.

    N.... l....

    John can slap me around anytime lol.

    N.... l....

    Nickrhodes littledarling absolutely beautiful and brilliant

    N.... l....

    Nickrhodes littledarling 😎😎

    N.... l....

    Nickrhodes littledarling I’ve seen John T many years ago (80s) playing a synth live on the Notorious Tour - They played ‘Election Day’ (Arcadia) . JT played the base line on a synth :)

  39. r.... ....

    Preach, SImon, Preach!

  40. W.... H....

    AMAZING...THEY REALLY KICKED INTO GEAR FROM 2:42 TO THE END..I LOVE DURAN DURAN!

  43. H.... ....

    love the bass solo...

  44. m.... n....

    sempre i numeri uno!

  45. J.... R....

    This song is amazing. RCM is so weird. I either love the songs or hate the songs. This is a CLEAR winner.

  46. T.... ....

    Love this version! Wish we could hear it again on the next tour!

  47. m.... ....

    John is paying synth bass, not keyboards.

  48. A.... Y....

    It's all cool, only the pity is that Simon got to be fat a bit... still not that big deal, consider to his age though...

  49. G.... F....

    I Just LOVE this song! John's bass solo drives me wild ;)

  50. J.... ....

  53. k.... ....

    Great Duran Duran jam here. You guys can play and John totally awesome!

  54. C.... M....

    Wow what a great mix of vocals, instruments, synth this band really deserves a lot more contemporary respect

  55. E.... F....

    John Taylor is the fucking nuts!

  56. 0.... ....
