Duran Duran(named after a character in Roger Vadim's sci-fi classic, Barbarella) are an electronic pop-rock band that were part of the new wavemusic movement in the early 1980s. Created by Nick Rhodes(keyboards) and John Taylor(bass) in 1978, with the later addition of Roger Taylor(drums), Andy Taylor(guitar), and Simon Le Bon(lead vocals), the band have sold over 70 million records and are the most commercially successful of the new romanticbands. Their songs were cheerful, hook-laden pop that fared well on the radio, but what many remember best about Duran Duran are their iconic music videos. Though many of the videos were tongue-in-cheek, the band never quite escaped the glamorous and decadent jet set image their early videos projected. The band spent on an average more than a six figure sum (£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

Midnight Sun Lyrics

Duran Duran

As I watch you flickering slowly
In the shadows nothing to hold
Its as if I dont recall our time before
And would it be so wrong
Not to remember
There are times I look at you differently
Like Ive never seen you before
Funny, after all weve done
You could be someone I dont know at all
I dont know you at all
Catch me, I dont want to fall
But you pull the mountain from under me
Look, Im dangling up in the blue
And its a cartoon kind of eternity
Before I drop down to you
What am I supposed to do now
There is something beautiful shining
In the hollow knot of your head
Funny, for a while it seemed to come from the sky
But its in your head
Yes it fills your head
You and I dont always fly
Let me down, I want to fall
Deep into the dark
But Ill come back to you
And Ill always know how to find you
cause you shine like the midnight sun
