Love Life
Berlin (1984)
The third studio album from Berlin was released forty years ago today. It became the band's highest charting album on the Billboard charts and included No More Words, which was their first single to hit the Top 40. It's a fun pop song that I've been lucky enough to be able to hear Terri Nunn and her band perform live in concert.
No More Words was promoted with a Bonnie & Clyde style music video set in the 1930's. It doesn't really match the tone of the song, but it's so bizarre and fun that you can't look away.
Berlin (1984)
You're talking, it all sounds fairYou promise your love, how much you careI'm still listening and still unsureYour actions are lacking, nothing is clearNo more wordsYou're telling me you love me while you're looking awayNo more wordsNo more words and no more promises of loveRemember when the words were newThey carried a meaning, a feeling so trueWell, I'm looking for a long romanceNot a picture of passion or one time chanceBut don't fool yourselfYour empty passion won't satisfy me, I knowSo don't pretend that you want meYou don't want meWe make love, and it's all the sameYour eyes show nothing, no lover's flameWell, don't promise we can work it outYou can leave right now if you're feeling doubtNo more wordsYou're telling me you love me and looking awayNo more words and no more promisesNo more words and no more promises of love
