So Hard released 24/9 1990

15 years today so to say.

Those were the days......

Great song very provocative with a double entendre "we make it so Hard"..

Gosh, it really seems a long time back, but the music still sounds great..

Jesus! That was the first proper single I bought, which I also happened to buy on the day of release. I suppose today is some sort of anniversary for me

My how time flies

Well, it was among the most anticipated "singles" of 1990 after the heightened expectations thanks to Introspective.

With all due respect :

Chris is Sadly Mistaken.

SH is a clever little gem of a song. It's Intimate, Universal, Gossipy, Honest, Funny, Serious, Cynical & Sincere.

All at once.

I was so dissapointed that it was stuck at #4

Isnt it PSB's last self-penned UK Top 5 ??

And it was made with analogue synths! A sign of things to come?

One of my sorrows in life is never to have heard So Hard live. What Chris has against that record is beyond me. Production-wise it was lightyears ahead of it's time, the verses and the middle eight are dead clever and the chorus is one ofe the strongest, simplest and most gorgeous choruses ever....
