"Come Undone" is the second single from the
album Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) by
British band Duran Duran, and is their
twenty-fourth single overall. With their
commercial and critical success
re-established by the previous single
"Ordinary World", the second release from the
album continued to showcase more of the
band's entry into the Adult Contemporary
genre. "Come Undone" proved to be the group's
second consecutive US top ten hit single from
The Wedding Album. It was also popular in the
UK and other international markets.
The group's guitarist at the time, Warren
Cuccurullo, is credited with developing the
instrumentation for "Come Undone", most
importantly its guitar hook, which he
developed while trying to do a
re-interpretation of "First Impression" from
their 1990 album Liberty. The lyrics were
written by vocalist Simon Le Bon as a
birthday gift for his wife, Yasmin Le Bon).
The group's bassist, John Taylor, did not
actually play bass on this track. Nick Rhodes
and John Jones both contributed synth bass on
the track during his absence.
The "Come Undone" video was directed by
Julien Temple. Shots of the band were filmed
in the London Aquarium; these were
interspersed with short vignettes of people
"coming undone" in various ways. These
vignettes include a little girl seeing her
parents together, an older couple who have
survived a flood, an alcoholic and a man who
is revealed to be a cross-dresser. Also seen
in the video is a woman struggling underwater
to break free of the chains that bind her. Le
Bon and Taylor's Vivienne Westwood wardrobe
were likely a nod to the band's early New
Romantic era.
The single was released in the United Kingdom
on 29 March 1993, with the b-side "Ordinary
World (Acoustic)". This was the single's
official b-side in the UK.
The US was luckier. Across a myriad of
formats Capitol put out no less than three
new b-sides - "Time For Temptation", "Stop
Dead" and an alternate mix of "Fallen Angel".
For collectors, the US releases also
contained an alternate mix of "To The Shore"
and the first appearance on CD of "The
Chauffeur (Blue Silver)" (called "acoustic
demo" here, due to the dreadful sound
quality).
Meanwhile, to whet UK collectors' appetites,
EMI released three album tracks on the second
CD, along with the album version of "Come
Undone". CD One faired slightly better with
the beautiful acoustic rendition of "Ordinary
World" propping up three mixes of the title
track.

â—‹â—‹â—‹ Recorded Red Bus Studios, London
December 1980, writer Duran Duran & producer
Colin Thurston
"Planet Earth" is the debut single by the
pop/rock band Duran Duran, released on 2
February 1981. The song later appeared on the
band's eponymous debut album Duran Duran,
released in June, 1981.
The music video for the song was directed by
future film director Russell Mulcahy, who
would go on to direct a dozen more for the
group.
Fairly primitive by the band's later
standards, the video features the band
(dressed in frilly, floppy New Romantic
fashions) playing the song on a white stage
tricked out with special effects to look like
a platform made of ice or crystal.
Interspersed with the performance are shots
of the band members alongside the four
elements. The video focused closely on the
band's faces. The instrumental middle section
features friends of the band from the Rum
Runner nightclub dancing in their outlandish
outfits. At the end of the video, singer
Simon Le Bon leaps from the stage, caught in
a freeze frame shot above an apparently
bottomless abyss.
____________
"Planet Earth" begins with a slow synthesised
sweep backed with electronic rhythm, but the
real rhythm section of throbbing bass and
crisp drums soon kick in. Muted guitar
carries the up-and-down melodic hook of the
song as the singer joins in.
The song was the first to explicitly
acknowledge the fledgling New Romantic
fashion movement, with the line "Like some
New Romantic looking for the TV sound".
