Talk Talk - "Lifes What You Make It" (1985)

"Life's What You Make It" is a song by the English band Talk Talk. It was released as a single in late 1985, the first from the band's album The Colour of Spring. The single was a hit in the UK, peaking at #16, and internationally, reaching the Top 20 in several countries. Filmed at Wimbledon Common, London, the promotional video for the single depicted the band performing in the early hours in a natural history setting. The track was remixed and re-released in 1990, reaching a second time the UK Top 40.


A cover version of the song was included as a bonus track on the UK version of Weezer's 2008 album Weezer (The Red Album). The Gathering also covered the song on their 2005 album Accessories - Rarities and B-Sides. Australian post-punk singer Rowland S. Howard also covered the song on his second solo album Pop Crimes in 2009. German rock band Zinoba recorded a version that featured in the film Gegen die Wand (Head-On), directed by Fatih Akın (2004), during the closing credits.
