Visage - "The Damned Don't Cry" (Extended) - A Myleslandia Video Mix by Myles Matisse! "Visage was an incredible force in the 80s. With Billy Currie and Midge Ure from Ultravox, the band produced music that stands up today and is just magnificent in scope. "The Damned Don't Cry" is a beautiful example. I was inspired after hearing the extended version of the song to take the HD version of the music video and combine it with a television appearance from the era and make my "Myleslandia Video Mix". The reason for including the TV performance here is due to the fact in the original music video, Steve only lip syncs the 1st verse and chorus. The rest of the song is just a visual story so I put that part at the beginning of my video mix, used the music video footage for the 1st verse and chorus and the TV appearance for the 2nd verse and the rest of the lyrics. I love the results. By creating this video, it's my way of honoring the legacy, sophistication and New Romantic creativity that Steve Strange brought to the scene. Enjoy!" - Myles The original version of "The Damned Don't Cry" is on the Visage album, "The Anvil".
