00:02:14 - Pet Shop Boys is a British synth pop duo, made up of singer and composer Neil Tennant and keyboardist and composer Chris Lowe, formed in London in 1981.
00:02:47 - They had their greatest splendor and fame during the mid-80s and until the mid-1980s, the 90s.
00:02:59 - Neil Tennant was raised Catholic, and the lyrics of, It's a Sin, reflect his unfavorable view of the church.
00:03:06 - This caused a lot of controversy, but got the group a lot of attention and helped make the song a huge hit in the UK, where it became their second number one after West End Girls.
00:03:23 - The final verse is sung in Latin.
00:03:25 - Loosely translated it says, Father, my father, please forgive me for I have sinned, it is my fault, it is my fault.
00:03:35 - The song, It's a Sin, by Pet Shop Boys is about recognizing the flaws in one's behavior, even when it comes to the well-intentioned life lessons taught by authority figures.
00:03:47 - The lyrics touch on themes of guilt and shame for past actions.
00:03:56 - Pet Shop Boys proved that you didn't have to be road warriors to get hits in the 80s.
00:04:02 - They didn't tour, instead relying on television appearances and music videos.
00:04:08 - The video for, It's a Sin, was directed by Derek Jarman and shows the group under Inquisition.
00:04:15 - Let us remember that Sin is a moral evil, a deviation in conductor, as defined in the
00:04:20 - Ray Dictionary, a conscious transgression of a religious precept.
00:04:25 - Beyond each person's faith, the truth is that the idea of A.A. Sin has conditioned attitudes of human beings, marking social ethics, especially if we talk about capital sins. We enter the dark world of vices. In the video the seven deadly sins, pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and laziness. They are represented by different characters, such as a guy who accumulates gold coins out of greed.
00:04:58 - Neil Tennant remembers.
00:05:01 - When we first started, it wasn't the which we didn't want to do. We had very strong ideas about what we wanted to do.
00:05:07 - I worked for three years for
00:05:09 - Smash It's Magazine and in that period
00:05:11 - I saw tons of concerts and I thought the format of the rock concert was a bit boring and Chris and I had this idea when we toured we'd do an amazing sort of theatrical extravaganza and we couldn't afford to do that until the late 80s.
00:05:24 - We hadn't sold enough records and
00:05:26 - So the first two we did, we did with the film director, Derek Jarman, and he made films and his people designs in amazing costumes, we had all these dancers and stuff.
00:05:35 - And so we did what we wanted to do, and since then that's,
00:05:38 - I think we're the only group who regularly has a theater designer or director that directs the proceedings.
00:05:43 - We see it very much as a show, and a show is what we always want to put on.
00:05:46 - Because performance is that important to you?
00:05:49 - Yeah, well I think it starts off because there's just two of us in the picture boys, and we thought if Chris played the keyboard, eyes to the inside might be a bit boring. Let's look at the clip and just give people a flavour of it. Here's a recent concert. The history of rock and roll in classic rock's all-time podcasts. The German power metal band Gamma Ray who does a very good version of this song.
00:06:36 - The Swedish group ghost also pays tribute to the group.
00:07:06 - When I look back upon my life, it's always with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame
00:07:36 - For everything I want to do, no matter whether I know where or who, has one thing in common too.
00:07:53 - It's hot, it's hot, it's hot, it's a sin, it's a sin.

00:08:15 - At school they taught me how to be
00:08:19 - So pure thought and word and deed
00:08:23 - They didn't quite succeed

00:09:02 - If it's a sin, forgive me
00:09:08 - I tried not to do it
00:09:12 - Turned over and you leave
00:09:15 - Then it's all right, do it
00:09:19 - Whatever you taught me
00:09:23 - I didn't believe it
00:09:27 - Father, you formed me
00:09:29 - Cause I didn't care if I stood, I was an out
00:09:38 - So I look back upon my life
00:09:42 - Forever with a sense of shame
00:09:46 - I've always been the one to blame
00:09:50 - For everything I long to do, no matter when or when or who, has one thing in common too.
