Assessions progressed, they explored a variety of different approaches, including the dance, funk-based sounds that had informed their later albums, before achieving a breakthrough with Ordinary World - a beautifully melancholic marriage of Warren Cuccurullo's mesmerising guitar riff and a wistful lyric from Simon Le Bon about the death of his best friend, David Miles.
Ordinary World single by Duran Duran B-side "My Antarctica" Released 19 December 1992 US26 January 1993 UK Recorded Privacy Studio, London Format 7", 12", Cassette, CD Genre Pop Length 539 Album Version 443 Single Version Label Capitol, EMI Writers Duran Duran Producers Duran DuranJohn Jones Duran Duran "Ordinary World" is the 23rd single by Duran Duran, and the first single from The Wedding Album. It was released on 19 December 1992 in the United States and 26 January 1993 in the United Kingdom, reaching the top ten in both countries. About the song[] By the early 1990s, Duran Duran's once-Beatlesque popularity had faded. Their album Liberty had proved a commercial failure, its two singles failing to make a significant showing on British or American charts. It wasn't until Capitol leaked "Ordinary World" to a radio station in Florida in the autumn of 1992 that it looked like Duran Duran mania might yet hit again. The single proved so popular that Capitol had to push the US release date up, ultimately releasing it in December. In the UK, the original January release date stood. The song can also be credited with introducing Duran Duran to a new generation of fans. The keyboards and strings in the song were arranged and performed by Nick Rhodes and John Jones, using an AKAI S1000 & S900, Emulator III, and a Roland D-50. The song won an Ivor Novello Award in May 1994. Simon Le Bon would go on to sing the song with Luciano Pavarotti at a War Child benefit show. This performance was released on Pavarotti & Friends Together for the Children of Bosnia. It has been voted Best Duran Duran Song On Earth by fans. Music video[] The video was filmed by director Nick Egan at Huntington Gardens in Pasadena, California and features a woman and her husband posing for photographs after presumably getting married while the band attend the wedding or rather reception as guests. B-sides, bonus tracks and remixes[] To capitalise on the success of "Ordinary World" and the new Duran Duran fans it was finding, EMI used the single's release to lure these new fans to the band's back catalogue. This mini-Decade was spread over the two CD singles released during the campaign. Other Mixes[] An acoustic version of the song was included on the band's next release, the "Come Undone" single. There were several other versions of "Ordinary World" released.[1] The "Single Version" or "Single Mix" was a differently mixed and edited version, sent to radio stations, used for the promotional video, and available on the CD single release in certain countries outside the US. The "Acoustic version" was more correctly the "Acoustic Mix" and was created using the studio guitar & vocal tracks and adding specially arranged live string orchestration. An alternative live acoustic performance was recorded at the May 15 "No Ordinary Tour" live performance at Tower Records in Hollywood, which was simulcast to Hard Rock Cafés around the world. This live version was found on a number of "Ordinary World" releases outside the UK, most notably the Canadian and American cassette single. It would eventually be released in the UK on the first CD single for "Come Undone". The "AC edit" was featured on a US promo CD that came packaged with the Decade album. A version recorded live on Simon Mayo's Radio 1 show would surface in 1995 as a B-side to "White Lines". A 608 version, recorded at Sony Studios in New York City for Hard Rock Live, was included on a promotional 2-track CD in June 2000 by the band's new label Hollywood Records. Covers, samples, & media references[] The song has been covered by RED, Riverfenix, Something for Kate, Stereoblonde , Aurora, Kurt Nilsen, Circa Survive, and Mandy Kane. The song appeared in the soundtrack to the film Layer Cake in 2004, and was noted for its use in the memorable attack scene in the restaurant. The song has been covered and appeared in the e3 2017 trailer of "The Evil Within 2" during Bethesda's Press Conference. Chart positions[] "Ordinary World" peaked at 3 in the US and held at 6 in the UK.

Whenthis song showed up, it was hard to believe it was Duran Duran. They were global superstars in the '80 with an impressive run of hits, mostly uptempo songs, but their 1990 album Liberty stiffed, and they didn't release any new music until the "Ordinary World" single late in 1992. It's far more doleful and introspective than their previous work, but radio stations jumped on it, eager for
