Safe (In The Heat Of The Moment) - DURAN DURAN

Bassist John Taylor told the story of this song in a blog on Duran Duran's website: "It began life as a bassline and loop brought in by Mark Ronson, producer, in which he referenced NY post-punk bands ESG and Liquid-Liquid. Fantastic fun to play.

At first, Simon's vocal ideas were deemed too Happy Mondays-ish. The groove sat around for months, in my iTunes, called simply 'New York Minute'.  Simon had to go back to the drawing board on this one several times until he came up with the concept of 'Safe (in the heat of the moment)'.  But once he sang the basis of 'Safe', we all jumped on it, hungry as we were to have the energy that this song has in spades on the album."

This live performance video is from A Diamond in the Mind: Live 2011 which is a concert film and live album by British pop band Duran Duran. It was filmed at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, Great Britain on 16 December 2011 during the All You Need Is Now Tour and released on 2 July 2012.
