Number five of an occasional series.
Duran Duran have written some amazing pop songs. But their best ever song I think is Come Undone. Although it got to Number 13 in the UK when it was released, it is arguably not one of their most famous songs (at least amongst the uninitiated).
I has a gorgeous swirly guitar hook and one of best vocals Le Bon has ever done. Any lyrically it is just beautiful (apparently it was written for Yasmin as a birthday gift). It's one of a small group of songs that can bring me out in genuine goosebumps.
I've always thought it suffers as the lesser relation of Ordinary World, as that was their big comeback single. But I think this is even better - it's much more understated and therein lies its strength. Sheer perfection.
