Walking On Thin Ice (Pet Shop Boys Electro Mix)

Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono

Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price



For throwing the dice in the air



Why must we learn it the hard way?



And play the game of life with your heart



I gave you my knife, you gave me my life



Like a gush of wind in my hair



Why do we forget what's been said?



And play the game of life with our hearts



I may cry someday



But the tears will dry whichever way



And when our hearts return to ashes



It'll be just a story, it'll be just a story

Walking On Thin Ice (Pet Shop Boys Electro Mix)

Yoko Ono's 'Walking On Thin Ice' stands as a pivotal moment in her late-career resurgence, notably reimagined here by the Pet Shop Boys. This electro mix transforms the original track's ethereal, minimalist aesthetic into a driving, dance-oriented composition that bridges the gap between her avant-garde roots and contemporary electronic pop. The recording captures the collaborative spirit of the duo, infusing Ono's signature vocal delivery with the synth-driven production characteristic of the Pet Shop Boys' work. Released during a period where Ono actively engaged with modern music production, the track exemplifies her continued evolution as a performer capable of adapting her material for new audiences while maintaining her distinct artistic voice. It remains a significant song in her discography, showcasing her willingness to explore diverse sonic landscapes beyond her traditional solo boundaries.
