Backside

Can You Forgive Her? is a song by Pet Shop Boys, recorded for their 1993 album Very. Starting with a huge crash of synth and trumpet, it remains one of the more dramatic songs recorded by the duo. It was released as Very’s lead single, almost four months before the LP itself, and became the duo’s 13th Top 10 single in the UK. Although it peaked outside the Billboard Top 100, it became a #1 single on the US Dance Chart.
The lyrics describe in the second person a young man’s humiliation when his girlfriend accuses him of still being in love with a childhood friend (implicitly male); the woman is “not prepared to share you with a memory”, and is “going to go and get herself a real man instead”. The title of the song derives from the Anthony Trollope novel of the same name.

Pet Shop Boys are an English electronic dance music duo, consisting of Neil Tennant, who provides main vocals, keyboards and occasionally guitar and Chris Lowe on keyboards and occasionally backing vocals.
Starting out, the two called themselves West End, because of their love of London’s West End, but later they came up with the name Pet Shop Boys, which derived from friends of theirs who worked in a pet shop in Ealing.
They have sold over 100 million records worldwide, and are listed as the most successful duo in UK music history by The Guinness Book of Records. Since 1986, they have achieved 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK, including four Number Ones. (Quelle Wikipedia)
