"Disappointed" is the fourth single released by English alternative dance group Electronic.Like their first single "Getting Away with It", it features Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys as well as founding members Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner.
It was released on 22 June 1992 on Parlophone soon after the demise of Factory Records.
The single was assigned the Factory catalogue number FAC 348, and the logo of the label remained on the artwork.Upon the song's release, it reached the top 20 in Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
It also peaked within the top 10 on three US Billboard charts - US Dance Club Play, US Maxi-Singles Sales & US Modern Rock Tracks.In July 1992, the song was featured in the soundtrack of the live-action/animation hybrid mystery movie Cool World and its inclusion both in the film and on its soundtrack album was advertised on the US single release.
The song was based on a piano riff by Marr's brother Ian; and worked up into a full backing-track by Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner.They decided to ask Neil Tennant to complete the song and he wrote the lyrics and vocal melody.Some of the words ("Disenchanted once more...") were partly inspired by Mylène Farmer's 1991 hit "Désenchantée".
Tennant travelled to Manchester to record the lead vocal and a few weeks later went to Paris to attend the final mix of the song by Stephen Hague."Disappointed" was conceived just before the recording of New Order's sixth studio album Republic, and was performed live in December 1991 on Electronic's European tour: in Glasgow (sung by Bernard Sumner) and in London (sung by Tennant when Pet Shop Boys guested on three songs).
"Disappointed" was the last Electronic single to be released on all four major formats (7-inch, 12-inch, CD, and cassette).The content of the single was more dynamic than its predecessors, however; it had only one remix of the A-side (by 808 State; titled "808 Mix" in the US and "12-inch remix" in the UK), an additional treatment of a 1991 album track ("Idiot Country", with Ultimatum), and an earlier mix of "Disappointed" (called "Electronic Mix" in the US).The A-side of the single is itself a remix since producer Stephen Hague reworked the "Original Mix" for single release.
Although Electronic would enjoy three more top-twenty singles in the United Kingdom, "Disappointed" was the last major commercial success for the band on an international level, becoming a dance chart hit in the United States and reaching the top 20 in Germany as well as number six in the UK, their highest-charting effort there.
Until the release of Get the Message – The Best of Electronic in 2006, the track was not available on an Electronic album release.
However, since "Disappointed" was featured in the 1992 film Cool World, the song was available on the soundtrack album Songs from the Cool World.Roger Morton of NME was negative in his review, calling the song "effortless in the worse sense" and one that "drifts off into a no man's land of half-hearted disco miserablism".
He commented that Sumner and Marr "have programmed in the garagey synth lines and soft pedal Italian piano, and left out any semblance of melody", while Tennant "murmurs a few lugubrious lines with the enthusiasm of a narcoleptic jellyfish".
Andrew Mueller of Melody Maker felt it "sounds as if minimum effort was exerted over its creation" and concluded, "This sounds like a Pet Shop Boys album track. This yaws where they have stretched.”

10:42am - Oct 9 -
An empty bottle of pills clatters to the glistening and marble floors of the Port Mafia HQ bathroom. Theres never enough pills for him. In the whole world. It seems like anything he tries either backfires on him or just downright doesnt work. 
“what did i do to deserve this..why am i still alive” dazai barely ever cried. he never showed his sadness, only through dark humour or jokes. he made it a joke about wanting to kill himself but not feel any pain or suffering - in reality, yeah, its true - but not like that.. in a jokey way. he was serious this time. 
his doe eyes welled up and it felt his whole world came crashing down right then and there, warm tears flooded from his eyes as he slumped into the corner and fell dizzy. the cuts on his arms - the blood becoming awfully thin - poured across the floor, staining his pants and shirt. his head spun and he fell unconsicous.
the whole world around this poor boy - lost as he already is - moving on without him. noone any the wiser about what was happeneing to him right now. the cars on the main road outisde, the people living the night life in yokohama town centre, the ducks on the pond at the park, the people over the other side of the globe, probably having fun right now, all but dazai.
inside his head right now, nothing, in his heart, nothing, but his pulse was still there. a furrowed expression grew as he felt the cosciousness come running back. he opened one eye and scanned the room, the floor almost entirelly corrupted with his blood,but how.. how was there still life ?
dazai sighed, too numb to cry but too awake to be numb. why is it that he felt everything but also nothing all at the same time ?
it must have been 30, maybe 40 minutes before he could rise to his feet again, and when he did, he stared himself in the mirror and saw.. nothing. he felt asleep and awake. and then it was that the tears came back. although he felt like he only had control of 50% of his body, he managed to make his way out of the bathroom, the bottom of the door dragged the blood pool further. his arms dripped. the tapping of the blood splatter a rhythmic and hypnotizing melody.
fastforward another 20 minutes and dazai was about a 10 minute walk from the port mafia hq sitting on a wooden bench - on the pier, overlooking the ocean.
the moonlight and darkest depths mixing to create a tranquil and azure - glossy filter over the scene.he looked up at the mllions of stars, wondering when, and IF there will ever be an end to this. 
dazai pulled his headphones out of his backpack and put them over his ears.
Tumblr media
the music immediately creating an atmosphere - bringing back that numb feeling again. the one he half craved - half loathed.
dazai, in that moment had an awakening. slightly. the suicidal temptation was still there, but something changed inside of him. it was almost like he was compelled to turn around. he saw a tall building, with lights on in the top floor.
it wasnt a choice. he HAD to walk towards it it felt like.
he pressed the buzzer on the wall, next to the door, waiting to be let in. 
‘zzzzzzz......ADA HQ, please state your reason for visit....zzzzzzzzzzzz’
“uh.. job interview”
the door flung open, with a smiling receptionist greeting him. the sadness remained. however, the numbness drained, he felt he belonged. for once.
you might think, ‘ wow quick change ! ‘ however, the overdose was not a one time thing, he tried it often but nothing worked. countless hospital bills and drug receipts. even more bloody blades and bandages.
its like an endless cycle of ‘im not happy and im not sad’
(lyrical referance)

Lati, angoli, aree e volumi. Note messe sul pentagramma che disegnano figure musicali in continuo mutamento. Un mondo di ludi, voci e luci fosche o adamantine.. Ascoltare The Smiths e' una magnifica mostra di racconti dalla luce intensa. Ogni canzone e' in amplesso cerebrale ricco di alterazioni e mutamenti sonori. Che meraviglia ascoltare la voce di Morrisey nelle sue descrizioni immaginifiche. Canzoni che conoscono solo le parole " arte e seduzione". Per questo gruppo spenderei tutti gli aggettivi positivi conosciuti al mondo. @ilpianistasultetto

"Getting Away with It" is the first single by the English band Electronic, which comprised Bernard Sumner of New Order, ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, and guesting vocalist Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. 
It was first released in 1989.
Musically, Bernard Sumner wrote the verse and Johnny Marr wrote the chorus.
The lyrics, co-written by Tennant with Sumner, are a parody of Marr's Smiths partner Morrissey, and his public stereotyping as morose and masochistic (Pet Shop Boys would further satirise this trend on their 1990 song "Miserablism").
Morrissey, for his part, criticized the song in a 1991 interview, calling it "totally useless" and joking that the song had a "very apt title".
In a 2021 interview with Music Radar, Marr revealed that Chris Lowe also worked on the track, citing the bassline as his work. 
ABC and The The, Drummer David Palmer programmed the track's drums.
Two music videos were made for "Getting Away with It".
The first, directed by Chris Marker and produced by Michael Shamberg for European use in 1989, featured Sumner, Marr and Tennant in a studio environment miming to the single edit of the song.
Additional footage of Marker's muse Catherine Belkhodja, strolling among peacocks through Paris Zoo and also singing to the track, was left out.
The second video, shot in 1990, was made for the US release.
Sumner and Tennant appeared, alternately, against a series of coloured backgrounds, with artistic effects superimposed.
Two women's faces are also panned in close-up.
The later version is available on the 2006 Get the Message DVD.
