The Beloved

About Hello

"Hello" is a single by The Beloved released as the second (third if Your Love Takes Me Higher 1989 is counted) single from their album Happiness. By peaking at no. 19 in the UK, on 5 January 1990, it was, at the time, their highest-charting single, a record it held for almost exactly 3 years, until "Sweet Harmony," the first single taken from the Conscience album, reached Number 8, on 18 January 1993, this way becoming the band's new highest-charting single, a record it still holds. At least three additional remixes were exclusive to other formats: "Hello (Boys & Girls)" and "Hello (Uncle Arthur)" appeared on the 12-inch vinyl version, and "Hello (Dolly)" appeared on both the cassette and 7-inch versions. In addition, a Razormaid! remix of the song appeared on the Razormaid! Anniversary 9.0 compilation album. As for "Hello (What's All This Then?)" and "Hello (Honky Tonk)," two of the five remixes of the main title on the CD single release, they would both later resurface on the following Blissed Out remix album, the sister release to Happiness, the second remix only featuring on the CD and MC editions of the work, but not on the vinyl LP, which only contained the first. The MC edition only of Blissed Out also included "Paradise (My Darling, My Angel)," representing then previously unreleased sixth track on the "Hello" CD single.

So welcome to the world, yeah
All you late-comers, just step on board
I'm happy, glad you came
So welcome home again

Sometimes I feel we must be going mad

Hello peter, hello Paul
Saints and sinners, welcome all
Tommy Cannon and Bobby Boy
Hello, hello, hello, hello

This great big question, unanswered still 
Oh, can you spot the difference that lies between
The colour blue and the colour green?

Sometimes I feel we must be going mad

Hello, hello, hello, hello

So welcome to the team
Oh, have you worked it out yet?

Sometimes I feel that the whole world's going mad
