    Getting emotional listening to this gem and reading the comments. 59 years old next month and at times struggle to accept getting old. However, the great music and memories of my younger days make it okay. We were truly gifted with the best music of a generation in the 80s.

      I get ya but with getting old we would never see how special it was. We must accept the good with bad. The balance of all things with one or the other then nothing would be what is. Life is too short to worry,,,Enjoy the now. The moment.
      Because they soon pass.

      The guy is full of amazing lyrics. A class of his own, never matched and will be difficult to be matched for a long time. Great lyrics, but Ladytron, In every dreamhome and Mother of PEarl are to my mind in another class alltogether. Ferry knows so well how to play this classy creep, a somewhat disturbed millionair or a hopeless romantic and puts all that in the words so they match all that. Just fantastic. He is a bit like Maradona on the pitch: his topclass work did not last as long as some others (Messi in the case of Maradona and Bowie in the case of FErry). But at his peak no one came anywhere close to his achievements.

    When I walked you home, kissed goodnight

    It's funny how I could never cry
    Until tonight and you pass by
    Hand in hand with another guy
    You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying'
    Dance away the heartache
    Dance away the tears
    - Dance away
    Loneliness is a crowded room
    Full of open hearts turned to stone
    All together all alone
    All at once my whole world had changed
    Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
    Let the strobe light up them all
    I close my eyes and dance till dawn
    - Dance away
    Now I know I must walk the line
    Until I find an open door
    There was I - many times a fool
    I hope and pray, but not too much
    Out of reach is out of touch
    All the way is far enough

    Ferry is so cool. Who else could pull off a vibratto like he does and not sound ridiculous? In R&R, no-one dares doing a vibratto, simply because it doesn't go with the genre, but Ferry has always done it with panache and authority, in fact it is, in a sense, his trademark. What a suave dude.

    I was brought up with Roxy Music playing in my home and I always thought they were telling me their lives, like an extract from their diary. It was so unique & not repetitive. I even love their version of Jealous Guy better than the John Lennon version.

    Tim Jordan - thanks!!! I’m a 100% with you! Here’s my 5 cents: I was lucky enough to see Brian Ferry at a very small live concert in Germany, I’d say less than 1,000 people, with giant earthen owls eminating a scented smoke that, by it’s sweet odor, reminded me of something we used to “fly away” from our daily worries... It was a magic concert... stage catwalking straight into the crowd, Brian close enough to touch him, vibrating with a magical charisma that one would be unable to find these days in any of the so-called “stars”... That concert was pure magic, and I thank the lord on my knees that I was at the right place at the right time back then. My one man web design company that propelled me from the bottom to the top here in Thailand innthe late 90s was called Avalon, that should say it all. I love Roxy Music and Brian Ferry to bits. It was a magic time (80s and 90s)... A time that one can only dream of nowadays, where a socialist elite tries to strangle us all to death. My strength to overcome all this is the music of the 80s and 90s. Love to all you Roxy Music fans out there. ❤️☀️🇹🇭🏖🌴🥥🐘🌈
