@@kenrussell1635 Still play them both now! Bill Nelson at his sublime peak as a songwriter and guitarist. And 10cc such brilliant songwriters - Sheet Music is superb.
Just want to chime in that it's not super-killer virtuoso stuff that folks love to rave about (he's like the freaking greatest guitarist ever dude!) but it's just so smooth and beautifully performed and constructed and TBH it IS also totally virtuoso. Just perfect and brilliant. This solo is ingrained in my memory as the signature of this song.
In 1999, the singer came into the bar I worked at in Tribeca NYC, nobody recognized him but me anyway, I put the song black coffee in bed on the jukebox and he jumped on the bar and sang to the song, was an epic moment in my life, love this band so much, always have
Omg, love this story!! I lived in NYC during those years and 1999 was by far my favorite years out of a string of outstanding years!! Almost close to tears whenever I recall NYC in the 90s. Having said that, I’m crazy bout Squeeze and cannot imagine an epic moment like that. Whatever happened to that NY? Downtown still had its edge...memories lol
@@josephhertzberg2734 totally agree! It’s so nice to hear from people who were there who also witnessed such a carefree moment in that city. It seemed everyone was healthy, happy, prosperous and free. New restaurants, interesting conversations with people you just met, a Hamptons share with 40 other people lol. It was a blast
No-one wrote a hook like Glenn Tilbrook and no-one wrote lyrics like Chris Difford. It's criminal that they weren't more commercially successful. A massively under rated and under appreciated band.
didn't listen to their lyrics so much though if you thought no politics, I think some don't realise politics is everywhere most of it isn't party politics
@@newtoncooper4085 Hang in there friend- seriously- deep breaths. Songs like this remind us there is a reality beyond political grandstanding. There are things worth working for that politics can't touch: Art, family, friends. keep to your core values, whatever they are. And play more "Squeeze" at parties! You'll be oh so cool.
Again, as I said earlier, Gilson Lavis is a killer drummer. I've been a drummer for 26 years, and I've always regarded Mr. Lavis as a very underrated drummer. More so, Squeeze were and still are a underrated band. But his overall approach to drumming is great. Awesome pocket. Brilliant fills. Always tasteful. All extremely vital and complimentary to the songs. Also, in general, its fun to watch him play. So much energy. Yes sir. There's a reason why he played with Jerry Lee Lewis, Dolly Parton & Chuck Berry. Incredible man. Sorry to get all fan boy. But the man deserves more cred. No one can argue that. Cheers.
Gilson is a great drummer I've seen him play live a couple of times with Jools and he is top drawer. Smooth effortless style he should have more recognition as he's right up there!
At the age of 13 I was going out & buying stuff like this. I may not have achieved much in life but I give myself credit for a great taste in music from an early age.
Dude, most no one achieves anything in life. No matter how extraordinary or unique we may be in our generation, the best we can do is have Squeeze stuck in our heads when everyone else prefers pure crap.
Glenn Tilbrook has to be one of the most underrated guitarists in rock and pop music. His solos are melodic, amazing and never try to sound like blues or rock licks. They are all melody that perfectly mimic his own voice.
Agreed! Squeeze is a huge influence on our songwriting. Check out The Deep Drags..we are an indie power pop group with hits "Wake Up Cinderella", "Snoozin Tree Lane" and "You Don't Know Love". On UA-cam and all music streaming platforms.

An excellent solo there to be sure. Glenn plays his guitar in much the same way as Jimmy Page does in terms of how he holds it and handles it. To my eye,the similarities are almost uncanny.
I had the privilege of watching Glen in the Woodside hotel in Aberdour Fife ,absolutely surreal what a singer and guitar player even shoke his hand afterwards !

@@imannonymous7707, another Canadian here, we got all the best stuff from the UK back in the day didn't we! I was just raving about what a great year 1979 was (on an XTC "Making Plans For Nigel" video), Argybargy came out just after that. A fantastic time for music.
Amazing song, fantastic guitar lead, storytelling lyrics. There’s not one member of Squeeze that doesn’t make a substantial contribution to each and every song.
The guitar solo is perfection. Not one note too much, or too little. It compliments the song's melody line perfectly. The placing of it in the song is a breath of fresh air too. After the first verse, right out of left field. Tilbrook: "Right, here's a perfect guitar solo where you weren't expecting a guitar solo... now, back to the song".
These guys were magic. Many hits but it could have gone further. Maybe it was that tongue in cheek english humour that the yanks would never get in a million years, dunno. They should have ruled the world.

I'll believe til the day I die (and I've been playing for close to 40 years now), that this song has *the* best guitar solo of the entire 80s of any pop genre.
Absolutely. A minute ago, I commented that this solo is about as good as I've ever heard, but it is definitely the best one to come out of the 80's! I never get tired of hearing it or the complete song, for that matter!
I had the honor of opening for Tilbrook on one of his solo tours. I was gobsmacked at what a monster guitar player he was, and what a performer. The songs and voice were a given, but...WOW.
I had a feeling he was a beast on guitar. You can tell by how he's soloing here in this video. And you just know he got ALL the babes too. I hope he's doing well.
I didn't really appreciate Squeeze as a young man, but age, and playing guitar myself, I now have a lot of respect for their talent. Tilbrook especially, is just awesome.
One of the greatest songs of all time, by one of the greatest (and most underrated) bands of all time.... and THAT guitar solo,..... one of the best ever
So many brilliant tunes (and bands) came out of the post punk and new wave scene. But this song scratches that nostalgic itch like no other. Tilbrook's voice, the swirling guitar and bass lines, and that perfect driving beat. Oh...but then lets top it off with a masterclass guitar solo. What the hell was that!!??
I remember watch this video on a late night video program before MTV debuted(NightFlight?).There we’re only about 5 videos in rotation! This was one of them.
William One of the cathiest records ever made met Glen Tilbrook recently before he came on stage to play,a really modest and pleasant person. I really appreciate his talent and was a fan of sqeeze when I was a youngster in the late 1970s, such a great time for music .
There’s so much going on in this song, but the thing that always floors me is how unusual it is to have a guitar break after just the first verse and chorus. And yet, for all that’s unusual about it, it makes sense here. It’s almost like it gives the listener time to breathe, to reflect, like they just had a shot of whiskey and now they’re contemplating life. Unexpected and totally perfect.
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE hey Jonathan, hope you`re having a good day. (myself; Squeeze - ANimH 14:25 today!!!) don`t know if we`re about the same age? but couldn`t agree more! bestest wishes, lou xxx
