Song Link: • Roxy Music - In Every ...
Year 1973: this song shows what "pushing the boundaries" means.
And can I point out how cool the cover is?
Greatest album. Greatest cover of all time.
The cover girl is Amanda Lear
God I love Roxy Music. Every era, every album. Please continue this journey.
I love the Eno years the best
This is also my favourite Roxy Music song. It almost foretells the dark, atmospheric post-punk music of the early to mid-80s.
An interesting, if rather dark track this. The brooding, long, intro that exudes tension, but you just know something else's coming. Then it bursts into a slow, almost dirty rock groove, with some crackin' guitar work. And that ending, the false fade out, before it reprises. Musically, it's clever stuff. And all the while BF narrates, almost whispering in that lilting style, on life, decadence, and his blow up girlfriend. This is fantastic stuff.
The building towards the payoff is so incredibly done, Ferrys vocal delivery portrays the desperation of the songs character descending into the isolation of loneliness and obsession and yearning for the most precious of emotions being love. The second part of this track well its just incredibly free formed and sonically beautiful
There is a great performance of this on their live album Viva!, a really great live album you should checkout. Isn't it interesting the number of rock songs about sex dolls? The line "My breath is inside you" has always struck me as a brilliant piece of writing. What a great image!
Yes it is so much better Live, Wetton and the guys are Great on that version !!!
Their first 5 albums are fantastic.
Have I ever told you how much I love the fact that you don’t pause?
Well thank you:) I like to hear a complete song before talking about it, doesn't quite make sense to me otherwise lol!
You should check out eno’s debut album “Here Come The Warm Jets”
And Before and After Sciences, and Another Green World, and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy.
Ferry's lyrics are perfect. He knows how to paint a picture. I've heard of people describing what he does as painting a song and I agree. These are probably my favourite lyrics he's written. I agree that you feel content with the instrumentals provided for the first part of the song. You're already put in this specific mood and then they just shred it to pieces. When its done you almost don't know what to do with yourself.
You know that he was a painter, right? He's described songwriting as very much like painting. (I don't see it, but cool, he's a brilliant songwriter.)
I have seen this song performed three times Live. I live in Canada, America was late to the party when it came to Roxy music
I was one of those who recommended you react to this song, and your reaction didn't disappoint me. "But you blew my mind" is such a great moment in Rock for me. 'Editions of You' is another one from this album that I love. Thanks for the video.
Ty for recommending it! :D
Just a word to thank you, Justin. You may be the only one who does great analysis, respects the songs by not interrupting them, but also the only one to be so eclectic. Who else does reactions to Kraftwerk, Van der Graaf or Greenslade ? You are the best. And I like watching reaction channels. I see a few others who are interesting, but you are the best.
Totally agree! Eclectic, insightful and humorous. On one of his videos posted on a VdGG FB group a commenter called him "a very bright genuine young man." Perfect description! The only reactor I check everyday.
@@markmaxwell1013 Same for me. He makes me discover new and old bands.
Appreciate that Chris :) Thank you
👍
The first two albums by Roxy Music are classics, sensational, and very influencial. And will blow your mind like this Dream Home…
Great you are getting into Roxy Music - I saw them on their first UK tour in 1972 - they were superb live.
Yes, this is Roxy when they were still in their arty/somewhat experimental stage. The song structure is brave and the guitar is probably Manzanera's best. Eno's presence remained for a while after he left the band but his loss robbed the band of their strangeness. Good one.
Not enough room in RM for 2 Brians/Bryans.
Sad I missed this so long ago. Great reaction. Remember when this was , early 1970's. Was anyone else writing songs about inflatable dolls. And so a generation was born.
Creepy and outlandish... I love it! No one like them before or after. Still one of my all time favorite musical acts.
Their album Country Life is the one closest to my heart. Great album cover too (Can related). But my favorite Ferry song is Windswept from his solo album. Their first album is also super.
To me Country Life was their high point when everything came together my favorite Roxy album and yeah the cover.
Hi JP. Dave from London. 1973 was a Pretty Good Year for albums, and that's an understatement. Topographic Oceans, Selling England, Piano Man, Aladdin Sane, Innervisions, Passion Play, Let's Get It On, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Band on the Run, Quadrophenia... and two Roxy Music albums, this one and Stranded. Magical song, probably just pipped by Bogus Man as my fave from FYP. Some really interesting background sounds, courtesy of Eno, as you say, including the phasing in the reprise which was popular in the late 60s (as on Itchycoo Park by the Small Faces and Rainbow Chaser by the original Nirvana)
A great decade for albums also!
@@Katehowe3010 Consider it done! Maybe Dark Side of the Moon, Countdown to Ecstasy, and Berlin too!
What a song, any contemporary band would be proud of it and it's nearly 50 years old.. There are some great live performances on the tube including Apollo 2001 and hall of fame induction. Great stuff JP!
To me the last verse was like the punch line to it all followed by that great guitar solo. "I blew up your body - but you blew my mind."💥
Roxy are one of those bands that are fundamental. If I’m invited to go and play with a band, Roxy are one of about 5 artists that if they don’t know them, it’s probably not worth playing with them.
Precisely.
Sparks, Roxy, bands that I've been listening to for 50 years or more. It makes me so glad that you young people are enjoying them now as I have for all these years
As the late John Peel observed, "where did (this) come from" - of early Roxy generally, meaning their sheer originality
'Grey Lagoons' is my favorite track on this album, for sentimental reasons...
Live? Yes of course: Viva Roxy Music!!! One of the ultimate live albums of all times. Includes in every dreamhome a heartache and many more songs performed at their peak! You’re gonna love it…
"I'll keep you til death sighs". Ever heard of a puncture repair kit Bryan?
A classic. Cheers from the UK.
"....But you blew my mind". This is my all time favorite Roxy track.
Hard drop.. Love Roxy Music great reaction Justin, thanks a lot.. Cheers
Someone's finally getting around to Roxy Music. Hurrah! "Dream Home" pairs well with both Eno's "Baby's on Fire", and Van Der Graaf's "The Last Frame".
The whole album is reaction worthy!
I saw Roxy Music on their first ever tour in England and everyone was blown away how good they were - fantastic band.
I have always enjoyed the late 70's/early 80's melodic Roxy Music. It was time I explored the earlier stuff.
Absolutely. The first two albums are their best!
Your reaction at the moment of reveal was hilarious.
Great reaction JP. Look forward to you doing more Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry. Strangely enough, Eno once stated that his favorite is the next album, Stranded, the one after he left. The somber and melancholy vibe is also throughout the Manifesto album (their disco album)
I love this - but also read that Eno thought the 3rd was the most fully realized, and I always thought the 3rd was an almost perfect record.
@@edwardmeradith2419 Could be. All of their music establishes their role as the seminal art rock/new wave band. I really like JP's reaction to Mother of Pearl. I don't expect any other music reactor to have the same...uh, open-mindedness, insightfulness,...er, wealth and taste?!?...to react to Roxy Music as well.
AWESOME. And freaky which is why I love it. The fade out and return, wow; 49 years ago!
Loved your non verbal reaction, especially when the guitars and drums kicked in. My favourite Roxy track, too from first listening as a 15 year old. Never bothered reading lyrics as sung so clearly, but had always assumed. ‘.......death’s eyes’ relating to the changes in appearance at or near death.
"Deluxe and delightful..." Lovelovelove this track. Along with DO THE STRAND, I played the egg-suckin' grooves off this track on radio in the mid-to-late 70s.
This would be a great soundtrack for something: this song, Be My Girl/Sally, Are Friends Electric, Fake Plastic Trees, Plastic Age by the Buggles. We're surrounded by plastic. It infuses our lives, gives us convenience, haunts our dreams. When you watch a film like Blade Runner, one of the things that is so compelling about that future is the absence of plastic. It's apocalyptic, but it feels authentic. Reminds me of Peter Gabriel's Lay Your Hands on Me too - "plastic flowers on the window sill, no more miracles, loaves and fishes, been so busy with the washing of the dishes".
My all time fave Roxy track. .Seen them and Bowie many times
Its a good one! How were they live?
Amazing and everyone engaged not filming on mobile phones. Good old days
For Your Pleasure is their best album. It's also Ferry's favorite.
My favorite also. Sheer genius.
One of their best!
So much great stuff from the 70's; it's almost endless. Check out the Roxy album Siren. My favs are Sentimental Fool and Just Another High.
Not a fan, but this is outstanding. Dark and decadent, stripping bare the layers of material prosperity to reveal the true horror of loneliness with surgical precision. Years ahead of its time.
Not a fan??? WTF??
@@SKYSAW59 I think he must fancies himself a writer...;)
I love Roxy Music.
Listen to Editions of You.
If you like their more unconventional atmospheric songs check out songs like “A Song For Europe” or “The Bogus Man”. Their mid 70s live album ‘Viva’ is a fantastic time capsule capture of their live set and includes a great version of this song
perfectly dissected I dig your veiw
Thank you budda :)
They were phenomenal live. Saw them with everyone but Eno on Manifesto Tour. Fifteen feet from Bryan. Amazing.
That’s a bucket list event achieved!
I like this. Especially creepy in mind hunter on netflix. They played this with a scene that had the btk killer. Hard to believe this is the same band that put out Avalon.
Was very fortunate to have seen them about '75 @ the Paladium in Hollywood. Smaller than most venues in L.A. Ferry just killed it. 😁
Consider me jealous lol!
Gorgeous
The live version is awesome
ooh u played it...made my day...
I LOVE this song, and have never understood why. I think it's the build and the brooding. Plus the band and Ferry sound so great here.
one day could we have "song for Europe" ? surely an early power ballad
I did help to prevent a girl from being murdered in Ferry’s home town of Washington, she replayed the favour by running alongside the train crying “But what about our baby”
So unique, Ferry was such a great lyricist. I do like the later material and his solo work too, but I really miss his inventiveness and unique inspired ideas of this period, his later work is so minimal and simplistic compared to this. Ferry packs so much into this song, and the clean but warm upfront vocals sound very confessional, like he's right next to you. The break and then into the soloing is thrillingly genius, one of Manzanera's best and Paul Thompson is maniacal on the drums, never ceases to give me goosebumps.
The FYP album has quite a few surprises. Interested in seeing your reactions to Strictly Confidential, The Bogus Man, and the title track.
It’s a great live song, when it goes LOUD. I’ve seen Bryan perform it a handful of times, and it’s always great.
"Amazona" also is extremely good, not quite so "substantial" but a great composition & arrangements, with similarly good guitar work and BF's vocal virtuosity
This is live on Viva! Roxy Music album… and it is simply stunning¡
Thank you! I was just going to suggest Mother Of Pearl when you mentioned it being blocked. 8 ^ {
Here you are 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/9IydotyUrho/v-deo.html
See live recording from early 70s on 'Old Grey Whistle Test'.
Great choice for Roxy
My parents divorced in the mid-70s and Dad moved to a Downtown highrise. Chrome and glass furniture, shag carpets wall-to-wall, digital clocks, glass fiber lamps with rotating colour wheels -- all the futuristic excess of the middle-aged man, lonely and filled with ennui. Some of those apartments even had sunken living rooms. A swimming pool on the Penthouse level, with saunas, and a 360 degree view of Montreal and Mount Royal.
I just don't want to know if Dad had a plastic hag.
Richard Hamilton was a pop artist who Bryan Ferry was influenced be (may have studied with him?) - Hamilton’s theme was how empty materialism was becoming (his subjects were kitchen appliances, moms in heels etc) - this lyric is still a favorite of mine.
ferry in this song, reminds me of lou reed and maybe jim morrison, on some of their tracks, soul, misery and wistfullness, yet emotive.
Such a great 2nd album!
Great. I've noticed there are not many Roxy reactions on YT. Not many could handle explaining it like you do!
Context. This is 48 years old and it's still contemporary.
48 years before the Beatles it was 1916, during WW1.
That's how advanced British (and German electronica by the way) music was in the early 70s.
When I first listened to this track and "Strictly Confidential" (from the same album), I thought to myself "What is this???", I hated it. I only knew Roxy Music by their radio-friendly tracks like "More Than This". Then I kept on keeping on, and I've been a fan ever since
This is an incredible song, foreshadowing the New Wave. The subject matter is unforgettable. You won’t be able to avert your “gaze”.
Roxy taking the piss from "serious" rock/pop in an elegantly wasted sounding mantra about a leaky artificial companion makes them my favorite.
We need an updated version of this for those new "real dolls"!
My favorite Roxy track! Pretty unique in their catalogue.
There's a lot of art in this. I believe the Brians (Ferry and Eno) were partly inspired by the work "Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?" by Richard Hamilton (the first work of pop art).
The live version of this song on the album Viva! is great. But Viva! also has what I think is the best thing they ever released: their live version of If There Is Something. Also stellar live versions of Out Of The Blue, and Both Ends Burning.
The best, most diverse selections in ALL reaction-dom. Eno processing others through his synths? My sound fidelity is somewhat lacking, but it sounds that way to me. I know it was part of his/their methodology. The others commenting here are spot on. Nobody else does this, or so well! Cheers, mate. 👍😘🎶🎤🎹🎸🔥💖
Yeah, this song is kinda like VDGG if Hammill were jaded or something.
"Manifesto" is my favorite Roxy Music album. Check out "Trash", a two-minute ditty, or perhaps "Ain't That So". Guarantee you'll dig 'em.
After years of not making music Roxy Music put out an album called "Avalon", their most polished and accessible album. Some beautiful stuff on that album.
You really need to look into Phil Manzanera's other solo and collaborative work. "Phil Manzanera's 801 Live" is a phenomenal album, heavy on the Eno. Check out their cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows". Or just about anything else off that album.
801 also put out a studio album, "Listen Now". Do the title track from that.
Or, if you want to get a real taste of pure Manzanera he put out an album called "Primitive Guitars". Some heavy s**t on that album.
Your plate is full.
Stronger through the years, one of their best hands down.
Saw them do it live in 1972
Roxy Music.. GOAT.
Justin, if you haven't done it yet, listen to "A Song for Europe"
One of my favorite bands and tracks. Lots of live versions of this song on YT from every era of their career. I personally like the Live at the Apollo DVD version. And of course the OGWT . Also check out the VIVA ROXY live audio only version.
@JustJP don't say it's the best until you hear if there is something by Roxy music
If you want changes in a soft ways if there is something is the song, most listeners don't even notice the tape change on the drum track,there is a huge punch in before the screech of Brian saying shake your hair girl with the ponytail
This is a great trance type song , but the content is about his purchase of a blow up sex doll for company , relating to the fact that the surrounds di nothing to Help his heartache. Bryan’s Vocals are totally unique, there has never been anyone who sounds like him and the original band were all incredible musicians. Reminds me of my high school days in Paisley. Scotland.
IIRC the first part is the last track of Side 1 of the vinyl album and the second part is the first track of Side 2.
I got a very early VdGG "haunted castle" vibe at first also. Could simply be about how empty success can feel sometimes. So many celebrities get caught up in addiction for example.
BTW FYI SW still seems to be down in the US.
Stay the best Justin! :-)
.
I'd love to see a reaction to 2HB, it's one of my favourite songs of theirs
Only the first 2 albums are like this. The third album is perfection, every track a gem (inc. Mother of Pearl). Then they changed and became a band that targeted the singles market, becoming more and more commercial. It coincided with Brian Eno leaving the band. He left during the recording of, or shortly after, the 3rd album
The third album "Stranded", considered their best by many, including Eno, was made AFTER Eno left.
@@lashedbutnotleashed1984 Yes, I'm aware he left. He does not receive any credits but was still present on some of the tracks. Eno was the real creative force. Ferry got the credit.
@@happilyeggs4627 Eno, the creative force behind Roxy? That is simply ridiculous. Bryan Ferry wrote ALL of the songs on the first two albums, with very little or no input from Eno. I would hardly call that being the creative force. Bryan Ferry was the creative force, with Eno just adding some synth noodling and a few backing vocals.
Even Eno himself said that Stranded was his favorite Roxy album, even though he had nothing to do with it. No, he was not present at all on "Stranded." By then he and Ferry were at odds with each other and did not communicate. Ferry had gotten sick of Eno's ideas to make the band more electronic. That would have been a disaster.
This was released in 1973. And to get an idea of how ahead of it's time it is. The poo charts were dominated by showaddywaddy Garry Glitter and the Sweet
Excellent analysis as always. Really enjoy your channel. Please consider doing a full album listen of their album "Siren". I love Roxy and it's my favorite. It starts with "Love is the Drug" and doesn't let up. Many different moods and the songs blend into one another and the sequence of songs is near perfection. It would be one of my "Desert Island" albums if I could only take a few albums to listen to for the rest of my life. It's amazing! On a totally unrelated note. When can we expect the remaining tracks from David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" album? The remaining songs are all classics and it's been awhile since the last one. :)
Mr. Ferry was likely referring to his girlfriend and model on that album cover Amanda Lear.
Yes! Phil Manzanera!
The 60's are really over by then. Lyrically brilliant.
No one in Roxy Music was rich at this early stage but even so maybe Ferry was considering the emptiness of fame and wealth. Or the grass is greener aspect of thinking a dream home represents something idealized when it is just like anything else. Loneliness or isolation can and does exist in all environments including dream homes.
Most underrated drummer?? Paul Thompson, the man is a beast!
Saw Ferry preform this live in the 80’s blew everyone away. LOL
If you liked this check out “sentimental fool” off the Siren album.
Check out "Avalon" from album of same name. Mother of Pearl is also great.
