I remember buying the album the day it came out. That evening, at a friend's house while playing this track, said friend's mum said 'There'll never be another Bing Crosby" so I replied "No, and there'll never be another Bryan Ferry either!" 😂😂😂
@@catherinehamer5653 Sprechstimme: the knife's edge on one side of which is overpowering charm; on the other, embarrassing, cringe-making failure. "Magic theatre. Not for everyone."
Not easy to make a good cover that withstands time about this great classic of Lady Day. However, think Brian Ferry did a remarkable one. Same as with "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", Ferry proves here to be a renewer of jazz great standards. Original and good way to approach it.
Oh will you never let me be? Oh will you never set me free? The ties that bound us, are still around us There's no escape that I can see And still those little things remain That bring me happiness or pain A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things Remind me of you
Oh for the 30s no mobile fones no other high tech stuff just clean living (probably) and stuff like this.if you could afford it (and many couldn't)I sure they had a great time bliss!!
Director: Bryan, I gotta tell you something. I'm afraid we've spent all the money we had on that party last night... I don't think we'll be able to shoot your video. Bryan Ferry: Remember that girl who played the piano? Director: The one I almost picked up? Bryan Ferry: Let me call her. I've got an idea.
I wish! I only met Bryan Ferry on the day when he turned up hours late so, never mind money, we had practically no time. And the "girl", to the best of my recollection was a transvestite who couldn't play the piano (which is why you never see "her" hands!).
@onemargaretable This guy went to school 5 miles from where my hometown is - Sunderland he's from Washington and sat beside the drummer in my band at school.
Holt Marvell's real name was Eric Maschwitz and he was a fascinating character...he wrote film screenplays...married to Hermione Gingold ...These Foolish Things apparently written about a fling with a cabaret singer...I search charity shops in vain for his autobiography No Chip On My Shoulder.
Well. 4.39 minutes whilst Bryan didn't tug on a cigarette. Another life saved - Hurrah! for five minutes. great writwer and performer though - the hunting get.
Astonishing how one small island island can produce so much musical and theatrical talent.
😅
Another boy from the northeast.
@@Paul-y5g7bTrue tho
The scattaco style is Bryan Ferrys hallmark, this song is perfect, he sings as if having a conversation across the table. Original style, perfect 😊
Why do people wait till say what a great loss ,appreciate him now ,your are a legend Mr ferry ,🥰
Please let him live forever ….. that young Bry is pure magic ❤

best rendition EVER!
That is Ferry. A classic, that brings the past to life. If you don't like then go else where
Wonderfully creative.
Absurdly outstanding.
Heartbreakingly breathtaking.
Exactly 💯
Mr Ferry could cover any song with style.
Quality. Pure class. Great memories. What a song. Brilliant.
Genius cover by the master Mr Ferry, never been a better brittish rock star, totally original voice, brilliant
It's not out of tune, it's perfectly in tune and perfectly interpreted. So there.
You're tone-deaf.
It’s a mixture of melody and sprechstimme (which is an undefined spoken pitch) which Ferry often uses skilfully

I love Bryan Ferry, and the way he delivers this, it song melts my heart ❤
Every song he covers he makes his own completely, such a talent we love you Bryan!
You've hit the nail on the head! On his own he's one of the best cover artists ever, especially his version of a hard rains gonna fall!
an all time classic he was so good with songs like this
What a legend 👏
How could someone not like this groovy tune
i'd say non-romantics don't get it
Smashing version of an old classic, always loved it..
OMG where as that time gone?? Bryan you are the best💘💞😘
I like very much Brian Ferry and the Roxy Musick. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland
This was one of my late mother's favourite records
Swan matches! Thank u Mr Ferry for putting this LP in all the record shops.
The best version of this song EVER.
I agree
smoothest of the smooth just class
A crooner in his own way
Love this song!
The coolest man on the planet
Beautifully smooth and heartfelt
An inspired moment in the history of performing arts.
What a great song, I can cry...
Oh my , I just love this ❤
idk where or how I find the songs I find. but Im glad I do.
Simply a Class Act.....
Sweet memories reminding of a former lover 🌹
Beautiful, heartbreaking song.

Sublime
if you dont like an artist then you shouldnt listen to them. Find someone you do like and let people enjoy tasteful music :)
Oh will you never let me be?
Oh will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us, are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
thank you
✨Charm & talent✨
Bryan Ferry does Bing Crosby!!! It doesn't get any better!!
Oh how sooo much better this is than all those dreadful jazz pretensioubations!
dedicated to john 1952-1978 luv ya brother...
Just Another classic of his 🥰
Brilliant
Anyone listening in 2024 ?

Me! What a great version ❤
This is really helpful for my music exam.
Debut album was gold certificate in uk
The epitome of cool. Fabulous
Oh my ,love him ,you will always remind of you ❤,
These foolish things ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh for the 30s no mobile fones no other high tech stuff just clean living (probably) and stuff like this.if you could afford it (and many couldn't)I sure they had a great time bliss!!
thats what makes Bryan Ferry so original, its effortlessly cool, he is musing through the song, its perfect
The long version is better. A minute or so more, and an extra verse.
absolutamente perfeito. ❤
So fantastic, so handsome
Great Bryan
These Foolish Things, and a few of my own, remind me of you, Charlize and Belle..I Love You 💞🐩✝️🍀❤️🔥👁️👑🌹🍀🤑🤤⭐🇨🇦🇺🇸
Still want to marry him after falling in love with him in the 90s
Mr smooth.
Strachey and Link would've approved I think !
Bryan Ferry, he’s so fucking amazing🎶🖖🏽
I’m sure we will make lovely music together ❤❤
sooooo good
Jammie .....
@ElisabethsOneLineShow-gg5qz. Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here.
@@realbryanferry Thanks. If there's something, I would love to hear it from you ....
@ElisabethsOneLineShow-gg5qz I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
Fab stuff. Before Brian lost it. Apart from Phil manzerneras. Epic album. Brilliant ❤️⭐️🕊👏🏻👍🏽

Marco ti amo piu' della mia vita😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Marco ti amo pii' di titto😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
@onemargaretable This guy went to school 5 miles from where my hometown is - Sunderland he's from Washington and sat beside the drummer in my band at school.
Stismo insieme tutta la notte amo mio😂😂😂😂❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
He was meta before meta.
@onemargaretable I always felt that the intention was to look like a gigolo who had been hoisted by his own petard. A very sad but attractive image.
I love Brizza but the real credit goes to the writers, Holt Marvell and Jack Strachey,
Holt Marvell's real name was Eric Maschwitz and he was a fascinating character...he wrote film screenplays...married to Hermione Gingold ...These Foolish Things apparently written about a fling with a cabaret singer...I search charity shops in vain for his autobiography No Chip On My Shoulder.
This song, and all my other favourite love songs are all a bit goofy and vulnerable. Because being in love is goofy and vulnerable.
@bidibi83 long live foolish things!
🙏
Marco ti amo piu' di tuto🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
❤
Is it true? Wow!
Bryan looked strangely menacing in lounge lizard gear.
I heard it on the radio this afternoon so no menace for me 🥰
Yes me adore BF
ACE
U sound like me
dude.x
@Jai77 Well, don't listen to it. While you're at it, don't go around posting comments on a song saying how much you dislike it.
Well.
4.39 minutes whilst Bryan didn't tug on a cigarette.
Another life saved - Hurrah! for five minutes.
great writwer and performer though - the hunting get.
Are you watching Rod Stewart ...
@hoplea No its your ears that are out of tune. Get them fixed!
Ferry at his ponciest ....! Nobody did it better ..!
