  • With all this interest in Duffy at the moment its forced me to dig out some of my Bernard Butler videos .
    Duffy related as ex Suede guitarist Bernard Butler is her song writer and producer as well as being a fantastic guitarist .
    His songs always managed to bring out the best in Mc Almonts voice in thier partnership and they do the same for Duffy .
    Im also a great lover of Phil Spector and Roy Wood style of "wall of Sound" productions and Bernard Butler seems to be able to always pull it off and remind me of that stuff.

    One of the best and most accurate descriptions i ever heard was a music critic who said that when MacAlmont opens his mouth a cathedral falls out of it, his voice is amazing

    One of THE most underrated songs of the last gazillion years. Bloody fantastic!

    Blur? Oasis? THIS defined the 90's, for me.
    Stunning song.

    How can a breakup song sound so beautiful? Pure perfection.

    One of the best songs ever... Spector did this in his dreams... Butler is a hell of a producer but the voice of David McAlmont is where its at... this band deserved better than they got... 10 years too early I guess...

    I never tire of this song. Loved it back in the day, and love it now. It still gives me goose bumps. Its the whole package, the voice, the strings, everything. One word..WOW

    My neighbours are sick of hearing me try to hit these high notes as I sing-along-a-David! My favourite song ever....and glad to see Mr McAlmont with a bit of meat on his bones these days....BTW, his 2011 rendition of this is spectacular....

    I have been listening to this all day - it's incredible, the vocal, the arrangement, the crescendo, the swell of the song, it keeps going, the lyrics, the performance - that guy fascinates me.

    This song should be re-released it's brilliant. There is a lot of naff music and poor artist's around at the moment. True talent can stand the test of time and I'm sure there will be many people of all generations who will appreciate this fantastic duo.

    This song is glorious and it's very special to me in that it helped me through a tough time with a PSYCHOTIC ex-girlfriend who put me through hell! The chorus sums it up perfectly!

  • @vids4doobs
    @vids4doobs 13 років тому +39

    That voice! A gift from God - straight up. He reminds me of Grace Jones, the way he moves. And genius writing. Those lyrics are just classic. Food for the soul. Wonderful. I am so with you on this, macca5678. Has got to be re-released. Pure, raw talent like this being left on the sidelines, with so much crap being played right now - it's just criminal.

    bloody LEGENDS the pair of 'em. met them once in manchester on the comeback tour - really nice guys. bernard is THE finest guitarist of the britpop set and david has THE best voice in the chuffing world!
    This was completely the soundtrack to my teens.

    This sums up all that is great about Bernard Butler- from the beautiful, sad, harrowing music of Dog Man Star to the beautiful, happy, upbeat music of 'Yes', in only a year.

    Soooo happy to have found this song again. I saw the video once on Z-TV in Sweden and never found out who they were or the name of the song. Then I never heard it again until now. Downloaded ripped and safely saved on 3 different hard discs, I even ordered a copy through Mp3va. Brilliant clip and great arrangement and McAlmont is a great singer.
