"More Than This" is a 1982 single by English rock band Roxy Music. It was released as the first single from their final album, Avalon, and was the group's last top-ten UK hit (peaking at No. 6). Although it reached only No. 58 on the US Billboard Rock Top Tracks chart, it remains one of Roxy Music's best-known songs in America.
American alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs released a successful cover version in 1997 which peaked at No. 25, and British singer Emmie released cover that reached No. 5 in the UK in January 1999.
The cover of the single's release is the painting Veronica Veronese, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, which was completed in 1872 with Alexa Wilding as the model.
The song was written by the lead singer Bryan Ferry, who has stated in interviews that he began writing the songs for Avalon while on the western coast of Ireland, which he believes contributed to the dark melancholy of the album.
"More than This" is somewhat unusual for a pop song in that Ferry's lead vocals end at 2:45 minutes, leaving the last 1:45 minutes as a synthesizer-driven instrumental outro
More Than This
Roxy Music
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
Ooh there's nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
No there's nothing
More than this
Nothing
More than this
More than this
Nothing

Oh that sounds great. Don’t get burnt 🥵
I finally got an opportunity to listen to your version mate and what a great job you’ve done!! Love how you’ve recorded all of the parts, much better than lazy old me with just one guitar. Great stuff 👏👏👏
Thanks mate. I actually envy anyone like you that can simply play a guitar and sing a song all in one take. Appreciate it mate 👍
Wow Lee, Vocals are amazing on this one pal! well done! Wasnt much of a Roxy fan back then but have learned to appreciate them over the years. Tight cover Lee.. super impressed
Thanks Rich. One of those I had on my tick off list. They were well produced at the time. Appreciate that mate.
Great cover done by yourself this is one of my faves of theirs 😍🤘👍
I really appreciate that Alicia. Super glad you enjoyed it. All the very best to you 🥂😀👍
O melhor cover que teve até agora
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much. All the very best and Happy New Year 😀👍
Excelente felicitaciones
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much. All the very best 😀👍
I've been listening to a few covers of this song, and I'll say yours has been the best so far. Good job!
Thanks for that. That’s made my day. Appreciate it 👍👌
What a great song to listen to. Your overall performance here was stellar as always. You have a special tone in your voice that feels extremely familiar. It's a bit hard to explain, but it's really great and it always goes so well in your covers. Your originals too have that special feeling also because of it. You just seem to be able to match a certain feeling and I know I probably sound like a broken record by now, but it's always something I take note of when listening to your originals and covers. Excellent job! 👍 👍
I really appreciate that. That’s a lovely thing to say. Super glad you enjoyed it. All the very best to you 🥂😀👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney Hey no problem brother! All the very best too you too and thank you!! 🤝 🤝
Sounds pretty awesome Lee, but when do any of your covers not? Great vocal and perfect instrumentation. Top notch my friend.
Thanks I’m really glad you enjoyed this one Ken 😀👍
Well done! Great performance!
Cheers Danijela. I’m happy you liked this one. Hope you are doing well 😀👍
Wonderful cover Lee... voice sounds great in this high register
Cheers bud
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much John All the very best 😀👍
Mate that was quality everything was spot on your voice fits this song so well 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cheers mate. I’m happy you liked this one. Hope you are doing well 😀👍
Great cover music and singing
Cheers mate. I’m happy you liked this one. Hope you are doing well 😀👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney You are welcome Leeroy. I am doing great, hope you are too
Waaaaaaaw you do fantastic performance dear friend. I have been thinking 100 💯 times to use Cubase or other program, but it ended up using the capabilities of the 16 channels with the built-in voices in my yamaha 2000.
I really appreciate that. Super glad you enjoyed it. All the very best to you 🥂😀👍 You don’t need Cubase. You are do fine without it
Great cover! I really enjoyed! Well done!
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much. All the very best 😀👍
I have your talent Lee mate. I just choose not to show it for personal reasons. 😐
Yeah, right!
In my dreams only! 😫
As always, fantastic job mate!! 👍🏻
Regards, Dave
Thank you Rodney. And Dave you have lots of talent only surpassed by your handsome looks 😀🤩👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney 😂😂 Now *THAT* made me laugh mate!! 😂😂😂
Hey Leeroy I totally forgot to shout you out last night on the stream... It's been the busiest week! I appreciate you my friend... This was such an incredible performance my friend! Keep rocking it out the way you do...
Thanks Terrill and that’s ok. I forgot to say feel free to put on your channel. You’re awesome. Hope you keep being busy you deserve it😀👍🥂
Sounds great. Wonderful cover.
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much. All the very best 😀👍
Oh wow this suits your voice really well my friend. Loving that bassline too my friend. Always adored this song, and you got that mix perfect 😃👍 oh and that guitar solo at the end 😍
Thanks mate. I had meaning to go this one for ages. The keyboard wax hardest because it was in DFlat so I had to use a lot of black keys 😂. Nearly at 500 mate. Well done that’s huge 😀👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney cheers fella. My views are abysmal at the mo though. Hardly getting above 50-60. Starting to pull my hair out at what I’m doing wrong 😢
I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. It just comes in waves. I found mixing in more originals has helped views a lot. My top 3 out of last ten were all originals. I find them quick to do though. I know not everyone does though.
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney well I’ve got a lot of originals I could record. I’ve also done one (that’s finished) with Tim so will release that soon and see if I can put a few originals out. Can’t hurt, cheers my friend 😃👍
Sounds amazing, well done 💕👍
I really appreciate that. Super glad you enjoyed it. All the very best to you 🥂😀👍
Fantastic rendition, Lee, and great choice. As Hans mentioned, very difficult to sing for the high notes, I bet you have your small size blue jeans on hehehehehe. José
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much. All the very best 😀👍 yes pants are off now 😅
Nailed it.
Cheers Gregory. Appreciate it mate 👍
Bravo!🇧🇷❤️🍷🗿
Thank mate. You are always welcome. Cheers heAps 🥂😀👍
This is such a fantastic video! Nicely done!
Thats so nice of you to say Kevin. I hope your day is going well for you. 😀👍
Awesomeness right there Lee!!! Oh I would have loved to sing that one,, but I think you did it better then I could have done:))
Thanks mate but I would love to hear you do a version 😀👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney
I think Slave to love is the one for me, 😁 think I can sing that okay.
Nice one 👍
superb !! great performance Leeroy !!
Aww Thanks for that. I’m rapt you liked it so much. All the very best 😀👍

very nice Video!
I really appreciate that. Super glad you enjoyed it. All the very best to you 🥂😀👍
Super cool Lee!!!
Cheers mate. I’m happy you liked this one. Hope you are doing well 😀👍
That's very well handled. I certainly don't have any notes. You've got enough Ferry/Roxy Music covers up now that I feel like I'm sleeping on them. I only know Don't Stop The Dance.
Thanks mate. That is a great song. You should try it 👍
good job
Thanks so much. I’m flattered you liked it so much. Cheers 🥂😀👍
Good job…. But nothing compares to the voice of Bryan..
I know that but I have a go. He happened to be unavailable. Maybe just listen to Bryan if that’s the case
Its ok not as good as ferry
But is it better than what you could do 😂
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney yes but I'm not a musician I said they were ok
@tonydoherty2190 I saw Ferry other night it’s a shame he’s getting old.
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney it is unfortunate he's getting older but unfortunately there's only one other alternative the grim reaper
@tonydoherty2190 yep. My fave track of his was the cover These Foolish Things
