    Roxy Music at this stage of their career were the masters of smooth, sophisticated funk. No one comes close, even today.

    My two favorite parts of this music video is when the synth comes in at 0:36 and when Bryan Ferry sings the lyrics, "You can take me even higher," and hits that high note at 0:55. One of my favorite albums I own on cassette.

    THIS SONG is right up there with "Don't stop the Dance": ))) Gives me hope there is still a little 80s in our music today!!! Love this!!! Feeling sooo nostalgic of my youth: ) Thank you Bryan Ferry. Also loving the Parisienne French at the end. She talks tooo fast ..but seems she's talking about how infatuated she is with a man she met ...I can catch a few phrases. Lemme see if I can translate.

    • @cindydownard
      @cindydownard 4 роки тому +1

      @adeleh2905 4 роки тому +3

      You're right roughly translated she says : I will have to put up with all the slowdancing tonight again... How nice it would be to be in Brian Ferry arms, I will think about him while dancing with André that way it'll be like having Brian Ferry in my arms. (sigh) Especially seing him like that, it lets your imagination run wild. I sure that if I lived with him, I would hold him, talk to him, get him drunk (/annoy him ?), poor guy : he would never sleep.
