Way ahead of its time with the feel and production of the song. There’s very similar type of records that have been out over the last few years with the similar sleek full production although based more around synthesisers rather that guitar drums and strings.
Yeah, the whole album is great. I dunno what the reactor is talking about with mismatched sounds. The production is awesome. It carried over the sound from Roxy Music's last album Avalon which had the same great vibe.
@@Scary__fun don’t know how he’s got as many subscribers but it’s an easy gig isn’t it put a music video on that everybody likes and pretend you haven’t heard it or any music ever before 😂
It's a summer love song. If you were deep in love, looking at a beautiful sunset and listening to this then you will get it. It's not a dance pop song - it's romantic.
You need to react to "More than this" By Roxy Music. Lead singer is Bryan Ferry and was released in their last album "Avalon" then Bryan Ferry went solo.
@@helenefrench4275 So your French, one of my fav artists of all time is: Mylène Farmer 😀 + one of my fav theme parks in the world is-Futuroscope! I'm in UK-England, you been?
It's an iconic song for me and this era of Roxy Music / B. Ferry so I don't see anything off with it but maybe it's because I grew up listening to him and his music so I am too used to it to see what could not have aged well with it.
I appreciate it when you don't like a song and say so - unlike other reviewers who are always fawning over anything, just to get more Patreon subscriptions... 🙄 This was a huge hit all over Europe. It's the opposite of experimental: Bryan Ferry had been around for ages as frontman of Roxy Music, who started as really weird and innovative glam rockers, then mellowed out during the years. The album is super simple for Ferry's standards, but it made him a global star. Sellout? Probably. But I think the song is smooth as silk, and an absolute peak of mid-Eighties sound and production.
I love samba, and this is rock soulfully samba like Santana did. It was a big hit at the time, with the best musicians and the best 80s director for the clip; what else? Nobody's perfect, you're not, but this song, yes! 😋…I'm kidding, of course. All tastes are in the nature. If it weren't, life would be so linear… 😊
Bryan Ferry is an icon, this track was released about 3 years after his highly influential band Roxy Music disbanded. the sound and style of This track was really an extension of Roxys final album Avalon ( which is a classic ). He had a solo career thought his years with the band stretching back a decade before this. The song has endured for 4 decades now and has appeared in several soundtracks so I'm not sure where you are coming from it is a bona fide 80s classic but to each their own.
Written by Bryan Ferry. Keith Scott on the guitar 🎸 solo. He is in the band of Bryan Adams. Roxy Music reunited in 2022 to celebrate 🍾 50 years 🎂. RM influenced Adam Ant, Culture Club and other New Wave musicians. RM and Chic heavily influenced Duran Duran.
I had not listened to Ferry in 35 years. I loved this song back in the day. It went with me from LA to Yokosuka, Japan when was transferred there. I wore it out.
I first heard this song in the film 9 1/2 weeks and enjoyed it. It actually goes with the movie and there is a clip Slave To Love (9 1/2 Weeks), shorter than this one. This is my 1st time seeing the original video. I've included a link but you need to scroll a few seconds. th-cam.com/video/gkKKLFjSxbc/w-d-xo.html
Dereck, I completely disagree with you about the sounds mis-match-it is a banger of a song and great production! + with the 80's you don't just think synths do ya-very silly thing to say! Great synths in this song with blend of guitars etc
From the RM swan song Avalon onto solo albums Boys and Girls and then Bete Noire you won't get a more sensual atmospheric miod/vibe 3 album stretch this side of Sade
Sometimes I read that some people seems upset or disappointed when you don’t like a song but,hey, no big deal : it doesn’t make me ❤ it less. So what’s the problem ? I like you being honest and true to your musical tastes. I love Bryan Ferry, a mix of class and killing instrumentations but it doesn’t bother me that you don’t like. 😊 Not everybody could like everything, this is just normal … 😅
Ɓy itself, I would have reacted to this song much the same as you. But after doing a deep dive into Bryan Ferry's music with the incredibly innovative Roxy Music & following his creative path since, I just love this. He constantly experiments with the production of new music he writes. His music has a subtle seductive power - just delicious ❤🔥❤
You really need to check out Bryan's band Roxy Music, one of the most innovative and influential bands Britain has ever produced! Try the studio recordings of "Out of the Blue" or "Editions of You" for starters.
Interesting reaction. You can tell from the beginning how underwhelmed you were, looking almost bored. For me, this song is one of the ultimate 80's songs, so cool, so catchy and with an undercurrent of energy his later songs lacked. If you want real experimentation from Ferry, try listening to the first albums of Roxy Music. The music you react to is so varied, songs from all kinds of bands and decades, from time to time I find one that I like, so I come back to your reactions now and then. Just watched you listening to Suzanne Vega and then discovered this one. Anyway: You're a pleasure to watch and to listen to, whether you like the song or not.
Bryan Ferry is great, but sometimes I feel like the videos actually detract from the experience. Try "Kiss And Tell" - up tempo, great bassline. Video features women that were involved in real life sex scandals.
You all would love Night Moves by Marilyn Martin from the same time-period, it's amazing and much better than this one, plus her video is about vampires. ;-)
Bryan Ferry is the King of Cool. His vocals, his style of dress....he was the epitome of GQ back in the day.
Mr. Class of the 80’s, this song was a huge hit and it is an iconic song from that era, that style of music was also revolutionary.
This song was HUGE it is Such a Vibe even after all these years! Simply Gorgoeus!
Way ahead of its time with the feel and production of the song. There’s very similar type of records that have been out over the last few years with the similar sleek full production although based more around synthesisers rather that guitar drums and strings.
It was magical

This is such a beautiful 80s song. Your normally on point with this genre Derek. This felt like you were in a bad mood heading into the video.
It's a summer love song. If you were deep in love, looking at a beautiful sunset and listening to this then you will get it. It's not a dance pop song - it's romantic.

Bryan Ferry's first solo album was released in 1973!
@@alaska_uk1303 Ik but he went full solo after Avalon.
This is a sensual song that was part of the soundtrack of many romantic movies during romantic scenes. It was a gigantic hit back then!
There's nothing cheesy about "Slave to Love". 😀
He was talking about that man and woman dancing not the song!
Love Brian Ferry and Roxy Music... And one of the best songs from the 80s 😊
Please react to his "Don't stop the dance". It's just perfect
A classic 80. 's slow dance. Thé sound is for Europe, same sound as Cock Robin. Both did not work in USA but famous in Europe. ❤
You are right it was Huge in France :)
@@helenefrench4275 So your French, one of my fav artists of all time is: Mylène Farmer 😀

I'm in UK-England, you been?
On est tous des imbeciles et Maman a tort sont mes preferees de Mylene Farmer.
I live in the Uk
Cock Robin was american
"Kiss & Tell" is my favourite. And "The Right Stuff". "Avalon" and "Jelous Guy" are good too.
A great example of high style, a great song supported by great production.
Love this song. Huge hit back in the day
This amazing song was in the tape compilation that my uncle made me for my first Communion. My uncle is an expert on pop music.
Boys and Girls is a GREAT album!
This dude is a musical fool. How can you not like this? Crazy
Lol😅 you can say that again

RM certainly influenced Spandau Ballet and the rest of the New Romantic movement. Countless kids were conceived to this epic gem.
This is probably one of the smoothest songs ever written tbh

Great band.It’s been a favourite of mine for a long time
The beard had a run-in with a black box dye haha
You had to be there then! We had the best music
SophistiPop was Big inthe 80's too - it was just Not All Synths.
He knows this, so when he made that comment I just rolled my eyes!

Avalon is a brilliant song, so is jealous guy
I love Bryan Ferry....listen to "Avalon" ;& "More than This"
Avalon, More then this and Jealous guy, are also brilliant (Roxy music where Bryan Ferry was the lead singer)
❤ this song
You really need to check out Bryan's band Roxy Music, one of the most innovative and influential bands Britain has ever produced! Try the studio recordings of "Out of the Blue" or "Editions of You" for starters.
That's my favorite song ever ❤❤❤
Being used to Roxy Music this just feels like a continuation, i prefer Don’t Stop The Dance for better sound and lyrics
A super song. Hurts so much.
Check out Roxy music's back catalogue
I was expecting more from you actually. Although this song was released in 1985 you didn't approve it? What?
Mondino, le meilleur
Temazo !!!

pls nex reaction London Boys im gonna give my heart
Brother, This sound is before you

Hey Derek are you ,French Canadian?
You all would love Night Moves by Marilyn Martin from the same time-period, it's amazing and much better than this one, plus her video is about vampires. ;-)
I think you must have been having a bad day when you reviewed this .....the song is actually about his Father's love for his Mother .....
Ferry's classical. 80's classical. May be not for your generation.
Generation has nothing to do with it, my 2 nephews love this song!
Are you kidding me
Please react song Hazard by Richard Marx.
English uk pop rock are the best
who is she??
Je préfère cette version live :
