Those scenes in _Flashbacks Of A Fool_ featuring this song were very memorable. Including the final scene. Good movie, highly recommend it. Good perfomance by Daniel Craig.
_Shake your head girl with your ponytail_
_takes me right back..._
Amazing lyric!
I agree. The young Beth is played by Felicity Jones. Emelia Fox is also in the film
Roxy’s first five albums are untouchable, so far ahead of their time. I’d recommend Out of the Blue, searing guitar work! Mother of Pearl as well....
Thanks!
@@intothemusic908 Mother of Pearl... OMG. What a piece of art!
The first album I ever heard, when I was 12, was "For your Pleasure" and I was hooked.
Then I got the debut album Roxy Music" .
I am now 61 and still think those two albums are totally unique, full of energy, and just inventiveness.Bloody brilliant.
Try ,Beauty Queen, from the For your pleasure album.
Very strange , or if you dare listen to Strictly Confidential, from the same album.
Glad to see you guy's reacting to this and would love to see you check out more Roxy. Those early albums especially are just fantastic!!
More to come!
My favorite band and songwriter.
Roxy Music All The Time, Any Time!!!
A line from the movie "Flashbacks Of A Fool" "How Fantastic Is This Song! How can you choose between Bryan Ferry and David Bowie? They're Gods!"
My late husband Rodney introduced me to Roxy Music on November 8, 1975, I was already a Bowie Fan.
It was the first time I heard "If There Is Something"
My eyes teared up with this scene, as we used to do a similar act to the song "If There Is Something" ❤
There are so many Roxy Music songs to suggest. You've got a taste of their sound. Try "Oh Yeah" another song from "Flesh and Blood"
One of my all time favorite songs! Love everthing about this, especially the incredible drums/percussion rhythm!
Same here. This song is a chapter in my life
Love that sax . It just screams emotion. ❤
I grew up in the 70s with Roxy Music. I am from Wales UK. They were my group. I was a member of their fan club. They were progressive rock and influenced many bands of today. Their debut album, with which this song is featured, is still considered one of the best debut albums. Their first two albums featured Brian Eno. As far as I am concerned there are two Roxy Music. The early and the later more romantic stuff. I am a fan of their earlier music, but all is good. Avalon is considered a masterpiece. Have a listen to in Every Dream home a Heartache. They were ahead of their time. By the way, they are better than Bowie. Controversial
Agree. There were two Roxys. The first 2 albums were their best, the next three were good, but after Siren Ferry's ego took over and Roxy were just his backing band. They became MOR, and Ferry a matinee crooner. So sad.
Being an old git, dancing in the local disco to A Hard rain’s gonna fall, Virginia Plain, 2HB and not forgetting love is the drug.
I had Roxy Music-Roxy Music on vinyl in the early 70’s Phil Manzanera , Andy Mackay and Brian Eno. Loved it and bored several girlfriends with it. “Just listen to this again and again”?
A masterpiece. Period
I was at the first London gigs at the Rainbow Finsbury Park and they were definitely glamrock pioneers with the same fan base as Bowie
His vibrato was used to camp effect.
There was always a wink in their style.
Come back to this so often...love it...made me appreciate the song & Band so much more...Cheers guys!
If there is something , my favourite Roxy song when performed live. It was it is and always will be a great record. A great great British band fronted by the coolest man on the planet.
Shake your hair girl, with your ponytailTakes me right backWhen you were youngThrow your precious gifts into the airWatch them fall downWhen you were youngLift up your feet and put them on the groundYou used to walk uponWhen you were youngLift up your feet and put them on the groundThe hills were higherWhen you were youngLift up your feet and put them on the groundThe trees were tallerWhen you were youngLift up your feet and put them on the groundThe grass was greenerWhen you were youngLift up your feet and put them on the groundYou used to walk uponWhen you were young
Thanks, Stephen. The way Ferry literally screams those first 7 words . . . ahh . . . still makes the arm hair (what very little of it I have) stand up on end. So brilliant this band was.
Wow! I had the same kind of experience with that movie! I already had a collection of Roxy Music on cd, but it was a collection of songs of all their late 1970s and 1980s hits. But when I saw that scene of that movie, I was just blown away! And I was already into David Bowie's early music, and they were a great follow up when it comes to music. Later on I bought their first few albums.
I love this song. Starts off in Nashville, travels to a Persian market, thence to an English country cottage & finally to the country of his lost youth, where they do things differently, with a voice full of yearning & loss. It's playful (always puts a smile on my face) but the parody becomes real by the end & is really quite moving.
The whole first album is full of odd, interesting stuff (Sea Breezes begins & ends like one of Vaughan Williams' Blake song cycle). Stranded is superb; in fact all their albums are, but they got more polished & less experimental as they progressed.
Quite moving indeed. Love Sea Breezes, too! Many thanks for your post.
Really enjoyed this. You folks need to do Love Me Madly Again by Bryan Ferry, also a huge transition! Would love to hear your commentary!
Your comments about watching the scene from the movie “Flashbacks of a fool “ are perfect. I did the same exact thing and discovered Roxy Music after watching Daniel Craig and his girlfriend in that scene.
She actually says “how could you choose between David Bowie and Roxey Music”
Close! ;)
At some point you two should give a listen to the live version of this off Viiva! The Live Roxy Music Album.
Absolutely. That's the version everyone needs to hear and react with there.
Virginia Plain, their first (non album) single is my favourite single of all time. Pyjamarama their second single (also non album) is almost as good. These singles really stood out amongst those by all the Glam bands of the time.
I have my own personal list of 10 records that i wished i could go back and listen again for the first time. 3 of them are Roxy Music tracks. I never tire of listening to this track, it just still hits hard for some reason i can't explain. My other 2 Roxy tracks, Ladytron and Mother of Pearl.
I think Mother of Pearl may be my new favorite of theirs, since reacting to that song last year. Just love the whole damn thing. Genius stuff. - Greg
@@intothemusic908 Totally agree Greg. It really is genius. And Bryans 'warbling' voice in this track, well what can i say. Just brilliant.
I was 16 when the first Roxy Album came out. Most, most people just
didn't get it. I only knew about one other person who was into it. For me it was a revelation of avant-garde rock. It was difficult for them on their first USA tour I think. It didn't fit with the music scene there at the time at all. It was so great they had the confidence to do what they were doing, despite everything. Plus the help of one or two enthusiastic music journalists too.
Two particular favourites for different reasons 'Just Like You' and 'Song For Europe'
Listen to:
In Every Dreamhome a Heartache
Amazona
Mother of Pearl
Casanova
Prairie Rose
Sentimental Fool
Just Another High
There's a hint to Ferry's vocal inspiration in the title of his first solo release.
Lots of extreme vibrato in Ferry's voice on this First album ... then he had to have his tonsils out. Subsequent albums had a different vocal sound, post-op ;-)
Ferry is always in the pocket
Ferry Eno Roxy
Such a great transition! Transitions, I should have said. Roxy were lumped into Glam, I love Siren as a whole album the best but the first 5 are fantastic.I agree fully w other comments on Mother of Pearl, just stunning.
What I like about this reaction, is that you can plainly see what he thinks of the track in his expressions.
Non verbal communication. And I share the same reactions.
The first part is not to my taste, i won’t say shit, as it may have been put out there as a possible singles track at 3:40 for a 45rpm single vinyl record ?
The second part is difficult to take seriously because of the warbling vocals , though the sax, guitar, piano and drumming makes up for this.
The third part, takes me back to nostalgia. Bittersweet melancholy. Mesmerising and enchanting.
And I can see in the reviewers eyes, that it also impacts him in a similar way.
Listen to the live version on Viva, it is awesome
class bought the cassette when it came out, nice dolly bird on he front
Guitarist, Phil Manzanera. I've probably spelt that wrong
You should have done Mother Of Pearl!
Will be our next Roxy one!
@@intothemusic908 Huzzah. Also apparently Ferry came in with all the lyrics written over night and just put them down to teh amazement of the band. It takes 2 mins to get going and then turns into this amazing performance. I've always thought people don't cover Roxy as they can't. No one covers Eno or Ferry!
Shake your head girl with your ponytail
Love, love, love that line. - Greg
Yes! Where did that come from? Extraordinary!
Actually 3 bands in this song!
My favourite Bryan Ferry song. I said Bryan Ferry and not Roxy Music because my favorite version of this were the live performances after Roxy. It was a cool song to begin with and Bryan took it to another level.
Bryan Ferry has always been better than David Bowie and I love Bowie ! ROXY MUSIC WHERE NOTE PERFECT LIVE !!! Second only to DEEP PURPLE!!!
Between 3:54 to 4:07 what instrument they played ?
Jebus! It was early 70s, 1970 - 1975 in fact, and ambient it was not. Brian Eno invented that genre with Music for Airports.....
Do a reaction of AVS In Focus EP, the 1st song "Motive" 🐼
Bowie and Tin Machine covered this
If you look at video or photo references to Roxy Music, Ferry has done much work to distance himself from Brian Eno as possible. Jealousy much? Eno was an integral part of their formation and popularity.
I just subscrided, this was my first video experience of yours. Check out Brian Eno's discography!
Welcome! Cool that you connected to that scene in a similar way. - Greg
Roxy music as country music bandish. Ok i don't know that. I think i prefer the newer stuff. But it was funny to listen to it.
You have to lay down and let the whole album do its work.
they were never glam rock they were unique, way ahead
Can you gargle and sing at the same time?
The gal in question, Jerry Hall
He didn't know Jerry Hall at this time
Probably not
Long before Miss Hall
