As a Roxy Music fan I sit here and think of my wife I lost five years ago , to a brain tumour, I will have this song played at my funeral, It is as bitter sweet as any of Shakespeares sonnets, to me.
@David Spooner; May God be with you in your sorrow David. He has a reason for everything though oftentimes we don't know it is. 1. "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. 2. A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. 3. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4. A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. 5. A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. 6. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7. A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. 8. A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace. 9. What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils? 10. I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves. 11. He has made everything *[Lit beautiful] appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end." (Ecclesiastes 3.1-11.).
That`s powerfull. I can understand your heartache although it is 12 years now. I lost my love 8 years ago and some songs have her sitting right here beside me. Thank God for the great music. Try some Van The Man, He works too. Cheers to the music.
David Spooner... I feel for youre loss... unfortunately every one on here has lost someone near and dear, including me. God grant. you peace and grace to empwer you to your next adventure.
This track to me is Roxy's masterpiece. It feels that Ferry wrote this years ago and waited for the right time to include it finally on the 3rd album. It is a beautifully written ballad that has a pure continental feel about it and interjected with french vocals. Clearly to me this sits at the top table of all the work they've done.
Saw Roxy on this 2001 reunion tour dont think they ever sounded better, manzanera, mackay, thompson and ferry , the years rolled back, absolutely brilliant, ive said this before one of Britains best groups ever, so talented musicians , under rated
David M I was just going to say the exact same thing! I'm American and I relate more to this song than some so-called American patriotic songs. I've cried to this song. I always put it on rotation with my portable player when I go to Europe. I always play this song when flying into Paris. What a feeling! Beautiful moments. Beautiful.
.....true Art is generally a very elusive thing, until it breaks off it's chains and lands in our laps " Like a Hurricaine " and shocks and surprises all of us willing to listen. Brian Ferry always has that potenciall to do this....and here he does it Again. !
If I had to pick just one song to take with me - this would probably be it . Must have listened to it a thousand times over the years , yet my eyes are still never quite dry at the end !
This song is so beautiful and moves me immensely. It reminds me so starkly of the time i was in Paris with my wife. Unfortunately she passed away 7 years ago from a brain tumor. The song stirs up a lot of feelings in me.
To those who have commented on losing a loved one linked to this piece of music which painted an important verse, chapter, and book in their life, my heartfelt feelings and condolences to each and everyone of you. If I was to lose someone so dear to me (my mum and did) and could pick a piece of music to remember her by, this would be it. Reason - My mum loved Bryan Ferry.
One of my lifelong Roxy favorite songs - Been a fan since the early 70's and seeing them again was fantastic! Have followed Bryan throughout the years and attended all his tours. LOVE THEM ALL. Signed, Virginia Plain
What if this was not a song about love, but about culture? About a hope about "freedom, equality, brotherhood", the idea of the french revolution? Goodbye Europe. 2 minutes to Midnight. Another oldie. Final Countdown. Still another. Waking up was yesterday. 💋
Bryan Ferry's style of singing a romantic song is simply breathtaking. A God-given talent and a masterpiece composition of music teamed with beautiful, romantic lyrics. He seems as timeless in this video as he was in 1973 when I purchased his first album. All I can say is that as an "old-40's type crooner" the Ladies must've loved him!

Absolute excellence , been listening to Bryan & Roxy Music since the 70's and this gave me shivers :) how can such a sad song give so much pleasure ? Pure class.....
Went to see Roxy Music at Wembley in 2001 Brilliant concert just wished I had got to see my hero’s this year for the 50th been a fan for 43 Aldo went to see them in 2011 for the FYP tour in the 02
One of Roxy's many masterpieces ! I can't remember what they were now but for about 20 years b4 I discovered the lyrics on tinterweb I used to sing some really bizarre words to this song !
Beautiful song coming from a Beautiful Man, no one will ever reach His degree of performance. Loved him in the 70's and love Him still in 2021. Have His fist album and have His last from 2020 and all in between!
Thank you Bryan, we made love to this track and the result was a fantastic daughter, I named her J`aime. This is FACT ! I can never think of anything else but her when I hear this wonderful song! I love you J`aime.
As a Roxy Music fan I sit here and think of my wife I lost five years ago , to a brain tumour, I will have this song played at my funeral, It is as bitter sweet as any of Shakespeares sonnets, to me.
sorry about your wife. the song is a masterpiece, so sad and so beautiful, much like life itself.

Mr Ferry agrees .
Восхищаюсь❤
And latin
A masterpiece. As someone else said I can listen to over and over again. Has brought me to tears.
So emotional and heart stopping..sends a shiver down my spine I'd say quiet simply...a masterpiece...
Yes beautiful both in English and when he switches to French equally
Obsessing about this song...playing it over and over again! So beautiful! Jamais! jamais!

Probably the greatest Roxy composition ever. A timeless classic
MR Ferry agrees . So do I .
"There's no more time for us,nothing is there for us to share, but yesterday" Absolutely brilliant!!!!
This is the one of greatest pieces of music ever. I have listened to it a thousand times, and always, always find it a thing of beauty!
Soooooo true:)
I cry

My favorite Roxy song of all time. For some reason I tear up when I hear it.
How very appropriate this song is for Europe.2.5.20😢
Even more 2024..
An ageless classic written by Andy and Bryan. I never grow tired of hearing it.
Andy , Phew what a player .
Most underrated performer in the history of rock !!
Brian Ferry underrated?
Hahaha
@@davidgarione2206 this song, not BF…
I don't think so. The first 4 albums are sensational.
What a ridiculous statement. Underrated is a term favored by small minds when they get excited
Underrated ? !!! By who exactly ? Only by people who have never heard of him !!!
They were so happy to see Andy improvise on the saxophone - a beautiful solo that set the whole song.
One of the best songs ever, and I love this version. Goosebumps. Brilliant.
in 2023 a topical sound Brian was ahead of his time🙏
Das haben Sie so was von Recht .
Alles Liebe für uns alle ❤️ 💞...
Where is this so polite audience ? Germany ? A great masterpiece…. Of the worlds music 😍
If I had to pick just one song to take with me - this would probably be it . Must have listened to it a thousand times over the years , yet my eyes are still never quite dry at the end !
This can only be described as a masterpiece. Lost for words, lost in emotion.... love you and your music Bryan ♡
DesertRainz so beautifully crafted.
🎉Das schönste Lied von "Roxy Musik"was ich je gehört habe!Von EVAI AUS DORTMUND
They don't make songs like this anymore. Absolutely stunning.....
Viva Regatta de La Blanc. Europe the way it was. HELL America the way it was. before the jew vampires in DC struck the final nail in the coffin!
This has to be the most beautiful love song ever written the one song that I could listen to for eternity Viva Roxy Music
Such a wonderful song. But when Andy plays that saxophone... blown away.
The sax he plays on My Only Love. Blown further away…
This guy is up there with the best and this song is a masterpiece
I am so thankful that I got to see them perform this in 1977.
A sad and beautiful masterpiece, much like life itself.
So Beautiful. The composition is brillant - I think the best song ever from this band.
Beautiful song.while Europe is crying 🌹
Probably one of the beautiful songs on the planet ❤
Most
This song is so beautiful and moves me immensely. It reminds me so starkly of the time i was in Paris with my wife. Unfortunately she passed away 7 years ago from a brain tumor. The song stirs up a lot of feelings in me.
All credit to Andy McKay for penning this master piece for his friend. What a performance this is to an enchanted audience. Viva Roxy Music.
Totally agree. So sentimental,so hauntingly nostalgic. A wonderful escape. 🥰
Love this had the pleasure of seeing roxy music at the Edinburgh playhouse 1982
Me too brilliant

The dramatic conclusion is effing Brilliant -

Yes, here as well
Europe oh how much I love you
Спасибо, огромное спасибо из Сибири. Это просто шедевр... Спасибо что вы есть...
What an astoundingly brilliant performance this is... it perhaps even tops the studio version. Erudite, moving, melancholic and stunningly beautiful.
Brilliant song!!! I´m in tears too..
and he is one *gorgeous* man when he sings. Fucking awesome.
Absolute timeless classic from Roxy. Love it👍🏻
What if this was not a song about love, but about culture?
About a hope about "freedom, equality, brotherhood", the idea of the french revolution? Goodbye Europe.
2 minutes to Midnight. Another oldie.
Final Countdown. Still another.
Waking up was yesterday. 💋
Andy MacKay's Solo is indeed mind blowing... so is his jacket!!!
Goodbye Europe, Goodbye America...Bryan foretold our fate nearly 50 years ago...
Most of the commenters here are interpreting this in a very different way.
Martin Brady - Ditto.
DAVID BOWIE said LISTEN TO THIS BAND !!!!!!!!!!!!😮😨✌g
Colin Good's Piano introduction to this song is so memorable it really is amazing. I have this on cd and just play this piano part time and time again

One of Roxy's many masterpieces ! I can't remember what they were now but for about 20 years b4 I discovered the lyrics on tinterweb I used to sing some really bizarre words to this song !
The first vocal line always reminds me of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
