    My NYC brother, former studio 54 patron, used to ring me up on a bad day and we would listen to this song together. Only, not since that day of tragedy. That day. RIP my brother.

    Jon Anderson is one of the greatest melody creators in history. What a blessing he collaborated with Vangelis to write this amazing song, and what a joy to hear Donna Summer cover it.

      @innosanto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      But Vangelis wrote the melody. Although in this song maybe they would both did a mix of their melody contribution, also according to a Jon interview. But most would probably be Vangelis so music credits are Vangelis and lyrics credits to Anderson.

      @cal_nevari 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@innosanto well they are both necessary to make this song as great as it is, and they complement each other beautifully in my opinion.
      I don't know why I am reminded of this, but a very long time ago (like in the 1970s) I saw Martin Mull performing live and one of the things he said was "People often come up to me and say, "Marty, when you write a song, what do you write first the words or the lyrics? And I say, "Yes!"
      I think there was more to it, but that's the part I remember.

      Think its called the resilience of a soul that has been broken many many times
      "The No1 Disco Dancing Diva" certainly got many many
      "War Wounds"
      However this icon and true unsung hero of lifes trials and tribulations carries her wounds and medals on her sometimes broken body but always scarred with pride
      Ultimately graced and humbled for her lessons of life
      She will live on within our vesiles as we the followers must never forget and always rejoice and unify🙌🤝
      in peace and harmony as evolution dictates
      (Biological and Innate Mechanisms)
      and NOT
      "The Toxic Orthodox and Propaganda"
      (Brain Washing)
      path that is encouraged by this "Mad Sad And Modern Society"
      Hallelujah Hallelujah
      "Lest We Not Forget The Unsung Heros Of Life"
      There are so many subliminal messages with certain artists and masters of their craft's and hold so many keys to open many many doors in our path and ultimately lifes decisions on how we open these doors
      Peace Love and Unity My fellow Old Skoolers from the Heart 💚
      WE THE TRUE FOLLOWERS ARE ALL TRADITIONAL IN ORIENTATION
