A Japan classic. Nightporter is a beautiful and atmospheric song from a seriously underrated band.
I borrowed this album off off a girl I knew in 1980 to record . This year in July we are celebrating our 40 th wedding anniversary. Not bad hey
Japan had made so many artistic, desperate and romantic sad songs. I love this band very much. From Hong Kong.
This was the band of my teens. And no band has ever gotten close to them. Rest in peace Mick, you are SO missed 🌹
Me too
Nightporter ALWAYS stops me in my tracks and sucks me in. The creepy waltz gets me every time.
The woodwinds (bassoon, oboe and bass clarinet) were done by their extraordinary bass player, Mick Karn. I recommend Sons of Pioneers next.
Wow, talented guy, I will hit more Japan soon.
@@MusicWithToddLedbetter nice one Todd, check out their Life In Tokyo too when you’re up for it ..
Yeh. I had read that he joined the National Youth Orchestra (UK) playing the bassoon but had to leave eventually as he had memorised the parts and couldn’t music. Amazing musician! I would like to know more.
@@c.w_ Mick published his autobiography a few years before he passed. Great read!
Mick couldn't read a note of music either. But had a lot of music training ( classical ) that he bluffed his way through
Listen to “Mr. Christmas, Mr. Lawrence” with David Silvian (Japan Lead Singer) singing! ❤️❤️❤️
I will check it out! Thanks Jeff.
You mean Forbidden Colours? , top tune..
@@pashvonderc381 ah yes! That was the name of the movie not the song.
Saw Japan and David Sylvian gig a few times in the 80s , brilliant.
Japan were an outstanding band David Sylvian being the stand out member but the rest of the band went on to have great solo careers as well. They evolved over the years check out their first single don’t rain on my parade just to see how they grew as a band from beginning to the end.
Great reaction. I can tell that Todd was genuinely intrigued and was soaked into what he was hearing. Bravo X
My cousin introduced me to them in the early eighties and they're very talented. David Sylvian Orphyous is also a timeless classic.
Have listened to this song 🎵 way back when, Iconic in so many ways, mick karn and David playing with heart and soul, this song 🎵 will remain forever..
I guess the question to ask is, of Japan’s contemporaries, such as Duran Duran, Spandau, the Human League, Ultravox etc could any of them have written this song? Something so deep, so neoclassical, with its occasional middle eastern scales, with an oboe, a bass clarinet and a bassoon, combined with Sylvian and Barbierie’s exquisite piano and synth parts and David Sylvians haunting yet melancholy vocal. The answer is no. One of the most underrated compositions of the 1980’s. To think that just 2 years previously they were singing about Adolscent sex with juvenile intentions to then sing ‘the width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside’ is quite remarkable. Great reaction and thank you
There is no bass clarinet or bassoon in the studio recording of Nightporter. Besides piano and synths, there is just an oboe (played by Andrew Cauthery) and an upright bass (played by Barry Guy).
Very reminiscent of the Trois Gymnopédies by Eric Satie
Yes absolutely..I love Satie and Japan/Sylvian. 👌
Congratulations!...you have just listened to perfecction.
Check out the Quiet life album too. I love Despair and Alien.
Listen to the song, 'Swing' by Japan. You won't be disappointed.😏😎✌️
NP,
Has always been,
One of my
All time
Favs.
Soooo atmospheric and classical !!!
What a Gem !!!
Love this tune! Thanks for doing it! 👏👏👏
My pleasure!!
Beautiful song, one of the most haunting melodies of all time. He based this song on the movie ‘Nightporter’ starring Dirk Bogarde, which centres on an ex nazi concentration camp officer who, amongst other things uses a young Jewish woman as his personal sex slave. They meet by chance years later where he is working as a nightporter in a hotel. It’s quite a difficult watch but the song takes on a different feel after watching the movie.
Please , please listen to the live version of this track on the album Oil on Canvas . You won’t regret it . Superior to this version .
This song.. Beautiful esoteric diamond in music sky.. Solo carier.. David sylvian.. Mesmerising haunting evokative love mistery.. After bach.. David sylvian.. Like.. Antonio vivaldi.. L estro armonico.. Most beautiful voice in solar system.. Croatia
wow. that´s a great choice! great band, sadly very rarely seen on YT. thank you. as you say, their singer is amazing. I also can recommend a colab of their singer david sylvian with ryuichi sakamoto "forbiden colours". iconic song.
you should check out the song taking islands in africa off the same album-equally as good as this track
The keyboard player of Japan is a member of Porcupine Tree.
Yes, that's it. Thanks
Thanks Todd, for appreciating under-appreciated music X
great song , i like the live version better sounds fantastic for a live version love David sylvian
Try The Othr Side Of Life and Rhodesia awesome tracks. Nightporter is a wonderful track with so many layers
The other side of life is the best Japan track bar none! Absolute perfection!
The other side of life and Halloween are my favourites 🖤
Super amazing band, no 1 comes close 2 there sound, another level of musicians
This is such beautiful song. Japan should have been so much more successful than hey were 😎
i agree,they were brilliant- i think they made a big mistake when they released their godawful cover of the smokey robinson record i second that emotion
First time I heard this, I thiught of Erik Satie. Totally borrowed from his music. Great band. Sylvian always challenges the listener.
You should check David Sylvian solo albums, amazing. Japan, they were always excellent and different from the rest.
Please react to Ghosts by Japan.
Oboe played by Mick. It just added a sweet sadness to the song
Why do I hear Mecano's / Montserrat Caballe's "Hijo De La Luna" in this ?
Oh NOW you like Japan 😂🤣😂 (jk)
I look for any reason to like bands/music. If you like them and suggest them, then I'm going to delve into them to see why. This song was great!
Try "Hey Little Girl" or "Street Café" by Icehouse. You may like them.
He (Slyvian) did a great album with Robert Fripp: "The first day". Rocks a lttle harder
Yes! I love Jean the birdman.
Check a Album that's a mix,rather than best of , Ultravox,pre Midge Ure,,John Foxx vocals , what a band , but check out "The Man Who dies everyday ,,,, ROK Rock,Hiroshima mom amour ,, the album, Ha Ha Ha ,,,I'll link u,
Link for HA HA HA
