This piece was written straight to his Ex-wife Ingrid Chavez heart. He never was the same since her departure from his life. He almost lost his life to sadness. He was in darkness, so darkness he became.
Well put 🤔💜
I like to think it is also a mixed loved letter to his fans, new and old, particularly the ones from Japan.

Be careful, it´s a trap. You hear one, maybe two and all of a sudden you are listening to DS full albuns.
Don´t like this masterpiece? That´s ok. Stop right here and please go listen to Billie Eilish or Steve Brookstein.
You do have good musical taste? Carry on...until 2.30 a.m. like myself. You´ve been warned.
David Sylvian - Do You Know Me Now?
..I Have spent a very special week reading Mick Karn's auto bio' Japan & Self Existence .. being a fan of Japan & Sylvian's solo career since orig' release of Quiet Life (LP) I was totally blown away by the combination of the self taught combo' of outsiders who grew up together as friends, and through sheer determination and self belief produced 3 of my all time favourite albums (Quiet Life, Gentlemen Take Polaroids & Tin Drum) RTC, not so much.... I was struck by Karn's humble and self deprecating humour... he (along with the rest of Japan 'The Band') was an intregal part of these great (LPs) works of art .... I also cherish the works of David Sylvian.. he of untouchable style and timeless beauty.... as much as I cherish Sylvian's outcome.. I cry for the lost soul that was Mick Karn. RIP..
Absolutely beautiful words bro .... Couldn't have said it better myself....."Son's Of Pioneers" ....Mick Karn makes that bass talk ... Respect from a Japan/Sylvian addict from Ireland 🇨🇮🤘
Beautifully said.
Just like the rest of us, brought down to our knees by the love of a woman
Very beautiful song , I feel your pain
One of the things I love about Sylvian is his attitude to music. Left the limelight and did his own thing, producing some beautiful songs over the years. Many of my favourite pop artists from the 80s haven’t produced anything note worthy since their 80s heyday. Sylvian remains a massive inspiration and this song is haunting and melancholic, as many of his songs are. Some won’t like it. Who cares. For us who do like it, then we are lucky to have artists like him around.
A beautiful philosopher setting thoughts to soundtrack...
Hello Chelle how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I’m a purist by heart and I refuse anything else. This track moves the ground beneath me
Wow a real end of the road track , he had an amazing life , always a mystery pop star . Great track
Japan were a great band. New technology enhanced the soul behind David Silvian,s songwriting. We should acknowledge his big contribution to the strange times that were the 80s. Friend for life, if I'd ever been fortunate enough to know you. Huge talent...
Sorry about the comma when I meant apostrophe...
I'm 84 you know.
@@schmoegler Don't you worry about that it's all good :)
@@schmoegler that's awesome I'm 32 it is some age range and he is my favourite artist of all time. Not bad for someone as avant garde as him.
Decent!
Awesome voice - Japan and Rain Tree Crow were fu@k*ng amazing too, if you ask me.
"because the Bee may blameless hum, for the Bee do I become, list event unto Me, Because the flowers unafraid, may lift a look on thine , a Maid always a flower would be .. so wings bestow on Me or petals, or Dower of Buzz. That Bee to ride, or Flower of Purze, I that way workship Thee"(E.Dickinson poem 869)
In my view, one of the most underrated singer-songwriter-arrangers of his time.
Perhaps , one day…
Such a huge fan since around 1980...This is so beautifully simple and straightforward for Mr. Sylvian and in some ways all the better for it.
So, after 41 years I’m still enthralled and always interested in what he does.....
Ditto! 👍
He sounds fragile. And it’s beautiful x
David still has a certain poignant charm...
so nice, such a beautiful voice. And for so long.
David just gets better and better
beautiful sadness your voice become more darker and sounds so sad anyway is fool of charm i like the new sound of your music so long beautiful englishman
I know that’s what people say- "You’ll get over it" - But I know it’s not true.
"Oh, you´ll be happy again, never fear"- But you won’t forget. Every time you fall in love it will be because something in the woman reminds you of her.
Well, marrying a flighty member of Prince's entourage could never be considered a good idea.
sigh, beautiful......
Sublime memories. Only one David Sylvian.
Another silver bullet against todays silly music 💯
Great ‘matching’ video
My goodness David, glad your still making songs.
This man is the most underrated songer songwriter there is. Everything he touches turns to gold, sorry for the cliché but it's true
Totally ´simple words’ maybe but absolutely agree !
@@Popiastral if touch US the way it do, i applause this master.
Darker than usual. Beautiful none the less.
Hardly darker than Blemish.
"During the lifetime of Japan I became very neurotic, very paranoid. If i grow a beard, the press wants to know why.If i shave it off they want to know why." - David Sylvian
Beautiful, best song i heard for such a long time👍👍👍
So sad, so catarthic, so yearning for a new life...
The North is to South what clock is to time. Sylvian rolls his God- given gift.
💖
Sylvian is as close as I get to religion, a voice beyond compare...
Amen.
Pope Francis approved 💯
@@handrinstone1096 Francis is pushing the vax agenda he is a lunatic
Beautifully put!
His voice is just as stunning, if not better....just beautiful 💜
Its as if David is going for his own take on the blues within this song...
He's always written lyrics that were deep & lf we are being honest & to be fair not exactly one's you could dance to but still an undeniable artist in his own right...
Are we going to have to weight until he passes away before he & we the fans get the recognition he & everyone he worked with deserves...
There were always connections made to him trying to sound like a mixture of David Bowie meets Brian Ferry, what a load of crock, as he had & used his own vocal style & range & predominantly (again) wasn't about getting you on the dance floor but instead making you think of what is happening within the lyrics of the song as they are telling a story...
I've been a fan of his work since " Japan " along with all the separate members that collectively made up the core group of Japan which includes Rob Dean as his contribution must never be forgotten within the realms of that band...
But please dont go on about how he treated them within that band & later on with them teaming up again for " Rain Tree Crow "
As that was there business & they were grown adults & could've easily told David to shove it anytime they wanted, again thats their story not ours, & i know only too well how hard it is to work within a band with your own flesh & blood, being my older brother, & you just get on with it & take it each session at a time...
Am i the only one who felt at times that i wanted to slap David in the face & tell him to stop writing & singing these sorts of songs & write & sing something positive/joyful/upbeat that we could dance to but thats David he stuck to his strengths & its his style & he is not going to change & neither will i as a huge fan of his & even though at times i wish he'd give it a rest with the Joan Of Arc Complex & just ease up on himself but hey that's life & he chose to go his own way & still built up a back catalogue of amazing song's & albums...
RIP Mick Karn... As Your Flame Still Burns Brightly
RIP David Bowie.... You fought to the end & delivered one of your best album's in year's with " Blackstar "
" Both Sadly Gone, But Not Forgotten "
.....
TH-cam Is An Influencer - This comment, is perfect, whatever 'perfect' is and sums up my thoughts, completely.
Always connects me to myself; my younger self, before life and responsibilities swamped me. Thank you David for taking me right back to myself.
Consistently brilliant. Every David Sylvian you are.
Even on the darknest night when empty promisses means empty hand. 💚💙💛
Why are you quoting a Duran Duran song?
@@marshas.9218 Lol
Well, funny. I guess this song as similar song structure as Duran Duran Secret Oktober. Then changes
@@theWARMJET one of DD´s finest hidden pearls, if i may say so...
@@salvatoredecanti6209 it is to me too, and I know its Simons fave Duran song aswel
Been listening to Japan since the late 70's early 80's and David's solo work shortly after. I have always been amazed by the way David's voice can make time stop and provoke some deep thoughts and introspective feelings. This should have been the final song of Season 6 of Peaky Blinders. I'm completely blown away !!
Once in a while David Sylvian pulls off some serious masterpieces.What a complex soul he must be.
Such a relief and a joy to hear David return to what he does best… Thank you for sharing.
Simple acoustic guitar and words. Nothing more. Pure genius.
There are also plenty of synthesiser washes of sound. There are also some string parts too. Bell chimes too.
Imagine if he made a few albums like this.
Genius...
He put a torch to his home and warmed his hands by the fire.
effete self-mythologizing twit, but i liked sylvian/fripp, so i cant totally discount him
Always sad, always cool as f@ck. Is this dude a musical icon or what? He had a Vision of China 40 years ago.
His voice has seen some things.
He has a wonderful voice but he can’t see with it
omg!...all this time later and David is slowly turning into (latter day) Bill Fay..
Beautiful and haunting with artistic images to accompany. I saw Japan live twice, they could never reform without Mick.
Hello Victoria how are you doing hope you having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
From his voice it Sounds like the The ghosts of his life are still
Blowing wilder than the wind.
At first - the timbral change in his voice threw me! It didn't take very long for it to grow on me, though.
Forbidden Colours !
That's how a love song is done right here.
Surprisingly good
David always put the finger on our wounds, your music is gonna live with us forever, thanks master
Although still a beauty of a man at 64, David is only human, i think. His health problems are becoming real issues. May all the divinities he talks about in his songs watch over him.
what happened ? Lungs ?
i'm choked, sorry...
Smoking kills.
beautiful!......follow Japan members since my teens...Great composers and musicians....
Absolute masterpiece!
That's cool
May your health improve very quickly, and may you recover completely from your physical problems. I miss your music, David. Even the ones I don't like.
Hi, I'm not really aware of what has happened to Sylvian in the last few years, I'm only aware that he has retired and a few other things, could you tell me what problems he has?
@@brokarisbelmico Alleged back problems.
JESUS IS KING.
What has that got to do with this song? I agree but you're nuts by the look of it?
He was one of the greatest between 1985-99; created some timeless music during that period. And that's how this piece should be taken.
He has been, one of the greatest, since '78. But that's only my opinion. Nice comment though.
I don't listen to a lot of music any more.Music is a moral law and i can´t break that law anymore making pop .I had my share. - David Sylvian
That's laughable! He started off as a poor man's Bryan Ferry! This is pure Marc Bolan!😂
He's miffed because his record label tanked. His brother Steven Jansen said it went it "freefall".
Sylvian's melancholia oozes into that cavity of mine that holds the long-forgotten memories of longing, hurt, hate, emptimess, rejection, love, beauty ..and loss.
A woman can really screw you up.
Feel for you David..
i guess that's the meaning of it. I felt it straight away. If i had written a song, this would have been the one. INstead i sang Albatros from Pink Floyd.
What amazing timbre? Oh, I hold out hope for another vocal album. Released in Blu-ray audio. Please! Am I asking for too much? Steve Wilson can do it and who's heard of him?
I worked with Mark Eitzel. Reminds me...
(I wonder if an algorithm did that?....)
He used to sound like Bryan Ferry in his Japan days.Didnt recognise thst voice.Loved Japan mind.
This is his Ferry voice but now he has made it his own. If you recall, the original incarnation of Japan had a much higher projected voice.
Beautiful song, David never loses his touch
Very beautiful,even my girlfriend likes it,and she hates his solo stuff. She didn't realise it was Sylvian cos his voice has a higher timbre on this
Hates a strong word . It’s like saying I hate wine ...... which wine .
Thank you David. Thank you J B.
Speechless.
Pure Perfection. Pure Sylvian. The art flows from the Masters brush
This.
poetry to music, it is what it is to the listener
Kurt Cobain's favourite singer. A note book, a couple guitars, a bottle of whiskey and late night inspiration does produce marvels like this one.
Didn’t know Kurt liked him.
@@pharllslim4544 I don't think Kurt ever mentioned him in a single interview!!!
@SteveO ok. I’m still waking up.
mine too

Beautiful music David, still touching people deeply...
This is a good song about the old school days-s&ccl❤️💙💜💛💚🧡🖤🖤🖤⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜💜🖤❤️❤️❤️⚜️
Awesomely Brilliant
A Diamond in the Mind.
One of Verve's Ashcroft idols. David Sylvian have a silent, secret legion of admires.
Beautiful song! a bit in the same mood as Mark Lanegan....
I thought it.
David is not just a singer. David is art, a concept, a way of listening to life, it is everything you want or maybe even everything you hate in music. David is not unique and that's why i don't consider him a genius. But David is above all, special.
Absolutely enjoy David Sylvian's music, his style is instantly recognizable and beautiful. This is no exception, striking all the right notes.
This song stands on its own merits, forget Japan. Great song
Pure ART
David picked up a copy of melody maker naming him “ the most beautiful man” it was a mercurial hard decision to explain to the amazing musicians, Mick , Steve his brother, he just didn’t want the life & Japan disbanded at their beginning of their rise. It’s a real pity, oil on canvas was a masterpiece, so underrated . But David just didn’t want it I guess. The suffering artist as opposed to EMIs next sensation . Personally I would have got my royalties up until 87 then jumped ship. But hey, I’m not the one who had to live up to the hype. I respect David for that, & if he’s reading this which is unlikely , David Assemblage was very good musically . Thankyou
Excellent! I wish I could convey what you wrote. DS is an artist plain and simple.
Very good. Haunting; but a pleasant kind.
So devastatingly gorgeous
Hello Lilavati how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
☆☆☆☆☆ What to say. BRILLIANT
Once designated the most beautiful man in pop.
/ Circa 1983... that was a long time ago
@@Andrew_M_Ward You calling me old?
@@rackpunch4026 / he was angelic in his youth... I'm old enough to have seen illustrated man live with Rob Dean (Japan) Hugo Burnham (Gang of 4) Roger Mason (everybody)
@@Andrew_M_Ward The doubt in my mind comes and goes but leads nowhere......
@@rackpunch4026 / sounds like a serious condition - good luck
Greatness and spirituality combined.
This is Great!
Fantastic
bé,dopo tutto quello che ha fatto ,ricordarlo ai tempi dei Japan ,40 anni fa ,mi sembra un pó restrittivo
Hai ragione, ma i Japan e Mick Karn è sempre bello ricordarli e riascoltarli.
Always beautiful, beautiful stuff from this guy.
Song as a Pearl.A +++
True artist....
Beautiful.
One of a Kind.
Artist of Highest Integrity.
Just love his Voice.
Loved his Work with Robert Fripp .
David is a Vocalist like Bryan Ferry.
So Sophisticated.
Love this song.
Perfect voice and great legendary artist
So humble and sophisticad
He remember me his duo with Sakamoto Rip
Come back for one last tour David! Yes, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. The soul is eternal and changes bodies, like the body changes clothes. We can see changing bodies in our own lifetime. We were all babies, young children, adults and then the body grows old and disappears. The molecules are only on the physical level. The spirit in all things is the real eternity.
Epic love song without the need for the usual common places like "baby girl"_"Oh, baby baby" _"honey i love you"_And other BS. ❤
This artist is SO UNDERRATED. Perfect!
This is Artist?!!! This is the one and only David Sylvian. One of the greats!
When I read shit like these on here, I wonder why any singer bothers to produce anything.
How about they ask you what notes, and what lyrics you want to hear, then maybe you might just find yourselves in the unusual situation, of you actually being happy for once.
I read nothing but glowing praises of DS in the comments here 🤷♂️
His voice on this song is like his 70’s voice mixed with the voice he uses now
Beautifully haunting
