Roxy Music - Over You (1980)

Roxy Music were an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry, who became the band's lead vocalist and chief songwriter, and bassist Graham Simpson. Alongside Ferry, the other longtime members were Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion), and other former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin), and John Gustafson (bass). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1976 and again in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and toured together intermittently between that time and their break-up in 2011. Ferry frequently enlisted members of Roxy Music as session musicians for his solo releases.

I'm 50 and I have loved all things ferry since early 80s. I was the only kid I knew who loved them

[@mrmedallis]

I’m 54. Same.

[@davidmcclatchey6848]

Absolutely the best era of music.. the memories of the nightclubs/discos with songs like this blasting.. pure magic..

[@myoldblack]

You bet!

[@eddie-nk4jk]

great era tho 1960's music was better

[@bashuppark]

What a song. Can't believe it only reached number 45 here in Oz.

[@somewherelse101]

Love that bassline!

[@luciacarrillofernandez3684]

It's the great bassist Gary Tibbs

[@jamesbutler8852]

And the saxophone...

[@crusadeagainstgreedyentert4865]

Gary Tibbs went from bass player here to rescuing Adam Ant from a hanging in Stand And Deliver.😅

[@ColleyatFlak]

Love this song. The girls on the cover and this song. RIP Aimee Stephenson.

[@thomasaquinas6628]

2:16 and 2:32- just about makes me cry every time i hear it.

[@jamesbutler8852]

The final saxaphone melody is timeless...

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

perfect

[@intergalactic1529]

Thomas, my sentiments exactly. Flashbacks to lost youth - ahhh the 80’s.

[@frankcr2015]

I have loved it since it came out and listen to it most every day!

[@joejohnson6763]

Had forgotten what a top tune this was. Hadn't heard it for years.

[@marypoppins123]

Every now and then when I hear Roxy Music or Bryan Ferry I wonder how many children are/were created because their parents were in the mood to his music. LOL

[@hungryherbie]

still sounds brilliant in 2025 ...760👍

[@dalekelly6896]

Favorite Roxy Music song

[@BonDobbz]

🎉🎉loved this quintessential roxy music song from the 1980s🎉🎉

[@Ignatius1972]

Phil Manzanera super fashion, handsome and hot here (and in all Roxy Music vids)

[@bluejay5931]

Everything about bryan is pure style. I love his exalted way to perform. Always a bit artificial. But absolutely stunning at the same time

[@williamfisher5749]

Wonderful

[@maxbowie6074]

just sublime

[@Ojb_1959]

Manzanera 🤩

[@frankcr2015]

The coolest uncool guy ever!

[@jimkerr1873]

Gives me chills.

[@christopherlindsey583]

About The One That Got Away. The One You’ll Never Forget. Beautifully Done. More Than This Also.

[@bazbo100]

[@paulsowney771]

Omg. My record so love it

[@helenesteinberg7189]

Thanks for the post! Super cool! So not over roxy!

[@jimthecaptainsmate3542]

Way ahead of its time.

[@Halenbud]

Oh, baby, this is nowhere
Wish I was somewhere, over you
Your sweet lips tell me there's no chance
No more romance, over you
Oh, baby, how can I go on?
Crying so long, over you
Where strangers look for new love
I'm so lost in love, over you
Someday, yes, it might come, babe
When I'll be, babe, over you
And always up to that moment
I will try to say, I'm over you

[@kevinmurphy8857]

Brilliant

[@williamfisher5749]

Loverly

[@mauricerevelle8451]

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

I can't believe Andy Mackay has signed my vinyl of The Atlantic Years.

[@jonfury7154]

Didn't realise Paul Merton was the drummer!

[@judymasinelli9855]

[@raymondbonington9355]

[@michaelmoran1964]

Don't know what's going on here,he's not in the credits on flesh and blood album, but there on RUclips videos at the time playing live.👍👍

[@martinwilkinson2344]

​@@michaelmoran1964Also on the TOTP appearance.

[@billysequins]

​@@michaelmoran1964he did not play on the album but was brought back for promotions

[@peterjenkins7488]

Why is it when your young you had lots of sax but now not so much sax these days

[@lolyserrano8198]

❤👌🇪🇦

[@p.rince2016]

❤🔥

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

Who's the pianist here?

[@js2749]

Paul Carrack, although it is Bryan Ferry playing on the record (if that makes any sense). Paul sings the song ‘Over My Shoulder’, if you remember.

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

perfect sense 😊

[@Pyjamarama11]

Fantastic track but compare this to the early 70's and they are liked caged animals having had all their creativity managed out of them

[@maxbowie6074]

This may be sacrilege, but I much prefer their late 70s and early 80s output

[@marguskiis7711]

Paul Thompson is in real pain miming such a primitive drum track.

[@derventio2860]

bye

[@billysequins]

He is indeed - one of Flesh and Bloods weaknesses is the lacklustre rhythm tracks which lack power and presence

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

Lip synch bums me out.
