“Let me smell the moon in your perfume.” What an amazing, artistically genius line! That one line alone represents more lyrical talent than many full careers.
@@stevenmiller7747 Have you and someone else ever wanted to meet in the middle of the night?? It’s far from silly. Get in touch with your romantic side. You won’t regret it!!
Just discovered this fellow literally all of minutes ago, and, instantly, am, like?! How in the name of Grace have I never heard of Steve before??? OmG!!! Such a timeless, haunting, voice, with words that cut as deep as a soul goes! Wow!!! Only Jeff Buckley, and so few others, have given me blessed goosebumps like this. This Forbert fellow is the real deal! Just, Wow!
Awesome to hear Steve singing this great song! I've probably played it 10,000 times on the radio over the years. Beautiful song.. and Steve's voice is still great!
This is my go-to feels song.. for so many years.. since the first time I ever heard it.. and loving it even more now !! Omg, the words are so incredibly special.. 💓
One of my favorite 70's songs ever!!!!❤ 🎵 I was born in the late 60s but I'm definitely a lover of everything Seventies. Thank you for making my heart smile
So so good. Not sure who his sidekick is, but it's worth watching and listening to his beautiful guitar work the whole way through. It dances around Steve's vocal in a melodic & unobtrusive way. When so little gives so much more... Stunning version, one of my favourites.
@@georgenaha1001 You are so welcome George, I have only just discovered this version and I absolutely love it. I have been a huge fan of Steve Forbert since Alive On Arrival came out, I am now a huge fan of you also. Together..... simpatico. Thank you, and hi from New Zealand.
This is gonna sound strange, but this song convinced me to move to Atlanta. In 80' I was living in Cleveland, but I realized that I needed a change from the nasty Northern weather. I kept hearing this awesome tune, plus when he says, " bring me Southern kisses from your room". I kept romanticizing about meeting a real Southern girl, so it has been 41 years and I haven't looked back since. Oh yeah, I sure met my share of beautiful Southern girls. Great tune...
I've followed Steve Forbert since the Little Stevie Orbit album as a college freshman in 1980. I've seen him perform in various small venues. Excellent. Puts his heart and soul into every performance. Song For Katrina is my favorite. If you ever have a chance to see him, ....do it !
I had had this song in the back of my memory, like an earworm. For years. I remembered hearing it, and I tried to find it on the internet but couldn't find it. Until now.
“We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines.” A metaphor and simile in one line. And both work together. This song is wonderful musically and a bit of very good poetry. Steve Forbert is a treasure.
Wauw, like he said yesterday: "Hey guys I wrote a new song, listen". Thank's for posting this great preformance from Steve and ??? (Let me know please) 🎶👍
“Let me smell the moon in your perfume.” What an amazing, artistically genius line! That one line alone represents more lyrical talent than many full careers.
When you really love her it's the sweetest thing imaginable.
I imagine the moon smells like cheese…..right ?
Yeah right dude lol. This is a silly little pop song.
@@stevenmiller7747 Oh hush. It's sweet and romantic.

Just, Wow!
Romeo's Tune was a Top 20 hit for him in 1979.
The whole album that this track is on is awesome stuff. Jackrabbit Slim.
Better late than never!

Dear lord that is good. He has aged in a whiskey barrel apparently.
LOL @running beard, you nailed it!
Who hasn't from those days?
WOW! I love this! He's still got it. One of the sweetest tunes ever.
He’s awesome.
A true professional. Steve has probably played this song thousands of.times yey he gives.it his all. Well done Steve.
Little Stevie has gotten older like the rest of us. Still sounds great!
Stay healthy everyone!
Steve hasn’t gotten a minute older. Still same age gap between us all as ever…and that voice is still golden
And he even looks great too!
What a performance and not to forget, what a delicate lead guitar! Well done boys.
His passion and the way he sings really put a smile on my face always. This song is my soulful song. Thanks Steve.
I’ve seen his performance numerous times from 1979. What an energy, what a presence, and he had a voice. All respect Steve!!
I love his left foot pounding out the beat! Great percussion
He's still got it loved that version as well, will always love this song.
Sounds as good as he did at Golden Voice in South Pekin 40 years ago.
It's a great preformance!
What an awesome voice - and the harmonica interpretation of such an iconic piano track is great!
Thank you Steve. You are part of my Soundtrack .. making me smile along the way.
Awesome to hear Steve singing this great song! I've probably played it 10,000 times on the radio over the years. Beautiful song.. and Steve's voice is still great!
Deserved more success. Amazing voice. Very spiritual and heart warming
Probably one of my favorite songs of all time.
Great tune, takes me back to such a great memorable time and place.
Damn, Steve sounds awesome and looks great for his age. This was one of my favorite songs back in the early 80's.
There's always been something profoundly comforting about Steve's music and performances.
One of my favorite songs ever
Me too !!
A real Troubador ... Love the tapped bass on the footboard . Good ol'Stevie .
Good as ever . Gawd bless ya , mate.
I am humbled by this mans talent. What a gift he has been since I found him!!!
Great Talent this live performance is fantastic not many artists can claim this level of quality in their live performances go STEVE really enjoyable
Beautiful. Worked on a bill with him last week and he was phenomenal. Long may he run.
This is my go-to feels song.. for so many years.. since the first time I ever heard it.. and loving it even more now !! Omg, the words are so incredibly special.. 💓
Bless his heart ❤️! He’s still doing it….like Chuck Berry, he’ll go to the end. God bless him. Love this guy.

@@grantatkinson1202 Same here. I love this version!!!! And the guitar work by George makes this so much better.
Great! Love how the harp substitutes seamlessly for that iconic piano part in the original recording and the lovely complementary guitar licks.
love the plywood percussion....what a treat...
Thank you Steve Forbert.
Can't tell you how much I love this song you've made a man feel eighteen again.
Still sounding great after all these years.❤
❤❤❤
One of the best songs ever recorded
Just discovering Steve! His unique voice has served him well over the years.
Thank you Steve. Excellent.
Goddammit man, how do you still sound the same at 69 as you did in '79? Jeez, this takes me back. Great rendition, Steve - much enjoyed!
Brilliant, Still such a great song
One of the great songs.
