Another excellent reaction, thank you. This is a great track from 'Roxy Music' it's from their 1973 album 'For Your Pleasure', another track from that album that would be good for you to react to is, 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache', thank you.
In songs like this Ferry has his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Generally speakingRoxy don't take themselves all that seriously. And the lyrics are witty & sweet & tell a story really well, which is characteristic of their music. I always think of French vocalists when I hear him - Piaf, Aznavour etc. You really should listen to A Song For Europe, which is the most delightful over-the-top send up.
It's a natural tendency when listening to music to sub-vocalize. You won't generally notice it. Sub-vocalizing vibrato might feel a little like giggling. Try singing Ferry's part! It's even more fun!
You really have to immerse yourself in the musical cultural ecosphere of Roxy Music if you are going to get them. Ferry's singing style is deliberate. Elvis was an influence. Ferry's singing style makes more sense when you see him.
Here's the thing. Bryan Ferry with Roxy Music was influenced by old style what were called "Crooners" that existed from the 1920's to the 1950's, who use to sing with more vibrato than modern-day singers. He was also influenced by Jazz singers, big-time by Elvis Presley, and the lyrics of Bob Dylan. In Roxy Music he wanted to blend this 50's style of singing, along with some Doo-Wop of that era, which oddly enough Brian Eno was into, with what was thought of at the time as a futuristic element (enter Eno's contribution) to their music. Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin, also had this Elvis Presley thing going in his voice at times.
This and the1st zlbum are the best Roxj, plus some of his solo work. He was as an art stufent obsessed with Marcel Duchamp´s The Bride Stripped Bare, a painting/sculpture with vibrato.
Didn't really evaluate the song very much. One might note the amazing lyrics. Or the outstanding technical production (especially for 1973, thanks Brian Eno). Or the incredible drumming by Paul Thompson. Or the subtle guitar by Phil Manzanera. Even the great artwork on the album cover. No, instead we get memories of Gordon Downie. This band deserved more consideration by the two of you.
iI've always guessed that the cocaine consumption inspired him to REALLY emphasize the vibrato. Bowie exaggerated his vibrato too, on albums during what were his times of conspicuous cocaine consumption.
@@hanierfamily LOL. There is a song on the same album called "The Bogus Man". I watched you first video about rental issues. I am a Canadian living in Las Vegas. I grew up in Kelowna BC. When I was working in Calgary during the I was displaced during economic crash. I ended up buying a travel trailer.
@@hanierfamily All this time later I still live in the trailer. And rent free. But then I am single. No dependents. Lots of people look into living on a boat also. Thats if you are near water. I was able to get 35' live aboard sailboat on Lake Mead. Boat cost me $1. Slip fee is $450/month incl. Power and water. There are ways if you think outside box. Not so many ways if you have children at home though.
@@hanierfamily By that time you may have well over 1 million subscribers and you can live wherever you want. Including inside a really big box if you like. 😆
I am 66, Loved Roxy music from the early 70’s onwards ,but unfortunately Bryan Ferry used that vibrato ululating thing that detracts from the lyrics, a bit of a fan that finds the yodelling comical. Like seeing marionettes, but ignoring the strings, to better enjoy the story being told.
Not one of my favorite Roxy Music songs. It's the only song on the 'For Your Pleasure" album that I don't like. I find it very dull,and think that Bryan really over sings on this one.
@@vambo13257 Well Eno also said that 'Stranded' was Roxy's best album, (even though he's not on it) and I disagree with that as well,but to each their own.
Off the wall and an original sound. You can tell this was done for Arts sake and not for commercial reasons. Really good.

Don't overlook the drumming. That base-drum pattern is classy.
Only the Greatest Album Of All Time.. thats all..
Favourite Bryan Ferry solo song is 'Slave to Love'. Was in a famous film.
Forced vibrato?? You couldn't be more wrong.
Listen to the last part of
If There is Something"
Sung at full power with that STUNNING vibrato!

Maybe my favorite Roxy track, but there are many!!
Ferry does the vibrato for effect that,s his style
Have you heard Gord Downey, From the Tragically Hip? As we mentioned in the video, his style is strikingly like Bryan Ferry's, in our opinion.
You must play "Mother of Pearl" by Roxy Music.
I don't have a problem with Ferrys vocals. Similarly with Joe Strummers.

That was us in year 1. So childlike. 😅 Please enjoy our newer material.

That song is Bogus, Man.
How do you mean?

@@jasonfrodoman1316Yeah. When the 12 year old moves out to go to college, we'll try the outside of the box life.

Strange because Eno at the time said it was his favorite Roxy song and "one that BF did practically by himself, btw."

Wrong! Elvis was his most loved idol then Jim Morrison -do your homework nerds!
