Brilliant performance of a brilliant song. R.I.P. Paul Jeffreys, who died, with his wife Rachel Jeffreys , at the age of 36 on the Pan Am Flight on the way to their honeymoon, December 1988. Paul briefly joined Be-Bop Deluxe along with keyboardist Milton Reame-James just after both leaving Cockney Rebel.
After nearly 30 years without listening to it...thank to this video, I am able to enjoy this masterpiece again.....thank you man. Good memories are the best gifts to give away.
I love this song. The song accompanied me throughout my life without ever really understanding it. And again we have lost a really great one, rest in peace.
Love this song. One of my all time faves. Saw them live. Sheffield City Hall in 70's. When Music was Music. Played none stop for 3 hours with no support band. Great memories
Günter Wagner kenne Sebastian von meinem Bruder,der bereits 1979 20ig Jährig verstarb,es erinnert mich total,der Schmerz vergeht nie,brutal als ich ihn fand,wünschte er wäre hier,ich vermisse ihn soo sehr
Seit vielen Jahren höre ich "Sebastian" regelmäßig. Heute, wie damals, bin ich von dem Song sehr beeindruckt. Das Solo der Violine, mir gänzlich neu, ist herausragend.
Radiate simply, the candle is burning, so low for me Generate me limply, can't seem to place your name, cherie To rearrange all these thoughts in a moment is suicide Come to a strange place, we'll talk over old times we never smile Somebody called me Sebastian Somebody called me Sebastian Work out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me, you're mine And we all know, oh yeah! Your Persian eyes sparkle; your lips, ruby blue, never speak a sound And you, oh so gay, with Parisian demands, you can run-around And your view of society screws up my mind like you'll never know Lead me away, come inside, see my mind in kaleidoscope Somebody called me Sebastian Somebody called me Sebastian Mangle my mind, love me sublime, do it in style, So we all know, oh yeah! You're not gonna run, babe, we only just begun, babe, to compromise Slagged in a Bowery saloon, love's a story we'll serialize Pale angel face; green eye-shadow, the glitter is outasight No courtesan could begin to decipher your beam of light Somebody called me Sebastian Somebody called me Sebastian Dance on my heart, laugh, swoop and dart, la-di-di-da, Now we all know you, yeah!
ooooh, authentischer geht es wohl nicht, ich denke das ist die tiefgründigste und ehrlichste Wiedergabe in Stimme und Sound die es geben kann. Fantastisch einfach unerreicht.

"We're not gonna run Babe, Cause we've only begun, Babe". Rest In Power, Steve Harley.
The number of very differently arranged live renditions of this masterpiece of a song never fails to amaze me. And they are all so great!
Brilliant performance of a brilliant song.

The violinist was superb and added to an already classic rendition. Marvelous operatic performance by Harley.
Just thinking the same
Only saw them once, the last CatK at All Cannings in 2021. How ironic it was to raise money for cancer. Fabulous performer. RIP Steve.
One of the best songs ever, so haunting.
One of the greatest songs ever!
a tip: watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Leo Jaxxon Definitely, been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D
Mr. Harley! Can your hear me? I bend my knee and can’t do no more than say t h a n k you for that outstanding song. My best wishes.
RIP Steve Harley - thank you for this epic and magical song ... Still gives me goosebumps after all these years ...
Yeah, I was born in 61 and what a great song in the time on the way to become an adult
Genial und nach bald einem halben Jahrhundert kriege ich immer wieder Gänsehaut und unvergessliche Erinnerungen ❤❤🇨🇭
RIP Steve Harley - a great poet and a great musician
Steve forever Sebastian

High school Spanish student here. Lemme take a crack at this. "You are like fine wine....You sing better each time."
I heard this song 45 years ago, and it is still a magical and superb song, it was at Pinkpop Geleen in the netherlands
I love this song. The song accompanied me throughout my life without ever really understanding it.
And again we have lost a really great one, rest in peace.
Bellissima e struggente questa versione 😪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love this song. One of my all time faves. Saw them live. Sheffield City Hall in 70's. When Music was Music. Played none stop for 3 hours with no support band. Great memories

Love this song for so long. Listen to it since 1976..
Radiate simply, the candle is burning, so low for me
Generate me limply, can't seem to place your name, cherie
To rearrange all these thoughts in a moment is suicide
Come to a strange place, we'll talk over old times we never smile
Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian
Work out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me, you're mine
And we all know, oh yeah!
Your Persian eyes sparkle; your lips, ruby blue, never speak a sound
And you, oh so gay, with Parisian demands, you can run-around
And your view of society screws up my mind like you'll never know
Lead me away, come inside, see my mind in kaleidoscope
Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian
Mangle my mind, love me sublime, do it in style,
So we all know, oh yeah!
You're not gonna run, babe, we only just begun, babe, to compromise
Slagged in a Bowery saloon, love's a story we'll serialize
Pale angel face; green eye-shadow, the glitter is outasight
No courtesan could begin to decipher your beam of light
Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian
Dance on my heart, laugh, swoop and dart, la-di-di-da,
Now we all know you, yeah!
Tears of beauty.
