    Even though they lasted a mere ten years, Roxy Music accomplished a lot. This is them at their smoky, eurotrash finest.

    My two favorite parts of this music video is when the synth comes in at 0:36 and when Bryan Ferry sings the lyrics, "You can take me even higher," and hits that high note at 0:55. One of my favorite albums I own on cassette.

Feeling sooo nostalgic of my youth: ) Thank you Bryan Ferry. Also loving the Parisienne French at the end. She talks tooo fast ..but seems she's talking about how infatuated she is with a man she met ...I can catch a few phrases. Lemme see if I can translate.

    • @cindydownard

(sigh) Especially seing him like that, it lets your imagination run wild. I sure that if I lived with him, I would hold him, talk to him, get him drunk (/annoy him ?), poor guy : he would never sleep.
