    It was a rainy day in October 1993. My gf and I hit the road from Bremen to Amsterdam listening Avalon album. Uncertainties and tension of being ex Yugoslavian war refugees mixed with a beauty of lovely moments between us collided with sounds coming from my old car’s speakers. In retrospective your hard days somehow became the most memorable hours of your life. It’s 2024, I live in California, my ex gf is somewhere in Croatia and I am still listening to this album. Love to all of you.

      Dude, that's awesome, thank you for sharing just a glimpse of your life. I can only imagine growing up in that environment. I grew up in Galway, NY in the US. Snowmobiles, chopping wood, shoveling snow in the winters, dirt bikes, allot of Jack Danials, Southern Comfort, and malt liquor beer in the summer. My hat's off to you. The strong survive.

    Not a song, An anthem for the ages and is timeless. They will still be playing this Masterpiece 1,000+ years from now and still be perplexed how great it is without really knowing why? No one can say why hearing the opening salvo brings so much joy to our hearts and minds. Don't get me started on the drummer and his cymbal splashes and mixed rim shots and tom tom rolls and a session drummer at that who has played with all the greats and it shows in his performance on this anthem, not over powering but as steady as a Swiss watch throwing in subtle percussive surprises and twists and turns and treats to our ears. Bravo Andy Newmark! You leave me panting for more and besides Bryan you are largely responsible for one of the greatest anthems in rock history and wish it would never end. More Than This? Nothing is more than this anthem and thank you for putting lives in perspective and every morning when you get out of bed and your feet touch the floor say "bonus" as that's what it is.

      Wonderful times (and yet stressful times) the 80s. "Carefree" = "San Souci" (in English, we have a joke translation of sansouci = "Woebegone" - "woe/worry is gone"). From my Croatian ancestry = "bez briga". I wonder if my children with have that sense of "woe be gone". We had that existential threat of nuclear war in the 80s, and while this time feels less fatal there is some new danger that plagues us. Thank you, Herr Grabenhorst, for mentioning that wonderful idea of being carefree / san souci / bez briga.

I have been there maybe the same as a few of you? Some say this is infatuation to a partner? But how do we define love to reality? If you ever actually feel this very special level of love then you will understand that it is something very different to the normality of this world! Indeed you might cus and disagree? But despite your marriage, were you ever TRULY in love 'at this level'? Food for thought, guys!

      I can hear this song in my mind back in 1982 and I was 23 years old and then I look at myself at 62 and wonder where my life went.

    I remember writing this song for a vaudeville show in India back in 1927. I was 107 years old. It has stood the test of time.. My work on earth is done

    This is one of the earliest songs I can recall hearing as a very young child. I was born 2002. I recently got to see Roxy Music live during their 2022 tour. My mother, and my grandmother, adore them. I was very quietly emotional throughout the gig-I couldn’t quite believe, being from a completely different generation, that I was able to experience such an iconic, incredible band play live. Beyond amazing.

      Did your mom & grandmother go with you? I went with mine to see one of the last performances of... Elvis Presley! I was about 6.

      Music knows no boundaries. A song from 100 years ago can make me smile or cry. Music changes through generations, but you can still relate emotionally to it. Glad you enjoyed it.

    I can't use many words to describe the beauty of this song... awe, nostalgia, inspiration, sadness, a cocktail of emotions that hit me hard, it's literally one of the (if not the most) beautiful song I've ever heard, I never thought a song could make me feel so much.. thanks, thank you so much Roxy Music, Vice City and Mr. Tony Vercetti

      I feel exactly the same way. This song was always my favorite when I played Vice City as a kid. Also, I'm sorry but his name is Tommy.

    This song is very ethereal, and vibrant, and yet the tunes are so haunting of a time back in the 80's when time stood still.

      Yes this song reflects the 1980s--when time stood still.

    Roxy Music was up there with Bowie for me when they were together, and I loved Bowie. First time Roxy came to Detroit it was the 70s and their first album was released me and my brother went. Queen was booked as back up band but didn't show up. Eno was with them then! I fell in love with Bryan Ferry there and then.
