    When this song came out I was driving down the Kings Road in Chelsea, London with this playing, window down. Not kidding now, opposite me as I stopped in traffic was Bryan Ferry (in a red Alfa Romeo 6, the car I really wanted at the time), with his window down, shades on and cig hanging from the side of his mouth. He smiled and gave us a thumbs up. Too cool for real life.

    Played this song every day for years. Music doesn't get any better than Roxy Music. Did most of my courting of the ladies back in the day to Bryan and Roxy's Albums.
    Always found as soon as I played Roxy in my car with a romantic view from the window in a secluded spot, it was the automatic underwear release button for those beautiful femme fatales of my youth. Thank you so much Roxy Music, you made a difference in so many young couples lives and nowadays, older couples too. 'Young Loving Baby, So Extreme'. We can't discover the 'Same Old Scene' but the memories, well they're very intact and current.
    I felt like James Bond and Bryan Ferry rolled into one back in the late 70's to early 80's in my Italian Lancia Flavia, beautiful car, beautiful lady on my arm, beautiful music, young love and things were never better. Wouldn't change a thing.

    Compare this true expression of art with today’s music. So happy to have lived in the 80’s. If I could have it my way I would just like to be trapped in a time bubble from 82 to 88 and then start again and again and again back in 82 forever and ever….

  • @marcusoroberts
    @marcusoroberts 6 лет назад +12

    Alan Spenner's bass was simply sublime and he was the engine room in this exciting song. When he died at the young age of 43, he left a void in the world of music, not to mention intricate memorable bass licks. I tried for years to mimic this bass line but it's just too good, and should be left alone. Fab.

    • @juanpablojones
      @juanpablojones 9 месяцев назад

      Bass player was Gary Tibbs here. Spenner was good but he joined when Tibbs left to join Adam & the Ants in 1981. Bad move for Tibbs in my opinion as Adam & the Ants became a dated fad very quickly.

    Roxy Music, the only band I would listen to who sang "relationship songs." There is just something about their presentation that (in my opinion) rises above sleaze and even above innuendo and makes seeking, desiring, and even losing seem so sweet. I don't know if they'll be one of the bands I pass on to my children (my daughter loves most of my other 70s/80s innovator bands), but they will always feel timeless to me.
