BRYAN FERRY "More Than This"
(Ferry)
I could feel at the time There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one thing More than this - there is nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like dream in the night Who can say where we're going No care in the world Maybe I'm learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one thing More than this - there is nothing
Brian was the epitome of sophistication back when Roxy Music was big. I haven’t kept up with anything he does currently.
In today’s music world, there are very few Silk Dinner Jacket, Male Crooners around.
There are some ugly things about Brian’s private life and personal opinions, (A few clumsy statements about the effectiveness of some Nazi stagecraft) but I’m not worried about all that right now. We all say stuff meant to stay private. It will not effect my life.
Steve Morrissey of England fills this role also, but for a different demographic. Morrissey was lead singer for The Smiths. They came along during the Punk Rock, Indie period.
One of my favorites, too. Roxy Music was amazing.

A very good choice.
Just heard this song on radio the other day driving home in bad traffic. One of my favorites.
So smooth and hypnotic. I can listen to this on loop non-stop.
Every time I hear Bryan Ferry I think of Karl Pilkington’s “Buy on Ferry” comment.
Me too
Did you know this is one of my all time favorite songs in the world??? I don’t know why you were moved to post this today. Sublime.
Ditto. Wonderful song - it transports me every time I hear it.

Evergreen
It lasts forever
But it can’t beat Strand power
Omggggggggg
My favorite song, but I had never seen the video. Talk about ruining the song. Ugggggghhhhh, I need to unsee his staring into the camera and dancing like Elaine......... Help me, I need therapy.......l need to get over the trauma, lol.
It would have been better to see 100 My Little Ponies dancing to it or just some construction workers putting up rebar. That may have been the worst video for the best song ever! I need sodium pentathol right now.
Virtually impossible to go wrong when choosing a Brian Ferry/ Roxy Music song.
Then do yourself a favor and do not click on the video!!!!! You will be sorrrrry!
Memo to all groups: if your music video budget is that low, use old footage of animals roaming the fields, or kids on a beach, or just point the camera at a cloud formation. Don’t destroy a beautiful song like this!
Pretty song, used to be a fan of Roxy Music and Ferry back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s - I remember “Avalon”, used to have that CD.
Kinda gay.
The Avalon album would be Roxy Music’s swan song. Many track stunningly beautiful. Bravo for class and style.
If you really want to do it up right?
Cut to the Chase.

I’m amused at the vehemence of your reaction. I’m heeding your advice and not watching the video. But since you seem so affected, here’s a little cleanser for you.

I think of you as being a dude. I’m not, but I love that song and her face.
Love it. It’s a must around the sailboat slips.
But Boys and Girls is a keeper too, for a different activity.
