Arrival were from Liverpool. They made classy solid soaring pop/gospel/soul type music and "Friends" can't be beat! This is what music is meant to sound like. The warmth went out of music long ago.

I love this song i heard it as a kid of 13 years of age in 1970 and over the years i forgot all about this song i just happened to click on this song purely by accident and all the memories came flooding back. I just dont remember the abrupt ending tho that bit was strange.
@Witheredgoogie4 жыл бұрын
That abrupt ending is on the single too, at least some of them . The song took a while to break into the charts and maybe it had to fit a radio timing requirement or something?

I was 13 that year too & loved this tune. Was lucky enough to see Kokomo (the band they became) on the Naughty Rhythms Tour of what 73? 75? Dr Feelgood were on the bill too; tickets cost 75p or something ridiculous like that... discovered Terry Reid, who wrote this, a few years back (Superlungs! Think it Over! His rendition of Waterloo Sunset rivals the original). How wonderful to see footage with those swinging London haircuts (shades of Ziggy???) 20th Century will come to be seen as the golden age of pop....

I did have the extraordinary experience, a few years back, when getting together with other ageing 'vinyl heads' for social evenings revisiting our collections - hearing old singles I'd only ever experienced through tiny TV or transistor radio speakers, blasting out through a big stereo system and realising how great the production was; what a revelation!

I saw Dyan singing with Kokomo at the 100 Club some ten years ago and it was apparent even then that she wasn't well. I also have a recollection of Dyan, Frank and Paddy fronting a band called (I think) Vamp, in the early 80s at the Bass Clef in Hoxton. Anybody else able to confirm my feeble memory?

@@peteiswriteingnow Your pompous need to elevate your standing by lowering others has obliterated your ability to think and see beyond the words you read or hear. "".....all sitting round smoking pot after dinner" IS the hook not because it is stated as such (and if it was the then BBC radio monopoly would not have played it) but precisely because you are supposed to subliminally think of that when you hear the lyric. If you listen carefully you will notice that the "port" line occurs twice... but differently. At the beginning it is "".....all sitting round TAKING port after dinner" while later on it is ".....all sitting round DRINKING pot after dinner." The reason for this is bleeding obvious. "TAKING....." could apply to pot or port equally and the intent is to create a subliminal naughty lyric, indeed with many mishearing rather than re-interpreting "Port" as "Pot." However, the second time it changes to "DRINKING" thus clarifying that it is really about Port thus making the song legitimate to the BBC etc. Don't believe this? You just need to ask yourself one question. Why would they otherwise change the word from "taking" in the first line to "drinking" in the second instead of using either word both times? I suspect it was originally intended as "taking" both times but some producer advised then to change it second time to pass the censors. Borderline lyrics the listener is intended to misinterpret is very common. Try the Kenny Ball number "So Do I" with it's catchy line "...you like jazz more than Lizst and you like to be kisses so do I...." It's far more interesting and enlightening when you discuss analyse the culture instead making childish "I'm right" "You're wrong" type comments.
