Aztec Camera - Deep Wide and Tall (Official Music Video)

[@billymcmonagle949]

Roddy Frame is the epitome of boy genius , he wrote some of the very best songs, musically, melodically, and lyrically since the Beatles , i don't think he ever wrote a filler song, they all meant something to him. East Kilbride's finest, Take a bow Roddy, been a fan every step of the way

[@prumpty0987]

The whole LP is great. Back in the '80s everyone was so obsessed about looking cool they forgot how to enjoy themselves but this band obviously did it right

[@kgarred]

why so few views??? Roddy Frame is a musical genius. Period! One of the best bands of the 80s, no doubt

[@ArieteArmsRAMLITE]

Few views because this is a smaller channel showcasing them.

[@denisek.543]

I mean I just found out about them today

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Why do you you give a rat's ass how many views there are?

[@framodcole]

Keith. That's how it goes. We know this. Cheers. :)

[@amparogarcia697]

Es el más grande!

[@pdg61met]

This song brings back so many memories of a much sweeter time

[@CarmelDeery-qc9lv]

Wonderful decade to b a teenager, yo,who agrees.???.Does anyone agree with me. AZTEC CAMERA. all the way. Great 1st album of Astec camera. Balisimo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@sebastiaanvanwater]

I've searched for this tune for over 20 years ever since I heard it as a kid. I didn't know who sang it, could only remember one line of the lyrics but Google has clued me in that this could have been what I was looking for. My journey is finally done.

[@nicholasvandenberg6563]

Odd you should say that - my story behind this song is exactly the same. :) In my case, the local radio DJ misquoted the name of the band - so when I first started looking for the song on the internet, I was going in a completely wrong direction and not getting anywhere. Glad to have found it!

[@belenmarinez8616]

The same happened to me...but when I finally found it I became a Fan🤩

[@cariza5]

Aztec camera are a great Scottish band

[@andreaappleyard5460]

Dig out High Land Hard Rain, and more especially LOVE both amazing albums, standing the test of time in 2020. You will not be disappointed.

[@kevinrene8065]

Doncha' just love that??? :)

[@stevepettit2064]

totally under appreciated this song deserved to be a top ten hit.

[@garycollinson8991]

Song should have got a lot more attention ! Its great of the best songs of the 80s.

[@xoxxobob61]

A Beautiful well written Pop Song!

[@FulgencioLozanoMartínez]

0:36 De entre todas las bandas que emergían en los años 80, surgió Azter Camera, con un talento fuera de lo común. Absolutamente imprescindible!!!

[@1933Austin7]

63 people obviously don’t know what great music is. This is a belter from Aztec camera. Stuck in the 80s

[@elizabethbell4697]

This is such a gorgeous song which was totally ignored back in 1988. I hope that this song deserves the love that it deserves.

[@stevenseagull7881]

no way this was one i liked. listen to it now sorta sounds less complex than i remember

[@sgtdarryldm]

I first heard this song In around 2 AM in of January 1987 at a co-workers apartment after a company birthday party. It was a perfect moment and timing when the host played this song. A year later I lost my virginity to a girl that was at the party at another company party after party by the same host. I so miss the 80s as well as you Jen.

[@Rasgazza]

The only artist ever to move me to tears on numerous occasions. The best singer/songwriter of his generation by a street.

[@danielward3016]

One of them. He certainly deserved to have more big hits than he had.

[@srl6018]

and paddy mcaloon

[@dougmedina4619]

Edwyn Collins of Orange Juice was pretty good too!

[@framodcole]

@@dougmedina4619 Because of EC or because of RF? Or because they are friends?

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

@@srl6018 Damned straight, Roddy's brilliant but Paddy's a bona fide genius

[@franciscovite5957]

Good memories, Mexico city, stereo Cien, hooked on 80s

[@ManuelMorillo-e1s]

Agreed. Thought this song was underrated thirty years ago and today I still do…

[@AlbanianMan]

Aztec Camera was a criminally underrated band. I remember this little gem from 120 Minutes on MTV

[@jessicab112]

They were big in Australia.

[@fmartingorb]

They were huge in Europe

[@framodcole]

Roddy knows his stuff. Saw him in 86. North Star to me was too thought out. Been rediscovering Surf and Western Skies. Loved Dreamland. Don't like Ryuchi's politics but him and Roddy made a great album.

[@daniberlanga]

I was listening to them in 83 when I was 10 and I still appreciate them today, this being one of their best tracks by far. Lovely band.

[@HuntersMoon73]

I was just wondering why 120 Minutes never played this video! Must have missed that episode, though I watched regularly. Nevertheless, I had the album and loved this song very much (still do).

[@julesd9543]

What a talented guy, and yes he was drop dead gorgeous.

[@mariameredith5328]

Yes!!! Those eyes!

[@s.k.9401]

soooo gorgeous 😻

[@joseschmoe2800]

Takes me back to 1989(?), when Ana my half Brit/half Mexican 19 yr came to live with me in Chicago. I used to play this song for her. When I hear this tune I can still recall vividly the Gold Coast condo I lived in, the entertainment center with the stereo that played this tune. And in a blink of an eye, 25 yrs passed. But the memory marvelously accompanies me still.

[@thehylianloach9473]

Beautiful story. I wish my generation could make music this magical.

[@beeef4084]

I met my Ana (Ann) in 1968. (89 upside down) Wow, good story! I am still married to this awesome woman...Except for one thing; she's half Portuguese! Sorry man, you should have never let her go? Respectfully.

[@thohangst]

Awesome.

[@Jim.Fletcherskorpius551]

This was released in 1987.

[@craigdickie2713]

roddy frame a legend. what a talent

[@Rosa-qv1nc]

I love Roddy and his band since I was teen....always felling the truth of his music and lyrics.... always enjoying his amazing voice.... Aztec Camera forever!!!!!! 💙💙💙

[@shaunfossett]

Roddy is CRIMINALLY underated for his guitar skills.

[@larskirk6268]

I heard that Mark Knopfler rated him as one of the best.

[@jonshaw9472]

@larskirk6268 Roddys guitar playing is what made Aztec Camera stand out, Roddy used to support Aztec in concert by playing an acoustic set as Roddy Frame before Aztec went onstage, I saw it myself in 1990. Roddy played all styles but his soloing was awesome.

[@kevinrene8065]

Wow, I completely forgot about this song. God bless the 80's and those forgotten little nuggets of gold!!

[@patrickepps255]

In a world like this such positive music is so refreshing to hear!

[@michaeltaylor1219]

What a feckin tune! Just listen to that amazing bass line pinning the whole song together! Amaze balls! 👌👌👌😍

[@loslocos6590]

Magnifico grupo, los sigo desde la adolescencia, una pena no haber visto a Roddy en directo. Me pregunto si seguirá en activo todavía…. Que sepas que soy tu mayor fan!!

[@gtmobayer]

Excellence put to words and music. Didn't pay attention to Aztec Camera in the 80s, and how I wish I did. I was in Scotland for 2 years in the Navy, and there was nothing but a treasure trove of liquid platinum spewing out of the fountain of pop! I'm sure they came by Glasgow, and I WISH I'd seen them! This sound has been lost, and we'd only be so fortunate to get it back! Glad to have been part of the GREATEST Generation of music-the unequivocal 80s!!!

[@1969atam]

I bought Love on CD in 1988. I was obsessed with that LP. I still have the CD and a mint LP version that I only played once to save it. I taped the CD to a TDK MA-X 46 cassette which I still have too!

[@MsToniFrench]

Forever grateful to Scott for introducing me to this band. LOVE this song. Thank you, Aztec Camera, for sharing your gifts with the world.

[@BilisNegra]

Do we have to guess who on earth that Scott guy is?

[@MsToniFrench]

@@BilisNegra ~ Scott Ryser... my former hubby.

[@BilisNegra]

@@MsToniFrench Ok.

[@StephenDevon]

I remember this song stayed in the charts for about 10 weeks without ever getting into the top 40, criminal.

[@sharonde]

How gorgeous where you back then Roddy Frame ? You still are..... EKOK 1988 i was 16. Long after being a fan x

[@markallgood7980]

This should have been massive!

[@BrendanPramjee]

Man i forgot about this gem!! oh the 90's! The last decade for great music. Perfect track this one!!

[@juliekailihiwa8150]

have loved them since we saw them play in college 1980s...Blue Note Columbia Missouri..remember the lyrics from this entire album. Such a unique sound

[@mordaciousfilms]

Discovered and fell in love with this band as a teenager while digging deeper into 80's music (I'm 24 now). Great stuff, I certainly prefer this to the stuff of my own generation...

[@lorettalynndavis9695]

...And you're right to do so lol!

[@vellabella1]

I was 17 when I saw Roddy Frame at Bimbos in SF.

[@carmenmonroe7]

Yay 80s is the best. So diverse, my generation 💜♐️

[@RicksCafeAmericana]

@@vellabella1 I was at that unplugged concert at Bimbos in the City too. Will never forget it. I’ve seen many great artists over the years-most with a much higher profile-but that evening remains unsurpassed in my concert-going experiences.

[@estherm2878]

Qué recuerdos!! Fantastica esta canción

[@katieboyer5515]

In 1987 I fell in love with the Aztec Camera "Love" poster in the room of a friend at boarding school. In 1989 I was given the "Love" and "High Land, Hard Rain" cassettes and I played them incessantly. In 2014 I saw Roddy Frame in concert at the Barbican and he sounded EXACTLY the same as his recordings. Today I'm still on the post-concert high, so I'm watching the videos that American MTV denied to me. 1987 me is totally crushing on 1987 Roddy Frame.

[@GraciasKike]

Dave Mustaine (Megadeth): “We were in Paris and MTV was on. I remember I was really sick at the time, and Roddy Frame was singing Deep And Wide And Tall, and he’s just a really great pop songwriter. You can tell the metal guys that have successful, long-lasting careers are usually people that listen to music outside the obvious realm and have influences from outside metal. If we’re just repeating what our peers are doing, we’re not really pushing the envelope. 🙂
