David Sylvian - World Citizen / Jean the Birdman

[@gerardcrawford7747]

I was at this concert. I flew from Hong Kong to Tokyo just to enjoy the event at Showa Women's University. My first Sylvian show ever. A great night.

[@rachelar]

Pity Sylv ain't ever gonna play @HK. He like Japan too much!

[@mysticlady7512]

Anyone hating on David and his beautiful songs are just envious of his talent voice openness and appreciative fans.

[@marcusmanzoni]

Agreed.

[@paulhealey2984]

Not agreed.

[@jon780249]

His voice and music has got better and better with age.

[@cindymeehan-patton669]

I have been obsessed with David Sylvian and Japan since the 80's.....I still love them to this day.

[@farmyardflavours]

me too. i am obsessed right now! lol

[@hansOrf]

Still feel completely blessed to have lived knowing this mans talent, art and pure brilliance.

[@dearprudence1111]

i just don't get how people can hate david...he wasn't the best man in Japan's days but so much time passed already. I'm completely mesmerized by his voice and music. for me there are only two music geniuses - sylvian and bowie.

[@EnnuiOn]

I think many hate him because they loved him and Japan first, and David is sort of dismissive of his work with the band which obviously does not sit well with the Japan fans. And that's understandable because the guy created some stellar stuff with Japan only to have it broken up at their career's peak, but as he has said in many interviews, the pop star fame was just not for him and he (and the others too, to some degree) was artistically limited while working with the band. The kind of music he wanted to make could not be made with Japan, which was a band made to sensationalize the media and the commercial scene. And then there were the personal tensions between him and Karn, ofc. Its tragic that it happened but the break up was inevitable. But I fucking love his solo works and I agree, he sort of is a musical genius.

“Who’ll do away with flags” is such a brilliant line.

David and Steve are an awesome duo. That’s some thick blood collaborating. Just to think this is how they started many years ago.

Steve Jansen playing the drum machine like a Boss.

[@farmyardflavours]

[@ste.6026]

Love Sylvian's voice, I love his music but I wish he had given us more vocals throughout his career...

[@mobiuspaw494]

Gorgeous sound ! Provocative message.

[@suilvenmountain2395]

+David Bidmead nonsense

[@alonso9248]

Usted es tonto, You're a fool, theres nothing provocative on saying world citizen, is the NWO message.

[@Sergekow]

Excellent...

[@sebgaudin9850]

Soulful.. Dreamy. Jadore x

[@NEUPARADOX]

老いぼれてくると人前にでるのもおっくうなるだろう。無名な私でさえそうだ。 でも、伝えたいことがあるから臆する事なく面前に出て表現しようとする。 もはや次元が違う勇気と魂に拍手喝采すべき。

[@jordanhunter5961]

Best version of this song by far.

[@samantacampa3857]

"My world is suffering Your world is suffering Our world is suffering World citizen"

[@suilvenmountain2395]

+Imphepho pretentious nonsense

[@suilvenmountain2395]

[@СлавикСлавский-м2б]

Супер!Дай здоровья нашем детям!Здоровья и мира!

[@SlawekM.]

+ Jean the Bridman

[@alisonparker4799]

I find myself transfixed by Steve Jansen's drumming. Not provocative message (I don't think) - but for real.

[@chicfifty5067]

What's he up to these days?

[@kelvynification]

It’s interesting how Sylvian has simplified his music almost to the point of blandness these last few years, his voice is still magical and it’s obviously an incredibly subjective point of view but I do wish he would steer his ship in a different direction to newer horizons. Interesting how Steve has taken up the mantle with Exit North. Still a great admirer though:)

[@freekitten00]

world is suffering....

[@MegaCirse]

What are you afraid David? Our world suffers from too much information that is not verified scrupulously you know !

[@reimerbard1552]

Bono? David Beckham? Not sure but judging from the looks of the 'drummer' (Steve Jansen?), I'd say the milkman who used to deliver to Jah Wobble's childhood home had at least one other receptive lady customer on his round.

[@ericbruyn]

Reimer Bard brain damage?

[@ayumifuruya7020]

You pick up only new borns. Only children. That's what I'm questioning about. Why, only, new born children? The time has come and there are so many elderly people, why you guys, not you only but, focus on only new born babies?

[@kronossonork6994]

Free Palestine

[@robertstirewalt7789]

Prescient. If Sylvian can advance past preaching to songs he would be beyond Dylan.

[@steeping]

How do you advance past something that isn't representative of your music? Sylvian's body of work can hardly be defined as preaching songs.

[@paddyocall]

Nice ideology.....sorry David, but the message is depressing, find a new avenue

[@guitaristssuck8979]

The world is depressing

[@farmyardflavours]

i'm sure he will read this comment and take note
