Ellen Foley - The Shuttered Palace

[@richardsnijder7393]

This is Just a diamond star song on nightly heaven.....

[@kishannaconandoyle1907]

I did know because she was Mick Jones (Clash) girlfriend. So I bought this album. I loved it, I'm still loving it. What a beatiful voice. ❤

[@jackiecampbell7903]

LOVED this when it came out, still love it - takes me back to my youth

[@supachaloopa3611]

Ellen was dating Mick Jones of The Clash at the time he produced this album for her- The Spirit Of St. Louis. They recorded this album at the same time The Clash were recording their Sandinista! album, so a lot of the band members and studio musicians appear on both albums. Just some trivia for trivia's sake.

[@jeffwhite3625]

I remember it well, I was working in record stores at the time. Ellen's records were played a lot in our store. Great artist and criminally overlooked.

Kosmo Vinyl is one of the blokes in the video.

[@tonyknaggs9885]

@@Deb-rw6md Kosmo ! - wow i haven't seen him since 1978 when he we were with the boys on the 16 tons tour....aaaaaah !

[@elderherrera2238]

Spirit of St Louis is a very quiet 80$ recording. Thank for the fanfare. Im a child of the 80s..

[@PascalAubert-Parra]

The second track on the album, Torchlight, is a duet with Mick Jones and sounds like a Sandinista outtake. Highly recommended for any Clash fan.

[@nmp290765]

deserved to be a huge hit.

[@dgod62]

Love Ellen Foley, always have, what a voice, she deserved so much more fame, thanks Ellen

[@dietmarrosenboom7523]

I agree!!!thank you Ellen Foley! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@bleirdo_dude]

Wow! The Night Court woman. 😊

[@steveclarke543]

I first heard the album when it was released and was blown away. Such a unique voice, and the whole album has, as some else put it, a bohemian feel to it. And so underrated..

[@josephlammardo]

Returning to the Spirit of St Louis since my first listen in 1981. Such a unique album and unique voice. ❤

[@johnmcvicar8475]

A GEM OF A SONG WELL DONE ELLEN I STILL LOVE THIS SONG WHEN MUSIC WAS SO COOL BACK THEN👌👌👌👌👌

[@richarddean4763]

Spirit of St Louis great album

[@fleetwoodsmash]

Written by Joe Strummer and Mick Jones of the Clash; the latter was dating Ellen at the time. The Clash played on this album. You can hear alot of 'Sandinista!'

[@tattooedmillionaire]

Ellen is awesome

[@julietigermoon9572]

Fabulous talent ❤️

[@joannejones8964]

Such a beautiful song

[@mikerundberg8301]

Great song , shes one of my favorite singers

[@realityrealestate5755]

This was a another song the Clash wrote for her. Good song!

[@powi3378]

Simply love this song...

[@stevepettit2064]

I have just recently stumbled on this song it's so cool and so is ellen foley that moment at the beginning the two guys doing dance steps on the street presume its London with sandwich bar sign in the background and all those vintage cars brill love that touch.

[@tintomara6209]

So grateful for these uploads.My vinyl copy is pretty scratched and it's nice to revisit this lost classic in pristine form.

[@FrontRow2023]

Such a Legend 🙌🏻

[@realityrealestate5755]

The Clash helped her by writing songs for this album. That's why it is so good.

[@ArthurRosch]

Lovely song, great vid.

[@johnmcdonnell7268]

Minor hit in Netherlands (#45) and Australia (#48) in 1981. It is a bit strange in that although it was written by Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, and produced by Jones, it sounds like 70s Europop. Apart from the somewhat sassy lyrics, I could imagine Nana Mouskouri singing it.

[@antjefolkertsma5914]

Mooie vrouw toen en nu nog geweldige mooie muziek goeie zangeres

[@bertvanspieker]

Zo is het maar net!

[@mickirving6779]

Beautiful song!! She seems a little different!' which is good

[@michaelkedor5462]

Holy !#$% what a great song!!! Ellen and company, delivers again. Michael 2020

[@tintomara6209]

Ellen and The Clash you mean?

[@AnaLuiza-rl9ee]

Excelente.

[@styxcreek]

My favourite E.F song. So bohemian

[@JohnHoulgate]

Were those the guys from the Clash in the video? They kinda looked like them.

[@jwessonsr7503]

♥️🌹👍✌️ My fave caricature from Cocktail...that smile just jumps right out at ya

[@karmapastures4769]

A beautiful song from a beautiful album. Would love to see the full clip with the dancing men & women - seems more "threatening" and "deeper" than this straight interpretation of the lyrics.

[@harrychristopher8424]

Glad that she has started recording not sure if she has a Album release She had plenty of energy when with Meat Loaf in the Bat out of Hell album

[@francoiswilliams]

Great stuff, even Im Afrikan

[@beaumichael6359]

Harry,Dan,Mac and Bull from Night Court would've loved this. Billie Young singing!

[@angelamalseed1683]

How would you interpret these lyrics? I'm sure they have some deep meaning?

[@ChrisCrossClash]

They are Joe Strummer's lyrics, He was an amazing lyricists, that only he could answer.

[@mickirving6779]

I read the lyrics in the comment section! Open for interpretation !! Amazing song/she seems different

[@caroline6915]

To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say Now as I stroll down your boulevard You hear those Fiats and taxis Blow their horns so hard When I go out walking Flocks of birds rise from the square And all the seigneurs and monsieurs Pull up to the curb Ah To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say My shuttered palace lies away from the sun It isn't far, there, a little further So why don't you come? You call out your offers to me in your mother tongue But you don't act so macho When I ask you to come Ah To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say Ah To the sons of Europe: won't you come inside My shuttered palace and I am the bride Now I'm a woman, I walk past your café To the sons of Europe, I call out and say

[@mickirving6779]

Thanks for that! Been wanting to read the lyrics for this amazing song!

[@Lexington101]
