Love Is Like Oxygen - 40 Years Part 2: Andy's Home Demo (OFFICIAL)

[@lynnebruce913]

Thank you Andy for saying such nice things about Brian. when ever I see pic's or videos of you all playing together it brings tears to my eyes to think 3 of you are no longer with us. I loved Sweet and idolised Brian I just wish I had a time machine to take me back to the 1970s I would make it my mission to meet all of you in person.

[@chrisc9389]

Amen! I am hoping in that time machine with you and attending every Sweet live show I could get to!!

[@s.d.haddock1678]

A moment of Grace in the life of Brian!!! 🥰 Thank you so much Andy for this touching tribute!!! 😉We’ll never forget that wonderful song!!! 🥳

[@pleun315]

This song is a real masterpiece in every way and hearing Andy walk us thru the work in process is just unbelievable. Brian was on his way down but gave us his last precious gift with his beautiful voice. The lyrics speak for themselves. This is the last song of them together, like Andy said...if only it could continue like that..... Sweet for me is the most underrated band ever, what an amazing legacy from a very very talented band.

[@chrisc9389]

well said! Amen

[@theking-nz1ut]

I love Brains voice on this track , its the best vocal Brian ever done. Rip Brain 💖

[@AHoundOnAHonda]

Poor "Brain". 😄

[@WupWup68]

"Nobody was really looking forward to the fact that we didn't know what state Brian would be in"... God, that's so sad. Yes, if only... I've only recently re-discovered Sweet. Already loved 'Ballroom Blitz', 'Fox on the run' and 'Love is like oxygen' (and all the other hits) as a kid, but it's only now, in these covid-times, that I realise what a great rockband they were. Better late than never, but still... Thank you, Andy. Rock on! RIP Brian, Mick and Steve.

[@smileyfacedelfino4701]

Thank You Mr. Andy Scott for "Love Is Like Oxygen - 40 Years Part 2".... AWESOME!!!!

[@domenicogrossi2952]

The great voice of Brian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ellenr.3409]

Thank´s a lot for the demo video "LILO". And also for the memories of the two beloved Sweet members, Brian Connolly & Mick Tucker, who unfortunately have long passed away. God bless you, Andy Scott.

[@justincase2271]

Great song from an amazing band.

[@godders7594]

Fantastic to see and hear this archive footage, but you can't help but feel sad for what could have been.

[@drummerman1964]

Once again, thank you so much for sharing your memories with us, Mr. Scott ! And as we´re all getting older and older, you know, please don´t wait too long with other goodies from your archive. LEVEL HEADED is great and my second favourite SWEET-album ( after the great SWEET FANNY ADAMS... ). Greetings from Germany were you had your strongest biggest fan base ever.

[@xyzvision]

I agree Andy, Sweet should have kept going, you guys just kept getting better and better. Such is life. I love that you love your band so much!

[@alisonnorcross951]

Yes they got better as they could sing their own songs

[@MeiZu0606]

Sweet one of my favorite bands and the greatest!!! please Mr. Andy share more memories with all of us!!

[@Pinkchampagneangel]

A beautiful song!!! Thank you Andy for sharing.....Sweet one of my all time favorite groups....magical

Pure gold Andy - love it -

[@phillarsson8253]

Such sweet words from Andy. So sad Brian never lived to see this. Rest his soul and hail to Sweet!

[@JDCUSA]

They made their mark in music and had experiences that most of us only dream of having. Sweet created an impressive and unforgettable body of work. They were a phenomenal band!

[@janstergaard703]

There's nothing quite like time traveling like this, I love it! Thanks alot!

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Yes, Brian's voice sounds so clear, articulate and pure on the verses whilst Andy's vocals on the choruses are also very accomplished and great. The 'Level Headed' album is my favourite Sweet album . I only wish that Brian would have stayed with the band because they really were producing mature material by this stage .

[@zenden8870]

Thank you for sharing, Andy. Born in 1965, I grew up with SWEET.

[@henrikpersson8741]

Fantastic song Andy! Great video ❤

[@seuyt88]

Yes, so "sweet" and pure his voice was in this song. Thanks Andy.

[@frankthetank718]

I listen to THE SWEET since I was sitting (as a kid born in 1966) in front of the TV in the living room watching the german "DISCO" show in the early 70s. I even can´t remember this show without THE SWEET. The band of the 70s?......THE SWEET! What else! :-) When I watch the shows in youtube or listen to the records today I do this with a little melancholy. Brian was an extraordinary excelent vocalist and "Love Is Like Oxygen" shows this directly without any doubt. But what I wonder about since many years I do listening to this song is: what kind of guitar amp was Andy playing. The guitar sounds very aggressive. ...... a Fender amp? :-) I like it how you are into THE SWEET still today, Andy!

[@chrisc9389]

As I always said, These guys created magic together. Nothing about their music was ordinary

[@lisastone8695]

wow I loved this song.i loved everything they did.brings back good times glad you still have this sight up and running.

[@WendywdjnyJ]

played LILO to a young person the other day; and their comment was "it doesn't sound like the music today" Well great! because it's original and actual talent put together to produce a one off sound :) thanks for making great music that stands the test of time

[@scottyh8494]

Hi Andy I meet you in Canberra Australia when Suzi Q introduced us. I love how you kept the sweet thing alive on the internet. I think love is like oxygen is a signature song of what could of been more of if Brian didn’t do what he did. Cheers see you again one day. Scott 😀

[@michellew.3691]

Thank you so much! I love your videos and behind the scene stories! Very much appreciated! Greetings from Germany

[@SweetLep1961]

Andy I love these stories please keep them coming ❤️❤️

[@TheJetfighter666]

I was the biggest Sweet fan in the U..S. Why I didn’t start a U.S. fan club is one of my biggest mistakes in life. I hung with the guys on their first tour with Eric Carmen headlining. Dave Wyndorf was with me in Buffalo and Philly. Saw the Off The Record your in Philly at the Spectrum with Foghat. After one performance in Conn. I hung with the guys all night. Brian’s over drinking was evident and the last time I said goodbye to him, he was in another world. One of the roadies let us in to Brian’s room and we sad our goodbye’s and thanked him and the guys for letting me drink on their tab all night. Saw them as. trio with Journey and my wife got all my Cut above The Rest album signed. Also saw them two more times with the new vocalist and once with just Andy in N.Y.C. Fantastic live group that should have been huge.

[@rogerspaistefan]

"There's a rumour going around the town, that you don't want me around" ....how prophetic!

[@s.d.haddock1678]

rogerspaistefan 🥺😢😭

[@hmcvalesano]

I love your insights to the craft of the music you and your friends created. So amazing.

[@tonymate6664]

Many thanks guys for this from the 60s generation!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌️🏻🤘🏻

[@something-----]

Congrats - 40 yrs on and this track still sounds simply amazin. Keep up the good work Andy, really enjoying the content you've been putting online... by the way I heard a really great (9 min epic) remix of LILO earlier, so people clearly still love you guys !

[@stevenlangdon-griffiths293]

Just great, really sweet.

[@helenb6399]

Yes Brian did sing it better than you Andy, and he obviously knew how important this song was so did his best. Thank you & if you have any more good stuff like this get it out now in your anniversary year, don't wait til we're all pushing up the daisies lol!! Also the interview you did for Sounds of the 70s has been blocked on copyright grounds by Aviator Management, why? Don't they want people to hear it & why isn't it on Officially?? "Sorry about that" just doesn't compensate for the disappointment i feel every time a fan's clip is taken off & doesn't reappear officially. Please put it back on quick!!

[@dr.jpdixon6299]

Hey, Andy. I don't know if you read these comments, but I really like the music you did with the band. And it saddens me that Spotify doesn't have many of your albums, most of it is Best Of and so on... But there are many songs and albums that I'd love to hear there

[@xetexuk12]

Fantastic!

[@garydunn3037]

Nice to hear Andy telling us he wished Brian could have stayed like the way he was on this track. I guess the poor guy just could not hack the hard living lifestyle of being out on the road all time anymore, and it was the alcohol that kept him going, but ultimately led to his demise. r.i.p Brian and also Mick Tucker who died of leukaemia.

[@alisonnorcross951]

A great masterpiece

[@crisprtalk6963]

Great tune.

[@susyd2776]

Absolutely heartbreaking...

[@Slipmahoney21]

My favorite song when it came out. I thought Sweet could make hit songs at will!

[@johnobrien8910]

great vocals by brian he was ruining his carreer and theres 5 songs he sings on level headed andy 2 steve one.and.one instrumental. great andy came up with this there last uk hit.with the help of trevor griffin.sweet go prog pity it didn't last.r.i.p brian and mick.

[@svenmidholm8257]

the best of the best band ever now ai am 60 yer still like this gays

[@steadyed]

Brians finest moment for me and Andy looking like a sexy bear

[@43Rhein10]

... so, when Brian talked about his alc problems only started after he left the band, was he lying? I don't see why he should though! Anyways, outstanding performance - and not just Brian's singing. Also the guitar! I'd never heard anything like it before.

[@paulrogers7067]

Hi Andy Paul Rogers from Australia

[@maryanncolyer1187]

Talk about a song that predicted his future with sweet, there's a rumor going round the town, that you don't want me around. Then they kicked him to the curb . sad

[@coltsfan6179]

Actually Brian left on his own in February 1979 .

[@josevitor4883]

Top Brasil 🇧🇷 muito bom mesmo 🌏👻 top

[@kinglisco1379]

i always felt that andy was a bit jealous of brians success. brian was such a good human being.

[@adamborgia]

So wrong... Andy was the mastermind behind the band. Think Paul McCartney in the Beatles. Yes, every member was incredibly gifted (instrument + voice), but for the audience, Brian was the main man. He stood as the main character, the image (exposure) of the band, and had his stunning voice. Andy had (has) a terrific voice two, but he also knew when Brian's voice would suit best, and how to use its magnificence to get the best songs... About the tragic end: I can't help thinking he made the right decision, even if they lost their main man: When alcohol wrecks somebody's life, when somebody looses control, he can bring everybody down to the ground with him. Humanly speaking it might have been such a sad and tough decision... but do you see other solutions?... At least we had 3 more pretty good albums after Brian left... better than nothing at all.

[@chrisc9389]

I think if they all tried to help Brian things * COULD* have turned out differently@@adamborgia

[@drakoperea198]

Ok yes

[@axxellein]

Dazzling

[@marigarcia2270]

Por favor, se pueden poner subtitulos en español?

[@paulbuxton1326]

Non finer , Awsome band 🇬🇧

[@michaelcameron2292]

Brian was destroyed by alcohol its heartbreaking It affects everyone around you so badly it's not nice but you have to remember the good times as they always outway the bad Its devastating though

[@andyc.4387]

Where's the demo?

[@kinglisco1379]

Why did Brian’s face look puffy at the end of his career with sweet.

[@MarkGelderland]

Alcohol

[@xetexuk12]

All the bloody alcohol probably!

[@s.d.haddock1678]

He probably developped liver problems sadly...😢

[@erikerikson5276]

Ihr könnt euch das alles schönreden wie ihr wollt, nach Brians Ausstieg war es vorbei mit Sweet!

[@PlasticGirl65]

I remember the first time I heard lilo I was in my Dad's car when It came on the radio and I screamed and my Dad said "what's the matter with you?" and I said "It's Sweet on the radio" Dad's reply "You're a crackpot"

[@TheJetfighter666]

Twentiethcenturybaby K Dave Wyndorf and I used to call up WABC in New York trying to get Ballroom Blitz played. The song was # 5 on Billboards record chart and they would say “We are not programming that song” but....... when Fox On The Run came on the charts @ 47 the first week out they had no choice but to play it. My bedroom was plastered with sweet posters and pictures. I went crazy over this band!

[@TheJetfighter666]

I also hung with them in Buffalo, Philly, ( with Dave) and in Conn. in ‘78. Met Andy Cain, and Brians’ aunties. Also drank politely on the Sweet’s bar tab. GREAT MEMORIES!

[@helenaknight8874]

Absolutely 💯 agree 👍 surperb song
