🌿 This is one of the most touching & moving music autobiographies I've watched, even if a tiny one! I always liked Ultravox' music but never happened to buy an album. Over the past 6~months I've discovered & have really gotten into Midge's solo music & so, of course, began watching interviews with him. Interviews with Midge Ure always leave me feeling so uplifted! This video is a perfect example! My takeaway from it is that whatever path life gives you, there's magic & beauty in that path even if it doesn't all play out exactly the way you were planning. Midge seems like such an incredibly nice, kind, & wise person! ✨🌿✨

This movie is also for me so touching and moving that I got my eyes wet with tears! I've read his autobiography IF I WAS... . I'm a Japanese and not very good at English so it took 3 months, but I got more and more into his music, Ultravox and solo works. What a humble, wise, kind, and strong person he is!

I had the privilege of supporting Midge Ure with SLIK on a couple of shows in the mid-seventies, and he was on the Main Stage for the REWIND festivals last year or two when I was playing support on a smaller stage, so great to see him again almost 50 years later. Midge Ure remains one of the nicest people ever to grace show business, and has always been a gentleman in a world that produces fewer than it should. Stay happy, Midge... it's infectious.

If anybody who was ever destined to be famous it was certainly Midge Ure. Not many people get that many 'bites of the apple' and it seemed to be so effortless for him. Great talent and certainly had 'what it takes'

I have always loved Midge Ure and do remember his single with Slik - Forever and Ever, was one of the very first singles I bought in my life and, believe me, it was played to death. Midge is much more of a musical genius than he has ever been given credit for, and is one of a select few British musicians and singers who has also written for other people, who have had big hits with his compositions. Midge is a real legend. Thank you for all your wonderful work and compositions, Midge from a very grateful life long fan.

Great guy, great musician, never fully gets the kudos that he deserves in the big wide world of music. I must admit i prefer his solo stuff and saw him live in 2013 in my hometown of southampton. It was just him and a guy in the background on a drum machine. He played a great variety of tunes. Top man is midge.

I wish he had talked more about his singing. He was once asked who the real Midge Ure was and he said, "I'm the cute on behind the piano." He has that iconic voice of a generation. The only other one I can think of from that era who could really sing like that was Adrian Belew (King Crimson).

Midge Ure got a lot of crap for becoming Ultravox's singer, but it's totally undue because John Foxx left (because he's a control freak)...he wasn't kicked out. It's a silly argument for some to make (including Gary Numan). Woulda also been intersting to hear him mention the fascination w/ his THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD cover after being featured in the video game METAL GEAR SOLID V
@Retroscoop4 жыл бұрын
When you listen to the concerts he is still giving, you hear note for note this Great Singer really looooves what he's doing. I wish he would have said something about his odd stint in Thin Lizzy, which was probably his strangest career move, but apparantly he wasn't molested by hardrock fans, even if he wore yellow and pink outfits. Apparantly, he really could play the rock songs very well. Also, the interview certainly could have included a word or two or three or four about the totally underrated fantastic come back CD of Ultravox called Brilliant.... because it really IS brilliant. It is really "old school" Ultravox again, without sounding "dated". So sad not larger audiences picked it up.... But who knows, maybe in 7 years an "exclusive" car producer or jewel maker will pick up Brilliant, and the song will become Big in Bulgaria, and then grow and grow and invade the rest of the planet....
