First time I heard this song I knew I'd be listening to it the rest of my life.

[@gutofreitas84]

Just recently discovered Roxy Music, and I just can't stop listening to them, love this song, Bryan is f**** awesome. Greetings from brazil.

[@bardot3665]

Me too 😅. I liked Bryan Ferry solo albums, but didn't listen to Roxy. Now I can't stop ❤️😊. This song is fantastic.

[@dmuir7526]

Adore Bryan Ferry and all of the original Roxy Music players. It’s a tribute to Ferry that he has always retained excellent musicians; the first gig I saw him do was with Chris Spedding in 1975, three rows dead Centre from the front of the stage. Sublime gig. He’s a gentleman through and through. I’ve never been disappointed by a Roxy gig. May Mr Ferry continue to keep well and keep performing. As for these tracks, they’re two of my favourites. Beautiful recording!

Legendary Ferry‼❤

I've been binge-listening to this song for days...in the car, at home...it's magical on so many levels. Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music...Pure Genius.

[@richardscott3724]

Rediscovered this tune and loving it even more than I did in my youth. This song, like so many other Roxy Music compositions are musically speaking, perfect and the lyrics are brilliant and so so sentimental.

[@bumsharvest5493]

I saw Roxy Music twice in my life, once in 1976 in Defiance Ohio and in 2002 at Pine Knob (DTE music theater) in Clarkston, Mi. Both shows were mind-blowing events; That original band is so good!!

[@ItsGeoffScottSimpson]

From the best album from a musicality perspective ’STRANDED’ the sound they produced was really down the introduction of teenage prodigy Eddie Jobson by a country mile the best musician to ever pass through the Roxy Music ranks.

[@TariqKhan-xt5qs]

[@alanscottnoblitt5681]

Agreed fully

[@philratcliffe6807]

A lot of people don't get roxy music they think it's all Bryan in his tuxedo and the smooth Avalon kind of stuff but it's not it really is a it of everything that's what makes them the band they are there's a definite rock edge Ie the great Paul Thompson a true rock drummer Phil Manzanera doing his rock thing David gill our stuff , mr rock n roll motorbikin Chris Spedding , Andy Makay with his 50s feel rock no roll sax , and then there's Mr Ferry on one hand the old fashioned crooner these foolish things etc , on the other hand the soul and blues boy fingerpoppin style , and then the rock star See the first two albums etc plus others it's really varied that's what makes them so good

[@Mike7478F]

Then they don't hear the music at all. It's quite intense, sexy and melodic and vibey music.

[@krollpeter]

The legend stuff are the first four albums. Though, Avalon is a classic in it's own right!

[@helenesteinberg7189]

Sexy sexy sexy sound!

[@garylester8621]

One of those rare song's that never get's old. I wonder if Bryan had a girlfriend named Pearl and he had the hots for her mother Ha ha.

[@johndorcic4488]

I remember reading that the punk bands hated all the bands that came before them except for Roxy Music, and just knowing Avalon, that made no sense to me. After hearing the first two albums, it makes all the sense in the world.

[@Warrogue1]

One of the greatest rock and roll bands ever. Check out their appearances on Musikladen in '73 and '74 to hear them at their peak.

All the greatest musicians want to play for Ferry and you can tell why he's the greatest rock composer in history , the Beatles were good but this guy is just superb.

D.r Manhattan spot on .👍😀

[@martineplourde1752]

Bowie is the King of europe Elvis Presley is the King of america

[@glennpagemusic]

D.r Manhattan I love Ferry and Roxy more than the Beatles, but honestly, Bryan is somewhat limited musically. That's actually part of what makes him great, though. He's arty, dark, romantic, classic, post-modern, and proto-punk all at once. It's his vision that's compelling; if you break the songs down, a lot of them are startlingly simple and similar.

[@paulcasey6759]

@Glenn Page Music. Really? I wonder which of these simple songs you consider startlingly similar 'cause I don't hear it.

[@nigel4425]

So, this is slightly mislabelled - this is recorded on the Roxy Music 2001 World (reunion) Tour. I was lucky enough to see the Wembley show - (one of my best gigs ever) - the rhythm section complemented below is TGPT (one of the most underrated drummers in the world) and Zev Katz on Bass. You also had Roxy originals Phil Manzanera and, of course, Andy Mackay. I also think that this is some of Chris Spedding's best work. A vastly overused word, but this is an awesome line-up of one of the most influential bands ever . - VIVA

You're right. I feel that in the future Roxy Music will become accepted as one of the greasted bands ever, maybe even greater than the "Beatles." I like the Beatles, but I cannot remember the last time I listened to them.? Viva Roxy.

[@alanscottnoblitt5681]

Greatest, perhaps? but I agree with the sentiments fully even if I have problems with the commenter's typing skills. seeing/hearing Mr. Ferry perform Mother of Pearl in Berlin was one of the most most magical nights of my life.

[@sadlymusic]

I say as musical composer... Roxy music by mean as Bryan Ferry they are absolutely the best, just more various as componiments, sentimental mood, fansy, full musical sound.. Except some awesome composition, Beatle did only short poor song... For the Roxy music represent an univers ("Tara" at first.. "As strong is your love?"... and even for the full musical first their style..). I say it whatever i come from beat style (i'm between major composer in melodic and for beat). Can't be any parallel between Roxy concert against a Beatles concert... it is as for a ocean and a lake !
