OUR FIRST REACTION TO David Sylvian - I Surrender | COUPLE REACTION (BMC Request)

[@paulboggan]

david sylvian is one of the most under rated artists in history. genius

[@waldorfstatler3129]

David Sylvian's songs/music is some of the most naunced, ephemeral, complex, wistful and beautiful of the last 30 years. I highly recommend all his albums.

[@blbtube]

Secrets of the Beehive. When Poets Dreamed of Angels. The best.

[@darhmakarma4838]

Probably my favourite song of all time, that voice, the sound, the message. David Sylvian is one of a kind. What a great artist.

[@colin4796]

This is fantastic been a great fan of his since Japan. Thank you for covering this.

[@An_Cat_Dubh]

There are a number of classic Sylvian tracks such as "Nostalgia", "Orpheus", "Forbidden Colours" (with Ryuichi Sakamoto), "September", "Waterfront", "Silver Moon", "The Ink In The Well"...

[@birdboxbird]

And all he did with Fripp, Rain Tree Cow, Japan and Snow Borne Sorrow.

[@MrDiddyDee]

David Sylvian is one of my favourite artists, and I have not seen many other reaction channels discover him yet. Sylvian is a class act, such taste and style to everything he does. His career has followed a similar path to 60's icon Scott Walker, starting out in a pop band, then going solo and developing some extremely sophisticated albums, gradually getting more and more avant-garde and into some very challenging waters which did leave me behind, but his earlier albums are SO relaxing and my first choice when wanting to chill.

[@PjRjHj]

I always felt Sylvian's sing "Ride" could have been sung by Scott Walker.

[@macbrewster2392]

How come no one is suggesting "River Man", "Ink in the Well", "Red Guitar" Nostalgia"??? These are the good David Sylvian songs that live with me forever.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

What a nice surprise; having read the name David Sylvian so many times, hearing many musicians name him an influence and I don't know one song by this great artist. Well, better now than never ... will check out more of his stuff

[@jroskott]

Sylvian has a very loyal but small fan base. He doesn’t try and please people but is his own man. Amazing lyrics, tremendous arrangements and he always gets top performances out of his collaborators. Sakamoto, Mark isham, David torn, brother Steve Jansen, Jon hassell so many amazing musicians

[@realityboost4405]

His fanbase is NOT small…It's Worldwide and in the millions.

[@jroskott]

@@realityboost4405 Could well be. I have no idea how many. I just determine this on the basis of how much I see DS mentioned in the media today. The Dutch Top 2000 had no Sylvian tune, for instance. The most horrible artists get in that list, but not David. The number of reaction videos. The number of people in general you talk to about music... So please back this up if you can. But even if it's millions, I believe Ed Sheeran has more than DS and DS is at least just as amazing ;-).

[@ianlejeune6012]

His album : 'Songs from the Beehive' is one of the greatest from previous decades. A perfect collection of songs - please listen from start to finish; it will change you. Flugelhorn, yeah!

[@markjohnson4217]

The album is actually entitled "Secrets of the Beehive". I bought that album because I loved the cover art!! I had no idea who he was at the time, but all it took was that first few seconds of Boy With A Gun--"He knows well his wicked ways, the course of bitterness.." and BOOM!! I was onboard..

[@johnbradley1586]

Absolutely !!

[@PjRjHj]

To think that "Ride" didn't even make the cut for the album.

[@markkeogh18]

Secrets Of The Beehive. It is indeed perfect.

[@dnasiliev6110]

Secret of Beehive? I suppuse.

[@MrBlond777]

I somehow missed this reaction and David Sylvian is one of my favorite artists/musicians. The music is mesmerizing and of the highest quality. Very jazzy and cool. The whole album Dead Bees On A Cake (1999) is incredible and is arguably one of his best. You both will love his music. Check out Rain Tree Crow (1991) with his former band mates from Japan - Richard Barbieri (Porcupine Tree) Sylvian’s brother Steve Jansen on drums and the incredible Mick Karn on bass. All of these musicians had a huge influence on Steven Wilson. Thx 😊for this great reaction ❤

[@cadredeux1047]

Great lyrics. I've travelled all this way for your embrace Enraptured by the recognition on your face Hold me now while my old life dies tonight and i surrender My mother cries beneath the open skies and i surrender

[@ProgMannen]

Wow... one of my favourite songs from David Sylvian. Love it.. the requester hit it out of the park.. and it's gone.. HOMERUN !

[@eliotmccann2589]

A voice that can melt chocolate. Such a great song.

[@louise_rose]

Absolutely, and beautifully arranged too. In interviews he has admitted to having "limited technical skills" as a musician, so I assume he had to work this out by explaining what he wanted to his sidemen, or by some trial-and-error, but the end results are amazing! :)

[@jasonegeland1446]

I wish reviews were this honest in person more than half the time.

[@markjohnson4217]

David Sylvian's masterpiece is the double album 'Gone to Earth'. It is like journeying through incredible landscapes, a haunting beautiful album. Check out 'After The Bullfight', 'Taking the Veil', 'The Boy With a Gun'. He has delved deeply into ambient, atmospheric music as well, his album 'Alchemy' is a stunning, haunting release of ecclectic, experimental atmosoheres Like Peter Gabriel David Byrne and Kate Bush, he is one of those rare artists that can reach into cross-culture influences, combine genres, and expand instrumentation without ever seeming like he is over-reaching. A brilliant artist..

[@louise_rose]

I completely agree, "Gone to Earth" is a beautiful album with a great guest cast ot talented musicians, and "Before the Bullfight" (yes, it's before) is an amazing ten-minute song about human mortality, or coming face to face with an impending loss. Clearly influenced by Pink Floyd, but the influences are completely absorbed. "Silver Moon" is a superb song too, very emotional and again about separation, loss and longing.

[@drumvc8060]

David Sylvian, lead singer in hugely influential late 70s / 80s band Japan. Richard Barbieri was their keyboardist, went on to be part of Porcupine Tree. When Japan split, Sylvian started solo career, the remaining band formed JBK - one Steven Wilson would often appear and play guitar for them. Steve Jansen o drummer of Japan and JBK was also a big influence on Gavin Harrison. Connecting the dots here on roots of Porcupine Tree. Japan, David Sylvian and JBK are very rich pathways you should explore.

First of all thank you both so very much! I remember my first introduction to your channel ,was when I googled reactions to Genesis "carpet crawler's"and up popped Nick and Lex!! I was moved to tears Nick by your reaction.... loved it 👌 There was Lex supporting you and indeed Lex was being moved herself 💞since then I've looked forward to every reaction.Music brings us all together (as you two beautiful souls well know!), regardless of race, colour or creed.Nick music is to be absorbed by the mind ,body and spirit and you both demonstrate that fact so beautifully ! time and time again ! It was an absolute no-brainer to choose David Sylvian.Every time I go walking in the countryside I play my favourite music 💖 yep ! David's in there 🎵.I've been blessed to hear David Sylvian and I'm thrilled to see you being so moved by him 👌 It's a fantastic journey we are all on......we love and appreciate you both so much 💖 THANK YOU 🤗

[@mvunit3]

Been meaning to get into his early stuff, so thank you for sharing! I left in my comment that they now should checkout a CD I got for them "Sylvian & Fripp - The First Day", and other purchases that have these "sounds/tone" like your request. Really like this :).

There's a nice live version (from a 1988 Italian TV show I think; David's wearing sunglasses) on KZbin ... maybe not quite the quality as listening to the record, but it gives you more of a feel for the musicians and the time.

I didn't see your comment either 🙏

[@chatelain567]

Hautting and soothing perfection.

[@MonsterSound.Bradley]

I am so glad you're getting to some David Sylvian. I knew you would appreciate him when you got there - chill yes. Two of my absolute favs by him are popular: 'Boy with a Gun', and 'Forbidden Colours'. These two gems show more of his expressive vocals imho. Peace guys 😎👍🍁 (sustain pedal on the piano btw)

[@nikle219]

please check out his concert 1988(especially the one at 30th of May), that trumpet kills me, i listen this over and over, never bored.

[@shantaramhicks1029]

Love David Sylvian. Love his voice and he always works with great musicians. My favourite albums are Secrets of the beehive and Gone to earth. He was in a band called Japan and they reformed and made a wonderful album called RainTreeCrow.

[@drumvc8060]

Secrets of the beehive is a genuine masterpiece.

[@ProgMannen]

And Nine Horses - Snow borne sorrow from 2005

[@simply_psi]

David Sylvian has one of the most distinctive and beautiful voices in music for sure, I love everything he's done from his days in the band Japan to his solo work he is amazing

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Check out his Nine Horses project (with percussionist from Can) and his collaborations with Robert Fripp (a bit heavier and proggy) and Ryuchi Sakamoto. All good!

[@markkeogh18]

Nine Horses was Sylvian, Steve Jansen and Burnt Friedman. No Can members involved.

[@1charlesallnut]

David Sylvian really opens up a HUGE rabbit hole, starting with his band Japan, and then Rain Tree Crow, and the offshoots with Jansen/Barbieri and Jansen/Barbieri/Karn… So much great music.

[@drumvc8060]

Jansen Barbieri really made some amazing music

[@stoneybass5981]

Your reaction to the music is authentic and genuine. I'm a fan of David Sylvian. Unfortunately it has few likes.

[@thornbird6768]

David Sylvian of the band Japan 👍🏻 Ghosts by Japan is fantastic . He also did a track called Forbidden Colours with Japanese artist Ruichi Sakamoto 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 both of these tracks are my favourites by David Sylvian . Guys thanks for reacting to British bands /artists from days gone by 👍🏻 love your channel and your appreciation of music ♥️

[@JC19676]

You finally have done the artist who I feel is a modern day poet who sets his poetry to music. Investigating Sylvian's career is a very fun task. This rabbit hole is similar to Steely Dan in that there is a transformation that occurs in his music. From his start in Japan where they were at first influenced by The New York Dolls then took Roxy Music and Bowie influences and became the ultimate New Romantic band. Then came Sylvian's solo career where gems like Secrets of The Beehive (his masterpiece) and Gone To Earth(featuring his collaboration with the iconic Robert Fripp. Sylvian reunited Japan and he alone wanted to call it Rain Tree Crow! Can you imagine The Beatles getting together again and calling themselves something else? Influenced by the German band Can most songs were done in a jam session like style. Well the result was beyond brilliant and demonstrated how peculiar Sylvian's artistic desires were. Sylvian would also do two albums with Can member, Holger Czukay, that is how much he admired Can. With regards to Fripp(Nick your favorite guitarist is Holdsworth mine is Fripp), he would joining together with Sylvian in a unit called Sylvian/Fripp. At one time, Fripp wanted Sylvian to become the singer of King Crimson and Sylvian refused. In addition, Sylvian formed a group named Nine Horses including his brother Steve Jansen who was in Japan and Rain Tree Crow as well. In that group Sylvian continued his musical excellence and sense of experimentation. One of Sylvian's most important collaborators is Ryuichi Sakamoto. The Japanese composer who started out in Yellow Magic Orchestra have worked together since the early 80s. One of their sublime masterpieces was the theme to the film Forbidden Colours. As a musician I am always blown away by Sylvian's melody and words juxtaposing with Sakamato's sparse but well thought keyboard work. Forbidden Colours kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXjCdp6ioJKmr80 The song I Surrender is from the album, Dead Bees On A Cake. Sylvian considers this to be one of the best songs he's ever done. There is a spiritual component that is inherent in Sylvian's work. He grew up a Christian and had elements of that faith in his music. By the time of I Surrender, Sylvain had studied Hinduism and Buddhism. Those influences are quite evident in this part of his career. He lived in Minnesota with his then wife, Ingrid Chavez, the co-writer of Madonna's Justify My Love. Sylvian recorded the album at Paisley Park Studios owned by Prince. Tommy Barbarella who was part of Prince's New Power Generation plays on the album. This is a very bizarre coincidence as I was just reading a post my friend had done on Sylvian's Secrets of The Beehive. I did a search for the latest from you two and voila' a great surprise.

Really glad you went with this recommendation. This has been a song I fell in love with when I first heard it many years ago... so smooth and hypnotic. And the trumpet solo lasting 2 mins. at the end make the hairs on my neck stand up everytime! A song I listen to at least once a month👍 Can I strongly recommend - The Durutti Column (Vini Reilly) and a live version of a song called "Without Mercy" filmed and recorded in Japan...it really has some fantastic trumpet, violin, drums and guitar work...

[@simply_psi]

Ah Vini Reilly (Durutti Column) is so good, I saw him live, he had flu and the night before after a gig in Manchester he had all his equipment stolen, he had all brand new guitars, pedals etc and was learning them on the fly but he still put on an exceptional show for us fans, even stayed back afterwards to chat with those who wanted to what a legend. An underrated guitar genius.

[@michaelmalone3089]

Falcongal thank you so much 🤗

[@PjRjHj]

David Sylvian is amazing, uncompromising, maybe a little too serious 😉. This song is baby making music. "Thalheim" and "Wanderlust" were other great songs on the Dead Bees... Album. Japan was awesome, they had one of the best, most unique bassists to grace popular music, the late great Mick Karn. David and Mick had a strained relationship after Japan but they did manage to collaborate again as Rain Tree Crow, and two epic songs in the late 80s, "Buoy" and "When loves walks in"

[@Fibonacci64]

If you found Steely Dan and began digging, now you have Sylvian. Start from "Brilliant Trees" (post the band Japan) and forwards. That first album is mind-blowing. And don't forget this track with Sakamoto: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmK8nHuAf85gqsU

[@trufflehund]

This song is the entree. Orpheus is the main course. Promise you. Steely Dan would approve....

Gone To Earth is my fave David Sylvian album. This track is fantastic as well. From Gone To Earth, check out Silver Moon.

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

Must admit, I'm not very familiar with his solo work, but know it's highly praised. I know him from his work with Japan. I mentioned Whistle Test the other day. There's a great version of their classic Ghost's. Japan also featured Mick Karn on bass, Sylvians voice was just brilliant. I've mentioned it before but you'd love Talk Talk. Mark Hollis had such a fragility to his voice. I remember when I mentioned Spirit Of Eden, Michelle said she sent you it. It will blow you away. I can guarantee you've heard nothing like it.

[@michaelmalone3089]

Love talk talk Gary 👏👍👌

[@trufflehund]

Only really discovered Talk Talk just before Mark Hollis died. They were big when I was busy with work and bringing up kids. Now I have more time to explore all genres and Talk Talk stands out. I appreciate just what exceptional quality is within their music. John Cope, The Rainbow, Life's What You Make it.

[@markdrechsler5660]

Definitely check out this album he did with Robert Fripp of King Crimson. More rock oriented, though there are some trance-like sections with lots of Frippertronics. The album also features future KC member Trey Gunn on Chapman stick, and Peter Gabriel’s drummer Jerry Marotta. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b57ckqmXe7mtf5Y

#nicknlexrequest So now you can jump to the CD I got you *Sylvian & Fripp* - "On the First Day" and checkout my Reaction Suggestions from the Box Email details ;). I really don't know his "Solo" stuff but I figured it sounded like this, a kind of music I have come to love (checkout the CD's from Peter Murphy, The Gathering, Steve Hackett, Kim Mitchell, Trevor Rabin, Blackfield, Casualties of Cool, and Animal Logic, I purchased for you. Not all songs are like this Sylvian track but _you'll get_ where I'm coming from ;). He is from a band called "Japan" that I don't know much about either (just remember the name), which I'll have to look into. Their wiki-page says; Initially a glam rock-inspired band, Japan developed their sound and androgynous look to incorporate electronic music and foreign influences. Also considered an early "New Wave" and "Synth-Pop" band, which makes sense. VERY much up Lexi's alley :D. Michael seems to know you guys well :). Almost forgotten that "Richard Barbieri", keyboardist for Porcupine Tree was part of "Japan" as well. So . . .
