Robyn Hitchcock - "More Than This" (Roxy Music cover)

Robyn doing a live Roxy Music cover.

Transcendant.........so nice to hear the lushness of the lyrics and melody without a lush production. I am sure the ferryman would approve. Hats off Robyn

[@bathsheba56]

This is very hard to play. Robyn is guy who has been out there for years, playing solo a lot of the time. He understands, maybe, as he said, from his appreciation of "Visions of Johanna," how one guy can get up there with a wood box and six strings and an understanding of the heart, and make people get the shivers. Thanks for posting. And thanks Robyn.

Roxy is sacred. So is Robyn Hitchcock. And this is good.

[@waos8971]

i just listened to a few songs for Robyn and i fell in love with his music because it's the most pure and honest music songs without any kind of faking That's what we are missing with our time amazing man i am going to listen more for him :D

[@angelatsames1263]

Beautiful. Robyn, your lilt make me swoon. :)

[@gentleeyes]

Robyn really captures the heart of this one

[@apples091]

A thing of beauty.

Sorta neat to have taken note of how many covers from Roxy’s Avalon Robyn has been recorded covering. I’ve compiled them to this playlist if you wanna check ‘em out.

I saw him do this way back in the late 80s at an in-store at Tower Records (Sports Arena) in San Diego.

KFJC 89.7 FM in Los Altos Hills (Where i've Deejayed since 1989) has a gorgeous version of Robyn singing this on snazzy red vinyl...

[@7125Mhz]

Love that station.

[@douglaswright2143]

Big fan of Robyn's, hadn't heard this before, so thanks for posting. Agree with many of the comments, including the one re "earnest". He is minimised and marginalised by being funny, but many people miss the earnest in him. The saddest and most earnest songs often start with a joke, just to get rid of it!

[@trianglesfalling]

douglas wright He's fantastic. Hope to see him one day. I adore his cover of Syd Barrett's Dominoes - v haunting ..

[@douglaswright2143]

He makes more sense as an artist live, in my opinion, so I would encourage to see him live.

[@ghostship85]

douglas wright. His studio work is too good to justify that. Some don't like his voice. I like it and believe he's a very impressive singer.

[@anastasi55]

He did this when I saw him solo at Maxwells... beautiful then...

[@TheFpCassini]

thanks for reminding me that I saw him solo at Maxwells too... I won tix from WPRB, WRSU or FMU... late 1990. I had totally forgotten... setlist.fm/search?query=robyn+hitchcock+maxwells&year=1990

[@triscat]

Thank you.

[@Staffleberry]

@bathsheba56 He sure does get to the heart of the song. I love his cover of Roxy Music's 'Take a Chance with Me' as well.

[@robertwaller4100]

yup, i figgered there would be some connective tissue & nerves & stuff betwixt these two favorites of mine. nuttin' more den' dis!"

[@alcy0ne1]

This is terrific! Idiosyncratic, of course. But best of all--earnest.

[@ericpmullins]

Roxy is great-Love it all even with the personnel changes over the years...But take Robyn's cover as a compliment. Covers shouldn't always try to be exactly like the original.

[@DazBoots88]

would have been much better with a little backup from the Egyptians! But,,,, thats just me!
