Roxy Music - A Song For Europe

A Wonderful Love Song performed by the Roxy Music At The Manchester Apollo, England, In 1979

[@gregflanagan1723]

The most underrated band in the history of music. Roxy Music with the original band was a mind blowing genre of originality!

[@12dougreed]

How can you say underrated 😂😂😂 top of everything for years and years underrated?

[@gogoyubari366]

What makes you believe they're underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world?

[@Keith_Lard]

Your right mate 😊

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

Maybe not THE most underrated but in the top 3 most underrated bands certainly. This band had some of the most innovative & artsy driven members of all time with Eno, Manzanera & Ferry. Paul Thompson was the most innovative drummer along with Bonham with rhythms unsurpassed. After Siren which was a peak along with 1st 3albums of brilliance they never quite reached that pinnacle again imo Viva Roxy Music, you'll never be forgotten.

[@sammysouth8372]

@@12dougreed that’s his way of saying he’s smarter than everyone else because look how I can discen greatness and the dumb masses can’t. most overused line on youtube. when you want to show off say something is underrated

[@Davo25]

Is this the greatest song ever written? Absolutely!

[@siouzsie]

+David M (Davo25) Almost.

[@seanstevenson7764]

Absolutely true

[@ferrules577]

Roxy deserves more fame than Queen and Bowie. The real glam act.

[@jeffbrett7849]

Totally agree!!

[@repleb]

The great thing about Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson is that every drummer after him has to hit at exactly the same place in the songs. They cannot escape what Thompson created, can only imitate him. Paul Thompson is a phenomenon. On his drum kit he co-defined the Roxy songs (and Ferry work) to timeless sequences of well-placed bangs. The man is a miracle!

One of Bryan Ferry's masterpieces of music. Being a fan of his from the very early 70s, I've always thought that he and his music was like a fine wine; it got much better with age; as did he. Being about the same age as me, I always likened him to the great "Crooners" of the 1920s and was exposed to their music all of my youth as my Father and Grandfather were of that Post WWI era... Here's a comment I left on another upload of this song that was filmed 30 years later! Bryan Ferry's style of singing a romantic song is simply breathtaking. A God-given talent and a masterpiece composition of music teamed with beautiful, romantic lyrics. He seems as timeless in this video as he was in 1973 when I purchased his first album. All I can say is that as an "old-40's type crooner" the Ladies must've loved him!

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

All I can say is both you & the comment you uploaded are most truthfully & heartfelt. His romantic songs are unsurpassed in that genre. I am supremely lucky in being a fan from so long ago that the 1st time I saws them Brian Eno was still in the band & on stage. Viva Roxy Music I'll never forget you. My mother loved Psalm so much it was played at her funeral.

[@MrSebboxxx]

I love it when he sings in different languages ... it is such a beautiful, melancholic, melodramatic song ...

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

Same. It's sublimely romantic.

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Wonderful the drama/sadness as he sings"the bridge it sighs!"

[@rubenroman5663]

Here as I sit At this empty café Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It's only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow Now, only sorrow No tomorrow There's no today for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge, it sighs I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again There's no more time for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterdays Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita Tous ces moments Perdus dans l'enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous Pour nous il n'y a rien A partager Sauf le passé Tous ces moments Perdus dans l'enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais

[@fredrickburlakoff6532]

A perfect song, a damn classic.

[@grahamhall8235]

Ferry and McKay at their very best. Magnifique!

[@giuseppeplaitano1177]

Every time I listen this song,from 50 years,is the same emotion,so strong...Excuse me for my bad english

[@SKaschek]

What a great hymn ! Long live EUROPE ! Thank you Bryan Ferry ! Thank you Andy Mackay! Thank you Roxy Music !

[@ManxThor]

This was the Manifesto Tour that Roxy performed after a 3 year hiatus. I saw them at De Montfort Hall in Leicester. Funny story, a fan at the front stole Bryan's watch when he reached into the crowd! He did get it back after a couple of minutes though!

[@christop997]

A few solo tours ago also at De montfort Hall Leicester , a girl in the audience rushed on stage from the wings and.. snogged him... at the end of Boys and Girls I think. Clearly surprised him but he handled it well. Don't think she nicked anything? We better be careful he will will stop wanting to come to Leicester!

[@PepperWhite62]

I saw this tour in 1979 in Cleveland, Ohio. BF was super cool in his red suit. For the encore he came out without his jacket,smoking..... It seems like yesterday. I wish I knew now what I didn't know then ..... .

[@magnussturesson1722]

Usually Ferry always entered without jacket with a cigarette on the encores!

[@gregflanagan1723]

Same show in Cleveland. Roxy Music loved Cleveland.

[@janbehaeghel1518]

One of Ferry's best ever...

[@Oscar_Charlie_Delta]

One of many.

[@roberthudson3571]

My all time hero. He has to be the coolest rock star ever!!! What a band. All at the peak of their powers!!!

[@janejohnstone5795]

Sooo.....unusual, different, unique and fascinating...and stylish 😎... ......

[@johnmcdonagh4235]

I was there 58 now what happy days memories "VIVA ROXY MUSIC"

[@elleng222]

Supposedly this song was written tongue in cheek about the Eurovision song contests. In any case, Andy McKay is outstanding, as usual.

[@thobiasbimbalski6123]

a lost glory... today's music is lost. Empty.

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

This band had some of the most innovative & artsy driven members of all time with Eno, Manzanera & Ferry. Paul Thompson was the most distinctive drummer along with Bonham with rhythms unsurpassed Viva Roxy Music, you'll never be forgotten. My mother loved Roxy Music & psalm so much it was played at her funeral.

[@48MAthel]

He sings in English Spanish and French.. great song

[@mariamartin94]

That was Latin, not Spanish🙂

[@hanseichenwald]

One of the greatest songs ever

[@sabinescheer7803]

Oh my god……. That voice!! ❤

[@SapphireKnoxx]

God I love him... His face, his emotion when he sings just envelopes me.... Love you Bryan... You are a goddamn marvel to modern science :)

[@dhthompson]

...My gondola glides, and the bridge... it sighs... Beautiful, just simply beautiful. I love this song.

[@sunrisepropertythai]

I was there, age 17 at the time! "takes me right back, when we were young". The concert was recorded by Granada TV - I'm hoping to find the full concert recording on the internet one of these days so I can reminisce some more.

[@andrewcarson5850]

Ha! Granada tv. Ow, just felt a couple of decades land.

[@ynyslochtyn]

Great performance with band at full strength

[@JaveDMode]

What an excellent performance!

[@rantingsw3de]

Truly sublime.

[@royshome]

Still so musically powerful and so so well sung. What a fantastic live show it was. Saw them twice. Mother of pearl has to follow this - so beautiful. And Brian Ferry always ready to share the spotlight. Up with the all-time greats even now.

[@saskiawells9472]

These were the days how good is he l worship him knew every song thanks Roxy Music x

[@paulwaring3871]

Wow and some - Best Roxy Single by a Measured Mile

[@chacondremaus5168]

Amazing performance!

[@gilleslagache3879]

Une des plus belles chansons jamais écrite qui vous prends aux tripes et la fin en français en plus Brian Ferry et Brian Eno

[@elli3023]

Как же я люблю эту песню ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@judymasinelli9855]

❤❤❤Roxy Music! Timeless, Beautiful song.

[@0rchy]

I was there to witness the great Roxy comeback

[@friends55ful]

And when the Roxy comeback was done the solo tours starts , I saw Both !!!

[@TonyTickle]

I was at this gig!

[@frankcalisi7637]

This song should be played in memory of the victims of the recent Paris tragedy

[@Serenoj69]

+frank calisi May be it should be played for all people that were killed in brutal ways? Like people dying in Beirut prior to those attacks in Paris, like the many Iraki's that died at the end of stateterrorists like our own forces in Europe and America? I have come across this confining of a tragedy to those we consider close to us, which is understandable but it comes with the completely neglecting what happens elsewhere. And in particular those who are killed by our own gouvernments especially. A blind eye...Very nice song by Roxy btw.

[@makanekmalek]

Maybe he was pointing to the name of the song. You PC robot you.

[@ouii8]

This song should have been played non-stop during the Brexit vote

[@kndheart77]

ouii8 sanity speaks

[@Retroscoop]

Jamaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ai ai ai ais :0) Complete with Jacques Brel mimics, and still very very Ferry-ish...

[@mjp6851]

Love them and this song - saw them in 1975 in Boston. Just saw them again in Boston, 2022. FABULOUS!

[@neilanthony1331]

Check out the footage of this song as performed on Roxy Music's 2001 world tour. The piano intro provided by Colin Good is really something else.

[@kymodriscoll7759]

My only love ❤

[@MrBradysteve]

Nothing is there for us to share... No present, no future; only the shell of yesterday.

[@ewignichjesehn]

europe, don´t give up.

[@darrenmcgorrin4673]

Fantastic song and group very talented and original

[@andromedapersea4792]

Quel moment suave ! La perfection Bryan la Belgique touch

[@andromedapersea4792]

Quel moment suave ! La perfection Bryan ! La Belgique

[@Retroscoop]

The mimics (showing his teeth) and the French, oops, Ferry adding a spoonful of Jacques Brel to his live show... Well, no, just teasing, it's a solid performance, and things only got better with the years, just like some wines.

[@elieattie]

great version

[@ianwyse4354]

Great song !

[@andromedapersea4792]

La classe et la perfection Bryan !

[@FABCASTLE]

I'm just about to seing come true one of my biggest dreams: listening to this song in Paris!!!!

[@atabish3031]

Amazing song loved it for Decades

[@steinarmogen3166]

Such a pity they never actually TOOK PART in A Song For Europe. They would surely bring a good entry to the contest

[@michaelhalsall5684]

I love the fact that the song is sung in several languages unlike the Eurovision Song where the contestants seem to all sing in English!

[@rosaliemcc]

Beautiful sax playing Andy

[@gavrosexterminator]

I am just crying listening

[@thobiasbimbalski6123]

A M A Z I N G !!!

[@mixolydian]

I N C R E D I B L E !!!

[@bencolemanart]

It surprises me watching these live videos how much Stuart Staples of the Tindersticks sounds like Ferry singing in his lower register. First time that has occurred to me after listening to both bands for decades.

[@GrahamHarvey-g7x]

Roxy were terrific from the early 70s art rock period right throught the more pop years up to there final release avalon . Class act, great musicians, totally original singer in Ferry, no band came close to them, great memories of them, saw them live a few times, they were fantastic

[@ChefDeenoh]

Andy rocks

[@user-fk4cq4vx9e]

One of most stunning things Roxy *!*

[@pauljarvis6505]

saw them in 1973 backed by sharks in colston hall bristol superb

[@raijalaitinen7419]

THANKS!!!

[@planetmusicsamos]

WOW !!!!! words cannot express what i feel ....

[@Karingal99]

Brilliant !!

[@quentincrisp6933]

Sick! Sublime! Saw this tour in '79 at the Boston Orpheum Theatre and my jaw dropped. They opened a whole new world to me and has been the soundtrack of my life! Thank you for the upload!

[@evamaria160]

I cannot desrcribe my Feelings. I was Roxy Music fan - .lost without His Lyics and his heavenly voice - an he look quite good!

[@fredyantoniot]

This is a great hymn for europe ❤ awesome MASTERPIECE by Brian Ferry and his band ROXY MUSIC 😢

[@MrSebboxxx]

grossartig roxy music - geniephase :-)

[@dominicmcloughlin2341]

Possibly the best song I’ve ever heard. But I would say that having been a Roxy Music fan from the the age of 14 when Manifesto got me listening to all the previous material. Thanks for great music guys !

[@stefanmuller7991]

Geiles Lied, gerade empfohlen bekommen und genossen 😃😃😃😃

[@mixolydian]

Bryan was going for Sacha Distel's slightly disturbed brother, here - and I think he pulled it off.

[@peskypesky]

absolut perfection

[@ssballs]

If you can say that after hearing 1 line of the whole couplet,what a genius you are.He skipped the whole thing for French.

[@MrJamesLongstreet]

I prefer their live performance of this song at the Apollo in 2001.

[@jamesbowen8960]

Oh yeah! Especially great about that version is the intro of Colin Good's splendid piano. Hauntingly beautiful!! We have similar tastes in music, I totally relate!

[@christop997]

Watched back to back , difficult to say which is best both quite unique

[@dap149b]

One of my favourites Roxy tracks, but not sure about the Vulcan eyebrows.🤔🤪😁

[@lakefield2112]

perfection - thank you for posting

[@johnmasterman]

This made Roxy Music

[@draculavulvawitch6082]

Yeah.....means " yesterday "......just noticed.

[@artfulH]

Anthony Price suit and blusher. Go Bryan.

[@michelamaiorano372]

I love the Song i Los t. !!!!!

[@dhthompson]

...and the Bridge; it sighs

[@teogrigori]

Μεγαλείο, μελαγχολία, μελωδία. Τόσο αγαπημένο.

[@bullwinkle57]

This song seems like it should be from a French film, where Yves Montand kicks a stone along a path by the Seine, ruminating on a lost love...

[@FrankJmClarke]

Gary Tibbs does well, the bass is unusually forward in the mix.

[@WhatIsDeafIsDead76]

While my saxophone gently weeps....

[@reginatrif]

it makes me so sad...

[@neithernor9]

Young then, but nostalgic already knowing that "tous ces moments prévus d'enchantements qui ne viendront jamais ho jamais, jamais" and they NEVER came indeed in URA PEE !

[@jmharrison51]

lazspk - That was indeed one of them :-)

[@constantinostriantafillou6941]

oh my god

[@garylongden]

The last album bearing the hand of Brian Eno, but without him on any of the recordings.

[@artrock5741]

Don't downplay Jobson's incredible contribution to Roxy. One of music's true geniuses. Only 18 when he arranged this song. Eno had nothing to do with it.

[@ruben1956]

Jamais!

[@legallyblondeayr]

@nightowlhunter2 I was so touched to read your comment and totally agree with your opinion. Roxy Music are without doubt one of the greatest bands ever This song makes me want to cry it is just so lovely and hearing them play it live is amazing. Viva Roxy Music

[@seriously0001]

: ) No, i was referring to the album version.. i know it by hearth. It wasn't a criticism, definitely my fave song from Stranded and by Roxy Music.

[@PlayItSave]

Vienna/ Austria/ Europe.

[@gillianmitchelle6250]

Glasgow Apollo 79 hello cantina

[@markroberts868]

My home town of Glasgow this was recorded in the apollo theatre which they closed, , it should be a musical museum for all the bands that played there.

[@beneveldenco]

[@neilmacpherson6583]

I love the song..always have......and I don’t mind the vocals but they are a bit rough in places..but hey I love Newman and Cohen....

[@EclecticWarrior]

how fucking cool is the ferry.at this time...../.arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
