Roxy Music - More Than This (TOTP 1982)

[@zolemica]

At age 62, I miss being the young woman I was in the 80s. However, there's no better time machine than music, especially music like this.

[@richardsylvanus2717]

Our twenties were magical times for sure

[@PaulBeiser]

Well said!

[@alhi6240]

Yes! met my future wife in a club, Roxy Music playing....

[@mploco183]

Smoke a joint it's ok.

[@ianlamb2123]

62 is not old .

[@adamwarlock5286]

Bryan Ferry. What a brilliant song and the stunning achievement of being The only man to make the bow tie look cool.

[@wardka]

Along with Bill Nye maybe.

[@charlesyates4230]

and Fozzie Bear

[@jhatter67]

Prof. Heinz Wolff?

[@Walmers27]

In fairness to Bryan, there is not much he could not make cool. One of the most stylish men.

[@tomilheirobarbalho6117]

Sweet memories ❤❤❤

1982. I was 21 years old. What a beautiful time to be young.

[@davemathews7890]

What a beautiful time to be Brian Ferry.

Me Too

[@tomilheirobarbalho6117]

In 1983 I was only 12 years old!!! I didn’t understand what it was like to feel good about listening to a song but it stuck in my heart and today I feel that emotion loudly…. So life became lighter!!!! Yesterday is always today!!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@pusuper1pusuper130]

Just hearing this brings calm to my mind and a wishing of better days gone. A classic in every respect.

[@MusicasEletras5022]

Verdade ❤

[@Sirpippo]

Everytime I hear this song I remember loves gone and lost . It make me feel nostalgic of the ‘80.

[@jeanniewisto6252]

Yes, "fallen leaves in the night." Powerful imagery.

[@jordis5789]

Most 80s song ever made

[@jaystrata.]

same here, my dad used to do his dance to me as I looked on bemused, he's gone now and this makes me cry

[@mebelle473]

❤❤

[@StevenBlades-d4k]

Best song ever fab singer lots of memories back then

[@siezard4663]

I was born in 82 and even though this song had no part in my childhood it still grants me nostalgic pleasure. I think it's funny that it's now one of my favourite songs at 41 years old.

[@miguelpaul1164]

I'm 81 and I heard this and more on the radio.

[@kerriesavage2943]

this song makes me feel nostalgic. this was the best thing about the 80s . the music was so diverse. .

[@annecollins1470]

Ethereal.

[@SuperTed19021]

*Agreed!* But to me personally, the 70s was the best decade. The 60s and 80s come close though. I particularly love 1982 (the year this was from).

[@thereselastname9197]

I was 7 when this song came out.....the 80s had the best music! Bryan Adams, Duran Duran, 80s Rock bands, Def Leppard.....dance it was awesome....then everything went downhill from there

[@wiseonwords]

Tony bloody Levin is everywhere! He's played with all of the best bands from the 80s.

[@trottytravolta46]

Happy birthday brian,stay healthy ❤

[@alexnejako777]

The whole album is great . Needs to be listened to in track order

[@snedgers8748]

[@helenesteinberg7189]

Bryan Ferry is a cool classy singer who has contributed so very much to music!

[@AlexTechWiz]

Oh the 80's! "More than this" later on. Let the captivating melodies of the 80s weave into the fabric of our minds and souls, becoming an eternal symphony that inspires us to dance through the rhythm of life. Allow the timeless tunes of that era to ignite the flame of creativity within, echoing the spirit of a vibrant and unforgettable era. Embrace the power of the music that transcends time, and let it be a source of inspiration that fuels our dreams and aspirations, creating a soundtrack for the extraordinary journey of our lives.

[@ERIC-65]

Hearing this again after many years , actually made me cry once ! Many years ago , by now already . I'm 58 soon , but this song is younger .

[@stevesmyth4982]

A posse of us in a minibus on the way to the Stonehenge free festival in 1984 - the driver played the Roxy Music Avalon cassette and wrapped in a wet towel and stuffed into the roofrack was a flagon of Festival Ale. It was my fourth and last time at the Stonehenge free festival and hearing this brings back so many memories of the event. The 80's were so different from what we have now, we had more freedom, people were nicer, music was better, even polticians were better though at the time we despised Thatcher.

[@runaroundsoup]

this song... gets me every time! music from another world

[@ERIC-65]

Alienating kinda something ! Sooo much better than the rest of all of us .

[@mabinilink9736]

This is one song that you love to sing the verses than the chorus. Totally love it.

So many memories of great times a few bad , and all the friends at that time, sadly a few have gone , but still have them in memories. This is such a classic Roxy song for sure , like Damce away and Avalon too.

[@sabinescheer7803]

Simply iconic in every way…. love him so much ❤

[@jaystrata.]

This song just hits me differently. I was pretty immune to it at the time it was out, my dad loved it though. It really hits me deeply now. It's so Intelligent and emotional.

[@julioaguilar5644]

💕 Love This 💝 Song~

[@30Irwin]

Crazy to spot Tony Levin 'playing' bass here, as he did not play on Avalon. He did play on Boys & Girls' Slave to Love 3 years later. Who hasn't he played with?!! Dude must be 1 degree of separation from everybody in the music industry back to the '70s'; what a legend.

[@marks497]

Ha! Was just thinking the same thing 😂 Guys a legend 👌🏻

[@laurentquintana262]

And Phil Gould on drums ( Level 42 )

Man.. how good i felt back then during listening to this

[@PVT_Barry]

It was nice to be alive then, an era never to be replicated (including music).

All these years and I never knew. What a fantastic drummer he is. The best years of Level 42 by far. Not easy to find drummers like Phil Gould who possess naturally the hardest part of drumming there is to learn: Feel. Some more “ technical “ drummers may have followed him but he was an integral part of the sound of Level 42, which they never recovered.

They’re mining to the recorded track. Was for ever a sore point with many bands on this show that wanted to play live. But the BBC very rarely allowed it. Some bands, big enough to get away with it, used to deliberately play or mess about out of time with the track to show their displeasure at having to lip sync the track.
