I remember buying this album back in 74 and it still sounds as great as when i first listened to it. Psalm is brilliant and so is this live version. Always loved Roxy, they were so unique... Never to be repeated.

You can just hear the gospel church choir singing this on a hot sultry Mississippi summer Sunday morning.

[@captivatedheartsart]

Full Lyrics: Try on your love Like a new dress The fit and the cut Your friends to impress Try on your smile, Square on your face Showing affection Should be no disgrace Try out your God Hope He will send Kindness from strangers On whom you depend Try on His coat A mantle most fine Myriad colors His harmony-thine Believe in me Once seemed a good line Now belief in Jesus Is faith more sublime Head in the clouds But I can't see the Lord Short of perfection I'll try to be good I'll stand at His gate I'll wait for His sign Then I'll walk in His garden When it's my time Drink from His cup Hush now don't you cry His quiet waters Will never, never run dry Nearing death's vale He's here by my side He leads me to paradise A mountain so high Don't be afraid Just treasure His word Singing His praises I know that I'll be heard He's gonna take you by the hand He's gonna make you feel so good Open up your eyes And then you'll see all that you should Forget all your troubles You will feel no pain He's all that you need He's your everything When I'm feeling all at sea Deliverance is that distant shore I will not be worried Someday His house will be my home For ever more

This one took a long time to grow on me, I had the album when it first came out but did not care for this song back then. I tended to like their fast paced songs only back then. This is now one of my favorites of theirs. My taste in music has matured as I've gotten older.

[@regretto]

Oh my God what a performance. One of their best songs, very underrated

[@johnenglish929]

There is so much rubbish written about artists and records being underrated. Who, listening to this,has underrated it?

[@regretto]

@@johnenglish929 answering your question: the public, obviously. songs' destiny is usually defined by so many factors of the industry. contemporaries often fail to recognise a great song. i would give two examples that i like from bowies catalogue: man who sold the world and moonage daydream. the former was an obscure forgotten number elevated by cobains mtv unplugged performance and is now considered one of bowies finest songs. the latter was initially considered just one the ziggys fine louder rockers, never was released as a single, but 50 years after release, being vastly covered, appearing in numerous soundtracks, it has become the second most popular song on the album after starman. i think that psalm is incredible and deserves more recognition. hopefully this will happen as it did with mother of pearl. but who knows. take care! cheers from Russia!

[@MrSebboxxx]

in my opinion it never was underrated - the first three albums of RM were amazing ...

This is the first time I've heard/seen this, as I only got into music/hi-fi perhaps 5 years later & am now hungry to fill the void of what I'd previously been ignorant of. Bryan is my all-time favourite artist. He exudes class and is uniquely talented/creative & for years, has respected/enjoyed his fellow musicians by letting them take centre stage to showcase their amazing talents. 👍❤

Andy MacKay did improve over the years. He’s actually a great musician. This performance might not be the best example. Maybe the mix was too much on the sax. But what a great moment captured.

[@krollpeter]

On all the first 4 albums together there are not more than 2, 3 not so good pieces. They are all so good that it is hard to say which is the best. But there are some songs that stick out far above, and If There is Something is one of them. The emotional way he sung at this time was utter brilliance. But I love also the bass and the drums. Gorgeous.

[@kzinful]

All of those years ago putting on this album for the first time and I hear this. It's been a quiet gulity pleasure ( again, over the years ) of trying to assess what Bryan was truly reaching for in this song, after all This is Bryan Ferry. Now, please don't be offended, I have long ago left as a beliver to, but this song still moves me. Viva La Roxy!!
