Never thought of Merlot wine that way.  Nice phrase.

It transports in an introspective way.  That is not everybody's cup of tea but I gave this a 9 a long time ago. So....

Mr Ferry's voice has sure decayed.  This warbly piece of crap is a 2 in my books.

Only the cover content keeps it off the mat!

Excuse me, but molasses in January is more up-tempo than this—I thought it would never end! (Of course, I was exercising at the time, which can make time seem to stand still unless the music has energy.)

 Bryan at his best, smooth low key and mellow.

To some that means "dull"

His music is a dark merlot dreamy texture.

Not everyone likes that. I do.

A genuine piece o'shite. It grew ever more annoying until it became reminiscent of "MacArthur Park", the documented Worst Radio Hit of All Times. It could be a contender.

I love Bryan Ferry's voice but there is A LOT of dull dull filler in this song.

Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hide

You may not enjoy this music, but these lyrics ring true for me — and, I suspect, many others

Too long. I like it but his voice is very different now, sounds like he lost his range (which happens) but it gives it a sad, desperate feel which is cool. But just goes on, doesn't build into anything.

I really love Roxy and most of BF's solo efforts but simply have not appreciated this overall effort ... yet...

Such a close replica of sounds on the wonderful "Boys and Girls" - not bad at all.
