Perhaps he is a "conservative" in the sense of conserving the environment.
 
No - conservative is sort of like your Republicans

You probably don't like my politics either, but can I still listen?  Gosh thanks.

Great textures and layers to this song, and the harmonica at the end is nice. Cool song.

I think Bryan Ferry has had one of the more interesting careers in music and Frantic is an excellent album.  This song is an instant classic — it could have been recorded in the '70s, but it still doesn't sounded dated.  That's not easy to pull off.

He's a conservative?  Fantastic!  I thought there was something I liked about him.  How refreshing to discover that someone who's music you've been fond of is not a liberal.

Kind of like watching Megan Kelly on Fox news.

Yea, I'm with you on that though I really like the Nug's stuff from the 70's.

I came in here to rate this a 2, and then saw that I had already done so. I guess my opinion hasn't changed.

How nice to hear just the first few notes and know that a treat was in store. Be nice to hear some of the Dylan covers too.

An interesting way to create a song, and it really works. Start with a drum machine and repetitive electronica, and then add one organic element, a voice. It's pretty cool.

Why beat on poor Casio? When I was young, far ante-Casio, I got a recorder. Couldn't play worth a lick, but it did introduce me to music and what it takes to make it. Many youngsters got that sense from a Casio. I think that just the act of trying to perform or create music gives folks a much better appreciation of hearing music.


Well said. Recorder introduced me to music as well. Fortunately I mastered this instrument and then moved on to Clarinet. Knowledge of playing music broadens one's appreciation of music, musicians, life.

Oh, and Brian Ferry is Fantastic!
As is this song. Nice, calming melody.

B. Ferry always makes me think of my best friend in high school: she had such a crush on him!! Now she's an old married lady, living in suburban Atlanta. I still adore her. And the memories.

This is the first song I've heard on RP that I really don't like.His sheep's baa vibrato gives me the creeps.
Please look out for Frankie Miller's glorious version of Jealous Guy.
