[001430138]

at last i finally found this music that i've been looking for many years. i first heard this way back in 1979 when i was in Japan. i have recorded it on a tape but it was so bad that when i have transfered it on cd it's not so good. thank you for this, it really touch me whenever i played this. bring back so many memories, i can put this now on my mp3.

[Jagged85]

I just heard Giorgio Moroder's "Take My Breath Away" (1986) from the movie Top Gun... and I can't help but think that it must have borrowed heavily from Biddu's "Couldn't We Be Friends" (1975).

I wouldn't be surprised if it were, since Biddu and Moroder have borrowed from each other before, like Moroder's " Kung Fu's Back Again" from Biddu's "Kung Fu Fighting", or Biddu's "Boom Boom" from Moroder's "I Feel Love".

man,this reminds me of my college days spent w/ friends having pingpong,cards,puzzles etc.games at nighttimes and this tune was usually a sign-off song fr one FM sta so we'd know how late in the night it is getting.wala na ring mge jeep pauwi so stay the night na kami lahat sa apartment na yun..ang gulooo pero oks lang sa mga hosts hehehe kahit pa ang lakas namin sa tsibug...those were good times w/c we've all shared w/ this tune in the background..coming fr an old sanyo radio.cant beat that now

[brianpenacruz]

You know, this is my BED or Background music in my radio show.... thanks for putting it here.

[whinston24]

At last now I know the title of this music. I really love it since I was in college, I first heard it from Love radio, they play it every 10pm but don't know the title then, and then I also hear it in AM station so thank you Kuya Lary for playing this song and airing the title. Its Great. It remembers my ex best friend.......

[rafa6328]

Corria 1976 cuando en la estación Radio 1 de México D.F. a las 6:00 P.M. recitaban poemas y como musica de fondo esta canción, después, tocaban una canción romantica en ingles de ese tiempo, se escuhaba maravillosa con la introducción, eso ahora ya no existe..........Lastima!!!

[brianpenacruz]

[chkjns]

A man in Arizona reliving the music of his youth, the sound of Brasilian bossa nova conducted by a man from Karnataka,India living in England. Beautiful music binds the world, transcending all our differences.

I miss this piece since my college days in1981 Malaysia when i first heard it. This piece is so peaceful and calm to my ears.. so soothing..

[centurian55428]

I will agree. if you close your eyes, listen, and let your mind wounder. you will posibly find the answeers to many unanswered questions. beautifull errangment.

[majoretteguy]

Wow, I first heard this song in 1990 when I found a copy of the Biddu album in Quiapo. Thanks !
