Soooo melodic reggae, the angelic voice, and the synthesizer. Great combination and result, and still great after 25 years!!!

[millhill46]

This song brings nice memories back to me.

[philster611]

The chord arrangement of this song are to die for....... Any wonder Miles Davis chose one of their songs..... Just don't hear chord arrmangements like this anymore..........

[lewisner]

I used to play this all the time on the video jukebox in the Red Lion in Windmill Street off Piccadilly Circus. Happy days.

[themanmaschine]

I first saw this on TOTP in May 1985, cool song!

[MrTinylight]

Very rare, nothing like this anymore. A reminder of the brighter times in life. Excellent.

[PaoloVeneziano1958]

Deconstruction meets a reggae beat and the finest pop vocalist of erm...as long as I can think = Scritti Politti. There's nothing finer.

And did it make one think how we use the "word girl" and what it means and signifies, girlfriend?

[oceancoloursubsea]

Brilliant! Just brilliant!!



[NEILZULU1]

Superb tune.

[ChasBeauregarde]

"Absolute in principle/to make your heart invincible."

[JaredLeesMom]

OMG!!! Thanks soooooooooo much for posting this video. Ive been looking FOREVER!!! I LOVE GREEN!! Thanks again. You rock babe!!!

[peterikarlstad]

Normally, I don´t listen to this kind of "glossy" and "smooth" music, but Scritti really is something else. The sound is meticuously arranged down to the tenth of a second. It´s so cleverly and well done. Gotta check out their later albums as well...

[skierpage]

@peterikarlstad Tenth of a second?! Ha, more like milliseconds. There's a great quote somewhere about how Green and Gamson had the microscopes turned up to 10× for "Cupid & Psyche 85", and then went to 100× (microseconds?) for "Provision". Provision is so polished as to be somewhat airless in parts, but on C&P85 they are just so damn excited to be perfecting their ideas. Also, read the lyrics, they're deeper than smooth.

[PawelLopatka]

magic! thank you.

[TheKunig]

Greens voice is like swallowing honey and marigolds

[PM1970]

@aeronuk1 Me too!! Such a great song!!
