This was my first ever single which I bought, and only now, over 30 years on, I realise that this track has made me a fan for all things bombastic, in a minor key, epic, etc. etc. I have to own up that my first favourite was the minor key version of Doctor Zhivago. This film track has been the seed to all my further musical favourites , I presume. So easy for the shrinks/psychs to fathom, I presume.
Heb ten tijde dat dit in de top 40 stond er eens een hele nacht naar zitten luisteren, ik kon er niet genoeg van krijgen, en nog steeds wil ik absolute stilte rondom mij als ik deze song beluister...
Als kind was ik helemaal aan de grond genageld...Ik kende wel "come up and see me" van Toppop en de radio..Maar dit nummer inderdaad iets wat ik niet kon bevatten dat bij Steve Harley vandaan kwam...
i dont get whats so great about it the words are just retarded i mean wtf is a girl gotta do with some one calling him sebastian? what does he wanna say from this song?? what the hell! his like oh your mine and your so beatiful then some one calls him sebastian wow great what if some one called him jeff or leon ??!? whats a name gotta do with a girl his inlove with?!?? cant belive i was named after this song -.-
@Bassta986 You're wrong.This song isn't just about a boy who is love with a girl.It has multiple meanings.This song is also the description of an entire society.It implies that human beings don't have choices and are easily affected by others.Even our names are decided by other people.This song describes love, sadness, compromise,corruption of people because of the existence of a dog eat dog world, desperation of something which is far away.You just have to see beyond the lyrics.( :
Has anyone got a copy of this masterpiece recorded live from Hammersmith Odeon in April 1975.This was used as the flip side to the single Mr Raffles.Thanks in advance.
Takes me back to the days of Radio Caroline when everyone had this track in their top 30
