A pair of glasses, a pension and a guitar, I think I'm sorted, well apart form the tallent that is. But what the hell, he's not stopping, so we shouldn't either
@spudcustardx1 When I saw him live five times throu the 70's I always thought he was singing that line from "All the Young Dudes' about the guy in the glasses to me. Still love the man and his music: hope to somehow catch him on his North American Tour on at present. And I got my new guitar this past week just to play songs like this: Thank You Mr Hunter.
Amazing song. Hunter is friggin 70 years old and can still write amazing stuff. "There's too much information, but not enough to go on...." He's a goddam genius.
Oh yeah, nice video by the way. Sitting here watching it on the net makes the song's message seem rather dated though...his latest has a more stripped back folky sound and is perhaps better...makes this song seem a tad over produced...but the video would work just as well with a more raw recording of the song and it is amazing. Thanks.
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY! I like to flirt and pose..and sometimes i like to get WILD! how? ..he he..come in video and youll see:-)) maybe u can teach me something..or maybe i will ! come visit me at _ MeetYourFling (.COM) _ my user-id there is perri-qtpj chat soon on cam :-) gqepvx
Fantastic! Ian has always been a great voice and his ability to make words into images has been very well translated in this animation. I stand and applaud!
I have to admit being DEAD WRONG when I heard Ian had new music out - I thought for sure it was going to be boring, insipid music from an over-the-hill, uninspired musician.
Nice to see that a hero of my yputh is still relevant today as he always was No longer a young dude out on a Saturday gig but a granddad and still loving it
Terrific song & video from one of my all time favorite artists. Had the opportunity to meet him during the Rant tour(in Allentown,PA). A unbelievably cool guy.....hope he gets his due acclaim. Will be trying to catch him in Philly next month.
Just fantastic work ...heard this played live last week and every bit as good ... fantastic ...sounds much like Artful Dodger and Rant work ..excellent ...thank you!
this guys one of the greatest songwriters in the world ,and live he is amazing,with an unbelievable selection of musicians working with him.yet he still struggles for attention in a record industrie driven by ageism
As much as this deserves to be on VH1 or the like, I'm afraid this will be the only place to see it. As a 35-year fan of the man's work, he's never gotten the credit he richly deserves. Pity.
My fav track off the album - and a really great video - hope it picks up some plays on things like MTV - It's just too good not to be heard..Looking forward to part two of the tour next month
Well, this fantastic song finally has a video. Very nicely done. I hope the people on this round world finally figure out what a fantastic singer/songwriter and yes musician. Mr. Ian Hunter Patterson has turned out to be.
Fucking incredible song...
