  • this song is magnificently magical.

  • roxy music is the actual artist?

  • Daniel Craig - Flashbacks of a Fool

    Virginia Plain is a great song too! =)

  • when music and art combine...

  • Mr Brian Ferry has the most wonderful voice. I have been a fan for many many years of the cutting edge stuff that Roxy Music have done. I grew up listening to them. Their music in some way touches your soul like few artists can do

  • epic just epic

  • flsbacks of a fool and the version of this in that film is uterly fantastic thank you roxy, amd i swear that film was taken from part of my life.

  • this shit is a fuckin masterpiece!

  • I like when a young Daniel Craig bangs the milf. She was fit.

  • Comment removed

  • "flashbacks of a fool" sent me to this song

  • great movie and a great piece of music

  • A thousand miles ? thats just too far !

  • Wow, I came to listen to Roxy Music.

  • @katoklzmk If you came to listen to Roxy Music then why did you comment?

  • This track is The Daddy of all Roxy Music tracks. Anybody listening to it for the first time should fall to their knees and worship, whoever it is they worship, and give thanks for this song!!

  • makes u wanna go learn the saxophone...

  • this is one of the songs with more feeling that I've ever heard ... man, it's so depressing: (

  • Perfect, Wonderful songs never dies

  • Rick, i am 36 and also from the netherlands. I really love this song, play it al the time

  • what a great sacs not to many records have these real skills

  • Daneil craig send me here...

  • @chicksdigsme He was hot in that film.. :-)

  • @Graphicals he needs to quit being 007 he dosent suit the role.no offence but his bond films should be like roger moore adding funny lines & charm in to it like brosnan.

  • @chicksdigsme He is a good Bond. He is a MODERN Bond. You think it's as easy as Connery or Moore make it look? Probably not. He actually looks like he is trying to dodge bullets they just walk all suave like and shoot the bad guys with poise and style. Don't get me wrong I love the older films a lot more but I dislike how people hate on him.

  • @CampbellsShutup the more i watch casino royale & quantum of solace i try very hard to enjoy but always end up thinking these are just action films entertaining but where was bond LOL..i hope they dont mess with skyfall 2012 ..btw i love timothy dalton james bond he was highly underrated but i love livind day lights & licence to kill...craig gets overpraised which is bad.

  • @chicksdigsme I came here cause of Flashbacks of a Fool. I loved that movie. One of the best of Craig's movies I have seen. It changed my outlook on life, love, and the way I treat people. Right now I am trying to make others life better but it's not going well. So fucked in money :/

  • @CampbellsShutup go to imdb & see some reviews alot of people dont like this film..the rap song in the end was so funny fuck that fuck that fuck this LOL..

    i bought a single dvd named best of daneil craig & this one was one of the films..

  • @CampbellsShutup actually 5 of them but i like defience more

  • @chicksdigsme shows how much you know about bond, daniel craig is what ian fleming wanted James Bond to be like, much darker and sinister, not cheesy like shitty roger moore

  • @arsepirate90 sorry to say this but the real ian fleming james bond is timothy dalton

  • @chicksdigsme surely you can see some similarities between craig and dalton?

  • @arsepirate90 craig is like jason bourne(matt damon) & steven segal..where dalton was badass without showing too much craziness & killing everyone .craig is getting bad scripts & lees character development .they added too much voilence in it & thats why many people are loving it..but brutality is not a bond characteristic .dont get me wrong i have craig bond films ..i like it as its full of action

  • Is brian ferry singing about his parents ~?

  • 1 million views. And throroughly well-deserved. ♥

  • Here's an idea-considering that this album is pretty much timelessly, ahead of it's time,,er,.uhm'..wouldnt you think that since everyone in RM is STILL fucking alive that there would be no harm in diggin' up Eno, bring in E.J.and Wetton .and tour the ORIGINAL Roxy?-and make it special to the brilliant 1st 5 albums?-it sure as heck isn't a step backwards when the music still blows EVERYTHING today out of the fucking water..what the hell else you guy's doing?-LET'S GO!

  • @buschnic61 Ferry, Eno, Rik Kenton, Paul Thompson, Phil Manzanera and Andy McKay - I think E.J. arrived later

  • the early Roxy Music, with i never liked it 30 years bevore, but now ;-)

  • ModifiedEvelyn is simply seeking attention. Ignore it, it will go away....

  • @ModifiedEvelyn You obviously hate men, so just go eat a fat smelly crack and get off of this subject!

  • @ModifiedEvelyn I have met Elvis before and he was as gracious as can be, maybe you have the problem?

  • @ModifiedEvelyn If you cannot admit how talented Elvis is then you are a complete idiot! Should I like Bryan any less because he was in love with that airheaded twit Jerry Hall? My three favorites have been Roxy, the Jam and Elvis for a long time so you can screw off!

  • @ModifiedEvelyn You are a dick!

  • 27 people couldn't find piece of mind.

  • krache ne buvae

  • @ModifiedEvelyn A few years after Roxy came, Elvis Costello started his career with six amazing albums. The Clash also started with five straight winners. But in their shared heyday, Bowie and Roxy Music ruled the glam scene in terms of talent and style.

    Lots of people overlook Roxy Music even though they were one of the most brilliant bands of all time. Their sound was a decade ahead of it's time. Their music and Eno's own solo work changed the trajectory of rock years after they debuted.

  • i love this song and one of my favorites movies is flashbacks of a fool

  • Buy the albums!!!! Amazing!!!!

  • sorry to comment for a 3rd time, I' m just excited that I found this. I seen the movie like almost a year ago, I loved it, then I heard this song, &'nnd had to know what it was, yes I am very late, but I didn' t hear the begining. all this time, I found this song. I just thought it wasn' t it because the first 2 mins were not in the movie! but I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • oh never mind, now I recongnize it once it gets to 2 minsss, I love this (:

  • okay so I got this song frm Flash backs of a fool, but it wasn' t exactly this song, it was more sadder! maybe I have to listen further, but am I @the right song?

  • @iNayoAndCmpny09 it's this song, the version in the movie is a bit faster, and skipped the first verse.

  • @thetanyawearsprada thank You, so much!

    

  • Comment removed

  • You have to skip to 1:40 for the edit used in the movie. :)

  • One of the best rocksongs evvaahhh......!

  • Thumbs up if you are so cool you knew of Roxy Music and are here to celebrate something so very cool as Roxy Music.

  • @amofromun Back in 1973 I got into Roxy Music after reading about them in Melody Maker. In the states at that time they were not very popular, the same with SAHB. Roxy were just something out of this world to me and still are in many ways.

  • I'd never heard of this song until I watched Flashbacks of a fool... now it's one of my favourite songs ever. I absolutely love it. Roxy Music seem to be a forgotten band, respected but not celebrated like others from the era. One of the most underrated bands and films ever.

  • Not sure this woman was though, she was selected by the photographer... And ultimately became Mrs. Chris Jagger, brother of Jerry Hall's beau.

  • Have to love Ferry's shameless habit of putting his current shag on every album cover (a different woman every time, naturally). Would be revolting from anyone else, but he gets away with it.

  • This song is also in the soundtrack of a Macedonian film called "Upside Down" (or „Превртено“ - „Prevrteno“).

    That film brought me here, it's a beautiful song, i enjoy it very much...

  • Just burst out crying at this 2:00 onwards. I hate the pill...

  • fantastic...

  • I like roses, I like potatoes too - but which is best..........?

  • @zoobeedoo09 hahahaha - made my day with this comment. 

  • @zoobeedoo09 Well..you cant eat roses and potatoes arent fragrant, so.......

  • @ralucagymnast There's only one way to find out..............

  • @zoobeedoo09 Well, you can Eat rose petals...potatoes don't smell pretty, just organic, which is primal and wonderful....

  • @drogheda1966 I think zoobeedoo09 was trying to be funny. The song mentions offering roses and potatoes. I don't think any woman in the world would take a potato over a rose, which is why the comment is funny.

  • Everytime when I'm tired of my weak and difficult life I'm listening to this song. It brings to me a wonderfull memories about my childchood, old friends and love. What a beautiful feeling...

  • Best song of all time.

  • I bought this LP when it came out, on the strength of hearing this song on John Peel's radio show.....to me, it's still the most wonderful evocation of that time, and I maintain that the song is as good today as it's always been.

    What I don't understand is....how can 25 people not love this song?

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know what album this was on? Can' seem to find it.

  • @idrees0304 The first album, self titled.

  • This is the best song ever with distance for me. OMG this is good

  • wtf is flashbacks of a fool?

  • @taffysaur A good film.

  • @taffysaur its the name of the movie where most of the roxy 's songs are played,its a really good movie,you should watch it

  • wot a fuckin voice, dam it , ferry fuckin love ya......u take me rite back mate, thanks for all this years....

  • This is great :)

    

  • oh my god this is so good

  • The film is absolute rubbish apart from the young actors who are brilliant, The last scene is so over acted, where did they learn acting??? sooo tacky. Shame, the adults ruined the film. Middle class English people at itheir worst.

  • @TheTurdmonster What were the last five films you saw and loved?

  • basically, it's a boring track until eno turns up - and it becomes a classic. when eno left, roxy and ferry were establishment pop manure.

  • and the strange thing is they never found her head!

  • @torrentmad Yeah, they reckon a fox got it. Sure, decapitated, we've had a few like that, but losing the head - harsh.

  • Yes the movie bought me here...cant believe it did the same for so many others

  • Yooo I can't believe that girl detonated the bomb though, really. DEAD at that scene.

  • Yes, another Fool, although Roxy Music is a bit before my time. But this is a great track.

  • Thumbs up if you're another nostalgic Fool who is dwelling in Flashbacks because of this beautiful song.

  • Wow, so many people did the same as me last night and watched Flashbacks of a Fool, and were moved in the same way, brilliant film and soundtrack.

    The needing was so moving and really makes you think about your own childhood

  • @gavinellis Yeah . Me to. Im fascinated by the song.

  • yup.. me too, when one of the blokes in my class brought Roxy's first album into school, I just knew it was something very special. Defined my adolescence and our time. Beyond words....

  • great

  • just watched on bbc1, brilliant, now im going to bed and cry.........

  • @laurindoization 'Take me back Ruth...'

  • Same as a few - the film reminded me, oh Sweet Nostalgia, how we love thee!

  • Wow

  • I'm watching Flashbacks of a Fool now, (and isn't it awful....?) and wondered what this song was. Googled the lyrics. I realised that I did know it - but just haven;t listened to the album for yonks! Must be perhaps 30 years! :-o Good to remind myself. Have to get the CD - only got it on vinyl. Funny thing is on the TV it didn't sound like Ferry singing.

  • @PrideofNthLondon I didn't think the film as that bad.

  • 25 people are maniacs

    

  • @hichaminou some people just don't know good music.......

  • Nothing says love like growing potatoes.

  • I've known about this song since I was 16 and I am 17 right now... All of last summer when I stayed away from home I would wake up to this song every morning and it made me feel comfortable although I still wanted to go home the whole time I was away. Either way great song. I had a year to hear to all of Roxy Music's single. Such great artists. I know not to expect to ever seem them on tv but it is still something I wish I could see. Oh well.

  • ...lift-up your feet and put them on the ground,..the trees were higher,..when you were young,..

  • I know this song for 40 years now, still one of the best songs ever made!

  • I true classic.........

  • I'VE JUST CRIED

  • this song is so long but anytime I start to listen to it I have to finish listening to the whole thing. Bryan Ferry was the ultimate eccentric love sick, lounge crooner.

  • This was Kate Moss' wedding song

  • @LostTransition She says it's hers and Jamie's song. He loves Roxy Music.

  • On the Bryan Ferry to heaven lying on my bed, a little stoned, this playing full blast... If there is something.... this is it...

  • Comment removed

  • yes it did tks

  • Thumbs up if flashbacks of a fool brought you here:)

  • "Growing potatoes by the score." Such a classic Bryan Ferry weird-out.

  • it starts up with joy and end up with sadness...

  • Let's hunt down and kill the 25 idiots who disliked this song.

  • Fav moment of this song is 4:40 remember sitting with discman and it sending shivers down my spine every time

  • Early Eno is soooooooo underrated

  • @sipoway Not at all. I love Here Come The Warm Jets and Taking Tiger Mountain

  • this song doesn't start until 1:40

    

  • I don't even know why this song has such an effect on me, I too first heard it when I saw Flashbacks of a Fool as a late night movie a few weeks ago.. makes me really nostalgic and sad, although I'm only 18.

  • can some1 please post a tab of the guitar solo??its so epic

  • @25may1973 well Manzanera Kick Ass

  • Thanks for upload this. Its one of the most beautifull songs I ever listen..thanks.

  • It's incredible. I thought this song couldn't get any better but if you listen to it on vinyl, it's truly the best song. Ever.

  • everybody who likes this song has good and emotional memories to remember.

  • This song kills me...

  • Check out you Tube for the live version of this amazing track from the "Viva" Album its mindblowing...

  • I love this song! I've never heard of this song until i watched Flash Back of a Fool. I'm dedicating this song to my other half.

  • The greatest song!!

    

  • Shake your hair girl with the pony tail tail, takes me right back..... Seeing the film and hearing that song for the first time! Certainly takes me back and the pain of spent youth. I'm sure it did that for many who heard it.. At least we lived eh? :-)

  • Pick up your feet and put them on the ground....

    The Hills are Higher.

    The trees are taller.

    The Grass is greener.

  • @rickbartels98 im from holland tooo haha LANG LEVEN DE GOEDE MUZIEK! EN NIET DE BAGGER VAN NU!

  • I just saw Flashbacks of a Fool, heard this song for the first time. It made me cry, all the stuff about remembering your youth, letting go of the past

    Shake your hair girl with that ponytail

    Takes me right back... when we were young

  • @goldlakemoonshine wasn't that movie breath taking?? It was so under rated and under appreciated!

  • @goldlakemoonshine you have good taste my friend.

  • @goldlakemoonshine u are right . tis movie brought me to search fr tis song. makes me cry

  • @goldlakemoonshine it was amazing..... It brought back my teenage years and made me gulp

  • In fact its Andy Mackay who 'makes' this song.

  • still loving the movie featuring this track...and the wonderful artists involved... I had no idea! blessings.

  • Pure perfection! Amazing! BOW DOWN TO WONDERFUL MUSIC!

  • thissong will bring the revolution

  • I will do thing for you! I will Climb Mountains! I will swim all the oceans blue!

  • My favorite line is: "Threw your precious gifts into the air / watched them fall down / when you were young..." What a BRILLIANT expression of wasting your youth because you couldn't know how fleeting it is. You think you'll be young, energetic and beautiful forever. You thought there'd be a lifetime of magic ahead but you were wrong. It's a sad day when the truth hits you; when you feel the pain of regret over lost chances.

  • So this song starts ouTS= silly-- but i stayed the course--- Cause some one posted to stay tune after 1:40--- so i did--and heAVEN WALKED IN!!-- GIVe THIS SONG=A CHANCE--

  • perhaps my favorite album cover ever

  • For 25 people, there's nothing!

  • Bry Pre-Tonsil op...gotta love that haunting wail..... superb album...gr8 post

  • Great song!

  • the end of this is sooooo stylish

  • When I was a lad I used to scream this song on my gang-mower tractor while mowing many acres. I'm still poked in the tavern to this day over the shennanigans, but never was there a finer day. True Story, Jay Allen Emerson

  • Wonderful song

  • from 0:00 to 6:35 is heaven to me!

  • shake your head girl with the ponytail, takes me right back....

  • If I had to listen to the entire thing form the start just to get to 5:05 it'd be worth it every time: best part of the song

  • i like the first 1:40.

  • I agree with the top post--It's a bit kitschy but after 1:40, God bless Andy Mackay and Eno!

  • ♥ .

  • I had to jack off 3 times to feel like a man again after stumbling on to the gayest band, and btw i never post comment this was a must do. ===gay

  • @XinukeHouston you're the one who just masturbated to this...homo

  • when will i stop listening to this album?....its been nearly 40 years ffs!!!

  • Que viagem !!!

  • one of the best pop songs ever made! The part in the middle is devine!

  • I just watched Flashbacks of a Fool with this song featured. Never even heard of this band until just now. Wow, what a tune!

  • @Sirolism

    Me, too. Watched the movie twice now. Awesome song! Movie is a little confusing.

  • @Sirolism I had this very same experience a few month ago lol x
