This is so real.I love all of your music. You are absolutely real. Thank you. I love If You Could See Me Now. I probably listen to you hundreds of time.
3:10am in the wee hours of a Tuesday morning, and I'm surfing YouTube and gently wash ashore on the island of marycigarettes, where I lie in the sun, and the sun is wet and high.
a lot of people say that ,skinny.....i think me and peter gabriel maybe have similar shaped voice boxes...david bowie was my big passion when i was growing up,but of course i sound nothing like him.i'm glad people compare me to peter gabriel though...he's given his life to music.
I missed the boat, though somehow I arrived/ through my stumbling, now find myself transposed/ no longer in the original, I place myself in the parenthesis/ teetering, I now stand near him in the fragility of our sometimes fragile world/ Together I feel the washing- human experience/ the washing-our existence/ &it feels as though, the crowd washes us by/ till we know! we've been there once or many times before! (Whew! phenomenal stuff!)
The smirk of your joke jolts ecstatic madness across your face/ cutting rhythms felt/ experiencing moments, while the rush of human existence washes you by...............(This is/was my response before I read your description. I guess sometimes knowing less is more?Now I too feel like the guy in the video!)
This is an Absolute Masterpiece!! What was the chances of that! You finding this video footage & putting it together with this song?! It Captures the Feeling & Atmosphere of the whole Concept Beautifully, It's Mesmerising! I Can't stop watching This! xx
This video is ample proof that one should always look through peoples back catalogue since you never know what gems are lying there. This video is so sublime, so gentle, so touching yet so tragic that it reaches out of the screen and refuses to let go. I've watched it 4 times now. The filming is beautifully fluid. Great work all round. 5* and fav, of course
great, love title, and meaning [s] one may listen to words, and it can be an answer to their questions, thoughts, concerns - various, unique meanings in this one song. video plays into the same genre as lyrics.
Your fellow there seems to epitomize the general malaise that we are all feeling while the international banker/fukkers screw us all till we are beyond broke...financially and spiritually. most excellent lyrics and vocals. cheers for the song. 5 *'s. btw..... my powder is dry and i am cocked/locked and ready to rock if the nwo-playas want some "6 feet under" keep up the great work. peace after the revolution. "as the world moves forward...we keep moving backwards".
Thanx for the explanation...I kinda imagined it similar to the expression "keep your shirt on". Kudos for songwriting, which for me is harder than poetry. I can write words but they lie, without melody..
haha There have been many nicknames for all the different places in the Soho and surounding areas such as... Pick A Willy Circus and CXR = Chest XRay LOL :)
~I imagine I would like to imagine myself being wasted like the man with no eyes~used to~not now~but I had a twinge of an image in my mind~many thanks~Rob
'Lately,all music irritates me.I don't like anything.'
hahahahahahahahaha ...veronica..that is a killer line that i may have to use in a song.....and i know how you feel ...so much music is overheated..overfried..over egged..it kills me too.........thanks for such a glorious comment...you sound like great fun.
On a serious note,I liked your video too,So many people miss the person as they pass the drunk.You didn't.You talked,walked, and fed him.Unusual.Good.
i'm so pleased you enjoyed that barbara..it's a nice thing to be told as i wind down from the weekend....i hope your weekend was good......it was WINDY here!
thanks! ...i hope all those roadworks round princess street arent doin your head in....i heard'sound control' the big music shop in edinburgh is now closed..that made me sad...that place had been going forever...as a teenager in a band in edinburgh in the late 70's we used to get stuff for our gigs from there...such a shame it's now gone.
i was thinking about your part of the world today...sligo...galway...i love galway..i saw john martyn play there at the roisin dubh....then i saw glen tilbrook the following night do a solo acoustic thing in a tiny bar...and i swam in the ocean at salthill...it was feeeeezing
y'know...a funny thing julie....i know the guy who cuts gordon browns hair...i've known him since i was sixteen when i left northern ireland for edinburgh..in those days he used to cut hair for the bay city rollers!!!...i wonder if gordon brown puts his haircuts down on his expenses ,cause this guy who cuts his hair is NOT cheap!
What a mesmerizing video...not the least of which is the song and your vocal. Truly wonderful. And although I do see the similarity to Art Garfunkel, you have you own voice and style that makes you JUST AS AWESOME.
hey baby!!!.its the angel with the ukelele...i keep thinking about learning to play one of those little things...they have a certain harp quality in the sound..i guess it's the nylon strings..... lovely to hear from you tim
dont know what to say except this has really touched me, in a sort of way im in a situation where, well let's just say trying to cope with a major loss, a friend of mine postd this to me, and hit a big spot, maybe there is light at the end. thank you.
I can't really add anything that hasn't been written about your new video. I truly enjoyed it and I'm planning on firing my attorney, David Randal Curtis, for NOT even mentioning this during his last conference call of 5-08-09...
thanks sarah..i just listened to your singing..you got something nice going on in your voice that reminded me of one of my favourite canadian females singers songs..her name is michelle shocked and she has a song from a long time ago called'anchorage' its a gorgeous song...you should check it out..its great..it's inspiring..keep singing angel.
hi paul!!! i got a new hand made acoustic guitar from ireland...it's a mcilroy...and i'm saving up for a green gretsch country club ...i want to learn some simple jazz chord progressions a i go into the older phase of my life..not in a clever muso way..just for a cool jazz style for songwriting...love the little les paul junior youre using at the moment.....much love to you!
hi peter...thanks!..just looked at your channel...love the collection of things there...i see you got lloyd cole up there... he wrote some great things.. l LOVED 'forest fire' and 'are you ready to be heartbroken'...sandy shaw did an amazing version of that ,but you probably already know that......glad you liked song and video .
wow.. cant' stop listening to this.. I love the song.. the words..the feeling.. the vid DOES go perfectly to the song.. awesome. omg.. just going to hit REPLAY........REPEAT........GOGOGO...
thanks toots!..i see you're a tom jones fan...me too....i LOVE the really early stuff like'i'll never fall in love again' and 'it's not unusual'...those records where he has a big swinging band with brass and orchestra are just amazing... a really earthy salty singer..and he's STILL good.... so glad you liked my song..thanks!
I'M CRAZY about SIR TOM!! I flew all the way to Vegas after lusting him for 40 yrs!! I SCREAMED out "I LOVE YOU TOMMY!!" in Welsh... and he yells back "I LOVE YOU TOO DOLL" ! In english.. haha!! It was fantastic!! :) yummmmm SirTommy!
hi elaine..you got paul and barry ryan!!.....i played 'eloise' over and over as a ten year old...that lovely slow section in the middle of the record sent me into another world....and boy,they were the coolest looking guys...great clothes and hair....thanks for listening
thanks sookie...i just watched your stone wall clip..i'll enjoy watching the larry kramer links..i read a book of his once...i spend a LOAD of time round christopher street when i'm in new york...glad you liked the song.
I LOVE the vocals on this. Such emotion... 5*/playlisted/faved -- all that jazz -- this is soooo good... do you have any idea... I wonder if you do.... how your singing hits some people... not just me but other fans I talk to.... don't stop... you are on a roll...
the day i sang that...i crashed my partners car...i cant drive,but it was in the drive way and i revved it up and it was parked in reverse gear and i reversed it into an oak tree..i was not popular!!!! and in the evening i was on my own and did that vocal to just try and keep myself busy.
cheers barbara..i see you're a bee gees fan...as a eight/nine year old pop fan,i got all their singles with my pocket money....as i got older i thought about the tone in their voices a lot...such great tone..and youre from cambridge..i LOVE THE corn exchange there...saw marrianne faithful in that place john martyn..and what a lovely town?!.......thanks for listening to my song.
thanks piggy.....your bowie channel is looking better than ever!
LOVE that background...i sometimes go to manchester square where that photo was taken.. i go to the place opposite the old EMI building called 'the wallace collection' for high tea!
i LOVE your channel...all those stateside hmv forty fives..i had those records as a kid in those very sleeves...i was watching the long john baldry documentary the uvver night...in this video..down on the corner of the street is where he had those barrel sessions with reg dwight and rod stewart....i really dig your channel..had to subscribe
thank you sir!....as i get older i do become more and more of a 'late hours' type player....i'd like to learn to play jazz guitar as i hit this time in my life...and see if i can write songs in that area
i'm doin good! sitting here watching that amazing clip of thin lizzy on your page....phil was amazing..a real rock and roll star.....i loved that line up with john sykes too..i loved every change in thin lizzy...eric bell..brian robertson...gary moore.
That was pure entertainment, oved the video take,I was glued to that video, thoroughly enjoyed the song,that guy could not have done that better for you , even if he had been a professional film extra,he was so expressively none expressive,misterious I hope that makes sense,lucky he didn't punch you on the nose, as you say he was not keen on the camera intrusion at first, but knowing that from info also helped add to the intrigue, where was that filmed??, seemed to be an ubundance of males. 555
i've had some close shaves in soho...one time i filmed some 'ladies of the night' in the red light district..they were very young and they came after me and tried to get away with my camera...i just curled up in a ball snuggling my camera till they gave up...the upsetting thing was people just walked by minding there own business while they nearly killed me!
Hey, thanks! - no, the Hammond is the main installation in the living room... A perfect late '60s-early'70s T500 went on eb*y last week for £52... unbelievable! - drawbars, tonewheels, and inbuilt Leslie.. wished I coulda got it... the Leslie's been removed on mine.
- beautiful film- I spent an evening watching all your vids a while ago.
As for sinking below the waterline... man, I think most of us have had to learn to breathe underwater! Keep the beautiful thing going....
you're unique too,dave...i really enjoyed your film posters...the send up of the beatles 'let it be' cracked me up...pure first class australian humour in that one....'leave it alone'...hahahahahaha
Im on second watch now Mary...love the sound of this one...and the simplicity of the video is so very perfect. This song means something to me for personal reasons can you email me the mp3?
I love this...this song is perfect, love your voice...found you on Tim/kentishbloke's channel...the Tim seal of approval is automatically matched by mine :)
All the best,
Joy/the Leopard Lounge

That was pure entertainment, oved the video take,I was glued to that video, thoroughly enjoyed the song,that guy could not have done that better for you , even if he had been a professional film extra,he was so expressively none expressive,misterious I hope that makes sense,lucky he didn't punch you on the nose, as you say he was not keen on the camera intrusion at first, but knowing that from info also helped add to the intrigue, where was that filmed??, seemed to be an ubundance of males. 555

i've had some close shaves in soho...one time i filmed some 'ladies of the night' in the red light district..they were very young and they came after me and tried to get away with my camera...i just curled up in a ball snuggling my camera till they gave up...the upsetting thing was people just walked by minding there own business while they nearly killed me!

Hey, thanks! - no, the Hammond is the main installation in the living room... A perfect late '60s-early'70s T500 went on eb*y last week for £52... unbelievable! - drawbars, tonewheels, and inbuilt Leslie.. wished I coulda got it... the Leslie's been removed on mine.
- beautiful film- I spent an evening watching all your vids a while ago.
As for sinking below the waterline... man, I think most of us have had to learn to breathe underwater! Keep the beautiful thing going....
