{These Foolish Things} Bryan FERRY

[427shoes57]

I really like the way the song builds- Ferry's emotive voice (that some find irritating) I find enchanting and I think gives the song authenticity- this song harkens back to the romantic films of the 40's and 50's and with the rising chorus and playful bass line at the end I see the credits rolling as Bogart walks away into a foggy night (- words by Eric Maschwitz and music by Jack Strachey: from Wikipedia)

[Tsugaheterophylla]

Pretty weak, although not quite an embarrassment. Ferry's vocal affectations and mannerisms aren't endearing, and his voice is generally weak. The band is clearly just a bunch of guys pulled together for the occasion; the drummer in particular is sloppy and clumsy. Overall it's a nice bit of pop music, but what it really shows is that if you're a star, you can get away with just about anything.

I think Mr. Ferry does a disgusting job with this song. The jerky delivery, replete with hand clapping, totally distorts the feeling of this wonderfully romantic song.

The claim that he is one of England's best singers is an insult to the many fine singers on your island.

Great lyrics, Mr Ferry at his superb best! :)

[certificate18flix]

@2Anunnaki He didn't write this.

[aa209999]

no matter how big and hard you think you are.. experience love and loss and I defy anyone not to well up

[ziaone]

No-one writes lyrics as beautiful and evocative as these anymore. The fashion for them has passed and they sound pretty innocent nowadays. But i love them. And i'm a ragga/dancehall/jungle fan.

[tonkali]

:) Thank you :)

[heartrenderer05]

No matter the style, the age, the intepretation, the loss of love and the emotion all are summed up in this lament. Whether you cringe or get drunk, the lyric is king.

[unipen13]

[Avalonesque]

The video is so lovely and heartbreaking Mr Ferry is great!

[MFebruary]

what is this video from? i just love it!

[IrmaCerrutti]

The belchings of wallpaper music that make my rectum a ventriloquist

A ear trumpet that vaginas sine qua non whos to mouth

Oh, how the doppelganger of you snogs

These burbling meats remind me of you

[IrmaCerrutti]

A thudding crescendo in the posterior toilet

Those boobing dopes that told you what my back passage accommodated

Those strip joints encrusted wriggle rooms

These burbling meats remind me of you

[IrmaCerrutti]

A butt that ungulates a lippricks whiff

An aerophobia death certificate to grotesque coffins

And still my vagina fucks paratroopers

These burbling meats remind me of you

[IrmaCerrutti]

Oh, will you never let me breathe

Oh, will you never harden me for love

The tourniquets that strangled us are still around us

Theres no blowhole that I can knock into

And still those spat on meats stand firm

That bring me ecstasy or soreness

[vertxxgg]

must be 60 or 70 years old but this version in FERRY ALBUM is the best

[supensurea]

Great version of an old song - must be almost 30 years old. Love the way it builds to a climax.

[Angiello0802]

Great!!! One of my favorites!Mr.Ferry is an exceptional artist and deserves our highest respect.

You´re welcome!

[bryferluke]

Thank you. The only problem is that I only have this video of Mr. Ferry. Actually I am very poor on videos.
