Fade Away - Fra Lippo Lippi

[forcefin]

@c6h7n just kiddin. It's Todd Rundgren. He's the original artist. Just messin around w/ good ol Chuck. Lol

[c6h7n]

i love love love this song! one of my favorite songs from FLL (another is Crazy Wisdom) but unfortunately this song was not as popular as their other songs. and i never heard a studio version of it.

[forcefin]

Fra lippo lippi is not the original artist of these song. It's Chuck Norris.

[c6h7n]

@forcefin Chuck Norris the actor?? seriously?!

[gtintin30]

Fra Lippo Lippi group is very popular in most parts of the world but not here in Norway,unfortunately they are norwegians.

[froilantb]

this song is about spirituality. you and i have been here ever since, no begining and no end. we just take different forms. all matter may vanish but the spirit still lives on. "But we have said it all before, we will always be around. ...In a billion, million years...

when the planets dissapear you and i will stay and watch them all fade away.

[ubeb5]

i agree. this is one of their best songs. used to listen to this song over and over again during the era.

[walkinonthinice]

"....The sea will rise the mountains fall,the Earth will turn itself upside down....but we have saved it all before,we will always be around....in a Hundred millions years when tha planet disappears...You & I will stay watch the world FADE AWAY?! ...In a million Trillion years,when the Planet disappears...You & I will stay und watch them all FADE away??!!...gonna watch them fade away...(Dorodorodut-dut!)...FA­DE AWAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!.......( " ,)

[ionethepunk]

YOU AND I WILL STAY AND WATCH THE WORLD FADE AWAY!..i used to sing along to this lovely record way way back..this song really have obscure music and lyrics, thats what makes this song stand out from other songs theyd made.

[igotalovestoned]

i dont think so pilipino recognize ung mga songs n FLL sayang fav ko p nmn un kht d k naabutan

[reden54]

ang ganda ng music na to fade away kaya lang di masyadong na bigyan ng exposere.

[torontokads]

that's true, bro...underrated tong song na to...one of my all time FLL faves...

[reden54]

bro. di ko pa na papakinggan ang studio version ng fede away sana mag lagay din sila kasi live version lang ang napapakinggan ko thanks nga pala napansin mo ang comment ko.

[hendrixpascual]

EXPOSERE? OH EXPOSURE?

[eltrifb95]

[seanmarie69]

[marlonini]

si todd rundgren ang original nito...bale cover version to ng fra lippo lippi....unang ni record noong 70's....isa sa mga favorite ko

[dolltriz]

of course filipinos recognize FLL!!

i love der songs ever since esp. light and shades and angel..

[torontokads]

Rune Kristoffersen and Per Øystein Sørensen. They are from Norway.

[qlai08]

i love this song very much...great songs like this one should last forever..

[mockys2007]

thank you very much for posting! missed this so much. late 80's i guess.

[RichardHannay]

This is also one of my favourite Fra Lippo Lippi songs (second behind "Light And Shade" albeit a cover of Todd Rundgren's original)... The lyrics lend so much to making this song more melancholy than it is...

[dickmagsino]

what a rare treat!classis song of fra lippo lippi fade away was their classic creation cheers!

[iiu9536]

what were the last words, "F uck the laws?

[rodelbasco]

Ha ha...more like " Tha Falos.." maybe it's "Thank You" in different language.

[ryanjazon10]

geez this song is awesome... the best ever FLL ever sang. i keep listening to this every single day and never get tired of it.

[iwoniwon]

This is my favorite fra lippo lippi song. And I wonder why it never got famous.

[torontokads]

It's probably because this always appeared in their B-side. This was not an original composition. See comment below. Nevertheless, this is still a great song from a great band.

[igotalovestoned]

actually guys im 16 only but i really love FLL songs ..so sad filipinos not recognize FLL ..Im happy when i see a person who plays FLL songs

[laughingatyoulol]

I'm a Filipino, 16 years old of age and I recognize these songs. They're the best.

[torontokads]

good for you....the 80s brought alot of great songs that will live forever.

[charinamanaba]

they say that fll was popular during the 80's, i was a kid then... but when i was in my teens mid 90's... most or mostly of by friends listen to e heads, the youth (local bands)... but me i listen to FLL thanks to my father. i dunno but i love them together with bread, america, and eagles... and know im in my mid 20's i do still listen to them.... love the songs of the early 70's like beatles...

[coolnovemberrain2000]

dang.... well done by fra lippo lippi...

it's so funny...after 20 years, I still play light and shade in my car! I was a kid then. Now I'm a father! Time flies...but my heart remains a child.

[torontokads]

great songs will never ever die...

[rodelbasco]

During the late 80s, FLL is so popular in the Philippines. I saw their concert at the Folk Arts Theater. Man it was an awesome evening. You cant hardly hear the band singing coz all the people are singing to almost every song that they sing. And you know what? The concert which is supposed to be a 2 night concert engagement only lasted for a week due to popular demand.

[iiu9536]

and majority of the people who attended the concert wore black

[lally0522]

Fade Away is a great song! It's one of my favorite songs of Fra Lippo Lippi. I also like Even Small Trees Bend, Home and Regrets. They're also less popular songs but equally good.

Good job torontokads!

[walkinonthinice]

Fade away is actually just a Fra Lippo Lippi cover of a Todd Rundgren (he of "can we still be friends?" fame)original. This is the reason why you can't find it in any of their studio albums since they only performed it live.

[lally0522]

Hey, thanks for the info! This is a Todd Rundgren original indeed. FLL did a good version of this song.

[cavedog35]

great song, great band. Even great to read Espen Dahl was here. Good job done!

check the original by todd rundgren somewhere here on youtube!

[cavedog35]

[dawsonking2569]

before I used to sing this song with a lot of emotion and word for word I know it. Its the flipside of the single "everytime I see you" back in 1988. It feels good when I discover it here at youtube. Thanks to that person who uploaded it..

[torontokads]

you're welcome, dude...this is not well known even to FLL followers. a good friend of mine gave a copy of a FLL compilation to me which she got from a member in the now_and_forever yahoo group for FLL followers whose members include Michael Sutton.

[dawsonking2569]

my all time favorite..

[grinman2000]

may not know these guys but definitely enjoy their music since the mid to the late 80's

[torontokads]

yeah not alot of pipol know this band...

[itesdahl]

Great live recording. Must have been a brilliant engineer :-)

[torontokads]

yeah...it was...too bad not alot of people recognize Fra Lippo Lippi...

[itesdahl]

I have to admit I actually was the recording engineer ...

Interesting to see 20 + year old stuff pop up on YouTube.

[torontokads]

[zipang102]
