[MrScary5150]

I bet Adrian Belew could do an amazing cover of this

[jackster1212]

@MrScary5150 Adrian Belew... love that guy.

[11xzxzxz]

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice

Invisible rejoice

the man sings in a visible voice

stamp us in a pile of files with the invoice

gave hope to the well-thought out but unvoiced

children by the trillion love Alex Chilton in a rolls royce.

[Shirokinukatsukami]

@11xzxzxz

Crap.

[TheGFtrooper]

[woodhd]

i really miss my records ... this more than most ... hopefully i ll be home soon

[FaithSmith81]

miss U ALEX :°-(((

[seanreillyireland]

I've whiled away DAYS listening to this tender gem.

[hightimesbruce]

The Kendal Johansson cover is brilliant.

[seanreillyireland]

@hightimesbruce Thanks for the pointer! It is a bit of a shock to the ears but after that, its great. What it really shows though, is the sheer beauty of the song.

[WIltshireByways]

@hightimesbruce If you're deaf!

[hightimesbruce]

@WIltshireByways

I just happen to be deaf, you know. I actually listen to music through vibrations, so the bombastic instrumentation of Kendal's version helps me.

[czech698]

i dunno it beats still pictures especially the gratuitous naked lady shot

[scanner1978]

Todo el disco es un clásico, una maravilla.

[amokdelviento]

And now that she's gone I wonder if she would think of me with this song...

[ocsvcsvcsvo]

nice song i love it

[PieceofMindmusic]

good beer, great song!

[amokdelviento]

Let me be your one light And if you'd like a true heart Take the time to show you're mine And I'll be a blue moon in the dark. While you sleep you'll see me there Clouds race across the sky Close your eyes and don't ask why And I'll be a blue moon in your eyes. Morning comes and sleeping's done Birds sing outside If demons come while you're under I'll be a blue moon in the sky Let me be your one light And if you'd like a true heart Take the time to show you're mine And I'll be a bluemoointhedark

[amokdelviento]

Let me be your one light

And if you'd like a true heart

Take the time to show you're mine

And I'll be a blue moon in the dark.

While you sleep you'll see me there

Clouds race across the sky

Close your eyes and don't ask why

And I'll be a blue moon in your eyes.

[cauldron999]

His Name is Alive covers this song...

RIP Alex.

[culturapla]

el sol es mineral y la luna es azul

[seanreillyireland]

The beauty of this is shocking.

[boundsgreentiger]

sweet dreams Alex; this song is now even more heartbreaking.

[jnsii]

you will be missed

[JukeboxJellyJ]

R.I.P. Alex, you will be missed

[JoaoPQ]

So sad he gone away. I can never hear his voice live (and have never heard... I only hear these recordings). It's strange.

All stars die someday though.

[Fazolina]

exactly my feelings, maybe selfish in some way, but i'll never get to see him live right when i've started to discover this fantastic music... so sad. RIP Alex.

[zensolo]

It's a grown-up lover's lullaby. Only other song comes close (IMHO) is Taylor's Sweet Baby James, which is not half as sad & melancholy.

[FramatMalmoe]

I'm crying...

[jackster1212]

Interesting how this sounds like Elliot Smith... or how much Smith sounded like Chilton, I guess

[masn91]

yeah elliot smith covers some big star songs like thirteen.

[fablecio]

@jackster1212 Listen to Nighttime, There is barely a difference in the covers.

[KellyGreen5555]

Journey well, Alex.

[mpagner]

Of all of the musicians who have passed away in my lifetime, Alex Chilton's death might have hit me the worst. One of my favorites is gone.

[revolutionroom]

Makes my heart hurt. This has been a tough day. I can only imagine whaqt it's like for someone who knew him.

[Hamsaouahamsine]

Sad, sad day

Farewell, Alex Chilton

[TheWhiteTomatoes]

I hope they play this at his funeral.

[sadie767]

Alex will be missed

[diskochimp]

God, what a beautiful song.

R.I.P. Alex.

[zellerhelsinki]

I actually liked the animation, suits the mood of the song and the sad fact that Alex Chilton is no more.

[lfc1892]

Sleep well Alex.x

[ladesco]

good-bye alex, from a september gurl... still in search of her december boy. thank you for all the beautifulness and wondertunefull things you leave behind

[Lrx9]

Such a beautiful song. RIP Alex Chilton.

[derikgranz2]

R.I.P., Alex! God Bless You!! :(

[polishcandy]

goodbye alex. you will be missed dearly.

[girlygirl2230]

Alex Chilton R.I.P.

[SuperEvia]

[jaylang121]

[spacebat28]

[Bunker91]

Westerberg.

[amabille16]

1:14

it scares me!

[SamGB1987]

Can any1 recommend any more songs like this that make you think about life etc as corny as that sounds plz :P

[cannibalcow24]

NMA by Eef barzelay, or Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley, or Vito's Ordination Song by Sufjan Stevens, Oh Sweet Nuthin by Velvet Underground, or the Animals were Gone by Damien Rice, or Flower, Saw a UFO, Things the Grandchildren Should Know, and P.S. You Rock My World by the Eels, or pretty much any Elliott Smith song.

Enjoy!

[Qmanklozmo]

check out jesus, etc by wilco

or another big star song, thirteen

[jbearden]

for you, old macdonald had a farm.

[SamGB1987]

wow its amazing!

[sugarydonkey]

It is a lovely song indeed. But it sounds nothing like Elliott Smith at al. Nothing whatsoever.

[Stillillgal]

it is sound lik the late elliott a bit

[jbearden]

except this was done in the 70's, dude. who sounds like...? huh?

[hardrainfallin]

correct. It sounds nothing like Elliot Smith. Elliot Smith, on the other hand, sounds very much like this. So much so, in fact, that he covered "thirteen" (another Big Star classic) on several occasions. It's here if you look for it.

[babyscream]

Hey, I recorded my own version, great song.

j

[Ronk15]

I love this song, it's so beautiful.

I discovered big star in the T.V. serie house, since that day, I fell in love with this band.

[MrFattyMoustache]

do you mean the song "I'm in love with a girl"?

That is my favourite song EVER.

[Ronk15]

Yes, I do mean. That's my favourite song too.

Anyway, big star is a great band.

[NWforager]

'His Name is Alive' does a great cover of this Gem .

[sugarydonkey]

No they don't.

[NWforager]

watch?v=6QATj0vEEyI  see=D

[xtrasauc]

They sure do.

[seanreillyireland]

@NWforager Thanks for the tip.

[BloomingSkulls]

I love this song, it's so simple, sweet, and beautiful. <33 Big Star.

[HotRats86]

it sounds like elliott..voacally..I know he dug big star lots...

[Gripwheat]

Awesome song. "Never travel far without a little Big Star."

[KellyGreen5555]

The Replacements are one of the greatest rock bands, bar nothin'...Blue Moon is simply gorgeous.

[Gripwheat]

Couldn't agree more on both points.

[Fumaralgorondamon]

sooo good, i have this on tape but the casseteplayer is useless, so was very nice to find it here. and come on its not that awful animation, is ok i think

[Stillillgal]

love this song
