Favourite song off the album... Such an amazing song, so well put together, extremely clever group of musicians, "less is more" mentality. Everyone can enjoy it but I'll always class this as a "musicians" album!
Back in 1987, my high school girlfriend put this on before she broke up with me. It was like an overcast sky hung over her living room. I didn't see it coming, but the moment I heard this song, I knew she was going to do it. Broke my heart.
But, bad memories aside, this song is beautiful - just like the rest of the album.
Roxy Music videos of Avalon were played by italian tv between first and second half of football matches at world cup in Spain in 1982, I can remember as if it was yesterday, probably because Italy wan, and especially this song is wonderful.
I bought it on vinyl later bought it on cassette then on to CD, after a few computer crashes happily purchased from itunes.................love it ,so many on going created memories to this astounding masterpiece of music
when it was released rolling stone rated it weak..now it's considered a classic by almost every authority..including rollling stone..highlights..avalon..the space between us..take a chance with me and true to life..the rest only superb..
Last time heard this was in a VW Golf topping out on the expressway at night -every second just an overcorrection away from eternity.w/RM on an endless loop .
Yes, this album is really my personal number One! It is the album I would take if I were stranded on a desert island! A truly timeless sound. I've loved it from the first time I heard it in 1982.
@hargohargo2 couldn't agree more, didn't get turned onto this album til early 90's, now ranks as one of my faves and i perform Avalon whenever i sing, whether it be at karaoke or onstage with my band

Thanks a lot. But ELCIDVIVAR had video with original old sound that I like more than "mp3-file" sound.
