Thanks, for another stunning viedo, Michael, this song has always blown me away and you have added perfect imagery to it, my son watched it with me, not a great Rebel fan, but he was very impressed and the video made him really listen to the song for the first time.
PhilDeeferSite, thought I would let you know that I went to see him at a pub in Kew, or Richmond UK, back in 1975 with my now wife,we both thought he was fantastic, totally unique in so many ways, and incredibly brave even back in those days.
His songs were easily as comparable, versatile, and unique as the beatles.
We moved to Western Australia later that year,so unfortunately never got to see him perform again, big shame!
You was seeing him a year before me, I was seeing him for the first time in Gothenburg in 1976. But was reading about the band already 1973 in Melody Maker, Steve:H says in a interview that Cockney Rebel should be the best band ever, was so very big in his mouth but I was a bit corious so I bought their debut album a month later. Loved them since that. Seen the band two times later in 1990 and 2006. Hopefully will se them and him again soon. Best from videoman

The main reason I can think of to remain is curiousity. Also, you never know, since I 97% certain that we're heading for a slow and subtle takeover of all our human rights (for the majority anyway), tho it would be out of character, I might just find the courage to make a stand, or at least a gesture. That might well be risky (and I'm a coward about torture), but it's better than suicide, or even just fizzling out. But the main reason is curiousity. These are weird times.
Greetings from the west midlands of England-- also sunny at the moment- well it was yesterday, and probably will be again in two or three hours. Was the summer grey in Sweden as it mostly was in the UK? The Spring was pleasant here, then from late June onwards till now it was mostly drab- weird weather sandwich!
Nearly 40 years ago I first listened to this as a teenager. It blew me away. So many years have passed I had virtually forgotten about the song. Now thanks to you Michael
I got to listen to it again - and the effect was the same. I can't believe how well this music stands up after all this time. Truly the mark of a masterpiece . Thank you!
Wow, thanks for the nice vid, and the very very great song from Steve Harley.
This song from the first album was one of my first...(my age then 15yrs)I played that album thousand times, even bought the lp again, and after so many years...I am still get a kick..
@YBBORROBBY Thanks My Friend! Its a masterpiece and I am proud over my works for this video, it feed up the song in a positive way. First time I heard the song didn´t believe it was true, in my opinion best song ever written! THANKS!!! Best Michael
Απολύτως όχι, είστε ευπρόσδεκτοι, κατεβαίνουν στην Κρήτη σχετικά με το ετήσιο ταξίδι μου εκεί 19 Μαΐου, που ταξιδεύουν με τα παιδιά μου τουλάχιστον μία φορά το χρόνο στην Αγία Πελαγία, εργάστηκε ένα Κάποτε ως jockey δίσκων στη Ρόδο, το 1984, μετά από αυτό λγ έχει κάθε χρόνο πήγε στην Ελλάδα.
@swampdodger33 Hi My riend! use diffirent programs, but finnished all upon WMV, to the end. Thanks for nice words, agree in that those songs you´ve never fiinds again. Hip Hop singer dont write songs like this one and IDOL performers only makes bad covers, nearly only what the record industry produce today. So sadly, but truth. Best Michael/Falke58
@PhilDeeferSite I understand. Personally, I know it is hard when things go all wrong, and we all have our reactions to the hellish things that happen to us, even if the reaction is just for a moment..
@PhilDeeferSite life changes plans and all, from day to day. You are right about that, but I think there is something more going on.. We understand the creative side that blossoms in that kind of life.. what is it siddhartha said, something about ignoring the pain, to paraphrase a thought.. anyways, good friday to you. Peg♥
@PhilDeeferSite christmas colors red and green.. both life colors, trees and blood.. not sure why I said that, but this song brought it out, no doubt.. it is very thought provoking, and of course, I remaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyiin.. you friend~
Hi Friend! I will agree, he has wrotes very much lovely things but this is the most greatest and powerful, maybe also some of the best written things in rockhistory and even the most unspected. Thanks to your comments here! Best Wishes Michael/Falke58 for PhilDeeferSite
This is awsome, Michael. The song a classic peace, combined with this outstanding video you made, yes a masterpiece. I can tell you put much time and care into this. The images you collected for this are fantastic, skillfully arranged, with the great talent you have, for transitions. Very artistic! Thumbs up and favor. Thanks!
@kyrioskoks Hi Betty! Long time ago, surprised but really happy to see your comments here. Already passed Creta this year. A month ago, sadly times goes on so fast.
