David McWilliams - Days Of Pearly Spencer

This promotional film benefits from the complete absence of Dave Lee "Tragic" Travis. Of course the song was later covered by Marc Almond.

The video is better than some have said.
It's not because it doesn't have special effects that it is necessarily bad.
I like this old telephone.
Don't try to compare it with other videos, it has an originality of its own.

There have been several interpretations of this song, but none which can match with the one of Mc Williams which is much superior to all the other ones.
Most often the composer of a song is also the best interpreter of his song, and Mc Williams makes no exception to this rule.
I would have loved to hear Beethoven play himself one of his sonatas.

If only songs like this one were still made.
Now we have more powerful computers; internet but shit songs instead.
It's like technology had killed creativity.

I remember in about 1967 or 1968, my friend telling me that the chorus of this song sounded different, because McWilliams had not finished the song in the recording studio, and so "Phoned in" the chorus, which was then laid down on the track. How ironic that this video shows this in the reverse

Iron trees smother the air
but withering they stand and stare
thro' eyes that neither know nor care
where the grass has gone How more futuristc can could he have been
This was prophesy !!
