So , at 4:20 close your eyes and drink in this spectacular end to a beautiful song, listen closely to the bass guitar, the drums, the synth, the violin intro the acoustic guitar and enjoy every single moment, you don't want it to end .
At 4:20 of this song I was cruising in my car in steady traffic, looking over silhouetted mountains into a brilliant setting sun in a cloudless sky...from seemingly nowhere, a magic moment came together, perfectly timed... and you are right, I didn't want it to end.
This is a beautiful song with such a wonderful ending with such a lovely video of Green ( Paul his real name. ) going around the town of Usk in Monmouthshire, South Wales and going into the Royal Hotel.
Beautiful masterpiece and the instrumental ending - 😘 Not surprised that everyone comments on it. Keep reaching for the drag and replay on my iPhone music dial

I've listened to this song and I still don't get it. I hope it all comes to me, some day, maybe soon. It's a beautiful, dark song. Why isn't Green writing with Dave Gamson and Bill Maher again?
It is a mystery, but I think one key is the line about Abraham. Going out on a limb here, but it suggests it's an incest murder story told by a teenager, and the cops don't think she did it.
Brushed with oil, dusted with powder The day began to decline A broken door, hotel bedroom The sun cut through the blind (oh but I tell you) The officer asked "how did it start?" Oh shit, "you I wish I knew" I said "On Highbury Fields, the Westside Highway Or here in the Hollywood hills" In a black and white, to Orange County The sky was a beautiful blue A pack of lights 'n some keys they found there They wondered how much I knew (oh but I tell you) The officer asked "how did it start?" Oh shit, "you I wish I knew" I said "On Highbury Fields, the Westside Highway Or here in the Hollywood hills" And yes, it's over And yes, oh the powerful have found me It was beautiful to see It was how I'm meant to be It was love, no matter what they say It's wonderful to be here Abraham, my father, had a girl he called his angel I made my excuses and I like the way it feels The officer asked "how did it start?" Oh shit, "you I wish I knew" I said "On Highbury Fields, the Westside Highway Or here in the Hollywood hills" And yes, it's over And yes, oh the powerful have found me It was beautiful to see It was how I'm meant to be It was love, no matter what they say It's wonderful to be here
That instrumental ending....is everything...
Absolutely ❤️

Because there morons!! True beauty!!
That coda, it's sublime and has an ethereal quality.

Green on 420 is magical.

I've always been there❤
Wow, better than most of the stuff on the radio today
Green's genius and songs like Dusted set the bar to another level. The ending is a masterstroke of perfection.
what a beautiful man,his voice is amazing,since i was 14,i was captured
as a kid (I was 11 when perfect way hit the states) I was hooked on his music...it was such ear candy
Love to have a Guinness and a chat with Green. Top Guy!
I absolutely love this song and Scritti Politti!!!
Me too
One of Green's finest moments.
Dean Wilkes and he has had many..!
Green's had untold fine moments and will no doubt have untold more!
Definitely
Nobody has a voice like greens

This is a beautiful song with such a wonderful ending with such a lovely video of Green ( Paul his real name. ) going around the town of Usk in Monmouthshire, South Wales and going into the Royal Hotel.

Makes me feel kind of a rapture - it's entrancing, so relaxing and beautiful at the end.

this sounds nothing like their 80's music AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT! Green striving for new vistas of sonic imagination and creativity
No 2 Scritti albums sound the same..not even Cupid & Provision
One of his best.

lovely
Brushed with oil, dusted with powder
The day began to decline
A broken door, hotel bedroom
The sun cut through the blind (oh but I tell you)
The officer asked "how did it start?"
Oh shit, "you I wish I knew" I said
"On Highbury Fields, the Westside Highway
Or here in the Hollywood hills"
In a black and white, to Orange County
The sky was a beautiful blue
A pack of lights 'n some keys they found there
They wondered how much I knew (oh but I tell you)
The officer asked "how did it start?"
Oh shit, "you I wish I knew" I said
"On Highbury Fields, the Westside Highway
Or here in the Hollywood hills"
And yes, it's over
And yes, oh the powerful have found me
It was beautiful to see
It was how I'm meant to be
It was love, no matter what they say
It's wonderful to be here
Abraham, my father, had a girl he called his angel
I made my excuses and I like the way it feels
The officer asked "how did it start?"
Oh shit, "you I wish I knew" I said

Wunderschön!
I've been saying it for years(it may not sit right with him) but in my opinion Green Gartside is a Genius!👌💜
Usk. Church St
kisses to you xxxx
Grammi Award, for Green
Omg , green hasn't aged one bit . Not at all ... look carefully?
Green Pea soup Gartside in LA.

Great song but goatee beard, ugh. The voice is still fantastic, sends a Shriver down the spine, but that beard.
