    The best cover version of this song ever. Not just Bryan's singing, but the whole act - gestures, face expressions, whistling... The guitar solo deserves appreciation on its own. A true masterpiece.

The saxophone solo in particular felt like a hug to me, Bryan Ferry's voice took me by the hand with its intense sense of understanding and I found the courage and strength to escape from years of humiliation, isolation and violence.

    One of the greatest "covers" of all time. Remember when this came out just a few months after the terrible murder of John Lennon. As some one else said , he would have been proud.

    Through the course of our lives, every one of us hears an inordinate number of songs. There are those we've forgotten about, those that were mediocre to say the least. those we thought were OK, those we thought were great, and those we thought were nothing short of amazing. And once in a while there's a track we will never ever forget because it/was FAR beyond that last category of "nothing short of amazing". I'm way more than halfway through my life (I won't make it to 102, that's without question!) and amongst the handful of tracks from my 51 years on earth I can place in that "elite" category proudly stands this sheer stunner....

    I was lucky enough to see Brian Ferry at a very small live concert in Germany, I’d say less than 1,000 people, with giant earthen owls eminating a scented smoke that, by it’s sweet odor, reminded me of something we used to “fly away” from our daily worries... It was a magic concert... stage catwalking straight into the crowd, Brian close enough to touch him, vibrating with a magical charisma that one would be unable to find these days in any of the so-called “stars”... That concert was pure magic, and I thank the lord on my knees that I was at the right place at the right time back then. My one man web design company that propelled me from the bottom to the top here in Thailand innthe late 90s was called Avalon, that should say it all. I love Roxy Music and Brian Ferry to bits. It was a magic time (80s and 90s)... A time that one can only dream of nowadays, where a socialist elite tries to strangle us all to death. My strength to overcome all this is the music of the 80s and 90s. Love to all you Roxy Music fans out there. ❤️☀️🇹🇭🏖🌴🥥🐘🌈

A few promising blips surface every now and again, but overall it’s basically been a pop culture wasteland ever since the late 90’s.

    Great song, but want to say a word for the video direction as it's as exquisite as the song itself. The slow panning, the mirrored image at the start, the cut from a close-up to an even closer up, the focus on a single band member at one time and the way the camera lingers on the sax player after his part. And Bryan Ferry looking, as he does, both deranged and yet unquestionably cool, in his pastille linen suit with eyes that could seduce millions into bed, whilst simultaneously snarling to the camera and singing about being a bit of a bastard. Utter utter utter brilliance.
