    My dear little sister wanted this to be played in her funeral. So we listened this on her grave 26.8.23. Rest in peace Kaisu, my lovely, wild and intelligent sister. Nothing compares to you. May God bless you.

      ph8349, I am so sorry for your loss.
      My daughter Birka didn't tell about her wishes regarding music to be played in her remembrance service. She silently went away and took her own life in the midst of norwegian nature 09.09.23. Since she was a big Bowie-fan, Absolute Beginners or Heroes would have suited well. Years ago she had drawn that avatar I am using here. I will miss her to the end of my days.😭

    I've nothing much to offer
    There's nothing much to take
    I'm an absolute beginner
    But I'm absolutely sane
    As long as we're together
    The rest can go to hell
    I absolutely love you
    But we're absolute beginners
    With eyes completely open
    But nervous all the same
    If our love song
    Could fly over mountains
    Could laugh at the ocean
    Just like the films
    There's no reason
    To feel all the hard times
    To lay down the hard lines
    It's absolutely true
    Nothing much could happen
    Nothing we can't shake
    Oh, we're absolute beginners
    With nothing much at stake
    As long as you're still smiling
    There's nothing more I need
    I absolutely love you
    But we're absolute beginners
    But if my love is your love
    We're certain to succeed
    If our love song
    Could fly over mountains
    Sail over heartaches
    Just like the films
    If there's reason
    To feel all the hard times
    To lay down the hard lines
    It's absolutely true

      I've been a bass player for just over 40 years, some of that time as a full time professional. I can honestly say that Gail is amazing as a bass player and also as a vocalist. She's got such a lovely touch on bass.

Because of this song I'll never forget it. Thank you David for the memory. Tell Jesus I'm sorry and I'll see you both soon.

    Love how he smiles so much while singing through this, the love shines through. That bounce of his fist at 2:55 in rhythm also reflect his enthusiasm for this song. Always been one of my personal favorites. Garson always brings so much to the table with his ivory skills. Such a great piece. Leaves me smiling, that's all I really need.

    • @ambhaz8599
      @ambhaz8599 Před 3 lety +6

      What a band this was.🔥 Garson's piano and Earl Slick's guitar elevate this way beyond the studio version IMO. The more I listen, the more it becomes apparent how great a song this is. In a period where his work was at its most patchy, he comes up with something beautiful and very moving.❤️
