As a Roxy Music fan I sit here and think of my wife I lost five years ago , to a brain tumour, I will have this song played at my funeral, It is as bitter sweet as any of Shakespeares sonnets, to me.

@David Spooner; May God be with you in your sorrow David. He has a reason for everything though oftentimes we don't know it is. 1. "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. 2. A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. 3. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4. A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. 5. A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. 6. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7. A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. 8. A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace. 9. What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils? 10. I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves. 11. He has made everything *[Lit beautiful] appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end." (Ecclesiastes 3.1-11.).

That`s powerfull. I can understand your heartache although it is 12 years now. I lost my love 8 years ago and some songs have her sitting right here beside me. Thank God for the great music. Try some Van The Man, He works too. Cheers to the music.

David Spooner... I feel for youre loss... unfortunately every one on here has lost someone near and dear, including me. God grant. you peace and grace to empwer you to your next adventure.

My favorite Roxy song of all time. For some reason I tear up when I hear it.

Obsessing about this song...playing it over and over again! So beautiful! Jamais! jamais!

This track to me is Roxy's masterpiece. It feels that Ferry wrote this years ago and waited for the right time to include it finally on the 3rd album. It is a beautifully written ballad that has a pure continental feel about it and interjected with french vocals. Clearly to me this sits at the top table of all the work they've done.

David M I was just going to say the exact same thing! I'm American and I relate more to this song than some so-called American patriotic songs. I've cried to this song. I always put it on rotation with my portable player when I go to Europe. I always play this song when flying into Paris. What a feeling! Beautiful moments. Beautiful.

.....true Art is generally a very elusive thing, until it breaks off it's chains and lands in our laps " Like a Hurricaine " and shocks and surprises all of us willing to listen. Brian Ferry always has that potenciall to do this....and here he does it Again. !

If I had to pick just one song to take with me - this would probably be it . Must have listened to it a thousand times over the years , yet my eyes are still never quite dry at the end !

Most underrated performer in the history of rock !!

To those who have commented on losing a loved one linked to this piece of music which painted an important verse, chapter, and book in their life, my heartfelt feelings and condolences to each and everyone of you. If I was to lose someone so dear to me (my mum and did) and could pick a piece of music to remember her by, this would be it. Reason - My mum loved Bryan Ferry.

Andy MacKay's Solo is indeed mind blowing... so is his jacket!!!

Where is this so polite audience ? Germany ? A great masterpiece…. Of the worlds music 😍

2018!!! Just...stupendous. Awesome as well. Er... Magnificent too. Damn it BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! Hats off to Andy Mackay. Thankyou indeed 🌟🌟🌟

DesertRainz so beautifully crafted.

Bryan Ferry's style of singing a romantic song is simply breathtaking. A God-given talent and a masterpiece composition of music teamed with beautiful, romantic lyrics. He seems as timeless in this video as he was in 1973 when I purchased his first album. All I can say is that as an "old-40's type crooner" the Ladies must've loved him!

What an astoundingly brilliant performance this is... it perhaps even tops the studio version. Erudite, moving, melancholic and stunningly beautiful.

Спасибо, огромное спасибо из Сибири. Это просто шедевр... Спасибо что вы есть...

One of the best songs ever, and I love this version. Goosebumps. Brilliant.

Beautiful song. So sad, but sung from the heart.

One of the few songs that can really touch my soul!!

This song is so beautiful and moves me immensely. It reminds me so starkly of the time i was in Paris with my wife. Unfortunately she passed away 7 years ago from a brain tumor. The song stirs up a lot of feelings in me.

They were so happy to see Andy improvise on the saxophone - a beautiful solo that set the whole song.

Goodbye Europe, Goodbye America...Bryan foretold our fate nearly 50 years ago...

I am so glad I picked up the first Roxy Music album...way back❤

I have always loved this song so much. But now it kind of breaks my heart. Now more than ever. Europe save thyself.

I grew up with this band 🎵🎶song just awesome ❤

The dramatic conclusion is effing Brilliant -

More relevant than ever...

What if this was not a song about love, but about culture? About a hope about "freedom, equality, brotherhood", the idea of the french revolution? Goodbye Europe. 2 minutes to Midnight. Another oldie. Final Countdown. Still another. Waking up was yesterday. 💋

A masterclass in writing, musicianship, singing and performing! A complete joy! Thank you to everyone on that stage x

The most atmospheric erotic song ever!

The song suits Europe now!!

This song is an absolute masterpiece,....love it!

Might be the most beautiful of all Roxy Music songs. And the competition is really hard.

perfect song ( from France)

This is still now these days very very beautiful music!

Absolute timeless classic from Roxy. Love it👍🏻

Bryan you have made some great songs without a doubt always been a great fan of your music.

Every One Are Playing so Well. Great performes.

Thanks for posting this wonderful performance of a brilliant and timeless song.

A song from RM's golden days. Great lines ("Though the world is my oyster, it's only a shell full of memories")

Look how the cities have changed and see, that nothing remains than memories. There´s no tomorrow and nothing to share than yesterday - of Europe.

"stranded" is such a great album ..... on the original "song for europe" in the ending ferry is just whistling ...

Oh Art is a crystal ball. A true song for Europe today...
