beautiful songs like this always bring me back to days of sitting by the veranda, birds chirping, roosters crowing, smell of fresh kampong air, Vinyl records playing in the living room. Neighbors rushing to work, markets or schools and never failing to wave to you as they pass by. Good ole carefree days. Thanks for the memories, Mr Dusty Angel! ;)

glad you like it. Yes, they don't make music like that anymore. I always find this song strongly reminiscent of the following or is it the other way :

This is going really far back to 1973 but I just love this album. It predates Freddie Mercury but has many of the elements that made his songs classics. They use elements of progressive rock, classic rock, blues, R&B, soul with some classical influence. The band's big hit was "Whiter Shade of Pale" but this album has their best music IMO.

 

 

Tonight we sleep on silken sheets 
We drink fine wine and eat rare meats 
On Carousel and gambling stake
Our fortunes speed, and dissipate
It's candlelight and chandelier 
It's silver plate and crystal clear
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand 

Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz
(A golden dish with every wish )
It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes
Dry champagne, and bursting grapes
Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay
Profiteroles and Peach Flambe
The waiters dance on fingertips 
The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz 

One more toast to greet the morn 
The wine and dine have danced till dawn 
Where's my Continental Bride? 
We'll Continental slip and slide 
Early morning pinch and bite - 
(These French girls always like to fight) 
It's serenade and Sarabande
The nights we stay at Hotel Grand 
Les nuits qu'on passe à l'Hotel Grande

sometimes i wake up with nice melodies in my head after a short afternoon nap, this is one good example..don't get why it's not a number one hit.

 

I try to say goodbye and i choke

i try to walk away and i stumble

Though i try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near..
