Evocative song with evocative film. David Sylvian at his best.

Just went for fish & chips and found red plastic in the food, with the female workers looking sheepish, takes me back to a workplace where some black substance entered my mug from dispenser, then the mug was stolen and missing. The message is why have criminal intent and thought in the first place, this is not normal practice. Respect of an individual is very important, unfortunately there are many characters out there lacking basic principles and lifestyles.

Oh yes i remembered this magic time I saw the Band in 1988 Cologne what a night

40 years today. Thank you, David.

22 giugno 2024 e sono ancora qua

bellissima

Hard to believe David was only 25 yo when he started recording this beautiful music. It sounds like a work from a more matured artist

Meraviglioso brano e album . E, per me, Sylvian è un autentico gigante !

In the top ten best albums of all time just my opinion though

this is art....

being 61 I was right there loving Japan, Bowie previously, Lindsay Kemp. I played trumpet / french horn to grade 8 level. I think life was better then honestly. Taylor Swift ffs. x

I'm so in love I want to puke. I'm fuckin well up the Pole listening to this😂

Breathtaking beautiful

Canção perfeita.

Now Yearbook ‘88 Extra has bought me here

I loved David Sylvian solo stuff after Japan.

Un elfo mandato. Da dio

April 2024 and as I unpack after a traumatic house move I find all my Japan and David Sylvian LP's - all bought for me by my Dad. Haven't listened to Japan or lovely David in years....educating my daughter as I type and thinking of my dear Dad ❤️❤️❤️. What a man & musician....both David & my Dad. xxx

🖤 sólo él.

私がこのアルバムを手に入れたとき、私は13歳でした。 彼はこのPVの撮影で穴に埋められて、笑いをこらえるのに大変苦労したらしい、とのエピソードを音楽番組で見たのを覚えています。 私は今51歳ですが、まだこのアルバムを聴いています。

such a great track

The changes in key are subtle yet stunning. Such a fantastic artist.

What a genius David Sylvian was, and of course Mick Karn too, the uniquely innovative bass player in his band, Japan.

You may ask me, why do I fail, just when I'm needed? 😔

One of the most stunningly moving (and musically sophisticated) 'pop songs' of All Time!…

Oh man i love this record so much , in my all time fave top ten. The video is wonderful too.

All' epoca ero troppo piccolo per apprezzare la musica dei japan. Da adulto, Con la sua musica ho fatto il percorso all' inverso: iniziando da Sakamoto, poi i suoi album da solita per arrivare alla fine ai Japan

i'v never heard this the video is beautiful

Wow The most beautiful song ever ❤

Standing firm on this stony ground The wind blows hard, pulls these clothes around I harbour all the same worries as most The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost I wrestle with an outlook on life That shifts between darkness and shadowy light I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear But Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the world Sunlight falls, my wings open wide There's a beauty here I cannot deny And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs Are just so many people I knew never cared Down below on the wreck of the ship Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side Tell me, I've still a lot to learn Understand, these fires never stop Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing Sleepers sleep as we row the boat Just you, the weather, and I gave up hope But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps Was fuel for the fire and straw for our backs Still, the voices have stories to tell Of the power struggles in heaven and hell But we feel secure against such mighty dreams As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring Tell me, I've still a lot to learn Understand, these fires never stop Please, believe, when this joke is tired of laughing I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing

it's just like piece of heaven🌷

My bff has a good taste in music and she recommended this song to me , I love her sm and I love this song too💕everytime I listen to this song it’s reminde of her:))

Mesmerizing♡♡

Cantata

He's a genius

Well that didn't end well did it? 'Do us a favour, Your one and only warning.. Please be gone by morning..'.

I think that' s the best Song EVER. This Song Is EVERYTHING to me. The LOVE and the BEAUTY he spreaded into this .....among many other songs of him...but them doesn't belong to him, they can't. This is an inspiration that comes from ABOVE , from BEYOND. From OTHER plans of the existence. Of being. And he channelled all this wonderful experience happened in the HIGHEST plans into a song ..... that makes all of us feel completely transfixed and deeply moved, THANK YOU ❤️. This is ETERNAL.❤️

Io lo adoro ❤

Aw, man, that sax solo. Just beautiful. Is it Mel Collins?

Eccomi. Eccoci.

I remember listening to this while travelling on a bus on a desolate, bleak, snowy winter’s day in the 80s. Absolutely blew me away.

A truly complete artist 👌🔝

I wasn't a fan of Japan but decided to buy Brilliant Trees on release. A truly great album that stands the test of time. Sometimes greatness goes unnoticed.

I think might be that he's a recluse

Indulge some still time...

one of those songs that are timeless. could have been made in 2023 as well. luckily it was made in the Eighties when I was young and this song never left me till today. actually it will never left me I guess.
