I wish I could say that I was originally introduced to this song by the original Tim Buckley version, but not so much. This song does however mean a ton to me because of the This Mortal Coil version from 1984′s “It’ll End In Tears” (that version was used excellently in the film version of The Lovely Bones)
With that said. Bryan Ferry brings together a group of luminaries to this chill out anthem. Guitar Heros David Gilmour and Johnny Greenwood offer lush guitar soundscapes. Nile Rodgers holds down his smooth grooves ( not to be confused with smooth jazz) Roxy Music add the synths and the synths are good! This track definitely would have been comfortable on that Avalon album from 1981.
