Bryan Ferry, master of sensuality, camaraderie, elegance, sex, and musical eroticism. He has been captivating for 35 years without the passage of time.
After a spectacular finale with Roxy Music, with the release of "Avalon" where we can extract a gem like "More Than This," and the release of various solo albums, in 1985, Ferry embarked on a unique creation worthy of his personality: "Boys and Girls," a reflection of "Avalon," but personalized single, where he showcases an exaltation of the feminine beauty he has always been surrounded by, with great splendor of gentlemanliness coupled with seduction, translating the sound into a warm and clean rhythm, the same sensation one feels when looking at the photographs of Helmut Newton.
The subsequent albums will be in the same good "Ferry" style, but I recommend "Boys and Girls" more than all the others, it is ideal to listen to in good company, but also when you are alone, when you want to find a boost to your inner self, male or female.
For this album, he collaborated with excellent musicians, from the legendary Tony Levin to Marcus Miller to Mark Knopfler to David Gilmour and Brian Eno.
If you want to try something you’ve lost over the years gone by and along the way in the usual chaos and daily hustle and bustle, if you want to find a strong and clear drive, of class and refinement, if you want to find epidermal-sentimental emotions, then don’t miss "Boys and Girls" and anyway, children in tow…
You’ll see that after the first listen, you won’t be able to stop yourself from listening to it again and again both in good times and less good times, in cold moments and in… warm ones, because it will be intriguing and "exciting."
So turn up the volume wherever you are, close your eyes, relax, and let yourself be carried away and… you’ll let me know…
Tracklist Lyrics Samples and Videos
01 Sensation (05:07)
(Ferry)
Never seem to touch
I didn´t feel enough
Motivation
Then I heard you call
Then I need it all
Never been in love
Never needed much
Complication
Then I hear you call
And I need it all
Where beat goes on
There you´ve been and gone
When I hear your name
Will I feel the same
Sensation
02 Slave to Love (04:26)
Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
And there's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
No-I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
04 A Waste Land (01:01)
(Ferry)
When love´s gone
There´s no one
A waste land
A ghetto
When love´s gone
A tear on
A waste land
Your pillow
05 Windswept (04:33)
(Ferry)
Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand
Oh baby show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore
Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I´m feeling swept away
Oh baby don´t leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept on the air
You say it´s nothing
But a game to play
Oh I´m feeling swept away
Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is on the tide
A feeling only or state of mind
You can take me high mama
Mama take me high
07 Valentine (03:48)
(Ferry)
Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he´s on the line
Happiness - hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of them will ever guess
But you understand
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
Tell me something I must know
I´m outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
