There’s a sincerity and honesty in the lyrics I once found so profound I thought the guys were singing it for me No matter how you came to enjoy The Small Faces they remain a gift Maturity and craft way beyond their years at the time they wrote and cut their stuff They are timeless incredibly influential and probably more relevant now than the heyday
It's 3 am and I've been searching deep dive into this song. I think this is not actually Mike Stepheinson's 1971 original version but the 1981 version by Rusty Egan and Jean-Philippe Iliesco. The 71 version has guitars playing the main melody and this one, the 81 version, features more piano and those amazing electrónic drums that we hear in Beastie Boys' B-Boy Bouilliabaisse (along with the Burundi tribe percussion). I like both versions but this one is my favorite. Man, the world of music is amazing.
I think I love all the Small Faces songs. The band really hits my musical sweet spot. Steve's vocals are so awesome. He had the pipes. I wish he had not died so early in his life in that fire at his house. Miss you Steve Marriott miss you...
I completely agree. This is my favorite song today. Tomorrow - another, or another... Their music was so varied and unique and each song perfect. Miss them.
On reconnaît la touche finale d un grand musicien de studio français Michel Bernholc, alias Mike Steiphenson, qui avait créé au début des années 70 le groupe Pachyderm. Je me souviens de son passage en 1969 sur Europe n 1 pour présenter son dernier 45 tours. De grands chanteurs ont eu recours à son talent, notamment Michel Delpech. Quelle inspiration ! Merci Monsieur. RIP.
I read somewhere that this great track got its name when the small faces stumbled out of the studio after an all-nighter. The engineer said 'What shall i call it?', one of the boys replied: 'Ahh, call it something nice!!'
UFO Flying one Hour Space Rock is so Underrated!! Brilliant jam sessions through out......Mick Bolton was amazing..I love Michael Schenkers playing in latter years too...I guess it was meant to be. I still play this to this day
Mick Bolton left a huge gap in the guitar world when he stepped down ... He wasn't technically the best player but I loved the compositions, the sound and the atmosphere he was creating - just epic :-) I am still wondering what he is doing ...
