Alain Whyte - The Lazy Sunbathers 

Rediscovered this song via Adam Barrett. Thank you Alain. Thank you Adam.

Phenomenal ❤❤❤

Alain, I read your Facebook post that accompanied this video and want to say: you have been very discreet and professional over the years - that is completely understandable, but can I just reassure you that your reaction to the current circumstances the world finds itself in and the sharing of music & stories here and on Twitter etc has been an absolute revelation. It is just incredibly kind and considerate of you to engage with fans of yourself and Moz in the way you currently are. Your humility and talent shine through always. I was on the Rockabilly scene prior to your Moz days and have followed your work ever since. I get the insecurities that can come from sharing your art, but I can honestly say that you shouldn't stop sharing until you feel that you shouldn't yourself - I suspect your audience will enjoy everything you put your mind to. No ass kissing intended! Please be safe, happy and thank you for all the music that's sound tracked my life for many, many years - nothing but respect for you. Peace.

Very much a ballad about the idea of normalizing viol3nce to th point of all out destruction of the world while the complicit nature of those same lazy sun bathers compels them to look away while, the war goes on. Not much has changed in all these years, few things stay the same but I fear the time for lazy sunbathing are over and the power of the sun shall be let loose upon us. I tell you one thing, Alain turned out to be my Morrissey. I always wanted to meet Moz but never have, strange I got on and come to admire Alain just by sheer charm and approachable nature. Cheers and Hail one and all, be well.

Vauxhall is a world all its own and this is one of its peaks Alain! 🙏🏻🖖🏻

One of my fav 💚💚💚

Lazy Sunbathers, Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself, Hated for Loving ... such great songs from a great album. superb style, thank you.

Que bien suena! Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina

I always hear this song when I'm on the beach, here in Salvador, Brazil. matches a lot. Alain gave Moz the best songs and, well ... to me too. Thanks too much!

Literally crying now :((

♡ the melancholy of this song gets me every time ♡ thank you for then, thank you for now

I absolutely love this song. So good. Thank you Alain.

Another gem to fill my heart: thanks❤️

That was extremely good, thanks for singing these songs with passion

What a beautiful tune! Vauxhall is probably my favourite album from Morrissey! Thank you for the song Alain. Greetings form Portugal

AAAAARRRGGGG!!!! GREAT!! Beautiful song with great lyrics and acid words. I love that part ; "Religions fall Children shelled. Children shelled? THAT´S ALL VERY WELL, but would you Please keep the noise Down low? Because you're waking The lazy sunbathers the lazy sunbathers oh,The lazy sunbathers" And hey Alain ; thanx a lot for the guitar class for beginners like me. Pure ARPEGGIOS master-class. And the most difficult point; your VOICE is great too!! Thanx a lot for this sessions!! Best wishes for you and for all the lazy sunbathers here ,trying to survive COVID 19 and all the hate/racism out there...

Lovely song and lovely playing.

One of my favorite songs

Great guitar and vocals, and a lovely song to melt my heart, thank you Alain 👌

genial como siempre, gracias Alain!

Beautifully played and sung! Hoping you'll do "Hold on to Your Friends" from the same album.

Alain you nailed it! That was off the charts my man! “Vauxhall & I” go way back. Man, what a great album.

Love it

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! ♥️♥️

Alain, thank you so much! Amazing. What a gift you have, and you share it with us!

Love these covers Alain! Any chance you could do King Leer? One of my favorite Moz tracks. And please keep the guitar in frame like on this video, it helps a lot with playing along!

Amazing!!

This is prime time stuff. Such a treat!! Thank you for doing this. Delicate notes followed by delicate words....

Gem of a tune! Bravo Alain!

Such a relaxing song it really puts you at ease!

it hasn't lost it's beauty, like your acoustic version , wonderfull, Thanks Alain.

yes!! perfect for 2020 lazers; apt even We all love you!!! Give us all a heart Sir Alain

Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻

Alain thank you for such an amazing and heartfelt rendition of a classic song from a classic album. You sir have made Covid -19 bearable.

You’re Great! Thanks Alain! 😉

brilliant. thank you Alain.

Great performance Alain!, really sweet version bud. Any chance of doing ' Best friend on the payroll ',plz. Moz singled you out for high praise on that song, saying the way you shadowed the main vocal with yours was the stand out moment on the Southpaw album - but you weren't given the recognition due at the time . Especially the line "more breakfast in bed and I'll bring the paper in later" , well I definitely noticed that mate so you were very appreciated dude I gaurantee that!! - trust me your intertwining vocals were always spot on, that's something Morrissey misses sorely, I can assure you. Anyway thanks mate!

You are a genius.

Beautiful rendition. One of your best vocals of the series so far. Correct me if I’m wrong, but why wasn’t this gem ever played live??

Another wonderful song and rendition. I loved the singing on this, by the way. Great to hear something like this in these crazy times of viruses and human craziness.

Such a great song from Vauxhall. Sadly still apt today but Perfectly done!

Thank you Alain Love it!

Awesome can’t go wrong with Vauxhall and I

ANOTHER beautiful song!

Ohhh thanks!! This is one of my favourites. Severely under-rated. What a beauty. And played like this it exposed a lot of the song structure which... must admit, I kind of overlooked in the album version.

Excellent. How about doing Crushed from the Red Lightning album?

This is beautiful, Alain. It's always been my favourite from Vauxhall. Thank you for writing it and giving us this lovely version.

Another GEM!! Beautifully done! thank you.

Thanks! Always some nice surprise to look forward to and embarrass myself trying to play along to!

One of my absolute favs! Thank you for playing it!

Man, this is amazing, I really can't thank you enough for all these gems you are coming to life again. Through your comments I can tell that your thoughts on Moz are good...would it be too much to ask for some jam-like session with him? Just you, your acoustic guitar and his lovely voice? That would be sooooo freaking awesome...

This is damn near perfect. Thank you.

Excellent and appropriate

I would love to have nothing appearing between ears of God and His Goddess on some little-known island while We are lazily bathing in the sun To~Get~Her!!!

Wonderfull!!

Best one yet, thanks for doing these.

Lovely, any further comment would be superfluous.

❤❤❤

Hi Alain - Can you play SPEEDWAY for us next time? Thank you!

could you play suedehead?

Sublime as ever.... This one really brings back some memories.... Was it ever played live. ??

@ Alain, Was Vauxhall your favorite album to write?

Dude. This is amazing. I hope you are doing well.
