Taken from Deborah Conway’s String Of Pearls album, released in 1991. Listen to the full album here: WMA.lnk.to/Con... #DeborahConway #ItsOnlyTheBeginning
Look up these other Aussie & NZ songstress from that era if you like Deborah Conway: Jenny Morris, Tina Arena, Wendy Matthews. 3 of my favourite singers from that time.
All four marvellous artists. Add in Kate Ceberano, and Gyan (Evans) and her wonderful 1989 hit, Wait, and debut album. And, of course, Deborah Conway was also the actual vocalist on The Takeaways' 1984 hit, Sweet and Sour, written by Sharon O'Neill, another great Antipodean artist of the 80s.
Deborah is in love. And you can tell she’s in love because she keeps on dropping old Hollywood movie references; “the Lone Ranger couldn’t saddle me with that” “The way you woo me just like Cary Grant.” You can also tell by the way some people think the intro sounds like The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” Errrm… maybe? And you can tell by the way she feels “the passion, to jump from a speeding train” which may be taking it a little too far. Nonetheless, the love is making her feel alive, and the song is brilliant, and it's an 8
From Guardian Australia 'setting the song on a golf course - a playful homage to the classic 1938 Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby'.
Man, some nice dolly & jib moves in this one. Gorgeous costumes, luscious colours. I'm guessing this was shot on 35mm. Sally Bongers was D.O.P. I've been trying to find info about her because she is clearly a talented D.O.P but the trail goes cold after 1992. Any clues/info? Deb, can you help?
I would love her to re-release this again though I think she should switch golf for trugo in the video clip, that quintessential Melbourne sport needs a little cool.
@@TheMotiveDJ Definitely those aspects are striking similarities. The chord progression on its own, no, but yes, I think you certainly have a case there.
The riff sounds like a mashup of Just like heaven and Friday im in love, and this was released between the two. Could be a guitarist heavily influenced, but 90% of the song sounds unique and not Cure like in the slightest, so gets a pass imo
Well yeah, but it's an absolutely stock-standard progression, I V ii IV - almost as common as the "four chord song" form that Axis of Awesome made comedy gold from, and just a variation of that I V vi IV. No one can claim ownership of that.
quite at odds with 'man overboard' and DO RE MI all together 6 years earlier.i always found that strange and this release strange felt it was designed to engage her with the mainstream once again,nice song and well sung but the agenda of this release annoyed me
I think although this song is lovely, the lyrics seem to be about someone who's been stood up after a one night stand. Kind of resonates with Man Overboard.
