I saw this film when I was a teen. The clothes in this film, the makeup, the interesting characters...such a fun ride. I have such fond, magical memories of that time. This song in particular brings me such lovely memories ❤
Velvet Goldmine, with Christian Bale, Ewan McGregor and John Rhys Meyers its a rock n roll film a fictional story about glam rockers, based loosely on Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Iggy Pop (One of the original Stooges plays in the Ratz, the Stooges' imitation band and they play T.V.Eye, a Stooges song...Its pretty good.Great soundtrack, costumes nominated for an Oscar.
This was the era of my teens with Marc Bolland witjh T-Rex posters. Velvet knickers, metallic boots, platform shoes and sparkly makeup. Our antics allowed those from the LGBT closet to come out without condemnation. Men started acting and looking gallant. I'm still a sucker for that look.
Raise your hand if you just ordered the Velvet Goldmine CD used even though you owned multiple copies back in the day because this track’s not available on streaming 🙋🏻♀️
Great songs, had the album back in cd days lol... now I can’t find it on iTunes or Amazon music! Oh well, I’ll walk from a starship over Venus to the Sun now!
Awesome tune!! After having seen Velvet Goldmine. All I did think of this sound. I ordered Shudder To Think's CD from across the sea for the first time.
Now matter how amazing you think T.O.P is, I can assure you that he's not even half as fantastic as Velvet Goldmine. You peeps who haven't seen the movie yet - WATCH IT.
Well you're the grand wild Have you noticed When you walk in, all the fairy boys are Pale and nervous Well my starship doesn't want me And neither does this world I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, Sailor You're the grand Wilde Come and court me Cause this wooing is what I'm wanting When my spacesuit comes to warm me And hold me like a god I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell Everywhere I see your faces Hot one From my starship over Venus to the sun But it's a crime! Your mistaken! A momentary seizure of love Oh, love Well you're the grand wild But darling, I'm a mess I've got to humanize my wrinkled form But the boys are not impressed When my spaceship comes to orbit Just hold me like a girl I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell I see your faces in the strangest places Hot one From the starship over Venus to the sun But it's a crime! You're mistaken! Momentary seizure of love Hot one From a starship over Venus to the Sun But it's a drag! You're so mean! Destroying my belief in, in love Oh, love
I thought he was saying "well, you're the great one...have you noticed? when you walk in all the feted boys get nervous"...like the court of concubines saw someone who outshone them? Maybe too baroque. Such a dope song.
i love this song for such a long time... It was such a surprise seeing that T.O.P put this song on his playlist.. Just probes how much Tabi knows about amazing music :D
Cool Indie band contributes to a soundtrack of a glam rock movie. When I saw Velvet Goldmine I thought it's a 70's tune...brilliant stuff (the song not the film)
@MrsShiningMimi well u and me both... When i saw that song i was like *facepalm* Beyonce XS But all the other songs where in my playlist a long time ago ;D
I agree that Adam Lambert may not be glam rock, but his songs aren't bad at all, at least in my opinion. I heard him singing live and I must admit that he is an amazing vocalist. Anyway, this song is pure gold and the movie too, one of the best I've ever watched in my life.
@@cheyenneeagle4815 - I just checked the interview with Todd Haynes in the Velvet Goldmine published screenplay. Yes, you're right. Jonathan also sings 'Sebastian.'
