This was the ....time they wouldn't ...even play....1 song of this.......likley because they're performed all this stuff like servants to very few fans then.....
This is my all time favourite Sparks song. For just over 2 minutes, it's so full of energy, totally bonkers, manic & dare I say it...yes, futuristic. I was 16 when 'Indiscreet' came out in '76, the 3rd album on Island records, & I still can't understand for the life of me why this wasn't a first single from that album. If they'd have released this instead of 'Get In the swing' & then 'Looks Looks, Looks' I think they would have definitely had a longer run of hits in the 70's. A real lost opportunity in my opinion. This so totally rocks. I would play it non stop, going crazy (without cocaine) dancing around the living room & had it blaring, (when the folks were out of course). Never seen this performance before though either even if it is mimed. A great memory, Best band ever!!
Lyrics T's winter, it's raining You're tired, she's fainting You're bitter, she's brooding But don't be disenchanted Cause you can barley stand it The sweep and the grandeur The scope and the laughter The future, the future The future's got it covered With what will be discovered In the future fun is fun In the future, lots of sun I'll be there, it's up to you You'll be there if you don't do nothing foolish You'll love it, I know it I know what you like and You'll love it, I know it We'll need some vintage vino So wash you feet and stamp away Coming soon and everywhere Everyone will walk on air Now it seems so far away But each day it's getting closer and closer Convenience and pleasure All blended together And culture, and madness You think you've seen it all You've seen it all exept the future
Convenience and pleasure all blended together, years before mobile phones and lap tops, they've always been ahead of their time. Coming soon and everywhere, everyone will walk on air, believe it, lol!
@@danmalone7649 I guess a majority of studio recordings were made that way. Which pissed the bands/artists off, and some didn't even pretend to sing in the mike. The TV studios had to shape up and focus on their own sound equipment, to make it easier to record live AND get a good sound.
I love this track, I would love some one to post LOOKS LOOKS LOOKS as featured on BBC Top of the POPS 1975 or Sparks on TIswas 1975/6 It's out there somewhere?
He has admited he's addictive to coffee. With his energy (adhd ??😂) too much caffeine could cause the same effect. (Yeah, I am entitled to make jokes about adhd, as having the diagnosis. If you have adhd a regular 9-5 office job isn't ideal, that isn't what the Mael brothers have had. That doesn't mean I am trying to diagnose either of them!! 😁 No way!)
@@phil-ys3cf , according to both of the brothers and those who have known them for decades, never. No reason not to believe them. I doubt both would still be so healthy, energetic and creative well into in their seventies if they were drug users.
