BOWIE VS. ROXY

ROXY MUSIC - IF THERE IS SOMETHING (.MP3) (GUITAR VS. SAX)


I.T.I.S.: A country sound beginning, with a honky tonk style piano and twangy guitar,
later to be mixed with Ferry singing a couple of nonchalant and jocular verses.

Then battle between guitar and saxophone - Ferry's vocals re-enters to provide a few fraught vocal climaxes.

(Fun Fact: The lyrics includes a mention of passion for potatoes.)

After this the instrumental motifs return, finally giving way to an emotional end section where Ferry's impassioned and melancholy vocals are set on top of a lush blend of backing vocals and the mellotron "three violins" tape set.

Roxy's greatest? No doubt about it!
