Bryan Ferry - As the World Turns (1977)

I have a very rare Japanese Bryan Ferry EP that includes this song. It was re-released in 1995 on the Mamouna EP for Japan. The EP includes 1. Mamouna ( Radio Edit) 2. The 39 Steps ( Eno Mix)
3. As The World Turns 4. Four Letter Love
5. Broken Wings 6. Is Your Love Stong Enough 6. Jealous Guy ( Live Version) .
Not many of those around and I was lucky enough to get this gem.

Why is this unavailable? Soi glad to hear this again after 15 years

Yes, it is reminiscent of Song For Europe, isn't it? I think it's the piano. I don't think it has that indefineable 'something' that SFE has though. It's rather 'old fashioned' in style. I also agree that the Fripp inerlude doesn't work.

Yes "Song For Europe" came to my mind too. I can see why it was left off "In Your Mind" though. Very different mood.

Are there other examples of Ferry with Fripp? I'm a big fan of both but I'm not sure the Fripptronic section really works for this song. Fine for the intro though.

This song is probably the best of example of what I like to call melancholy romantic rock. The German influence is very evident. It reminds me of " A Song For Europe ". This song also is co-written by Edwin Jobson. This should have been an album track instead of being relegated to a B-side single.
