I've been a fan since OJ released You Can't Hide Your Love Forever. I lost track of Edwyn until this song was released and it certainly rekindled my passion for the guy's music! It appears as if we're on the same wavelength, musically, the closer you get to completing this list. Excellent choice!Ian Balentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158723022821101632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-10227563735095592112015-10-08T15:21:58.599-04:002015-10-08T15:21:58.599-04:00Drew and Adam, I have seen some footage of Frame a...Drew and Adam, I have seen some footage of Frame and Collins doing this one. I envy you guys. <br /><br />Swede, Describing this one as an "oldie" is depressing. Feels like yesterday... but it certainly wasn't.<br /><br />Kevinpat and Echorich, I agree with you on the strong Bowie sound on this one. David could have used a little more of this mojo in his '90s work.<br /><br />C, I almost like this live performance better than the studio version. I rarely add video, but I was hoping a few of you would put yourself in my shoes for a moment.<br /><br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-13215590900305821692015-10-07T16:17:28.489-04:002015-10-07T16:17:28.489-04:00I saw Frame do the same at the Manchester gig on t...I saw Frame do the same at the Manchester gig on that tour.

Yes...This one hits deep inside my 90's top 10. Yes it's not the Edwyn Collins any of us would have expected, but one good listen and you know it couldn't be anyone else. But it's a buzzy, deeply confindent, world weary or experienced sounding Collins - maybe this is why his voice is deeper and so grounded.<br />I agree that you'd be lying if you didn't, at least for a moment think this was some new, timely sounding Bowie track - it's all in the voice and swagger.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-37224840486949434042015-10-06T08:33:13.356-04:002015-10-06T08:33:13.356-04:00Every time I heard this song I thought it was Bowi...Every time I heard this song I thought it was Bowie! Catchy as kissing with the flu and a great song from the 90s. I like the Conan performance. Mr. Collins (Edwyn. Gawdforbid not Phil…) can really play those instruments, ringing the life from that guitar. Cool. Bravo. Thanks. There are also some other very snappy songs on that Empire Records soundtrack.kevinpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501873866325216412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-15698863007088122282015-10-06T05:01:28.548-04:002015-10-06T05:01:28.548-04:00As The Swede says!

I've never seen it before today and felt compelled to watch it through twice. Brilliant.<br />'A Girl Like You' was omnipresent on UK radio at that time and is still a regular 'oldie' to this day. It's one of those rare and magic pop songs that ticks boxes for multiple age groups, making its appeal broad.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
