For Awhile - Tony Banks (1979) HQ Audio Remaster HD Video

"For Awhile" was released in the fall of 1979 on Tony Banks' debut solo album, A Curious Feeling. I was big into Genesis during the mid-late 70's and picked up this record immediately upon it's release as I always thought Tony Banks was played some of the most beautiful keyboard I'd ever heard. I was not disappointed and found the album very enjoyable...."For Awhile" is a really beautiful tune....I love it still....hope the vid finds it a few new fans....and that those familiar with it find it a new enjoyable presentation.

As usual HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art made this new art possible....THANK YOU!!! and THANK YOU for watching and supporting the vids. Please give it a comment and like if would....it's such a drag to make videos to compete with "videos" that are really just an album cover set to music! ;-)

[Lyrics]
I feel it leading me
Away to I don't know where
I might be back someday
But the people and things will change
And no one will remember me then

Don't need no sympathy
For soon I'll forget everything
I feel it fading now
And I see in the eyes of my love
Tears for how it might have been

It sure felt good for a while
Yes, it was good for a while
I found somebody to take my hand
To the promised land of the loved

Now as the night draws in
A dark with no promise of dawn
I feel my eyes grow dim
As I see in the eyes of my love
Tears for how it might have been

It sure felt good for a while
Yes, it was good for a while
I found somebody to take my hand
To the promised land of the loved

Yes, it was good for a while
It sure felt good for a while
I found somebody to take my hand
To the promised land of the loved

Jon  Nice song. Very enjoyable treatment. I especially like the use of the triptych ( triple screen). Reminds me of the film Woodstock.  --John

Beautiful video, Jon. I'm a big Genesis fan also, and Tony Banks is just fantastic. You're not the only one who absolutely loves 70's music...all of my absolute favorite tunes are from that period. Music will never be the same! Thumbs up, Guru!

I am just commenting on all your video's in general.I love all of them!, because of alot of them are obscure tracks and the quality of them, and the inventiveness you use on each particular song.For me it's like your advertising the artist and their music.I always wanted to be a promoter. Again love your work. Rock On✌.Just 1 last thought, think you could do a video for Wings Treat Her Gently Lonely Old People?That's a big fave of a friend of mine and mine. 🎶

**For Awhile - Tony Banks (1979) HQ Audio Remaster HD Video** - So beautiful song - tune, beat, verses (a little bit bitter ones) combined with serene visual background, doesn't matter that is for a while... MetalGuruMessiah, thank you brother!
