Bill Ryder-Jones - This Can't Go On | A Take Away Show

A Take Away Show with @bryderjones
Shot at Garage d’Abbeville, Quartier Poissonnière, Paris - April 2024

00:00 Intro
00:18 This Can't Go On

A storm was coming so we knew we didn’t have much time. Luckily, the first raindrops fell as Bill Ryder-Jones was putting his guitar back in its case. Eight years ago, we had filmed a Take Away Show with him in an alleyway and the Paris wind had already played its part. We gathered the same team behind the camera and the magic happened once again. 'You've got to get outside, go get some sun / Got to get yourself together because this can't go on'. The gap between Bill's apparent nonchalance and his profound and moving lyrics is as fascinating as ever. The song he played us is a dark yet hopeful one. And its timeless melancholy is even more vivid when stripped down of its orchestral ascension. If you get the impression that Bill is sharing intimacies directly to your ear, just know that you’re not alone!

I nominate Bill for song, album, live act and man of the year. This is spectacular! ❤

Bill Ryder Jones is a dude in my opinion ... this song is raw yet really emotive... Bill mixes in good circles too producing the last two albums by the brilliant Michael Head and the Red elastic band... his latest record is a masterpiece too..Top musician and Producer 👌🙏

Tears well up in my eyes. So beautiful.

Bill’s is album of the year by streets. Saw him do it live at The Barbican last month. Absolute legend! Gruff has just been the man since Fuzzy Logic came out. Seen Super Furries and solo shows from him multiple times. Two of the very best people out there. LOVE PEOPLE!! ❤

Still the best, forever, Thank you Bill

I can totally see myself waking up on a Sunday morning and singing this song to myself--absent the musical ability of Billy.
