Roxy Music ~ Jealous Guy (Remastered)

Roxy Music added the song to their European setlist in December 1980 as a tribute to John Lennon, who was murdered in New York on 8 December 1980. “We were due to play a show in Germany at a big arena,’ Bryan said. “We thought we should do something special because we were all John Lennon fans."

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eye
I thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
~ John Lennon

Could just about cry, listening to this. Not cool for a retired soldier, right?

I heard this version before I heard the John's original, I personally think this is one of the few songs that is way better than the original,

Whoever did the original electric guitars on this studio version (with the guitars overdubbing) was a harmonics genious. No life performance comes close to the mastery of this original shimmer reverb and chorus sound overlaping with chord progresions. The bass is also very different on the original here, compared to live performances. Makes me wonder if any studio musicians did this recording 1981 at the time. It was actualy very popular to do that back then. A masterpiece that will endure eternity!

I prefer the original by Lennon, but this is the best cover ever of it!

When a covers way better than the original but then it is BF.
