Roxy Music 'More Than This'

The story behind the Roxy Music song 'More Than This' starts with the band's frontman Brian Ferry. Growing up in Newcastle, England, Ferry's parents wanted him to become a lawyer, but he had other plans. He developed a passion for music and would often distribute the famous magazine Melody Maker to immerse himself in the industry. He later formed Roxy Music, a band known for their blend of rock, pop, and art, with Ferry as the lead singer and songwriter. 'More Than This' was written by Ferry in the early 80s, as he was going through a tumultuous time in his personal life. It was inspired by the idea of wanting something more in a relationship, and the haunting melody captures the melancholic sentiment perfectly. In this podcast episode, we'll explore the story behind the song, the inspiration behind the lyrics, and the impact it had on Roxy Music's career.Hosted by Ausha.
