The Big O in Britain Page #6

He just touches me with his voice.

# I thought that I was over you... #

One of the things I like about his songwriting and his lyrics

is that I think, ultimately,

he's letting his guard down.

All his songs, I think... I'd be made up to write any song like that.

But it would have to be my favourite, Crying. I'd love to have written that song. Amazing.

# For you don't love me... #

That made a lot of sense to me, writing songs. Let your personality out.

That's been quite a strong influence on myself.

# Crying over you... #

I'm totally amazed that so many artists today

still use Roy as their inspiration.

Well, I guess...

Rarrrr!

# Pretty woman, stop a while

# Pretty woman, talk a while... #

The way he was and the way he sang made him dead cool.

He was cool, all right. He was very cool.

My lasting memory of Roy will be him walking down the stairs coming to dinner.

All of us were already down.

So looking at Roy in his black shirt, black trousers and his dark glasses.

We all watched Roy coming down the staircase.

It was like, "Wow!" You know, The Big O.

# Only the lonely

# Know the way I feel... #

At the very end, when he was asked how he wanted to be remembered,

he paused for a minute and he said,

"Hm. I just would like to be remembered."

# There goes my baby

# There goes my heart... #

Rock'n'roll has this image

of...of rebel music.

And, er...

And in some sort of juvenile quarters, in which I'd include myself,

we often... that's often a licence for rudeness.

You know? Or egocentric behaviour, you know?

But actually the real rebels to me always had manners.

This man who had written such extraordinary songs

and a real innovator in popular music,

and, you know, truly a great, great singer,

would be, you know, humble.

# I'm going back some day Gonna stay on Blue Bayou... #

I will always try to do the same, but I doubt

if I could match his courteous self.

# Ah, that girl of mine by my side

# Silver moon and the evening tide... #

A simple guy who had incredible talent who just worked at his craft.

If I even get remotely close to his legacy, I'd be a happy guy.

#..happen in my dreams

# Only in dreams

# In beautiful dreams.

# Still missing you California Blue

# Still missing you

# California Blue

# Still missing you

# California Blue! #
