Looking for Blue of Noon

[carolyc]

Hi fellow David Sylvian lovers.

I am trying to find a track called "Blue of Noon" - it was on the B-side of Let the Happiness In.

I have tried to find it online, and buy it legitimately but simply have not had any success - either the files are corrupted or deleted or it won't accept my credit card details etc.

I am reaching out to you all desperately to try to find this song. Someone from this site (Chet) gave me a link before but it was deleted...

Anyone out there able to help me please ?

Thanks !!

[Chet]

i will send it to you

[Bern]

Carolyc, you will be glad you kept looking as it is a beautiful instrumental and well done Chet for sending you it, I stand to be corrected but I believe it has still never appeared on CD and for me is Sakamoto at his finest (strangely Sylvian doesn't even appear on the track)

[carolyc]

Hi Chet and Bern and thanks for replying.

Chet, if you could send it to me that would be FANTASTIC !! My email is carolynmfchan@gmail.com. THANK YOU !

Bern (and Chet) - it's a Sakamoto ??!? How could I not know this ???

Thanks again for enlightening me and sharing !

[Chet]

it's now in your mailbox, via sprend

Chet, without sounding cheesy, you have absolutely MADE MY DAY. I have Blue of Noon playing into my headphones and I simply cannot wipe the smile off my face - it's been so long since I've heard it and I just love it. Thank you again !!

[Chet]

Glad to make you smile
Blue of Noon has made many of my days

[Bern]

Carolcy, hope I haven't misled you the track was composed by Sylvian but the piano is played (rather beautifully by the way) by Sakamoto

[carolyc]

Hi Bern

Thanks for clarifying - I think both of them play piano beautifully

Cheers !

Hi everyone...Just rediscovered ,"Blue of Noon "for the first time in years ,it might have been too much for the teenage me...but now I love it and have listened to it every day for about a month...a masterpiece.

Dunno if anyone has ever seen the JAPAN VH1 documentary from German tv. There is a clip, during the Brilliant Trees sessions with Sylvian showing Sakamoto what he wanted, and Sakamoto playing Blue Of Noon.

could have put a whole lot of other track's on this album, Sleepwalker's 2 anyone
all the best Dougie
