Someone in another thread described this song as sneaky. I have to agree, the changes in the arrangements really are. On the first listen, I was about halfway through before I checked to see if it was the same song. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. | |

A clunker, the worst track on the album. Cheesy, cheesy cabaret/Broadway style horns and arrangement makes this a very embarassing track and a painful listen. It is not on my playlist. | |

Are you deaf? No way Liv sounds like that (as much as I love her). That is skillful scat by an expert. Change it one more time.. | |

This REALLY reminds me of when General Midi synths came out and you'd get somebody tracking famous tracks by artists and creating midi files and then you could stick them in your rack of samplers and synth modules, the latest ultra-tech and mix it out to seventeen speakers with 24 bit resolution and out would come...
something like this
except it's not a midi file played by samples and synths but by real musicans. With rhymes added authomatically by in this case human algorithms which have stored all the rhymes and come out with them in such a way that they wouldn't upset a ferret. And it's all so pretty
and super-tragic.
I like it when it sort of becomes an instrumental halfway through.

Strange 40~50 sec silence at the end. I wonder why he put it.. maybe a mistake. I thought at least a hidden track with some bantering etc. would play at my first listen but nothing. So disappointed. Other than that it's a good song, addictive. [Edited 12/14/15 23:57pm] | |

I wasn't keen on the live Montreux versions, thought it was a bit Broadway/cabaret but I'm loving the joyfulness of it now. I was just blasting this driving to work singing, clapping and giving it the jazz hands like a right imbecile | |

Tell me about it! I was there in Montreaux, almost the whole show was cabaret style horns instead of funky horns, I was gutted. Apart from Shades of Umber that show belonged on a cruise boat somewhere. What a wasted trip that was.
I can't get past the cheesiness but glad you can enjoy Big City on some level though. | |

Love this track, a great party closer like 3121's get on the boat. Everyone gets a line or two here and I love those Jazzy horns, very James Brown style party music. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

I really wanted to have the studio version of this song and I'm glad we finally got it, I love it. The instrumental breakdown in the second have is great. | |

a very weak 'Get off the Boat' and I'm not even a fan of Get off the Boat | |

I'm fully aware of the cheese factor of this one, and I totally understand why certain people wouldn't like it. I find it charming and fun. The horns on the breakdown are sick as hell. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |
