More than This (Roxy Music song)
"More than This" is a 1982 single by the British band Roxy Music. It was released as the first single from their final album, ''Avalon'', and is the group's last Top 10 UK hit (peaking at #6). Although it only charted at #102 in the United States, it remains one of their best-known singles there. The American alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs released a successful cover version in 1997 which peaked at #25 and British singer Emmie released a dance cover version which went one place higher in the UK charts (#5) in January 1999.
==Composition==
Written by Bryan Ferry, the lead singer has stated in interviews that he began writing the songs for Avalon while on the western coast of Ireland, which he believes contributed to the dark melancholy of the album. The lyrics describe a passive protagonist, to whom things happen, instead of actively participating in the world.
"More than This" is somewhat unusual for a pop song in that Ferry's lead vocals end at 2:45 minutes, leaving the last 1:45 minutes as a synthesizer-driven instrumental. The song also contains lead guitar work by Phil Manzanera.
