Donald Fagen - Century's End

One of the greatest compositions ever. And the movie was also the worst when it came to casting the actors.

This is the shortened version fyi. It should be over 5 min long like it is on Fagens channel.

Great song for the end of
Bright Lights, Big City.

Century's End
Donald Fagen

これを初めて聴いたのは中２でした。マイケルJフォックスの映画の宣伝で…。都会的・虚無的な曲の雰囲気に惹かれ曲も聴いたし、映画の原作を読んだりしました。一生懸命歌詞も覚えました。社会人になってからカマキリアドか何かの公演でスティーリーダンが来日して、コンサートに行けたのが思い出です。
フェイゲン氏にはいつまでもお元気でいてほしいです。

The harmonic player is off the hook

I love the power with which the organ comes in - deng! Great song !

Love he video
Highly underrated song. One of my favorites if his. Perfect for the movie “Bright lights, Bog City.”. The song only appears once in the closing credits. It would have been better included i. the club scenes. One issue is so many people get the lyrics wrong. For example, it’s “ scratch the cab , we can catch a local” but look at some lyrics searches! Does anyone have a live version? I’ve never heard it live and I’ve seen him in concert years ago. He never sang it.
Thank you for posting

The Nightfly is one of my favorites and never heard this one before. What a pleasant surprise

This song really captures the feeling of life in the 80s.

Myself+ many others wish you better health Donald.
GET WELL SOON.

Love this song...
Reminds me of the time I spend living in NYC, love it . Truly an adventure every day..lol

harmonica is very toots theilman ,, lyrics so evocative so good so she zeros in on you,, which means look maybe touch.. cant get this song out of my head , perfection as always ,, and to think when they started out all those years ago donald fagen was a lyrisist and never intended to be a frontman vocalist ,imagine if we never heard him as a singer what a tragety that would have been

Good Jazz

I remember when this song came out there was a lot of buzz because Steely Dan have been on hiatus for years.

Sometimes I lose sight of myself, then I listen to Donald Fagen and I’m like, oh yeah, this is who I am

I’ve been a fan of steely Dan and Donald Fagen for 30 years since I saw and taped the movie Heavy Metal on Cinemax and bought the albums

I need dan therapy for the severe pain my ass depression that I'm going through, someone please write me a dan therapy playlist, I'd appreciate it!

The man is a musical genius. It is as simple as that

I woke with this song in my head out of nowhere. My brain is a jukebox of music but I don’t always get to chose the song. In this case my brain made an excellent choice

I first heard in the movie it was in and knew immediately it was DF

Credits to ​Rob Mounsey, for the arrangement and the aesthetics. I was born in the 90s, I am sure modern music will turn to this as a reference for a musical movement.

An amazing song by Donald Fafen. Seriously underaged. A masterpiece for its and all time. Insightful… “we just suit up for a game…this kids got the eye, call it pirate radar... So timeless! I’d like to actually have a list of all of the lyrics of this. The ones on the Internet are incorrect.

Timeless

This song and this video are so very evocative of the late '80s for me.

Those trucks in the street....is it really Monday....Time to find some trouble again.....!!!

Jeff Porcaro's Groove Damn RIght?

This kid's got some Talent, give him time and I'm sure he'll get better

great song

The song and video both capture the late 1980s -- gaudy, jaded, celebrating itself but afraid of commitment.

Some of the saddest lyrics ever

love this Video, and the Music...... Ahhh..

I thank my dad for introducing me to this kind of music :)

This song always takes me back to April 1988, when “Bright Lights Big City” was released. Nice job by the video directors, portraying 2 examples of 80s vapidity.

THose were the days when music had melody lyrics you heard, and able to dance to. I loved tthe 80s , you dressed up for the evening and danced the night away.

Wish I was there....back in the 80's..life was easier...😘😘😘

Does anybody suffer from a rare but very pleasant experience when listening to SD or DF which I call “ Dan Therapy “ Wherever I am or whoever I’m with night or day their music lifts me to a different plain. I can’t stand still or not sing the lyrics. It just makes me feel great. No more psychoanalysts required just
their music.

I love this song 💕 Thanks for bringing me so much pleasure Donald Fagen

Who's the actress?

Thanks to you Don for giving us great music and growing old with us. You and Walter have alot to be proud of. Gonna miss him up there with you.

Oblique references to AIDS in the beginning and the end.

One of my favorite things I ever worked on with Donald

Love this
