I too grew up with him and loved him for his great story telling. I brought ALL his tapes (it was the 80s) - then his wife broke her back and went to hospital (2 young children to care for) Dear ol' Chris had intimate doings with the 16 year ol' baby sitter and now (some 10+ years on) I struggle to forgive him but I know his wife( and the newborn) has?!
I remember this.. a benefit concert for the teenagers that got killed in a fire in a bar at new years eve.. I knew one of the girls that got killed.. she was only 15..
I think it is really professionnel how Chris manages the situation, when he forgets the lyrics. He is just human,like we all are. The song Satin Green Shutters is simply wonderful.
At 2:54 He realizing that he forget how the Song continue.You can see it at his Face :).His reaction when he breaks is a classic "Chris de burgh" comment. *g*
i love chris de burgh went to see him in liverpool in april it was amazing loved him since the early 80's this is my favorite song ever xxxx he never sang it but i will forgive him lol what a wonderful manxxx
Have not heard this song in a long long time, listening to it now brings memories flooding in, Chris De Burgh has written some of the most beautiful and haunting songs of my lifetime and I thank him for that.
@fortyninesteps along time ago we could hear living persons singing!!!not maschines like today!i´ve seen him one time in my live in my hometown cologne!just great!!!!!
I agree with dalesworld... he made some wonderful stuff later, but the stuff that makes your heart tingle in encapsulated in the early ablums..... I would however recommend The Getaway too!
Once i heard his singing the first time he instantly became my favorite artist ever, and now i compare all music to his and i never find anything nearly as close.
Thank you so much, one of Chris's most beautiful songs, holds a very special place in my heart. A trip down memory lane right back to my youth..........where did all those years go???? Can I ask where it was recorded?
I love this song and I love Chris.

Why did he ever manage to write "Lady in Red" when he could write songs like this. One of my all time favourite songs.

Up to Crusader his albums were just about perfect. I thought I'd miss the mellotron at first but stripped down like this is stunning.
