    hugs,

    ya bro, Ian

  • @blertoly .....So, picture the scene. There's a windswept guy, stood on a bleak mountain peak. There's an ink black sky above him. Rain is falling, in sheets as thick as lead. Lightning is streaking across the sky. The thunderclaps are deafening.

    He's wearing Ripped Jeans, and a tattered black Tshirt. He's holding his arms out wide, looking up into the maelstrom. His eyes are closed, his face serene. He's smiling.

    That's how this song makes me feel. It defies any other explanation.

  • yes, here we go and thank you for sharing this great in a big country pure mix, 12 inch remix.

    'Dreams stay with you'

  • @sunshinerayday hi there. Thanks for watching. Stuart took his own life many years ago. A shame as he was a fantastic song wtiter and singer

  • Anyone know what album this was on? I'm currently requesting iTunes add it and they need that info

  • @caffn8me the album is called "The Crossing "........ their first album made in 83

  • total rock at its finest

  • @otommyoparre damn sure mate. Thank you for watching. Take care

  • R.I.P. Stuart Adamson..........you ARE still the BEST!

  • @Mustang12571 thanks for watching 

  • Comment removed

  • very nice

    

  • @ameng316 thank you

  • Another Hit from the nostalgic 80's!! / no1

  • @aNdyVhee damn sure............ These 4 were the best

  • This sounds to me like the Steve Lillywhite 12inch remix version, very rare and on vinyl only, as far as I am aware. Thank you so much for uploading this!

  • @themattygee glad you enjoyed the song n thanks for watching

  • I have been trying to find the Pure Mix of this song for ages. I have a really obscenely low quality MP3 taken off of a cassette. Thankfully this is an amazing quality recording you seem to have. :D

  • @dvsbstrd hi there, ty for watching and you can get the 12inch version on cd. I burned the disc to comp.

  • This could very well be the best song from the 80's, at least to me?

    Never get tired of listening to it. Never!

    Stay alive.

  • @n8tureboy i agree, the song is awesome n back then BC used to like mixing it up on 12 inch disc. ty for watching

  • Thanks for this, I used to have it on vinyl when I was a stupid teenager and prolly left the box to melt in the attic. Back then girls and friends were more important than worrying about my record collection. Now I rethink that order, all of 'em go away eventually LOL.

  • @6irondriver lol, so true mate. Luckily i still have all my vinyl BC songs and cd's too. I bought a turn table a few years back to plug into my cd system so i can listern away for hours. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care

  • @6irondriver

    I can totally relate. I have a stack of LP's languishing away in an attic myself. I too have rethought the order of things.

  • Sorry Stuart wrong spelling!

  • @jace7 no worries over the spelling, thanks for coming back though

  • Pure perfection thankyou lots and R.I.P Stewart very sadly missed!!

  • @jace7 . missed indeed, thanks for watching

  • This remix just rocks. it definitely showcases the music talents of this band. Best band of my youth and still my favorite band 25+ years later.

  • @mickaweapon hey Mick, ty for watching buddy n how the hell are ya these days ? yeah my fav band to buddy, always have been, always wil be. thanks for watching and sharing your words with me.

  • Did this version ever appear on an album?

  • @jts1976 the extended version wasn't on the album.

    thanks for watching

  • This is by far the BEST version of the song I reckon! I bought the Big Country (tape/cassette in those days) and this was on it as well as an extended "Fields of Fire". I thought "wow this is wicked stuff - all that drumming and guitars - which I thought sounded liked bagpipes". Thanks for this 12" posting, it's just got to be heard LOUD.
