This takes me back. One of the greatest live bands I've ever seen. Town & Country in Kentish Town 1988 was my first time aged 17. I still don't think I've ever lost so much sweat in 1 night!!
Such a great talent this man, sadly missed. RIP Stu
We lay the night in anguish Snakes drawn out by the tide The compass of decision Falls always on one side But many went before us And still the cries are clear There is no beauty here Just the stench of wine and beer We save no souls We break no promises We can do nothing more than move Headlong through the gloom The thorn between our lips Is the missionaries tune
Men with open arms Turn their faces half away Observe as we approach We have not come to save We stand as thick as vines Though the fruit is torn away There is no beauty here friends Just death and dark decay We save no souls We break no promises We save no souls We break no promises
1986 they were at their peak shame The Seer wasn't that good after The Crossing and Steeltown. Steve Lillywhite should have produced it instead of Robin Millar.
@aarlevanbram the seer is an incredible album just as good as the crossing, steeltown, or the wonderland ep for that matter...i don't think you can second-guess true artistry like this
theie music makes me feel creative like I want to shop at Bachrachs or wear vests with a white rayon shirt and loose plaid pants u kno what I mean. Oddly specific huh.
Got a chance a few years back to chat with Bruce,Tony and Mark on the website......was really cool to be able to talk to them....They are like normal people and very friendly and approachable.............Sure miss Stu..........
Love this song. I was so sad about a.s. death. I lived in hawaii for a long time and I googled the hotel he was found dead in, and it made me sad for three days straight.
Usually those guys with big drum sets remind of my stupid showy neighbor,with his crazy monster truck lawn mower with all the add on accesories...but Brezhnev has a cool musical style and puts them all to good use.

I ain´t agree. I think The Seer is one of the best Big Country albums . The production was incredibly good. It has taken Big Country till nowadays
