  • Talent like Stuarts doesnt come round enough in our music world 8-( RIP

  • boyz ll men do an awesome version of this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • love big country

  • I saw Big Country play live 4 or 5 times in the 80's - what an amazing band and what a talent in Stuart Adamson! How ironic he says' 'Stay Alive' at the end - how we wish you had Stu! R.I.P.

  • stay alive stuart.R.I.P.

  • the best song they done

  • So take a good look at my face, I'm greetin missing the Big Big Country

  • listen to this takes me back when me and a couple of mates used to go to the pub in our younger days and play pool ,, we`d stick 50p in the jukbox and put this on along with story of the blues ,,wah.. orange juice rip it up ,,and 2 randoms ,,we all thought these songs made us play better ,, they didnt but we loved them anyway

  • I miss you Stuart...

  • it is not exactly the same version that is on my record, but still is great to hear. My record (I mean the original "Mix"-45'') is the one with "CHANCE" on A-side, and "The Tracks of my Tears" follwing and with "The Crossing" on B-side. All produced by Steve Lillywhite, 1983-VIRGIN-PHONOGRAM, bye

  • Warum diese Jungs niemals den Ruhm bekommen haben den sie verdient haben verstehe wer will!.l? Ich habe sie vom ersten Augenblick an geliebt. Und tue es heut noch, 25 Jahre danach. RIP Stuart!, I know, you´re Gerrman was not verry good, but yourr Ennglisch was not verry betttterr!

  • Remind me was this the B side of the Chance 45 rpm single? I could go up the attic and check but too lazy!

    Great post - Big Country are the greatest bar none - I was a member of the Country Club back in the day - saw them live several times will never forget!!!

  • Barrowlands - Ta for Big Country. I was at his tribute concert with his kids, Steve Harley ( Cockney Rebel) and those who loved him. Broke my heart into peices.

    God rest you soul . Stue. Too fast to live Too Young to Die. And too caring also.

  • I was lucky enough to see these guys at Nottingham's Rock City twice. What a freakin' great band they were.

    Music is missing a great musician. Miss you Stu. Thanks for some great times.

  • Dieses Konzert ist und bleibt unvergessen.Morgens um 3-4 im TV, war eine riesen Show.Erst dann gabs kein zurück -Big Country all the Time- RIP Stuart

  • Is Stuart telling us something here?

  • er ist leider auch schon verstorben!

  • still lovin' this....

  • wow!..great cover...dont usually like em...brill guys!

  • I love this song and the way Stuart singing it...

    RIP Stu- we thank you so much for your great music and lyrics!

  • Seems very sadly prophetic!

  • what a great cover. seems sadly prophetic. RIP Stuart.

  • I know this song from Justin Hayward- but Stuart sings it much intenser -I must say...

  • Great cover....Stuart holds a great note!

    stay alive boys!!!!

  • I've always thought a successful cover is when a band (or a solo artist) takes a song and makes it their own thing, while still keeping the spirit of the song. I dunno. I think this cover succeeds in both ways...it's obviously Big Country, and it's obviously "Tracks of My Tears". I love it!

  • some so informed openminded about music...some closeminded and their loss; smokey was fabulous...but expect he would have a wee bother if covering porrohman..lol to all wankers

  • Porrohman! fuck yeh I'd forgotten about Porrohman!

  • same too nomobjustice 2 tosspots blind deaf an incredibly ignorant,,can't you HEAR...its a great cover

  • dear lebarosky you got it ! BACKWARDS/ INSIDE OUT / INBREAD/ idiotic/inward nonesense..away an bile yer heid. inbred stupidity....jist fuckin hell pish off PLEASE

  • a scot sings agreat black american tune to the germans an they love it..we've come along way boys

  • FREEEEDOOOOM!!!!!!!! scots rule...

  • how cool :)

  • How can one say this "correctly" ... It's like the American underclass taught the whole European world how to emote. Yeah, that's it. Like they dug a trench from the heart to the mouth, so the blues could get out.
