Outstanding song. This is music. The piano here absolutely rocks. I believe in steel. I believe in the Clyde. This is an inspiration for every Britain who can recall that the country was once great. Lets get back to making lots of stuff out of steel - but perhaps we can clean it up just a tad better than before. Salmon is still compatible with steel-making. Great job Chris Rea. You ARE the man.
"New Light Through Old Windows" is still by far my all time fave Chris Rea release and why the hell not? It does contain this fab tune and "Stainsby Girls", Steel River" is just wonderful from a pretty intro that builds to a crecsendoing ending that is one of the best ever recorded! Long live and God Save Chris Rea, may he always keep "Working On It"! ANTEMATS, You Tube, and Mr. Rea: Thank You for: The upload, the power and the space, and being just too By God GOOD!
cold place, warm people, infact BEST people, lifelong friends, luv that steel river :)

Steel River は歌・演奏ともに "New Light Through Old Windows" のヴァージョンのほうが圧倒的にいいよな。こっち聴くと旧ヴァージョンは物足りなくて聴くことがなくなった。
