Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind Whatever happened to our love I wish I understood It used to be so nice, it used to be so good So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me SOS The love you gave me, nothing else can save me SOS When you're gone How can I even try to go on When you're gone Though I try, how can I carry on? You seem so far away, though you are standing near
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me SOS The love you gave me, nothing else can save me SOS When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try, how can I carry on? So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me SOS And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me SOS When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try, how can I carry on? Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find…
Chris de Burgh's Musik ist unvorstellbar schön. Er hat eine so atemberaubende musikalische Ausstrahlung, die er so unvorstellbar schön in seine Musik einbringt!
CDB:Basil? Basil!?....BASIL!!! Basil: Yes, sir? CDB:Pay attention, make sure you get a good shot of me blessing the Thames. Basil: Very good, sir. Very 'spiritual'. CDB:And...get a few shots random buildings...and....oh! me sitting on that bench!...Basil? Basil: Yes, sir. CDB:Isn't Bono in Africa this week? Basil: Yes, sir. CDB:Good! Meet me there tomorrow and bring the electric guitar! Basil: Wouldn't the Acoustic be more appropriate? CDB: Nonsense! it looks cooler, and no one will notice!
So glad this was posted. Thank you for allowing iTunes US to carry your work. It was getting more and more difficult to find import places that carried them.
Ich mag diese Version tatsächlich mehr als die von ABBA. Sehr gefühlvoll und diese Stimme, unglaublich schön. Ich könnte weinen, so eine Gänsehaut habe ich.
Herr de Burgh braucht nur einen Stilberater. So kommt er doch etwas verstaubt rüber (wie ein Jedermann und nicht wie ein Superstar)
ich war auch bei verstehen sie spass und die meisten singen live ja *scheise* aber er ist auch live BOMBE! ;D geil! echt genial,die frauen bei verstehn sie spass waren auch net schlecht (L-L)
I really like it, because it is Chris de Burgh and a wonderful song. For me there is no comparision between him and ABBA, because both are really good, but Chris de Burgh sings it in his own way, and I think its just great
Er ist der größte Musiker, den ich kenne und ich liebe ihn. He's the greatest musician I know and I love him. Aber: Mir gefällt es nicht. But: I don't like it.
Klar kommt die nicht an das Original ran, aber Chris De Burgh macht seine Sache gut und darf das. Hauptsache keine schlechten Techno Versionen, wie sie z.b. E-Rotic oder die A*Teens gemacht haben. Mir gefällt es =)
Wow, these videos are horrible. I really like Chris's music, even if it got a little stale lately (my favourite album is Power of Ten) but I'd really be ashamed to show his music videos to my friends. It's like watching regional television and admitting you like it.
I let them hear the music though. Turned some people into fans.
@Dem3000 I am from cologne, I guess it's my turn to dislike it 'cause it's regional television, isn't it? Why do you care about that? It isn't in Poland :) And for me, I am very proud and happy that Chris shot the video there. It's nice to see the places I know and to know that Chris has been there and liked it.
@ThroughCrystalEyes Couldn't care less if it was in Poland or not. Don't know why you care, it's just a few moving pictures with Chris waving hands and wearing sunglasses.
What I care about is lack of taste of one of my favourite performers. His music is art. These videos are crap.
wow Chris, this film fills my heart with joy again in those days they seem so hard to find, when they were happy...:) Thanks for the film! with love Monika
I don't like these cover songs. The only reason for doing this is maybe that he needs a rest. I love his voice and own songs. But I do not need Footsteps 1 and 2. I'm sorry for that.
Great choice of song from Abba...In my opinion of the best songs of them (together with *Eagle*). And even the forthcoming CD is one of covers, Chris can manage it to do it in his own style, with a bit more of personal accents. That makes him so original since the beginning. And as he is saying it in the interview, he will keep on doing it...till last breath.... just because he has such a great heart to his fans. Wonderful music man and great artist! Always full of emotions. Excellent!
Brilliant version! I loved it.but as immortalijuniper mentioned I also believe that your music even the covers could make memorable music videos and for us fans,it would be a real joy to see you in a new atmosphere.I mean, when you spend your time, money and energy on this,why not working on a real music video instead of making a clip out of the EPK? a video with a story! I hope you don't mind if I get critical here. we would love to see a different music video from you!
@sampictures Dear Sam I am 50 years old and I am still liking the Chris De Burgh Style....He is such a glourious man, U know...OK he is 63, but do you see that.? In 2011 you should be looking and listening to the menstionned before.....BBSB300 ....for listening a MAN ;-) Otherwise it is always Adele also here in Belgium : 6 of Adele in top30....Too much I think, or am I getting too much of age? Best Greetings for comments, Ludo
Nice version of the song, like it :) You're great Chris and I have been a big fan of you for 20 years. But there's a great concern that I want to share with you. hope you don't mind if I get a bit critical here. Your songs, with that great factor of storytelling in them (even the covers), could make great musci videos, more artistic ones ! I am really longing to see music videos like the ones you've made years before such as Don't pay the ferryman, making the perfect man, ship to shore, etc.
"I have been a huge fan of ABBA like many of other people for many years. This song, SOS, I heard while I was on tour in America and I was so impressed by the production, however, it struck me that the lyrics, the words, have not been brought to the front as they could have been." - Chris de Burgh
