This song brought back many great moments when I was a teenager. I really love this song back in 1986. An almost forgotten ballad song from Big Country.
this song is the most beautiful song i have ever heard from big country, i have many favs but this just tops them all, all of this song reminds me of all the bad parts in life and moments we suffer, i hope many other people hear this song and know who big country are and how they have changed my life and remember the legend behind it all stuart adamson.
Legend band, i saw them live a few times in the mid and late 80's when i was a teenager, i got one of the drummers drumsticks after one gig, still have it in a box in the attic...
If only there was more love songs like this 1!! This is the song that confirmed for me that Big Country are more than just a band!! Adamsons voice sends shivers down my spine everytime i hear this!!
Thanks for posting - This song has helped me through some difficult times in the past, and it was nice to discover it again here. For those people at Uni who I drove insane by locking myself in my room and constantly playing this track at full blast, after my then girlfriend dumped me for my flatmate - I offer a belated apology!
@tianuria i could'nt agree with you more. i just wish that big country would have got their due they should be inducted into the r&r hall of fame like you said the ground work for private investigations. you could'nt be more right.
This song is on a DVD by Track Records. I have it and will upload it if I can't find it on youtube. It is a song that saved me from myself thousands of times.
@bassfingers123 that's so lovely my oldest is 17 and the youngest 11 and for the rest of your life you have a beautiful song to take you back to that moment. I can remember the songs that played on the radio as my own two beautiful girls entered the world. this will never leave you and when you hear this you will be transported back to the feelings you had on that day for many years to come...
Very nice job with your choice of photographs to represent the sentiment of this beautiful BC ballad.Truly an amazingly brilliant band.
And I love reading the comments from my fellow BC fans who champion this great group and who realize how much we lost when Stuart died.Such a huge loss.
Its was amazing how Stuart put so much emotion in his voice. This song is one of the best ballads they did. Anyone know where the real video of this classic has gone ? It was on Youtube !?!
This song has a special place in my heart, it reminds me that we all can suffer from loneliness and loss of loved ones or other important persons in our lives. I often wonder what Stuart would have been able to create if he had stayed alive. Miss him a lot and what he represented.
@cms3890 From the information I have looked up, his death was caused by hanging and determined be a result of suicide. Autopsy showed a high level of alcohol in his bloodstream, but whether he committed suicide because of being drunk and by poor judgement or whether something else happened, there is no evidence to tell. This happened in Hawaii, a place mostly known for happiness and good life. Some documentation suggests he was unhappy with his life and artistic career. Read more on wikipedia.
@cms3890 Yes, hence the sadness and feeling of loss in my above comment. May his soul find joy in the hereafter. Life is so full of hardship as it is; all we can do is to take care and create something good in our time. (Peace In Our Time/One Great Thing/Everything I Need)
i saw BC loads of times they were just the best there is no other way to describe them they should have been one of the biggest bands on the planet but the droids that run radio stations and set playlists would rather you listen to manufactured crap
If there was a best vid in the world this would probably be it, accompanied by a beautiful song by a VERY underrated band. WHY oh WHY has this had so few views. Carl, relist it with more than just the song title, add BIG COUNTRY and beautiful video -that should get a few more looking and listening!
