About this user

This page is in memory and honour of the great Stuart Adamson, who tragically took his own life in 2001. He'll always be remembered by those people who are touched by his music.
Stuart was the King of Emotion. Rockin' in Heaven now, RIP...
11th April 1958 - 16th December 2001.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Things that shape us are rarely acknowledged until the mould is distant and we are cooled. I understood the power of music and had seen its effect long before I knew its language. I knew that a man with a song could be as persuasive as one with a gun, and was much less likely to harm innocent bystanders. As a child I watched people whose traditions denied them any show of emotion, pour out their hearts in song to those they shared a life with. The songs were their love, their longing and caring made public."
(Stuart Adamson)

"We'd like to do something now which is all about being proud of who you are and what you are about. I think everyone should be that. Songs about things which have been, things which are happening now, and things which are still to happen."
(Stuart Adamson)

"...And one of the ways we can bridge those gaps is through music, cos music touches everyone, no matter who you are..."
(Stuart Adamson - Live in Berlin 88')

"...Stuart, there's word that the Beatles are reforming tonight, what'll you think they'll play?"
Stuart: "Eh, instruments..."

"Big Country was never just a band, it was a way of life."
(Tony Butler)

"Alone inside my head
Alone inside my room
I feel alone inside my head
Alone inside my tiny little world"
(Big Country - Alone)

"If I hold out for you, will you hold out for me
Hold out from here to eternity
If I wait for you will you come to me
I need you from here to eternity"
(Big Country - From Here To Eternity)

"Oh Lord where did the feeling go?
Oh Lord I never felt so low"
(Big Country - Chance)

"All the seasons rushing over me
All the secret wounds that bleed
All the seasons rushing over me
Take me further from my need"
(Big Country - Everything I Need)

"I'm not waving I'm drowning
I've come too far out here
I'm not waving I'm drowning
And there's no way you can hear
I was too far out all of my life
I'm not waving but drowning"
(Big Country - Not Waving But Drowning)

"Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
It's breaking up home by home
Take it away, take it away, take it
In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision
I still smell the rose in this place"
(Big Country - In This Place)

"And if the place for us
Is far beyond this earth
I'll wait in peace for you
If I should be there first"
(Big Country - Bella)

"Sing out to me
I will sing out to you
I will sing across the sea
Like drunken sailors do
A lonely son of love
For a pan American Irish girl."
(Big Country - Pan American Irish Girl)
