Frida (ABBA) : Heart of the Country - LIVE! (Stuart Adamson - Big Country)

Great live vocal version from Frida here in this clip. This song was written by Scottish singer Stuart Adamson (Best known as singer and guitarist for Big Country) he wrote this great song especially for Frida

Taken from her 1984 album 'Shine'
Produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2, Peter Gabriel , Big Country)

A candle burns in the
Heart of the country
The flame fades though
I see to it sadly
It takes me further away
Than I have ever been

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

We took this land
And we brought it goodness
It's taken everything
And left only emptiness
I am not broken
Although I have the seeds in me

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

I hide my face against the sun
I hide my fear from everyone
But I've had enough of secrets
They're all lies we're scared to tell
I just need someone to be with
I just need to say you fell
There's nothing out here
But me and a whisper
And now it's failing
I won't even listen
I watch the fall and it's
Time that I was leaving too

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

I wait and the darkness comes
I pray for my only one
And I wonder if you ever
Will see this land again

(Stuart Adamson )

Maybe the first steps of Stuart´s sadly passing off ?: I hide my face against the sun I hide my fear from everyone But I've had enough of secrets They're all lies we're scared to tell I just need someone to be with I just need to say you fell There's nothing out here But me and a whisper And now it's failing I won't even listen I watch the fall and it's Time that I was leaving too

Really good song that illustrates just what a good lyricist and songwriter Big Country's Stuart Adamson was. Very well sung by Frida too. Just wish he'd written a song for Agneta too.

I've got this 7" single of this and the Shine album from 1985 or whenever it was. Some super tracks on the album. Stuart Adamson was one amazing songwriter and musician. How appropriate he teamed up with Frida. Abba's sound mixed perfectly with Big Country's. Brilliant work!
