"Silent Emotions"
Track 1 from the 1973 album "If It Was So Simple" by Longdancer. This was recorded to computer from the original vinyl LP.
Longdancer was Dave Stewart, Kai Olsson, Steve Sproxton & Brian Harrison and they recorded 2 albums "If It Was So Simple" in 1973 and "Trailer For A Good Life" in 1974. They were signed to Elton John's Rocket Record Company, but were not very successful. Dave Stewart & Annie Lennox formed bands The Catch and The Tourists before they became Eurythmics.
Lyrics
Sitting alone in my living room
with plenty of time to think about you
they're building a wall that you can't see through
and then they expect you to know what to do
But it's nice to know you
to feel that you're there
like a silent emotion that swims in the air
a strange understanding
that links both our lives
it brings us together from over the miles
Endless planning the meetings to come
thinking that surely the time can't be long
only to watch your dreams sink like a stone
when something comes up and you're left on your own
But it's nice to know you
to feel that you're there
like a silent emotion that swims in the air
a strange understanding
that links both our lives
it brings us together from over the miles
Take your chances like a man
take what you need to while you can
no-one'll help you if you're cast out to sea
you could only become an example like me
Steve Sproxton drinks in my local in Tottenham. Nice guy, very quiet.

I was in the studio when they made their 2nd album, I was a friend of Steve Sproxton, He was a great guitarist and a great writer. I went to school with both him and Kai

@wdrsap I bought this LP way back in 1973 and still have it. I'm just a fan of this band. Great music. What do you mean the song has nothing to do with the music?
