Thanks for sharing this, it brings back lots of memories for me. I was lucky to see Big Country live many times. This tune will be played at my funeral, pure class.

A very nice tribute. I find myself thinking about his kids. So sad that he left them so soon. A great artist sadly missed.

@slotracer9 - Cheers. One of my favourite BC tunes too. One of Stuarts more open songs I think . . . sad, poignant and tragic given his untimely end . . .

Carl, this has got to be one of the finest visual tributes to Stuart ever created, a sublime and astonishing masterpiece of imagery set to music. I have always thought that no song by Big Country sums up Stuart's passing better than this one. Lyrically superb and poignant. The live version included an additional and fitting bridge lyric "Now I find myself, all off the beaten track, with the wind in my face, and the sun, upon my back."

i'm not a big fan of "photo-videos" on Youtube, but this one is fantastic. i never had the pleasure of meeting Stuart, but i still miss him. he was one of those rare songwriters who's lyrics touched everyone, whether you're male or female, black, white, whatever. there are very few songwriters that can transcend "earthly descriptions" and speak to everyone (if that makes sense), but Stuart was definitely one of them. this video made me cry a little.
i never knew you, but i miss you.
