I sent a friend in Australia some lyrics of this song. She asked me if it was poetry, and I said yes.

The right mix and this could have been a big radio hit in the U.S.

This entire concert was AMAZING. Got the whole thing on cassette recording it on my boom box live as it happened.

This group’s singles kick so much ass. I may like a lot of them more than the album material

Soul and brain blown away. Keep firing thru Stuart.

It's amazing that I never heard this song til today! Big Country have so many hidden gems. What an amazing treat!

❤❤❤Luv big country

Down my Big Country rabbit hole 2024, Stuarts guitar from 2:41 😭❤️

He was a damned socialist, but I still loved him so.

Great remix! This 12 inch has a superior version of Roxy Music’s Prarie Roses is just the icing on the cake.

Just started this one ... sounds like a whole new interpretation

Class!

One of My Favorite Big Country's Song I Am BibleBelieving Christian From Rovaniemi, Finland. In Rovaniemi We Can See Aurora Borealis But They Are Quite Seldom Visible In Winters Times Although Video Below Tells That Aurora Borealis Are Visible Here from August Until April. God Bless You All❤❤❤

💛👊👊🖤 from Breda,the Netherlands

Absolutely the best poetry ever written!

In my final hour, this will be the song that has told the story of my life. This group has blessed us all with their unmatched music.

Makes me cry

💛🙏🙏🖤 Stuart from Breda,the Netherlands

I can't locve the fadie out more.

This song needs to be in a Irish mob movie

Still listening, August 2, 2024

I love this band

Love everything Big Country do great band.

I dedicate this to HMAS Sydney and her brave crew who died to the last man fighting KMS Kormoran in 1941. The remains of a sole sailor in his raft was found at Christmas Island in early '42 from the Sydney.

Such a talented man he was in the Skids and then he formed big country R.I.P. Stuart adamson

Brilliant song ❤

Thanks for uploading.

I have it

Been a fan of Big Country since the mid '80's or so but this is the first time I've heard this album, What a gift, to discover some new, very excellent BC after all these years.

May 2024.. Godspeed everyone

Mama mia parece los chichos americanos

En el 2007 un amigo que recién me conoció me regaló un pendrive y le puse este disco. Un día me vine en micro desde Matta con Vicuña preguntándome si así sería el resto de mi vida, si la vida universitaria tenía que ser así de precaria. al final terminé mi carrera, ahora soy profesor pero ni esas dudas ni está canción se han marchado. Gracias por rescatar este disco que alguna vez baje por Ares en el Pedagógico. Saludos desde Chile.

The genius of William Stuart adamson.. still lingers on and on… till I die… hope I meet him for the 4th time again and he sitting in a world high above me… and am still looking up at him in awe….

Troppo "fracassone": niente a che vedere con la purezza d'animo di Stuart & Co. Peccato... 👎

My God what a brilliant lead guitar player

Friends gone but not forgotten

What a ageless classic .Big country epic

Just saw him at the Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas!!!!! Epic show❤💋

There can’t be many band who have as many hidden gems that didn’t make the albums

Ouvi pela primeira vez na casa de um amigo punk, em 1986. Não esqueci.É para mim uma grande alegria voltar a ouvir outra vez! Longa vida a esta banda

And the natives are still restless 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤡 🐺

Happy 66th Birthday Stuart, still missing you ❤

nostalgia , relax y solead!

I remember this on the B-sides of Look Away and The Teacher 12 inches. Sublime. I was a 16 year old in awe.

It’s the b side of chance 12 inch that’s awesome

Tremendous everything about it is powerful…..

Another top-shelf song that didn't make a BC original album cut. How do you screw this up? Adamson and the band deserved so much better.

The most criminally mismanaged band in history. Another beauty that only saw the light of day years after the original album release. Too good for the seedy music business.
