This song has a special memory for me. Back in the day, I visited a woman I know who lived in rural Idaho just outside Sandpoint. One day, me and some other buds went boating on Lake Pend Oreille. We drank a lot. We stopped at a bar on the way home to shoot pool. We drank a lot. Around 2am, they dropped me off where her blacktop road met the state highway. I walked the half mile home. It was just the moon, the stars, and me. God's own drunk, yknow? So I started singing this song to the night. 'Ooooooh Lord... where did the feeling go? Ooooooh Lord... I ain't ever felt so low.' Got to her place and fell asleep. I woke up next morning and she was reading the paper at the kitchen table. I sat with her and said 'Betcha don't know what time I got home.' '2:12 am', she promptly replied. 'How did you know?' Without looking up from the paper, she began singing 'Oooooh Lord, where did the feeling go?' I was embarrassed. 'You mean you heard me?' 'John, the whole damn valley heard you! The neighbors been calling me all morning!' Oh well. Hopefully I introduced the whole damn valley to a great song and a great band. I love that memory and this song.

Ah this fantastic song! ❤

Just awesome.

I was SO inspired by Stuart Adamson. This is so ' uplifting '. I was 14 or so, back in the day...but I became a successful musician...it still inspired me now and I often listen to Big Country. Thank you Stuart Adamson for your beautiful vision of 'life'. Very much missed

It is absotely not the kind of song why I fell in love with Big Country. I've loved them from the very beginning for there unique two-part guitar playing and the floating drumming style of Mark Brzezicki. BUT: "Fragile Thing" has become one of my absolute BC favourites. It still goes deep under my skin and remembers me of what a great song writer Stuart Adamson was. Thank you for all the music!

Should be the Scottish National Anthem. Amazing song!

love it

Stuart was a genius and is much missed. His music lives on. May he rest in peace.

I'm not really a person who harps back to the "good old days" but I think the live music experience in the 80s, 90's and early 2000's was so much better - and sadly I don't think we'll ever go back to that. You'd queue for tickets at the venue or reseller, queue at the venue early enough and you'd get straight to the front, no mobiles in your face, no over managed over produced experience .....just you and the music. I had the privilege of seeing Big Country several times in the 80s and early 90s and they're still the best band I've ever seen live.

Goosebumps 😢

Weird to think Angle Park is an actual place.Just a small park on a corner in Stuart and Bruces home town of Dunfermline in Scotland.Great tune.

7 minutes of utter class in my opinion never beaten😀

Was lucky to see them twice in the 80s. One of the best live acts I've ever seen

First time in my life the LYRICS got me.

Stuart Adamson, a legend...You will always be missed. Rest easy big man.

Very underrated musician. But not by me or you, whoever you may be.

Fantastic Song 🖤

Tribute to smokey robinson great song

This band have a sacred place in my youth. They mean so much to me. Who is making music with this passion now? Oh yes... the Skids, they liveth yet!

I went to see big country when I was a kid....this album was never off my turntable. This song is my favourite

One of the best best bands ever

October 2024 - And I'm listening to this album in my car.

Joyon del the seer imbatiblessssss joderrrrrrr😎😎💪😎💪😎💪

Brilliant, anthemic, and full of class, and not one of the band member born in Scotland, a bit of trivia there.

Love the voice.

have this and many other BC 12" remixes on vinyl...

At 2:26 is it the same or similar riff as kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5PPeYdooramiq8 and is this originally from / reused in another Big Country song?

I saw Big Country at Hammersmith Odeon in the 80's. The whole performance of this song moved me. Curtains opened with an orange stormy background and a single rock in the middle of the stage. One leg up on the rock, the intro began with lightening flashing in the background. Fabulous memory, thank you.

A mate of mine played this. 1983. I'll never be afraid no more. Let the strength...viva Caledonia

What recording is this. Not on a Big Country Record that I know of. Was this an EP. It is not live.
