A little reminder that the riff in this song is (intentionally) lifted (in tribute) from the theme of THE GUNS OF NAVARONE.

2024 & Fields of Fire is a favourite, I was a teenager & loved the music video. The Flying Scotsman, the piper….I’m quite teary right now. Thank you so much Big Country.

The Crossing was the sound track to the long hot summer of 1983. Probably my best ever summer of my youth. Under a blood red sky and Hathful of Hollow get honourable mentions. But the singles from The Crossing take me back to those Halcyon summer days. 👍💪😃😂🇮🇪🤣😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏💚💚💚💚💚

Maybe I am getting along in years but I find myself listening to a lot of 80's New Wave remixes. The songs take me back to my USAF days stationed in The UK. I feel fortunate I was exposed to great music by Big Country, Waterboys, Simple Minds etc.

@@samburden9884 U2 were really big fans of Joy Division, however after seeing U2 play in 1984; I started to listen to BC and saw them twice in 1986 Simple Minds music seemed to getting quite popular in the charts by 1985, but their sound wasn't as original like BC, just. disliked Simple minds production on records U2 were getting touring all the time and changing their sound in the mainstream, but were a bit depressing on albums 'WAR' @ Bono was singing about the troubles of Northern Ireland and violence, sad and dark times from the 1970s BC were making music of happiness, promising times, joyful and exciting times, nostalgia and pleasure 🙏👍

The 12" mix is crap. But I can't part with the record because the sleeve picture is the truth. Stick to the cd album version. Or else teach yourself how to play e-bows and military drums and do a twenty minute version, both instrumental and with lyrics. Yeah, that's more like it.

This was the Mega Anthem of the summer of ‘83 in Chicago where I was throwing down at some of the biggest clubs and I would literally run down from the DJ booth and storm the dance floor each and every time with this track, which had it’s own special dance that had me leaping at least 10 feet high. The only two tracks at the time that could logically follow and match its energy was the dance mix of U2‘s 'Two Hearts Beat As One' or Echo in the Bunnymen’s 'Never Stop.'
