❤what a lovely version ❤

Stuart....we miss you

Long ago I heard a tale I never will forget The time was in the telling on the bank the scene was set The sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had not gone She washed her hair among the stones and saw what was to come All this will pass There will be blood among the corn and heroes in the hills But there is more to come my boy before you've had your fill Men will come and rape the soil as though it were their own And they will bathe their feet in oil as I have bathed my own All this will pass All things must come Just as I tell you here Stones will stand together as if searching for the stars And all come crashing down again before they reach too far She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk away But then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay All this will pass All things must come Just as I tell you here She told me of the famous sons who write their names in peace Yet be cut down before the time has come for our release Just as I tell you here Even now I wait for the coming day Even now she waits in the dawn For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows With the dream in her eyes no one's seen I listened for so long that day that I can hardly tell If what she said was heaven sent or brought to bear in hell That men of hope would stand alone and still be cast a lie Just as Romans cast them on the day they were to die All this will pass All things must come Just as I tell you here Even now I wait for the coming day Even now she waits in the dawn For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows With the dream in her eyes no one's seen

This is a favorite spaghetti Northern.

Stuart, you left too early. It wasn't your time. You stole from the whole world, too much whiskey kills. Be careful! Rest in peace our prince.

we miss you so much, Stuart,

A Scottish legend he was absolutely class 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶

I went to this gig, saw them just in time?

Nobody rocks like the Scots/Irish! ❤Them forever.

Brilliant well done Stuart shall always play your music Big Man 👌🏼

Yet another beautiful record recorded by UB40. So chilled out a great track to listen to by the beach.

very nice

My eldest sister is named after this song! I remember my dad singing it all the time! I love it.

Thank you Stuart - those first 3 albums were amazing - some of the best concerts i've ever sen - RIP big man

💖💖💖

Face to Face do the best covers.

Maybe the most beautiful song ever !

say it stu

these guys are right up there with level 42 live so fucking tight!!!!👏👏👏😎

Nailed it. Even has the slow fade at the end.

Hard to believe that this great live acoustic version has no comments in 15 years of being posted.So let me just say that Big Country were truly a brilliant yet totally underrated band in relation to other bands of any era.And the late great Stuart Adamson was truly one of the best singer/songwriter/musicians of all time.

2 words fuckin class 🎶🎶👌

Love this song saw them live in Leicester early nineties

Long haired Stuart - what a mega musician- every song created by these geniuses is a masterpiece

I was at that gig ❤. I remember getting stuck in London after missing the last train back to Canterbury. Totally worth it, though.

💖💖💖

A joy

Fascinating to hear how original of this was more of a duet featuring Kate but it got mixed out

Sadly,never to be duplicated.....❤️

Great lyrics are so true 👍

You'd barely know Kate Bush was in this song, not Big Country's fault. Just watched an interview with Bruce Watson saying the producer turned her vocals way down for whatever reason. Such a shame, I'd love to get hold of the tapes and remix it myself. Big Country's epic rock and Kate's drama and voice are surely made for each other!

Stuart was one of the reasons a started playing guitar a know he was in the rolling stone top 100 guitarists of all time at one point and the fact he isn't is a travesty some of his work on The Seer album & the restless natives soundtrack is straight out magical

One of their sloppier versions.

Very sad that Sir Henry Parkes was totally demolished that time back. I was a pupil there from 1971 until 1975. I have many happy memories of being there.

Do you know what the differences between then and now? NOTHING 😂🕶️
