" Buffalo Skinners", one of the best records ever.

[@evhbombastic]

All of Stuart's songs are under appreciated.

[@lioninthesun8833]

This Big Country album is so under rated. One of my top 5 albums

[@turefromfinland3264]

Yeah, same here.

[@jumpinjojo]

According to the publications I read, it was quite overrated.

[@KishoreShenoy1994]

To quote Robin Williams, "I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone."

So sad 😔

[@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb]

True story in many ways

Oh God Yes! That is a Mouthful well said.

Still Love Them

My hero forever missed 💔

[@MEWA-ft3fg]

Great song from a Great Album . Ridiculously underrated band and songwriter

[@jumpinjojo]

Most ridiculous comment I’ve ever read.

[@shawnesgate9599]

IMO Alone should have been BCs biggest hit single in their career. This song kicks ass.

[@ScotsGal]

Great song...this was big country's comeback in the early 90s ...this song and ships...the most underrated band of all time...

[@colingeddes2172]

Im inclined to agree with u. All their albums were good. Stuart Adamson was a very underrated and under appreciated musician. R i p stuart. Gone but never forgotton.

[@mullac-zn2jt]

Miss you stuart

[@michaelschmidt9708]

Rarely ever does a band produce theri best album a decade into their career but BIG COUNTRY did with 'The Buffalo Skinners'. One of the best rock albums of the 90s.

[@barrysmith7710]

Yes, fantastic stuff, all heart and soul

[@DCHurlford1]

Classic track. The Buffalo Skinners album was a great return to form with quite a heavy sound.

[@davidb9639]

The Buffalo Skinners was a great album, but damn was it sad.

[@jkeaney7]

Stuart Adamson. My hero ❤️🎸❤️

[@thewarwagon5649]

Always weird not seeing Mark on the skins, but this & Seven Waves are my favorites from this great album

[@lanett53stinkyowl16]

Another fabulousness pick thank you kindly I'm glad your into big country too yay yep yep yep😊🎉🎉🎉

[@LoganMurphy-sv7mv]

How this song managed to NOT break through in the U.S. is mind-boggling...

[@gmansi]

Should have been an instant hit

[@ROOKTABULA]

The US didn't get Queen and many other great bands either.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

@@ROOKTABULA Abba did not do as well as their music deserved in America either.

[@phlangephace]

this is absolutely amazing

[@rosacavalmina561]

Solid gold

[@davidstorm4015]

One of my favourite BC songs, should have been a massive hit all over the world. The album is also great, one of their best, right up there with The Crossing, Steeltown and The Seer.

[@turefromfinland3264]

No, it's better.

[@jodyserner1229]

We miss you Stuart. RIP

[@dereksimpson5370]

Superb from start to finish!!!

[@jkeaney7]

Oh, yes ! 👍 Best album for me. LOVE Seven Waves

Thx Chrysalis for this remake! Awesome song from awesome album! Stay alive folks!

[@markserour9115]

Song for song, I feel that BF and ST were Big Country's two best albums.

The midday sky was grey and purple At least it wasn’t blue I want the sky to be the way I am And what I do For I have been a lost & lonely 😔 Sailor on your sea 🌊 Run aground by trusting signals You were sending me The streets are filled with empty faces Nothing here is new It’s just the same in other places I have journeyed to I was the first across the water 💧 Last upon the land I walked out of the silver mine My pockets full of sand Alone inside my head Alone inside my room I feel alone inside my head Alone inside my tiny little world 🗺 It’s not my life in those old pictures Ones you threw away For I was always someone else And always far away Walking in the darkest places Where the mission meets Waiting for the ground to open up ⬆️ Beneath my feet 👣

[@ProgrammistMusic]

Buffalo Skinners became one of my favourite BC albums, especially after their departure into mainstream with "Peace In Our Time" and the more country orientated "No Place Like Home", which were both fine, but not as good as the previous ones. I also like "Why The Long Face", but "Driving To Damascus" was a disappointment for me. Anyway, there is not "bad" album they've made, similar to THE CULT, just some that i like more than others. I wish Stuart would still be around these days.

[@gijsarles2734]

Chef d'œuvre, point barre!!!

[@lisaduggan9782]

❤❤❤❤❤Stuart Adamson a god,,gone too soon xxx

The best songs are always haunting, this one is especially haunting

[@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb]

Was always going to be difficult what with every new release being compared to “the crossing “ coyp

[@ROOKTABULA]

After the car accident and brain injury, my wife became more and more the polar opposite of the person my best friend had been. I left after 7 years and realized this: _"It's better to be alone on your own than alone with someone else."_

[@WestlakeDrumCenter]

Great drum sound and playing from Simon Chambers? Or Martin Phillips? ;)

[@cejannuzi]

Simon Phillips played the drums. Martin Chambers filled in for the video.

[@georgiak6017]

Martin Phillips was front man for The Chills in New Zealand.

[@davidstorm4015]

Simon Phillips, but Mark returned very soon afterwards and was the drummer on their 1993 tour to support the album

[@johnny5805]

Simon Phillips isn't half the drummer Mark Brzezicki is - yet he has a Wikipedia page 5 times the size.

[@vector_23]

Totally subjective - they're different drummers, and both are amazing. And Phillips' drumming on "The Buffalo Skinners" albums is legendary. By the way, this is Pat Ahern in the video, another frequent contributor when Brzezicki was out of the band...

[@DCHurlford1]

Is that the drummer from The Pretenders?

[@gmansi]

Yes, only for the video en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alone_(Big_Country_song)#Music_video

[@vector_23]

Respectfully, I'm not sure this is right. Even the Wiki page gets it wrong - Simon Phillips played on this album, but I think it might be Pat Ahern (a frequent contributor when Brzezicki was out of the band) in this video. I could be wrong, and it DOES look like Martin Chambers...

[@GooglyBear1969]

can't get a good enough look, is that Martin Chambers on drums?

[@transistorbassman]

@Graham Kerr yes it's Martin Chambers

[@ctyreman11]

Simon Phillips played on the album version.

[@gmansi]

@@ctyreman11 Right! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alone_(Big_Country_song)#Music_video

[@JD-eq4dp]

Yes Tony Butler and Martin Chambers good pals apparently since Tony played bass on some Pretenders albums in early 80s.

[@GooglyBear1969]

didn't know that... i knew Mark played with the Pretenders for a bit though...@@JD-eq4dp

[@erikthunderstorm]

Where‘s Mark?

[@Cleverogue]

Who’s that pretending to be Simon Phillips?
