Blue - The Way Things Are

Album: Blue (1973)

[@josephhaas7636]

One of my favorite lp's, only seen one other copy at a flea market since. I'll cherish it until I am gone.

[@youghaloffline]

Another great track from one of the most sinfully ignored albums ever made. Not saying it was the best album ever, but my god this one deserves to be in every right-minded persons music collection. Thanks for the post.

[@barrycardiss4043]

Some great songs on this album...I wish I could fly is an unknown classic..

[@hundenstihl]

Such a great Weeper that song. Live it.

[@Just-a-Thought.]

Totally agree JWH. Loved this album in the 70s. Hearing it again brings a tear to the eye!

[@salhak77]

POESIA BELÍSSIMA ! CANÇÃO MARAVILHOSA ! ME TRAZ GRANDES E DELICIOSAS LEMBRANÇAS DE UMA ÉPOCA FELIZ, QUANDO EU FREQUENTAVA AMBIENTES, NOS ANOS SETENTA, ONDE SE OUVIAM BALADAS ROMÂNTICAS COMO ESTA DELÍCIA ! PARABÉNS PELA POSTAGEM E PELO BOM GOSTO ! (Jorge Mota = São Paulo)

Let's abandon all our dreams Sleep inside our sorrow Or sit here waiting for our dreams To come true [Verse 2] Maybe you know what I mean Maybe come tomorrow Things won't be the way they've been Or seem to be [Chours] You don't have to stay too long You can go away But I'd feel better off if you'd stay We're not as far apart As I have heard her say That's just the way things are But things won't always be the same [Chours] You don't have to stay too long You can go away But I'd feel better off if you'd stay We're not as far apart As I have heard her say That's just the way things are But things won't always be the same

Thanks so much for uploading this, i remember going to the music shop with my mate, he bought " What a bunch of sweeties by the Pink Fairies and i bought this album, haven't heard these tracks for centuries, thanks again.

[@HarrymegamanDJ]

@mjpers1 The members: Hughie Nicholson /Guitar/Vocals/keyboard, Ian McMillan Bass/guitar and vocals, Tim Donald Drums. There was another guitarplayer called Jimmy McCulloch that died of an overdose of heroin 1979, among other things he played bass in the group "the wings" when Paul McCartney played the piano and McCulloch also formed a band called wild horses with Brian Robertson (Geordie, AC/DC.)

Jag kom hit med anledning av Clas Ohlson-reklamen.

[@Nerkin610]

Samma här, melodin träffade mig rakt i hjärtat direkt. Trodde faktiskt låten var betydligt nyare. Fantastisk.

You beat me to it, love this track from a superb album, it was the 'B' side of Little Jody which made me buy the album. Have uploaded I Wonder If I'm Making It instead myself, but this track was class. Thanks for the upload AGAIN.

[@hauntboy]

So mANY GREAT SONGS ON THIS lp. Timi's Black Arrow (written by the drummer) is sadly not on youtube.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Quite a bit like Badfinger or vice versa

[@mjpers1]

Who were the members of this band? Did they have other projects? We should all get together in one huge living room & listen to old records!

[@sejrec56]

Got anymore than two songs from these guys?

[@mauricethompson4158]

I love this album, is there any chance I could borrow it!

[@audhusa1634]

[@audhusa1634]
