[@davidwicks3334]

If I had to name the best Album of all time in my diverse taste in music, into the light by Chris De Burgh is it. Absolutely amazing Album which I never stop playing even in 2020

[@2000kaizen]

me since 1986!

[@alexanderschestag3247]

I prefer Far Beyond These Castle Walls and especially Crusader, but Into The Light was my first one, so it always will have a special place in my heart.

[@jonnypostman]

Far beyond these caste waĺs has got to be the ultimate debut album. Love this but can't knock the getaway. And Spanish Train and other stories...don't get me started

[@clairedavison5607]

Yes loved Into the Light since 1986, fantastic album!

[@amirsamii8850]

The 2nd album I heard from Chris. The first one was "Man on the Line". I became a fan from the very first songs I heard from him. Since 1985 when I heard his songs for the first time, no other singer/band has come even close to the place of his music in my heart... Not even the great SIA, or Michael Jackson, or BeeGees. ❤️

[@hassanshueib2806]

I feel sorrow for people who don't know this trilogy, so powerful.

[@brianbeehive10]

This is one of the most epic songs of my lifetime. I’m half a century old now but this is epic. It was something you experienced only if you let the record spin.

[@charlie2elk]

A friend sent this to me to listen to and it's incredible... I've listened so many times. Heard it again today and had to search for it once again in my own CD's to sit back and re listen to the it all over again. Truly enjoy Chris's music.

[@alexanderschestag3247]

You have to see it live. It tears you apard. I have seen it live 15 times or so. It has always torn me apard!

[@susanclapp7785]

Listen to all of his albums, out of this world.

[@susanclapp7785]

Saw him live in dorset. Amazing

[@wontolla1962]

Back in 1987, i was invited by the BSA as International Staff for that year's summer camps, South Plains Council and Lbbck Tx was the City so after the first week " Staff Week" preparing everything in CW Post so on the weekend we went back to Lubbock and the Family that hosted me showed me the room I was going to use to sleep that night, Super tired i went to sleep and during the night I was waking up listening to that nice tune on the FM for me was like that song was snuggling me, playing diff times during my night when I was waking up I was hearing the chorus and the song " Lady in Red " I got up asking for that song and i Bought the cassette Into the Light that's how I meet Chris's Music and still one of my favorite Singers, Greetings from Mexico.

[@triastros]

I think Chris has created a unique music style of his own.. Really wonderfull.Thank you for sharing

[@rezaaghideh9089]

Unrepeatable Artist!

[@brianbeehive10]

This really is a tribute to us, when we had to put the needle on the record. This was the best part of the entire album in my opinion. Extremely powerful

[@hassanshueib2806]

Every second on this song is special.

[@eurythmicss]

Remember Use to listen cassette of this album and Oh ' those rewinding struggles Love the 1980s

[@jonathanpardoe8722]

Don't think anybody has ever made such inspiring/thought provoking / meaningfull music as Chris de Burgh.

[@BigBearAJ]

For sure one of the 80’s greats , bought this album on cassette and yeah ‘ we had the life back then 🖖 good ole days , stay safe guys

[@colintook3357]

Ah and the joys of rewinding / fast forwarding to get to your favourite track, then your Walkman batteries run low and poor old Chris sounds like he's loaded with mogadon, those were the days 😃

THE LEADER Lyrics I looked to the North, and I turned to the West, For a sign, a light in the sky, Oh the message is clear, that the time is near, For a leader to come again; A circle of stones on the head of a hill, Tonight is where it will be, In this desolate place, we all stand and wait, For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again; For it is written, that a leader will be here, And then a vision, left me blinded by the light, And it started right in front of my eyes Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Chris / De Burgh The Leader lyrics © BMG Rights Management US, LLC THE VISION Lyrics And I saw a burning chariot, And the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Waiting on high, And I heard the thunder rolling in, And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky; And I saw this land a battlefield, With a hundred thousand men, Fighting hand to hand, And I heard the sounds of victory, And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies; And I, I saw fire from the sky, I saw fire, and I saw paradise, (paradise, ) Fire from the sun, I saw fire, And I saw Alpha and Omega; Fire, I saw fire, And I saw paradise, (paradise, ) Fire, I saw fire; Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Chris de Burgh The Vision lyrics © BMG Rights Management WHAT ABOUT ME? Lyrics I am left in the night, trembling with fear I have seen to the future and the future is here Our leader will bring victory but our land is in flames And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say What about me and you and the ones that we love? What about me and you and the ones that we love? Well, what about us? Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Chris De Burgh What About Me? lyrics © BMG Rights Management

[@missstarbuck]

thanks a lot ^_^

[@beatbasher]

I was I introduced to Chris De Burgh by my Father, he made me a cassette copy from vinyl. I loved the hiss and crackle of old records. Hearing this 30+ years later it evokes emotions in me more than it ever did before, as this trilogy means more in this day and age than it did to me as a child who knew very little about this world. Even more so for Rosanna, which actually bought tears to my eyes, as a Father myself now. Chris is an incredible songwriter. And even though I am an atheist, I love all the Bible references, thry work so well in his songs, and even though I am not religious I have a deep respect for those who are.

[@byronvanwilde]

This fantastic trilogy is a CdeB masterpiece! Inspired by the Apocalypse (Chris has visited the Cave of the Apocalypse on Patmos isle, Greece), but still a timeless song triggering both the head (thinking) & the heart (emotion). Powerful, emotional singing, great music and amazing concept!! Thanks Chris!!

[@musicmatters1114]

Into The Light is one of the best albums of all time.

[@jonmohan7913]

This IS The Book of Revelation! I can really see it unfold.

[@MrWavdrmr]

1989 I listened to this....It was great to find it again.

[@existentualist]

I stopped crying so many years ago, but this shakes the very fiber of my existence from the inside out. Thank you, it's been a long time since I've heard this :)

[@mredd2nd]

Some musicians have the ability to play with your heart strings each note or beat can play merry hell with a big stick on your emotions. These artist are very rare though.

[@bethhaines6340]

He sings straight from his heart and he always has for as long as i can remember

[@deruthven]

From the same album that had Lady in Red! What a great album from which Lady in Red is far from the best song.

[@azazelviking3510]

deruthven Lady in red is the most known,but undoubtfully its the best.

[@obiwanduglobi6359]

@@azazelviking3510 Lady in Red is a best of compilation. No surprise.

[@melianduarte9848]

@@obiwanduglobi6359 Ok.What a nice argument,when we are talkin about 2 24 Carat gold!

[@alexanderschestag3247]

In my opinion, The Leader Trilogy and Fatal Hesitation are the best songs from this album.

[@hiasirimias2423]

I've always found Last Nighg to be the best with The Leader trilogy as a close second, but to each his own.

[@Mum1715]

Thank you for this... I have not heard it for many years, it is a wonderful song and i am so pleased to be 're-united' with it :) xx

[@kerriebull2351]

I have rediscovered Chris after loving him in the 80 amd 90’s! Into the light was my first tape! He is amazing

[@simonhartley2772]

I was introduced to Chris De Burgh songs by my Step Father who loved your music. I've always loved music and open to alternative music I've not discovered but more often can quickly not connect with it. However your music instantly resonated with me and although for a large period of my life I remember the lyrics to literally thousands of songs and always sing along to them but never zoned in to messages that the words can carry within them. I listened to music but did not hear it. I was blind in the past as they say but now I see. Your songs have blessed me with many profound messages and pathways of discovery to open up to and explore. I'm now Spiritually enlightened and your music has been hugely significant in that journey. Don't pay the Ferryman for example, seeking to know Who? Why? Where? the belief of the passing over between Life and Death required a boat journey & money to pay for it. Later in life recalling that in Movies many Ancient Civilisations placed coins on the eyes on the dead confirming their belief in the Ferryman. Further still when I met my girlfriend who loves Music too and feels the power of it, one night I spoke of your Music and mentioned a few song titles and the story they tell. She hadn't discovered your music & wasn't aware of the Ferryman story. I explained it and how the Ancients gave coins to their dead too. My girlfriend is a Nurse & spent many hours involved in Theatre during extensive Surgery lasting for many hours. She told me that every patient when they are brought out of their Anaesthetised state talks about being on a boat journey. They never remember afterwards though. The Ferryman story was confirmed and the existence of a Soul within us too. The patients body being synthetically kept alive, heavily sedated & only breathing under life support equipment comfuses the Soul we are dead and our soul goes on its journey. When we are brought back around our Soul is pulled back into us but is conscious of the journey thus we become conscious of it and tell the boat story. It blew my mind! Changed my life too. Connected me to my Soul and to our source or God. Thankyou eternally for your music and it's power. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse song and the Leader Trilogy just reminded me of where your music channeled me and I wanted to express my ultimate gratitude

[@paulconcannon8861]

Chris de Burgh released a lot of great music but this is by far my favourite. I also love Spanish Train. Awesome piece of music. Chilling and fun.

[@moiiom3320]

The great music, we love you Chris de burgh, from morocco🇲🇦🇲🇦

[@lisadarby1413]

This song is epic. Has been one of my most favorites since the early 80s when I first heard it. I just recently refound it after searching KZbin for several years. I couldn't remember what it was called. The whole thing start to finish is one of the most powerful songs that I have ever heard.

[@natashawebber6136]

Into the Fire was one of my first cds I bought when it was released. I heard this trilogy so many times - also live - I always get goosebumps like the first time. Thanks for this masterpeace and so many wunderful songs ....

[@kennethmcdermott6722]

I think it's about time Chris tours again can't wait for him to come back to Melbourne and at Hamer Hall

[@azazelviking3510]

Please never remove it,its the best version!

Ja zostaję w nocy, drżąc ze strachu Widziałem w przyszłość i przyszłość jest tutaj Nasz lider przyniesie zwycięstwo, ale nasz kraj jest w płomieniach I jako końcowe odgłosy bitwy zniknąć, mam do powiedzenia Co o mnie i ciebie, jak i tych, których kochamy?

I never thought to check out CDB as I thought his output was all like The Lady In Red which just doesn't do it for me although it is a very popular song . However Prog Magazine (yes Prog) featured the Crusader album under the feature "It's prog Jim but not as we know it." Must say I am now the proud owner of 5 of his albums and am loving them (will get more). Never too late to get your mind opened up, wish I had gotten into his music years ago.

Such a great progressive rock song!
