[@Amadeus1066]

I'm a HUGE Chris de Burgh fan. Glad to see this interview.

[@huse3130]

I love #ChrisDeBurgh music so much! What a storyteller and musicman!

[@paulgreenan4395]

Always a class act,love the late 70’s 80’s albums.Listened to Robin Hood the other day was impressed.

[@elmolewis9123]

I saw Chris and the band in the '70s headlining in a small city in Canada. The crowd was less than large, yet the show they played that night was as if they were playing to a packed stadium. For the lucky ones that were there, I am sure they still remember the amazing performance Chris and the band gave that night. Thank you, Chris. Looking forward to part 2.

[@johnpothen7056]

Thank you very much for this interview. We have talked about this before. To hear him speak about this song is very interesting.

[@troyhenry3267]

Great interview John! I have this song on my playlist!! This song was popular in my H.S. days!

[@hassanshueib2806]

Chris is the legend of music.

[@S.E.Walker]

I love so much that Chris dispensers with the Grim Reaper nonsense and calls the Ferryman by his proper name: Charon.

[@theoddcollectivealt]

hes the deliverer to the reaper

[@julietfischer5056]

@@theoddcollectivealt- Charon takes the dead across the Styx. They've already met the Reaper.

[@davemis40]

He’s a great songwriter .. loved Spanish Train and The Traveller

[@chriswong4304]

I saw Chris D B in 1983 at the Q.E theatre , he performed solo , amazing talent .

[@JM-ft5ip]

I admire his love for his children.

[@margaretcunningham7146]

Nice to see this as a fan in his home country of Ireland...was in a play where symbolism was used a lot. My characters was a 'scarlet woman' and wore a red dress...it was threatened that they'd play lady in red at some point to make me blush...last performance, yup, they played it at the end...I went as red as the dress!!

[@tinostabile3256]

A great interview a great artist keep up the great work for another 61 more years God bless you John keep well and thanks for this video

[@TheGamecock366]

I wonder if the Ferryman at the end of the video, is played by actor Tom Baker

[@ambikawolf664]

In Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse told the tale of how Siddhartha crossed the river with the help of a ferryman, who refused any money.

[@mrnelgin]

I flew from Texas to Canada to see the show. Chris didn't disappoint. It was my first show of his I saw live and it lived up to expectations. He played most of my favorite songs and there were even a few I hadn't heard before. I must have missed an album somewhere. Chris is like Mark Knopfler in some ways, such a great story teller, it doesn't matter if it's a country churchyard, a ferryman you shouldn't pay, a ballroom of romance, upon a Spanish train...my mind doesn't need a music video to conjure up the scenes in the songs. Thank you for the interview.

[@mariaday712]

Great interview. Thanks for doing this John. Stay safe.

[@satan3959]

Even though I've always been primarily a metalhead (although I also love a lot of early electronic music from the likes of Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre), I've always had a soft spot for stuff like Chris de Burgh, Meatloaf, and Queen

[@1957lindag]

Thanks for the interview and reminding me of Chris de Burgh John....

[@howardtennenhouse7849]

I was such a fan.He is playing here in Winnipeg tomorrow night.I saw him here and in Tel Aviv.Both crowds went nuts and for the later show there were so many women dressed in red bringing red roses to the stage.He told the press he hated the song.I think I will try the latest album.

[@berliner0]

Love Chris de birth Chris rea too. And mike old field and Al Stewart etc

[@AgentPepsi1]

1984's Man on the Line, is my favorite Chris DeBurgh release 😊

[@jeffperry7971]

That’s was a fantastic interview!!! Is there more? Did you ask him things like; what method he uses to write his story and does he change it up and use a different method?

[@plantfeeder6677]

Honestly John. I've never heard of Chris deBerg. Or any of these hits you are mentioning either. New music to explore. Thank you.

[@berliner0]

Have a safe weekend thanks

[@ralphpal]

Lady in red i think became famous cause of Days or our Lives. Patch dancing with ( i forget her name )

[@dazzle1933]

You didn't ask the important question on the video, is is Tom Baker?

[@CD_42]

The Ferryman wasn't the Grim Reaper it was Tom Baker! lol 😁😉

[@RichM3000]

Was "Don't Fear the Reaper" about the ferryman?

[@widowrumstrypze9705]

I think that it was about the literal Reaper.

[@czeslawmeyer7871]

The ferryman Charon played the cowbells in don't fear the reaper little known fact but true .like both those tracks
