💛👊👊🖤 from Breda,the Netherlands

[@jmulk77]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@victorymansions]

Everyone watching this is a very tasteful and wonderful person. Spread your love in the hope of a Big Country :)

[@tysongarrett8688]

B side of wonderland extended play......sublime.

[@johnmacintyre6231]

They had better b sides than most groups released as singles

[@mongo88now88]

poetry set to music, I can't even express how much I miss Stuart. he saved me life, very directly, in 1984, with the Crossing and more so when he spoke 'to me' on Steeltown. I love Mark, Bruce and Tony for all the world and all they have made BC. They are brlliant. Yet, Stuart was the voice and the real writer and I always thought I would meet him someday. I have been stunned for years. I've love to meet the band and just chat i guess.

[@dinetk3125]

I met Stuart twice. Once at a radioshow in the Netherlands where we interviewed him for the Dutch fanclub. And later after a concert in Doncaster. He was very, very nice. I listen to BC almost every day. Have seen them tons of times in bigger and smaller venues. This is one of my favourites.

[@mcadeemcnasty2460]

Same Mongo. I love you Stuart. I'm sorry.

[@marklomas4078]

We all love and miss Mr Stuart Adamson

[@georgesimper]

One of, if not my favourite Big Country track and this version takes it to another level.

[@steffendass4169]

Your fans miss you still, Stuart.

[@coralys2010]

Glorious. One of my favourites. Still remember when and where I heard it for the first time. Everlasting memories. ❤

[@rashedala-uddin8157]

Loved this band from the early days - my children love them now. They play air guitars, and make me play the fiddle. Dec 16th 2019 - eighteen years of winter sky. Rest in peace.

[@kevsul47]

what a songwriter,what a singer,what a lyricist, what a guitarisst..

[@stevenpryce7808]

So proud that my son & both my daughter's listen to big country,my son absolutely loves them,at least I got something right 👍

[@padraigsisk4057]

1 way of keeping the spirit alive

[@gareth630]

Love this,did at the time and still do.Still love the band even without the big man.Just wish more people listened to the lyrics of all their songs because most had a story behind them, Steeltown being my favorite.

[@stuartbrown3758]

Nothing short of brilliance ! Miss you Stuart!

[@slurpyhorse]

This is well up there with my favourite Big Country performance of all time. Gone, but never forgotten Stuart xxx

[@robbieevans6536]

Best version by far.

[@stevenlund2803]

Beautiful song from Beautiful people.Stay Alive!

[@TheEcky24]

Can't believe this song has a 'thumbs down' vote from someone. It's just fantastic.

[@theknightwhosaysni1356]

They threw this one on the B side of Just A Shadow, most bands would never write a song as good as this ever, Stuart and Bruce just tossed this one out without trying.

[@padraigsisk4057]

I remember a DJ dave fanning played this in 84 and said this should have been released as a single.

[@eileencooper5474]

I love you

[@stephensmith3708]

Okay, I have to admit, TOTAL FREAKING AWESOME! ALMOST FOLKLORE SOUND LIKE JOHN DENVER, OORAH SEMPR T!

[@IngyEnglishman]

The beauty of music is that no matter what ethnic group or where it is played it can touch people worldwide. This song still stirs the soul as it did back in the day and I'm sure my sentiment is far reaching. Thank you to all musicians involved, you touch us with exquisite vibes.

[@maartenvanzwanenburg8541]

You can't beat The Beatles on this classic song, but it comes close. Bobby Valentino is great on the violin and The Hossam Ramzy Percussion Section is a nice addition. Big Country is an amazing band that may not be forgotten.

[@dpdny]

Just magic

[@johnmulrain2779]

I love this song,Stuart's voice is simply amazing on it

[@mclmxx]

I was at this gig. Well loved up & bought Kim Mazelle a drink. Stood at the front.. where else!?

[@padster316]

One of the most under-rated songs ever

[@westy1479]

Westy Another great night I managed to make, awesome un-plugged night. Another chance to see one of the greatest bands live. Not many better. Time passes so quick. RIP Big Man!

[@provoira]

Love this song.....have never seen this video....awesome quality and straight up class.....my favorite band ever!!

[@chriserrington8778]

One of their best and least known songs. Can't remember where, but I read that Stuart wrote this song about the results of nuclear war and the 20 years of winter sky refer to 20 years of radioactive fallout that blocks the sun and causes temperatures to plummet. Anyone know if this is true?

[@brianbigcountry]

Very Much True Chris Spot on .....

[@chriserrington8778]

brian donnelly Thanks Brian. I appreciate the confirmation.

[@tablet647]

in late autumn ,when the red skies start to apear about 6 o'clock ,i always think of this great song....and miss big country,r.i.p

[@mcadeemcnasty2460]

I was right at the front in front of Bruce.

[@SuperShazbott]

[@bfbjr]

Best band ever.

[@CheshireMoonBand]

With the mighty Bobby Valentino on the violin! Used to be in Fabulous Poodles, played with so many others.

[@PicoGigaMan]

[@jeffwillis1479]

TONY BUTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leemknutson]

That was amazing, thank you for sharing

[@martymarts67]

1 of my favs best live band ever!!!

[@gordondeprest]

Stuarts timing as always was really good...he had a knack for the dramatic pause. Notice it at 1:48

[@kyleturner2123]

Fav bc song by far

[@TheGorrilla]

Fantastic!

[@fmarkstan]

[@martymarts67]

[@vespasianlegx11]

not really into achoustics,but this is brilliant. what a guitarist stuart was, very sorely missed.

[@johnnyfenwick4422]

[@martymarts67]

isabelle i love u!!theres no better b side!

[@rivel1967]

Tiens, je l'ai pas celle-là : voilà, c'est fait, enregistrée dans ma playlist, notée 5*****, ... Mieux vaut tard que jamais!!! A+? BISOUS Rivel

[@Coppertunes]

Loved this song, should have been more than a 'B' side (do you still get B sides?). That's Bobby Valentino on the fiddle, the same bhoy who played the fiddle on The Bluebells - Young at Heart, and later sued them......... You'r sorely missed Stuart..

[@johnnyfenwick4422]

wot a song

[@aarlevanbram]

@gordondeprest mike does him proud! :-)

[@jamesorth6460]

I bet this about nuclear war and the hypothesized cause of nuclear winter

[@chrisgg9853]

Better than the original recording

[@carterlink]

One person has no soul.

[@bfmanion]

Totally 😥

[@chrisgg9853]

Who's the violinist?

[@gordondeprest]

as front-men go...he is irreplaceable...

[@martymarts67]

[@richarddavid8519]

The stories of the world are sung In places that were never young I have counted every one All the clouds will come to you So the sun never comes through And we will hide From twenty years of winter sky The faces of the world are hung In places I was never born Some will smile while others moan All the clouds will come to you So the sun never comes through And we will hide From twenty years of winter sky Pictures of the world are shown In places I have never known Who will know who shaped the stone All the clouds will come to you So the sun never comes through And we will hide From twenty years of winter sky Still it turns and says to me In words that come uneasily Answers are not meant to be All the clouds will come to you So the sun never comes through And we will hide From twenty years of winter sky

[@poppyhimbo]

I dont care for the "Rock Star-Stuart" You can see how the fame started to get to him starting in the early 90's.
