I've never heard a more affecting opening line. I also love the phrase "yearning sorrow" -- it speaks to the light we want to see out of the darkness, as sorrow is yearning for joy in a sense
Time to knock it on the head Chaps! Woeful methinks! This is 'Just a Shadow' of the original Big Country. (Pun intentional). Bruce and Mark are doing their best, but there was only one Stuart Adamson, and he's been gone for many a year, and cannot be replaced. This Muppet looks like he spends more time studying hair dye, than actually rehearsing! Mike Peters came close, but then again, Tony Butler was still playing bass, and he was a massive part of the Big Country sound. I was lucky enough to see the original Big Country many times over some twenty years, and this performance is farcical!......Rant over!
The only way forward now IMO is to try to get Tony back , and continue with Mark,Bruce and Tommy . That really would be closest we'll get to the real thing. Tommy's tribute band are better than this line up .
There's too.much guitars going on . Tommy is good, however, when I first heard about this collaboration, I was concerned 3 guitars would be a mess . Listening to this unfortunately I've been proved correct . Jamie is a decent rhythm guitarist but should never let anywhere near lead . This is really awful 😢
