    Bumped into Hothouse Flowers one night at a hotel in the Docklands when I was working up that way. Got drinking and ended up having a sing song with them on the piano in the bar. Liam is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, a real old soul. Not an ounce of self importance about him and genuinely friendly to everybody. I was very impressed with Liam and the band and had a great time. A top man.

    Was backpacking through Ireland in 1989. In Dublin I saw a street busker with a big crowd around him. He was very good and when I asked someone if he was well known, they said he's the lead singer of Hothouse Flowers. I felt very privileged to see and hear his amazing solo performance 🎶👍

    I first heard this played at a concert I randomly saw on TV in the 80s, when I was a little kid. Never heard it anywhere else since. I've searched for it for years.
    I didn't know what it was called. Didn't know who it was by. Didn't know the words, but the tune has stayed with me since. It has taken 30-odd years to finally find it. Glad I did!

    Still going too. I saw Liam at a small blues bar in northern Ireland about 8 years ago. Solo gig with a few friends coming up on stage. He was incredible, he can literally play anything! He had instruments from all over the world with him. One if the best gigs Ice ever witnessed. Shared a pint of the black stuff with him afterwards. Top bloke too 👍

    This is quite surreal because I don't usually get musical facts wrong, but there's literally nothing on the internet about what this song's really about. It sounds like a run of the mill love song but it's actually about a friend of theirs, dying of cancer. Which instantly makes it one of the saddest songs, I was just beginning to doubt my memory until I went back to the album which has a song called 'if you go', which leaves it in no doubt, and really is the saddest song

    lyrics
    There's smell of fresh cut grass
    And it's filling up my senses
    And the sun is shining down
    On the blossoms in the avenue.
    There's a buzzing fly hanging
    Around the bluebells and the daisies
    And there's a lot more loving left in this world.
    Don't go
    Don't leave me now now now
    While the sun smiles
    Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
    And I lie on warm and soft sancly beaches
    And my toes are submerged in the water
    And it feels good.
    Children playing building castles on the shoreline
    Like a painted little love and lord
    It feels so fine.
    Don't go
    Don't leave me now now now
    While the sun smiles
    Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
    Uh Huh
    Uh Huh
    There's white horses and they're
    Coming at me and they face now
    And there's a blue sirocco
    Blowing warm into my face.
    The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges
    The cars going by with smiles in the windows.
    There's a black cat Iying in the
    Shadow of the gate-post
    And the black cat keeps telling me
    That love is on it's way. Yeah
    There's a black cat Iying in the
    Shadow of the gate-post
    And the black cat tells me that
    Love is on it's way.
    Don't go
    Don't ieave me now now now
    While the sun smiles
    Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
    Stick around and laugh a while. - Don't go! -
    Don't go
    Don't leave me now now now
    While the sun smiles
    Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
    Uh huh

    Don't go
    Don't leave me now now now
    While the sun smiles
    Stick around and laugh a while yeah.

      In addition, many of us completed our educations decades ago, and we DID learn all about pronouns and chromosomes. Nobody can change that.

      Riverdance had us glued to the screen, while this is so repetitive and...well...a pee break before the voting session.

      ​@@ponyclub3198 Each to his / her own. I'm obviously far from alone in finding Riverdance overrated. What might be a "pee break" for you, might be great music for others. This was actually the first real pop/rock interval, and was legendary as such. It also was a real breaktrhough for the band.

    I met a couple of these guys after they'd been the opening act for dire straights at Mt Smart stadium Auckland New Zealand i was with my cuz Lee. Took me a minute to realize who they were. I was wearing my hothouse flowers tee shirt I think & there was a doobie being passed around. Must have been 35yrs ago. Good times, great music xoxx
