      @correctlyrics 9 днів тому +6

      Actually, the radio version is "The Road to Hell Part 2".
      The section where he speaks/sings without music is "The Road to Hell Part 1". And you're right, playing them together is the best way to listen to it. Awesome song!!!

    Oh my .... Chris Rea is a legend in UK & main land Europe! He has SO many iconic songs of the 80s and 90s. You love Mark Knopfler - you will LOVE Chris Rea! Check out "On the beach", "Josephine" "Driving home for chistmas" COME ON!!! You know that one .-) or check out "I can hear your heartbeat" 🙂

    Chris Rea is a great asset of America. We have been listening to it in Russia since the 90s. He is very popular with us and many of his songs are nostalgic for us, because they were played in our youth at weddings, birthdays, and just parties. It seems to us that Chris Rea is underestimated at the proper level in the USA.

    🇬🇧 "Fool If You Think It's Over" & "On The Beach" are just 2 of Chris's other great songs (hits). He also has a Christmas song that was (still is) a HUGE hit, "Driving Home For Christmas" (I'm sure you'll know it), but maybe that's for later on in the year!?. ❤🎼🎶🎙️💓

  • @garyfallows1123
    @garyfallows1123 9 днів тому +3

    This was written by Chris when he was stuck in traffic on the M25 motorway, the M25 is the orbital motorway that runs around the outskirts of London, it was built to ease the congestion of traffic heading into the capital, but most of the time the traffic is so heavy that sometimes it can be at a standstill for long periods, this has earned it the nickname, London's carpark, other songs you could check out are On The Beach, Auberge, Josephine, Fool If You Think It's Over and I Can Hear Your Heartbeat, great reaction guys 🇬🇧

    Chris Rea is a monster musician including writing 8 disc of Blues Music and the story book of the blues history. However he crosses many Genre so check this musician out. Try his album Auberge - any song off of it rates top marks. I like "You're Not A Number" and "Every Second Counts" . The song "The Mention Of Your Name" might grab a little at your heart but he has many uplifting songs as well. Probably a couple 100 hits.

    I had the good fortune of seeing Chris Rea live in Newcastle a long time ago. His voice blew me away, and his slide guitar technique is incredible. I've always loved him. He has some cracking songs and is exceptional live.

  • @ChrisEchoes
    @ChrisEchoes 9 днів тому +5

    You called Chris Rea a blues artist and basically he has been that all his life but he had the "misfortune" to have a hit very early in career with Fool (If You Think It's Over) and that sort of put him on to a poprock music trajectory but at its core all of his songs are all blues songs. In later years he even started to rearrange these in much more distinct blues fashion. By the time of Road To Hell he was in direct competition with Dire Straits and you got to admit that this song is very much in line with Money For Nothing from Brothers In Arms.

  • @ls1959
    @ls1959 8 днів тому

    I understand that Chris wrote this while stuck in traffic on a wet day on the M25, (London outer ring road.}. I live near the M25 near Dartford. It is the road to hell. When it gets jammed up, they call it the biggest carpark in England.

    @sagitt1856 5 днів тому

    You like deep, emotional voices that almost sound like they come from beyond the grave; you like catchy music and clever lyrics... then I recommend listening to the songs of the great Canadian poet and singer-songwriter LEONARD COHEN. And in particular, his song "You Want It Darker"; song that he composed, performed and recorded a few months before his death. The lyrics will quickly convince you that it was no coincidence. It's impossible to come away from listening to this song unscathed. Thanks.
    [NB: In addition and on the same theme, there would also be his song: “Hallelujah”.]

    The last time I heard this incredible song was in November last year when I drove with my brother from the M25 just outside London on the M1 Motorway to Rugby. I got stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident just as this song came on the radio. With the irony of this song, instead of getting mad, we both just laughed, and the look we got from the driver beside us made us laugh even more.

    I remember seeing Chris Rea at Wembley Arena in late1989 when The Road to Hell album had just been released. The band started the concert with The Road to Hell and it was amazing. The stage was in total darkness as Chris did the monologue in that deep brown voice, then as that finished, the band kicked in at the same time as the stage became a blaze of light. It was an unforgettable start to the concert. Chris has released so many great albums. I especially like On the Beach, Dancing With Strangers, Auberge, The Blue Jukebox and King of the Beach. New Light Through Old Windows, is an excellent compilation of Chris' most popular songs for any newcomers to his catalogue. Great reaction as always from you both, keep up the good work.🙏

    Funnily enough, Chris Rea’s best work is probably his least commercially successful. That opening section was the real Chris Rea. The rest is probably forced by the record company. After he recovered from a serious illness, he decided to do an album of music that HE wanted to do. Very blues based, it was a double album called "Dancing Down The Stony Road." There are some great tracks on it but I'm going suggest only one for now. "Ain't Going Down This Way."

    Dominica was correct. English has two similar words with slightly different meanings:
    Distinct - clearly and noticeably different; OR strong and definite
    Distinctive - having a quality or characteristic that makes a person or thing different from others OR appealing/interesting because of a special quality or characteristic
    TBH I get these two mixed up, and I suspect many other English people do also.

    I still think Bambolini is Chris' best song (well at least for me), but this is definitely in my top-5 at least! There are a couple of others i defintely enjoy more than this one, one of them is Bambolini another is Auberge and i would also put Curse Of The Traveler above this one as well, but that's just me...in general i preffer Chris' early music spanning late 70's and mid 80's (On The Beach is the last album i really like almost entirely...aside from titular song from the album of the same name - Road To Hell i'm not a huge fan of any other song, that came out of that album...), so songs like Road To Hell or Auberge are extremely rare exceptions in my book! up until 1985 On The Beach album you would have me playing like 70% or sometimes even all 100% of all the songs from each album in my Chris Rea playlist, with only a handful of songs not on my playlist spanning that late 70's mid 80's period of his illustrious career! But after 1985 it kind of went down drastically for me...i find "later" songs much harder to enjoy! Like i said Road To Hell and Auberge are only and sole exceptions! I tried listening to everything else, but can't get into it...
