My husband went to school with Stuart and I grown up in the same estate and Bruce. Bruce was doing gigs even when he was a school . So proud to come from Dunfermline ❤️❤️❤️
"He came to you from the factory floor with the sun and moon as gifts but the only son you ever saw were the two he left you with" is easily one of the best lyrics ever written. What a talent...
In Liverpool, England 1983 Big Country was playing at Sefton Park as part of the Larks in the Parks festival. We'd heard In a Big Country and a few other tracks BUT then they went into Chance and into Stuarts' opening riff to,,,,,, deadly silence. Stuart taught us the chorus and by the end of the song we were into the majesty, devastation and beauty of the song. Now it means so much more.
Greatest loss to modern music, gifted... talanted... father... son... brother.... and son. God rest you Stuart, had pleasure of seeing you in Dublin and will never forget the feelings. Take care my man
Aaron Storts me too man. Just moved to his old home town in fife(coincidental) .. and it's beyond words listening to his music walking around the same places that would have inspired these songs. Truly special. His legacy lives on through us.
I have never heard this version before The Crossing was my first album I became an avid Big Country fan from then on Stuart Adamsons death hit me hard this has brought back to me his genius and utter passion for music I am in tears fantastic recording thanks so much for posting it
Westy Never ever forget those LIVE gigs and I saw the boys loads. Individually sublime, together my musical GODS. Sadly missed big man. Never forgotten.
He, dank je wel voor deze mooie bijdrage. Doet me goed de stem van mijn all time favorite hero weer te horen. Great, deze opname bij een Nederlandse radiozender. RIP dear Stuart
Oh dear god......I feel like I found you again Stuart. Where has this been hiding? Will never understand how I survived after he left. He left at a time when I was going thru one of my worst bouts of depression & was hanging on by tooth & nail trying not to toss in the towel. I wanted so badly to follow him out. The pain was unbearable. I honestly didn't think I was going to make it thru another year. It's truly a day to day battle trying to survive the pain inside of you The thought of the unbearable pain I would bring to my mom is the only thing that kept me fighting to stay alive. Thank you so much for uploading this. Such a rare & sweetly refreshing version.
Stay with us Chris your loved, always remember that, went through it myself but always remember your loved, your a stranger to me but here we go I love you chin up
Chris - well done for staying with us. As a fellow bi polar afflicted person I have similar feelings. When I want to leave I think of my sons. Am on a bit of a downer myself now but can always give you an ear and a shoulder. Keep alive please!
Crap, tearing my heart inside out & bawling my head off, lol, same thing I do almost every day. Knowing that I have some that love & care for me only makes the pain inside me worse. Would be so much easier to go if I didn't know. Yup, you know the key words but have my doubts that it'll be enough when my mom goes. Each day knowing that my moms days are numbered is bringing back those feelings of wanting out, then I remember what it would do to her & I realize I'm stuck here. After she's gone I'm not sure that love will be enough to hold me here anymore. All I can do is hope & pray that something in my life changes for the better, some kind of miracle that makes me want to stay before she's gone.
Have never understood why life has to be so heartbreaking. Why the good cherished moments in our life aren't enough to help us overcome the pain of loss & loneliness we constantly feel deep inside us.
Sorry to sound so gloom. I hate that one of my favorite songs does this to me. Hopefully I'll continue to be a survivor. I've learned that no matter how bad things get & how badly I want to leave, I have to try & believe in some kind of stronger power, something that hears me & will be watching over me. I've got to believe that when the darkness starts to pull me down too far that someone will be here to grab a hold of me & have the strength & care to pull me back up. Someone or something. Also, my biggest fear in life has always been the unknown. What happens after death is unknown. What will happen to all the animals out there that I've always battled to protect. What will happen to my remaining brothers, will they survive & continue on or will they give up. There's so many things that I do know depend on me being here, mostly all the stray & abandoned critters that I watch over everyday. Never know, I may not be able to break my bond with them.
i know just a bit of big country music..but stuart adamson captured my attention, love his way of singing and playing and writing lyrics...is there a documentary about his life or big country story?
I've never heard his voice sound more beautiful. Such a shame about including those jarring and misplaced lead lines in there, not to mention the truncated length in total.
i am learning in 2023 how great this guy was---great spirit
My husband went to school with Stuart and I grown up in the same estate and Bruce. Bruce was doing gigs even when he was a school . So proud to come from Dunfermline ❤️❤️❤️
Stuart I mean
Still obsessed in 2022. I was lucky enough to see them in the 80s. What a genius.🙏

To think he wasn't even the lead singer in the Skids... what a generation of talent we had, sadly gone missing these days.

I was in the studio
Nice One Porroh Mon
Cheers
Why oh why
I've never heard his voice sound more beautiful.
Such a shame about including those jarring and misplaced lead lines in there, not to mention the truncated length in total.
What a loss
This doesn't sound like Stuart at all
That's what I thought too. Voice sounds really young, could be recording , he says his name at end.
Anyone got a tab for this version?
