A tribute to the publication of Stuart Adamson - In A Big Country
The story of how a boy born in Manchester England, raised in a small Fife village in Scotland who formed The Skids, released his first single at 19 and then wrote three Top 40 albums. In the next three years he was written off as a has-been at 23, but then went on to form a new band and sell more than 10 million records worldwide.
Big Country went on to record 8 studio albums and release over 20 singles, much of which became a Cult following. Touring with Alice Cooper, The Jam, Queen at their last ever gig with Freddie Mercury in 1986, David Bowie on The Glass Spider Tour in 1987, The Rolling Stones in 1995 and appearing with Ray Davies at Glastonbury in the late 90's.
Although Stuart Adamson was one of the most respected and popular figures in the music industry, his personal life was complex depression, alcoholism, estrangement and ultimately tragic ending with his suicide in a Hawaiian hotel in December 2001.

Restless Natives, B side of Look Away
Awesome!.. thanks!... More please!!!!!!
❤
Great song.Lyrics hit home now more than ever😢
I love this bit -- always have.
You'd need 50" vinyl records to do BC's songs justice. They never fit into the commercial music mold.
Angle park
When a drum beats.Those 🎸 🎸 🎸 .This song is classic B.C.
You ‘beat’ me to it. Great song.
Subtle, mournful and uplifting in equal measure. How do you do that? Songwriting craft and musicianship, all four of them 👍
Restless natives and winter sky. I always thought Winter sky should have been a single
Winter sky
So many great ones, impossible to pick the top one, but I'd say Prairie Rose is very close to my all time favorite with it's dynamic interpretation of the Roxy Music original, the band's name being an integral part of the lyrics, Stuart's impassioned vocals & the call out to Tall Ships Go at the end (like The Who calling out Pure & Easy in the coda of the majestic The Song Is Over) that make it a timeless masterpiece & the perfect flip side to Where The Rose Is Sown 🌹
Angle Park, The Crossing, Winter sky, Song of the South, Restless Natives.
Winter Sky
I would say All of us. The Crossing singles all had cracking b sides
Long time since I heard this. I liked Bass Trap.
R.I.P. the Wolfman, Vincent Friell.
Legend...
R.i.p vincent friell the wolfman...rest easy.
Sister won this demo album on a radio call in show. My introduction to Big Country and they have been my favorite band ever since.
Rip wolfman 🐺
A worldwide anthem
One of the best song intros ever...
We've got a problem But I don't know what it is We used to sparkle Now we buck without the fizz My ass has gathered pains From sitting on the fence For everything I needed to do Is in the future tense I'm blue on a green planet with you Yes, I'm blue on a green planet with you Well, I'm blue on a green planet with you Yes, I'm blue on a green planet with you We've got a history But it's too much like the past I get unwell from stuff That used to be a blast I did some falling down I did some falling out I just guess our joint account Has fallen into doubt And I'm blue on a green planet with you Yes, I'm blue on a green planet with you Well, I'm blue on a green planet with you Yes, I'm blue on a green planet with you What more can we say What more can we do This is something that I Never wanted to go through, but I'm Yeah, I'm blue on a green planet with you Yeah, I'm blue on a green planet with you I'm so blue on a green planet with you I'm not that lazy But I just don't need the work I'm not the proper type To be one of those physical jerks Some people say you have To change to stay the same I guess we tried so hard To stay the same we changed And I'm blue on a green planet with you Yes, I'm blue on a green planet with you Well, I'm blue on a green planet with you Yes, I'm blue on a green planet with you
We all make our plans, we all have our choices Try on different faces, talk in other voices I said a lot of things that never let me sleep Made promises I really meant to keep I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I took the blame when I could have run I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I know I stayed when I could have gone I don't expect it to be easy for me We're tied together by a simple little pledge Before we know the trust it takes to walk up to that edge We build a house of cards where the wind has always blown We build our little garden on a bed of sand and stones It took to long for me to be who I am Maybe it's enough for me to be it when I can I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I took the blame when I could have run I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I know I stayed when I could have gone Our little house is where the wind has always blown Our little garden on a bed of sand and stones We drift along in quiet waters on the tide We rise and fall in rhythm almost satisfied We let ourselves be drawn, let ourselves be used I only ever wanted to be taken in by you It took to long for me to be who I am Maybe it's enough for me to be it when I can I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I took the blame when I could have run I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I know I stayed when I could have gone I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I took the blame when I could have run I'm not ashamed of the things I've done I know I stayed when I could have gone I don't expect it to be easy for me
I was driving to Damascus when a sandstorm rose The road disappeared and the axle froze I was low on gas and lower on hope I covered my eyes and I felt for the rope The wind was howling and the air it stung I breathed in dust and it burned my lungs And through the dust a driver came Small and twisted and his face was plain He said love them all All that you need when your heart is small Love them all You're gonna find them when they fall It was not hard to make him out He simply spoke while I had to shout He asked me where you driving child? His voice was clear but his eyes were wild I said I'm going to the city To meet the high and proud And let them know that anger Is the nature of the crowd He said love them all All that you need when your heart is small Love them all You're gonna find them when they fall Love them all All that you need when your heart is small Love them all You're gonna find them when they fall He said your words are lost on the dead When you belong to them Once I was dead and I knew the words Of those dry and hollow men And he took the rope and he hitched me up Freed me from the dust And he helped me round the pilgrims up And lead them to the bus He said love them all All that you need when your heart is small Love them all You're gonna find them when they fall Love them all All that you need when your heart is small Love them all You're gonna find them when they fall Love them all All that you need when your heart is small Love them all You're gonna find them when they fall
"How can someone find me if no one knows I'm lost?" Another thought provoking lyric by SA.
