Chris de Burgh has recorded many wonderful and sensitive love songs, one of which was recently the focus of Erika Kind’s Post (https://erikakind.me/2018/01/23/romantictuesday-song-20/), but he has also recorded many “hard-hitting” songs which can really impact our social conscience. As a change of pace from my last three Saturday Posts, this song by Chris de Burgh is more driving … and has a relentless drum which holds everything together! Enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed it. I have 12 of his albums. If you want to gamble on one, get either “This Way Up” (a lovely collection of songs), or “Moonfleet & Other Stories”. (“Moonfleet” is a very touching story in song”.

Thanks! I just listened to “Moonfleet”, it is another touching song! Now “My Heart’s Surrender” is playing. Another beautiful song. I want to listen to some songs from “This Way Up” now, I see that I am not going to get away from the computer as quickly as I was planning too. LOL!
When Brad gets home from work I will have to tell him that he has some new music he needs for his collection. 🙂

I was introduced to his music by a friend many, many years after his first album in 1974, and now love a large proportion of his songs. He really is good! 🙂
