Yes, they are a similar type of musician. The two have actually collaborated a couple of times.

Good stuff!

Is it ignorance or cynicism? Either way, it's just embarrassing.

Who reads this drivel and thinks: That's a smart analysis, I want to read more of this and take out a subscription?

Lovely, I meant.

One of my favourites.

I love that song.

"Some girls stole your heart
Like most girls do
But a Stainsby girl could break it in two"

Nice choice. :)

It was the song on New Light Through Old Windows that immediately spoke to me. Still a favourite today.

Espresso Logic is very underrated!

Another song Chris Rea wrote about his first daugther. Everyone who has had small children will immediately relate to the feelings conveyed in this song.

Wired to the Moon

Will be shadows too soon
Sleep little angel
Stay wired to the moon"

Does this count as a power ballad? A beautiful musical poem?

Lyrics:
"Put your hand in the paintbox and choose
Which one says the most about you
I would have to pick the deepest shade
The saddest shade of blue
But red is colour I'd choose"

I love Stainsby Girls, great choice. Sad that most just know him for Driving Home for Christmas.

Great song! It's sad most people only know him for Driving Home for Christmas, which would not even make my Top 25.

Eine schöne Wahl!

I would like to send my best wishes to his family and friends and I wish them strength during the holidays. I hope there are many happy memories that make this time a bit easier. Even though I never met Chris Rea personally, his music left its mark on me and will stay with me forever. Thank you!

I saw him live in Bremen one year and it was a completely different experience from any other concert. In my recollection, at some point in every song, he turned away from the audience and went on a crazy guitar solo. It seemed like he was getting lost in the music and forgetting where he was.
