✅ Playlist: • Alvin Lee
Alvin Lee (born Graham Anthony Barnes 19.12.1944 - 6.03.2013) was an English singer and guitarist, best known as the lead vocalist and lead guitarist of the blues rock band Ten Years After / Alvin says “… this is one of my favourite tracks from my album ‘1994’. It has George Harrison on slide guitar and is one of the best solos he ever played (George's solo 2:13 - 3:08) . It’s a masterpiece, so sensitive. Hearing George made me play more sensitive too! I’m very proud of this one.” (Alvin's genius solo 4:00 - 7:27)

I couldn't wait to see you - waiting by the door
There's no one there to meet me - and your clothes are on the floor
Sorry if I hurt you - and I made you cry
Couldn't stand to see you - with another guy
It's the bluest blues - and it cuts me like a knife
It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of my life
Couldn't really tell you - how you hurt my pride
Something broke within me - down inside
I never knew I loved you - til you went away
Now the loneliness surrounds me - everyday
It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of the door
It's the bluest blues - cause I won't see you no more
I'm sorry if I failed you - if somehow I'm to blame
It's the bluest blues I'm feeling - it's a cryin' shame
I just can't live without you - face another day
It's the bluest blues I'm feeling, and it's here to stay
It's the bluest blues, and it cuts me to the bone
It's the bluest blues, when you can't find your way home

#AlvinLee#BluestBlues - เพลง
I was lucky to be playing piano and organ on this track and also in the studio when George laid down the slide. Alvin was my friend for over 50 years and we loved playing music together. I played on many of his records and co wrote a lot of songs with him. As many have said eat yer heart out Eric😉 Tim Hinkley
Brilliant job! Thank you for the comment, Tim. Long creative years to you!
yea,,seen Ten Years After once
,,always loved Alvin
You played with a legend in my book...your a lucky man
My dad took me too see him in MODESTO CALIF. I WAS 16 ,BACK IN 1974. I love too change the world was the song he sang. My first concert. (I JUST LOVE HIM!!!)THANK-YOU✌😛💖
They don’t get any better than this Tim - Wonderful Job ! And to be there helping produce it - your a lucky man !
I'm 65 years old, and that is probably one of the greatest blues songs I have ever heard in my entire life
78 years and I ve never heard it before. Really one of the best pieces of blues ever. Thanks.
I'm 81 and totally agree with you.
Приветствую Вас!Это произведение моей молодости.Настольгия моих родителях. Мне 62 года исполниться 7 марта, без музыки не живу!Ленинград❤❤❤
It is bitchin..
I'm 72 agree
I'm 75 years old, and that is probably one of the greatest blues songs I have ever heard in my entire life!!!!!!!!
This is one of those generational songs that leaves you wondering if you just heard the best Blues song of all time.
Wundetfull
I think you did!
Very true!
This isn't really even a blues tune- it's a power ballad. Only someone who's never listened to Wolf or Muddy or Buddy Guy or Robert Johnson, or Son House or Little Walter or BB or Elmore James would say something this dumb. This is a great song with wonderful performances, but claiming a white guy from England wrote and performed a better blues song than the guys I mentioned is just ridiculous.
@@craighumphrey8287 I'll go with this version if you don't mind.
Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, and Alvin Lee, they left their lives but still living in our mind.
Those Brothers left a massive void behind,Less We Forget by cranking up the volume ..
Gone not forgotten
👊🏾🇳🇿👊🏾
Beautifully said and all so similar talents. Well done.
萩原さん 同感です‼️
@@user-ko1ws1rc6h 特にゲイリームーアと僕は同い年なもので、彼が公演をしていたスペインで急逝したというニュースは、とてもショックでした。
Could I have said it any better? Absolutely not. This music is the binding tie that unites us as brothers and sisters. The universal peacemaker. Amor y Paz. Rock till you drop!!!!
George’s solo with slide is one of the best and emotional tone i ever heard.
My new favorite blues recording. One commenter said it was too short - he could listen to it for hours! I agree. Too short...
Alvin Lee and Ten Years After are vastly underrated. Alvin belongs in the top 10 guitarists of all time and Ten Years After belongs in the top ten bands of all time.
Абсолютно верно !
Totally agree, have loved their stuff since I was in my teens (70s), Alvin long my hero @Scott McGrew
You are so wright Scott!!
Awesome blues
bravo!!! fully agree
Love Alvin Lee so underappreciated and Ten years After were an iconic band.This song is sooo good
yep. unfortunately. BUT - WE KNOW HE BELONGS TO THE ABSOLUTELY TOP OF THE TOPS ::: and nobody will change it ;-)
I saw Alvin Lee and Ten Years After as a young man in San Francisco....I was left in awe and knew immediately that he was a cut above and something rare and special. Today I'm left to question why he together with Ten Years After are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....especially when you consider some who occupy places of prominence there.....this is the man who stole Woodstock among other things.....it boggles my mind that he continues to occupy the hearts of so many, but is unrecognized by his peers.
You are so right. People don't know how great Alvin was.
Alvin Lee was one of the greatest, I saw him in Frankfurt.
Noting about Alvin Lee is {under appreciated} is this some new lingo for the overused (underrated), ugh say it ain’t sooo 😑
What to say...hard to find words ....our generation was lucky to enjoy this music..
Good luck to next ones
Я ВОСХИЩАЮСЬ ВСЮ ЖИЗНЬ, МНЕ 62 ГОДА, ЛЮБЛЮ ОЧЕНЬ РАЗНУЮ МУЗЫКУ, НО , КОГДА СЛЫШУ БЛЮЗ, Я ПРОКРУЧИВАЮ ВСЮ ЖИЗНЬ, СЛЕЗЫ СЧАСТЬЯ И Я ЖИВУ ВНОВЬ!Ленинград❤❤❤
My dad showed me this song when I was just a kid, now I’m 45 and keep listening to this song from time to time, one of my favorites.
Didnt know George Harrison collaborated on this masterpiece. Now I love it more than ever.
Me too, 🤣🤣
Amen
Slide guitar..it's beautiful... perfect
Alvin and George were neighbors. Well actually… they still are. ❤️
Alvin Lee was one of the greatest guitar players of our time.God rest his soul
Absolutely
So was so many others before .
Oh fuck ya he was. Lucky to see 10 yrs aft 4 times in mid 70's
Yes,all time! Khamid.
@@rikaroo Rick you lucky guy,saw him alive, be proud,it,s your remember,l am glad for you.good luck.Khamid.
Beautiful slide guitar solo by the late great George Harrison. Absolutely brilliant!!
HLT - I have loved everything George Harrison has played; he has a very unique sound that is identifiable.
I had no idea that was George Harrison 😳 epic
My favorite Beatle. For my Father/Daughter dance at my daughters wedding, she picked Here Comes the Sun, it reminds her of happier times!
@@maxperry1635
I don’t play the guitar 🎸 but imo Derek Trucks is THE best slide player that I’ve ever heard!
George's slide is amazing.
These kids today have no idea the era of true blues and rockin roll us baby boomers grew up with. Dying breed of artist this world will never see again. AI will change it. I was so sad when Alvin Lee perished from this screwed up world. I lived in the best of times and we enjoyed the greatest musicians and music.
I'd love to change the world! But I don't know what to do!
RIP ALVIN LEE! 😉🙏🙏🕊✌✌
✨💙✌️💙✨
Agreed at 60.....never again
AT 77 THIS IS STILL ONE OF THE VERY BEST PIECES OF MUSIC EVER.....
Same at 74 🥰. Take care Dear Friend 🙏🏻
At 79 here, not bad at all...
The one minute slide solo from George is simply beautiful and fits the song perfectly.
Sad to say but this is the first time I've ever heard this. Absolutely beautiful
George Harrison plays the first guitar solo
Really hits home. Divorced after 40 years together
@@johnshuler8688 Sorry Friend. It rips your heart out.
I hope you all have heard this song before. And it's new to me and I'm 64years old and my father who did not care for rock music Would have been sooooo into this song and I wish I could have been able to let him here and enjoy this song 😢 because I don't have my father anymore 😢 But I'm happy to hear this song and I will never forget the first time I heard those blues.
@WildBill-ur6jp This is an epic blues number. I've been a fan of Alvin Lee, and Ten Years After since 1970 when I bought their LP "Sssh." Alvin is a very underrated guitarist. I like to think he was "shredding" before it was a thing.
Losing a Father is a hard blow. Mine gave me the love of music. He left in 1985. Sometimes it seems like yesterday.
Truly, this is a great song.
I always loved this song but assumed Alvin played the slide solo. Great to learn it was Harrison. Alvin was amazing and sadly so under appreciated. Definitely in the pantheon of blues and rock guitarists.
A dog laying by your feet and good music will always be mans best friends. Magnificent piece of Music. ☮
Has to be a german shepherd dog……
And with a good 12 year old scotch..... single malt or double doesn't matter....
@@johnkumeu811... so you never had an Akita Inu as a companion walking at your side. 😊
A dog actually LYING by your feet (as we say in English), is even better!
Both RIP To Alvin and George one of the best Blus songs Ever Rock-on
Harrison played slide on this? Jeez, respect. Now I love it even more.
who plays slide like that!
Chris Ray?
Rea
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this - I was absolutely stunned, and I am every time I hear it. It is an absolute masterpiece!!
Me neither. Alvin Lee to me was always a great player who could shred unbelievably ala Goin' Home.A beautiful song and beautiful solo by Harrison. Alvin's solo is a melodic masterpiece and completely different from what I'd come to expect from him having listened to him over the years. I was shocked when I first heard it.
Just epic. Its 52 years on now since he blew Woodstock away with I'm Going Home which I will never forget. His playing still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck today. RIP Alvin Lee.
Amen!
I am 74 next January. I was at the Isle of Wight in 1970. Nobody can have the memories today like I have. 5 days of TYA, The WHO, Hendrix, Doors etc..............
@@keithdonnellan5564 : Im also 74 this August 2022, I was in Hyde Park for the Stones and Blind Faith Concerts in 69, tripping on Acid at both as we did some of that way back when. Left the UK in 1970 and never lived there again... thankfully...
TYA--Alvin Lee, Fillmore East, love, brotherhood--heaven
Let's not forget Leo Lyons thumbing that bass...)) I wonder if Alvin had ever used an SG as that neck is a bit faster than an ES335. Botched operation took Alvin to heaven, but a little too soon. Same can be said of the always dapper Charlie Watts.
Quand j'avais 15 ans Alvin Lee était mon guitariste préféré ; aujourd'hui je me dis que j'avais sacrément bon gout !
Just beautiful!!! Brought tears.....hearing George's slide guitar solo. The singing....everything about this song is just perfect!!!!
Alvin Lee and George Harrison, it don't get any better than that.
this is what it sounds like when a guitar has the blues...pure, and straight from the soul
Jeff Sacks yes....when a guitar cries and wails...this is the sounnnnd
Love this Guy!! Never got the Respect He Deserves!!!#
Alvin's guitar speaks with such passion!
This is the best bluesy rock song ever !!!
Definitely. That riff was fkn outstanding.
I was fortunate enough to see Alvin Lee play in a small club in Brooklyn, NY, in the 80s. Does anyone remember the club Lamores . I saw many a great bands there. RIP Alvin and George.
Found this when seeking consultation after my two sons left to live their own lives.
Just expressed how I felt at that time trying to fill the void and silence.
A chair is just a chair.
When no one's sitting there.🤔
Mr. George Harrison is playing the 1st slide guitar lead and it is just touching how good he was. Awesome! RIP both of you guys!
Must b jammin up in Heaven. Can't wait to get their.
@@paulcota5465 Magic isn't real.
Where has this been all my life? What a great song.
hogula you know what’s good music my friend 👍
I have listened as a term of 14 years old 🙏
You have missed it now you now it 🙏
I can never get enough of this tune. It is so soul stirring.
I remember the first time I heard this song I thought how could something so beautiful be so sad. I was floored.
I was just saying the other day that George Harrison was a great guitar player and my buddy said he didn't think he was. Gotta have him listen to this. Alvin Lee played some great live shows and yes made great records.
Unless you have lost someone truly special, idk if you can hear this song ....truly
Well said.
Just absolutely INSANE guitar playing and incredible singing! It just penetrates the soul of me.
I have listened to Alvin Lee for as long as he's put out music. This song is daily play lately, my wife passed end of March. The bluest Blues without her. His guitar skills are vastly under rated. I can lose myself while he's playing. I can't ask for more. Thanks for posting
I have not heard anyone come close to playing guitar . It moves you deeply. some will cry.
Sorry for your loss.

@@sandydority2532 I appreciate your taking the time to express sympathy to someone you'll likely never meet. I've used music to help get through the death of my wife, which followed the death of our daughter and my father all within the space of 15 months. Music was an essential part of our marriage, helping to bring us together and create many important memories to share. Karen, my wife's name but nothing like the stereotype that name has acquired, was a trained contralto voice and a conductor as well. My complete lack of musical talent gave me a sense of awe towards her beautiful vocal skills. For all of the performances she was involved in, I only possess one recording of her singing as a soloist. But that song sung in classical German evokes tears of joy and loss every time I play it. It's a perfect match to her vocal range, and allows her natural talent and love for music to be given it's best possible expression. Obviously I'm not neutral in my review of signing, but I will always take some pride in being her partner in life.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to put down in words what we shared in life and what I've lost when she passed away. If this attempt at writing a comment in reply to you is successful, it will be the fourth time I've tried to put into words how our time together made me a better person. I've been using the comment sections as a kind of personal therapy. Telling others about the grief I feel and the constant fog daily life has become, has kept me from bottling everything inside. Being able to vent has probably stopped me from spiraling down and out. So I thank you and so many others for reminding me that life can still have moments of beauty and hope even though I've lost those who gave it meaning and purpose. When you take the time to express sympathy because you can understand what it might feel like to be in their shoes, it helps to remind me that my life isn't over because of what I've lost. The world is still full of beauty and good people if I can keep going. What I've lived through is preparation for what comes next. Thanks again, hope your day goes well. Also wanted to mention that I love the font you used in your comment. Could you tell me where you found it? Peace
🌃😢🌃
Alvin Lee was an incredible guitar player
He also was an incredible musician and entertainer, he truly was one of the greats...RIP
This is it. This is the blues at it's best.
Hence “The Bluest Blues”
Could this be the greatest guitar solo ever? Jaw dropping in its beauty and intensity.
Same league as Comfortably Numb
@@davidanboo1205 My exact same thought.
Not only a masterpiece for Lee but Harrison as well. I actually have to remember to breath while listening to this.
Could be... it takes you off to infinity.
Alvin Lee never got his due. A true true artist
Yes he certainly blew Woodstock away with the song I'm going home
I totally agree, I have been listening to Ten Years After and Alvin Lee since I joined Columbia Music Club in the late 1960’s! It was the only way I could afford a turntable! He is/was fantastic!
Such a hypnotic tune , Alvin Lee was one of the best English Bluesmen of his time, rip
Just found this beautiful piece, lucky me.
I just found it as well! I am lucky as well! 👍❤️
Indeed, thank you Yt random recommended.
I often talk about slow guitar, which in many ways is just as difficult to play properly as speed guitar. This track shows that perfectly. Two awesome, but completely different solos. RIP to two sorely missed geniuses.
One of the high points of my life was sitting on the side of the stage with Alvin when he played here in Baltimore on September 30, 1972. I was working for the promoter and had a backstage pass. J Geils band was the opening act. So I decided to go up to the side stage to sit there and watch them perform and while I was sitting there waiting for them to start Alvin came up and sat down next to me. We started a conversation which continued off and on through the opening act. It was like sitting there and talking with your best friend and just enjoying the music together. I remember he was very impressed with J Geils. When Alvin took the stage he blew everyone away!
I also saw this show but at the spectrum in Pa. J Geils was amazing
. All that roach dope saved for two weeks then all re rolled all night long.
Just imagine the world if Al how to change it. He wouldn't have left it up to
You,
Lucky you, great memory for a lifetime;)
We saw them 2 nights outta 3 standing in front of him at the House of Blues in Chicago in 1997-- Spoke with him in the lounge before one of the shows-- Always one of my favorite guitar players!!!!! We saw them in the early 70s in the Amphitheatre a couple of times too
Awesome, how lucky were you?
Is there a more prefect blues tune? Blues guitar, slide guitar and pitch-perfect blues vocals. Pure blues perfection! Thank God He blessed us all with Alvin Lee! Lee's music will live forever in the hearts of rock and blues fans.
Здорово сказано!Привет Санкт Петербург
Wow. Just heard this for the first time. What an amazing piece of music. The guitar tone is 11/10 and the notes are sublime. Wish I'd followed Alvin through his career. I feel that I've missed out. And that everyone else has too.
Alvin cut many a great Albums. He was very versatile and played a variety of styles. Known primarily for His lightning rock blues riffs. But Alvin’s Collaboration with others is a great tribute to his love and friendships. Alvin was just as happy playing country stuff and even gospel. He made a great album with Mylon Lefevere’ -the great southern born rock gospel singer and many other great albums. George plays such tasty slide on this song. Alvin plays the tastiest soulful blues at lightning speed. Honestly how this recording is not more well known is a hard to fathom
Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, (the first) Fleetwood Mac, etc....all the bands I grew up with. So glad I was able to enjoy the best years of Rock blues. So many memories.
me too :)

Looks like that makes Me5?
It makes me cry when I think about it. We lived in the golden age, didn't we?
One of the best Blues Songs ever played.
Not quite mate.
YUP. Have to agree.
Agree
Everyone I hear it I cry. It's too much.
Amen brother Dave B.
I'm 63.the Messiah is coming was the best rock blues song I ever heard until 15 minutes ago. And now this 💙 bluest of blues has rearrange everything after so many decades. I'm stunned. Very pleasantly so! ❤
Beautiful, I love this! George Harrison's slide guitar makes me weep. And Alvin Lee's solo gives me goosebumps. ☮ ♥ ♫
...George Harrison plays the slide solo!!!two of the best british musicians of all time..rip both
I've always thought Alvin Lee and Gary Moore were the most under appreciated guitarists in rock history. Such incredible talent!
and Roy Buccanhan
@@kozykid And Rory.
you take the words out of my mouth, im 67 and reach to those 2 guys all the time, especially these days when you need to escape for awhile!!
And Santana and Dicky Betts
Gary Moore under appreciated ???? He has legions of fans. Alvin Lee, certainly. He was the shit.
Alvin Lee...my only inspiration for 55 years and absolute guitar hero. I'm very sad that I never got to see him perform live. This track is beautifully composed and will touch anyone's heart. Thanks Oleg for posting. Wonderful keyboard contribution.
This is the Bluest Blues I've ever listened to,so beautiful! RIP Alvin Lee
Hello Robbie, How are you doing?
Unreal, Bluest Blues. Red house, life doesnt get much better.
Two amazing artists we are blessed to have in our lives! Amazing!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever
dear Alvin, your guitar gives me chills and makes me weep. Thanks for the art and beauty of your soul.
✨💙⚡️💙✨
If could play like that I would be sooooo happy and excited to be alive and then my life would be complete.
George Harrison's slide guitar made me cry.
Alvin Lee and Gary Moore....both so missed
Simon Greening and Snowy White and Chris Rea
Simon Greening AMEN!
Gary Moore Died of What ?
And Rory imho.
Simon Greening and you can add Rory Gallagher in there
Sentire questa musica ti fa venire i brividi . Bravo Alvin
I wish Alvin could have had surgery somewhere besides Spain?
I miss him so very much.
He was so amazing.
Thank you so very much Mr. Alvin Lee, and Mr. George Harrison, for such a beautifully produced song. I believe that after 62 years of life, this is by far my favorite song. Peace to you both and yours always.
An absolute rock music fanatic my whole life, I've absolutely loved to death many tracks and never thought I would see a song beat any of them. Started listening to this one last year and this is the greatest. The guitar solos are truly unbelievable. Tears in my eyes every time I listen
I turn 60 on the 15th of this month, and I just heard this song! It's by far; ""THE BEST BLUE'S SONG EVER!!""
Harrison's slide playing on this is top drawer
possibly the most unique slide player ever. derek trucks is great, but george.........god-like
Hi I never heard him play bad SLIDE didn't get enough credit for His Great SLIDE Gimme Some Truth
Fantastic music and photography. Amasing video.
Man.... George layin down some sweet blues slide. Great song with great players makes for great music. Thanks to all involved, but especially Alvin and George.
One of the most complete examples of a blues song I've ever heard.
Beginning to End.
I totally agree ..
Thomas Owens indeed
Yessss
Hands down, the finest blues song ever..in my opinion. Alvin and the gang at their most soulful. This masterpiece never fails to make me tear up. I'm 67 years old and listened to 10 Years After on and off since the Woodstock movie, however I only recently discovered this track. Maybe that's a good thing cuz it renewed my interest in Alvin's work.
OMG. This track gives me the shivers. Alvin really nails it. And George is pluperfect. Can't stop listening to it.
I've known 10 years after for a very long time but this video touched me till my d... long live rock n roll!!!
Surely a candidate for the “ greatest outré guitar solo “ in the history of the instrument…..For me Alvin was the supremo( and still is ) ❤
one of the most underrated pieces of music
Listened to this in the "Nordpol" in Lutjenburg, DB, in '69, and it was a hit for us blues fans then. I hear it today and it still is, this being '19. What is this crap called rap?
c'mon.. one of the highly respected white bluesman...wht r u saying about..
Incredible! Especially the last couple minutes. What a wonderful thing to stumble onto.
not to me
I get it now , I'am 67 and got it when I was 16, love his blues and his rock. Coming Home how could you forget.
The greatest solo on electric guitar I've ever heard. Absolutely off the chain 🔥♥️
Then you never heard or seen Tina S playing the Moonlight Sonate from Beethoven ;-)
th-cam.com/video/o6rBK0BqL2w/w-d-xo.html&si=LDy2tJbB9DkNTKY4
This is one of the most awesome songs I ever heard in my life!!!
Credo che ognuno in fondo abbia un blues nel cuore, questo di Alvin è tra quelli a me più cari
Beautiful slide solo by George H.
Outstanding playing from George
My God fantastically done...
Wow, first time I hear that one....always like Alvin «I'd like to change the world but I don't know what to do so I 'll leave it up to you»...Great Blues and great slide by Harrison.
I really love this song ,it's ...Too much !! Alvin was extraordinary...❤
George Harrison played slide guitar on this song, another under rated guitarist.
George mi manchi tantissimo!,,
George also played slide on alvins song real life blues,george was one of the greatest slide guitar players
very true,how can a great guitar player like Alvin lee,who never use another guitar ,but then uses George to play slide ,and like eric Clapton using duane allman to play slide on his best ever song Layla,the 2 best slide guitars players ever
Underrated as a slide guitarist
@@keven11224 I think they just liked collaborating with each other.
Alvin Lee wasn’t just a superb guitar player, but also a brilliant lyricist. The songs he wrote with TYA were amazing!! RIP Alvin ❤️
This year marks 50 years, was the last time I got to see TEN YEARS AFTER. ALWAYS IN MY HEART!
I’m embarrassed to admit it: I’m 61 and have never really paid much attention to Alvin Lee or TYA. Thanks to this video, that will be changing, effective immediately.
George è come un grande fiume da cui si diramano infiniti corsi d'acqua...Più leggo,conosco, ascolto di lui ,piu scopro cose meravigliose come questa..Tante preziose collaborazioni, una miniera di esperienze,uno sconfinato talento...e tutto senza fare tanto rumore.Grazie per tutto al dolce george, chi lo segue e lo ama è oggi più ricco
One of the most beautiful songs, one of my favorites.
What a beautiful composition. The music is soothing; the vocal is healing.
I sat at Alvins feet at Cobo Hall in Detroit. I was in awe of his talent. It was 1970.
Cool--- Same here except in 1997 at the House of Blues in Chicago-- 2 outta 3 nights we stood right in front of him in the 1st row.......
Great guitar Master of the craft. Loved how he pretty much used a Gibson 335 model for his career, and was a testament to how many sounds/tones that guitar can make. He was a genius and is sorely missed, RIP Alvin
Joe B. has his guitar.
Alvin Lee and George Harrison were awesome guitar legends! I am glad this is available to view! Thank you!
Two great masters, and humble Heart. God bess both of them!
Just clicked this by chance - best 7 mins+ I've heard in a long long time -- question is -- why isn't this track/artist more "out there". Going to have to rethink my "bests" listening list.
In the 60s every body was listening to the Beatles I listened to the blues and I never looked back
Great solo at the end amazing to say the least. George's slide is so sweet, blue but melodic, George could never play a bad note.
Alvin is probably the most underappreciated blues guitarist. He was amazingly talented and his lyrics either lift you up to heaven, make you reflective or fill you with joy. He and Gary Moore leave you breathless with their talent and their ability. A great loss to us all.
@honestmark102 you an Alvin fan?
@honestmark102 Britain
@honestmark102 am good thanks, you? Its been a glorious day, listening to Alvin, yet again!
Such a heart opener.
How to climb up and out of the metaphoric grave and into the grace of meaning.
Sadness, is not the end, its just a new beginning.
Ahh such a beautifull song ! Text, music,everything. I suddenly get this pressure on my tear glands....
