This really hit me at when you played it in Siegburg last weekend. It's problably going to stir up some strong emotions for quite some time whenever it comes around. I'm sorry for your loss; I admire how you've put this into something so beautiful. Thank you for that.
He made Genesis sound like Genesis again since the departure of Gabriel and Hackett!!... Collins made the band sound too commercial... pop... Collins's Genesis or Collins solo work, sounds pretty much the same!!... I'm not sayin' it is bad, but it just doesn't sound like Genesis, so i guess we can say that although he brought commercial success to the band, he ruined theis musical line heritage... Would have been better if he had remained as only the drummer...
heard of Ray way back in the 90's when i had purchased the genesis-calling all stations LP and friggen loved his voice! found out very recently that he fronted a band called stiltskin. great tunes! his post-genesis tunes are simply beautiful,this guy can WRITE and make awesome music with catchy hooks. should've been a huge artist worldwide.
very heart touching singing. Love that song a lot! I saw him doing it in Rosenhof in Osnabrück/Germany last year. It was a pleasure! A very nice person!
Ich fahr alle 6 Monate zu Ray. Man brauch es für die Seele. Immer wieder was schönes, wie dieses Lied. Ehrlich Arbeit für wenig Geld. Gibt es kaum noch heute.
Hey, Ray! Another beautiful album you released. I see that it does not end there. Next month will listen a new album. I've heard parts of your new album in the broadcast of Peter Kosinski. There are great song, less acoustic, with more power, but I like it! :) By the way - I often see you at the Old Brewery, when You walk down. I want to approach You and ask for an autograph on one of your albums, but a little afraid of your reaction. In the end, it's your private time.
Got your Album Ray and it's beautiful.Surprised i got it so quickly though.Nearly 3 weeks early.Cheers mate.Hope you come back to the place you grew up sometime.Carlisle is such a lovely place and even your old school is looking good for it's age.Best wishes mate.
How beautiful! Yet, having read the back story of this song today (in Prog magazine. \m/) so sad. RIP James. Loving this so much! This reaches deep into my soul. Nice work, Guys... \m/ (:o)

Hi Bartosz, Here are the full lyrics for you: Song For A Friend If you look over there, that's where I was born And if you close your eyes and visualise, you'll see me kick a football down the road I had a happy childhood, I always loved to dance And all the boys would make a fool out of me, but the girls would take a chance And it all feels like yesterday It's amazing how the time just drifts away I love sea air If you look over there, that's where my old Ma worked Every day at 5 am she'd get up so that she could take care of us There was never a day going by where we could not rely on our old Mam I can't imagine life without her, I can imagine now She made everything perfect She was just the best Mam in the world Don't you love sea air If you look over there, that's where I will die I’ll take this old chair of mine and drive into the sea And all the fishes they will laugh at me and seagulls they will snap at me but I, aye, I will find my peace again Oh I love the sea air oh oh, oh oh oh Oh I love the sea air
Ray I remember Your interview few months ago in one polish radio. You told the story of this song but I remember only a few fragments. I was thrilled. The ending of this story was very sad. Would You be so king a tell one more time? Now every time when I watch or listen this song I have that person in front of my eyes...
I can't stop coming back to this song. Haunting and poignant. Time catches up with us all, Such is life, darnit. Thank you Ray

Just magnificent Ray, no words to explain the feeling of this song. Thanks for it
Beautiful song , genesis found him and lost him ... it is so sad . I wish they get back with him , genesis needs him .

This song reminds me of my childhood in Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland. It just resonates with me.
Just amazing.

Gorgeous voice and beautiful lyrics
Ray is better and better artist!!!I have seen with Genesis long time ago..now is my fav artist!!
He made Genesis sound like Genesis again since the departure of Gabriel and Hackett!!...
Collins made the band sound too commercial... pop...
Collins's Genesis or Collins solo work, sounds pretty much the same!!... I'm not sayin' it is bad, but it just doesn't sound like Genesis, so i guess we can say that although he brought commercial success to the band, he ruined theis musical line heritage...
Would have been better if he had remained as only the drummer...

Wenn du dort hinschaust, wurde ich geboren
Und wenn Sie Ihre Augen schließen und visualisieren,
Du wirst sehen, wie ich einen Football auf die Straße trete
Ich hatte eine glückliche Kindheit, ich liebte es immer zu tanzen
Und alle Jungs würden mich zum Narren machen
Aber die Mädchen würden ein Risiko eingehen
Und alles fühlt sich an wie gestern
Es ist erstaunlich, wie die Zeit einfach wegdriftet
Ich liebe Seeluft
Wenn du dort hinschaust, hat meine alte Ma gearbeitet
Jeden Tag um 5 Uhr stand sie auf
Damit sie sich um uns kümmern konnte
Es verging nie ein Tag
Wo wir uns nicht auf unsere alte Mutter verlassen konnten
ich kann mir das Leben ohne sie nicht vorstellen,
Ich kann mir das jetzt nicht vorstellen
Sie hat alles perfekt gemacht
Sie war einfach die beste Mam in der Welt
Liebst du Seeluft nicht?
Oh oh oh oh oh
Wenn du dort hinschaust, werde ich sterben
Ich werde diesen alten Stuhl von mir nehmen und ins Meer fahren
Und alle Fische werden sie über mich auslachen
Und Möwen werden sie an mir reißen
Aber ich, ja, ich werde wieder Frieden finden
Oh ich liebe die Seeluft
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ich liebe die Seeluft
Can somebody tell me what does he sing please? I can't get the moment with "i love......." There are no lyrics on the internet :(
Hi Bartosz,
Here are the full lyrics for you:
Song For A Friend
If you look over there, that's where I was born
And if you close your eyes and visualise, you'll see me kick a football down the road
I had a happy childhood, I always loved to dance
And all the boys would make a fool out of me, but the girls would take a chance
And it all feels like yesterday
It's amazing how the time just drifts away
I love sea air
If you look over there, that's where my old Ma worked
Every day at 5 am she'd get up so that she could take care of us
There was never a day going by where we could not rely on our old Mam
I can't imagine life without her, I can imagine now
She made everything perfect
She was just the best Mam in the world
Don't you love sea air
If you look over there, that's where I will die
I’ll take this old chair of mine and drive into the sea
And all the fishes they will laugh at me and seagulls they will snap at me but I, aye, I will find my peace again
Oh I love the sea air oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh I love the sea air
+Ray Wilson Thank you! I wasn't expecting the answer from you! I'm really grateful.
Ray I remember Your interview few months ago in one polish radio. You told the story of this song but I remember only a few fragments. I was thrilled. The ending of this story was very sad. Would You be so king a tell one more time? Now every time when I watch or listen this song I have that person in front of my eyes...
Bartosz Kapka I love the sea air
:-)
Excellent !!!
