Great passion you brought to the song and video Sharon - like Claire in Outlander before there was Outlander. Thanks for posting this. Any other memories of the band?
I absolutely love Big Country. They had an honesty and unpretentious sound that stands any test of time. Saw loads of bands in the eighties and Big Country were definitely the best live act I saw
Stuart would have turned 63 today..11 April 1958 Manchester - 16 December 2001 Honolulu. He took his own like a few miles from where I live.. So sad. We you Love Stuart..
My dad used to have the big country album on cassette in the car - this song in particular just reminds me of those long summer car journeys as a child ❤
Remember I was 23 and recently met my future wife just before this came out, I remember asking her who this was singing on her cassette player, WOW 34 years ago and still with the love of my life, good memories and greatest music back then.
@@valeriemcmahon7998 So sadly missed , a great guy so down to earth, I was home for christmas and went to see a band with my sisters and mentioned I was friends with Stuart , my wife said you mite know him but freinds ??. A week later out celebrating New Year Stuart and Bruce came out of a pub Stuart shouts " happy new year mick" he and Bruce come over to shake hands . Needless to say the wife was gobsmacked the THEY came to greet me ,she then had to admit I was friends
Was a fan of Stuart way back when he was a member of the Skids. Can feel his heartfelt emotions in his lyrics. Stuart left far more than a legacy in music, he left hope for all. RIP Stuart,gone but never forgotten
Big country are just brilliant, im 58 now but they have definitely left their mark in the 80s amongst all the other talented stars , the 80s will never die in my eyes.
Not only beautiful but an incredibly great song which is also very underrated. I can confidently say that this song along with other 80's gems will eventually get their time in the spotlight. Wow.
I've been listening to this song and watching the music video for about 15 years but finally felt the need to comment about it. Big Country is my favorite band of all-time. That being said, there was one thing they did arguably better than anyone else and it was creating a perfect duality of light and dark. The anthemic guitar riffs and swells are complimented by such heartbreaking lines such as "...but now it's done. I always knew that we would never find the sun". RIP Stuart Adamson, one of the greatest poets of my lifetime and any other.
Liked Big Country in the eighties as in always liked their songs when I heard them on the radio- now years later, having properly listened to their music and delved into the lyrical content I’m amazed at how good the songwriting. Beautiful lyricist and fabulous musicians. They were brilliant.
I was lucky enough to have just turned 16 when this song came out. The perfect age to experience it for the first time. That sense of excitement and yearning for adventure...young love...hormones coursing through my veins. I loved this song then, now (2022) and forever. God Bless you, Stuart. I hope you've found the peace you so well deserve.
Just superb. They were great in the 80s where i was in my prime. But, when i listen now to the band, they have such depth and meaning to their songs. I can't get enough of them now. Long live the 80s, and im sure im not alone in my thoughts with the 80s. Honest, great times we had.
YES it was indeed. Fantastic band in an amazing era. Very wisely chosen words. Couldn't have said it better in any way. Scottish bands always have quality, doesn't matter which you choose, btw. I also love Scotland, have been there once. You are not the only one with that opinion, greetings from Germany.
The 80’s was a great time for bands from Scotland simple minds big country altered images just lead the way and put Scotland on the map for amazing music
I love this song. It was released when I was 6. It has always meant a lot to me. Just pure 80’s perfection. Lyrically it just has a sense of romance and heartbreak. And the guitars! I listen to it at least once a week.
That's right, we were very excited to be alive. The 80's is the best and greatest decade in the history of the Universe. The underlying subconscious factor was the constant fear of Nuclear War. "We'd better have a good time right now, because each minute could be our last " We had three evil monsters with their fingers hovering above the button. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and George H W Bush. Extreme Right-Wing monsters. So what we needed was great music and vibrant, colourful clothing to disguise our constant fear. The decade of excess and greed brought about the most sickening economic depression of the early 90's. This plunged the Western world into a decade of darkness. Grunge with it's flanno shirts and introspective lyrics creating deep sadness and Rap n Hip Hop with its racist and misogynistic lyrics. The World and the music has never recovered. Captains of Industry telling the public what they have to like. Manufactured, generic 'music' All the singers and artists sound the same. Sterilised and homogenised 'people' The complete opposite to PUNK n NEW WAVE. The Planet was at its Zenith then. Historians will look back at the mid-late 1970's and the 1980's as the pinnacle of human art n culture. I was born in 1961, I saw and heard it all.
This song is based on the outlaw Harry Tracy. The first part of the song is about being on the run from the law. Harry Tracy killed 11 or more men and eventually committed suicide to avoid being done in by the authorities. "I never meant to kill a man" alludes to how Harry was playing cards with a man when a fight over cheating broke out, and the other man's gun discharged, and hit him, killing him. Harry protested his innocence in the silent film I watched on the topic called "Tracy The Outlaw". "Look away, look away From the lies in the stories that were told" alludes to the stories that were written in the press at the time that were untrue such as him raping, and killing his school house teacher as a child. "Look away, look away From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul" alludes to his wife who was the sister of fellow outlaw David Merrill. He escaped from prison to track her down. He knew he was an outlaw, and was never going to be allowed to live happy with his love. All of this of course was very relatable to Stuart Adamson. He didn't like touring life, or the business side of music. He also had to deal with press that was not often favorable to him. He wanted to be with his family, but knew that he could not. His first marriage ended in divorce, and surely he felt his music career was a big part of his family not being successful in this regard. He went missing on the day that his second wife filed for divorce. He ultimately chose to end his life the same way that Harry Tracy did - suicide :-(
@@chrisgreenwood2882 you're welcome brother and Bruce Watson and Mark Brzezicki are the only 2 surviving members left from the original line up and Big Country is still together, recording, and touring
Really good information, thank you. Stewart was such a thoughtful lyricist, phenomenal guitarist, high quality singer, great song writer. He had it all. One of those bands that are tragically overlooked including by me in the eighties, only really have been listening properly to them for about three years. They were a truly great band.
One of my absolute favorite bands of all time. Years ago, I stumbled upon a public concert they gave in Union Square in San Francisco. Hadn't planned it, recognized the music, and hustled over to see it. Sweet!
I've only heard the opposite of that on many occasions. Even from Millennials. A truly remarkable decade for music. Bands that were overshadowed because of the sheer amount of musical talent would shine in todays barren landscape.
As a millennial, I can 100% cast iron guarantee that 'your music' was infinitely better. How do you think we all got our music tastes. The reason for all the contemporary shite is parents not passing on their love in the form of music to their children.
What a great band with so many great songs and most people don’t even know about them. In the 80s you may have heard a few songs but sure don’t hear them on the radio anymore what a shame. Their songs get you wanting to dance or bounce around. Love this band.
Being a musician for 45 years, I find that Big Country has a particular quality that I have a hard time defining. Maybe it's because they're from Scotland, which is so rich in history, giving Scottish people a way about them that shines through in their creative endeavors. One of my favorite lyrics, ever..."Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold." Colorful and brilliant, in my humble opinion.
still one of my fav songs, and music videos all these years later, often used to imagine a great cowboy epic story being told to the words of this song, also the one song i cannot for the life of me work out how to play on guitar ..
Thanks for posting this. I hope you put more videos of this great band. I have the video collection on DVD, but this is a great thing to promote among the new generations, and to watch it mobile.
Why the hell is the volume level on this so XXXXing quiet? This is a song to be rip-roaringly blasted out but I had to turn the volume up to the top to hear it from any distance.

There's a video that is exactly the same by the same band, but in black and white.

No, it's "Look Away," and it's in black and white instead of color.
I never saw it!

Saw Big country in Cork December 22. Great night. Great band. Not the same without Stuart but spirit is alive
I was about 20 when this song came out; one of those tunes you just don't forget, even once you're old.
We had it on one of the compilation albums you could get with Weetabix tokens in the 80s, it was listened to till the tape was worn out.
Remember I was 23 and recently met my future wife just before this came out, I remember asking her who this was singing on her cassette player, WOW 34 years ago and still with the love of my life, good memories and greatest music back then.

Dig it!
Not me no way June 24, saw them early 80s at a free gig in Glasgow greens fleshers Haugh football pitches 👌
July . 38 years ago...
Most underrated band of the 80s in my opinion
Definitely one of them brother.
Only know this song, but it definitely is an 80s gem
Along with the alarm
Certainly under appreciated.
Along with the class band OMD.
Big country are just brilliant, im 58 now but they have definitely left their mark in the 80s amongst all the other talented stars , the 80s will never die in my eyes.
Stuart was a literary genius, I don’t think he even knew how amazing and totally underrated he really was
Stuart was one of the best singer songwriters ever
Not only beautiful but an incredibly great song which is also very underrated. I can confidently say that this song along with other 80's gems will eventually get their time in the spotlight. Wow.
They had some of the best guitar riffs ever!
Totally and a very distinguishable sound. Good bassist and drummer too

V. authentic. Something very genuine about them. All about the music and song.
Who is that actress?? She is stunning!
Still sounding bloody brilliant.......!

Best band to come out of the 80's. Still sound great to this day!
Don't forget other bands or artists in the 80's like-The Police, U2, The Cult, Suzanne Vega, Dire Straits, The Cure, Gary Moore, The Smiths, etc etc
./the police sucked
Well we will have to agree to disagree on that one Dutchboy
Big Country and The Police were both great.
Oh, for a minute there I thought you meant they were still performing, because I heard the lead singer died in 2001.
I'm born in '82, this morning I heard this song for the first time in my life and am listening since then and will never stop!
And your from where exactly?
Miss the original Big Country.
Haven't heard this in a long time but still sounds great.
I thank God everyday for the invention of the internet & utube..Stuart, we know you are no longer on this Earth but your legacy is...RIP dear one.....

This is a gem. Just an absolute gen of a song
i can imagine most of their songs would work on a Game of Thrones sound track.
Great band
3:29 Why didn't they get on their horses? The brown horsie was like, hey, where ya'll goin', meeeeeeheheheheheeee???!!!
I haven't seen this in a long time, but this is clearly Big Country's best video. Great editing.
1986! And still to actually and sophisticated and with this Scottish fusion ! Wonderful ! RIP STUART !

Saw then twice here in New Mexico, met Tony and Stuart. Always the best live show and super nice guys. Thanks for the music

Stuart Adamson is James Dean Bradfield's hero and inspiration, you can her the influance 'In Design for Life' especially
"When I say run, you run, and when I say hide, you hide" - Rob Roy McGregor..
this and then jericos song big area were my jam. god i wish i had my youth all over again
I’m 15 now and I still think the genre of music is the best the world has produced. RIP Stuart. You are missed my friend ❤️
Absolutely brilliant and underrated songwriting group
You listen to the dribble like Ed shearing and others of today bringing similar songs out every 2 weeks
Nar this is music
This time we run, this time we hide
This time we draw on all the fire we have inside
We need some time to find a place
Where I can wipe away the madness from your face
Our name is out, our name is known
Our name is everywhere but who knows where we've flown
I never meant to kill a man
But I will show you how to live like no one can
So look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
I met you wild in a snowed up town
Where I was waiting tied and bound to be sent down
Then I broke loose, you weren't around
So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down
Now look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
You followed me when I said no
You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go
We made some friends but now it's done
I always knew that we would never find the sun
So look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
So look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
