    Christy could take any song and sing it with total conviction and always pitch perfect, and always delivered with pure heart.

    I don't know why these guys aren't global superstars. This is the most emotive version of Wish You Were Here by a fucking long shot, Christy had a stage presence to rival anyone, and yet I was 35 before I even heard of them, even though I grew up in Scotland and made a living through music my whole life.
    Dad, I miss you.

      As a 70 yo Australian I have been listening to all forms of music since the 60 s and I must say this band is right up there. One of my regrets in life now is that I’ve just found them. So sad.

      RIP Christy and thanks to all associated with Aslan. Aslan was (is) a band that was more than the frontman. No doubt he sang well, but I don't think we'd have heard too much of him without Joe Jewell and Billy McGuinness.

    So you think you can tell
    Heaven from Hell
    Blue skies from pain
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
    Did they get you to trade
    Your heroes for ghosts
    Hot ashes for trees
    And hot air for a cool breeze
    And cold comfort for change?
    Did you exchange
    A walk-on part in the war
    For a lead role in a cage?
    Noah Kahan 'Forever' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified
    How I wish
    How I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    And what have we found?
    The same old fear
    I wish you were here
    How I wish
    How I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    And what have we found?
    The same old fear
    I wish you were here
    I wish you were here
    And how I wish you were here
    I wish you were here
    Do do do do do
    Do do do do do
