I am Dutch and I only discovered this song last year via RUclips. My parents gave me an album for in the car and then I got curious about more of his music. I love his album getaway from 1982, my birth year. I saw that he is giving a concert in Dortmund in October, but a 2 hour drive for me. Of course it is already sold out...
When I listen to this song very time, it takes me back to my child hood in 80`s and to compere that time by today`s world of chaos and pain. and I wish I could go back to that time once more and never get back here.
+Mohsen Pacdoust , Hello Mohsen, Erik Vanderpoel here in Australia, I so love what you have written from your heart, We , My Margaret & I feel the same, We are the chosen ones in this life, We have been richer than all, Now we all live in fear, May god bless us all
If an artist wants to convey something about God, he or she is free to do so. I am glad popular artists are doing this. We all will stand before the King to give an account of our life. We all sin, but we need to repent and ask His forgiveness. God is who He says he is. Why not be part of the solution? You never know what great things are waiting for you!
@@brigidsingleton1596 how sure are you that you are not the deluded one ? 'Concerning Christ' an e-book you can find on Barnes and Noble proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that what you call a fairy-tale is in fact more true than your own conviction that you really know what is going on. If you are so sure it is a fairytale why did you bother to comment ? perhaps your conscience is accusing you and you are trying to placate it by your hollow words ?
I live close to his family home. See him sometimes. My dad went to school with him. He was a massive fan and I quickly followed suit. From a young boy to now. His songs bring me back to my youth everytime and times I spent with family.
Is that Dalkey Island or has he now moved on? Remember when we went across to Dublin in the 80s for one of his concerts & I was dragged there by my sister, purely because she wanted to find his house & hopefully bump into him! Was a fantastic concert.
The problem with not aging and living way beyond what you should isn't the many people you will know and outlive. It's your initial family that you will forget more and more as time passes, to the point you won't remember anything even what they looked like unless you see a picture.
When I ,as a non-English person, heard of this song on a tape ( I was 15 or so) feel his words, sense his words I can tell 1 thing about this song: Simply the best!

We often wonder why people are so oblivious to Chris de Burgh's amazing talent. Music as amazing as his deafens the ignorant. Simple enough theory. Forever will Chris be my one of my favourite artists and forever will his songs remain in my heart
Today's youth want to hear screaming, not singing. They don't understand the words, or hear the message. When you listen to Chris DE Burgh, he touches you and I mean good.
The last time I cried, I was sitting home, And it was deep in the night, Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights, Giving all that I had, to take them away, Giving all that I had, to make them pay; The last time I cried, I could see the people, Long ago in the rain, Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train, And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears, And the word is the same, for a thousand years, Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me; The last time I cried, I could not believe it, When I held on a face, Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain, It was the face of a child, my child here asleep, And the soldier who smiled, the man was me, Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me? Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me, The last time I cried, the last time I cried, The last time I cried, the last time I cried, The last time I cried, the last time I cried, The last time I cried, the last time I cried, The last time.
Exactly Martyn. Ask anyone to name a song by Chris and they come up with Lady in Red. I have converted many people to liking him by playing Spanish Train and Crusader albums.
one of the greatest singers of the modern era he is so genuine...come on Israel get a grip leave the Palestinians alone .. You complained about the Nazis do not be them
Sometimes the answer is NO. We just don't like that answer. I have had the same problem. Then one of the people I pray for replied, "I am in pain, therefore alive, I have trouble at the moment on the business front, I therefore have a job, One of my teenage children is being a bit of a pain at the moment, I therefore have children." I continue to pray to our God through our Lord Jesus.
I grew up with this song (and a handful of other Chris de Burgh's) when I was in high school and early college age. What a great reminder, thanks to CdeB and to you Steve for the upload.
Simply brilliant!!!!!! The last time I heard anything new from Chris was around '86. I was a huge fan of the man back in the '70's and early '80's. But WOW!!!! his voice is as crystal, and powerful as it ever was. That is impressive for one of his age. Obviously he hasn't done damage to his vocal instrument, like so many other's from his period. Thanx for the terrific post!!!!!!!!
This man can really sing. His message, it touches you, you can feel the emotion. I noticed Rolling Stone recently called his song, Lady In Red one of the 80's worst songs. So many people have never been in love. They do not know the meaning the words "such a feeling of complete and utter love" worst song, no way.
When I was a kid I never understood the lyrics. Today as an grown man and reborn Christian I understand the lyrics very well and the rejection of the messiah by the jews and the aftermath of that.
we can lost all things in this life without feel the pain then when your angle child leave you forever ! I miss you so much my son and I cry insid my mind ,the tears of emotions drooping into my heart to write you my affection in the sky of love. it's the realy war !!?then everybody need to wing fr living in peace ...
Great song. Brilliant use of echo. One of the few singers who uses not just the (fabulous) music but also the impact of the words to get over the message. Very probably because he is one of very few singers who sings well enough for the listener to understand him.
Agreed. This combined with Risen Lord on the High on Emotion live album is incredible. In fact that live album is I think one of the highlights of his career, I grew up with it and recently rediscovered it via Spotify.
still have that cassette .. it was so damn played out even 20 years ago :) and i will probabbly never play it again .. but that cassette stays ! just in case i might ever need it ..
sad memories great Master Piece i love it i can't prevent myself of listenning at it continuously !!thank you my Heart to share with me Christ de Burghhis voice is so lovely
"Just A Word Away" was chosen by me (& my now ex-husband) to be played at our baby twins' funeral: Born and died: Thurs,16th January 1992, Philip Julian Leigh lived _6_ hours, Marianne Zara Cyrena lived _12_ hours. Born six minutes apart. (Philip 1st), Died six hours apart. R.I.P. 💙💔🧡💔.
Proud owner of Spanish train original LP and life long fan of CDB , seen him live in Belfast kings hall; 1981 ish far as I can remember, still have the ticket stub somewhere 🤔
My mother loved lady in red and bought all his CD's so i learned his music and gotta say he does some of the most beautiful work in studio. have not seen him live but would like to. a tremendous talent and rare voice
i have a great respect and admiration for this beautiful soul how compasionnate is in person not only threw his songs and music ,,,,he is what you see ,,,,i just love that man for his beauty inside outxxxxxxxxxxxx
cancion y musica que se y se siente por todo el cuerpo !!!
A Masterpiece,missing those golden days of music
This is the first time I, an American, hear this song. It was recommended by a German to a French friend of mine who just told me about it.

❤From 'Flying Colours' ...a lovely album. Great songs. Great writing.
Great performances.❤
Iranians are his number one fans
Try Crusader very early album but life changing
The first ever English song I remember from memory.... My father had it on a cassette...
My brother favourite song

The world was actually more violent in the 80s than it was today, we just didn't hear about what was going on. :/
Nice song I like

They don't make songs like this anymore, that's for sure. Such passion!!!
True
Listen to the place where he inserted the blade by black country new road
Ich liebe jeden Song von Ihm..er ist einfach grossartig!!!
Años buscando este temazo y hoy encontré difrutando,epoca 80 lo mejor!!!
Chris DeBurgh is a legendary story teller and no one I can think of, is at his level of making you think and feel the passion.
al stewart is up there mate

The last time I cried, I was sitting home,
And it was deep in the night,
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
Giving all that I had, to take them away,
Giving all that I had, to make them pay;
The last time I cried, I could see the people,
Long ago in the rain,
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
And the word is the same, for a thousand years,
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me;
The last time I cried, I could not believe it,
When I held on a face,
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain,
It was the face of a child, my child here asleep,
And the soldier who smiled, the man was me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me?
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time.
JonnysKia ..thanks for the lyric🙌
Thank You For the Upload of the lyrics
Wonderful genius.
thank you a lot
Très beau texte, Chris est excellent.
Of all the about 350 great songs Chris de Burgh has written in the last 50 years this is one of my favourites. Deep meaning and powerful rhythm.
I agree! I think this IS my favourite. The melody and words are just *Chef's Kiss*. You can feel the emotion and urgency ❤
Is this guy a genius, i have been a fan for 30 years, since 84' why is he not a super star,?
Exactly Martyn. Ask anyone to name a song by Chris and they come up with Lady in Red.
I have converted many people to liking him by playing Spanish Train and Crusader albums.
Frank Dutton As I have done also to my 17 year old son ...he loves the Spanish Train Album.
Chris is a super star in Europe and Asia
Martyn George j'ai découvert chris à l'été 1992 et je suis resté fan et pour toujours
Oh he is he’s just a modest one like David Gilmore people who prefer to stay out of the news but for their art.
ONE OF THE BEST SINGER SONGWRITERS OF OUR HUMAN EXISTENCE AMAZING
Hello how are you doing at the moment??
Salute Chris de Burgh....Best of all time
Marvelous song.Just Osummm. No Doubt. So, We always say, Old is 100% Gold.
one of the greatest singers of the modern era he is so genuine...come on Israel get a grip leave the Palestinians alone .. You complained about the Nazis do not be them
its actually a prayer to the dead soldiers me and my dad are HUGE fans of CDB
Love it, love it....I am crying my eyes out, OMG!!
so did when I heard this song I cried too , I am with you !
POSEiDON ⭐ Remembering this. 😭

بارها این اهنگ را تکرار کردم و بر گذشته سرشار از زندگی در دوران نوجوانی و جوانی گریستم و گریستم😢🥲😭😭😭
Es por lejos el mejor tema de Chris por su contenido, como su interpretacion.

Слушаю ДеБурга с конца 80-х, это лучшая вещь
Largely thanks to RUclips, I am discovering the great music of Chris de Burgh. Awesome writing and delivering.
Has he forsaken us all in this mad world in 2020?
I use to listen to this song when I always get sad.. It's sad March 2021
Now it's sad April 2021
One of Chris de Burghs best & most poignant songs, it still works for me after all these years, very moving.
This man can really sing. His message, it touches you, you can feel the emotion. I noticed Rolling Stone recently called his song, Lady In Red one of the 80's worst songs. So many people have never been in love. They do not know the meaning the words "such a feeling of complete and utter love" worst song, no way.
My dad passed away in October 2011. Love listening to this song. As it was our singing song amongst others.
Sorry to hear. Thoughts are with you.
Oh am so sorry for that and are you still listening to this music??
Me & all we Love this song..
Excellent video combination...
🇧🇩🇧🇩
Jupp ❤😊
What a beat, what a lyrics and what a voice.
Brilliant
But
The suffering gets Worse.....
1'st ever hearing--Awsome simply Awsome--Moved me to tears. BloodRed.😚🍒
I love that God has given Chris this beautiful voice. Love from a tuneless woman x
Your sweet voice melted my soul... You're a legend chris
Spectacular song and performance from Chris De burgh
When I was a kid I never understood the lyrics. Today as an grown man and reborn Christian I understand the lyrics very well and the rejection of the messiah by the jews and the aftermath of that.
Refreshes my memories, how such a beautiful song. Thanks to introduce my boyhood singer great Chris de burgh.
My most favorite song.
Phantastisches Lied, Gänsehaut pur. Er hat es einfach drauf.
Powerful words. Lord. You have forsaken me.
what a brilliant song. it conveys pain and suffering of ages and still relevant today...
we can lost all things in this life without feel the pain then when your angle child leave you forever ! I miss you so much my son and I cry insid my mind ,the tears of emotions drooping into my heart to write you my affection in the sky of love. it's the realy war !!?then everybody need to wing fr living in peace ...
"Why have You forsaken me". Direct quote from The Bible that Christ cried from the cross.
Quem está a ver em 2022 ? É INAGUALAVEL Não Não Há Ninguém como o CHRIS de BURGH ! ! Não há ! ! Ninguém ! ! Não HÁ ! !
Love Chris de Burgh songs..wondermooi !!

fan from the start .. still makes me well up at the heartache he puts into the songs
I love all songs of Chris de Burgh
Me too!!!
Like seriously and why do you like him so much??
chris you are just too much...i cant get enough of your songs
Me tooooo.......
عندما تسمع هذه الكلمات وهذا الحن تعرف انك في حضرة الفن اما الباقي مجرد تقليد لاغير
