  • Asia are an English rock group formed in 1981. The band was labelled a supergroup and included former members of veteran progressive rock bands Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Uriah Heep, U.K., Roxy Music, Wishbone Ash and The Buggles. Since 2007, there have been two distinct groups using the Asia name: a reunion of the band's original line-up performing as Asia, and Asia Featuring John Payne as a continuation of the pre-2006 Asia line-up, initially featuring three of its members.

    The John Payne era of Asia deserves a lot more attention and respect. The original 4 had the handful of hits that brought them to the world's attention - but Payne's era was more soulful & musically diverse. They made one great album after another, even if most of the world failed to notice.

    The initial part reminds me of my best friend :( He passed away in 2015 from cancer. He was the first real friend i had or probably the only friend. We used to listen to this song at my parents beach house in the 00's. Miss him alot. Thank you ASIA for all the love you have given to me over the years. Your music should live on forever be it Wetton's or Payne's era the idea is to transmit love, compassion, passion and good values.

    Don't hang that sign on me
    You're the stranger
    Don't try to talk to me
    You're the stranger
    On the seas
    They came from far away
    From the skies
    Their silver birds of prey
    In one day
    Ten thousand years could change
    We are fools
    To live your pilgrim ways
    Don't hang that sign on me
    You're the stranger
    Don't try to talk to me
    You're the stranger
    And we drive
    Five hundred miles this time
    To the edge
    Of crystal-cut blue sky
    Silence breathes
    South of the border line
    Silent trees
    Look back and wonder why
    Did father and his holy son
    Spread the word and point the gun?
    And where the eagle used to fly
    They carve their concrete in the sky
    Tearing at our mother's skin
    Taking all her blood within
    Remember how it used to be?
    Did father and his holy son
    Spread the word and point the gun
    And where the eagle used to fly
    They carve their concrete in the sky
    Tearing at our mother's skin
    Taking all her blood within
    Remember how it used to be?
    Stand up again and say:
    Don't hang that sign on me
    You're the stranger
    Don't try to talk to me
    You're the stranger
    Don't hang that sign on me
    You're the stranger
    Don't try to talk to me
    You're the stranger

      "Did the father and his holy son spread the word and point the gun?"
      Religious extremism.
      "And where the eagle used to fly, they carve their concrete in the sky"
      Industrialization and urbanization of the landscape.
      "Tearing at our mother's skin, taking all her blood within"
      Digging into the earth to harvest its natural resources, such as oil and minerals.
      These lyrics are just brilliant.

    and whenver Wetton sings, Payne is playing the bass and vice versa, and then here and there some songs sung together... But my guess is that geoff downes won't be very much in favor of the idea. Furthermore, if you have to divide the income of declining sales between 5 or 4 members, that makes an important difference...
