Wow. I remember, back in March of 1990 and a month before I married my (beautiful, lovely, awesome) wife Trish, my best friend Mark took me out to lunch for my birthday. He gave me a CD - yeah, Chris Rea's "The Road to Hell". I said "Thanks Mark, but I don't have a CD player", and he replied "I'm sure you'll get one soon". So at our wedding rehearsal party, Mark and his wife Beth (two of my all time favorite people, BTW) gave us a CD player for a wedding gift. So awesome. And long story short, this was my 1st CD and still one of my favorites. What a great voice, musician & songwriter...
Amazing... if you wrote your story 4 years ago, and now its 2018... so till 2014 you both had a true love from 1990, if you mentioned this story. All the best to you both.
when my dad passed away, he had a study with a wall of nothing but music tapes. we eventually had to clear some but one day i stood alone in the room and some force compelled me to take out the road to hell tape and listen to it. there are forces greater than we know at work in this world
This song. Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. David Bowie's Big Brother. Dire Straits' Industrial Disease. Judas Priest's Electric Eye. They saw EXACTLY where the UK was heading.
Every time i pull out of Heathrow to go visit family back in UK,this tune always comes into my head.Because its the road the song is all about,and as i am passing Milton Keys and see the concrete Cows,i realize,why i left UK. And left for Canada. But Boy what a good Tune.
There's always been something about this song that just makes me want to break down in tears. I haven't listened to it in like 10 years and here I am trying to keep it together. Soooo bittersweet.
Да Уж. ..Сильнейшая ВЕЩЬ. Во время стояния в пробке, под проливным дождем, .,НА. ..лобовое стекло, увидел, силуэт Ушедшей в другую жизнь. Силуэт Матери. ..
It's odd that I've been a fan of this man since he burst onto the American music charts with "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" in 1979, and this is the first video of his I've ever seen (with the exception of his appearance in Bill Wyman's Willy & The Poor Boys video). There really are no words to express how this guy's music moves me in so many ways...a songwriter of the 1st degree, and that voice...man, that voice.....
I first heard this on the soundtrack of the movie, "Beyond the Law ". It grabbed me...the first I ever knew of Chris Rea. I have lived a lot of the story in the shadows.
Once upon a time, THIS SONG was the reason i chucked in my notice as a travelling salesman and became a songwriter....handed my notice in an hour after hearing it................YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!....the stars aligned that night. Thanks Chris Rea....i'd kiss you if i could.
I love this song and also hope that you Cris and Ari Vatanen ar still best friends! You Cris made a song that never ever will be forgotten! I am just a person who like Rally and Ari Vatanen was and will allways be the No 1!
" Стоя на дороге под фонарями , я увидел женщину в стекле .. Свою мать .. Она спросила : " Сын , что ты здесь делаешь ? Я боюсь за тебя даже на том свете.. Я ответил : " Мама , я еду в долину росскоши .. " Сын , ты сбился с пути , ты на автостраде ведущей в ад И все дороги туда , забиты .!" 👍👍👍👍👍 Убойная музыка , особенно , когда слушаешь её в дороге ..👌👍👋
AWESOME! AWESOME! FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!! I keep telling everyone about the brilliance of Chris. The Road To Hell is in my top ten albums. The coolest guy!!
Another one of those video's that would have cost millions to make back in the 80's...you could knock it up on your laptop in a few hours these days :) Absolute classic track that still sounds as good today as it always did. Thanks for uploading.
What a wonderful good song! I've listened to this song a few weeks ago. Man, all these cars in this video. It reminds me of a very gloomy monday morning to work in the great cities of the Netherlands. Chris Rea Rocks!!!
Went on Spotify, searching for this gem. All i found was new recordings bringing nothing close as to the original. Mr. Rea in his infinitive wisdom has apparently discarded the classic for some excuse regarding "New Version 2008". Although not new, let me just say: Dont ever fuck with the silver!!
Wow so much atmosphere in one song - a real warning to us in society. Real music doing its thing. Engineer deserves a mention here. Cheers for the upload
There are many roads across Great Britain which are notorious and I'm not surprised that Chris wrote this song. The M6 around Keele in North Staffordshire has been notorious for accidents and many Manchester bound drivers should listen to this song and it may have to be included in "Royal Mail NDC the Musical!".
it's one of my favorite song. every single verse overlaps w/ my bitter memory of crushing huge bubble economy in japan, which occurred 1990 and was just the begging of the road to hell for our country (we're still in it.). it really was like "all the roads jam up with credit and there's nothing you can do". "oh look out world, take a good look what comes down here" he precisely predicted whats gonna happen. love from tokyo.
This song is so exciting. It's a mix of film soundtrack and Dire Straits in one. Chris Rea Rocks. This video clip reminds me of the traffic jams on a normal work day in the Netherlands,
in 1982 when i heard him first time, a friend mine doesnt share my love to his music.i saw my friend 30 years later and now hes n absolut fan from him too.timeless good music i will hear til i die
Blues with a modern twist, need more like this in a day and age where r & b is defined by more and more what I would call rap and pop artists who wouldn't know blues if they met it at a fabulous party. I know it's an 'oldie' but love it.
with 54 years old...lover of all kind of music...I heard about Chris Rea...but I don't remember this amazing song, which says more than simple notes of music...says an all life. Chris Rea you are a master, the boss. i liked too "and you my love"... can anybody tell me another master piece of CR? (I've found dozens and dozens of them)
This masterpiece to song was released 28 years ago. I am so glad my dad bought albums by Chris Rea so I could listen to him as a kid. ... and we still do lol
The full version is phenomenal.
One of the best rock songs ever recorded! Simply awesome!
Absolutely 100% agree he's brilliant both vocaly and guitarist
+Milos Milosavljevic the guitar reminds me of sultans of swing
+DustDreamer you are right !!For years I thought he was one of them!Funny!!!No??
your not wrong :)

And my first cousin wanted to march into his wedding with CCR,Bad Moon.
so nice story - thank you !!!! with best wishe for you 4 ))))
Agreed
Is it just me or does everyone else have trouble NOT listening to this song ten times a day?
when my dad passed away, he had a study with a wall of nothing but music tapes. we eventually had to clear some but one day i stood alone in the room and some force compelled me to take out the road to hell tape and listen to it. there are forces greater than we know at work in this world
The most beautiful man's voice in the music industry!
my late husband loved this song....RIP james
this is for you darling
Rip james
He’s not alone.
I love it too.
Awww rip jamesy
RIP James. And bless you margaret.
God bless you!
This song. Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. David Bowie's Big Brother. Dire Straits' Industrial Disease. Judas Priest's Electric Eye.
They saw EXACTLY where the UK was heading.
hawkwind living on a knifes edge.

chris burton I think the tunnel at 3.54 is at Heathrow.
I heard this song today off my radio station, had to find this song, don't know why I never heard of him, fantastic song!💜
Один из самых (!) любимых исполнителей. Моё удовольствие тонет в океане страсти миллионов.
There's always been something about this song that just makes me want to break down in tears. I haven't listened to it in like 10 years and here I am trying to keep it together. Soooo bittersweet.
ME TOO.
it's a classic. these songs are very few in our time
YOU NAILED THAT....no truer thing said.
There's plenty of music videos with this astonishing sound of unplugged electric guitars! I just love that sound!
niesamowity kawałek , zresztą jak wykonawca.
znam ten utwór od kiedy zaistniał w radio i nieprzerwanie mnie fascynuje.
Chris , jesteś wielki!
Какое вступление, какой ритм, какое звучание. Браво, Бис. Вещ придаёт силы и настроение.
Да Уж. ..Сильнейшая ВЕЩЬ. Во время стояния в пробке, под проливным дождем, .,НА. ..лобовое стекло, увидел, силуэт Ушедшей в другую жизнь. Силуэт Матери. ..
I've never heard this full version before, what a cracking intro....

Dopiero całość oddaje ducha tego utworu. Wstęp jest konieczny!
Bajeczny kawałek.
Chris, jesteś WIELKI !!!!
Once upon a time, THIS SONG was the reason i chucked in my notice as a travelling salesman and became a songwriter....handed my notice in an hour after hearing it................YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!....the stars aligned that night.
Thanks Chris Rea....i'd kiss you if i could.
Fantastic - Chris's most famous number and totally iconic.
As I've heard said, 'Most roads to Hell are paved with good intentions...'
Great song and film!
Many thanks.
Слушал эту песню когда был маленький... Это прекрасно
Полвека точно прошло. В 71 год приятно слушать! Спасибо!
I love this song and also hope that you Cris and Ari Vatanen ar still best friends! You Cris made a song that never ever will be forgotten! I am just a person who like Rally and Ari Vatanen was and will allways be the No 1!
Never heard this, but when I get a chill down my spine I know I landed in a good place music wise, amazing song.
Right?! Me too!❤WOW!
Dire Straits searching brought me here❤♫
" Стоя на дороге под фонарями , я увидел женщину в стекле ..
Свою мать ..
Она спросила : " Сын , что ты здесь делаешь ?
Я боюсь за тебя даже на том свете..
Я ответил : " Мама , я еду в долину росскоши .. "
Сын , ты сбился с пути , ты на автостраде ведущей в ад
И все дороги туда , забиты .!"
👍👍👍👍👍 Убойная музыка , особенно , когда слушаешь её в дороге ..👌👍👋
Was in Dubai recently. This kept running through my head, especially when touring the area of the rich!
ManyThanx wow that’s incredible my Friend!!,!,
AWESOME! AWESOME! FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!! I keep telling everyone about the brilliance of Chris. The Road To Hell is in my top ten albums. The coolest guy!!
my big brother played this song for me years ago and it still one of my favorites. Great voice, great piano, great lyrics and good and creepy to boot.
Obožavam ovu pjesmu,predivno,hvala !
best tune to ever come out of the 80's
+Jesse Vigor it's pretty close. Listen to the 12' extended mix of "Race" by Yello.
Great video.. brought back some personal memories :) although Mr Rea still takes the trophy for me, he's a legend
Maybe slight overstatement but it's still a fucking good one
Спасибо огромное!!!!! просто люблю все его песни ... скачала на комп )))
Another one of those video's that would have cost millions to make back in the 80's...you could knock it up on your laptop in a few hours these days :)

My Dad's favourite song. Still miss sitting with him and listening to this. :(
Great singer and guitar player, like on the beach as well.
Очень люблю этого исполнителя голос потрясающий до мурашек . Спасибо
The world needs to listen to this message right now before it is too late to stop global warming. Chris was so farsighted when he wrote this.
a song you have to keep coming back to it is near perfection
One of my favorite tracks from 1990's use to listen in my university days and decades later its still my favorite .
Studying Anatomy, lol
this is one of the best songs ever
Love it!
Yea sure is :-)
Agreed!
forever...

One of the best singer/songwriters of our era.
There are many roads across Great Britain which are notorious and I'm not surprised that Chris wrote this song. The M6 around Keele in North Staffordshire has been notorious for accidents and many Manchester bound drivers should listen to this song and it may have to be included in "Royal Mail NDC the Musical!".
Пока Я жив, буду слушать эту Прекрасную песню,в Великолепном Исполнении.
i'm 21 and this has to be one of the best songs ever
I'm 22 and I agree
Joseph Dolman lmaoo there is no way you're 21.
Rhiannon Brassington I am 16 and I agree
it's one of my favorite song. every single verse overlaps w/ my bitter memory of crushing huge bubble economy in japan, which occurred 1990 and was just the begging of the road to hell for our country (we're still in it.). it really was like "all the roads jam up with credit
and there's nothing you can do". "oh look out world, take a good look what comes down here" he precisely predicted whats gonna happen. love from tokyo.
Chris Rea, the most amazing thing to come out of Middlesborough!!!
Obožavam ovu melodiju,hvala !
One of the all time great songs
And one of the most appropriate as there are too many motorways with a reputation for being notorious.
The best song! My favourite singer! I love it.2019
People that hit dis-like on this tune are experiencing a technological breakdown.
Probably only heard part 2 before and missed the point of part1
Great punn.😎
This is pure class his vocals are spot on and love this rock tune.
This song is so exciting. It's a mix of film soundtrack and Dire Straits in one. Chris Rea Rocks. This video clip reminds me of the traffic jams on a normal work day in the Netherlands,
Another beautiful song from Chris Rea and perfect for my motorcycle tours around Germany
Espléndido! una canción fabulosa!
in 1982 when i heard him first time, a friend mine doesnt share my love to his music.i saw my friend 30 years later and now hes n absolut fan from him too.timeless good music i will hear til i die
I was the same.....the boss say no more🍻
kiss
Blues with a modern twist, need more like this in a day and age where r & b is defined by more and more what I would call rap and pop artists who wouldn't know blues if they met it at a fabulous party. I know it's an 'oldie' but love it.
Nu poti sa nu iubesti aceasta voce minunata .
жаль не знаю английского.
но ,эти Шедевры не требуют перевода.
Спасибо Крис....... Спасибо!!!!!!!!!!
но не важно знать язык для музыки ...
Елена, перевод всех песен можно найти здесь begin-english.ru/perevod-pesni/chris-rea
Могу ошибаться, но когда не понимаешь о чем песня, лучше воспринимается. Вдруг там ахинею несут, тогда и хорошая мелодия может разонравиться ).
Нет, ребята!!! Такого никто нынче не производит!!! Даже мечтать не приходится((( Жаль, корифеи уходят...
REA(L) MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU, VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!!
Heard him for the first time this year! Thanks to RUclips! Amazing I never heard him in the 90s.....but then no internet...
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
A warning.
I wish more people listened
This is such a great song.
Chris Rea is the best!!!!! Beautiful songs!!
I remember buying the single many years ago. never get bored listen to this track
Gravel, grit and tarmac! Great beat, keys, pick and slide! The swell of that organ is too much man!
This man's music is simply awesome.......it takes you to a better place!
His master piece.

Шедевр на века.
i always thought that first two minutes would fit extremely well in true detective,it captures the vibe of the show for me
+rezervoardogs I said the same thing.....
Sad but true. This is a great song. Good to hear the full version again.I used to always play this and then Leonard Cohen's The Future.
Fantastic tune.
A very “ You will listen and enjoy this record " kind of record. Super stuff!
Chris REA The MAster, he really is aBrilliant Artist!!!
I I wi h
Never seen this version before, spasiba molodec :-) Privet iz Slovakii.
This is the album version. This video was released with the single.
Even after almost 30 years this still stand as strong as ever
Wonderful song ... thanks for sharing
25 лет прошло, но голос и музыка до сих пор завораживает!
Сегодня так никто так не зделают
Great song!
С этой песней хочется мчаться только в рай !!!
with 54 years old...lover of all kind of music...I heard about Chris Rea...but I don't remember this amazing song, which says more than simple notes of music...says an all life.
Chris Rea you are a master, the boss.
i liked too "and you my love"... can anybody tell me another master piece of CR? (I've found dozens and dozens of them)
Just love this melodi. And the guitar as well.
Крис Ри, ты в моем сердце навсегда!
Есть здесь, кто русскоговорящий? Я вот с Урала, я - фанат этой песни! Между прочим, 2019!!!

С Казахстана 🤩💝😊💝
Александр Калинин С LA. Когда еду в Vegas всю дорогу кручу её.👍
Моя родина Урал . Кунгур. Супер песня. , а Крис Ри это просто бриллиант.
guitars as so harmonious
Good video, genius lyrics, mesmerizing voice, truly wonderful song/experience.
Ύστερα από 100 χρόνια, αυτό θα είναι ένα από τα καλύτερα κομμάτια, του κόσμου........
I was born in 1983 but I remember this song!
Born in 1975 have always loved this classic and Chris Rea
And the perverted fear of violence chokes the smile on every face.........
Прекрасный певец, крутая песня!
This masterpiece to song was released 28 years ago.
I am so glad my dad bought albums by Chris Rea so I could listen to him as a kid.
... and we still do lol
amazing,how come we don't have any more music,like this?not for years.
2019 and these words have never been more relevant...
Yes but when I'm rocking out in my transit I dont mind x
Instant take back to 1989 - such a simpler way of life for me then - Oh if only I had realised then what I know now.
+MrKalvinC Yep same here.
MrKalvinC True for a lot of us. So glad Chris is still with us. Love this man.
mari oli maias
Hell yeah....tropical days on Hamilton Island. #Bliss
with the time passed you understand some things more... when the song came I been under 30, now 56.. Its just classic.. forever
прекрасный голос!вещь!!!
I wish this track was made into a 30 minute or longer length, what a goosebumps track :) :)
Fool if you think it's over! Rea is a greatly under rated over looked artist.
