MY TOWN Song by Glass Tiger

-
"My Town" is a song by Canadian band Glass Tiger. Released in August 1991 as the fourth single from their third studio album, Simple Mission, Rod Stewart appears as a featured vocalist. Composition inspired by Celtic music, "My Town" was written by Glass Tiger bandmates Alan Frew, Alan Connelly and Wayne Parker, as well as Jim Cregan, who co-wrote two of Stewart's other hits. The song's lyrics are a tribute to Frew's hometown, Coatbridge, Scotland, and Stewart was invited to record the song with Glass Tiger because of his Scottish nationality.













LYRICS 

Bring the wind to carry me over
Lead me home to my town
Tell me when that breeze is blowing
Takin' me home to my town
When I think of you Scotia
There's a love that just bleeds in my heart
In my childhood days we went our different ways
But you knew that we'd never part.
Now I'm all alone and you're calling me home
You knew our love would never die.
And though my roving eyes always led me astray
I'm coming back home, Scotia don't walk away
Bring the wind to carry me over
Lead me home to my town
Tell me when that breeze is blowing
Takin' me home to my town
So when I think of you Scotia
There's a magic that fills the air
We're the "downtown boys" making all that noise
Oh, we lived like we just don't care.
So we drank our fill for King and Country
Yeah, till the last soldier fell
Burlington Bertie, you're in my heart forever
I want to drown in the stories you tell!
Bring the wind to carry me over
Lead me home to my town
Tell me when that breeze is blowing
Takin' me home to my town
Oh to my town
You made me all I can ever be
If I should fall your love will rescue me
Bring the wind to carry me over
Lead me home to my town
Tell me when that breeze is blowing
Takin' me home to my town
Bring the wind to carry me over
Lead me home to my town
Tell me when that breeze is blowing
Takin' me home to my town
Carry me over
To my town
Takin me home to my town
Bring the wind to carry me over
Lead me home to my town
Tell me when that breeze is blowing
Takin' me home to my town

BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds

 BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds This song was inspired by the 1987 Enniskillen bombing, when a bomb planted by the IRA exploded during a Remembrance Day service at Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, killing 11 people and injuring at least 63. Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr explained to Q magazine in 1989: "In the second part of 'Belfast Child' I'm trying to relate to people in Northern Ireland who've also lost loved ones. I'm trying to talk about the madness and sadness and emptiness. I'm not saying I have any pearls of wisdom, but I have a few questions to ask. When I'm asked on American TV who my heroes are, rather than saying Lou Reed or Bob Dylan or someone who goes without saying, I say there are these people called Amnesty International and what they are doing I think is rather heroic. It only takes about 30 seconds."  The music is based on a traditional song alled "She Moved Through The Fair," which Jim Kerr hea...

Feels Like I'm in Love Song by Kelly Marie Ray Dorset, who was the lead vocalist for Mungo Jerry, wrote this for Elvis Presley, who was one of his idols. Unfortunately, Elvis' untimely death ruled this out and the song ended up as the B-side of a Mungo Jerry single released in France. In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Dorset explains: "I wrote Feels Like I'm In Love in 1977 with Elvis Presley in mind and even recorded it Elvis-style on my demo. My producer, Barry Murray, was about to send it to Elvis when he got a phone call saying Elvis had died. After that, I kinda put it to bed for a while. Kelly Marie had a few minor hits in France and had been hanging around our office a bit. I thought she had a good voice, so I asked her if she wanted to record the song." This was originally released 18 months earlier but it failed to chart. It then became a northern club hit before finally topping the UK charts. Kelly Marie was born Jacqueline McK...
