I was preparing this post (with a link to Driving Home For Christmas) when I read that the song’s composer Chris Rea died just a few days ago.
Sometimes, the universe has a shitty sense of humor. Although I have to say that this one made me giggle a bit:
I saw Chris Rea in ’83 in Dublin, touring after Water Sign came out. It was my first non classical or folk concert. A great show.
