Listening to sad songs from my collection. Largely #AllAboutEve (deliciously miserable) and #BigCountry sprinkled with #FleetwoodMac. I’m actually fine, but I love that Steven Moffat notion that “sad is happy for deep people”.

Big Country, The Crossing, 1983 on Mercury

Debut album by Scotland’s Big Country, which charted at number 18 in the US, and contains the song “In a Big Country.” Produced by Steve Lillywhite and recorded in London and Oxford.

The opening of that track – “In a Big Country” – is just indelibly etched in my early 80s memory. I’m sure they tired of the comparison of their guitar sound to bagpipes, but it certainly stood out and somehow felt Scottish to me.

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a Hauppauge pressing (note the “53” at the beginning of the rim text) from 1983.

Big Country were my band in the eighties.
I don't think any song's lyrics hit me quite as hard to this day as
Chance.

"He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with.."

Man.

RIP, Stuart Adamson. Your music had a tremendous impact on this kid from Shreveport, Louisiana.
