Chris De Burgh Album: “Love Songs”

I found the cassette in a department store in Wuhan, China, while spending a year in a small village as a consultant, greatly missing my wife and family. After listening many times on my walkman (my only source of western entertainment) I found myself singing the whole album aloud during long walks through the chinese countryside. The album (sorry, i'm showing my age) became my theme for my time in China and my connection with my Scottish wife back in Texas. I'd been familiar with "Lady in Red" and "Ferryman", but interested in Chris DeBurgh since I'd heard an extensive interview on Spanish radio when I lived in Seville in "92. To me, the songs flow well into a "concept" album, mirroring the fluctuations, elations, despair and hope of romantic emotions.

This CD is marvelous. I bought it at Heathrow on my way back to the states and listened to it the whole 11 hours back to L.A.! It combines all the old favorites, including LIR and some great new ones as well. It's the perfect CD to have playing while having a candle-light dinner with your lover. A definite keeper.

Get the CD, get to your room, close the door, get your portable cd player(Do listen to this using headphones only), dim the lights and listen to it... Don't let me explain it and spoil the fun for you.. I have done this several times.. And I am sure CDB will work the same magic for you guys also..

His best... But should ave included tender hands and sailing away too I feel/wish

We really liked de Burgh's songs. Our favorite was Lady in Red, which was the first song we slow danced to at our wedding dance in 1993. Liked many of the other songs as well!

for me this cd was great .... it brings back alot of great memories of being on the dance floor in the 70's love it
