My favorite Big Country song of all time, and one of the few songs that brings tears to my eyes every time.

 

'If I die in a combat zone, box me up and ship me home'...Dear God, how many more times do we need to hear that?

 

Great song by a great band about the Great War.

 

RIP Stuart Adamson.

You Cheeky Monkey. Now I'm getting a bit emotional. Damn good song with great lyrics about the Great War, indeed.

The first LP I ever bought with my own money was The Crossing, their debut, and I ate it up. Funny, though... it was the only LP of theirs I owned.

 

I do remember this track on the music video channels. Seems like their initial success faded quickly, and they never got it back - at least in North America anyway.

 

Wow, I haven't seen this video in 25 years. It's great! I can look back now and really, truly appreciate the musical talent that band had. You know - the drummer recorded the drum tracks on almost all of the Cult album Love. He's a hot player.

 

Too bad about Stuart Adamson, though.
