 On Silvertown Way, the cranes stand high Quiet and gray against the still of the sky They won't quit and lay down though the action has died They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side From the poisonous drains a vision appears New circle of cranes, a new reason to be here A big silver dome rising up into the dawn Above the church and the homes were all the silver is gone If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown A silver dawn steals over the docks A truck with no wheels up on cinder blocks Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice They'll tell you the where you can turn, where you can go There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown From the Caning Town train I see a billboard high There's a big silver plane raising up into the sky And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day' Says six of those birds are bound for JFK If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues And I'm going down in Silvertown Down in Silvertown Going down Silvertown Down in Silvertown

Thin Lizzy & Gary Moore - Don't Believe A Word - Live at BBC TV, 1979

  Thin Lizzy are a hard rock band formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. Two of the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist and lead vocalist Phil Lynott, met while still in school. Lynott led the group throughout their recording career of twelve studio albums, writing most of the material. The singles "Whiskey in the Jar" (a traditional Irish ballad), "Jailbreak", and "The Boys Are Back in Town" were major international hits. After Lynott's death in 1986, various incarnations of the band emerged over the years based initially around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes, though Sykes left the band in 2009. Gorham later continued with a new line-up including Downey.

 

Robert William Gary Moore (4 April 1952 – 6 February 2011) was a Northern Irish musician. Over the course of his career he played in various groups and performed a range of music including blues, blues rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and jazz fusion.

Influenced by Peter Green and Eric Clapton, Moore began his career in the late 1960s when he joined Skid Row, with whom he released two albums. After Moore left the group he joined Thin Lizzy, featuring his former Skid Row bandmate and frequent collaborator Phil Lynott. Moore began his solo career in the 1970s and achieved major success with 1979's "Parisienne Walkways", which is considered his signature song. During the 1980s, Moore transitioned into playing hard rock and heavy metal with varying degrees of international success. In 1990, he returned to his roots with Still Got the Blues, which became the most successful album of his career. Moore continued to release new music throughout his later career, collaborating with other artists from time to time. Moore died on 6 February 2011 from a heart attack while on holiday in Spain.

"If" is a song written by American singer-songwriter David Gates in 1971.

It also spent three weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Easy Listening chart,^[1] and one week at the top of the Canadian AC chart.^[2]

In the U.S., Bread's tune was the shortest song title to become a top ten hit until 1993, when Prince hit No. 7 with "7", and Britney Spears reached No. 1 with "3" in 2009.

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

Roger Hodgson- Only Because of You (Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra at Jazzopen Schlossplatz.)

 Charles Roger Pomfret Hodgson (born 21 March 1950) is an English musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the former co-frontman and founding member of progressive rock band Supertramp.^[2][3][4] Hodgson composed and sang the majority of the band’s hits such as "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", "Take the Long Way Home", "The Logical Song", "It's Raining Again", and "Breakfast in America".

Hodgson left Supertramp in 1983 and moved his family away from the Los Angeles music scene to live a simpler lifestyle close to nature and be home with his children as they were growing up.^[5] Hodgson returned to touring in 2001. He often writes about spiritual and philosophical topics, and his lyrics have been described as personal and meaningful.^[6]

This performance is from a July 2013 concert in Germany with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra at Jazzopen Schlossplatz.

This glorious song, Only Because of You, is from Roger Hodgson’s 1984 album, In the Eye of the Storm. Roger's hauntingly exquisite lyrics and melody of this beauty touch the soul deeply and often brings audience members to tears. Seeing Roger perform with an orchestra is mesmerizing.

Chris Rea - As Long As I Have Your Love

 Christopher Anton Rea (/ˈriːə/ REE-ə; born 4 March 1951)^[1] is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky singing and slide guitar playing,^[2][3] with the Guinness Rockopedia describing him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart".^[4] After learning to play the guitar relatively late, a short burst of local band activity led to his launching a solo career in 1978.

"The Blue Cafe" is the fourteenth studio album by Chris Rea, released in 1998. A confident and consistent album, The Blue Cafe combines Rea's atmospheric songwriting with larger doses of his slide guitar playing than usual. An overlooked talent of his, it underlies this collection of contemporary sounding songs rooted in dance beats and blues.

Listen to the pouring rain Listen to it pour, And with every drop of rain You know I love you more Let it rain all night long, Let my love for you go strong, As long as we're together Who cares about the weather? Listen to the falling rain, Listen to it fall, And with every drop of rain, I can hear you call, Call my name right out loud, I can here above the clouds And I'm here among the puddles, You and I together huddle. Listen to the falling rain, Listen to it fall. It's raining, It's pouring, The old man is snoring, Went to bad And bumped his head, He couldn't get up in the morning, Listen to the falling rain, listen to the rain
