Chris de Burgh: "High On Emotion" (1984)
Chris de Burgh (born Christopher John Davison, 15 October 1948, Venado Tuerto, Santa Fe Province, Argentina) is a British/Irish singer-songwriter. He is most famous for his 1986 love song "The Lady in Red".
Chris de Burgh signed his first contract with A&M Records in 1974, and supported Supertramp on their Crime of the Century tour, building himself a small fan base. His début album, Far Beyond These Castle Walls, was a folk-tinged stab at fantasy in the tradition of the Moody Blues that failed to chart upon its release in February 1975. That July, he released a single called "Turning Round" from the album, released outside the UK and Ireland as "Flying". It failed to make an impression in the UK, but it stayed on top of the Brazilian charts for 17 weeks. This became a familiar pattern for the singer/songwriter, as every one of his '70s albums failed to chart in the UK or U.S. while they racked up big sales in European and South American countries. In 1981, he had his first UK chart entry with Best Moves, a collection culled from his early albums. It set the stage for 1982's Rupert Hine produced The Getaway, which reached number 30 in the UK charts and number 43 in the U.S., thanks to the eerie single "Don't Pay the Ferryman". Chris de Burgh's follow-up album, Man on the Line, also performed well, charting at 69 in the U.S. and 11 in the UK.
- Lyrics:
Oh my heart is spinning like a weel,
Only she can see the way that I feel,
Eyes are holding right across the room,
High explosion coming out of the blue;
Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;
I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
Oh my heart is burning like a fire,
Closer now and she is breathing desire,
Take my hand and give it all your light,
Take command I am your rhythm tonight;
Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;
I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
High on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, her love will find the way. . .
